James: RAMI, YOUR BIG BREAK
YOU WERE IN STEPHEN SPIELBERG
AND TOM HANKS MINI SERIES "THE
PACIFIC."
THAT HAD TO BE DAUNTING.
WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER FROM THE
FIRST MEETING?
>> WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT
THIS.
WE SHOT THIS IN AUSTRALIA.
I WENT IN, IT WAS A NUMBER OF
AUDITIONS I HAD.
FINALLY I HAD THIS SCREEN TEST
WITH JOE, THE LEAD IN IT THE KID
FROM "JURASSIC PARK" STEPHEN HAD
WORKED WITH HIM.
NOW WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER IN
THIS FILM ABOUT "QUEEN."
HE PLAYS THE BASSIST.
I GO IN TO DO MY SCREEN TEST IN
FRONT OF HANKS AND THE
PRODUCERS.
USUALLY WHEN YOU HAVE AN
AUDITION THERE IS A YOUNG
ASSISTANT HOLDING THE CAMCORDER
FRESH OUT OF COLLEGE.
THIS PERSON WAS QUITE A BIT
OLDER.
SILVER HAIRED GENTLEMAN.
HALF WAY THROUGH I GO, HOLY
[BEEP] THAT'S STEPHEN SPIELBERG,
FILMING US.
IT WAS A MOMENT.
I THOUGHT JUST KEEPING TALKING.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT COMES
OUT.
HOPEFULLY IT'S THE LINES.
DON'T STOP.
>> James: THEY MUST BE
INCREDIBLY PROUD ABOUT YOUR
CAREER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
>> YA, MAN.
I HAVE KEPT IN TOUCH WITH TOM.
SO LOVEY, TOM.

>> WE -- HE JUST SAID TOM AND I
ARE SO PROUD OF YOU, A COUPLE OF
YEARS AGO.
IT'S JUST, I CON OF BELIEVED
GROWING UP IN THE VALLEY AND
KNOWING I WOULD BE IN HOLLYWOOD
JUST TWO SECONDS AWAY THIS WOULD
ALL HAPPEN AT SOME POINT.
>> James: NOBODY DESERVE IT'S
MORE THAN YOU.
