“I was self-taping for it, and then they wanted to call me in for a test. So I came into Los Angeles, I tested with David, the director David Sandberg; it was so much fun! I just felt so comfortable, he’s a really, really cool guy, really cool guy, he’s originally from Sweden. And the next day I went into Warner Bros. to do one last scene in front of the execs and everyone and I mean two days later we were leaving to go from L.A. to go back to Utah and we got the call and I was like… I was shook. I was SHOOK!”
