00:00This series is dope.
00:01Oh, nice one, mate. Cheers, Romeo.
00:03Your character, you're giving me this Anthony Hopkins, Hannibal vibe. Where did you find him?
00:09Because you're a great actor.
00:11And I know you got to reach some places. Where the hell did you find yours?
00:17It's a great analogy. I think that kind of one of the things I said to Tim at the beginning,
00:24and I've said this many times, but it was that kind of wanting to find a stillness.
00:29And I thought the paradoxical element of him meditating in that space as a visual would be like,
00:37oh, that's a bit disconcerting, but also for him personally, you know, because he's going to be here for a
00:44long time.
00:45And he knows that he needs to practice patience.
00:50And in order to practice the art of patience for him, he learns to meditate.
00:55So he knows that his overall objective is to escape.
00:59Let's be honest, he needs to get out of this box in order to carry on doing what he's doing.
01:04But the only way he can do that is by waiting patiently to find the right thing, which is Carl,
01:12to open that first door.
01:14Because he needs to get out of that first cell in order to start his journey.
01:19So it was that kind of element of stillness that we wanted to bring into the character.
01:24Do you know what I mean?
01:24And that kind of strange dichotomy where somebody sits on the floor and meditates.
01:30But he also, because that beginning bit where he's talking and whispering down the sink to the guy in the
01:39other room and he's in his head.
01:41You know, that's his little bit of entertainment in a way as well.
01:44And that's him.
01:45That's him practicing his art of getting inside people's heads.
01:49You know what he wants.
01:50Then I'll see you in the next situation, as well.
