Johan, you'd agree with what your co-stars

are saying here? Oh, absolutely.

Absolutely.

I was involved in the movie sort of very late on, literally in the last two days of filming.

So I stepped into this incredible family atmosphere that had been created by the Smallbone family and the wonderful cast and crew that they had.

And when you get to see the movie, you can feel that essence running throughout it.

I mean, all the elements are there and they are so wonderfully interwoven and married together that everything sort of feels natural.

That's okay.

No, I think that's what attracted me as well as all the other cast members to the script by Andrew O'Keefe.

You know, you were able to imprint onto these characters, you know, whatever you wished, you know, whatever you desired, the background.

And I certainly read into the fact that there was definitely some sort of intimate engagement with Milk and Chris and perhaps Even perhaps in Milk's mind, in the way that I created my backstory, perhaps that Annabelle, Anna Hendricks, you know, the daughter is his daughter, you know.

So there was sort of a crushing disappointment almost at the end of the film when he discovers that, you know, Tim Roth's character, the dragon, was indeed Tim.

anna's and his father but uh i just love the fact that these guys as well i i built into my character that the fact that he was ready to go that call came and you know once they have the haircut i wanted him to have a character that was felt you know i've read a lot about ptsd uh you know from from vets that come back from these situations and it's they almost feel comfortable back in that environment because it's the environment that they know is part of that trauma.

And I felt that milk, you know, had a go bag ready by the door.

Well, for a killer, you come off as a really nice guy, which I think is not easy to play, I would think.

[laughs]

Yeah, as often is the case with these, uh, with these movies, Summer, you know, y- uh, because of, uh, locations of actors and we're flying in and, uh, other, you know, commitments and stuff, often we are thrown into to the deep end.

Um, we don't get half enough time, you know, to, to prepare just to, just to look the part.

But, uh, we were very fortunate on, on this film.

We had, um, the, our prop masters, you know, they, they were sort of, uh, trained in the military as well.

They were sort of ex-military.

So they, on a daily basis when we didn't have Joey, our resident sniper military advisor, uh, who teaches snipers, he's that, he's that good, um, we, we, we had support ev- every single day.

What, what was your take on the development of this particular boogeyman?
