“It was like there was no problem. I’m so lucky and I thought, if I can have this time with my kids, why not? And I was still working, I just wasn’t acting, because movies take you away from your family, you have to be away long hours, be far away, travel a lot.”he said.

“It was almost like an unspoken agreement that said, OK, he’s going to work remotely and I’m going to work from here.”
