To find out more, Brian Norris answered some FanPop questions:

Tell us about your role as Twist in “Perry Mason.”

Brian Norris: I play Twist, the gun dealer at the Hooverville who Paul 鸭, 德雷克 discovers rented the murder weapon to the Gallardo brothers. He definitely seems like a shady character. But back in a place like that, 你 had to watch out for yourself because no one else was gonna do it.

What would 你 consider your characters ‘best’ quality? And their ‘worst’?

BN: Twist’s best quality is being resourceful. I mean, just getting all of those 枪 and bullets while being that poor takes a pretty enterprising fella. Not to mention managing the inventory and the desperate clientele. And his worst quality is that he’s angry. The world hasn’t been kind to him 或者 给 him a reason to be trust anyone. But that can make 你 pretty rough to the rest of the world.

How was it to work alongside this stellar cast?

BN: It was incredible. When 你 work with actors like Chris Chalk and a director like Jessica Lowery, you’re getting to dig into the material with the best folks in the business. Every part is electric, from the first reads and discussions in rehearsal to the last take on set. Everyone knows their part so well, so when we break down a moment 或者 try to pull off sometime during a take, 你 can fully trust your creative instincts.

Any interesting stories from the set 你 can share with us?

BN: I remember 展示 up my first 日 and seeing the Hooverville and my jaw was on the floor! They built this whole town. Every building was so detailed and lived in. There were an unimaginable number of extras - adults, kids, animals. I couldn’t believe it! What a dream to play in such a fully realized sand box. When I got into Twist’s shanty I instantly made myself at home. When I found the trap door in the floor where the suitcase full of 枪 was going to hide, I got chills.

What’s the biggest lesson 你 learned from working on this project?

BN: I’ve been watching HBO and film noir for my whole life, always loving them and dreaming about being a part of them. So I guess the most important thing I learned is that dreams can absolutely come true. That, and it turns out I’m not a bad quick draw.

And, now just for fun:

Who’s your 最喜爱的 actor/actress?

BN: I just rewatched Banshees of Inisherin and that whole cast blows my mind. This last time I was so taken with Barry Keoghan’s work.

What role from the past do 你 wish 你 could have played?

BN: There’s an early Ryan Johnson movie called “Brick.” It was a modern take on film noir, funnily enough. The lead role was played 由 Joseph Gordon Levitt and I was always so jealous of that one. He’s incredible in it 由 the way.

Favorite movie 或者 TV 显示 from your childhood.

BN: Growing up, my 最喜爱的 电影院 were Anchorman and American Beauty. 你 could saw I was conflicted in my aesthetic.
