"Bridge of Spies" star Austin Stowell actually locked himself in a prison cell to help him get into character as Francis Gary Powers, an American CIA pilot whose plane was infamously shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960. "I actually had asked if they would leave me in there for the shooting day," the actor said during a video interview with TheWrap's Greg Gilman. Stowell said he spent the entire two days of filming locked in the cell, which helped him connect to the character's experience. "We shot that in a real Stasi prison. They put me in there, they locked the door. I can't hear anything outside - it was pretty easy to get into character," he said.
