Yes, that's like there is a 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.799 crazy resurgence of just skating in general of rollerblading. 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:16.959 Is there really? I didn't know? 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:17.840 Yeah, oh yeah. 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.760 I would go as far as Sade Usher must have 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.360 been a rollerblader back in his day, because he brought 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:24.560 us to the super Bowl. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.600 I'm going to take a little bit of credit for 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.360 the super Bowl halftime, so because I feel like I 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.080 might have been a little bit of inspiration me and 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.160 the rest of the coast just saying. 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.120 I had to have been a Brink fan, had Tom 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:37.600 There's just no way around it. 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.760 If we do a Brink too, we'll have maybe it'll 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:40.440 be a musical. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.480 Yeah right, probably would be for Disney, I can tell 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:44.240 you that for sure. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.760 So do you remember we we'd love to kind of 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.720 start with do you remember the first time you heard 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:50.240 about Brink? 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.280 Did you What was the audition process like where you 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:53.640 offered the role? What happened? 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:58.840 Okay, so the audition came through like any other audition, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.320 But the second I saw it, I just had to 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:09.520 have it. So when I started acting was when I 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:13.400 was about ten, and when I was ten, at about 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:18.599 the exact same time, I started rollerblading too. Wow, when 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:23.520 I wasn't acting, I was rollerblading, okay, to the point 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.520 where when I did Grace under Fire, I was not 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.280 contractually supposed to roller blade at all, and I ended 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:35.360 up breaking my rib cage. Oh no, no, I had 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.640 to play it off like I was fine. We got 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.800 through the week. But it was a rough one. 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.880 Oh my, so were you like in full of like 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.560 bandage rib cage pulled together? 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.040 It was nothing you can really do for your ribs. 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:49.520 No, but you just have. 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:53.560 To take short breaths because like I had splintered bone 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.400 that my lungs were expanding against. 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.160 Oh my gosh. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.920 That was probably thirteen and a half, maybe a couple 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:01.960 of years before Brink. 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.360 All right, well wait if we're talking a couple of 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:10.600 years before Brink. So you did Boy Meets World before 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:11.360 you did Brink. 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:17.360 Right, Boy Meets World was my first like real acting job. 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.240 Yes, yes, Oh that's so cool. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.920 You guys sent me off. You guys gave me the 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.600 wind of my sales that I needed to continue forward. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.760 Do you know you were also inarguably the most famous, 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.120 most popular, most important episode of Boy Meets World ever. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.560 That's true because that's the first episode the penga. 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:45.279 Yeah, that's the first ever episode. Is you being again? 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.960 Kind of you seem to be cast, especially when you're younger, 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.159 as kind. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.120 Of the bully, jerk guy. Why where did that come from? 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.000 Always was that kind of a thing, as you were 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.719 always cast as the bad kid. 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.080 You were good at it, I guess. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.920 I love it, yeah, because I feel so. I feel 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.280 like the bad guys have all these different like dimensions 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:11.919 to him, and it's so fun to play the bad guy. Yeah. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.080 When it comes to Val, I think that's the reason 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:19.479 why people take to him so much is because he 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:24.000 just loved being bad. Yeah. He just took so much 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.880 to light in driving them crazy. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:31.000 Oh he was fearless and you were so confident. You 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.680 were so confident. I think that part of your character 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:35.160 was really appealing. 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:39.479 Is because we talked about between you and Eric, it 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.240 was kind of this. You know, you were either a 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.800 Val or a brink like girl like as the girl fans, right. 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.600 I think most people were Brits. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.359 They were either like they loved the bad guy or 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:56.320 they liked the like squeaky clean brink. He hadn't had 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.120 to choose, right, could like both of us? 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:03.679 True, maybe they love to hate me sure later in life. Yes, 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.200 I think there's some fans that now are like more 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.480 on the side of X blades, But I kind of 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.120 was was definitely the winner when it came to the 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.440 like Bop magazine fan base. 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.920 Yeah that I mean, in all honesty, your character did 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:20.520 almost try to kill. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.880 Yes, almost almost tried tried to kill a girl on 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.480 the Disney Channel, with no remorse whatsoever. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.120 At the end of the movie, even after it got 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.280 like blown up, you were like, yeah, I did it. 