During an appearance on The Tonight Show, actor Joel Kinnaman said that since he has no dialogue in the film Silent Night, he decided to “use the full method” for the first time. Kinnaman recalled telling his fiancée Kelly Gale: “It’s going to be hard on the couple, but I’m not going to talk for the whole shoot and I’m not going to talk to you either. So we’re not going to have any communication.”
