Swedish-born actor Joel Kinnaman is best known for his magnetic performances crossing the film and television spectrums including AMC's The Killing, Warner Bros' Suicide Squad and Netflix series Altered Carbon and House of Cards. His latest film is 'The Informer' and he was in love the script from the get go.

`It was a great script and a very interesting character in a really interesting world. It's fun to play a character that's undercover, living a double life, because in every scene you have a secret; it's built into the concept. And I loved this journey of a man who is trying to fight his way back to be with his family. Life has dealt him a very difficult hand but he's a resourceful man, with a lot of internal strength and a lot of love and connection to his wife and daughter. I thought it was a really exciting journey for me to go on and, hopefully, the audience will feel that too.` says Kinnaman

Not many know this but Kinnaman arrived on set straight from filming his Netflix TV series Altered Carbon and had little time to prepare. `I wrapped my show ten days before I started shooting this. I did the research I could do. I watched a lot of documentaries. But ultimately I connected really quickly when I read the script, and just got into it. I had to brush up on my Brooklyn accent, but I found myself feeling really comfortable with the character very early.`

The Informer releases in India on 3rd January by PVR Pictures.
