I’m not much of an actor. I have to really put myself in a situation.”He added, “That’s the job. Sometimes you have to go to places you don’t want to go to.
Hartnett explained that while he typically enjoys playing layered characters who experience “things that are way outside of what I understand,” David’s dark headspace was particularly difficult to shake. “I’m not great at getting out of it, especially if it’s hard to get into. It takes about the same amount of kind of effort to come out because I can’t just pick it up and put it down,” he said. “At the same time, I’ve got amazing friends, I’ve got an amazing family, and I have kids and they don’t care what I’ve been doing at work. They need things, so I can’t really bring it out. It’s not an option.
"I think that David is 100 percent an optimist who is hopeful about the future of technology and its relationship to people," Hartnett added, "David represents a time and place where there was great hope in our future outside of Earth.
