So now here is a piece of proof because I did it out of the love of the game.

The reward was, here's an example of what I can do as a dramatic actor.

And so it becomes a useful sales tool.

And it was just from wanting to do something different that came.

fantastical they're shooting guns all over the place but every bullet misses him right and it's like sometimes i wish that they would just put one foot in reality so i like the idea that this is surrounding an actual event there was some of it and you got to remember too what you're going in for like you got to keep yourself in the right gear like you you want that grounded stuff you got to look for that and then you got to remember sometimes stuff is just popcorn absolutely good pop absolutely that that stuff's good popcorn stuff i'm still

Yeah, I think 700 people lost their lives in that fire.

Wow.

Yeah, and they could never figure out how it started.

All the fire inspectors and stuff, they could never figure out how that fire started.

A lot of people thought that, at least the stuff I read, a lot of people thought it was like, oh, they're testing the fire alarm.

And then it was scary.

So you hear an alarm, go anyway.

No, the guy who directed the film, Richard Zelnicker, is a gentleman I've known for a long time.

And he said, listen, man, I got this idea for this movie, and we have just enough to make the movie, but we're barely going to be able to pay anybody.

Would you read the script?

And if it's something you're interested in, would you let me know?

So I read it.

And I thought, I can play this guy.

And like I said, sometimes you have to bet on yourself for no money to end up making money later to show that you can do another thing.

So like I said, my whole motivation going in there was, let me show the industry that I'm able to do this kind of acting.
