[Music] this is uh Samuel with JBS medium Productions um I've been following you since Krypton days and you were phenomenal in this film I wanted to talk about the fact that this is reminiscent of characters we've seen before in Rambo or Walking Tall or even Jack Reacher but this is very different Terry is a black man and he is a military vet and from the opening scene like that could happen to anyone and so I wanted to talk towards what were things that were difficult for you because there's two different folds with this from a physicality standpoint I can imagine Corey put you through a lot from training and the physical reserching to do this but the emotional connection to what's actually happening and the reality of it has to be so much more intense and so I want you to talk with the difficulty and it I can I can imagine you connected to it and you appreciated it but there had to been moments that were also very difficult whether it's physically or emotionally I would like for you to kind of expand on that a little bit yeah no that's a really I appreciate that that's um a really beautiful question I think I think something that so something that really early in my journey um that I was told is that um my height was highlighted my uh stature was highlighted and it was it was brought to my attention that some people may not believe that someone with that physicality could be emotional that was something that was told to me when I was first starting out and um I really that made me feel really conflicted and it it kind of uh upset me a little bit because I know that physicality is not indicative of emotional intelligence right so for me this was an opportunity it was like an opportunity to say someone can be ex physicality you name it whatever but it's not indicative of their emotional intelligence so the moments where you know Terry is uh I don't know if I can speak about any parts of the film in detail but the moments where you know he's given you know quite uh disturbing news and uh upsetting news I wanted to utilize those opportunities to engage in a way that irrespective of whether people thought it contradicted his physicality or not was true and authentic um so I really seized those moments I really enjoyed those moments but there's never an easy moment within that you know sort of mentally and emotionally preparing yourself for those things uh can always be challenging and often always is um but again Testament to Jeremy I felt safe enough to be vulnerable I felt safe enough to go there um and I felt held you know by the crew cuz you have to remember when you're doing all these scenes on the in the film you just see Terry or you just see whoever but the whole crew are around and so they're also a massive massive component in you feeling safe so big shout out to our our our Nola crew um they held me they loved on me and I appreciate them you handed it beautifully congratulations thank you so much thank you thank you thank you [Music]
