"I never considered for a second that I would be playing him. I know it's the part that people would normally see him play, but I never considered that I would play him, nor would he want me to play him. There was only one moment in the movie—I remember I was having trouble with a line and I said, 'Come on, how would you want me to do it? Just do it and I'll do it like you.'"
