The ships about to leave
it was two to three-month process did my
first audition went on tape they sent it to
Chris and I didn't hear anything for a
month and a half so I assumed it was off the cards
and then got a recall and then from that
point actually Chris was in the room so
from the second audition I did about two
or three more
I sent the tape away and I pretend I was
playing with a gun like you know and
didn't show what I was playing with it was
a battery and remote and I was giving the
impression that I was loading the gun
it was intense and secret I mean that's
probably best way to describe it
no one knew anything, no one knew how many
rolls there were or what roll they were going
for or the scripts was
I think Chris had seen me in 'Bridge of Spies' and
had saw something that he thought was
right for Dawson so we had a meet and
a chat and that was lovely
I knew it was a Chris Nolan movie, we were all
fairly certain it was set in Dunkirk
and that's kind of it to be honest I knew I was
getting closer more it went on and the
less people I met with and the more I
saw Chris and the more direction he
gave and but I didn't want to hedge my bets
