Here’s an excerpt about Ig
When we began casting, I wanted to find an actor who could portray the dark and romantic side of the fallen angel – in other words, he had to be natural and charming with a pair of horns growing out of his head. The design of the horns almost preceded the casting in a way, and after researching the representation of the devil from Gustave Doré’s engravings in Inferno, Milton’s Paradise Lost to Gérôme and Goya’s 19th century paintings, I knew I wanted them to be organic, and resemble a satyr or a ram. Ig had to appeal to both genders in order to elicit compassion from them. As a result, Daniel Radcliffe became an obvious choice and happened to be a huge fan of the book as well. Ig’s character was an iconic role to play with an extreme emotional arc and it gave Daniel and opportunity to spotlight a side few had seen from him.
