The script for 'Infamous' was so poised between tragedy and comedy. It's a dream part. One reads those scripts with a sense of melancholia. When you read a script that good... I remember thinking, 'Oh, this script is too good. They'll never give it to me.'

Good Me Thinking Comedy Remember

I went to meet Joe Johnston, the director, and he's charming. I've been very lucky. Most of the directors I've worked with are charming. But Joe's a particularly charming man, and he showed me lots of designs and, rather memorably, welcomed me to the Marvel Universe.

Man Me Universe Meet Lucky Director

Often jobs are un-turndownable even before you read the script. You go, 'Well, I have to do that.'

You Go Well Read Even Before
