Through a conversation with Bruce Springsteen about the musician's panic attacks, White found a connection and 'tether' to explore while portraying him in 'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.'

Jeremy Allen White revealed to E! News how the life Bruce Springsteen built with wife Patti Scialfa helped shape his role in the biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.

Then, without saying a word, White’s face crumples. The mask slip away, and he begins to cry in earnest. All it took was the gentlest of prods from a therapist for all the repressed fear, anger, and despair to come up to the surface. White plays exactly right, with just enough emotion to break your heart, but not so much that it feels cheesy.
