00:00Who do you play in this?

00:01So I play Deputy Frank Warden, who is part of a small law enforcement team in this small town that Ed lived in,

00:08who is responsible for figuring out what in the world is going on, and things kind of develop,

00:15and it becomes a little personal for Frank as it continues, but yeah, it's a little bit.

00:22How, it's so, I was just reading up on it, it is the creepiest, I mean,

00:28out of all the serial killers, like, aiding them, I mean, this is the creepiest I've ever read by far, right?

00:35For sure, it's really intense, and you see, you very quickly see, you know,

00:39why these other horror movies were, The Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, etc.,

00:44were so heavily influenced by the story, because it is certainly unnerving and eerie, for sure.

00:49Did it give you nightmares at all when you were shooting it?

00:57watch something funny when I got home, or things like that, because it definitely,

01:00especially with my character's art and how it types of things get, for him,

01:13What's the best advice that your parents give you?

01:16Really good question.

01:17You know, it's such a basic one, but my, when I first started acting, my mom, I was like,

01:24Mom, how do you, like, how, how do I become good at this?

01:28And she was like, I think you should read every script and ask yourself,

01:34how would a human say the words you're about to say?

01:36And I know that that sounds so basic, but sometimes in the flurry of acting techniques and stuff,

01:42you kind of forget that your first and kind of only job is to feel like a real human.
