There's a good interview on GQ's website with Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams about the show: [link]
The part that absolutely cracked me up about Storrie (bold text mine):
Nothing in Hollywood is ever a sure thing—not even a sequel to a movie that earned 11 Oscar nominations. After Folie à Deux’s release, a short write-up on Storrie appeared in Variety. But then, well, nothing. In no particular order, he shot a low-budget thriller in Romania, moved in with his older sister in Los Angeles, came to idolize David Lynch, and took classes with The Groundlings before falling in with the experimental clown scene on the east side of Los Angeles.
Just how close did we come to having a method acting-driven Joker in real life before hockey slash saved the day?
