It [the audition process] lasted around five months with tons of waiting. After the initial meeting he [Gareth] asked me to put myself on tape, which I did in Mexico — I had to hire a crew and ask an actress friend of mine to help me, but I couldn’t tell them what it was about because we had to keep it all under wraps. A month passed and I heard nothing — I thought, “Oh, it’s over, this is gone.” Then one night I was asleep in Budapest, shooting another project, and my phone rang at 2am. I looked at the number and it was from the UK. Half my family is from Britain so I thought, “Fuck it. This must be a drunk cousin wanting me” and didn’t answer. Two seconds later I realised, “Fuck! No! It’s Gareth! Shit!” So I called him back and he said, “Welcome to the world of Star Wars.”
