If not for a lucrative career in comedy, I'm almost certain you would have been the first black president.

Makes me wonder why it's so popular to look down on vegetarians on reddit. Even though I haven't been able to go vegetarian, those who are able to do it for moral reasons are pretty impressive.

That's extremely intense. I'm impressed you were able to channel the experience. I'll be renting it later just to see this scene.
Someone previously mentioned your roll as Sammy Jankis, which I thought was outside the realm of character acting (you were amazing by the way). How was working with Chris Nolan? Did he let you in on his interpretation of Sammy Jankis at all when directing you? Did you play Sammy as if he were really Leonard Shelby or as the guy that Leonard met while doing insurance claims? I've listened to your podcast that references your audition for Momento and it sounds like you interpretted Sammy and Leonard as two different people, did that change at all while filming?
(A lot of people think that Sammy was really Leonard, since Teddy says at one point that Leonard's wife didn't die in the attack and Leonard has a brief flashback of himself in Sammy's place pinching his wife/using the insulin needle. The idea being that Leonard repressed some residual memories of killing his own wife with insulin and created Sammy in his head.)
