22
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: I came out of seeing this movie and I was like, Oh,

23
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: this movie's gonna make a lot of money. Like not

24
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: just because obviously there's adults, there's people like us. We're like, oh,

25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: we're gonna see a movie. We're gonna go and see

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,240

28
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: she's like a cool tornado nud Like. There's all those

29
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: things that draw us to it, the fact that Lee

30
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: Isaac chungk From who directed Manari, made it. But I

31
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: also feel like, if you're like ten or eleven years

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: old and you go and see this movie, you're probably

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: gonna think it's the coolest movie of all time. So

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: I really think that some of this this money is

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: likely rewatches, not just by adults, but also by like

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: cool kids who like love Weather.

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:09,919

00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: That just is so exciting to me as a fan

54
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: of this stuff. I love to see their little graphic designers,

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: my passion timeline.

56
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: It's gonna be hilarious.

57
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: Last time we saw them there it was four years

58
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: ago and that was when we heard about Blade. Blade

59
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: has still not come out, Dug Dad, So I hope

60
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: that we get some Blade news. I would my predictions

61
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: for this are. I would assume that we will see

62
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: probably the whole cast of Fantastic Four there. Whoa that

63
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: will be my like that the four that we know about.

64
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: I believe they will get fought on stage. I think

65
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: that would be quite a big deal. And I guess

66
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: our next piece of news could hint at the other

67
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: stuff that we're gonna see.

68
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: What an incredible transition for mere professional Rosie. Speaking of which,

69
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Feigey recently at a press conference for Deadpool and

70
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: Wolverine revealed that quote the after meaning after the Deadpool

71
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: and Wolverine movie is clearly now that we have characters

72
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: from the X Men world, the Mutants we haven't had

73
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: access to before.

74
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: Figi continued, so this.

75
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Is the beginning of that, and every movie post Deadpool

76
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: of Wolverine will be the Mutant era coming into the

77
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: EBCU band.

78
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: I just want to say congrats to you and to me, Jason,

79
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: because really we've been waiting for this for so long.

80
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: We've made it.

81
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: We've sat here, we've predicted, we've wondered, we've been in

82
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: the comic shop and we've been like, when, well, the

83
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: X Men come to the EMCU.

84
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: We've been on this show and we've said the same thing.

85
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: So I think this is great. I also think it

86
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: is a huge It's kind of it seems like a

87
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: throwaway comment, but I think that we can kind of

88
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: say it's actually like a huge turn away from what

89
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: we've heard before with the you know it, you know

90
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: the kang of it all. I think we're kind of

91
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: going to focus more on building to the X Men

92
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: and building to whatever that means, whether that's X Men

93
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: versus Avengers, whether that's some X Men kind of solo

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: movies recreating that phase one, which I think would be

95
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: a good idea, like a Storm movie or something like that.

96
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: You know, I'm very interested to see where it goes,

97
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: and I think we will at least get a hint

98
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: of that at San Diego Comic Con this weekend.

99
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm very very excited. And once again, you're Rosie. You

100
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: pointed out we were right.

00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: We were right, baby, right right, And it's finally happening.

104
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: a traumatized time traveler, and of course he's played the

105
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: fire loving mutant Pyro in the X Men series and

Speaker 2: but I think you're you're our first mutant.

118
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: I'm shocked to hear that There's been so many generations

Speaker 2: so many movies. But we're super happy to have you here.

122
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: And something we always ask, like when we have a

123
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: guest on is like we sometimes ask like, what's your

124
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: comic book origin story? But for you, like what's your

125
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: acting origin story? Like how did it begin?

126
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 4: Oh, it's not too exciting, it's it's uh, it's you know,

127
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 4: it's something that that I liked from a from a

128
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 4: very young age. I grew up in a in small

129
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 4: town Massachusetts, very very very far from Hollywood. So I

130
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: did like, you know, little community theater here and there,

131
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: school plays and stuff like that, and ended up going

132
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: liked it enough that I went to college to pursue

133
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: it and moved to New York afterwards, sort of with

134
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: an idea in my head that that I would be

135
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: struggling pretty much for the rest of my life and

136
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 4: would probably be doing just like off off off Broadway

137
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: theater forever and and uh and and have a day

138
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: job and that and that was you know, that was

139
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: sort of my my my goal. And and when I

140
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 4: was in New York, I did that. I did I

141
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: did theater, and I did a lot of small independent films.

