I Grew Up Playing Sports, But Now

I Want To Make Activism A Bigger Part Of My Life, While Hopefully Maintaining The Opportunity To Help Out Causes That I Really Care About. And Being An Actor Allows Me To Do That. Shooting A Cisco Commercial Allows Me To Do That. I Mean, Doing All These Things Allows Me To Talk About These Issues. But Don't Think There Aren't Those Moments Where I'm Like, "what Am I Doing? I Have To Quit My Job And Chain Myself To A Tree." Believe Me, I Have Those Moments.

I Feel So Lucky To Have The Opportunity To Make The Show, And That It Is In Alignment With What I'm Interested In, With What I Read About. For Me, It Just Felt Like An Organic Step - Of Course, I'm Thinking I Want A Show That Allows For More Representation For The Community And Shows The Struggles People Face, Especially When We're Hearing All This Political Rhetoric - To Have A Way To Show How Much This Affects People Lives.

I Think That Is Funny To Say Because I've Always Loved Her Work And Her Strength And Vulnerability, And The Intensity Of Evan's [rachel Wood] Performances. And To Know Her As A Friend, Know Her As Someone Who We Just Have Fun, Whatever, And Then See How Present She Is When She's Working And How Powerful She Is. It Was Really Awesome To Get To Sort Of Go Into This Different Dimension With Each Other.

I Didn't Even Think About It When I Read The Script And Then Shooting Their Movie And Someone Was Like "boy, Press Is Going To Be Fun". And I Didn't Really Know What They Were Talking About Because To Me It's Just A Film Shows It As An Extremely Viable Option Which Is Obviously The Most Important Thing For Young Individuals.

I Was In A Store In Halifax, Nova Scotia That I Love, Sort Of Like An Environmental Friendly Sort Of Store. But They Had A Great Book Section. So I Went In There All The Time. The Woman Who Worked There - Which I Feel So Bad; I've Forgotten Her Name - She Handed Me The Book And She Said, "hey, You Should Read This. I Think It Would Make A Good Movie." I Remember Reading The Back Of It And I Was Like, "huh." Then I Just Devoured The Book And I Was So Moved By It And Said, "why Don't We Start Developing This Into A Film?" So That's How It ['into The Forest'] All Started.
