FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THE STORY OF ANNA DELVEY

His first reaction to Anna Delvey’
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/inventing-anna/]s story is that she is “a
scammer.” Every news headline, social media, whatever he was using, every
article is with the same news, “the German fake heiress, SoHo grifter.” He
claims, “Not until I read this script did I read the Jessica Pressler article
and realize this is a massive story with massively unique individuals at the
helm.”


HOW DID MOAYED PREPARE TO PLAY TODD IN INVENTING ANNA?

Before the shooting started, Moayed spend 12 days on grand jury duty, just to
understand how society works legally. He has done a non-profit theater recently,
titled The Courtroom, whose scripts help him lot how a lawyer think and legal
mind works. Todd Spodek came to their shooting when he was shooting with Rachel.
Moayed explains
[https://netflixqueue.com/arian-moayed-answers-queues-qs-about-inventing-anna],
“I didn’t really have time to meet Todd until, which is crazy, the day that I
was interrogating Rachel Williams. He sat in the pew when I was grilling Rachel.
I said, “How does this feel?” He goes, “It’s eerily exactly the same,” which
made me feel really happy.”
