it was like very rushed. Yeah, yeah, because it was
a very last minute. Add on that they gave me
Caesar to play Caesar because I had an audition earlier
for another row. I booked it, we shot it, I
got cut out for a different role, and then months

(01:12):
later they called me. I was in Vegas at the
time and my agent calls me. He goes, hey, they
need you at Warner Brothers tomorrow for a fitting. I'm like,
what what are you talking about? He goes, yeah, they're
they're giving you this part Caesar stuff like that.

worked here. So I was like okay. And then they
called the Warner Brothers and they called me back. They said,
don't worry about the fitting. They have your sizes from
a couple of months ago that you were there. Just
make sure you're back tomorrow. You're shooting the next day. Wow,
like two days later.

called my agent when I got caught. He didn't tell
me anything. I watched the episode.

the time? If it was there, Like, did you have
a lot of downtime when you were like, oh oh.

hadn't even shoot till night. Oh my god, because I
just sometimes I would just say a line or two
and I'm waiting all day, all day, and they're like, Okay,
I'm like I'm thinking maybe I'm not gonna work today,
you know, And then ten thirty at night.
