Actor Colin Farrell's childhood in Ireland is reflected in the roles he plays, many both physical and melancholic. From super-heroes to high-ranking government officials, he feeds off of characters with enough emotional depth to dissect and play with.

In his new film The Lobster, his character's stillness expresses the recognition of pain and circumstance in the bizarre world he lives in. Today he joins Elvis to discuss the ways in which life itself can be purgatory and shares his thoughts on the Total Recall re-boot.
