Oh, he's a terrific actor, man. He's great. And that's really what you kind of like, no matter what you do, a big part of it is, 90% of it is, as they say, is like picking the right actors. Because there's really nothing you can do. You're kind of like, okay, now go ahead. And you can get about 10% calibration, but the right people for the right role is so much a part of what goes into directing.
