00:00It was just kind of in the flow of normal commercial auditions and at the time I knew it was for Duncan but I didn't actually put it together that it was a Superbowl spot and I had auditioned before the holidays and then I booked it actually on New Year's Eve so I was super excited but then all the fire stuff broke out in LA and they were pushing the shoot back and I still didn't realize that it was going to be a Superbowl.
00:30Because it was a Superbowl spot and then I had shown up to shoot the day of and I get there and there's all of this high level security and they're putting you know stickers on the back of your phone and then I'm going oh this is a giant Superbowl spot.
00:47This was such a giant spot so Ben Affleck was directing it and so he was just spread so thin all over the place but he did a great job in directing it. It was really fun to watch him work.
01:00I snuck in and said hi to him really quickly and introduced myself and super sweet guy, really lovely but no I actually kind of went in stealth and left stealth except for the guys I worked with, the actors who were in the Burger Chain gang. We were chatting about my father and they were just super big fans and it was nice to trade stories with them.
