That's nine hundred thousand US dollars. 136 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: We saved the production because we knocked that seventeen pages 137 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: out one eleven takes twenty three minutes per week, twenty 138 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: three minutes of talking and. 139 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 5: Arguing and passion and all that.

What's what's going on? 174 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 3: And he just said to me that when he was 175 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: a very young actor, he did a movie and I 176 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: think he was referring to what's the one something about 177 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: is a dog day afternoon or something when he's screaming 178 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: in the street. He he just said, when he did 179 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 3: that movie, what he thought he was doing and what 180 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: came out in the film was completely different. So he 181 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: sort of realized that, you know, film as a director's medium, 182 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: and what he likes to do is basically give the 183 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: director a complete alphabet for every scene. 184 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 5: Why now, wow. 185 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 3: But I have a different approach because I say, you're 186 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: giving up responsibility for the character, and I want to 187 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: take full responsibility. 188 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 7: Cut any way, which way, then cut it. 189 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: That's right, and they can sort of flip it on 190 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 3: its head. But if you're not in agreement with the 191 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: director what the character is supposed to be doing, then 192 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: you're kind of giving up a lot of what your 193 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: job is supposed to be. Now, I've seen our work 194 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 3: in the theater, because that's where he came from. 195 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 5: I saw him do The. 196 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: Irresistible Rise of Alberto Yui or whatever that plays called. 197 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 5: He was phenomenal.

There's no way of 349 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: opening the can unless you have this machine. But you 350 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 3: put it into the nitrous machine, you pull the lever down. 351 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: It pierces at both ends, activates the nitrous that's existing 352 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: already in the beer.

So we just sat there. Now, 359 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 3: normally you'd go around politely, you know, visiting everybody else. 360 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 3: Long time ago, I realized that if I'm at a party, 361 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: if I just sit still, eventually I've talked to everybody, 362 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 3: you know, come back, come around. 363 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 5: So at one point in time, we. 364 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 3: Had but Chelly and Johnny Depp and Zuko is this 365 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 3: huge Italian artist, and Placida Domingo all just sitting in 366 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 3: this act Co dressing room, this tiny little room.

Because you've done so many things. 373 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 8: In situations where you can't believe you're possibly there. And 374 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 8: I think there was a lot of pinch yourself moments 375 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 8: when obviously you were younger getting into the industry. 376 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 10: But are you still amazed? Yeah, all the time. That's 377 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 10: the pleasure walk out on stage exactly on the key. 378 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 10: So the way you're saying it is exactly in my mind. 379 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 10: And he does he did this thing, and I'm not 380 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 10: sure because they made a movie out of it. 381 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 5: It's actually been released in the Fielders.

At 383 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 5: some point. 384 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 3: It's thirty years of his career, you know, and life 385 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 3: and connections with people and everything, and for whatever reason, 386 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 3: he feels the sort of a connection with me because 387 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 3: I think he did a version of the Gladiator themes 388 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 3: at some point in time. Okay, So you know, look, 389 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 3: he's a genuinely beautiful bloke, you know, and his wife's fantastic. 390 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 3: His kids so balanced and gorgeous.

Virginia, 392 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: she's so beautiful in her her voice. When she sings, 393 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 3: it's like, oh my god, she's amazing. She came talk 394 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 3: to me. She just walked straight up to He said, hello, 395 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 3: I am Virginia.

I said hello. 398 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 3: But when we left that night, I said to you, 399 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 3: I'm definitely going to be seeing you again. I know 400 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: you are going to be achieving some incredible amazing. 401 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 6: We had a similar experience with Huge Starza and that's 402 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 6: when we saw indoor garden party at the Bridge Hotel 403 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 6: at Rosel And you know what I remember from that 404 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 6: night because it's a great pub. 405 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: I love that pub. 406 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 4: It's around the corner from where I live. 407 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 6: And it was the unfortunate thing that night in the 408 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 6: front bar, you were just about to play and the 409 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 6: Rabbit O's were playing that night and you just got 410 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 6: knocked off and Russell I was waiting to see. Does 411 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 6: your demeanor change when you're just about to go on 412 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 6: stage and you found out that your footy team has 413 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 6: just lost a game? 414 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 4: Does it affect you. 415 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 8: Because there were a few people standing around at the 416 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 8: front bar watching the footy waiting way through. 417 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 3: It is what it is that I can't affect that outcome. 418 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 3: You know, if I'm going to get passionate about something 419 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: is something that I can probably affect the outcome off. Yeah, 420 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 3: so you sort of just have to accept what's going on. 421 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 3: A long time ago, you know, I'd be going to 422 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: games when my kids were little and stuff, and I 423 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 3: realized that by showing my passion in the grandstands, I 424 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 3: was potentially giving the media outlets a way of mentally 425 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 3: affecting the team. So, you know, because there was all 426 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 3: these photophs of me going roll the imaginary referee, and 427 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 3: I just thought, okay, I'm going to stop doing that. 428 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 3: So that's when it's sort of like I just sort 429 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 3: of went like a little butdder. If I go to 430 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: a game, you know, I might just see what happens 431 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 3: and then you go in a backstage and you can 432 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 3: swear and everything you make. Yeah, but when I'm watching 433 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 3: the game. I try and keep cool because, you know, 434 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 3: I think about it from the players perspective. They don't 435 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 3: want to see the boss looking like he's pissed off, 436 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 3: you know, on the Monday in the Monday newspaper. 437 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 5: So you've got to be cool about it. 438 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 7: And even if you're not pissed off, they're going to 439 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 7: write that you are, you know what I mean, it's 440 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 7: not even it's. 441 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 5: Got to be balanced about it, you know. Let the 442 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,239 Speaker 5: players do their thing. 443 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: Let's talk into a garden party, pros and cons. 444 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 8: A new album we're about to play, let You Light Shine? 445 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: Now?

