He's known all over the world.
People know what he looks like, sounds like, and the like.
And I didn't want to do an impression, impersonation, like Saturday Night Live.
Because when I play a real person, I want to play it from their point of view.
And sometimes that means warts and all, you know, not just like what you did, but what are your insecurities?
What do you really care about?
How did you feel when you got jilted or whatever that make us up who we are in the end?
And it took me a long time to say yes, but I went to โ I got invited to the Reagan Ranch, which was the Western White House back then.
And when Reagan died, some friends bought it and left it exactly as it is.
He and Nancy's clothes are in the closet.
You expect them to come back.
They didn't change a thing.
And the only guy that was up there was John Bartlett, who was Reagan's Secret Service guy he rode with, rode horses with every day.
So I go up five miles of the worst road in California and get to the top of the mountain, come through the gate, and I could feel him.
I could just feel him in every square inch of that place.
And I could feel he was a humble guy.
His library, with every book, is that a big bookcase?
With every book going back to like nine years old, the printer of Udell is there.
