So even while we were filming, I was still unsure. It was always supposed to be this balancing act where you can't quite pinpoint it. In retrospect, I realize that he was doing that all strategically because he didn't want me to have a sure answer of how human or artificial this was. How 'robot' do you want me to play this character, how human you want me to play this character?" He was just so coy about it. It's funny because that was the first question I asked Kogonada. And then a few days later I got the call, and I was just ecstatic. He wanted me to put a second scene on tape. I consider you a friend, but I need you to audition one more time." So I went back home. You would think that he would offer it to me after that, but he was like, "I love you, Justin. We just really connected on all of these levels. I was probably rambling, but this coffee day, which was originally scheduled to be 30 to 45 minutes, ended up being three hours, and we talked about life and his work and the movie. It was like going on a first date, I was so nervous. I was on this plane ride and this wave of emotion from reading the script washed over me and I started sobbing, and the woman next to me was like, "Are you okay?" I cried, "Yes, I'm fine." I immediately got off the plane, I told my manager, "I'll do whatever I can to get involved, or to read for this part." I ended up putting myself on tape, didn't hear anything back.Ī few weeks later, I was told that Kogonada wanted to meet with me for coffee. Normally when you have high expectations, you're sort of disappointed, but it actually really exceeded my expectations.
