Interviewer: This genre really works for you more than other actors
"No I take it as a compliment. I'm grateful for that, thank you. I just don't know how to wrap my head around that. I think what works for me as an audience is an emotional context that’s strong enough to keep me as an audience, sealed into the story. And if you have a character on screen that has a varied and interesting emotional path to cover; that’s what I look for… as a hook for the audience." |

Interviewer: The motivation to protect your family?
"The emotion rises from that circumstances. Family had been taken hostage by the bad guys that compel him to defeat his own computer security system which he has designed for the bank he works for. So very sophisticated means are proposed to break into the banks computer network and to wire transfer funds to a secure place for the bad guy. But he’s using stone aged techniques as well in threatening my family to compel me to do it. |
