There’s a story about the early days of your career and stand-ins?
It was my first job in LA. They have something called a stand-in who rehearses your part for you while you’re in make-up and wardrobe and everything.
They stand there while they’re lighting the scene so that you don’t have to do that and you can be doing other things.
I didn’t know what this person was so we rehearsed it the first time. Then they were like "Okay, second team" so I went back to my mark to get ready and this guy was like "No no no, you don’t understand, I do it now" and I was like "No this is my part, I auditioned for this, this is my role" and so he said "All right" .
The director called "Action" and I walk out and they’re like "Cut cut cut, J, what are you doing? It’s time for the stand in" and I was like "Oh, I didn’t know."
Then they turned it into a positive. They said "Well let’s just give J a round of applause because he’s a team player". Isn’t that terrible? That’s so bad.
