I've seen it, Pete, and it got kind of real, too, when they were fighting, too, right?

No, they were beating the shit out of each other. Baldwin was— Gary was deceptively, you know, effective as a boxer. And I think Alec didn't quite know what he was in for. So it started and Alec thought it was going to be kind of fun. And Shanley just started face punching him over and over and over.

Yeah, it got weirdly real and like it was uncomfortable.

Pete, you got to show us this. You shot it? Gary shot it, so we could maybe dig it up. But it was priceless. But I was literally concerned that they were both having heart attacks. And I got them to stop and drink water. And then, you know, it was one of those, it was a deep level of exhaustion. It just wasn't going away. It's just like an icebreaker before an interview.

Pete, I do want to go back there. I want to get back into how you became who you are, which is, as Jason said in the intro, I mean, you're an incredible filmmaker and actor, and you haven't acted as much in the last few years as you used to, but you started as an actor.

And Jason, you probably feel a lot of connection to what Pete does because he was able to kind of go from an actor who was in a lot of stuff and people wanted him to become a director, which I know is a trajectory that you're sort of on.

Pete, talk a little bit about that, like about being an actor who's auditioning for jobs, then an actor who's in demand, and then turning that into, or having the vision, talk about what it was that inspired you to become a director, etc.
