Castille was set to be a stunt double for the lead actor in the film when the lead actor pulled out. Soon, Castille got a life-changing phone call.

“Three days before production they called and said, ‘We’re looking at a few new guys and you’re one of them.’ So I went back through a three-day audition process and at the end of those three days, I was the one,” Castille said.
