“What was amazing was that [Searchlight Pictures’ David Greenbaum] and Jessica rearranged the schedule last-minute — put filming on hold [in North Carolina] for a few days so that I could go back [to England] and be with my mom for 10 days,” Andrew said during a conversation with People.

He said that their costar Vincent D’Onofrio also spoke to him.

“Because he had his own experience with a loss that he wasn’t able to make it back for, he said, ‘Go. You got to go.’ And I was like, ‘Well, I know I’ve got to go and thank you,’” Andrew recalled.

Andrew reflected on losing his mom in a recent interview.

The actor also went viral for discussing his mother’s passing with Elmo during an appearance on Sesame Street. You can watch the touching clip below.
