“You know, there were too many men on that film. You miss the fact that the normal population is made up of half women,” he said.
“For trappers at that time were basically exclusively men – that’s just the way it was.”
“So, in the cast hotel it was just a bunch of guys,” he told Empire Online.

The Dublin native was relieved when he ran into How I Met Your Mother star Cristin Miloti in the hotel.
“She was shooting season two of Fargo at the time. She was like this beacon of light and femininity.”
“I was just so happy to be in the presence of a female in the hotel.”
“Once we were on set, of course, there were plenty of crew who were female, but the cast was very much male.”
