Yeah. Dude, and I, yeah, the first one I get, walking in the right bar at the right time, meet a guy named Don Phillips. Four in the morning, he's riding with me in a cab to go drop me off at my apartment. He rolls a dupe, says, you ever done any acting? I said, man, been in a Miller Lite commercial for about that long. More of a modeling job. Well, you might be right.
Come to this address in the morning, pick up the script. Go pick it up. That was three lines in days. That worked out for three weeks. The chainsaw, a masker. I was supposed to play a part of a guy that was like a Romeo to Renee Zellweger's Juliet, where I like ride up on a motorcycle at the beginning, pass the school, black leather helmet, look at her, ride off.

And at the end, after she escapes, pick her up. I go in for that. I've already got my U-Haul packed to go west, young man. It's packed. I've moved out. I'm out of that. I'm not renting a place anymore. I'm going to swing by. It's a one-day job. I go by the production house to go see the director.

And while we're sitting there, and I'm going to shoot like two days, he goes, hey, we haven't been able to cast the main killer, Vilmer, the guy with the mechanical leg who can't find his remote. He drives a tow truck. He goes, you know any male actors in town? I gave him a couple names. And I remember I left, I got to my car, and I'll never forget it, my blue truck, old blue.

I opened the door, and as I was stepping from the sidewalk into the cab, I stopped, and I went, I should go read for that. I shut the door, went back in, said, I want to read for it. He goes, okay, we don't have any actions around here. And I went... And the secretary goes, I'll do it. And he goes, well, man, just, you know, I don't know, see if you can scare the hell out of her.

And I went to the kitchen and I grabbed a big exercise like serving spoon. And I came back and welded it like it was some knife and went off and it scared the shit out of her. And she drew tears. And after we were over, she was like, that was great. You really scared me. And he goes, you got the part. So all of a sudden I'm working for a month in Pflugerville.

And I had to go sleep on a buddy's couch and pull out stuff out of my damn U-Haul for the next month. Then drove out west, which I had days confused. The film would come out, and I had that as a bit of an audition. And then I had the stories in there about feeling needy, feeling like I needed to get an agent.

And that same guy, Don Phillips, who I met in the bar that night, is the one who ate my ass out and said, get the hell out of here. This town will eat you up. They smell needy. get out of here, go off with your buds. And me and Cole and Rory hit Europe for over a month riding motorcycles. Came back, I was ready.
