鈥淭he director called and asked me if I had any acting experience, and I told him, 鈥楴o.鈥� The closest that I had gotten into acting was being in the drama club in high school,鈥� he said. Yet the director asked Keith to send him a YouTube video of himself reading the lines, and he landed the part of Frank Hall.
鈥淚 had to drive to Salem, Indiana, and the whole scene took 45 minutes to shoot. I鈥檓 in the movie for three minutes,鈥� Keith said, laughing. 鈥淢y character owns a lumber yard, and the main character, Andy, is interviewing for a job at the lumber yard.鈥�
