He's an operative and he's sent in to sabotage the experiment

which Dr. Erskine is doing on this boy.

I don't think he knows a great deal about it

but he knows that he has to get the serum

and eliminate any possibility that that serum will ever be created

again on American soil.

He's managed to infiltrate the State Department

as an American called Fred Clemson

And he's in the observation lab as the experiment's taking place

It's great to play a bad guy

but I really tried not to see him as a bad guy.

I wanted him to be human and I wanted him to be

the kind of spy that had a moral conscience

So he's not just a tool, he's actually...

he really believes that he's fighting for the Fatherland.

I think it's very easy to say that most people that operated in this period

didn't really know what was going on right at the center

And that's probably true

But I think everyone has to have a real moral compass

and really desire to do the right thing for their own country

And I wanted him to be more like that

than somebody who just believed he was bad
