This moment was when I found a sense of humor and stopped getting really upset about it. My friend was at my house when I got the call. It was just a few days later, and I felt great about the audition. Joe Kosinski called me and said, ‘Hey, you know we’re going with Miles.’ I was like, ‘OK, you guys will make a great movie. I appreciate the opportunity.’My friend took a picture of myself and thought I was going for the role.
