The Jersey actor “Yes, there were a lot of things. When you’re an assistant director, there are a lot of cuss words that are used by them especially when you’re the clap assistant. Everybody thinks that they can say anything to you and you’re someone who is dreaming and is every day thinking that you want to be someone someday. You can give it back, you can say it back but you hold it because there’s a bigger dream than just reacting on that day and that moment. I have never been called such kind of words even for small things also. If the clapboard comes in late, there were people who used to use cuss words on me but I resist there and was holding it.”
