that man had so much to live for his
00:00:02
daughter just one giant thing I think
00:00:05
that alone he would never ever have
00:00:08
chosen to not be around I remember we
00:00:10
spoke on the phone he was in London he
00:00:12
said Mario I think I finally figured out
00:00:15
the acting thing I finally figured out
00:00:16
how to do it you know and until that
00:00:18
point he really didn't believe that he
00:00:19
knew what he was doing he was just
00:00:21
trying to figure it out and clearly when
00:00:23
he created that role it was just such
00:00:26
beautiful profound work you know scary
00:00:29
good he was an inspiration even before
00:00:32
that he was an inspiration to me even
00:00:33
though he was younger than me he was
00:00:35
such a beautiful friend he was so
00:00:38
generous and so passionate we were
00:00:40
getting closer and closer and that's why
00:00:42
it was really sad our friendship was
00:00:44
actually starting to really build again
00:00:46
cuz when I got sober I kind of distanced
00:00:48
myself from a lot of people it was a

real big loss personally but just for
00:00:52
