I'll generally write out every scene that's in the film on a couple of pieces of paper, just with a little one-line.

I'm not a big guy. I'm not a menacing guy. I'm not an intimidating guy. I may look that way, but just spend two seconds talking to me, and you know that's not who I am - not as a person, as a character. It's not who I intend to be.
I find I have to respond to a character or a story to choose a job.
