What are the odds of a kid from Hyannis, Massachusetts being in 150 movies and 1,000 hours of television?

The odds are so against me.

And when I think about it now, I think, wow, I should have probably done something a little bit safer.

But I just didn't know safer.

All I knew was I had a goal.

I had really good work ethic.

And I know God has my back.

What's going to stop me?

And I've just kind of hit the tackling sled for so long that I don't know any better.

It's the only job I've ever really had.

And I love entertaining people.

I love making movies that make people think.

And to do it alongside my wife, Revae, and the amazing Angel Studios, now we have a first look deal with Angel Studios.

It's just kind of, it's hard to put into words how fortunate I am to be where I am right now in my life after going through a lot of stuff, the ups and downs and alcohol and the certain things that happened in my life with jobs that were taken away from me.

Now here I am realizing all those things, all those speed bumps created who exactly I am.

And if it weren't for those speed bumps, if it weren't for those little problems, I wouldn't be here right now on your show talking about all the things that I've got going.

And I realize that, but it takes...

Again, it's the discipline and sitting by yourself at times in a church all by yourself and just talking to him or talking to yourself and thinking, okay, how can I make the world a better place?

As corny as that sounds, while I'm here for the short of my life, say I'm here for 100 years, what can I pound into these 100 years to make the world a better place for him?

Because he has given me so much that my job is just to keep giving back.
