00:00All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
00:04♪♪
00:18I saw two films before I was 18 years old,
00:20Orca and King Kong.
00:22The idea of doing this for a living
00:24was not even in the vernacular of my dreams
00:26until I was 19.
00:30And I had a friend suggest it to me,
00:32but I didn't think it was a possible reality
00:36for a working way to a job.
00:38♪♪
01:04♪♪
01:11I got my first job in Austin, Texas
01:13on a film called Dazed and Confused.
01:15Woo-hoo!
01:17All right.
01:19♪♪
01:26Say, man, you got a joint?
01:30Uh, no, not on me, man.
01:34It'd be a lot cooler if you did.
01:37♪♪
01:41If I have any rule or any strategy,
01:43it's try to do things different.
01:45Try to surprise myself, go over here,
01:47and let's accent that side of my own personality.
01:49Let's mix it up.
01:51I would like a broad, interesting library
01:53of great Americans
01:55at the end of my career, you know?
01:58♪♪
02:01I lived on the road.
02:03I was living in an Airstream,
02:05traveling across America.
02:08♪♪
02:17♪♪
02:31I mean, I guess that's how I got it, you know?
02:33I mean, just keep doing it.
02:35I don't know, you know?
02:37I kind of keep laughing along the way.
02:39Kind of sure helps.
02:41♪♪
02:51Calling all students!
02:53Coming to the Just Keep Living program
02:55can provide so many first-time experiences
02:58and be something that you can carry on
03:00throughout your life after high school.
03:02Learn nutrition, learn exercise,
03:05learn good life choices.
03:07And we've got attendance raising.
03:09The kids that are in our curriculum,
03:11their attendance is getting better
03:13in the real school that they're in.
03:15♪♪
03:25You guys see a lot of lawbreakers
03:27up in this house.
03:29♪♪
03:33I almost said McComasants.
03:35I thought that was a good play on words.
03:37Somewhat deliberate.
03:39There was a time over two years ago
03:41where I was receiving romantic comedies,
03:43I was receiving action adventures,
03:45that I said two things.
03:47I said, one, I feel like I've done that before.
03:49Then two, I was looking at some of them going,
03:51well, I like it, but I could do it tomorrow.
03:53And I said, you know what, I don't want to do something
03:55I feel like I could do tomorrow.
03:57I want to do something where I go, whoa,
03:59that turns me on, but I don't have the answer.
04:01Go to work and figure out who this guy is.
04:03♪♪
04:11You look great.
04:12Honestly, I look amazing.
04:14♪♪
04:17I had a sensational year of acting.
04:20I did this film, Dallas Buyers Club.
04:24Not an easy film to find,
04:28not an easy story to find.
04:30They do not come across our desk that often.
04:32And as a bunch of us know, if they do come across our desk,
04:35it's even harder to get the damn thing made.
04:37♪♪
04:52That's a big bull.
04:55♪♪
05:19We are Cooking Barbecue,
05:21and we are delivering barbecue
05:23to 20 different fire stations to different people.
05:25First responders that are responding to the fires
05:27that are going on in L.A. right now.
05:29♪♪
05:36You know, they got that line,
05:37if you don't do politics, politics will do you.
05:39There's a lot of truth to that.
05:40And yeah, you could say a lot of things
05:42are heavily divided now.
05:45I think it's a phase we're going through.
05:48And we'll come out the other side
05:50and we'll find our proverbial water line
05:53and see that, hey.
05:54But that's also part of democracy
05:57is the push and the pull from the so-called left and the right.
06:01It's the push and the pull.
06:02There is a divide there to push.
06:04I'm preferably a little more aggressively centric.
06:08But we'll see where we come out
06:12and getting out to vote's the first step
06:14and doing something about it.
06:15♪♪
06:19You got an aye 24, aye 24.
06:22Aye 24.
06:23Oh!
06:25♪♪
06:55♪♪
07:00It's a true consideration.
07:01All right, all right, all right.
