I had to always decide - am I playing Will in the scene…
“I had to always decide - am I playing Will in the scene, or is it the monster, or is it a little bit of both? I had to show two different sides of one person in a scene. They were definitely very opposites, because Will is this sweet little innocent sort of kid, and the monster is fierce; he's intense. You really have to show both sides.”