142
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: Is that was a really that was a time when

143
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 4: independent film was really happening in New York City. There

144
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 4: was there's a lot of stuff going on. It was

145
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 4: a real indie indie boom. And I got I was

146
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: very very fortunate to pretty early on in my career

147
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: land an absolute dream role. It was this film called

148
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: Tadpole and Weaver. Is this with Sigourney Weaver? Yes, And

149
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: and it was I played this this young private school

150
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: kid and Sigourney Weaver was my stepmother. And and I

151
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 4: fall in love with with my stepmother? Is the is

152
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 4: the the plot? And just as it was winning the lottery,

153
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: it was it was. It was a lead role opposite

154
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 4: Sigourney Weaver and John Ritter and bb Newworth. And I

155
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: was completely untested and just was was lucky enough that

156
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 4: the director, this Guyry Winnick, just decided he saw something

157
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 4: in me in in the audition room and said that

158
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: you know this, this is our guy, and and we're

159
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 4: gonna we're gonna give him a shot. And and it's

160
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 4: absolutely because he gave me that shot, that that that

161
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 4: I went on to uh to have a career.

162
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that career, because you're talking about twenty

163
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: plus years now as a working actor, which is a

164
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: tremendous career.

165
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 3: You've worked Mike.

Speaker 1: Lee, and you've worked, You've done you've worked on television,

167
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: you've worked on the stage. When young actors come to

168
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: you and they're like, how do I how do I

169
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: do it? How what do I need? What are the skills? Like?

170
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: How do I work for that long? What do you

171
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: tell them?

172
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know there there isn't an answer to that question.

173
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: It's it's it's what everybody wants to know. It's it's

174
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: what I wanted to know when I you know, when

175
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 4: I when I first started. And you're going to talk

176
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: to one hundred different acts and they'll give you a

177
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 4: hundred different stories of how of how it worked out

178
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 4: for them, and the only there's there's basics that that

179
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 4: that that you need and then the rest of it's

180
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 4: just how it all unfolds. So the basics that you

181
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: the basics that you absolutely need are a true passion

182
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: and and a love for acting, for the craft, for

183
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 4: the craft, and you you really really need to be devoted.

184
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 4: I remember when I when I went to acting school,

185
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: you know, they didn't sugarcoat it like the like the

186
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 4: first day we were there, it was one of those

187
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: look to your left, look to your right things, you know,

188
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 4: and they basically said to us, they were like they said,

189
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 4: flat out, anybody in this room who can do anything else,

190
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 4: who can imagine doing anything, I mean, anything else with

191
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: your life, go do that, you know. So because it's

192
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 4: just it's just really it's really really difficult to to

193
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 4: stay working and so you have so you have to

194
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: absolutely love it because it's the only thing that's going

195
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: to keep you going. And you need to devote yourself

196
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 4: to it, and you need to have tenacity and keep

197
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 4: at it and just endure the steady diet of rejection

198
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: that is the life of an actor and all of

199
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: the you know, the the failures and false wins that

200
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: you think you you know, got the role, and then

201
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: you get cut out of the movie and it's hugely

202
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 4: disappointing or the role wasn't what you thought it was,

203
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: and you know you're actually just background, you know, So

204
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: all of that stuff you have to be have the

205
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 4: fortitude to get through it. And then the and then

206
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 4: the main thing. You know that that the third magic ingredient,

207
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 4: which is which is why you'll hear every actor has

208
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: a different story, is you have to be fortunate enough

209
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: to get to somehow get that role like I did

210
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 4: in aadpole And you have to you know, I've had

211
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 4: there's an actor I'm friends with, Tom Pelfrey. You went

212
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 4: to the same college as me, Rutgers University, and he

213
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 4: said it very well. He said, you have to be

214
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 4: you have to be very good in something that is

215
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 4: very good, that is seen by everybody, and and and that,

216
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 4: and that's what it takes to get on the map.

217
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 4: You know, you you have to you have to be

218
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: great in a role in some in in something that's

219
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 4: very good, that is seen by a lot of people,

220
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: and and that that is no easy trick, and and

221
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 4: and people get to that all all sorts of different ways.

