The full picture only becomes clear as the story unfolds, keeping viewers intrigued until the end.”

The actor also highlights the personal connection he feels with his character. “For me, it’s all about discipline—there’s no compromise on that. I believe, and my daughter would agree, that I am very disciplined about time, food, and conduct.
