\n\tKey Quotes: \u201cWhy did I cast Rosalind? First of all, she\u2019s the best actress that came in, point blank. I know art\u2019s subjective, but it wasn\u2019t even a subjective choice. She was just better than everybody else that came in. She had an understanding of the material. She wasn\u2019t into herself, so every question was about the character, which I found helpful for me, becomes now we\u2019re partners. And she looks the part, she\u2019s beautiful, she\u2019s talented.\u201d \u2013 Chris Rock<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cDid I have any doubts about playing Misty, being a British actress? Yeah, of course. I mean, I would be lying if I said I didn\u2019t, but I think the point of an actor is that you\u2019re able to play different people. That\u2019s the definition of being an actor, someone that has a different context to you, that has had a different upbringing to you. But this character\u2026 I don\u2019t know, I sometimes find it hard to articulate exactly what it is, but I wanted to express something with Misty. Chris has written a part for a woman that is fearlessly written \u2014 she\u2019s a complicated, contradictory, self-destructive woman \u2014 and it was going to be a massive challenge. That\u2019s what excited me.\u201d \u2013 Rosalind Eleazar<\/p>\n
