Tell me about an actor you came around on and what film it was that made it happen. And did it make you re-evaluate the earlier stuff you didn't go for?

Just got upset that Baumbach's WHITE NOISE isn't on Blu-ray and maybe won't ever be. Also I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS. Also THE LOST DAUGHTER. Who is on this beat? Is there nothing we can do?

You're the music supervisor on a film. For the sake of the exercise, let's say it's a comedy. What song do you play over the credits to send people out on a high?
