Richard Linklater's latest directorial effort is a comedic take on a man who disguises himself to pretend that he is a professional killer. Hit Man, starring and co-written by Glen Powell, is based on the true story of an undercover agent who moonlights as a hitman and puts the people who hire his services behind bars. Things become a little tricky when the protagonist is summoned to another mission, this time by a beautiful damsel in distress that he quickly falls for.

"You know what I think was really fun about Gary is we get to touch on a lot. You only have so much real estate when you're making a movie. I think the crazy part about Gary is he was just a very zen guy. He was such a kind person. But in addition to being, like, a cat lover and a professor and friends with his ex-wife, he was also a veteran, and he was also a Buddhist. He was just such a fascinating guy.
In an interview with Harpar's Bazaar, the actress spoke more about how her character seeks reinvention after being a victim of domestic violence: Austin Amelio plays Jasper, and Hit Man marks yet another collaboration between him, Powell, and Linklater. The trio previously worked together on Everybody Wants Some!!. Yet, Amelio's breakout role came through much before that, when he played Dwight in The Walking Dead. Despite the character having a recurring presence in the series, he later became one of the leads in the zombie spin-off, Fear the Walking Dead.
