What’s going through your head in that moment and when Tom says we’re going to do this scene?ĪTJ: I just laughed, me completely naked on a toilet.ĪTJ: He said, he had this great idea, your guy is a plumber with this toilet outside, and you’re taking this shit when they find you.

I used to call them my “Friday night going out boots.” He’s ready to go from bar to bar and drink.Ī lot of these serial killers would keep a souvenir from their victims, I mentioned it to Tom, and we were on the same wavelength and I thought about wearing this plastic heart ring that you’d find in a kid’s magazine, but it was creepy as fuck. The green cowboy boots are something else. It wasn’t in the script, and I think maybe he’s a plumber and he’s got this toilet outside that adds to his arrogance and cockiness and his ego. He has patience, a passion and I feel he cares more than most directors. It’s really nice to do that with a director. ![]() It was very intense.ĪD: What other physical transformation did you have to go through because Tom is very detailed with his films?ĪTJ: He is extremely detailed and he has a beautiful eye for that. ![]() It was disturbing and not very pleasant at all.

You can’t get a hold of him and what he’s going to do next, and Tom was able to play with that throughout. He wanted someone elaborate and big, very charming, with sex appeal, and this undertone of unpredictability which is the feeling of where the fear comes from. He had a real idea of what he wanted to see. It really did come from discussions from him. Where did you go for him because he’s not your everyday, average guy?ĪTJ: Well we’ll put some of it on Tom (Ford) as we collaborated really. There are so many things I have to say about him.
