My audition, when I auditioned for the movie, my audition scene was Dan auditioning for the show. So there was always, and I started acting when I was a kid, and so there was just a ton to kind of connect with. Just sort of the eagerness and the excitement, and also I remember being younger and getting, when you get to work with people for the first time who you so idolize, like, you know, they seem like 10 feet tall, just being in so that feeling uh dan has with chris of just he's so awestruck uh by him so there's all these sort of experiences to draw from for me and yeah and then also dan a little but a little bit separate because dan's more like a musical theater sort of guy and so i started taking i was working with like a musical theater singing kind of coach because i never really trained in that way or did anything like that so just yeah that was trying to get some of those things down a little bit more i loved when he started singing rent that's gotta be one of my favorite scenes of the movie. His audition, your audition for just seeing the tape, because it was just, I remember just seeing just a clip of Jussie singing the song. Yeah. And I'm like, oh yeah, that's 100%, that's the guy. It was so, it's like, it's literally like, how someone can be so funny and there's like nothing going on. And it's literally just looking at the camera and saying, right, I'm like, this is amazing.
