Donna Tartts epic 2013 novelThe Goldfinchis one of the more seminal works of American literature from this decade.
The book runs nearly 800 pages, though, which could present some challenges for adaptation.
So it has a very special place in my past.
Warner Bros. Pictures
I just loved it.
I was interested in playing a character who was as desperate as they come because I can relate.
For fans, though, he hopes they see what went into the adaptation.
You dont need to have read the book to enjoy it, hopefully.
