![]() I think, you know we have - interestingly, we do have similar energy, so that was helpful for me. It was a beautiful experience to get to play her. So it was a beautiful experience to get to meet her. As I said, I’m really taken aback by her. ![]() We hit it off really well and we’ve become really good friends. And so, yeah, when I met her the next day, it was an honor to meet her and I was enamored. It’s unimaginable and tough to think about it, but she handled it with such grace for her family, for Zach, for herself.
