He got his start as a producer on the gritty cannibal love story Bones and All, and will play that role again on the Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown.
The actor has been working with a voice coach and will sing some of Dylan’s songs in the film, according to People.
“It’s kind of surprising because going from the Wonka character to Bob Dylan, it’s a completely different character, a completely different voice, everything, and he does it,” vocal coach Eric Vetro told the outlet. ‘He could change on a dime. He is so talented that he is able to switch from one role to another very quickly.’
A release date has not been announced for A Complete Unknown.
