“So Arnold is such a huge inspiration for me,” Sandberg said. “When I made the short, I had quotes from Arnold, I read his biography, and I listened to his talks. That was just like a thing that kept me motivated. And then my manager mentioned that he’s friends with Arnold’s lawyer. I asked if there was any way to get him to see the short. And he’s like, ‘Yeah, he said he loves it.’ I was like, ‘What!?’ He set up a lunch meeting when I was in L.A., and he told me he loved the short because of the over-the-top violence and comedy. So I wrote this part for him and he came on board. Which was just unbelievable.”
