That's that's. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.799 That's all I could say about that, because because the 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.000 next movie, man, because I've been you know, my John 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.720 Wicks from Jump, you know, and I thought the I 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.240 thought the action was the common he's my boy, and 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.200 he I was like looking at the commas man, he 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.560 was in shape. Do you do you attend any of 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.200 the trainee sessions and watching these guys work out, because 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.040 they got to prepare at least several months of weeks 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.840 before they even started engaging in these into the taping 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.320 a shooting of the film. Correct, all the major all 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.480 the major villains, all the you know, all all the 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.320 people who have the big, big fight scenes with the 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:33.680 with Kenado. Yeah, they had the trip for months. I know. Uh. Um, 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.400 I haven't example online, I haven't you know, I haven't 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:40.280 been to any of the training sessions, um personally, but 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.720 I know hally like from xample for john Wick three, 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.600 Halle Berry had to train for months. To um, I 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.280 feel like it's okay to say because she said it. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.360 She said it and introduced absolutely Brooke three ribs at 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.640 one point. Yeah, because you know, I watched it behind 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.960 the scenes, you know, behind they they're doing HBO. Uh yeah, 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.280 so I watched it because she's she's rolling with some dogs, Alex. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.160 It's really I mean, I was shocked, you said, brother, 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.960 you're just john Wick. John Wick, the third installment of 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.600 John Wick. You know, we can't be soft in this 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.480 interview with john Wick because of the fact that if 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.520 you're a fan of the series, which I'm a fan 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.440 of the series, and we're gonna talk about this, but 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.320 I was like, I want to talk about you two. 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.040 Your career is amazing. But but because you know, when 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:27.080 it's when I first are the Wire, you know, you've 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.840 worked with some amazing talent as you're working into and 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.600 you've been working with in this series because I was 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.680 had Franky Face one on the show about three weeks ago. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.200 He's great. Yeah, you know, and and again that's the 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.520 type of talent that you work around. Of course, you 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.479 know interest Elbow off of the Wire, you work on 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.719 series man that people a lot of people continue to 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.719 work and I mean you see him in movies. You 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.039 see like my Girl, she's in The Man in the Wasp. 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.880 You know all this, So you you're you're your that 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.800 that lets me know that your ability as an actor, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.240 it's always challenged and you always rise to the cage 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.119 to the occasion. Correct. Well, I've been very fortunate and 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.359 and for me, the quality of the work has always 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.760 come first. So I mean I was really when I 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.120 was in drama school, I was really pretty from from 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.520 a time because I came to acting late in life. 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.120 I mean I acted in college for fun. But I 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.480 didn't really start pursuing acting as a as a as 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.560 a vocation to tell it was twenty seven years old. 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.520 So um, and it was something that kind of stumbled 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:32.040 into because originally I trained as a musician. So when 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.880 I when I started acting, that really kind of um 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:40.599 attacked learning the craft with the kind of ferocity. Um 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.120 so um that has served me well since. And I 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.800 feel like I really got um, I got my money's 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.920 worthout a drama school. That really it was. It was 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.200 a good investment. Well you know it's interesting. So you 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.600 know you got this this great voice. So I'm sure 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.920 your friends and your buddies, you know, I'm sure the 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.880 originally that voice because you say using music, using musicians. 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.240 I know you were smooth talking Lance, I know that. 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:09.400 Well I have a nice singing voice, but I mean 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.960 I just never I mean I sing and I have 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.800 a nice voice, but my major was composition. I grew 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.880 up um writing songs and then studying classical piano and 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.880 classical classic composition. So I never I never really considered 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.520 myself a singer as much as a songwriter with a 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.280 nice voice. And so so now now when you made 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.479 that transition, now, did you feel that because I know 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.239 your music. Like I said, music it never leaves your soul, 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.880 your spirit. But you're you're you're predominantly known as an actor, 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.680 are you you're shaping music into your career. Well, it's 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:48.599 funny because I uh, well, first of all, my training, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:53.440 I found my training as a musician, um really informed 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.600 how I approached my work as an actor when I started, 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.440 when I started to train the uh to learn how 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.600 to act so um, even even learning how to practice 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.000 right the piano, you know what I mean, It informed 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.720 how I approached There was a there was a kind 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.520 of an analytical and systematic way that I approached learning 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.080 the lines um and a lot of that came out 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.800 of my training as a musician. And a lot of 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.280 people understand that you have