"While we were filming in Atlanta, I had a few people over to watch football and Mackie was the first one to show up. I didn’t know he didn’t know what was going to happen," Chris said. Continuing he added, “I say, ‘Hey man, isn’t that scene fantastic?’ and he said, ‘What scene?’ And I said, ‘The scene where I give you the shield!’ And he said, ‘You’re giving me the shield?’”
