He told RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview: "I love that the story is so powerful, so much of our time, like nothing I've ever read or seen before. So that definitely is a plus. And I love my role. My role, Rob, was great. This guy, he’s like a regular dude, like, nice and likeable."
Leguizamo added: "I love my scenes with Toni, they were my favourite scenes. And the love that we had and the fight, and it was so real. It was like, it's like a page out of my marriage. It was incredible. I was like, 'Wow, this is so fascinating.'
"Because I never had a chance to play, sort of like, what I really live, you know, it's always kind of slightly fictional. But this felt incredibly real, even though it's a sci-fi piece. This relationship was so granularly real and the intellectual emotional intelligence was amazing."
