Well, anyway, how 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.080 did you get your career started? How did it all begin? 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.840 I started in Australia. I worked in the theater for 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.679 a few years and there was very limited opportunities there 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.600 for like film and TV at the time, so I 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.920 thought it was time to make the jump. I moved 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.480 to La just kind of want to win. Didn't have 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.880 didn't have much money to know a visa. So yeah, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.320 I just came out here. I was crashing on couches 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.480 and I got an agent, and that agent going this 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.800 audition for sure. I called Gilmore Girls, which at the 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:54.360 time I never heard of, and they said to me, look, 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.840 we want to give you this audition just to let 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.120 you know. I've already pretty much cast the guy, but 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:00.680 they want to see some other guy, so we're just 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.440 going to send you, but just let him be known 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.240 they've got. So I'm like, all right, great, So go 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.720 in there and I meet the casting directors and there 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:14.320 wonderful and I meet Amy and the role was for 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.320 Logan and at the time, Matt Zuker was already in 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.079 the room, and he was in the room for probably 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:23.600 about forty five minutes. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.799 After take take that's a that's a bad feeling when 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.560 you're sitting waiting to go. That is not a good feeling. 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.680 I've been there before, but I already knew that that 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.600 they had the guy, So for me, it was just 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.320 kind of like a ghost sing, you know, back in 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:41.880 the day, that's the way I was going to make 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:42.680 the casting director. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:45.760 So I went in there. You know, I was in 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:51.760 the ninety seconds tops, and I swalked out the door. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.280 And then Amy called up my agent and they said, 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.520 you know, we want to write a role for him. 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.440 He's going to be Logan's friend. And and it was 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.240 supposed to be I think one episode, one or two episodes, 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.400 and then it just kind of just kind of grew 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:05.680 from that. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.120 Was Amy in the room. Do you remember Amy? Do 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.240 you remember who was in the room. Jamie and Mara 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.360 casting directors, right. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.200 Yeah, and yeah Amy was in the room. 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:24.560 Yeah, yeah, those rooms. Man, you just can't tell sometimes, 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.479 you know, you think you're tanked and then you got 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.760 the job, no pun intended, or you think you did great, 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.000 and you're just like, yeah, no, they don't remember you. 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:39.080 You know, I have no idea. I was so Australian, 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.919 you know. I mean not that I'm less Australian, but 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.120 I just didn't understand how it worked in America. I 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:48.120 mean I walked in barefoot, like, because you know, I 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:49.520 come out of the theater. I was like, until I've 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.320 got the roll, I don't wear shoes, and I was 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.720 what I had. I had flip blocks on and I 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.599 walked in. I just kicked my flip flops off started 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.720 doing the audition and Jane to this daye she was like, 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.680 I'll never forget that kid walked in the room with 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:03.240 nice shoes. 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.520 There you go, that's it, you know, that's the moment 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:12.640 they knew, right, So it was originally written for Logan. 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.200 So tell us what happened after the audition. 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:21.920 I went home. My agent called me up a few 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.600 days later. They said they want you to do this show. 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.120 I'm like, great, let's do it. But they want you 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:31.000 to be Australian and I said no, and they said 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:32.560 what do you mean now? I was like, like, I 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.679 just got here. I don't want to be known playing 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.160 Australian character. I just want to just you know, come 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.920 in under the the American like everyone else. And they 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:42.479 went back and they said he doesn't want to do 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.160 it because he wants to be American. And they said, no, 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.480 we want him Australian. And then they I went back 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.040 and forth. My agent just went, you're an idiot, not 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.680 in the Union, you don't have a visa, may just 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.080 take it. I was like, and uh, there's you know, 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.159 the best decision, right. 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:02.880 And it's just for the one episode, but you ended 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.520 up doing gosh, let me look, I knew how many 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.600 episodes you did? Fifteen episodes. 