In this OUT OF ORDER clip, actor Paul Walter Hauser watches scenes from his most unsettling performance and shares his honest reactions. He breaks down what made the role so challenging and how it affected him off-camera.
- Paul Walter Hauser found the autopsy/dissection scenes in Black Bird (playing Larry Hall) more disturbing than any stunt work, requiring six hours of prosthetics daily over a three-day shoot.
- Director Mimi Leder used sitcom reruns between takes to keep the set's mood light during the dark material.
- Hauser prepared by studying real criminal confession footage to nail Hall's flat, monotone delivery.
- After wrapping, he relied on his own therapist (not the on-set counselor) for a 90-minute decompression session involving painting, mentally walking through the set, and playing basketball to "get the gore out."
