""He's one of the only people in the world who thinks that," Gleeson says. "I love that he has that love for journalism. I think a character who really cares about something is a character who's easy to care about.""
""If you spend three months playing a real go-getter who's outgoing, and the objective is to make people laugh and keep it light, by the end of those three months, that's not what you're looking to do anymore," he says. "It's not wanting to repeat yourself.""
Ned, the newly minted editor-in-chief in The Paper, prefers Clark Kent's journalism because he finds it more noble and achievable than Superman's heroics. Domhnall Gleeson has a versatile résumé that includes Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter films, a lead in a Richard Curtis romantic drama opposite Rachel McAdams, darker turns in Echo Valley and Fountain of Youth, and a First Order villain in the Star Wars sequels. Gleeson is the son of actor Brendan Gleeson. Gleeson deliberately alternates comedic and dramatic parts to prevent repetition. Ned displays misplaced confidence, with enthusiasm outstripping editorial ability while interacting differently than Michael Scott.
