Ray Fisher Discusses How He Got the Role of Cyborg

Shares

Collider during  their trip to the London set for Justice League, interviewed Ray Fisher, who is playing Victor Stone/Cyborg in the DC Extended Universe and got to know how it was that he managed to land the role despite not really ever acting in front of a camera before.

“I was in a play off Broadway playing Muhammad Ali at the New York Theatre Workshop three years ago now. And around the time, Ang Lee, one of his upcoming projects was a 3D boxing movie about Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier and he came and saw the show at that time. And I hadn’t had an agent or a manager up until that point, but once people caught word of that, they started coming to the show to see who’s this guy that people are coming to look at and from there I signed up and went out to California for a visit and met up with Lord Kennedy and Kristy Carlson from Warner Brothers and they said, “we have something that may be right for you, but we can’t tell you what it is. It’s just in the real of the Batman/Superman universe.” And I was like, “I’m done, I’m done. Sign me up. I’ll play a tree.”
