VD: It's a constant struggle to achieve 100 percent confidence. That struggle is where our performance lies. It is our performance. So, working on all the films you've done recently, you're starting to learn how different directors can be, huh?

EH: Yeah, I just finished shooting
Imaginary Heroes, which was written and directed by Dan Harris. We'd improvise and do things in the moment, which was a lot of fun. Dan lets you find out for yourself what the character's doing, and he really wants you to bring something to the table.

VD: I think that the best directors--the best ones
I've worked with--do half their job in casting. You're there because they're clever enough to have you there, and they expect you to come up with the goods, you know? Now, when you're on a set, are you able to deal with the people around you, the politics, and everything?

EH: I think a lot of actors feel like they have to make everyone happy. I feel like that too in a way, but I also know I'm there to play a rile. I don't look at it like it's a getting-to-know-you experience. What's important to me is the performance. But, when we're not shooting, it's completely different [
both laugh].

VD: Yeah. We had a blast together. Okay, my brother. Hopefully soon we can do what we've talked about and play father and son.

EH: Yeah, we will. Definitely.
