The question was, “In terms of learning you have had some amazing teachers and been on some incredible sets so one of the biggest of all time the Dark knight with Christopher Nolan but he was a different person at that time he wasn’t the Christopher Nolan that we all know now. Working With him, did you see the genius already? Was he trying to figure out how to talk to you guys, or how did that go? “

In response to the question, White enthusiastically mentioned the conversation which he had with Nolan. He replied, “It was completely different than I thought. I thought Oh my god, I was like this guy is the genius. I get on set and I am like, how do I talk to him? And so the first scene I am doing, I said I am with my guys, the scene starts. Do you want to feel like we’ve been hair for 10 mins or like an hour?”

In response to that, Nolan questioned, “You know, I didn’t think about that. What do you think?”
