The actor divulged the secret behind his magnetic performance fairly easily. He even made it sound like there wasn't much that went into it, but that was just a reflection of this talented actor's humility.
The first thing that set the actor apart was that when he read a script, he wouldn't just read it. He would take notes. He explained,
[The notes] may look like a football play sometimes, but it’s like the astrology of the spirits in the space. Everybody works in relation to someone else, always.
His approach to the script not only gave him an idea about the fluctuating emotional beats of any given scene, but also helped him keep track of his physical place as things played out.
He went on to explain that a great deal of attention went into deciding where he would be in space in regards to the rest of the cast members and the props on set. Then, to make these concepts clearer, the actor followed it through with an example from the sets of Lovecraft Country.
