Ben Stiller

Right. Wow. Wow. And what made you want to come to America and be an actor?

Yeah. It's interesting because I grew up in the business. So I saw it, but I still didn't realize it. You know, all the things that you have to deal with. As you know, Deacon, there's a lot of going out there, putting yourself out there and not getting the job. And you have to kind of just keep going and believe in yourself.

Yeah. You're so great in the show, Deachin. Unbelievable. Yeah. And obviously this episode is just an incredibly special episode. And I remember we talked to Britt about her audition for the show. And similar to you, she sent in a self-tape, which is, you know, at home you just make a tape yourself of the scene and you send it in.

And you sent in just a really incredibly well done self tape of Miss Casey. Can you tell me a little bit about how you put that together? And I remember watching it and just it was stunning. You just seemed so otherworldly and it was so well produced and the lighting was amazing. And how did you do that?

Yeah, I mean, it was obviously very early on. And I mean, that concept... At that time, we knew where it was going, but it was still, you know, a concept. We hadn't written all the scenes. This was like very early on.

But watching you read Miss Casey, I was just like, I felt like there was, I can't even, honestly, and this is no insult to other people who read for that role, but it's hard for me to remember other people who read for the role. Because when I saw what you were doing, it's like, okay, that's the person for this role.
