00:00To be able to tell the story, I think the world needs to know Anthony and to feel some

00:06of that, what the character he has and what he's done in his life.

00:10I just found the story incredible.

00:12It was unpredictable.

00:13It was, you know, obviously a terrific ending and decided to go with it.

00:18With Judy and the two of us getting to know each other and really hearing, you know, firsthand

00:24what her story was like, what it was like to be pregnant at 16, what it was like to,

00:28you know, have a child born with no leg.

00:30At the end of the day, Anthony inspired her to understand that, like, you can do anything.

00:38It's amazing.

00:39It's a really beautiful story.

00:40And I was really intent on playing and not shying away from the difficult moments in

00:47their life because what I told Judy and what I told Andrea, I was like, that's what makes

00:51it so triumphant.

00:52So it wasn't easy.

00:53It was hard, you know, and we can't be afraid of those things, those moments in our lives.

00:57We have to, you know, own our story in that way.
