Yeah, it was. I had a friend in high school who was the band leader and he was really talented. We're still friends, Chris Roebling. And but I was not a great drummer. I really wasn't great at keeping time. What is that documentary about Ginger Baker? Ginger Baker. Yeah.

Yeah, it was a moment that hit me. I always loved directing since I was a kid. Then I was directing a lot of these movies I was in over the years. Except for Cable Guy, I'd never directed anything that I wasn't in, but I always thought of myself more as a director than an actor really. I felt like that was more where I was. I thought I was better at that.

Definitely not a live performer for my short time on SNL. It was so nerve wracking for me to be. It's still anytime doing something live. It's like, you know, I don't enjoy it. I'm happy when it's over and if it goes well, it's great. But so directing to me was always like a comfort area and just happy. You know, it just made me happy. And so It was really after Zoolander 2 came out.

That was sort of the inflection point where it's like the movie didn't do well. It was not well received. And it was this moment in time where I was like, oh man, what am I going to do? What do I want to do next? And I had some space just to kind of like think about it.

And then this project that I'd been developing kind of right when the movie came out, Escape at Dannemora, this limited series about this prison escape in New York that happened in 2015, I think, that was there. And I had the time to work on it because I wasn't doing other stuff. First of all, Escape at Denim, I love that.

Right. And which is daunting, too, you know, because it's like, all right, how do I do this? But it's also to me, it's like sort of the most subjective thing where you just go, OK, you know, how would how do I see this? How would I want to see this? I think when I just got to the idea of like basically like what would I want to see?
