I never thought, at that time, that he’d get anywhere, being that there’s so much competition. So glad to see that he’s gotten this far, because he was a really nice guy!

Seeing him in the movie was even more scarry to me, because i knew a guy around (20 years ago) who just looked like him, even his behavior was similar, and it was always a kind of fear around him because he well known was a ticking time bomb. He was like a cheap, and low level criminal (and bounce man as well) and i never had any problem with him but f*... it was just better walk away from him as far as you can. Seeing this guy in his role was the most scarry snd realistic act i ever seen.
