And the guy got a job right out of the chute.”
He really wants to be something in this medium."
The kid is so much better than I was when I was his age.
I watch his scenes.
He is turning him, he’s hitting them.
He’s awesome to watch.
So I had nothing to do with it.
I helped him run his lines a couple times and now he wants nothing.
He’s his own man.
I’ve got nothing but unbelievable confidence in him and he’s going to do it his way."
Still, he had to concede, “he probably got a longer look entering the room.”

“If he would’ve told me a year ago, I’d be like, ‘No chance.
There’s no way this kid’s going to end up on the soap opera.’
And he is, and he’s killing it.
I couldn’t be more proud of him,” he said.
