This man is so kind, well spoken, articulate, and intelligent, one can’t help but fall for him. I know he doesn’t like the attention but his incredible standout performance as Riff truly deserves all the acclaim and accolades! I’d love to sit down and talk with him.

He does seems nice and kind but you should never fall for the 'actor who doesn't like attention' act lol. All of them love attention and it's the most self-obsessed that take it to the next level of trying to appear that they're totally above all of that.

@@samsong24 I've heard him say it's a self preservation thing to not deep dive into what the critics think, good or bad. I'm sure he doesn't mind if good reviews filter back to him, but I feel like I know where he's coming from with the not going too deep into what everyone is saying.

@@neonnights3955 You have fallen for his act lol. He is desperate for approval. All actors are!!! They are narcissists. That's not to say that they can't be conflicted by that. I feel that Jessica Lange has grappled with that her entire career.

Mike Faist's idea of Riff putting his head to the gun was absolutely genius. Like Mike said, Riff's nihilism is perfectly stated in that scene. Thank you Mike Faist

I've watched so many WSS cast/Spielberg interviews since seeing the film. Christopher is the only person who asked the question I would have asked Mike about his mind-blowing portrayal about Riff in the way he did: The impact of Riff's refusal to change - not only to accept that Tony's wanted a better life and that meant not returning to the Jets which led to Mike's comparison of family members at Thanksgiving who love you but selfishly do. Then there was the reality that the "turf" the Jets were fighting over was gone already, all of the conflict at the end of the day with the Sharks over turf was a big waste. Thank you.

Nihilism. What an intelligent actor and insightful choice. This kid gave the character of Riff so much substance. I look forward to watching his career take off. And his two (equally talented) friends were right. I can't imagine anyone else making that character as interesting as he did.
