EUR correspondent Ty Cole spoke to Levi about playing Kurt Warner and .

Cole: What was the job you had before getting your big break?

Levi: The most consistent job I had before becoming an actor was busting tables at a restaurant. I worked at a car wash for a year and a half – if that’s not character building, I don’t know what is. Now, I get to sit in these chairs and talk to wonderful people like yourself about a movie I’m a part of and I’m very grateful for it all.

Cole: What was the best part about playing Kurt and what was the most challenging part?

Levi: The best part of all of this was that I was able to play an excellent human being who has a lot of integrity, heart, empathy, drive, and grit. The kid in me being able to suit up and play an NFL quarterback was fun, but also the hardest. The physical demands on being football Kurt – there were a lot of them. I’m a 40-year-old man playing a Hall Of Fame quarterback it was a crazy and challenging task.
