“I love the supporting characters because you get to do more, to be totally honest. It's been sort of a theme with me. In Son of No One, I think I might have seven lines in the entire movie because everything is happening to my character.”

And I constantly throw the bits up in the air and see how they land, and eventually they kind of keep landing in the same place and that's where it stays.”
