The character had this very dramatic arc, you know, the real Ross Ulbricht had this very dramatic arc.
He went into this, I think kind of naively probably as a dreamer, ‘Hey, I want to change the world.
I want to make my mark, I want to empower people’s individual rights and freedoms.’
And I knew that because he was going to be going to a very dark place over time that it really was important to connect with him as a human being and understand who he was before.
