"I don't come from a family who were massive theater fans or film or music fans,"

he told Geist. For some reason, the actor said he had "an instinct" for the craft.

"I loved music and singing and acting at school," he said. "To my parents' credit,

which now as a parent myself I really do hold high, anything I had an interest in

or my brothers had an interest in, they supported."

'For his current role in "The Good Nurse," he got inside the head of real-life serial killer

Charles Cullen, a nurse who investigators estimate was responsible for the deaths

of around 400 of his patients over the course of 16 years in hospitals across New Jersey

and Pennsylvania. His crimes were discovered by a fellow nurse, played by Chastain.

Redmayne said that he didn't try method acting in the role, mainly for the sake of his

family. "I have a six-year-old and a four-year-old and for the sake of my wife's sanity,

staying in Charlie Cullen would not have been enjoyable for anyone," he laughed.'
