At the event where Game Rant was present, Newbon conveyed that he perceived Chase not as a villainous or unstable character, but primarily as an individual. He stated, “I don’t play the roles of villains or heroes,” then elaborated: “I avoid these specific labels because I believe, if you assign them, you’re already making a judgment about your character, which may limit decisions you might need to make.” Newbon is accustomed to portraying characters that challenge traditional ‘hero’ and ‘villain’ stereotypes—such as Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3—and with Chase Lowry, he seeks a similar depth, playing a man who deeply cares for his friend while fiercely competing against him for a significant film role.
