![]() ![]() It’s easily the hardest I’ve ever worked on something.”Ĭasting Minghella was a no-brainer, Bousman said. “It’s almost like a spiritual shift as opposed to a physical one and that made it quite challenging and really exciting. “It kind of forced me to make the shift of the character internal as opposed to external,” he added. And believe me, there was a time of panic where I felt like I needed one too. “Usually in these movies, there is an external shift: Maybe their accents will change or they’ll suddenly stop speaking with a stutter or walking with a limp. Playing two sides of the same character was an exciting challenge, he says, particularly because the change is so subtle. They’re kind of like the original ‘Avengers’: They have this one overarching narrative and once you get it, it’s really fun.” “It was quite fun to do, they have such a rich mythology. “I felt like, given the responsibility of the role, I had to really educate myself and go back through all of the movies,” he said. ![]() To prepare to play the villain, Minghella watched all eight of the previous “Saw” films, “some of them a couple of times.” I had to remember where it was all coming from.” I was actually really grateful for that at the end of the process because it reminded me of the duality of the role the whole time, even if I was playing the cover option, as I called it. “We’d shoot whatever was scripted or whatever was on the schedule and then I would go home and dive back into that section of the movie. “That ended up being this almost constant acting class that I had to do every day. “So it was like this 10-page scene that I would get a new draft of every day and would have to relearn,” he said. It didn’t help that the scene was constantly being rewritten. “And as a result, I needed to always be ready to shoot that scene no matter what we were doing or whatever else was on the schedule.” The reveal scene was the most challenging to shoot, says Minghella, who is also a series regular on Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.” “I have to do a lot of talking and that scene also functioned as our rain cover - meaning that if anything ever happened with the weather or something went wrong, we would return to that set,” Minghella recalls. He really thinks that he and Zeke get each other, that they have a shared perspective on the world and that they’re going to be able to team up like Batman and Robin.” ![]() “But I think working with Zeke in such close proximity, he really loves him. “I think he believes that Zeke shares his own very specific moral compass which is kind of presumptuous and misguided,” said Minghella of his character. “You find the dirty cops and I’ll take care of the rest,” he says. Once he’s revealed himself as the Jigsaw copycat, Schenk offers to team up with Banks - who had been labeled a rat by his department for turning Dunleavy in - to weed out corrupt officers in the precinct. It turns out Schenk’s father was Charlie Emmerson, a witness Dunleavy killed after the man had agreed to testify against an officer who killed a civilian. Warning: Major spoilers about the final scene of “Spiral” follow.įortunately for him, Banks spies a bobby pin on the ground by his feet and successfully picks the lock just in time for the next part of the game: After witnessing his former partner Pete Dunleavy die gruesomely, Banks comes face to face with the latest Jigsaw copycat - rookie cop William Schenk, played by Max Minghella, who served as Banks’ most recent partner. ![]()
