But you only played in high school.
Where did you grow up?
I mean, you played a year in high school and played a year semi-pro.
Offensive line?
In high school, what size were you?
Uh, so it wasn't the high school football coach going insane, like seeing you come in.
I mean, hearing you come down the hall, like just, just tiles breaking underneath your feet, locker shaking.
So what year in high school did you play?
Ninth grade.
So you never played past that?
No.
So by the time you graduated high school, when you're 18 years old or so, what are your dimensions?
So did you just not have any interest in sports?
So how do we get to the part where your mom writes the casting agent a letter on your behalf?
