The Deadwood actor imbues the Continental manager with the right amount of gravitas and wit and that combination is enough to make Winston a reliable presence in the films. That is why is it all the more surprising that the 81-year-old actor signed onto the role as filming was well underway in late 2013.
In an interview with IGN (via Fandomwire), producer Basil Iwanyk revealed that the Lovejoy performer only joined the actioner due to the convenience of its filming location as well as the promise of a holiday for him and his wife.
