→ ‘Challengers’ Interview: Jake Jensen On Working With Zendaya And The Psychology Of Tennis
“Josh O’Connor didn’t really know anything about tennis before filming. He even had to learn how to score. We did a crash course in what a three-set match can look like, the scoring and the tie-break. I rode on the bus everyday with Josh so that gave us a bit of time to chat. He was obviously learning as much as he could as fast as he could. But there are a lot of details in any sport to try and pick up and learn. I think the more he felt he could get, the better job he could do for his character, [Patrick Zweig].”

→ "Henry Butash On The Making Of The Atlantic City Story With Broadway Stars Mike Faist And Jessica Hecht"
“I think where Mike’s so great is just, even when he’s not delivering dialogue, he’s just giving such a strong performance with his looks. You can always feel him thinking when you look at him—you can see him thinking. Which is sort of the mark of really good film acting, at least.”

→ “It was such a labour of love”: Jessica Hecht on The Atlantic City Story
“Mike Faist is so compelling as an actor. He’s extremely open and very meticulous in his work. But also, even when you’re watching him in a big Broadway stage, he’s so truthful and there’s something very gentle about his performance style. He’s just very delicate in what he does. I was blown away by him. There was a lot of dialogue and we would play with it in different iterations, and he was so available! I actually probably have never worked with another co-star who was quite as available and quite as easy on film. He was just magnificent.”

→ Interview: Sophie Reid on ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and ‘Lone Wolf’
“Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges are both incredible in the sense that they’re very receptive actors—they feed off of each other. They’re keen improvisers. For me, I was being very receptive to what they were doing all the time. Simply by observing them, that affected how we all sang and how we all performed the material that supported what they were doing.”
