Joining us now is actor Jonathan Majors, star of the new Daily Wire bonfire legend film, Run Hide Fight Infidels. Jonathan, first of all, thank you so much for coming on.

Jonathan Majors (2:56)

Oh, it's my pleasure. It's my absolute pleasure. Love the film.

John Bickley (2:59)

Yeah, we do too, and we're excited about it. We've been hearing for months now from people on the production side here about how much they enjoyed working with you. And in fact, we just talked to Kyle Rankin, the director earlier this week, and he talked about how much you lifted up the crew. And I actually wanted to use that as the first question for you. You know, you're the first guy on the call sheet, and that takes a lot of energy. You know, I think a lot of people outside the industry don't realize what that means.

How much pressure do you put on yourself to really bring the energy every day on the set?

Jonathan Majors (3:31)

Oh, wow.

From the beginning, I love that you spoke to Kyle, because from the beginning, Kyle and I, we've got really, really tight, you know, and our objective was, okay, you're the coach here. You know, this is your story. You've written this. You know, you're supported by Dallas, and Mr. Shapiro, I'm here. You know, let's do this thing.

And the more I read the script, the more I realized that he was indeed the coach. And where I could be most helpful, I felt, you know, just always trying to add to the culture of a team, you know, was, you know, the kind of quarterback. You know, I know what I know as far as the acting department goes, you know. And so one of my huge passions is teaching. And as an actor, I think the best thing you can do is teach. And so Dallas and Kyle were very, very, very supportive. In me speaking to a lot of the young actors and in helping them along the lines, you know, being, you know, number one on the call sheet is, it's a great number, you know, it's a great privilege to have, but with that comes a great deal of responsibility. You know, it's kind of up to you to, you know, in a way to help and support, you know, I like to think of number one as number zero, you know, and you're the one there, you know, that's, you're a custodian, you know, you're there to clean things up, make sure you make your days, you know, and support the team and crew. And I had a wonderful team and crew to do that with and fell in love with my co-stars, especially JC and Young James.
