Holbrook stated that he learned several acting lessons from Harrison Ford while filming Dial of Destiny, including how "[he] definitely taught me that you do not walk away unless you know in your gut that you got it and there's not a false note."[21]Dial of Destiny was also Holbrook's second collaboration with Logan director James Mangold; Holbrook defended the movie's conclusion, stating that "when I saw [the finale], I was surprised that it grabbed me by the throat. I was a little emotional, even though I’m so close to it.” [22]
