Speaker 1: of time. But then after that I went into playing

8
00:00:28,121 --> 00:00:31,241

Speaker 2: Like I've never seen you swear so much in a

39

Speaker 1: oh yeah yeah yeah yeah. And the reason is is

47
00:02:17,041 --> 00:02:19,161
Speaker 1: because I was working with some really good people too.

48
00:02:19,201 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: You know. The great thing about the training Gangster, I

49
00:02:22,441 --> 00:02:24,561
Speaker 1: know you're going to go, oh yeah, I'm softening it up, mate.

50
00:02:25,161 --> 00:02:27,921
Speaker 1: I've been pretty blessed, right, I've been very blessed that

51
00:02:28,041 --> 00:02:29,921
Speaker 1: a lot of the times, the people that I work

52
00:02:30,001 --> 00:02:33,761
Speaker 1: with are just being like down to earth, down to earth,

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,721
Speaker 1: and we're all there for a common purpose, just to

54
00:02:36,761 --> 00:02:39,721
Speaker 1: do the best we possibly can. You generally find that

55
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,681
Speaker 1: I generally find that a lot of the stuff that

56
00:02:42,721 --> 00:02:46,161
Speaker 1: I have been lucky enough to have done, we are

57
00:02:46,641 --> 00:02:49,401

58
00:02:49,561 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: really want to do the best we can. I treat

59
00:02:52,201 --> 00:02:55,241
Speaker 1: every job like it's my last and that's it. You know,

60
00:02:55,321 --> 00:02:57,401

61
00:02:57,441 --> 00:02:59,441
Speaker 1: with you, So the last thing I did was was

62
00:02:59,441 --> 00:03:01,441
Speaker 1: Home and Away. I haven't worked for five years, and

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,721
Speaker 1: I treat that job.

64
00:03:03,281 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: What have you been doing? Lining up potentially? Yeah, down

65
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,001

Speaker 1: I like, yeah, so yeah, no, I've been doing my

67
00:03:11,561 --> 00:03:13,801
Speaker 1: weddings of that. But yeah, so but like I put

68
00:03:13,881 --> 00:03:18,761
Speaker 1: everything I possibly could in playing dimitipoolas, which is you know,

69
00:03:18,881 --> 00:03:21,041
Speaker 1: he was in Home and Away a while back, and

70
00:03:21,081 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: he came back again, and I treat it as if

71
00:03:23,641 --> 00:03:25,161
Speaker 1: my last gig. You know, that's it.

72
00:03:25,921 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: Did you like coming a week?

73
00:03:27,121 --> 00:03:29,881
Speaker 1: Oh yeah? Oh yeah, I'll tell you why I liked

74
00:03:29,881 --> 00:03:33,601
Speaker 1: Home and Away. Everyone turns their nose up at Home

75
00:03:33,641 --> 00:03:36,241
Speaker 1: and Away, right, and they go don away the stupid

76
00:03:36,281 --> 00:03:38,601
Speaker 1: solid lines. They always say the same things. But I'll

77
00:03:38,601 --> 00:03:42,521
Speaker 1: tell you what if you actually put yourself there and

78
00:03:42,641 --> 00:03:47,761
Speaker 1: see what those guys go through, like for one week, right,

79
00:03:48,281 --> 00:03:51,681
Speaker 1: you would literally you just you'd fall down with exhaustion,

80
00:03:52,761 --> 00:03:56,121
Speaker 1: being exhausted, kind of save the bloody word. Right. The

81
00:03:56,161 --> 00:03:59,761
Speaker 1: reason is they are doing like literally from five o'clock

82
00:03:59,761 --> 00:04:01,321
Speaker 1: in the mor or some Not only that, but they're

83
00:04:01,361 --> 00:04:06,041
Speaker 1: doing like five to six grips in one hit. Like

84
00:04:06,761 --> 00:04:09,921
Speaker 1: one minute they're like script number six and then the

85
00:04:09,961 --> 00:04:12,801
Speaker 1: next minute they're script number one. Next day there is

86
00:04:12,881 --> 00:04:15,241
Speaker 1: script number two. They're coming back to script number six.

87
00:04:15,601 --> 00:04:17,481
Speaker 1: Like you just they're just over the place, you know,

88
00:04:17,881 --> 00:04:20,161
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like I'm not the

89
00:04:20,201 --> 00:04:23,961
Speaker 1: exact that they're once, yeah, but they're just from They're

90
00:04:24,001 --> 00:04:26,561
Speaker 1: like from here to there. Then they're coming back and

91
00:04:26,641 --> 00:04:28,681
Speaker 1: they're going there. They're going here and they're going there.

