A lot of people don’t know the whole story, and I would encourage people not to Google anything. I think there’s a lot more to it than people know. It’s a weird thing to be playing a real person. That, you know, lived and walked on this earth and had family and friends. So there’s a certain responsibility and sensitivity that one must apply to that. But it is exciting nonetheless to be a part of such a prestigious project with so many incredible people. I’m really looking forward to it…We go to Miami in a couple weeks, and while I’m looking forward to shooting something in Miami, you know, going to those steps and going to that house, it’s going to be real eerie, man, but I’m glad I’m with good people. That’ll be a nice safe place to work.
