its always fascinating to learn the different reasons why people find themselves in their art . we all have a different story of how the hell we ended up doing what we do. but most of the entertainment based careers always seem to have the best stories. whether it be from a basis of childhood or even just a small [part of life that bulged and pushed you on your way we all end up coming back to it in the long run. we all have a reason for doing what we are doing and it is really good to see this as a real arc/bookend scene for stiller i find that most fascinating.
