Producer Jim Shomos said \u201cit was a fun shoot and inspiring watching the way Clayton worked differently with every guest actor. He just knew how to get the best from each one of them\u2026 and they all delivered terrific performances. Shane carried a heavy load and was amazing. He\u201fs such a likeable guy; it\u201fs easy to forget what a talented actor he is.\u201d<\/p>\n
