Talking about his character, Hugh Grant said, "He's motivated by money. Greg Simmonds loves money! But he's also one of those billionaires who has come to regard himself as a good man, even though he sells arms all over the world. He even has a charity for war orphans, in a delicious irony."

He further mentioned, "Greg thinks he has values, and he loves life, people, and his team. I think it's important to enjoy the character you're playing, and I quite enjoyed being Greg. Almost every actor prefers being a bad guy. They're more fun, and more delicious."