222
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: It's interesting because one of the things I love about

223
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: whenever I see you pop up and it's something like

224
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: comedy bang bang, it's like.

225
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: You know, whether it's whether you want to.

226
00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a big impros so like John Johnny Appleseed.

227
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: Joddy see.

228
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: Whether whether it's like, uh, you know, one episode hit

229
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: on mad Men or comedy Bang bang, or a show

230
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: that's built around you. You always bring something where you're like,

231
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: oh wow, that was great.

232
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: How do you how do you balance that?

233
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna you know, it's a it's a

234
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: guest spot one episode. How do you manage what you

235
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: have to do, stay true to the character and try

236
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: and make an impact in that in those kind of

237
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: small hits.

238
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, it's very kind. I really appreciate

239
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 4: you say I.

240
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: Watched too much television to do a big, big TV Me.

241
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 4: Too, Me too. I'm a you know, I'm a fan first,

242
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, you don't want to go in

243
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: there necessarily with the plan of how you're going to

244
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 4: bend the job or the role around you and make

245
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: it what you need it to be, and you know,

246
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 4: go in with the mentality of like, you know, though

247
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: this is my shot on mad Men, this is my

248
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: one mad Men episode. I better make this sing. You

249
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 4: know a lot of people are seeing this. This is

250
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 4: my shot, me me. You know, you can't, you just

251
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 4: can't think like that. And you know, as actors, you

252
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: we really are servants to the story. You know, you're

253
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: you're you're a servant to the material, and you just

254
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:34,479
Speaker 4: have to approach every part, large or small, from that perspective,

255
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 4: and you just have to really familiarize yourself with whatever

256
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 4: story is being told. You read that script over and

257
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 4: over and over again. You research, you know, show like

258
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 4: mad Men. You make sure you know who the characters are,

259
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 4: and you've seen all the episodes. You understand the world

260
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 4: that you're in, and then you understand, you know, what

261
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: what your function is within the story. And then you know,

262
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: you go in and you do all of the character

263
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: work that you would do for for any for a

264
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 4: large care you know, for for a big overarching character,

265
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: you know, in an entire series, and you just you

266
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 4: create a backstory for yourself and you make sure you

267
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 4: understand when you're in the scene, where are you coming from? Immediately?

268
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: You know where are you going to be right afterwards?

269
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 4: How do you feel about all these people? What are

270
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 4: your relationships to these people? And you just have to,

271
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 4: you know, just do all of that in your head

272
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: and and build that that infrastructure. And you know it's

273
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 4: in my opinion, it's it's really the same for every job.

274
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you've I mean you like you said, big

275
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: breakout role is opposite you know, Sigourney we the bebby

276
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: New Earth. You've worked with like Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart,

277
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: like the cost.

278
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: Of mad Man.

279
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: What's it like to be a working actor and kind

280
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: of over this twenty years just get to work alongside

281
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: like icons who are already icons to you, probably before

282
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: you even start.

283
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really surreal, As I said, since I since

284
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 4: I'm a fan first especially you know, you get to

285
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 4: work with somebody like you know, when I found myself

286
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 4: in scenes opposite Ian McKellen, you knows, as a young

287
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 4: aspiring actor, I had watched you know, he did this

288
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 4: version of Richard the Third which is sort of reimagined

289
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 4: to take place in this kind of like World War

290
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: twish world period, and watching him and being in awe

291
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 4: of his ability and then suddenly you're you're looking him

292
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 4: in the eyes, you know, and in a scene with him,

293
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 4: and it's surreal. It can be very intimidating at first.

294
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: And what I found very quickly was that you had

295
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 4: to sort of be in a state of denial about

296
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 4: what you have to sort of suspend all of that stuff,

297
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 4: all of that baggage, all of that excitement and all

298
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 4: of that the worship. You know, you have to you

299
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 4: have to sort of put that aside and just like

300
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 4: compartmentalize and just lock that away and just I'm in

301
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 4: a scene with my scene partner and and I've just

302
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: got to dial in on that and everything and in

303
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 4: this scene is too from and off of this other

304
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 4: human being. And and then after you're done with the scene,

305
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 4: that's when you can sort of let let it all

306
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: flood in. And that is often when it when it

307
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 4: hits you, and it's it's fantastic. I'm I couldn't feel

308
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: more fortunate to have come into contact with with all

309
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 4: the all the people that I have.

