Can you tell us a bit about your character in The Killer I picked up?
Aaron is… So, a little bit about my character. Aaron is a complicated guy. He’s charming, he’s handsome, he’s polite, he’s all of those things, but he’s also mysterious. He’s got a little bit of an allure or dark side to him. And he loves deeply. That’s how I would describe Aaron.
What initially attracted you to your role in The Killer I picked up?
What initially attracted me to the role of The Killer I Picked Up? It was, you know what, it was Aaron’s story. I was enamored with the complexity of Aaron himself. He’s a all of these things and his worldview is so thrown, in a way. And so, I loved the fact that I could play this character who has a lot of danger, who brings a lot of charm, but also has a lot of vulnerability. And I think that oftentimes, when given opportunities to play some of these outside-of-the-box characters, many actors often go to extreme lengths in terms of bringing these characters to life. Whereas I felt like there’s so much truth with Aaron’s story. And while he is an extreme, I believe that everybody can relate to him. So, it was just an opportunity for me to challenge my skills and my ability. It was a challenge in my skills and my ability to bring forth this character in a way that was truthful and honest and reflected my interests. That’s amazing.
