What Tom said about his character
In a statement, the actor talked about his part in the film and said, “Well, Kevin, he’s a fragile warrior, I think. I put him as a ’90s banker who was highly successful. Two years in a row he was the highest selling banker back in London in the square mile. But he got offered a chance to go to New York to extend his career where he got a bit greedy. I think Kevin’s a bit greedy. He thinks of himself as a James Bond, but doesn’t quite meet up with the requirements. So my story for him is that from being at the top of the world of his field, he was brought very quickly to the bottom, and that’s where Kevin was introduced to the Virgil, the building and establishment that he has lived in since then, in an attempt to reclaim his power. But in a nutshell, for Kevin, he’s James Bond who just didn’t quite make the grade for the MI5, in my mind.”
