Honestly, my character doesn't have much in common with Harry Potter besides the fact that he's an unlikely hero who's thrown into a huge situation.

I started studying filmmakers, and I would say early on the ones that really inspired me the most were like the field magicians of music videos.

I know what it means to be Jewish, and I don't think someone who wasn't Jewish would really understand.

When filming, I like to travel with an instrument.

For me, being able to be vulnerable is difficult, but it's just something that I feel comfortable doing. I need to fully understand why, the thought-process behind the character and I have to believe it. That comes from a lot of preparation.

I don't get the jitters and I don't get nervous, because I build that comfort on set for myself. Sometimes if I'm gonna do something really crazy, it helps me to yell or look like an idiot on set, so that when I'm about to do a scene, I've already embarrassed myself. I find ways to work around getting the jitters.

I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.
