I went into very deep research as to what exactly that meant and how sociopaths function psychologically and within the world.

My character is called The Hunter. He's the main antagonist in the movie. In a nutshell, he's a slightly deranged natural born killer who's weirdly determined to succeed at his job, whatever his employment is. He's a mercenary and there's a high body count for him in this film [Never Go Back].

I read as many books about the psychology of a psychopath as I could and I researched what exactly happens to soldiers.

When I did Casual, I just let myself put on weight because he's a schoolteacher. He's not meant to be muscle-y.

[ Tom Cruise] that kind of employee that's first to arrive, last to leave.

You're working so hard and so many hours, you simply don't get to visit with everybody when you're gone for five months. That's part of the trade in we make with this career. You don't get to maintain the intimacy you would like to.One of the big things I was doing was working on reestablishing that.

I had heard that Tom [Cruise] was the same way, that he is incredibly dedicated. I was very excited to meet him and I was, honest to God, weirdly surprised that the guy makes me look lazy. I think he does think I'm a hard worker, but he makes me look like I'm doing nothing. The guy is at the gym before anybody in the morning.
