And then, of course, over the years, I told him that I was a huge fan of his work, Uri is one of my favorite films. And I asked him if there was ever an opportunity, maybe to hold a gun and stop it in a frame somewhere, I would be very happy. I think he probably saw something, he saw that I can probably play.“
