“I felt very personal about it,” he said. “The writer, Chris Terrio, is a very serious writer, and he’s a very emotional person. He thought a lot about my character, and I thought a lot about my character too. I talked a lot with my coach of the character’s acting, his backstory with his dad, and his emotional life — and then people hate me.
