00:00Does seeing him, because he is the master of stunts, does that kind of push you and motivate you to kind of excel a little bit further in your own stunt work?
00:09Yeah, you know, I've been working with him. I generally started my career with him, and all I know is doing your own stunt work.
00:15So, like, when I go to another production, I'm like, hey, I want to do this.
00:18When I did my stint on Grey's Anatomy, I was like, hey, where's the body, people? Give me a scalpel. I'm doing this myself.
00:24You know what I mean? I'm like, I'm doing all my stunts on my own.
00:26So, he's very infectious, and he's a great mentor to have and a great leader, and I just try to emulate his career, because I want to be the next movie star like he is.
00:35100%, 100%. And do you think that this Mission Impossible series or franchise could go on without him, or do we think, no, it's Tom Cruise, this is his movie?
00:45It's tough, man. It's tough. He's put his life into it. Like, when you think of Mission Impossible, you think of Ethan Hunt, you think of Tom Cruise. So, it's tough.
00:53Well, thank you so much for stopping by. Congrats again. Yes, for sure. Have fun tonight.
