Fun fact of the day: Christopher Nolan aka the director behind The Dark Knight/Inception/Interstellar/Dunkirk, admitted he has a soft spot for Tokyo Drift.
I love seeing Jared getting to be home with his family just having game night and being a dad. We know this is what he wanted post-spn and it warms my heart to see it. I love that all of his hard work over the years has paid of with him being able to work where he wants so he can be there for his family
What a beautiful sentiment! It's certainly heartwarming to see someone with such a kind heart having everything he wanted.
What's amazing is how rare Jared's situation is. He had a list of requirements for working on a new show after SPN and was able to get all of them met, including working close to home and having reasonable hours for the entire production staff. He's also a working EP (not just in name only) who can set the tone on set and also help guide the story.
Very few actors have that opportunity. In fact, forgive the tangent, but I saw an interview today with Lucas Black (LaSalle on NCIS: New Orleans) who ended up quitting his show after six years in order to focus on his family:
So much of what he shared reminded me of the struggles Jared had working long hours so far from home. Even though Lucas could go home to his family, he still didn't get the quality time he wanted with them. I hope that by seeing the success Jared's had with Walker, more executives in Hollywood realize the importance of a work/life balance not just for the cast, but the crew also.
