No way,” Hurwitz, who still can’t believe his own luck, recalled them saying. Then, he had a chance lunch with Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis, who also happens to be good pals with “Green Book” director Peter Farrelly, and got his name to the man in charge. He saw “Green Book” for the first time on opening day at the movies, like everybody else, and had one critique — his scene got cut down.
