This is not the first time the actor talks about his experience portraying Michael's dad, as he also told People that he looked for a "complex version" of him.
“Right now I seem to be on the track of interrogating some of these real-life human beings. I want to find their humanity, I want to find their heart and their humor. It may go against public opinion sometimes, but I think that's my responsibility to find the complex version of these people," he said at the time.