92
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,281
Speaker 1: Myself being you know, like just a guest you that's

93
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,921
Speaker 1: coming in, right, I can have my stuff prepared, but

94
00:04:34,041 --> 00:04:36,441
Speaker 1: can you imagine doing that for five like some of

95
00:04:36,481 --> 00:04:38,041
Speaker 1: those guys have been doing it for how many years?

96
00:04:38,121 --> 00:04:38,601
Speaker 3: Yeah?

97
00:04:38,761 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Ten years? No wonder why they run around like like

98
00:04:42,201 --> 00:04:45,401
Speaker 1: crazy because they're just where are you supposed to be? Like,

99
00:04:45,721 --> 00:04:47,921
Speaker 1: how do you keep tabs of the character? You can't.

100
00:04:48,481 --> 00:04:51,441
Speaker 2: You just can't name of your top three shows that

101
00:04:51,481 --> 00:04:55,521
Speaker 2: you've done, the top three of everything you've done, namely

102
00:04:55,641 --> 00:04:57,401
Speaker 2: your first to seconds or third.

103
00:04:57,681 --> 00:04:58,681
Speaker 1: I can't, Yes she can.

104
00:04:58,841 --> 00:04:59,721
Speaker 3: I can't, Yes she can.

105
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: I can't.

106
00:05:01,161 --> 00:05:01,641
Speaker 3: Yeah she can.

107
00:05:01,721 --> 00:05:04,241
Speaker 1: I can't because they're all unique in their own way. Well,

108
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,121
Speaker 1: just fucking name you man. You know what I'm gonna

109
00:05:08,161 --> 00:05:09,641
Speaker 1: go with the Let me just let me just let

110
00:05:09,681 --> 00:05:12,921
Speaker 1: me just say right, you cannot name the top three

111
00:05:13,001 --> 00:05:16,321
Speaker 1: that doesn't exist because each role has its own unique thing.

112
00:05:16,561 --> 00:05:18,321
Speaker 3: You must have a favor.

113
00:05:18,361 --> 00:05:21,481
Speaker 1: You're done walk the talk, Joey Grass I can tell

00:05:31,241 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: That's just that, I mean, I was I did something with.

117
00:05:34,361 --> 00:05:35,961
Speaker 2: The rest of you're all dead in so well they

118
00:05:36,001 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: can't be that one's so you're playing at dead person

119
00:05:40,281 --> 00:05:41,841
Speaker 2: most of them. You said at the start, Yeah, I know,

120
00:05:41,961 --> 00:05:43,481
Speaker 2: but you know what I mean, Like I reckon to

121
00:05:43,521 --> 00:05:46,801
Speaker 2: me my top three? Yeah, okay for you hit me up?

122
00:05:47,521 --> 00:05:51,561

123
00:05:51,601 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: hundred percent, why couldn't you tell me that?

124
00:05:53,281 --> 00:05:55,801
Speaker 1: But because I agree with you, I agree with you,

125
00:05:55,841 --> 00:05:57,521
Speaker 1: But I don't agree that it's the top three?

126
00:05:58,041 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: Can't I would say the Brock or Catching my Lap?

127
00:06:07,121 --> 00:06:10,801
Speaker 1: No, but what about Comboardino? He was great? You know

128
00:06:10,801 --> 00:06:11,201
Speaker 1: what I mean?

129
00:06:11,281 --> 00:06:13,001
Speaker 3: And I don't want to said Heartbreak High because that

130
00:06:13,121 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: made you.

131
00:06:14,681 --> 00:06:16,881

Speaker 1: not trying to fucking boast. I'm not trying to boast. Man.

134
00:06:22,161 --> 00:06:23,561
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, man, my career

135
00:06:23,601 --> 00:06:25,801
Speaker 1: goes for thirty years, how do you put it down

136
00:06:25,841 --> 00:06:28,881
Speaker 1: to the top three? You just can't. You can't. It's

137
00:06:28,921 --> 00:06:33,841
Speaker 1: impossible sorting to be a hot shot. But that's a

138
00:06:33,921 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: real holley of it.

139
00:06:35,001 --> 00:06:37,281
