Well โ Most of them look like, you know, school teachers. There's like one or two guys that one guy was like kind of built like huge, big guy. The rest of them were like, you know, the guy I know did three tours. He looks like he's totally out of shape. His stomach is way bigger than his chest. He's just kind of do, do, do, do, do. This guy did three tours. This guy's no joke. It's all mental.
It's all such a mental game because you have to be cool in those high intense situations because you're dealing with 155 explosives that will blow this building off the block. And the level of intensity is really interesting. Like they were so comfortable around C4 and all these things.

He's like, I need my back to the wall. I need to know where the exit's at. Right? I'm like, interesting. Because I sit like that kind of as well.

Just do like a Terminator checklist. Right. And that was supported by how these guys thought. And it's that same kind of thing. They just noticed everything. Just data. OK, now I can go be here. I assess the room.

Right. I feel safe. Situational awareness. Yeah, situational awareness. I always had that. But like really doing that role and spending so much time with these crew of amazing people.

Well, no, it wasn't about the amount of time. I think I was maybe to go for maybe a few months. Catherine Bigelow, the director, just sort of introduced me and said, all right, they're ready for you at the base if you want to go. So I kind of went out and just kind of did it all on my own and just waiting for the movie to kind of get up and get greenlit and go.
