It also leaves me free to appreciate and value every single person I come in contact with on a one-to-one basis. As for not traveling with an entourage, I experience life more personally that way and have the leisure to reflect upon it more privately. I appreciate the compliment, however poorly deserved.

Were you born with your commitment and dedication or was that learned? Do you ever get frustrated with people who don’t put their all into whatever they’re working on? It’s as if you have more than 24 hours in a day. You take a very personal route and don’t “hide” behind a team of people.
You seem to always put 100%+ into everything that has to do with your career, including interviews and conventions. He’s a total pro, but also one of the kindest and gentlest talents I’ve ever worked with. He came to visit set the day before he shot and would hang out on set when he wasn’t shooting.

The leading characters all have hidden quirks and muffled secrets camouflaged in the white noise of their own consciences.

He’d come up with a highly amusing film that’s both creepy and unnerving in a very interesting way. It was our first opportunity to work together, Chad and I, and I think we both found it to be a pretty damn satisfying experience. What type of conversations did you have with Chad about coming onto the project and your character? Chad Darnell, like you, is a very crafty storyteller. You recently finished working on Chad Darnell’s film, The Undertaker’s Wife, in which you play Sheriff Johnson. We have soooooo much to learn from Marc Singer, so let’s delve right into it!

It’s that intensity that allows him to fully embody the character and understand how everything in a production comes together.