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:38.240 Yeah, whatever, just rides off to come back again unexpectedly 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:43.800 at any given time. Hasn't learned anything from the entire experience. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.040 That's so great. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.400 Okay, So the audition comes through like any other. We 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:54.400 talked to Christina who said that she had to rollerblade 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:55.000 for the audition. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:56.720 Did you have to rollerblade for the audition as well? 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.920 So the first audition, so there were multiple auditions. Obviously 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.760 they paired us up. They tried to figure out if 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.040 it would work. But the first audition just going in 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:12.200 was was no skating required. But I came in with 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:16.080 my skating double bag. So I had my skates that 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.080 were obviously used. They were all like busted up roller 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.640 blades that I would skate and have to like I'd 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.240 break off the wheels or the bearings would break and 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.960 I'd have to like engineer him back together. So I 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.040 showed him. I was like, I can do that, real skater. 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.280 I could. I could do the acting and I can 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.719 skate too, Like, you guys have gotta hire me for this. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.320 You gotta give me this, you gotta give you this. 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.400 But still I wasn't really sure what was going to happen, right, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:49.320 And so when it came to matching up, I walk 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:54.679 in and Eric vont Detten's in there, and I had 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:59.360 already done a movie opposite Eric, Escape Twitch Mountain. Yeah, 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.319 I knew that we played well. Isn't he the bad 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.320 guy in him as the rob? And so when I 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:13.120 saw him, I was like, let's do this, baby. 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:14.400 Oh man? 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.480 So okay, So did they pair you up the first 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.520 day you were there or was it just single stuff 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:19.040 the first day? 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.920 No, first day it was just straight normal read with 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.080 the casting director. And then I think this, I think 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.920 it was the second audition was the one where they 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:33.720 brought in Eric and then we did a table read after. 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:39.120 It's amazing. I mean, the fan base in the movie. 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.160 I don't think there's enough credit that goes to how 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:46.600 well it was cast and how amazing the crew was, 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.800 and how awesome the locations were beautiful. I mean it's 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.400 like Miami Vice. 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.400 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it really was. 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.760 It was great, even the the graffiti and everything, the 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.800 just how bright the skate parks were, then the ocean 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.520 behind it, just everything pops on screen. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:07.400 Was that now? 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:11.160 Christina said she never got a chance to shoot in Washington. 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:12.360 Did you go to Washington? 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:14.520 We went to Washington? 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.760 Apparently some of it says some of it. If you 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:18.720 look on the internet machine, it says some of it 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.959 was shot in Washington, Washington State. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.520 It's wild. I wonder what that was. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.240 I wonder if there was any It was maybe b. 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:29.600 Rolls straight along the shore, every beach you can think of, 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.760 and most of those skate parks were built from scratch 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:37.480 for the movie. Yes, oh yeah, yeah. So like the 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.080 pit remember in the open end like scene where like 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.720 x Blades comes in. Ye, there was a real there 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:49.480 was the real Venice Beach pit from the movie. What 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:56.280 was it Oh, it's with Roland Brashing. I haven't seen it. 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.959 It is It is such a good movie. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.400 Yes, the rations like air was even before Airborne, wasn't it. 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:08.160 Yes, yes, okay, genre type of film, yeah, yes. And 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.960 so there's they had the real pit, which is like 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:16.240 a spot where everybody could graffiti, but ours they actually 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:20.960 built from scratch and just made it amazing. 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:21.880 Yeah. 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.760 Did you guys get a lot of time to just 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.840 kind of play around in there during filming? 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:35.160 Are you somebody one of the actors would get injured, right, 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.360 So they would tell us like, you need to wear 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.360 all of your pads. You need to wear helmet and 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:46.800 elbow pads, riskards, all that stuff, and don't skate unless 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.200 you have to, okay, And so we would get a 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.280 little bit in like here and there, and then because 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:57.959 I could skate, they would allow me to, Like if 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.920 I had a trick that I thought that I could, 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.600 you know, pull off, they would allow me to do it, 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.040 and they'd shoot that, and then they would go to 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.280 the stunt double and they would say, Okay, now you 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.000 do that, and he'd be like, I don't do that trick. 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.560 That's not the way that it works. Like everybody skates differently. Yeah. 