Peter Sarsgaard

So that I lobbied to get into, like I did a song and dance to get her in there because it was a three-year waiting list.

And after I was watching Dope Sick and the last episode, He, with the character, Peter Sarsgaard, plays Rick Montcastle, and his partner comes in and said, we have our next case, and it's another pharmaceutical.

But this time it's Abbott Labs, and they're off-marketing this anti-seizure drug for epileptics to nursing homes to chemically restrain them.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

I can give an example of in case people may not have experienced what you've gone through and other elderly people are going through in nursing homes.

I mean, if you've seen the movie Happy Gilmore, Ben Stiller's character when he's in nursing, that's what we're dealing with here.

Someone that's pulling landscape and duty and you know what I'm talking about.

And the second is resilience and developing your resiliency in no matter what it looks like.

Peter Sarsgaard.

I'm always attracted to playing storytellers.

You know, I would even say like I was doing Presumed Innocent before and after I did this.

Yes.

He is another, uh, Green Lantern villain, and he has a big old head, and he was played by, uh, Peter Sarsgaard in the movie.

When they said he has a series of high-tech slaughterhouses, I was like, "Is the bolt gun controlled by an iPad?"

[laughs] That, that would've been so funny in No Country for Old Men.

It is directed by Martin Campbell of 007 fame, and with a screenplay by Greg Berlanti and a few others, Marc Guggenheim, Michael Green, Michael Goldenberg.

And then of course it does star Ryan Reynolds in the lead role, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, and Tim Robbins.

So Joe, I, I know this, um, this movie has a, has a reputation.

[chuckles]

And then a few months ago I had watched two other things.

So those two were The Looming Tower, the limited series with Peter Sarsgaard and Jeff Daniels.

Zero Dark Thirty, that was a few months ago, Kathryn Bigelow.

And then over the past week and a half or two weeks, the movie World Trade Center, directed by Oliver Stone, starring Nicolas Cage, Worth, starring Stanley Tucci and Michael Keaton.

But I think with, you know, someone like Maggie Gyllenhaal is that she's The reason why, of course, she goes on to these stages and goes into these events and says all of this is because she's a raging feminist.

But it is the it is one of the only reasons why she has gotten to where she is in a way, because She, of course, is married to Peter Sarsgaard.

So that right there is pretty big.

Her brother is Jake Gyllenhaal, who is also pretty big in the industry.
