When asked if he ever just wanted to give Rob's character Rey a hug, Guy laughed, "I certainly did."

Rob was amused by the revelation, saying, "It's funny, everyone is sort of talking about it being a heartbreaking character, I mean I was not trying to play it in any way sympathetic at all."

Expanding on his character, Rey, Rob continued, "He doesn't comprehend what's happening to him... every three seconds he's like a gold fish, it's like he's completely forgotten what's just happened to him."
