I was an extra in the Dark Knight Rises, one of like 500 Gotham city cops in the Wall St Brawl scene. We had plenty of chairs and tables in our staging area, in an abandoned building an anarchist tried to blow up in 1920, blocks away from Occupy Wall St. https://twitter.com/theplaylist/status/1277683521721491456

In between takes, while dressed up as Gotham city police officers, some retired detectives showed me some secret NYPD techniques for choking people with a nightstick while laughing about it...

And I swear this is true, the guy who roped me into being a Gotham City cop in The Dark Knight Rises, who you can see next to Matthew Modine in a few shots, would later break into a N Korean embassy in Spain and then go on the run as a fugitive.

Yeah this is a true story and no I haven’t seen or heard from him in years. https://www.wsj.com/articles/inside-the-covert-group-threatening-to-bring-down-north-korea-11585923813

About halfway through the very expensive day I guess Nolan saw some playback cause all the ADs had to tell us this was being shot in IMAX we had to stop smiling and laughing while we were fighting.
