“I didn’t know what to expect,” Gerard said about researching his role, in which he plays Sam Childers, a former criminal turned crusader for Sudanese orphans.

“I met this absolutely dominant alpha male who on one hand loves the attention but on the other hand loves the company of his family and friends,” he added. “This is his story and this is his moment to tell it to the world. I had to bow down to that. But there is a darkness in him as well.”
