Also, Im a director, so Im watching it going, How do they do that?
Thats a good sign.
It was so well done.
I jumped at the opportunity.
Also, Ginny isnt coming in as this superstar; shes on the cusp.
It had a super realistic way about it with everything that it does.
Its not tied up with a neat little bow.
Its got a real feel to it.
As a fan of the sport, is it fun to be on set since it is so realistic?
Its so close to the clubhouse that it really is the clubhouse!
The sets and the attention to detail by production design, the directors, and the producers is incredible.
They really surround you with such attention to detail, so its easy to roll with it.
What kind of guy is Charlie?
Hes got a tech background.
Its a lot of fun.
Its funny, because in real life, that would be my dream job.
So the keyword here isinterim.
What does that mean for how long Charlie will be around?
Really what it comes down to is a creative thing and how it works out creatively.
How will he be shaking up the team as the trade deadline hits?
When you follow sports, its a nervous time for fans.
Is Charlie cavalier about the trade deadline?
Charlie does look at it as a business.
I think every team needs to have that guy.
Whats the dynamic like between Charlie and Oscar?
Maxine replaced Frank, so is Charlie more of a company man, doing whatever she wants?
Maxine has given him carte blanche to do what he thinks is best for the team.
Some would argue that Charlie doesnt know a lot about sports, but hes a numbers guy.
I think hes his own man at this point, and makes decisions that he thinks are best.
Though Charlie is here to shake things up, is he not all bad?
Yeah, thats the thing.
I was thinking that, too.
That was the first thing I thought: Is Charlie a good guy or bad guy?
Ultimately, you want him to be a good guy, so well see what happens.
I know he cares, thats for sure.
What does Charlie think of Ginny?
He knows that shes good for business.
He sees her as a valuable commodity to the team in terms of a business standpoint.
I think he cares about her.
Its just hes a bottom line numbers guy.
Whats next for you afterPitch?
Im in post-production right now on theGottimovie.
Its been a unique time for me.
Ive been living my ultimate dream: Acting and directing at the same time.
Really, Im going to finish up this movie and see what happens next year.
Do you think theEntouragefilm was the last time well see Eric Murphy?
