I have from time to time been a double A or triple A personality. I'm not anymore. I'm more lenient on myself.
But really, for the most part - doing a prequel is great because you do have room to kind of free this character and how they got to where they are instead of being a slave to exactly what the previous actor did.
That's great advertising when you can turn Chicago into a city you'd want to spend more than three hours in.