Who who are we kidding? 453 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 3: We don't do any of that, you know, we don't 454 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 3: have any kind of marketing. 455 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 5: We don't. 456 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 3: The only thing is that if you like it, you 457 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 3: like it, and it's about it's enjoying it. 458 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 5: This is the FS with Cape Ritchie podcast. 459 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 2: Hey can we ask too you're talking about Ed Sheeran 460 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 2: and the drinking some guinness.

And there's this Irish drink called pochin, 486 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 3: which is more of a hallucinogen than an alcohol. You 487 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 3: have to be very careful. It can take you to 488 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 3: some fun places. And so he would make, you know, 489 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 3: pochein out of his rotten potatoes, and Fridays all his 490 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 3: friends would come around with their old medicine bottles and 491 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 3: stuff and fill up for the weekend, you know. And 492 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: his granddaughter said when she was a really little girl, 493 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 3: when I get older, I'm going to legitimize Granddad's business. 494 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 3: And then she became and went to law school, become lawyers. 495 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 3: It's like high powered corporate job.

That feeling like when you 545 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 7: walk onto set, regardless of the role you're playing, what's 546 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 7: that kind of feeling when you're there and you with 547 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 7: the crew and you've got a script in your hand 548 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 7: and you're part of a creative process. Because that's probably 549 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 7: the thing that's hard to eventually say I'm not going 550 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 7: to do that again. 551 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 3: You know, I never walk onto a set without knowing 552 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 3: exactly I'm there, which is what I was getting at, 553 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 3: you know, because when the job gets demanding and you've 554 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 3: got to get up at four am, you know, constantly, 555 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 3: and you guys know about that. 556 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 5: You know. 557 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 3: The thing that drives me is I know why I'm there, 558 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 3: you know, and then in that day, I go, what 559 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 3: I do? Oh, what's that scene? I get to say that, like, 560 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 3: you know, well, I'm you know, there's a purpose for 561 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 3: me when I arrive at the set. Now, for sure, 562 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 3: I do think that there might be a time where 563 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 3: I go, maybe I do one every two years or 564 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 3: something like that, you know, or slow down or not, 565 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 3: who knows.

But funnily enough, 684 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 3: I'm doing it again in a job next year, so 685 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 3: it must have worked to a certain degree. 686 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 2: What's the most challenging accent you've done? You know before? 687 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 3: The funny thing is that it's not necessarily just a 688 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 3: singular accent. It can be difficult. Yeah, Like you take 689 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 3: a guy like Jeffrey Wygan and the Insider. Now, Jeffrey 690 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 3: Wygan was actually from the Bronx, but then he spent 691 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 3: a big chunk of his life in Japan, like ten years, 692 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 3: and then when he started working in the tobacco industry, 693 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 3: he was living in Lousville, Kentucky. So the words, the 694 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 3: words to do with tobacco and tobacco science. He only 695 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,719 Speaker 3: knew those words in a Southern accent. 696 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 4: So I try and. 697 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 3: Break that mathematics down or robin Hood, right. Remember I 698 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 3: got slagged off by the English because they didn't agree 699 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 3: with the accent in Robinhood. But they obviously didn't watch 700 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 3: the movie and know what the story was, because you know, yes, 701 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 3: he came from Barnsdale or something like that, which is 702 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 3: a small northern town outside York, right. But when he's 703 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 3: five or six, he's taken from York right by friends 704 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 3: of his father's, guys that would eventually beat Tenplas and 705 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 3: take into France, you know, and as a child then 706 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 3: is sort of like seconded into the sort of an 707 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 3: army environment and they march from France to the Middle East. 708 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 3: There's the you know, big to do that goes on 709 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 3: there with the second what's the name, and then they 710 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 3: much all the way back, you know, and you know, 711 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 3: he arrives back into England as a forty five year 712 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 3: old man, and then they said, oh, your York accent's incorrect. 713 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 5: Watch the movie. 714 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 3: So what I had to do with that is I 715 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 3: was like, well, who's who's around him? What are his influences. 716 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 3: What is he here? 717 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 5: You know? 718 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 3: So I actually did this sort of thing. And the 719 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 3: thing is, as soon as you say that, guy, that's 720 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 3: just an excuse, mate. 721 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 5: No, mate, it's the mathematics of my job. It's the story. 722 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 2: The story. 723 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 5: It was like, what are the influencers around him? 724 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 3: You know? So he actually does not hear his mother 725 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 3: tongue so to speak for you know, forty years. 726 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what you Sorry, that's what you were talking 727 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 7: before about having to be so precise with all of 728 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 7: the the skills you have, whether it's you know, weaponry 729 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 7: or accents.

Yeah, well wondering you have held on too as 738 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 6: your Australian accent, because that would have been beneficial for 739 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 6: you over the years. 740 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 2: I mean around especially around Hollywood. 741 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 5: I thought I was a barista. 742 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 2: They're everywhere, are they. 743 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 3: Not? 744 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 5: For my job? 745 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 6: The Americans love the Australian accent. I mean, you would 746 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 6: have used it over the years to get you into things. 747 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 3: And for sure, exactly back when I went to Los Angeles, 748 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 3: it was definitely not a plus. It wasn't a positive. 749 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 3: But you know, I've seen very interesting things happen. So 750 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 3: I like when I'm first in America, like ninety two 751 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 3: something like that, right, and. 752 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 5: People say blah blah blah. 753 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 3: I go, yeah, no worries, and they go, excuse me, 754 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 3: what did you say? 755 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 5: No worries? 756 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 3: They go, oh, I like that, no worries, No worries. 757 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 3: Everything's going to be great because I got no worries, 758 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 3: you know.
