How do you prepare for a role while getting over jet lag & adjusting to new environment?

Luke: Getting used to a new town or city especially with jet lag is tough. But like all things with acting you can use it. The first few days are always a bit unsettling, but with my ipod and the screenplay I just tell myself I have been here for weeks, I always get deeper into the character at that stage of the projects. It is a good confusion that helps the character become a priority.

What is it like being the 4th in a dynamo cast on Exodus?

Luke: I was happy to be there….hit the ground running but once we got started if felt very organic and a great set to be on, mainly because the director “r.ellis frazier” was bloody cool and had a sense of calm and trust about him. he allowed the actors to really invent and care about the project.

Any funny stories you can share with us that happen in Mexico or Baton Rogue film set?

Luke: When I was filming Blood Out, I was doing a scene on the Harley Davidson, it was night, and raining so hard. There was a police car escorting the scene, then a crew van and the camera vehicle and finally me. I was being filmed riding the bike, all three vehicle in front of me ran the red light because we had police officers with us. I didn’t run it because I wanted to stay alive and not get hit by cross traffic. I am at the lights wet and covered in tattoos without a crash helmet when 2 police cars pull up to me open the doors guns at the ready, i shouted, “I’m making a F’ing movie” I thought, after all the crazy things I’ve done, please don’t let me get shot for pretending to be in a gang! Another police car come screaming to a halt, thankfully it was our escort vehicle he shouted, “there making a movie!” the other officer relaxed with the gun and the search lights and said, “yeah I guess I can see that!” next time I will ask if they can put it over the radios, might save the confusion, and my beating heart from exploding.
