She goes, ‘Do you have a SAG card, honey?’ I said, ‘No, but we can work on that.'”
In the end, the charming Oscar winner convinced her to give him a chance. “I just said, ‘You know, I’m 15 minutes away from Warner Bros. Bring me in, and let’s see how it goes,'” he said. “And I was just very presumptuous. She brought me in that day, got the call back and that was it. Got the gig—next day.”
