26
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: back in the biking war days.

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: Oh Jesus, that's while ago.

28
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he had an accent. I did it on stocket.

29
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: That's when I fell in love with you. Oh, thank

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: you for seeing you be an angry X serviceman just

31
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: trying to put a meal on the table. Yes, perfect

32
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: role for you.

33
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: Thank you very much. Mate. Well, look I grew up

34
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 4: around a lot of effective men and my old manners

35
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: in the army for twenty years, so he yeah, so

36
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: we moved on your army by a.

37
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Lot about it.

38
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: Yeah. So that was the sort of genesis of the

39
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: of the story, was writing about things. I know, we

40
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 4: haven't hear anyone over the head with a film. It

41
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 4: just sits over everything. So when you consider there's a

42
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 4: lot of talk these days about toxic masculinity, which gets

43
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: thrawn around and which is really divisive. And when you

44
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: consider these men who present as masculine people and unfortunately

45
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: and epidemic proportions, they're taking their own lives.

46
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of.

47
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 4: Stuff that lies in between. For me, it was dealing

48
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: with those issues and trying to represent those issues in

49
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: a very authentic light.

50
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: Do you know what's interesting too about you? From Sam?

51
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: And also we had Russell Crowe on the show the

52
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: other day. We were talking off air and he was

53
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: saying about your work and your commitment to it and

54
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: how much riding you do. But he also said, different

55
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: to the roles he plays, he's just a big, softy yeah.

56
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 4: Look, and I did a job with Russ as well,

57
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 4: and he's well, Russell shows what he wants to show.

58
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 4: But in between all that, he's a really really compassionate

59
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 4: good heart. I mean, I have a brother who's suffering

60
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 4: from mode and neuron disease, and all I asked presented

61
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 4: at a Russell. The help he gave me was extraordinary.

62
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: So and Sam was saying, you know, hey, I know

63
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 3: you as the voice on Fox Sports and every time

64
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: Tim Zoo has a fight, Ladni Nable's voice pops up.

65
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: Can you remember some of the lines with big bouts

66
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: coming up? Let's say FITZI was fighting Whipper and you and.

67
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: You were promoting that, Mattie, I mean.

68
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: What would I say fixis a whipper little man versus

69
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 4: big man. Only one winner. I'm on whipper, Thank you mate,

70
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 4: you go on the big man.

71
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: You were down with the rabbit, O's weren't you?

72
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

73
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 4: I played at many in South said I was Manley junior,

74
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: so right, played a little bit of first go there

75
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: at Manley and then went to South Sydney, played a

76
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: little bit there. It was never I was a carpenter.

77
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 4: You know, so your work and there was no full

78
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 4: time gig or anything like that. It was And then

79
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: I boxed until a box as a kid, and then

80
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: fought until I was like thirty one.

81
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: And then how did you get into acting?

82
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 4: Then I wrote something and then revisited it years later,

83
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: and I went out with a couple of other mates

84
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: and raised one point six million dollars.

85
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: Played the role, and.

86
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: Very shortly after that I was in America working. So

87
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 4: it's a very very unconventional sort of path, but it's

88
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: the way.

89
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: You got a romantic comedy next, or what are you doing?

90
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure I'm going to get cast in one

91
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: of them.

92
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: So he congratulations on transition, but.
