“In the moment, you’re destroyed or you’re defeated. But you realize this person was brilliant,” Joe said on the Just for Variety podcast of not being cast after auditioning. “I remember years ago I was up for Spider-Man and I was so, so excited and it was the year Andrew Garfield got it. Obviously, he was the right one.”
