Totally. Everyone I met was super nice. I was in the scene with Ruth Negga and Dominic Cooper. Spent most of one of the days with them. We just hung out and played wall ball in between scenes. Definitely a really fun day of shooting.
I also saw them working really hard to memorize the lines for the next days shoot and get all of their stuff together. Those people are hard working for sure.
Sam Catlin (one of the creators) directed the finale and he was a really great director. He laid with me on the floor while I was bound and directed me from there during a scene. A really nice and awesome guy.

I didn't come up with a backstory for the part. I hope that doesn't make me a bad actor. I did think about the part a lot.
I'm a big comic book fan but had never read Preacher. As soon as I heard about the audition I went and got the first volume and read it. I have since read the second volume and a myriad of spoilers. It's good stuff. The comic was also always on set and people were always referencing it during the day they seemed to really value it. Thanks for the well wishes!

Good question. I would like to say it was my amazing acting skills, but I just tried my best at the audition. I guess I had the right look. I joked that I have a face people just want to shoot. Like nearly every audition on this scale, it just comes down to if you are the person they had envisioned in the role. There could be a million factors that disqualify you or that get you the part.

Auditions can be looked at a few different ways. 1.They are hell and no matter what you do, you never know if the part will be yours. 2. They are a great opportunity to do that role, even just for a minute in front of a casting director. You get to embody that character even for just that short time.
I like to look at it the second way. They suck sometimes yes, but that is the job. Auditioning is the job of an actor. And when you book something, that's just an amazing perk of the job of auditioning.

I have been doing some small acting stuff here and there. I have an agent who I guess I should shout out if this blows up. I'm with Mitchell and Presley Talent Agency. They get me auditions, I just went in to read for the part and I guess I looked like the guy they wanted to shoot in the head.
