He's from San Diego.
He's a solar panel contractor or something like that.

So it was perfect.
I mean, it was really, there were moments where Ronald...
There were scripted moments that he seemed to be ahead of us on, that he kind of led us to.
There's a moment in that opening sequence where we're in the waiting room where Noah, there's an actor named Mecky.

Right.