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.839 Well, we were supposed to do the seventh season as well. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.760 We were written into Oh really yeah, yeah, we were 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.960 all in the seven Yeah, because I already knew. Oh, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.640 I was in the first three episodes of season seven, 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.600 and then Amy parted ways, right, I did rewrise and. 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:35.159 I took us out. That's all right, that's what was missing, man. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.720 You kick it off with the Light and Death Brigade 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.920 and you got something there, man. That was Those were 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.159 the those episodes were just they sparkled. They were so 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:45.760 much fun. 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:48.720 It was you know, it was fun. 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.440 Tell us about it. Tell us about shooting that stuff 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.800 and being on location and outside and jumping off that 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.120 platform and all that. Tell us about that. 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.839 You know, I didn't know any better. You know, I'd 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:05.240 come out of very very small budget. You know, a 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:10.280 high budget film in Australia was two million dollars and 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.400 it sulted if you were an actor in Australia. It's 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.680 because you want it to be, you know, because you weren't. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:21.080 You weren't making any money. You know, you tread the boards. 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.440 You're lucky to scrape by a couple hundred bucks a week. 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.760 You know, our furniture was milk rates, and you know, 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.520 it was just everything was so small, and and coming 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.840 out to America and then going to Warner Brothers, and 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.640 I remember one of the first scenes I had was 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:40.400 in exterior at Yale. So I kept thinking, well, God, 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.040 we're in la where are they going to shoot this, 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.360 Where are they going to find that kind of you know, 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.120 sandstone kind of building. And we go in and they 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:53.440 just built it on bloody set like this is America, 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.200 you know this. It was insane. It was just you 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.160 just you don't know until you know it, you know it. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.880 And the first director I had was Kenny or Taga. 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.920 Oh wow, that's good, look good, good fortune right there? 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.720 Yeah, Kenny. I mean, you know Kenny. Kenny comes from 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:17.040 this big musical background, you know, and you know, with 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:21.360 Michael Jackson did all these these musical films and dancing 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:26.240 films and whatnot. And and so the note I was 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:30.840 given was before I had started, was we want to 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:35.720 give the show a little bit of a little bit 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.920 of spunk, a little bit of spark, like a little 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.439 bit of grit, Like we wanted to bring something a 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.200 little different. And so I was like, all right, you know. 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.079 So I painted my nails and I was just trying 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:53.320 to just be loose and free, and Penny kept saying bigger, 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.360 you know, just go with it. Because I said big 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.880 he told me to rein it in wherever you want. 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.719 He was just just go go for it, all right, 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.880 this is the director. Do what he tells me. They're like, yeah, 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.640 it's like Fear and Loathing Las Vegas, and I haven't 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:13.439 seen the show, right, I'm just doing it and uh 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.280 and then like a week later, my agent calls and says, 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.800 you know, the studio, the studio just called us and 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:27.120 name just wanting to rain it in. I'm going to 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:32.360 get fired man. Oh so yeah. I was like, you know, 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.000 I was devastating such an I was like, well, I 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:40.160 just deal with The director told me said, yeah, nah, 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.679 don't do that. So I was like all right, but 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.800 we kind of just had fun. We could do it. 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.040 Amy just let us run a mark, anything we could add. 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.320 She let us do it, like any kind of physical stuff. 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:53.360 She let us do it. 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.600 So Kenny didn't even direct you to do like, well 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.640 we got the big takes, let's do sort of one 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.760 with a little less. No, it was all just go 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:08.640 go go right the other way. Oh man, Well it 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.560 all worked out like fifteen episodes. Pretty good, you know, 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.920 coming from a small role like that and you made 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.360 it your own and you made it bigger, and good 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.800 on you for that. So you'd been you'd been mostly 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.160 in the theater before. Did you find that it was 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.719 a hard transition coming into you know, had you been 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.920 in front of a camera before, a movie camera before? 