“I was embarrassed. My post said, ‘I just want to join the conversation.’ And it was a picture of the Thing, and Matt somehow saw it. And I had a meeting with him and we discussed it. And I’ve never been so bold in a meeting before, just begging for the role, just selling that sucks. , the idea of how committed and passionate I was about this. But obviously that didn’t happen.”
