And the pressure to get it right was there every day, including the trial on set every day reminded me that if I didn't get it right, he was going to kill me. So that every day I would, by the end, at first I was really scared. And then sort of halfway through, I would see Marcus in the morning. I'd be like, I know.

He'd be like, nope, that's it. I'd be like, got it. And then I'd go about it. And then he had Morgan lurking as backup. For me, Marcus was a scary one, but Morgan was a really scary one who really didn't have to say much. Have you met Morgan? Do you know him at all? I've never met him. He's such a great guy in Washington now, doing really well. I just spoke to him last week.