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:37.800 I had limited I had, so I kind of got 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:43.360 the nuances of it. But the style of film and 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.880 TV in Australia is very very different to America. And 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.040 I don't want to say very very different to America, 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.719 what I will say is very very different to Gilmore Girls. 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.000 You know, as you know, Gilmore Girls was about you know, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.240 getting the lines word perfect and being you know, on 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:01.920 the money, on the mark, and it was just there 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:06.640 was a rhythm to it. Whereas in Oz the performance 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.560 was less about you know, here's the close up on you, 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.160 here's a close up on me. It was more about 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:18.760 what was happening in between. They really wanted authenticity. They 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.120 wanted that organic kind of performance, and there was a 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:27.120 rawness to it and it meant that, you know, if 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.839 if there was a little ad lb or if you 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.840 armed an ard or stepped on each other's lines, that's 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:38.199 what they wanted. So then that was gold. So it 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.440 took me a little while to adjust when I came 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:44.200 here with that stuff, you know, Like I remember saying 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:51.120 something like, you know, I'm going to the park and 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.480 on the set they came up to me and said, no, 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.880 I am you know like that sort of stuff. In 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.960 the first couple episodes, I'm good. I got that a lot, 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.520 and so that was an adjustment for me. Yeah, it 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.680 took me a second to figure that all out. And 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.400 also I think it took them a second to figure 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.640 out writing for Finn because I don't think they'd ever 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:18.000 heard an Australian before, so he was kind of his 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:23.040 manner was and his dialogue was more British, and it 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.200 was and it was oddly because as as it progressed, 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.360 I would find things that I was saying to the 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.240 crew all of a sudden appearing in the script, like 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.480 certain little words that I'm you know, like they were 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:39.720 picking up on the vernacular. And then apparently America had 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.400 at this scene with my accent, they couldn't understand me. 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.599 So I was doing a lot of ad r in 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.240 the beginning, and then people were complaining that I had 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.240 the worst Australian accent ever. 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:55.840 You got me and you're just getting re reamed from 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:57.400 the you can't win. 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.599 But you know, we figured it and it's kind of 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.280 like a happy meeting. But it took a couple of episodes, 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:03.040 I think in the beginning. 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.800 So what did you like about playing Fan? What did 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.000 you really thrive on? 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:22.400 You know, he was he was kind of like lovable song, 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.000 you know, and they have such fun characters to play 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.240 because there's that there's that depth. You know, most a 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.960 lot of the times, as you know, you you read 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.360 a character on the page and he's the good guy 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.960 or he's the bad guy. But when you have a 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.040 guy that kind of sort of does douchey things but 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.240 has a good heart, there's some sort of complexity to that. 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:50.240 There's there's a contrast. And it was just fun. It 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:54.439 was play. It was always play, and I got away 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.920 with murder and I think it was just because I 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.960 was Australian and I didn't know any better. I mean, 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.040 there was there was this thing on on set always 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.160 like somebody yell out why does he do it? And 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.480 the crew would go because he's Australian. I just go, 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:14.360 I'm sorry, you know, you know, and you couldn't get 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.760 away with half the stuff we did on set back then. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:21.960 But yeah, it was it was good. I mean, the 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.680 nights were long, as you know, they liked they like 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:26.520 to do another. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.400 Take, thirty more, forty more. 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.040 Sure, Yeah, I'm sure you got a lot more of it. Yeah. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.840 When we did the reunion, we're doing night shoots for 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.720 the dream sequence and we're in the middle of it 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:44.360 and uh and Amy goes one more and I'm like, 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.320 I'm like fifty feet away. I'm like amen, and she's 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.680 like yeah, and I go, We'll do as many as 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.640 you want, but we all know you don't want one more, 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:02.640 you know, And of course you did twenty more takes. Yeah, 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.680 God love. I mean, I owed my career to that woman. