He hadn’t been prepared for the fact that actingwas only a small part of being successful in Hollywood. One of the most key elements was promotion—not promoting himself. Promoting the image that didn’t match any reality he knew. Somehow, it was more difficult to play a part in real life than it was to play a part for the movies.

He didn’t know what was going to happen once the movie wrapped and they both went on to their next, separate, projects.
