I was inspired by Colin Farrell in the fact that he's Irish and has freckles but with black hair. I'm a bunch of different things, Irish, Polish, Native American, and French, but I wanted to tap into that Irish side and be freckle-y with black hair, so that's what I did.
I think what's fascinating is how many people are playing in politics who maybe haven't played before.
As an actor, you want as much variety as you can muster up. Otherwise you just keep playing the same chord over and over again.
