It all starts with the walk.
Its like a Lego, Hatosy says.
Once the clothes are right, its how he looks out of his eyes.

Then you bring in the emotional attributes that shape Popes DNA.
Thats how you get that monster.
That monster is arguablyAnimal Kingdoms sketchiest character.
Ben Mendelsohns portrayal of Pope was very dark, Hatosy says.
The one thing about Pope is he is the emotional center of the family.
He is also the most fiercely loyal.
And yet, the family that Pope remains so loyal to is the reason he spent time in prison.
So perhaps the unease with which Pope seems to live his life does have justification.
But as far as Baz goes, thats what I latched onto from the get-go as Popes biggest hang-up.
And once Baz is brought in by Smurf, she gives him responsibilities that she doesnt give Pope.
She manages Pope and Pope feels that.
He hates being managed.
Furthermore, Pope has a very specific grudge to hold against Baz.
When combined, you get Pope, an unpreditable character who seems and probably is capable of anything.
