Brad then explains how he got his first movie made: “The Take” starring John Leguizamo & Rosie Perez. Then Brad gives Brett the inside scoop on his next three films: “THE LINCOLN LAWYER” starring Matthew McConaughey & Ryan Phillippe, “RUNNER RUNNER” starring Ben Affleck & Justin Timberlake, and “THE INFILTRATOR” starring Bryan Cranston.
