All we actors do is give our all to the character we painting.

The problem that I confronted on this film is that my character smoked and drank alcohol which I don’t do in actual life so I needed to be taught these mannerisms. Relaxation all was another character. When you get into the pores and skin of the character, every part else turns into simple.
