He’s a deeply religious, religious Jew who has studied the Torah and the Talmud for many of his life, and lives his life in one of the simplest ways he can in accordance with it. He thinks about it every day, hourly, and that half turned thrilling to me. I assumed, ‘Effectively, I’m an actor and that’s the half that I’m not.
