“Hi Billy,
That picture is fantastic. What a monster wave! This is the best picture that I think I have seen of you. When was the picture taken? The surf was really up. Was this at your normal surf spot?

Great Interview With Todd Phillips On Casting... →
rubenfm:
Todd is a genius at casting as he has repeatedly proven in Road Trip, Old School, and the Hangover. Cool to hear his perspective on the process which is as far as I’m concerned, the most important thing a director can do.
