Eddie on being cast in The Trial Of The Chicago 7: "It was genuinely

one of those moments when the script arrived that it sort of felt

too good to be true. And I kind of said yes before reading the thing."

"There’s a sort of sadness, I found, when the words are that good.

There was a slight desperation that, when the words are that good,

they can be heaved around. They can be played in a thousand

different ways ...

I found this very unique feeling on “Chicago 7,” going home at

night. “Oh, I don’t get to say those again.” And the weird thing

with jobs, you find that years later, occasionally, walking down

the street, and the odd line from something will have remained.

It tends to be something that gave you joy in the playing of it."
