“That’s lunch! Be back in one hour. That includes traveling time!” Jackson, the director, shouted through his megaphone on the set of Rome’s movie.
The scene they’d been working on was particularly difficult, so he was ready for the break. When he’d originally auditioned for this movie, he’d wanted to play this part because it would push his acting to new levels, but it was also emotionally draining, so he was glad to have a few minutes to go into his trailer and recoup. While most of the rest of the cast and crew would choose to go out and grab something to eat at a local restaurant, Rome would spend his hour focusing on the next scene while he nibbled on a sandwich from craft services.
