“When I get out from the hospital, I miss Roy very much. My mother told me that he plays in pictures and he does things that the other actors cannot do, like falling and hitting and when they climb on something, when they… I didn’t believe my mother, but then I saw him.”

The Fall Behind the Scenes: Lee’s Method Acting
Lee Pace spent the two months it took to film The Fall’s hospital scenes a wheelchair. Only a select few of the crew knew that he could actually walk.
“It was hard (…) but it was about getting that performance out of Catinca, and making her feel comfortable with me, and putting the mood on set that she would be sensitive to. I do think it was valuable, because it caught a level of realism in those scenes with Catinca, a privacy and sensitivity that I don’t know we would have gotten without doing it.”