310
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: In this business scene MH.

311
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: You talked about the the work behind the scenes, building

312
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: out a backstory excepter. I remember reading an interview with

313
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: you about Twelve Monkeys where you talked about researching combat

314
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: veterans and trauma to bring that performance to life. What

315
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: did you do to kind of build out the backstory

316
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: of Pyro, who is very different in movie form than

317
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: from the comics, And then did that approach change at all.

318
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 3: When you reprise the role now years later.

319
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 4: Yes, it's it's it's certainly. It certainly shifted for for

320
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 4: Deadpool because Deadpool is a very different sort of of

321
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 4: of of comic book film. So most of that, most

322
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: of that work building out the character of Pyro that

323
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 4: you know, it all goes back to the original the

324
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 4: first film that I did, which which was X two,

325
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 4: and that, in my opinion, was was the most complete

326
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 4: portrait that you ever see of Pyro. You know, there

327
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 4: was there was real attention to detail. There were all

328
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: these little moments built in. The screenwriters, Mike Doherty and

329
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 4: Dan Harris. They were very very careful too, you know,

330
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: to make all of their characters nuanced and complicated. And Piro,

331
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 4: you see all these scenes where he's he's kind of

332
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 4: this arrogant, brash young kid. He comes off like kind

333
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 4: of a jerk, and then they built in these these

334
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 4: little tiny vignettes and there's this really great moment where

335
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 4: you know, Piro is staring at a picture of someone

336
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: else's happy family on the mantle and you see something

337
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: going on behind the eyes, and he's sort of clutching

338
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 4: his his lighter, you know, like a security blanket. And

339
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 4: you know, so for me, I what I read that scene,

340
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 4: I said, Okay, you know this this kid's this kid

341
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 4: has there's some pain there and and and what's his

342
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: family history? This is obviously a happy family. He never

343
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,239
Speaker 4: you know, he never had. And so I, you know,

344
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 4: for for Pyro and in that film specifically, you know,

345
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 4: I built in this character who came from a very

346
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 4: very dysfunctional, difficult, heartbreaking situation with with with his family,

347
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 4: and it informs who he is and it's you know

348
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 4: why he has all of these defense mechanisms. You know

349
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 4: that that he throws up of trying to act tough

350
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 4: and trying to act cool and trying to act like

351
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 4: he doesn't care when actually, you know, the exact opposite

352
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 4: is the case. And he's and he's really desperate for

353
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 4: uh for love and uh and attention and he doesn't

354
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 4: even he doesn't even find it. At Professor X's school.

355
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 4: You know, he's Bobby and in rogue. You know, they're

356
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 4: the ones who connect and he's sort of on on

357
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 4: on the fringes of that and he never quite gets inside.

358
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 4: He never finds somebody until Magneto meets him and immediately

359
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 4: sort of becomes this surrogate father figure, you know, encouraging

360
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 4: him and telling him he's special and uh and and

361
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 4: to come along and find a new family. So that

362
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 4: was all all that backwork was was done, you know,

363
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 4: all the way back then in X two and obviously

364
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 4: pulling what I could from the comics. But as you said,

365
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 4: it was the character was was very, very different, And

366
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 4: the reason for that is because I think they had

367
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: a very specific thing they wanted to achieve with the

368
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 4: Professor X the ex kids. You know, they wanted they

369
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 4: wanted these young kids, and and they wanted I think

370
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 4: really because it's a visual medium. What they wanted was

371
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 4: fire and ice. They wanted you know, Iceman opposite Pyro,

372
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 4: and they knew eventually those two would face off. So anyway,

373
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 4: so you know, all that being said, all that was

374
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 4: still in place when I came in for the for

375
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 4: the for Deadpool. But the movie just is just a

376
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 4: very very different tone. So, you know, Deadpool is you know,

377
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 4: it's it's like a it's it's a body comedy, you know,

378
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 4: it's a it's it's it's a send up of the

379
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: superhero genre. So it's the Pyro in Deadpool. It's it's

380
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 4: more of a caricature and and and less and less

381
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 4: of a of a portrait.

