Earlier this year when he confirmed auditioning for the role,he had said,”There’s years – over 50 years – of backstory on him all there to use,and I like doing that.”

“Him and his sister have been abandoned by their parents and their father,and they grew up in Eastern Europe defending and looking out for themselves and each other.

“His sister really is his guidance – emotionally she’s the one who looks after him,and vice versa. He’s very overprotective physically – he doesn’t want anyone touching her.”
