To get into character, Taron wore a sleet grey suit with a white shirt, while he offset the look with a colourful tie.
He wrapped up against the winter chill in a dark grey longline coat, and he stepped out in brown ankle boots.
Taron sported a moustache for the role, while his chocolate brown locks were slicked back away from her face.
Seemingly in a rush in the scene, Taron was seen running to the edge of the curb and holding his hand out to hail a cab, before running to the passenger’s side.

In December, it was reported that the movie remains partially un-cast, with the roles of real-life businessmen Robert and Kevin Maxwell and the game’s Russian creator yet to be filled.
It came after Netflix cancelled one of Taron’s other projects, fantasy series The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance, after a single season.
The series served as a prequel to Jim Henson’s 1982 fantasy film The Dark Crystal, which has become a cult classic among fantasy fans in recent years.
