So forgive me for choosing the former. And I'm not even saying it jokingly. I'm like super fucking pissed. And then he starts to lecture me about the fact that I don't have the discipline in craft to take this job. Oh my God. And I look at him and I say, I'll do respect. You can tell me I'm not right for the role. You can tell me that I am not your favorite actor.
You can fucking tell me I'm not funny. For you to sit there and tell me and judge my discipline after I literally spent four years in conservatory, spent every last penny that I had to learn my craft. to study my craft, to stick with my craft through thick and thin. That is not something you get to take away from me. And I said, good luck with your show. I appreciate this.

I'm coming home. And I get a call from my then agent, Hannah Roth. And she says, hey. And I said, hey, I'm not really in the mood to talk right now. And she goes, well, you have two tickets to go see Spelling Bee tonight. And I said, why the fuck? Would I want to go see that show? And at this point, I had never seen the show. I didn't have enough money to get a ticket to see the show.

I was just approximating what I thought it should be. And I said, why the fuck would I want to go see that? And she goes, well, the director feels that you should probably see it before you start rehearsals in two weeks.

I think that was a big part of it. When we sat down and we discussed it and we had it out and he was so gracious and has since apologized to me for what that experience was. He said I needed to get my ass kicked. I agree with that. I don't think the psychological warfare was necessary, but I agree with it.

But I would come back and I would smoke every night a full bong of like hashish because I was so fucking scared. I was just fucked. I was always in a state of fear, panic, and it just didn't get better. I couldn't wait to leave. And the cast... was awesome, but also they missed Dan. Yeah, that's a hard position. It sucks being a replacement sometimes. I'm not sure if that's everyone's experience.
