“You know, rather than just playing somebody who’s the same… there’s a growth in him because he starts out rather jaded with these kids. [They] really taught him something. He was looking for redemption [and] he didn’t even know it,” Quaid described.

Meanwhile, Gonzales was attracted to the story’s larger age-old theme of not judging a book by its cover as Malloy and Omar learn to work together.
The actor said he’s applied the same lesson to his own life. “Yeah, that’s happened actually quite a few times in my life, you know, and every time I come away from that, those kinds of experiences, I realized my own limitations based on my perceptions or through first impressions when I spend more time with [the person],” he reflected.

Gonzales added, “This is part of the reason I love filmmaking… that you get thrown together with a bunch of different people that you normally wouldn’t and you get to know them on a pretty intimate basis.”
