Lakeith Stanfield for L.A. Times 

"I've seen [Get Out] like four times now," Stanfield said. "Literally the third time I saw it, I was walking out shaking. It hit me deep that time." “Get Out” director Peele notes in an email that “Every moment Lakeith is on screen the audience has his back. For the opening scene, I needed the audience to feel like this could happen to any one of us. Lakeith has this woke and wise quality. We trust him to make the right call; the same call we would make.” Still, Logan was outside Stanfield’s usual onscreen persona. “Lakeith, stripped of his cool, is a creepy thing,” Peele said.
