What is it like seeing yourself on screen?

Drew: Watching it was weird; you know, watching myself 50 feet tall. I was hanging out on the set for a lot of the filming even if I wasn't working, so I remember what I was doing when this scene was shot or what was going on when that scene was shot. I'm my worst critic. So it was just very weird to watch it because it's crazy and cool at the same time.

What are you doing next?

Drew: I'm doing a movie called The Shags, which starts filming in March. I'm actually playing the lead in that movie, so I'm really excited about it. It's another film based on a true story.

Whose career you would like to emulate?

Drew: Cate Blanchett. I love the choices she's made, and I think she's an amazing, versatile actress. I read an interview with her recently where she was talking about how she places her family above her career. She's so incredible.

Would you turn down a role if it compromised your marriage or your faith?

Drew: Peter and I sit down with every script that I get before I even audition for anything, and we talk about it. I find out where it will be, and how long it will take. We talk about it and make tough decisions about "Is this a compromise that I'm not willing to make, or is it OK?" We spend a lot of time praying about it. I really do desire to be an artist who honors God with my work. It's limiting to some degree but at the same time it doesn't matter because the right jobs will come along. I absolutely believe that and we've been totally blessed so far.
