To create a believable sense of tension between Butterfield's Ender and Ford's Colonel Graff, it was important to strike the right balance on set. "The relationship between [Harrison] and Asa was very close," Hood said, "but he didn't overly befriend him off the set. He helped Asa by allowing that slight sense of intimidation to be there."