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.600 So one of the things we loved about the movie 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.160 was the fact that you couldn't They shot it in 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.040 such a way where there's a lot of times you 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.080 could not tell the difference between the stunt double and 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:27.160 the people that were. 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:28.360 Right the actors. 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:29.600 It was unreal. 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.720 It looked like, look you guys, I mean, well, I 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.120 know that you did quite a bit of it because 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.600 you were at a professional. 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.640 Skater level at what fifteen is when you kind of 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:40.000 when you. 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.079 Were you a pro skater or close to it. 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:48.160 I technically I was pro, I guess because of the movie, 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.839 Like that's where the pro title kind of came from. 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.800 Okay, and you were doing a lot of your own skating. 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.600 Yeah, I do most of the stuff. Yeah, did you really? 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.640 There was I did a lot of Like my thing 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.800 was street skating, and so the street skate, like the downhill, 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:04.560 that's me. 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.119 You're doing the downhill. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.400 Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.079 Man, you're kidding me. You are going down that downhill, 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:13.480 it's you. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.280 It was crazy. So the first time we go to 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.120 the actual downhill area is the scene where we're up 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:26.520 by the Victory bell and or Korean bell. I can't 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:31.240 remember the exact name, but that amazing area. And so 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.960 I go to Brink right and I tell him there's 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:41.040 a turn just before Kenner stand the outside, and then 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.960 I skate off kind of backwards, just kind of like 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.840 giving this like evil look, right, and then I make 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.760 this cut, this like abrupt cut, and then and then 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.880 the camera you know, changes to close up of Frodi Gabriella. 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.600 So that cut that I made was because I had 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.880 not gone down that hill yet and it was terrifying. 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.320 It just drops off. It's crazy. 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.000 It definitely looks that way. 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.400 But after that I did Jake Elliot, one of the 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.640 stunt doubles, was like, let's do this, and so I 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:22.680 went down with him, and then after that I did 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.000 all the other takes and it was invigorating. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.160 That is awesome. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.520 Did you know a lot of the stunt guys from 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.640 just your regular skating life? 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:39.240 I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean I was like geeking 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.600 out on the pros that we had on there because 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.560 these were the guys that I idolized as as a skater, 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:50.600 and and so I had grown up with all of them, 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.360 and so when Airborne came out, that was when I 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:58.080 started skating like that is that was the start of 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.880 all of us, like me and my group skating. Yeah, 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.880 and then Brink was like the second movie that they 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.880 got to be a part of, which was Yes, it 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.240 was so cool. I had so much fun and I 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:16.560 actually got so much better as a skater shooting the 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.680 movie and spending the time with the pros. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.640 Okay, oh, I guess that makes sense because they're showing you. 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.880 I mean it's like you're trying, You're doing their tricks, 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.120 they're doing your tricks, all that kind of stuff, Right. 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:30.120 You see what's possible. Yeah. Once you see somebody else 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.920 do the trick that you thought was impossible, all of 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.120 a sudden you realize that maybe it's possible for you too. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:38.480 Yeah. 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:43.360 And then that's why like backflip and motocross impossible. Nobody 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.520 can do it. One person does it, and then like 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.920 by the next year, there's like fifty people that could 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:49.960 do the trick already. Yeah. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:54.360 So you talked about fracturing your ribs while you were 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:55.560 doing Grace Underfire? 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:56.240 Is that what it was? 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:56.840 Yeah? 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.400 So Christina told us that she actually got hurt while filming. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.240 She slammed her tailbone. 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.240 Down when she was dropping in when she was doing. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.360 A dropping definitely happened. Yeah, did you get hurt? 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:08.800 It all while well filming the movie. 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:14.920 So the pink ramp in the in the semi final yeah, okay, 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:16.760 where Brin comes in with his shades on. 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:18.840 Yeah, when you didn't recognize him because he got the 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:19.960 shed look. 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.760 But it come with some skating attached. So that pink ramp. