NORMALLY AS AN ACTOR YOU ARE
LOOKING FOR AS MUCH INFORMATION
AS YOU CAN FOR THE CHARACTER.
IT’S ALL THERE, VICTOR HUGO’S
BOOK.
BOOK. >> IS IT TRUE, DAVID, ON THE SET
YOU WERE IN CHARACTER THE ENTIRE
TIME AND THAT YOU APPARENTLY
DEVELOPED QUITE THE REPUTATION
FOR BEING UNFRIENDLY AS A
RESULT?

REALLY HELPFUL.
REALLY HELPFUL. IT WAS MINUS 13, DIRTY WHERE WE
WERE SHOOTING.
WERE SHOOTING. I WAS JET LAGGED.
I WAS SO NERVOUS.
I WAS DEATHLY AFRAID.
AND SO, I DON’T KNOW.
I GOOGLED SYMPTOMS OF ALL THE
THINGS SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SICK
WITH AND I JUST KIND OF WENT
WITH IT.
WITH IT. YOU KNOW, I HONESTLY AM A
BELIEVER

FEELING IN THE ENVONMENT YOU
ARE IN AND I CHANNELLED IT.

THE FIRST PART OF FILMING WAS
INTERESTING TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS
THE END OF HER LIFE.
WHEN I CAME BACK IN SUMMER IT
WAS HAPPY TIMES.
THE FIRST PART WAS A LITTLE MORE
DEPRESSING, BUT IT WAS ALL WORTH
IT BECAUSE I KEPT USING IT FOR
THE CHARACTER.
THE CHARACTER. >> WHAT ABOUT FOR YOU PLAYING A
VILLAIN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE
STAYING IN CHARACTER?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. IT WAS, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I GREW TO LOVE HIM, WHICH IS, I
KNOW, A WEIRD THING TO SAY, BUT
THE THING THAT THIS SHOW
AFFORDED ME IS TO UNDERSTAND AND
EMPATHIZE WITH WHY HE WAS THE
WAY HE IS.
WHEN YOU WATCH THE MOOSE
COMPANY, HE IS KIND OF
ONE-DIMENSIONAL.
ONE-DIMENSIONAL. HE SEEMS OBSESSED WITH JEAN
VALJEAN.
VALJEAN. YOU DON’T KNOW WHY.
WITH THIS YOU REALIZE HE WAS
BORN IN PRISON TO CRIMINAL
PARENTS, HATES THAT SIDE OF
HIMSELF, AND THAT’S WHAT HE IS
TRYING TO DESTROY.
HE IS TRYING TO DESTROY A PART
OF HIMSELF WHICH HE SEES IN THIS
OTHER PERSON.
OTHER PERSON. >> THANKS FOR COMING ON.
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT.
A LOT OF FUN.
