Earlier, Cooper had told Deadline that his 'Nightmare Alley' role "terrified me, for many reasons." He explained, "But as we started to delve into it -- and we had the real benefit of time and prep to work on this -- the idea of inhabiting somebody who doesn't know who they are, and who's in search of who they are through the whole film, right up until the last scene. I thought, 'Maybe that's where I am in my life as an actor and a human being.'"

He added, "It was important to go there, unflinchingly and boldly, which I was able to do with Guillermo hand-in-hand. It cost something for us emotionally, making this movie. It was very risky to go to these places of, 'Are we this person? Is this a side of ourselves? Is this who we really are?' I found that to be quite vulnerable as an actor. All my characters tend to linger, but this one, I have to say, was an especially hard one."
