This was before, and I want to say this, there's a very graceful,
thing in hindsight about his death.
He was alive for the first five days of me shooting days confused.
He didn't come to the set or anything, but he was alive for me to start, his final son to start something that wouldn't be just a fad, that wouldn't just be a hobby, start something that became a career.
I've always seen some grace in that.
But the call that I had with him two years prior to that, while I was headed towards law school at University of Texas,
And it was a Tuesday night.
I planned it.
I said, I'm going to call it Tuesday night at 730 p.m.
It won't be Monday because there's too much stress back in back to work.
It'll be Tuesday end of the day.
He'll be on the couch having a beer with mom.
It'll be a great time to tell him that I want to go to film school instead of law school.
I made that call 736 p.m.
And he answered.
He said, what's up, monkey man?
I said, hey, pop, got something to share with you.
So what's that?
I said, I don't want to go to law school anymore.
I want to go to film school.
