I know what I'm doing.
I got the part in the audition from Encino Man, large part, I think, because I was wrestling with plants and painting the walls with ketchup.

The opportunity to play the kid in school ties spoke to me a great deal.
Like I said, because I did go to a boys' private school, I do know what happens to young men in that environment when they wear blazers and ties but are handed a copy of Lord of the Flies when they arrive there.
As an ad hoc survival guide.
That's the truth.
That's the truth.
So I wanted to be a part of the film.
