one and I look for them believe I might have been the only one you're the only I might have been the only one well thank you one of your first jobs I was learned today as we have as the Super Bowl approaches was you were on a big Super Bowl commercial yeah I remember this commercial I don't I didn't remember that it was you in the commercial your nobody remembers your early commercial work nobody Rems my Apple commercial my PT Cruiser commercial or my Mountain Dew commercial which was a Super Bowl commercial Mountain de commercial was this like the first big like paying job that you had I don't know if it was the biggest paying job but like when you're a young actor and you get a National Commercial you're like great I'm going to get a 13 week cycle I get paid every 13 weeks this is incredible because you're you're waiting tables and you're working at a snowboard shop and you're going to UCLA and you're doing all this work and also you get acting work now like validated yeah um but I remember like showing up to set and they're like so you're working with the cheetah and I'm like okay and uh was a real cheetah there was a real cheetah that I had to spend time with before that just so the cheetah knew who I was so it didn't attack me I love that idea that theet is like okay he's a friend now he's cool he's cool don't worry about him we're good we're good um and so I had to spend time with the cheetah and then I get on set and I'm on this BMX bike and I'm chasing the cheetah in the desert you see a cheetah like ripping ass down the desert oh we have the commercial oh you do okay well look at it we might as well we'll talk about after [Music] [Music] bad cheetah come a long way come a long way what's the audition for that like are you just saying bad cheetah in the audition they want to see you on I think I think no they asked if I could ride a bike and then they wanted they had a stuffed cheetah I think and you had to kind of like go up to it and you know grab and badge you do they test you to make sure you ride a bike because actors lie about stuff all the time right yeah I mean I think at one point I could like dirt bike when I was 18 I could ride a horse I never rode a horse when I was 18 I never dirt bike when I was 18 but yeah they they didn't check it but I think they believed me when I said I can ride a bicycle we dug up your um like head shot from that time I think we have that dude that's your head shot time now did you I mean whose idea was it to take the shirt off was that the photographer it was the photographer is that why you beat him up is that uh what year was that you took that picture 1995 okay I took years the following picture I think probably exactly that very year here we go that was at the Radio St same photographer then for some reason he didn't want me to take my shirt off no he he I mean the weird the weird part about it was you know you're young you're impressionable you're with a photographer who says he shot Nicholas Cage or something I'm like okay and he's like you got a great physique why don't you do something with your shirt off and I'm like yeah and I'm thinking to myself like I look at I look like a child you I am a child I'm a child yeah thanks for bringing that one up hey no problem at any time I love when that one surfaces it's actually my favorite thing I'm like great I'm going to go