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:10.440 She wrote a role for me and she never gave 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.960 me a single note, not one. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:17.640 Yeah, you know, you're you're right about that. All the 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:24.280 main cast does too, especially because they this studio wanted names, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.160 they didn't want unknowns. And that was right about two 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.880 thousands of a time that film actress were crossing over 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:37.640 into TV. It wasn't so for voting anymore. And and 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.480 there was a lot of competition. I mean, it's just 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.080 like you couldn't get a TV roll. It was like, Oh, 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.120 Benjamin Bratt's gonna do it, and this guy's going to 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:46.640 do it, and this film guy's going to do it. 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.840 It's like, okay, So she fought for every single one 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.040 of us. So yeah, we owere our careers as well. 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:55.840 I mean, I know I feel you on that one, 0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:01.760 bud uh So you jump I jump jack big episode 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.320 you got introduced life and Death Brigade. What do you 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.680 remember about filming that? Where did you film it? What 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:10.920 do you remember about filming it? 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:19.440 We filmed it somewhere in the valley. You're gonna know this. 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.640 I don't remember it because I just moved to La 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.520 then and I've actually been around there. I want to 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.840 say it's somewhere around there's a lot somewhere around Agra Hills, Calabasas, 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:34.560 somewhere out there apparently Pleasantville out there or something. I'm 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:35.520 sure you've shot there. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.880 Oh yeah, there's there is. There is a movie ranch 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:40.560 out there somewhere. 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:46.520 Near Malibu Lake at this property there. The one thing 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:52.600 I do remember is we we had a lot to 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.120 shoot that day and we weren't going to get it 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.080 in the can. We're running out a lot and we 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:01.600 had the skirmish sequence, which involved couple of us shooting 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.120 with paintball guns, these guys flying through the air. 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.280 Funniest stuff. I mean, that was one of the funnier 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:09.520 things I've seen on that show. 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:16.480 Yeah, it was fun. And I believe the cinematographer said, 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:20.960 we don't have any time to shoot this. We're going 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.880 to shoot it. And the cinematographer said, to the best 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:29.520 of my knowledge, or we can't, and I think Amy said, 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:34.480 well we are, so you can go home. And we 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.879 shot the entire sequence in a oneer. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:43.320 Oh my, A wanner for the audience is there are 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:47.200 no cuts. It's like you're getting everything in one shot, 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.359 which is impossible to do. Everything has to come together 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.720 to accomplish that. Very courageous. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.640 Anyway, go ahead, And I you know, we were told 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.919 we had like fifteen minutes worth of life. So the 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.879 way it was the scene is basically and I'm going 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.280 to I'm going to tell you the scene from my 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:12.320 perspective because frankly, that's all I know is, you know, 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.159 I think Logan and Rory walk over. I have a 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:19.600 skirmish gun. I shoot some guy that's flying through the air. 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.080 I have one or two lines of dialogue with Logan 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.760 and Rory, and then I say something to effective. I 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:27.800 want to have a turn, as in being shot out 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:34.320 of the cannon. So then I run off camera. I 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.800 rip my jacket off, I take my shirt off, I 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:41.680 put another shirt on with squibs, and then they throw 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:45.040 me onto a gurney and then they run me straight 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.119 back through the scene. So I do it like a 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.680 costume change while they're shooting their dialogue, and we come 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.480 back through, and then they just went, yep, yeap, grab 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.919 some cutaways here, great, let's roll, and we a scene 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:06.760 with people flying through the air, props skirmish guns. Nick 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:10.040 had to hit him like Nick was the guy shooting 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.200 the gun and he had to hit the flying bodies. 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.280 If he didn't, we didn't have it. And then dialogue 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.200 for four characters in fifteen minutes flight. 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.320 Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish on a film 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.520 set when you have to, You have to right, everybody 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:32.440 figures it out. Suddenly there's no time, let's get it done. 