“The thing about Roman is he can read any book with total recall, but he can’t read people. That is really fascinating to play. You want to get the behavior right, but you also want to do it with empathy, to bring the proper humanity to the role,” he said.
Because of this, he ranked playing the lawyer as one of his top roles.
“We overlook people like Roman, It’s easy for them to fall through the cracks of society. And maybe for that reason, I can tell you I love this guy more than any other character I’ve played in my life,” he said.
