During a recent interview, Alex opened up about how he got the role – and it involves getting extremely close to director Jeremy Saulnier!

“Well, I’ve stalked Jeremy since Blue Ruin,” Alex joked to EW. “I slept in my car outside [his] house for two years.”

Alex continued: “I saw Blue Ruin when it came out and I was just like, ‘Who the f—k is this filmmaker?’ I think he is one of the greatest filmmakers that we have in America today.”

Hold the Dark hits theaters and Netflix on Friday, September 28!
