What gets you up in the morning?

My son Jack - both figuratively and literally. 

What's the weirdest thing that's happened on a shoot?

It was August in Delhi, India aka monsoon season. We were in the middle of shooting a scene at a pedestrian mall when suddenly we heard some commotion over in video village. I looked over to see the agency account guy cursing and chasing the lead client around - at one point pushing him to the ground. While I was in awe of the whole situation, the rest of the crew seemed unfazed as they pulled out their cigarettes and Juuls and watched until the chase scene came to an end. It was weird and it was awesome.

Morbid, but what would be your last meal?

I'd keep it classy, bottomless martinis (of course bleu cheese olives) and one of those table-side caesar salads for two.

Pretend this is a job interview - what's your weakness?

Job interviews.
