I had to stop working out as my character had to look very normal. He didn’t have to look built or very fit. I gave up working out and grew my arm and chest hair, just to look normal. They didn’t want the character to look predictable, as someone who can come out and start shooting people. When you see the show, you will understand that my character’s journey starts as a normal undercover agent and then of course eventually what happens? happens. I also had to go through rigorous acting workshops to truly give a standout performance.”
