访谈录 2009-08-12&08-15 《美国派》主演与大猩猩对

Before you did this, I read that you had so many different jobs and one job in particular is as hilarious 1 as story, you worked at the L.A Zoo. Under force, I guess people would have to say you're gonna do something different, then you ended it up.

Well, yeah! I actually filmed "American pie "and I made like eight thousand dollars which is awesome 2 at that time. Then I was paid them to be in the movie but I bought this Thunderbird, um, which is a total piece of crap and it didn’t work any more. And then, so then after I filmed the movie. I went to get a job at a law firm. That wasn't a lawyer. But It was like, you know, cleaning toilets and fixing things and then my friend said, hey, I get you a job, um, you know, feeding the animals at the zoo.

I’m like, I love this venture, I love animals. This is awesome. So I get the job, and then I am, this like, lady came out. She gave me some ridiculous outfit 3. This is like two months before American Pie came out. This is the first day. I actually, first day, work was when we had, um, Rolling Stone did an interview about all the kids of American Pie. And so I’m thinking, OK, it is cool, you know, I’m doing Rolling Stone interview and feed animals. She goes, OK, this is your food card, you're gonna be the chill guy. And I was like, chill guy? I thought I was gonna feed the animals. She is like, no ,you are feeding the people. And I was. So it was so crappy cuz it is like. OK, so this guy,the first guy came up like, I want nachos with cheese. I want pretzel and I want pretzel with salt. I was like, dude, just give me ten bucks 4 and I’ll give you whatever you want.

So in the next day, I was getting pretty angry about the whole thing. And I just like, you know, we haven’t seen any animals, and said to Regale 5, I got to Regale, this was chill dude. I gotta walk around for a while to see some animals. So I walk around and I see this Gorilla 6. Well, and I walked by the gorilla and then I got hit in the back of head with something. And I looked down, it was a pine cone 7. And I thought, no way, the gorilla's throwing something at me. So I looked back and the gorilla had another pine cone. It was like, flipping 8 up and catching 9 it like this. And I am like, no way, and he shot it at me. And I was like, and then for that point, um. This is a true story. I looked at him and we had this moment for that two minutes where I looked at gorilla and gorilla looked at me. And I felt like he was saying, I can’t get out of this cage but you can get out of this cage. And I was like, you’re the right gorilla I quit. And I quit that day and then I got final destination, my second movie next day, true story, and if I hadn’t quit, I wouldn’t get that movie. And I wonder what the gorilla are doing right now.