382
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you kind of talked about the the life

383
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 2: of a working actor. You don't know which role is

384
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: going to break out, you don't know how long you're

385
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 2: gonna have to grind. How did it feel to then

386
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: get a call about a character you played, you know,

387
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: a decade and a half ago, and say, hey, we

388
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: want you to do that again, because that feels very unlikely.

389
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: It is very unlikely. It's yeah, it's it's the last

390
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: thing that I expected, you know, as you said that

391
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: was it was like twenty twenty years ago, and they

392
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 4: had long since moved on from the old cast. I

393
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: think the last I think the last time they used

394
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 4: most of the old cast was Days of Future Passed.

395
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 4: I think that was it. And after that sort of

396
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 4: sort of passed by, that was the last one that

397
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 4: I thought like, oh, maybe maybe they'll call me back up,

398
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 4: you know, but but but no, I didn't. So I

399
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 4: was just like, Okay, well that, you know, that was

400
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: a very fun and interesting chapter of my life that

401
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 4: is now that is now finished. So Yeah, to get

402
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 4: a call was to say the least. Uh, it was surprising.

403
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 4: And you know, as I said before, you know, as

404
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 4: an actor, you learn, you learn not to get too

405
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 4: excited about anything because so many things just don't pan out,

406
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 4: or they almost happen, or they don't happen the way

407
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 4: that you want them to. So I was very measured

408
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 4: and reserved. You know, when I first got there, my

409
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 4: agent first started getting a lot of phone calls about

410
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 4: checking my available and what was going on with me,

411
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 4: and you know it was it was from MCU and

412
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 4: we were like, well, what could this be. We don't know,

413
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 4: and then they said, you know, Sean Levy wants to

414
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 4: get on the phone with you, And then it became

415
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 4: clear what it was about. And I just talked to

416
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 4: him and he said, yeah, well, you know we want

417
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 4: we want to bring him back. And uh, it's cool.

418
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 4: There's there's something specific, there's something specific that we want

419
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 4: to do with you, and you're gonna like it. And

420
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 4: you know, I can't show it to you until you

421
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 4: sign all the papers and until you say yes. But

422
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: but it's it's it's legit and and it's real and

423
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 4: and so you know, I trusted him and uh, and

424
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: I was not disappointed.

425
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: One more deep cut because I want to ask you

426
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: about before we let you go, one of my favorite movies,

427
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: Twenty fifth Hour, directed by Spike leaves small role in that,

428
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: but I think for me it's uh uh, you know

429
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: it's I think it's the maybe the most effective post

430
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: nine to eleven movie. It doesn't deal directly with it,

431
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: but you feel the event throughout the film.

432
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 3: You've worked with so.

433
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 1: Many legends, as Rosie has said, But what was it

434
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: like working on that film? Written by David Benioff of

435
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones fame?

436
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah, well I didn't meet David he was

437
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 4: he wasn't on set that day, but it was a

438
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 4: chance to work with with Spike Lee, which was which

439
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: was you know, a great honor and very cool. And

440
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 4: my role was opposite it was only one scene and

441
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 4: it was opposite Barry Pepper Mark I love.

442
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is one of his favorite films.

443
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. So yeah, Mark Q's is your you know, is

444
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 4: your garden variety Dick. You know, like you don't like

445
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 4: your You're meant not to like him, and uh. As

446
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 4: an actor, it's funny, you get so you get stuck

447
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 4: with those roles sometimes and we don't get stuck with him.

448
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 4: You're gifted these you're gifted the roles sometimes, but you're

449
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 4: gifted the role of a heel and your job is

450
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 4: to like have a punishable face, you know, in that role.

451
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 4: And it's tough because as an actor, you know, you

452
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 4: what you always hear is like it's your job to

453
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 4: defend your character. You know, you have to justify your character.

454
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 4: Nobody thinks that they're the bad guy, nobody thinks they're

455
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 4: an asshole. So you have to put all the work

456
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 4: in to figure out, like how is this very punishable dickhead,

457
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: Like what is he? How does he see it? You know,

458
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 4: how does he imagine this situation? How he's not the

459
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 4: dick in this situation? You know, So you have to

460
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 4: do that while ultimately also serving your purpose. So it's

461
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 4: an interesting balancing act because there's always that side of

462
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 4: you that's trying to make this character more human and

463
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 4: more relatable and more empathetic, and then there's the other

464
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 4: side of you that also has to perform that role
