  Speaker 2: The road to superstart him. For an actor, there's often
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: one movie or show they point out as their pivotal
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: moment that made the biggest impact for one reason or another,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: but Glenn Pale's is about as unlikely a turning point

  Speaker 2: his mom to drive three hundred and fifty miles to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: an open audition for Denzel Washington's The Great Debaters. He
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: showed up and at Tuxiedo. Knew his lines, and he
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: landed the role, and he got Denzel's agent to represent him.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: His new movie, Hitman's out on Netflix.
• 0:57
