Being in a big franchise, it’s kind of like luxury jail sometimes for an actor when you want to do something else.

And in wanting to be in something where I knew that I’d play a different type of role, a different type of man, and then knowing Steve through, we’re all a part of the same industry so I’d heard about Steve’s directing style, I was really really curious and excited to have the opportunity anyway to be a part of it.
