"I remember the first few days, filming the dinner table scene where they're eating chicken and I don't speak. It felt like the directors were saying: OK, maybe give us a little more, because they couldn't quite see what I was doing."

The actor spent significant time with Brian Wilson before filming, enjoying discussions about music. He sang with Wilson and filmed in the studio where Pet Sounds was recorded.

He read War and Peace before filming and considers it a great book. His role in Okja briefly changed his relationship with food, influenced more by age and parenthood.
