Very similar sensibilities amongst the team. But I think that is really helpful. The fact that I, whether it even be like, I love doing college tours and public speaking at colleges. I was in North Carolina last week. I was in Boston the week prior. And I think having those things are very anchoring because it feels like I'm not sitting here literally waiting for the call.

Because there is a real pressure to it. Auditioning, I think what's funny is that it is... so not personal and so personal at the same time because it's extremely subjective. And there's nothing you did right or wrong most of the times because they're putting so many puzzle pieces together. It could be your height. It could be like, oh, they have a new vision for the character.

And so I think those feelings of doubt and those feelings of, okay, what's next will always be there. But I feel like having a very well-rounded world has allowed me to enjoy the challenge of that and has allowed me to then, even as an actor, prioritize. Working on television is a very different thing because it's a job. You're working for eight months. You're doing 20 episodes.

You're doing 18 episodes, 13 episodes. The edits of the lines are happening day of. You're getting your script and getting rewrites as you're heading –

to set and it teaches you kind of how to be a professional actor but it doesn't necessarily if you don't prioritize it teach you process and what what do you enjoy as an actor because I'm like yeah my skill set is learning lines incredibly fast it's how do I get this end result I mean I come from

You know, my bubba's a director DP, so I'm thinking that steadicam is super heavy, the little rig that they have to wear. I need to get my lines out as fast as possible because I'm thinking about everybody else on set.

And so I think it's actually been really exciting to be kind of in this kind of theatrical, more film-centered part of my life where it's really been about what is my process as an actor? Because I was approaching the other sets as a producer, and I know how behind we are. I know what we're supposed to be shooting.

I know our schedules. Yeah.

I know our schedules. Yeah.

So I wasn't necessarily giving myself the space to play. I'm happy with what we did. I'm happy with the set environment, but I think the space to play is kind of what I've been given now. Even just in auditions of being like, oh, my task is how do I do something I typically wouldn't have.

I had an audition yesterday morning that I was taping and it was just really, what was most fulfilling was that feeling of, oh, I'm really happy I did this process because that was something new for me and I wouldn't have done that typically. And so that felt like the win in that.
