Director Michael seemed pretty impressed with Harry’s efforts in the role, Recently saying:

“He had read the script so many times that he knew every single beat of it at that meeting”

Sharing why he was the perfect fit for a lead role, Michael added”

“Because he hasn’t done much, he hasn’t developed the ability to work out tricks or even lie. He can only do it truthfully and as he knows it.”
