And when I think back, I go, wow, that took a fairly sizable set of balls. I said, no, I knew I wanted to do the Mr. Mom, but then there were a couple others that I thought, I don't know, like all three of you, I'm sure, I would think, you say, but I really have a pretty big imagination and I'm curious about a lot of things and I'd like to play other things. I'd like to explore other things.

I'd like to see, and if it doesn't work, then I know at least I have this for a few years. I can maybe grind out five, six, eight years of me being that guy. And I thought, but I think what will happen is... people are gonna get very bored very quickly with this kind of guy they saw in Night Shift, et cetera.

And so I said, well, then let me lay down something early and see if that works, because that will potentially open up a wider range for me. And I don't know if this is gonna do it, but that was the only conscious thing. The other is you just trust your gut. And so I made certain decisions early on. I was told don't do Clean and Sober, don't do Pacific Heights, don't do a lot of things.

And I said, yeah, but I want to do those things and I want to lay it down. So I passed up certain movies that turned out to be great movies and I don't want to talk about them, but they turned out to be great things. And I probably, in retrospect, one or two of those probably should have, but I was fearful that...

Look, I always feel like, and this is my own, so I need to talk to somebody about this, because I always feel, man, if I'm in two movies a year, people are going to go, enough already. We are so frigging sick of you. We just, like, enough. And so I had that, and that's not a healthy thing. But I just wanted to lay down a principle.

Yeah, exactly. And meanwhile, that's right. And at the time, that's not what happened. As you guys know, it didn't happen that way. Tim sought me out because he sought me. He said, I'd like to talk to that guy. And so, yeah, that, you know, and I will also credit Elvis Mitchell, whom I'm actually going to speak with later. And Elvis ended up working for me and my partner, Harry.

for a couple of years because we read this guy. We thought he was, we just dug what he was about and liked him. And he worked for us for a minute. And I credit Elvis. I don't think there was, I don't know what the award was. It was either New York. I don't know what it was, New York Film Critics or Film Critics Award. There was something, they didn't have an event.
