==Background==
O'Brien has stated that he enjoyed playing Caius and it is his favorite role he has played in the series. He liked that the character required a very resolute and consistent performance. However, he has also described the role as "labyrinthine" as he received frequent script changes and was unsure when particular events happened in the story.
He described his role as Red XIII as "bittersweet" as while the character only has one line in Advent Children, it was still exciting to be a part of the Final Fantasy VII universe.http://www.finalfantasyunion.com/interviews/8/liam-obrien/