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.320 It was metal, and I was not used to skating 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.520 on metal ramp. And then the fact that it was 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:33.800 painted it like the wheels stuck to it. So when 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.680 I first the day before, I came to just kind 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.840 of test out the ramp, and I couldn't do huge 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.000 tricks on half pipes. We had a half pipe that 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.560 was in like the closest big city that I would 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.360 get to like here and there, so I could I 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.640 could drop in, I could do some jumps, I could 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.280 do a little bit of grinding. But I wasn't the 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:55.040 guy doing all the flips in the movie. And so 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.640 I went to see how much air I could get, 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.680 and as I went to jump up, I actually jumped 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:09.200 out straight down. But luckily, I mean, if you skate, 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.680 you it's like if you were a w W wrestler 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:17.960 like you, you have to know how to fall, so 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:22.640 luckily no brakes or anything like that. I did sunburn 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.080 my eyes because I was like Casper, the friendly ghost 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.120 in the movie, and we shot outside in the sun 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:33.320 every day. I guess the biggest injury I had. 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.080 You burned your eyes? 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.480 Yes, yeah, they were putting like like I dropped in 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:39.840 them all the time. They were like. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:46.120 Super I've never heard of that. I never heard of that. 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.119 What's amazing is the fact that we shot the entire 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:57.320 movie outside and I never got any color whatsoever. And 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.920 then Eric like phenomenal, Tan, don't. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.640 You love people like that? It's just like, how are 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:03.760 you constantly Tan? 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.640 One of the questions we get asked a lot is 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:09.320 the worm sandwich? 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.160 Okay, I was just gonna oh, yes, I almost puked. 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:17.280 I literally almost puked watching that again. I don't remember 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:24.680 it being so realistic and disgusting. What was that like? 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:26.240 Well, because puke? 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.840 If I had to act that out as a. 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:33.199 As a fifteen year old kid shooting a movie and 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.760 seeing that in the script, I will honestly tell you 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.000 I was a little concerned with whether or not I 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.439 was actually going to be getting real worms. Yeah, you 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.720 never know, Like, how big is the budget? On this stuff. 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:47.840 Just give them worms, He'll be fine. 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:54.040 So we used uh, they were like fishing worms. So 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:58.439 they were like these giant rubbery kind of like rubber 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:02.879 band type of things. And but that shot in the 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:09.240 film is one continuous shot. It's incredible where there's real 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:13.199 worms on the sandwich, Gabrielle picks it up, walks around, 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.280 and all of a sudden it's swapped out with the 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.520 other one, same continuous shot. So cool. 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.440 Oh wow, that is cool. 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.400 Thank you, Thank god that they swapped it out in time, 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.040 because you could have that could have been a really 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:27.680 bad day. 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.560 Yeah, it would have been an entirely different film. 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:44.480 Oh that's so funny. The other thing we get asked 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:45.120 about quite a bit. 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.440 That's something we have to address because I had this 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:48.600 in the nineties as well. 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.680 Phenomenal hair in this movie. 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:53.760 Just the hair. 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:58.000 Top was your hair hair routine to keep the middle 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.520 part bad guy haircut alive. 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:06.520 So my hair was much longer when I got the job. 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.280 I may actually cut it shorter. 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:10.520 Wow. 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.160 For the movie. I was like a skater rocker kid. 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:16.840 I mean yeah, they were trying to like cast me 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:20.320 for like rock star movies and stuff like that. At 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:20.760 that time. 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.359 So it was like, really, it was just it was 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:23.920 my hair. 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.080 It was just I didn't do anything to it at all. 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:31.000 Just I always wore a backwards hat. That's just that 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:31.840 was my look. 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:34.880 Yes, oh, I love that so much. 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.920 One thing that I would And I bring this up 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.320 because this is a claim the fame of my life 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:44.480 that took place in the movie that is probably completely 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.800 unnoticeable to anyone else but me. 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:49.640 These are the best. 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:54.840 So after Brink organizes, me and the rest of my 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:59.280 team getting beaten up by the adults, weird, weird, And 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:01.800 then the first day a school, I come back and 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:06.160 I take Gabrielle's shoes and tuck them over there. I 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.600 lobbed those shoes up and get them on the wire. 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:14.320 I actually threw those on that wire. 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:15.200 Did you really? 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:16.560 Yes? Yeh. 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:18.600 Take. 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:23.280 So this is the thing they like. Before we showed 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.640 up on set, the crew was there with the director 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:30.159 and everybody. They were trying to get an actual shot 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.240
