June 2006: I did Much Ado About Nothing with The Haven Theatre Company. It was a really tiny production in a middle school auditiorium. Needless to say, not my best work, and as a side note the company doesn't even exist anymore. Anyway, I played Hero and the man playing Benedick, Ken Ward, and I became fast friends.
January 2007: Ken gets a call from a buddy of his from college, Christian, who was in a movie called K:19 starring Harrison Ford and directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Kathryn has called Christian asking him to round up some friends to do an informal reading at her house of a movie she's thinking of directing called The Hurt Locker. So Christian, Ken, a few others, and I all go over to Kathryn's and read through the script. I leave thinking nothing of it.
June 2007: Mark Bennett, a casting director, calls me out of the blue saying Kathryn has requested me for the movie and wanted to put me on "hold" and to make sure I had a passport and availability in August to go to Jordan to shoot. I, of course, said yes! (Luckily when Will went to Prague 2 summers ago, I tagged along to the passport office and got a passport too.)
July 2007: I signed with a new agent, Jana Luker.
August 2007: Jana calls to let me know I'm off "hold" and "booked" for the film. As of now I'm flying out the 21st.
