They had an assembly where two cops came to talk about how cool and normal and good having a school resource officer is, and they pantomimed eating each other's boots until they got kicked out. The Principal is extremely mad that I laughed until I started crying—when he told me that part of the reason for the suspension was for breaking the rules by refusing to take off their outdoor footwear.

I feel like a fuckup of a parent a lot of the time, but I guess we did something right.

    Good stuff. Should I watch Rampart or will it be a waste of my time?

      Ok. well, my method during preparation and production is immersion. I try to just immerse myself in the role, and in this case, watching movies, documentaries reading books. just anything that has to do with cops. Particularly LAPD, the history of the LAPD. As well as ride-alongs with cops... just getting into the back-story and the psyche of DAVE BROWN.

      So to jump in there is exciting and scary, and also you just feel completely safe and protected…Oren, he just won't let you fail, and me personally, I tried to fail several times.

      I mean its inevitable..with the freedom Oren does give you sometimes you're gonna go in the wrong direction and he's gonna steer you back.
