Harbour has a method to getting into character.
When it comes to embodying his character, Harbour takes a methodical approach. “For me, I don’t do the Jared Leto stuff with like sending dead pigs to people on set, but I do have a particular brand of method to what I do, which just means I like the experience that I have to be authentic and personal and so that can’t happen unless I sort of carry around a little bit. Atlanta shooting was a very difficult experience because Hop is a lonely sort of sad guy. So, I definitely carried that away. Atlanta is a very easy place to be sad and lonely.”
