TP: Whoa, I wasn't aware of it. He's probably looking for a story.

THC: He said you had a big fight on the set.

TP: Bring him in here. (Laughs.) I'm not aware of the incident-I might say things because I tend to shoot from the hip and maybe he took it too hard. I'm a New Yorker and I don't like beating around the bush. I'll just say what I want to say and I won't sugarcoat it. But I'm not snobby, I'm just direct. Wow, I can't believe he said that.

Back to present:

THC: The aspiring actors want to know how you got the part.

PC: I did a national talent search-somehow they liked me and the rest is history. One week I was sitting in my apartment looking at Internet porn thinking I'd never work again, going click click click. Then the next week I'm in a giant hotel room looking at Internet porn on my laptop, but this time I was in a movie.

THC: How'd you survive Los Angeles while waiting to get your big break, Sean?

SS: Lots of jobs. I worked at a restaurant, at the zoo, a law firm, as a utility guy, at City Walk-I did everything.

THC: Back up. The zoo?

SS: For like two days. I did American Pie but then no one would give me jobs! So then I got a job at a law firm as a handyman-I was painting the walls and fixing toilets and I was like, "Dude. I just did a Universal Studios movie. This sucks!" But then I got rid of that job and my friend hooked me up with the zoo job. I was like, "Yo, animals, riding around in a cart, kiddies, what could be better?" So I get there and the manager goes, "Sean, this will be your food stand. Here's your hat and your uniform. Here are all the prices." And I'm like, "Wait, I need a calculator. I can't do math." I remember that day I did an interview with Rolling Stone for American Pie and I'm sitting there in the sun working at zoo going, "Man this really really sucks." This guy drives buy in a golf cart flicking me off. But then I got Final Destination and I was like, "Never again."
