@cinemaoccupy: Viggo Mortensen has one simple question he asks about every character: what happened before page one? In this DP/30 interview about Captain Fantastic he explains that it means asking where the character was born, from his first heartbeat until page one of the script. You could spend the rest of your life answering it, he says, and most of it never shows in the movie. It still leaves him more relaxed and prepared for whatever the director or other actors throw at him.
