Wray Nerely, the character in Con Man, he actually had a role in Rogue One, but he got cut. It sucked. John Swartz, the producer, is a big fan of Con Man. I even got to screen Con Man while we were shooting Star Wars. They had a theater there, and they let me screen one of the little 10-minute episodes for everyone. What sucked was I had to follow Star Wars.

The reason I got into acting was the audience is right there and if you did something great they were right there and you knew it.

I'm there [on Moana] with the other actors, so you play off one another. It's not just your idea of what the character is and what the world is like it would be in an animated [film], where it all sort of exists in your head. It's all right there, and if Diego's performance is doing what it's doing, it affects yours.

Because I'm CGI, [John Swartz] gave me a role of an Imperial pilot in one scene, so I had a day where I was on camera dressed as a black suit and a little cap that they wear.

I feel much more comfortable as an artist collaborating with others because I feel more mature.

It's closer to just acting in a film because it was a six-month commitment. We got to fly all over the world.

This movie [Moana] has a very small cast, and this was the role [Heihei] that they offered me. I loved voicing him.
