We didn't quite realize the power of the Brotherhood, of the SEAL community, of your community. You know, at first, maybe certainly some of the actors didn't, but very quickly everyone did. And that movie had a special gear that is very hard to find.
And I think if you ask Mark Wahlberg or Taylor Kitsch or Ben Foster, anyone that was involved in that film, we see each other, you know, text each other, and like, no, no, that was it. That was one that would be hard to... to replicate and a feeling that's very hard to get.

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.
