I don't get it. Is 90 pages supposed to be a lot of text for a professional actor?
90 pages of backstory? Entirely aside from the actual script containing the dialogue he has to read?
I don't know whether that's a lot—not having conversed with any professional actors—but I strongly suspect the answer is yes.
This is the internet. Simply proclaim you are an actor and confidently answer yes!
Hello, I am Paul Newman, the famous actor.

90 pages of backstop is significant, yes. When I got the role of Theodore in Alvin and the Chipmunks, I was bitterly disappointed by the lack of depth of the character. Almost no backstory was given to me.

On the other hand, my rendition of Dig'em the frog for Smacks was greatly improved by the 400 hundred pages lore of the character. I became the frog.
