Is there anyone you haven't worked with yet that you're like, I'm dying to work with this person?

Um, I'd like to work with James Franco.

So you want to do like comedy at some point your career?

Um, I don't know. We'll see. Yeah. I did like six or seven dramas and then I did this guest appearance on a sitcom, which is kind of weird. Um, to jump from drama to sitcom.

But just the story of your life.

Yeah, that's right. It's just my life story. Cool things happen.

Yeah, it was cool. So, Joe, you know, this is an awesome like super thriller movie. You've got Nicholas Cage, another actor that to add to your list. So, and just sort of like the premise of the movie is, you know, you're this kid coming from a homeless family and you're asking for a job and then just like what happens from there? Just

Yeah, well, um I asked uh Nicholas Cage's character, Joe, for a job and he reluctantly gives me one. Um, and then he just kind of takes me under his wing and he becomes my role model.

So how is that? I mean like just working with him and he's an incredible actor. Did he did you learn a lot from him?

Yeah, he's great. No, he's a great guy to learn from. He's super professional. Um, you know, I think he was actually he was while we were shooting, I think he was staying here and he was here, you know, two months before we even started shooting.

You were shooting in Austin, right?

Yeah, we shot in Austin. Um, so he was here like prepping for his role, prepping for this movie, like two months before it even began. So he was like

Wow. Really into it. So, I'm in Austin, like you've been here before. I assume. Is this your first South by Southwest?

Uh, first South by Southwest. I had a movie here last year, but I wasn't here. I was in LA. So,

And in terms of like food, are you like a foodie cuz here obviously Austin's Austin's all about the food. I mean, you know the barbecue things.

Oh, yeah, definitely definitely got to get Franklin's and um what are some other ones?

Have you waited in the two-hour line at Franklin's?

I I haven't. You know, I don't you have you doing that? I don't I don't I don't think I've ever had Franklin's.

Okay, so I just was barely noticing that your hair is actually really long. It's in a bun tied in the back and I'm like, wait a minute, you have long hair.

It's yeah, it's there. It's all there. It's uh, but it's extensions. So not real. Yeah, it was I had to get extensions for a role I just did and it was crazy. Like they were packing because we were supposed to be, you know, living out in the desert and it was supposed to be set back in biblical times. So you didn't take a shower. So in the mornings, I would go to the makeup room and a barber, our hairdresser, would just take a bucket of dirt and like dump it on my head.

Are you serious?

Yeah, and so it took like an hour and a half to get out of my hair every night.

You know, a lot of your fans out there want to get to know you a little bit better. So we have a couple questions. Okay. Just sort of like rapid fire, whatever comes to mind. Uh, is there any artist that you're loving right now in terms of music? Like what's sort of your style?

Um, I, yeah, there's just one band called Avett Brothers. Have you heard of them?

No.

They're really cool.

I probably should.

Yeah. They're from uh, I think they're from South Carolina. Um and I'm really a fan of their music. It's like a folk kind of country rock.

Okay, so number two, if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Mexican food. Any Mexican food is good.

Any Mexican food? Okay. That's a good one. So what is your ideal day off?

Uh, ideal day off. Um, just hanging out at my house and getting to sleep in my bed. Um, watching a little Sports Center, catching the top 10. And um, drinking a little coffee and then maybe going fishing or something.

That sounds like an amazing day, actually.

Yeah, that's my perfect day.

Okay, and if you can meet anyone famous, dead or alive, who would it be?

Uh, James Dean.
