And then I got the job and really freaked out, quickly called Melrose Driving School, and a soldier named Adam taught me how to drive. The next minute I'm surrounded by stunt drivers, and they are the best in the world, and they're teaching me how to do donuts and controlled slides. And I'm just going, "Yeah, no. This is so easy for me."
