00:00So what made you want to be a part of this movie?
00:02Craig Brewer, the writer-director.
00:06And then he sent me the documentary, the 2008 documentary,
00:09and it was one of the...
00:11It was so moving, quirky, funny,
00:15and it told the story of the heart of a musician
00:19and how you can't give up.
00:23And there's not a lot of money in music, especially nowadays.
00:26And, you know, you do day jobs, whatever it is,
00:31to have that moment of passion at night.
00:34And Craig captured that in his writing.
00:38That's why I wanted to be part of it, because I'm a musician.
00:41What was it like seeing Hugh and Kate sing together for the first time?
00:46They're cute, man.
00:48What a cute couple.
00:50But they are...
00:52They're thoroughbreds.
00:54You know, we all do it.
00:58Right?
00:58Kate, me, you.
01:00We sing.
01:01We dance.
01:02We tell jokes.
01:03We do drama.
01:05We can cry.
01:07We're gypsies on the road.
01:10And to be with that connection of soul is so fun.
01:16It's fun.
01:18For me, it made acting fun again.
01:20I haven't seen the film yet.
01:23Do you...
01:23You'll love it.
01:24I'm so excited to see it.
01:25Right, three times.
01:27Three times?
01:28Yeah.
01:28And first of all, I don't cry.
01:30I got to learn to do that.
01:33Apparently, my therapist said I have to...
01:36I guess I got to release some grief or something.
01:38I don't know what they said.
01:40And it was...
01:41And, you know, as an actor, you can see things,
01:43and you separate yourself from it.
01:45You watch it as an actor.
01:47But Craig and Hugh and Katie just brought me right in,
01:51and I was right into the story, just loving it.
01:53And they got me to cry three times.
01:55Do we get to hear you singing this at all?
01:57No, no.
01:58No, no.
02:00No, no.
02:00Only on the set was I playing harmonica
02:02and singing a little bit.
02:03Okay.
02:04I don't know.
02:05I don't know.
02:06No, no.
02:07I don't know.
02:08No.
02:08No.
02:09No.
02:09No.
02:10No.
02:11No.
