“my agents have told me that marvel like you to learn the words exactly you can't improvise you can't do any of that so I learned the words exactly and then on the first take down he just completely changed the scene so I just we started riffing with each other”

The process of preparing for a role involves shifting from gathering research as external knowledge to fully embodying the character.

Nerves during auditions are beneficial and can be channeled into a character to improve performance.

“anytime I'm nervous I just remind myself that I'm nervous for a reason and that something exciting is happening you know what I mean so I think you just yeah that's so you use them you're like okay I can do it”
