Whatever, I swallowed my pride and remembered the policy Aaron Ray and Max Wong have always hammered into me: Take every meeting, because you never know what's going to happen.
I drove down to Hermosa Beach with Bunny, and literally the first thing I said to him was:
"So, you're too good to read for me?"
I was kidding with him (sort of), and Matt profusely apologized, and explained what happened. Basically, even though he really liked the script, he said the Tucker character could be done two ways; one where Tucker is Tucker, but still ultimately redeemable and you love him (the way we are doing it), or another way where Tucker is just a ****ing ******* and a ******. He was worried that we were going to do the script the second way, and he didn't want to be in a movie like that. Pretty reasonable position, actually.
I spent the next hour talking about my vision for the movie and the character, until he finally stopped me:
"I knew as soon as I met you that you had the right energy and you'd do the movie the right way. Of course I'll come read for it. I just wasn't sure before."
