The character of Hank could easily have been portrayed as a caricature. However @mullen_mitchell found the nuance in him that shines through in a fully fleshed performance. @sarahaghaonline spoke with Mitch about the process of embodying such a harsh and uncompromising character. Whilst we as an audience don't agree with his actions, can we allow ourselves the capacity to at least try and understand what might have led him to take them?

He's the antagonist of the film and @mullen_mitchell is getting great reviews for his portrayal of Hank Henson.
"Mullen's Hank embodies institutional cruelty, his dismissiveness and racial insensitivity wrapped in the entitled demeanor of a petty authority figure" - @hollywoodscoutreport
"The conflict is embodied in Officer Hank Henson (Mitchell Mullen), a more brutish mirror of Stanley Tucci's Frank Dixon" - @indieshortsmag
"We talk about characters we love to hate, and suffice it to say, Mullen completely embodies this through his turn as Hank" - @onefilmfan
"Ethan's internal conflict escalates as he confronts his uncompromising boss, played with formidable intensity by Mitchell Mullen. A must-watch for its flawless performances, especially from Tabatabai and Mullen" - @take2indiereview

The tour de force that is @mullen_mitchell plays Hank Henson in Hamdardi. Hear what he has to say about coming on to the project and what drew him to Hamdardi.
