00:00If you could play any role in this movie in addition to your own, which would you pick?
00:06That's a good question.
00:08I mean, I will say that Topher's role, he did make it seem very, very fun.
00:14I didn't really read it on the pages what it was going to be,
00:17but he was having the greatest time of his life,
00:19and I'm just in a chair watching Topher just chew the scenery in every way.
00:24I was like, okay, he's taking a thing and he's throwing it to its fullest.
00:28Also, I do find that I came a little later because you introduced his character on stage at this sort
00:33of megachurch,
00:33so I came into that theater as you were just getting going,
00:37and I was like, oh, Topher is in his zone.
00:41He is like, there is a part of you that wanted to be a megachurch guy or a self-help
00:46guru.
00:47They blew this smoke out, and then I ran out, and I'm high-fiving like 100 people.
00:52I think it must have been 2,000 people in that church,
00:54and then I'm running on stage and playing guitar,
00:56and then John wanted me to give a full sermon,
00:59and they're going to take parts of it, and yeah, you know what?
01:03Yeah, I always thought it was fun, and you know, it was fun,
01:06and the funniest thing was because no one in that crowd knew that my character
01:09was going to try to kill his character three minutes later.
01:13A lot of the background who were great and were so nice,
01:17every single take cheering me on.
01:19After about three or four takes, you're like, hey, man,
01:21like, I'm really feeling what you're saying,
01:23and I was like, oh, I have no idea what I'm saying.
01:26No.
01:27Yeah.
