00:42 as both an actor and producer.
00:44 - It means so much to be fully immersed in that way,
00:47 and if you're lucky enough to get to as an actor
00:51 and then as a producer, there's nothing like it.

01:12 and I wanna do more comedy,
01:14 and I want people to see me as doing that
01:16 and do physical comedy and to work with auteurs.
01:20 I mean, I've been in the Marvel universe
01:23 for a long time now, and people start to think
01:26 that's maybe who you are as a performer,
01:28 and I'm just much more than that.

01:48 How do you feel about it?
01:50 - I think we're in a position where we just,
01:52 you know, it's always an honor,
01:54 and then we just try to look at it from a perspective,
01:57 not of like, is it good or bad,
