00:00Tell me what it was like to do this film.

00:02This is kind of one of your guys' first bigger projects, right?

00:04Mm-hmm.

00:05So what was it like?

00:06It was unreal.

00:07The coolest part about it was, yeah, I don't think I'd ever, I'd done some films but nothing

00:14of this magnitude and it was cool because by the end it felt like we were just one big

00:20family working towards this, you know, same goal and yeah, that was the coolest part for

00:25me.

00:26But when I was, you know, I always try to keep pretty moderate expectations about stuff

00:31so I didn't know, I didn't really understand the magnitude of the film while we were doing

00:35it and then recently as everything's been developing as we're doing all the press and premiere stuff

00:40it's crazy to see what Run the Race became.

00:43Mm-hmm.

00:44Right.

00:45And how hands-on was Tim?

00:46And what kind of like direction did he give you guys?

00:48Um, none.

00:49There was, it wasn't very hands-on.

00:50It was more Robbie Tebow.

00:52He was there every day with us.

00:54He became like our best friend on set in Alabama.

00:56He was the third Truett brother in the movie.

00:57He was the third Truett brother, yeah.

00:59Robbie's the man.

01:01And then we met Tim because Tim's just such a busy guy that we didn't see him much but

01:05we saw him towards the end and obviously today and we would just kind of hear through Robbie.

01:11Robbie was the conduit from Tim.

01:12He sure was.

01:13He sure was but uh, yeah.

01:16And that ending.

01:17Wow.

01:18Well, I don't know what you're talking about.

01:20You're telling me.

01:21Yeah.

01:22Um, what was, what was that like?

01:25And were you, did you see it coming?

01:27Um, I, I didn't, I did not see it coming when I read the script the first time.

01:31I was like, oh, uh, kind of, kind of left field but I-

01:35You gotta respect it.

01:36Selfish, selfishly as an actor I was happy about it.

01:39Mm-hmm.

01:40Why were you happy about it?

01:42You know I'm happy about it.

01:43I don't know.

01:44Yeah, it was, it was cool.

01:45The, it was like, it was um, very honest to life.

01:51When we, when I read it for the first time I was like, wow, this is like, this is real

01:56life.

01:57Like, they're not, they're not joking around.

01:58They're not sugarcoating.

01:59No pulling punches.

02:00Yeah.

02:01So that was, yeah, that was cool.

02:02Cool.

02:03And, uh, Frances is obviously a huge star in the film.

02:07Yeah.

02:08So does she give you guys any advice or words of wisdom on like, how to tackle a project

02:11like this?

02:12I think just being around her is, you know, obtaining wisdom enough.

02:16Seriously, there's, you don't need to, she doesn't really need to impart, you know,

02:20impart, go out of her way to impart wisdom.

02:22She just is constantly just her, how she is around set, how she is as a person is just

02:27so incredible to be around.

02:30Yeah, she really leads by example.

02:32Mm-hmm.

02:33And what's next for you guys?

02:35A few things coming up, huh?

02:37Yeah, do you wanna go?

02:38Well, I had a, I had a film called Indivisible that came out at the end of last year.

02:41Uh, worked with, uh, Darren who worked on, on, on Run the Race.

02:46Uh, filming a season two of a show next month.

02:49Up in Toronto.

02:51I do, I just got done, um, shooting a show called Dwight and Shining Armor that's gonna

02:55premiere, uh, March 18th.

02:57I play a prince.

02:58Are you Dwight?

02:59I'm not, I'm a, I'm the prince, dude.

03:01Oh.

03:02The, I'm not a prince, I'm the prince.

03:03Okay, cool.

03:04Um, and then gonna be on, uh, Lethal Weapon on the 12th.

03:07If you guys wanna watch me, I don't know.

03:08Alright.

03:09Whatever, if you want to, I don't care.

03:10No.

03:11Um, because it was a football movie and the Tebow brothers were involved, like, did you

03:15kind of feel like extra added pressure?

03:17Like, did you go to them for any advice or tips or pointers?

03:20Well, Robbie was very critical of my, uh, throwing motion as the quarterback.

03:24Yeah.

03:25Um, borderline hurtful at times.

03:28Yeah.

03:29But, but overall, yeah, he was really helpful with that.

03:33I think the pressure came from knowing, getting to know Jake McIntyre, the writer of Run the

03:38Race, getting to know him so well, you realize what this film meant to him and his family.

03:44And, um, I think that didn't add pressure, it just really set the bar for us, you know,

03:50and, and, and we gave it all we had because of that.

03:54Very good.
