So that&#x27;s what I really focused on,&quot; he relayed.</p><p>&quot;And in the game, his stress becomes really pent up and it&#x27;s actually shown from the outside, the way he looks. I thought it was very important to really portray the difference that he experiences both physically and mentally,&quot; he added.</p>
