Behind the Scenes

Adrian Griffin was portrayed in The Invisible Man by Oliver Jackson-Cohen.[1] On playing Adrian Griffin, Jackson-Cohen remarked, "We've seen the villain so many times, so I think as an actor, you always want to try and think of the most interesting way. To me, it was a sort of a no-brainer when I read [the script] that I wanted to — these people who are narcissists and are so controlling in relationships, they are incredibly intelligent — make Adrian so good at performing, and pretending to be so charismatic and to fool people into a false sense of security. That's the direction we've gone with him, which I personally think is the right way to do it. It's been really good fun because we kind of want to mess with an audience as well, and mess with them going, 'Wait, but he's not... he didn't seem to be a bad guy. He seemed nice.' But then he does these horrific things."[3]

Before Jackson-Cohen was cast, Universal's top choices for the role of Adrian Griffin were Armie Hammer and Alexander Skarsgård.[4]
