Not until I was finished.
And the reason is part of my writing process is to not ever think about actors while I'm writing.
And I do that because if you think of an actor whose work you know or you've even worked with before, you're gonna limit the character to what you've seen them do before.
Not intentionally, but you're just gonna write to them on what they've already done.
And what I wanna do is write a character who's true to the needs of the story and that I discover through the writing that I can then
give to a great actor like Matt that hopefully challenges them and asks them to do something they haven't done before.
And I've worked twice with Matt, and I know what an incredible actor he is.
We all know what an incredible movie star he is as well.
And Odysseus is a very, very complicated character, very complex.
Not your traditional leading man, more of a supporting character.
I like to say, if we're looking at Star Wars, Odysseus is Han Solo.
He's not Luke Skywalker.
He's not a simple hero.
He's a wily.
Wily is the adjective most commonly associated with Odysseus.
He's a wily character.
And that's not normally what your hero is.
And so I needed an actor who could open that up to an audience without compromising the layers, without simplifying the character.
But Matt has this wonderful empathetic ability to just open a character's dilemma to an audience and carry them with him on his journey, and never needed as much as on the Odyssey.
Well, no, I looked at it.
