This is my commentary based on prior conversation with Garrett Kruithof, an actor who has performed in projects like A&E's Bonnie & Clyde, Deepwater Horizon, and Starz's Magic City.

I discuss some of my takeaways from my conversation with Garrett and then I comment on some of the films and TV shows that I watched to prepare for the interview. Some of the discussion topics include

• Working within a community to gain traction in the industry
• How filmmakers can get actors to adjust their performances
• Sex and violence on screen and how its depictions in Magic City influenced me
• Why so many Hollywood purveyors of violence seem so outspoken on the gun debate
• The kinds of assumptions I sometimes make about a director behind any given project
• Why setting a good example on screen and in reality can make a difference.
