Q: How did you approach team-building and keeping everyone safe and connected during a long, demanding shoot?

Q: What was your best audition advice for actors in a project with a tricky tone?
As an actor, you should make a bold, committed choice and be prepared to discuss and justify it; if the choice is different, you can adjust through collaboration, but you must stay true to your own vision.
