“You become more experienced, more worldly, and as an actor, you become better at what you do. So, all those things added really give the character a lot more weight, and he certainly carries a lot more emotional weight in the series. Looking back at the movie, that was easy compared to what we must deal with in the series. So, it was a really rewarding experience coming back to this character.”
