Free-diving is all about dealing with anxiety. I've blacked out a few times. I've had big black-outs.
I grew up spear-fishing, so I've always had a breath hold.
My strength is my distance. I can swim two-and-a-half soccer fields on one breath.
When you're an actor, you're mollycoddled and you're treated with kid gloves.
When you're on a boat, 15 nautical miles off the coast and you're with a bunch of fishermen, they don't give two shits about who you are.
Every audition, I still get nervous. I still get sweaty palms. I don't think that ever goes away. You just get accustomed to it.
