00:00:00.025 --> 00:00:01.185
- One of the things I do
love about your career,

2
00:00:01.185 --> 00:00:02.305
you talk about the chip on your shoulder,

3
00:00:02.305 --> 00:00:04.545
but you do work with like
incredible filmmakers.

4
00:00:04.545 --> 00:00:09.235
You know, obviously Gunn,
Snyder, shaalan, and Vinu.

5
00:00:09.235 --> 00:00:10.675
What does sets Danee apart

6
00:00:10.675 --> 00:00:11.845
from the other ones you've worked with?

7
00:00:11.845 --> 00:00:13.905
What makes him so incredible?

8
00:00:13.905 --> 00:00:16.525
- We just, our conversations
are, are different.

9
00:00:17.665 --> 00:00:20.125
His, and, you know, it's hard

10
00:00:20.125 --> 00:00:22.405
for me having these
conversations without sounding,

11
00:00:22.405 --> 00:00:23.825
'cause I never wanna be dismissive

12
00:00:23.825 --> 00:00:25.125
of anybody else that I've worked with.

13
00:00:25.125 --> 00:00:27.745
Right? There's all been
special experiences

14
00:00:27.745 --> 00:00:31.825
and they've all, they've all
made me rise as a performer

15
00:00:31.825 --> 00:00:33.335
and helped me in my career change.

16
00:00:33.335 --> 00:00:36.745
James Gun changed my
life, his belief in me,

17
00:00:36.745 --> 00:00:39.145
his supported me, changed my life.

18
00:00:39.145 --> 00:00:41.655
But our conversations have been different.

19
00:00:41.655 --> 00:00:43.665
Denny supports me in a different way.

20
00:00:43.665 --> 00:00:45.355
Our conversations are more intimate.

21
00:00:45.355 --> 00:00:49.685
I've never had a director until
Denny, since Denny say to me

22
00:00:49.685 --> 00:00:51.985
that you're a very strong actor.

23
00:00:51.985 --> 00:00:54.005
And he said this to me on the first film.

24
00:00:54.005 --> 00:00:55.805
I was, I was, I was holding back

25
00:00:55.805 --> 00:00:58.625
because I was, I was self-conscious

26
00:00:58.625 --> 00:01:01.625
and I was, I was very unsure of myself.

27
00:01:01.625 --> 00:01:03.745
And he came to me, he said, I
feel like you're holding back.

28
00:01:03.745 --> 00:01:05.525
He said, you're a very
strong actor, my friend.

29
00:01:05.525 --> 00:01:09.085
Just follow your instincts. And
so I started belting it out.

30
00:01:09.085 --> 00:01:11.105
I started finding this character

31
00:01:11.105 --> 00:01:12.665
and he not only loved it so much,

32
00:01:12.665 --> 00:01:16.165
but he was so supportive of
my performance that he wanted

33
00:01:16.165 --> 00:01:19.825
to capture other people's
reaction to my performance.

34
00:01:19.825 --> 00:01:23.325
And so when you're getting that
kind of support, it's like,

35
00:01:23.325 --> 00:01:26.705
I mean, it's, it wasn't an
experience I've had before

36
00:01:26.705 --> 00:01:29.705
or since with the director
of that, that caliber.

37
00:01:29.705 --> 00:01:31.685
So it's, it means it's
everything. It's validation.