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.479 I think that's what I think some of the really 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:40.199 great indie directors do that on their films. It's like 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:42.600 you listen, guys, you have one take. We're going to 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:44.359 do it in a wan er. We got to move on, 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.320 let's go, and then then the performances are just brilliant. 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:53.760 Right Clint, someone done m Clint Eastwood only does one tape. 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:57.640 That's what I right, I was. I was thinking of him, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:00.520 But also like you know, if you if you're on 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.159 a if you're in a film and you know you 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.960 got twenty days shoot or whatever, or you've got three 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.200 months shoot, you're still getting the movie in the camp 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:10.880 one way or another. 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:15.240 Yeah, you got to do it all right. Here Sarah 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:20.800 from des Moines, Iowa wants to know what your favorite 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.960 line was that you had to deliver it as a finn. 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.560 Oh wow, oh buttercup. 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.360 And in what kind of explain the context? 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:41.720 There's a scene where Rory is coming to the hospital 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:47.359 and Logan's in the hospital bed and I have a 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:54.639 scene with Allen who played Colin. But it took me 0:20:55.400 --> 0:21:00.800 probably I think in the two years on Gilmore Girls, 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:05.399 I was happy with three scenes maybe two and one 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.879 was with Ed and one was with Allen and that 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:10.600 was it. And we have this chunk of dialogue and 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:15.920 Rory's in and she's all mad at us, and I 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:19.400 can't remember the lines exactly, but there was a bit, 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.200 but we were we were on, you know, you know, 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:24.479 there's that magic in the bottle and sometimes you're on 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:27.600 and be a long while to figure it out. But 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:30.800 that scene, yeah, I mean, all the classic lines that 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:37.120 people quote from Finn Why you don't know at the time, right, 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:42.000 You're just you're just doing your dialogue and then and 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:43.320 then they come out and then all of a sudden, 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.680 they're like there. You know, they're still quoted fifteen years later. 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.520 They're on T shirts and they're on coffee cups and yeah. Right, 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.640 so you worked you worked with Matt on The Resident. 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:57.080 What was it like working with him again? 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:04.520 Great? Yeah, great? He is Matt is the consummate professional. 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:10.199 He's the hardest worker I've ever met. I like to 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:14.200 think I'm a very hard worker. I take my job 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:18.120 very seriously. I like to do a lot of research, 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:26.920 and I just feel lazy when I'm around that. He's 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:32.920 just so on point. He does so much homework and 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.399 he just bangs it out, you know, he just drills, 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:40.600 drills it, and I I'm still a part of me 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:45.200 just has a bit of fun. You know, Math's consummate professional. 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.520 I have a lot of time for him. He's he's 0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:50.760 he's been a good. 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.560 Friend, you know, brilliant, brilliant gay. 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:56.720 He's done so much work that you can't help. But 0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:58.520 you know, there have been times when you know, I'll 0:22:58.520 --> 0:22:59.800 be on set with him and I'll say, hey, you know, 0:22:59.840 --> 0:23:01.080 what to a take on this? Or what do you 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:03.639 think about this? Or you know, and that was all 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:05.720 that on the resident. So he's shot. You know, I 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:07.560 was coming on just doing a guesting right. 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:11.840 Yeah, we we love him over here. We've had him 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:15.439 on a couple of times and he's just the top guy. Gosh, 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:21.399 top guy and great performances, logan, just fantastic perform I 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:25.720 think that gets lost in all of the you know, 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:29.520 the fan reaction to you know, where he comes from. 0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:33.720 He's a guy of privilege. He's breaking Rory's heart, he's 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:36.120 manipulating her all of the stuff. And what I'm trying 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:40.280 to focus on is like this guy's performance is epic. 0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:43.680 I mean, just the work. Look at the work, look 0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:46.200 at how everything just trips off his tongue and it's 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.399 just like the timing of it is so perfect. You 0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:52.120 guys were all great together. Man, that was those those 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:55.080 were the most fun scenes to watch so far. I mean, 0:23:55.160 --> 0:24:00.239 among the most fun. Uh. And so is there. Keep 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:03.680 in touch with everybody and the and the brigade. 0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:05.840 Alan Matt every now and again we'll send each other 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:10.520 a text. But one thing I think part of that 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.040
