“I’m going to take Carlos. And Carlos, I think it’s one of the first beautiful examples of long-format storytelling that now we’re using so much with the miniseries. And I think it’s beautiful for actors. This long format allows you to go very deep into portraying a character, to bring many layers to your Performance. And I remember there was like, 'Oh, but he’s a film– It’s not a film.' And who cares? It’s a story. It takes, I guess, five or six hours. Whatever it has to take.”
