And that's filmed not too far from where you live.

Is that Simi Valley or Santa Clara?

Back there in Northridge, Porter Ranch, that sort of area.

So my father picks me up at school when I'm 13 and says, we're going to go meet somebody today named Steven Spielberg.

And I didn't know who the hell that was.

And he says, you have to know how to smoke a cigarette.

And he hands me a pack of Marlboros and some matches and says, figure this out on the way to the audition.

So I walk in and there's like five guys.

They all look like John Stamos with perfectly feathered hair and bright blue eyes.

And I said, Dad, you know, let's get out of here.

I'm not going to get this part.

So one by one, they all go in, and finally it's my turn.

And I walk in, and there's Spielberg and Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy and the casting people in suits.

And I'm sitting in a chair, and he starts asking me some questions, and he's looking at my sort of mocked-up resume.

Wow.

And I was in E.T.

Did you have any idea the scope, scale?
