“It was very fun for me to develop this character, a new shot and a new perspective. It will open new roles in the future, I hope. We are not only actors who use sign language, we are characters and we can play all the different types of characters,” he added.
Kotsur added on his role: “Every scene, my goal was for the audience to feel the emotion.”
“What I was trying to do was keep it simple. Less is more. I’m glad I approached things in that way and remain in control in these extremely emotional scenes. Because Joe Mancuso is the boss, he didn’t want to be too annoying or exaggerated. He had to keep under control and be aware of his power at all times,” Kotsur said.
