\u201cI have never seen such acting talent on a set. His incredibly fast preparation and instant memorisation of the text amazed me, followed by an outstanding performance. Everything happened within 10 to 15 minutes, and we filmed everything in a single take. He is extremely pleasant to work with and completely focused on his character. I truly enjoyed working with him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
