đŸ€‘ Glen Powell on How to Make a Killing's Secret to Wall Street Success

Exclusive: Glen Powell and the cast of How to Make a Killing discuss their new dark comedy that turns murder into a “going into business” romp.

If you really want to know the true motivation behind a character or project, it’s not always enough to ask the screenwriter, director, or producer. The actor brings plenty of nuance to their performance that’s built onto the backstory and personality written for them. Just ask Glen Powell of How to Make a Killing or Bella Shepard of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Their interviews below provide valuable insight into how they interpret their characters from page to screen.

We also get to the bottom of Colossal Biosciences CEO Ben Lamm’s motivation for his company’s many de-extinction projects and why the woolly mammoth in particular is very important to him and his team as a creature to bring back into existence. It might not be on the same level as an actor’s motivation for their character, but it’s for inside intel like this that you can count on Den of Geek to provide in our exclusive interviews.
