When I booked the show, I 112 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: didn't know who was cast besides me. So they picked 113 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: me up at the airport in Porto Ayata and they 114 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: take me to the van.

You have done 313 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: something really brilliant with this character memo, and I'll tell 314 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: you what it is. I love actors who can do 315 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: this and pull it off. There's you in that character. 316 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: You bring a part of you into that character. Without you, 317 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: that character would not be the same. 318 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 3: It's just the most lovable, happiest person. And it's just 319 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: so I just talk to you here and watch you. 320 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 3: They're doing that. 321 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 2: Oh my god, that that means the world. And I mean, 322 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: I don't mean to brag, but the character did change 323 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: a lot from its original conception. I guess he was 324 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: supposed to be the way when I auditioned, it was 325 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: described as like a Jonah Hill in Super Bad, that 326 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: type of character, so a little more of like a 327 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: little rascal, I guess, and dirty. And but when when 328 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 2: we were filming the pilot, I just kept finding these 329 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: moments of this kid who comes from pretty much nothing. 330 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 2: He literally has one line when he says, my family 331 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 2: only has one chair. He doesn't have anything, and then 332 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: he's discovering this magical world that he's always dreamed about 333 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: with his best friend. So I just intuitively I started 334 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 2: leaning a lot into that kind of like naiveness and 335 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: exciting excitement about life. So they kind of like took 336 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: a different root with the character. 337 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: Well you you own it. I mean, it's definitely you. 338 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: Thank you. I mean, you know. 339 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: It's it says a lot about you. I think I 340 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: felt like I knew you before you even walk through 341 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: the door. And you should never do that with a character. 342 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's like we've met we've 343 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: met actors before who are nothing like the characters they play, 344 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: and that's just good.
