What aspect of the character were you most excited to explore in this sequel?
The biggest appeal to me as an actor was to expand on Wolff’s relationship with his brother. I loved working with Jon in the first movie. We had a lot of fun building from where we left things with these characters. I feel like all the characters from the first movie are really expanded on and fleshed out in this one. Everyone gets their moment to shine.
How do you think you would do as an accountant in real life?
Terrible! Christian Wolff is insanely smart. That is the aspect of the character I had to fake the most, for sure.
What about the physical challenge of playing the action-movie side of this character?
That is more fun for me, but, yes, it’s challenging, of course, especially when you are working with someone like Jon. He is so spectacularly good at all that stuff. Cynthia (Addai-Robinson) is also incredible and super badass in the movie. I just try to keep up. But the action in this one is even more incredible than the first movie. The action sequences are amazing, and they are not just there for the sake of just seeing stuff blow up, a car chase or a gunfight. All the action scenes make sense, and because of the way Gavin works, you care about the people involved and what happens to them. It’s action with intelligence and humour to it. You feel the tension because you are so invested in these characters.
