And Cody was mature beyond his years which really helped because he really understood it. And uh, and the other thing uh so there was a long process of taking through all of that and getting you know relating it experiences and encouraging them to hang out with each other you know just on there down time and and to keep keep uh Cody the kid you know going. Viggo was teaching him all of the sword moves from you know Lord of the Rings so you can imagine for Cody how exciting all of that was. And then of course being out in the elements 80% exterior, 50 locations, the middle of winter you know that intense you know and that became being in the real thing and surrounded by the real thing it became a third character for them.
