Los Angeles Oct 29 (IANS) Director Jason Hall says he was impressed by actor Miles Teller while working on "Thank You For Your Service".
"I have followed his career and I ve watched this kid with incredible charisma but also you could tell he had a craft and he had a skill set that he brought to it. I was so impressed with Miles " hollywoodreporter.com quoted Hall as saying.
"We asked him in a way to do stuff that he d not done before. He gives a very subtle performance here and he gives a really grown up performance too " he added.
In the film Teller will be seen as Adam Schumann.
Talking about his role Hall said: "This requires him to have a war going on behind his eyes at all times. He brought some real detail to the job and I took him out and we went hunting with Adam Schumann the real guy. He got to know him and it was a fantastic experience for him to connect with this guy.
"Miles is from Florida. It s not like Miles came from Palos Verdes. Miles came from a part of Florida where all of his friends are either soldiers or they work some blue-collar job. He would either be a soldier if he was lucky he d be playing on some minor league baseball team or he d be putting up dry wall."
