Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sacha Gervasi was the 'struggling journalist'—he really did spend a night with Hervé in 1993, and the actor died by suicide days later.
Dinklage spent years developing this; he and Hervé shared an agent who once told them both they'd never work. The rage is real.
