Jim Parrack, who's an actor, sat down with me to talk more about what drew him to this script.

Really just, uh, my relationship with Sam and our friendship.

When we worked on Silo, it's like, um, I think we found out we had a lot in common as men.

And I grew up in Texas, and, uh, from like a military and ranching family.

And so I've seen my whole life the toll of trying to feed the country from, from that angle and that side of things.

And, um, I'm far too sensitive and, um, creature comfort oriented to be a rancher myself, but I've always had a place in my heart for rural people and ag people.

And, uh, yeah, without even knowing the details of the project, I just said, "If I could help, let me know."

I mean, somebody who understands where their food comes from.
