James McAvoy says he starred in X-Men first class because he had no money in the bank “My first child came, and I neither myself nor my wife at the time worked for about six months to a year. We just stayed at home and looked after him. And I, we weren't like, we weren't penniless. We didn't have any debt, but we had pretty much nothing in the bank… X-Men came in. I went, "Where's it filming?" They went, "Pinewood, it's 40 minutes from my front door." I was like, "Awesome." And I was also like, "X-Men, great!" I loved the cartoon when I was a kid. That'd be brilliant. I loved the movies that came out in 2000 and Bryan's original movies were brilliant. But I was like, this is a three-picture deal, they're paying well, it's 40 minutes from my front door, I'm a fan of the original material, I get to be young Jean-Luc Xavier. And I was like, this is a no-brainer. So my agent called me, she was like, "What do you think?" And I was like, "It's a work of genius, we're doing it!”

I love that you’ve never let your mediocre publication record or below average teaching evaluations interfere with your willingness to offer advice to our junior faculty.
