I want a series right now called box which is with Kelsey Grammer and it found -- on stars and the role -- play in that film is and not series is fairy.
Intense down on -- so.
I think this this role for me came off of that I I think that director John Stockwell has seen my work -- not.
And -- and they approached me about playing this role based on not character I believe from.
So yeah I mean when you play when you play.
A character like this you clearly have to do your research you.
He clearly you know you have to really know kind of dot worlds and need to know -- -- -- talking about our -- It it's it's immediately you know kind of evidence and -- there was quite a bit fact checking this right you had held -- -- -- you know exit -- where their ex seals ex CIA who actually.

As a what was sound like getting being around.
You know an all male cast and and knowing the important role that -- CIA agent plays.
Well.
You know it's interesting I am I because all of my scenes in the film take place within the CIA I sort of had to.
I didn't have to do any of the intense grind it's the power -- the intense sort of physical work that the guys to at least planning insisted I take a lot of like drinking coffee -- okay.
Could -- up.
Squinting and -- you know -- yeah AI but you know but the guys that the seals and and they really they really of course one of them to.
