Mustafa plays adult Mike Hanlon, the lone member of the Losers’ Club who remains in Derry, Maine and remembers the wrath of Pennywise 27 years earlier. Hanlon, now the town librarian, has become consumed by Derry’s mythology in order to defeat the looming Pennywise once and for all.’s Chinese restaurant scene, which was the adult cast’s first time filming together, Mustafa’s character had to repeatedly slam a chair into a table as Pennywise was already haunting his old familiar foes.
Actors often say they have to agree with their characters no matter what. Do you agree with the lengths Mike went to in order to get everybody back to Derry, whether it’s lying to them about the mythology or drugging Bill so he’d better understand the life-or-death stakes?That’s not something I would agree with, but I understand the lengths that he went to.
He’s such a gem and such a wealth of knowledge. Between him and James Ransone, I learned so much about music, television, movies and pop culture. The three of us really got along great, and aside from acting, I learned so much about life in general from just hanging out with them. So, yes, to have Bill on set… I don’t want to say “ace in the hole,” but it definitely made things a lot more fun.
I’ll be honest with you: I don’t know why I started down that path, but once I started, I’d say, “Oh, what’s the next one?” and then I’d listen to another one. I just kept going. I don’t know what my thought was; I didn’t know if I was just trying to really get into the world of Stephen King and see where he’s coming from on many of his books. But, I dove in, and I just kept going. At one point, it became a thing with Andy’s assistant, Tim [Visentin], because he was also listening.
The set pieces were so huge and elaborate that it was very easy to get into the mood or tone that Andy was looking for. Man, it was so much fun. I always think it would be cool to be in a Marvel movie and do superhero stuff, but sometimes, they work on green screen, which is still cool because you're still a superhero. But, the cool thing about Andy’s set is they were all actual set pieces. When you’re running from Pennywise, you’re actually running away from him in this huge cavern.
Furthermore, you used to be a professional football player. Were you constantly asked to play “Football Player #1” on this show or that movie?The things that I was going up for were all tongue-in-cheek pitchman things — not even sketch comedy… It was more like a pitchman, just that. So, that was tough. To be pigeonholed as an athlete, I would’ve been like, “Oh, you want me in an action thing? Great!” I would’ve loved to have done that.
