Speaking about the parallel careers he enjoys in high-budget franchise movies as well as small-budget indie films, Wright told "Closer Weekly" that he is more interested in the story rather than financial returns.

"No, if I read a script that’s compelling, I’m not concerned about what the budget is… "

EARLY LESSONS

Previously, during an interview, Wright also detailed some crucial life lessons that have stayed with him since his high school days at Amherst.

As an athlete, who played football and lacrosse, Wright learned the important skills related to teamwork and collaboration, which remain equally crucial in his line of work today.

Wright has so far appeared in four movies from the "James Bond" franchise, alongside the lead actor, Daniel Craig. These movies have propelled his stardom to another level.

Meanwhile in the series "Westworld," he impressively plays two roles: one of the human, Arnold, and the other of his synthetic doppelganger, Bernard.
