“What is interesting about General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna is that he’s a true history character, which I didn’t know obviously because I’m not very familiar with the world of Texas,” Olivier recently expressed about his character. “But I discovered through history books that he was a very fascinating character. Larger than life, charismatic, brave, irrational. I love to play these parts, I love to play characters with a lot of contradictions. He’s good, he’s bad, he’s everything.”
