Q: What about Michael Fassbender?

A: Bizarrely enough, I did a commercial a commercial with Michael, I mean, I did it years ago, before he was famous, and I was just making commercials, and Michael was a jobbing actor, but I remember at that time thinking there's something incredibly special about him... And then I sort of watched his rise and rise...

But amazingly we didn't pursuing him for "Frank", his agent read the script, thought it was interesting, showed it to Michael, and then first we heard was he said Michael is interested in the part of Frank, so that was fantastic...

And then it's just a process of meeting chatting seeing if we think the same thing about it, and we do, so it was it...
