00:00 And I mean, one thing that strikes me about your career at this point is that you actually,

00:04 I think there's a comparison to make between you and Tom Cruise, because both of you have

00:08 just an extreme love of cinema.

00:10 You guys love movies so much.

00:11 And again, you both personally put yourself on the line.

00:15 You throw yourself into this action so much.

00:18 I'd love kind of your perspective on what he does in the Mission Impossible movies.

00:22 And also, I mean, just your thoughts about how Ethan Hunt would step up against John

00:26 Wick.

00:33 Yeah.

01:27 passion for movies and for, you know, we're lucky to be there and we're just trying to
