Shawn Ryan

Thank you.

We were front row watching him do it, you know, in his roles, on his sets, sometimes all over the world.

There'd even be days, and this isn't in the doc, where I'd be with Chris Penn and I'd be messing around with a cap gun or a starter pistol or something and Dad would be watching and he'd be like, you know, doing a light workout just over in the other part of the yard or getting some sun or whatever and

And there was one day when he said, hey, guys, guys, hold on a second, hold on a second.

He says, all right, if you guys are going to do it, let me show you how it's going to look better.

And I got this little cap gun or starter pistol with, you know, blanks.

And he says, all right, Charlie, whenever you want, I'm going to be folding this towel.

You shoot me and I'll show you how a guy would respond, you know, more realistically getting shot.

He's going to be pissed that I shared this, but it's really a cool memory in a moment.

It's not in the doc, it's not in the book, but it's right here.

It's awesome.

And I turned on him and I fired a shot and he took it.

It wasn't like this super crazy five-minute dramatic death.

He just...

buckled and then right on his back and chris and i were just like oh my gosh okay so now we had a template to work from now we had like a real pro who'd been shot on film like a thousand times showing us like this is this is gonna up your game

A lot of parents will sit down with their kids and help them with their homework.

My dad was showing us, like, how to take a bullet.

How to get shot.

It's quite helpful.

Pretty wild.
