When he cast me as Loki in Thor, [Kenneth Branagh] was the only person to have enough faith in me that I could deliver something on that level. And after that, he just gave me an opportunity… but that’s not unique to me. He does this all the time. He’s always helping, and encouraging, and making opportunities for younger actors to come through. And that generosity of spirit is really rare and unique and singular to him. He’s one of those people who is always reaching down to give other people a leg up. And there is something very selfless and generous about that.
