JESSE PLEMONS:Surprise and confusion were the main feelings.
It’s just something that I never expected to happen.
I was very intrigued, and the script was even better than I could have anticipated.

Yeah, buddy road trip movie.
I feel like there were pieces of Todd that I hadn’t really thought about.
But it was always so much fun.

How do you view that Todd and Jesse relationship?
It really does seem like Todd genuinely likes Jesse, and maybe even looks up to him a bit.
I think it’s kind of like a man’s best friend situation.
And also, Todd did save Jesse’s life.
So it’s almost like best friends and a dog and owner-bang out relationship.
How did you view that scene?
Was Todd testing his prisoner?
Or did he just forget about the gun?
Someone else asked me if I thought it was a test.
I didn’t read it like that.
But, I feel like however anyone wants to take it, go for it.
What was it like getting back into the mindset of Todd?
And, like anyone, you’ve grown through different experiences and just the fact of getting older.
you’ve got the option to say it: I look different.
It was a long time ago, but it was a very big part of my life.
But I was fairly nervous that first day, just to see if I could do it again.
It took a few takes, but fortunately or unfortunately Todd was still lurking in there somewhere.
What do you like about playing Todd?
Like you said, he has this innocence to him despite all of the terrible things he’s done.
I like the fact that he’s so hard to peg or define.
He’s a person who the more you look into, the more confusing he becomes.
I love the sort of rabbit hole you could go down in trying to figure him out.
Yeah, I think I should retire soon quit while I’m ahead.
I have no idea how it happened.
Right place, right time, right part, right time.
I learned so much on both of those shows.
What was that experience like working with so many legends?
Just looking around and seeing Martin Scorsese and Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
It’s like having a ticket to the Legendary Movie Mobsters Ball every day.
It’s really difficult to describe.
I’m still a little speechless over the whole experience if you could’t tell.
I’ll never forget a second of it.
