And it was tough because I never felt like I found my rhythm with one person, you know.

And that's so important.

Like, I think finding a rhythm is like a...

it's like fundamental to, I think, to achieving greatness, you know?

So it's phenomenal to have, to have found an actor who's so, who's so talented, you know, gifted, ambitious, you know, because Mike is constantly trying to push himself and get better at his craft.

He's professional.

He's also like a good person, you know, like, like he's like, when you're doing a movie with him,

If he's number one on your call sheet, you know that you're going to have a safe set for people.

He's going to be able to do great work without making people's lives miserable.

He's going to treat people with kindness.

He got nothing to prove.

So he learns the PA's name.

He learns the camera operator's name.

The same way he'll know the producer's names.

And that is something that I think permeates the set at a foundational level.

I've been very blessed in that.

I try to.

But it's great to have Mike there to amplify it.

Yeah.

You know, because that's who he is.