toolute challenge the truth because 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.280 I just a little background on me. I played tennis, saxophone, 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:29.400 alto saxophone and claring that and I know that from 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:33.040 a memory standpoint, when you used the word analytical. Now, 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.160 my degree in colleges and mathematics, and it was all 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.680 derived from the fact that when you play music and 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.960 you start getting to these levels and these tones, and 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.200 because you're here note you're saying, you know that that 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.280 that note is and so and when you look at 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.440 the history of music, when you go back to Mozark 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.040 and Beethoven and all this, you go, it's all really 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.840 a form of math and so and Dock was obsessed 0:07:54.840 --> 0:08:01.200 with numbers. Wow, that's wow, that's really cool. Yeah. Times 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.440 you're supposed to be interview music, it's like, okay, this 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.440 is it. I ain't never I've never talked to nobody 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.840 like this before, because you know that thing that because 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.400 I really I try to get interviews on the show 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.120 that I try to pull out those gems because I 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.160 get a lot of people who interview my show up. 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.840 Nobody's ever asked me that question because actually, just just 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.520 just I've had a great life and I still have 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.960 living a great life lands and when I'm able to 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.120 talk to you, when you start talking about music, I'm 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.320 right in line with you, because I always always recommend 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.640 young people to uh uh, not just listen to music, 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.240 but participate in the music. Learn how to play an instrument, piano. 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.200 It's something that will allow you to get into the 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.600 thought process. Because once you get into music and you 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.080 can attest to this, it just takes you on a journey. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:54.160 Am I correct? Absolutely? Are you essentially just speaking about 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.800 music specifically? I think to the point of kind of 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:03.839 approaching uh are trying to approach life? Uh successfully I've 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.840 put that in quotes. Um. One of the things that 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:12.319 I've found, uh is that, um, you never know where 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.600 following your interests uh and your passing for learning will 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:21.880 take you. So um who I mean even though I started, 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:23.560 you know, as a musician, because the other thing is 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.160 interestingly enough, you know, I was I loved math, and 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:28.880 I was actually the physics making my first year in 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.280 college before I transferred the music school. So so, um, 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:38.760 you just never know how, um, just following you know how, 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.480 even even if you don't end up following what a 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.400 particular path you don't you end up going on a 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:49.840 different path. What learning something from from from different disperate 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.960 paths will uh, well how they will serve you later. 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.000 And that's important for people to hear that about your 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.160 talents because like you said, you know, people get in 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.400 life they are afraid to make a change lands and 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.079 afraid that Okay, this is I've been told, this is 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.640 this is where I should take by my journey. And 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:10.440 you're you know, like you said physics man musician. Uh, 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.959 then a twenty seven you got into acting, none of 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.320 that was guaranteed. What what what? What was? What were 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.880 your support groups? Well, I have to tell you that 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.920 I don't normally tend to talk like this, but in 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:28.800 terms of kind of how and I hope this I'm 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.840 afraid this doesn't ne feily answer your question. But when 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.640 I started acting, that was how I got from there 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.000 to here. Um. I mean two years after I started acting, 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.080 I was at the year drama school and if the 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.360 only place applied. It was one of those things where 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.240 I that was the moment in my life where I 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.320 felt that I was really divinely, like something was guiding me, 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.959 like it was beyond because I was really kind of 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.000 down on my luck when I started acting. Um, I 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.800 had I was at the time, my daughter was about 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.120 a year old. I was worked in three jobs seven 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.800 days a week. Um. And I had a back Injery 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.439 that laid me up for a couple of weeks. Uh. 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.160 And when I started acting, we had actually moved in 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.160 two I was living in Boston at the time. We've 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.080 had to move in with another family because we couldn't 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.079 afford that and taking us in because we could afford 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:22.440 the pay I read anymore. So uh so, you know, 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:27.600 just just the notion. You know, it wasn't a logical 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.760 It wasn't a logical choice. I mean, I'd acted in 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:32.760 college for fun and I knew it was good at it, 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.240 but it was kind of like, how do I make 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.920 what I can do work for me? And I said, well, 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.200 I know I could sing it, I can act, let 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.680 me try to. I wented a couple of musical theater auditions. 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.240 They went nowhere because I was up against like real singers, 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.400 like musical theater people and gospel people. I'm like, I 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.640 just got the gout with a nice voice. And then 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.600 I started going on straight acting auditions, uh and local 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.000 not equally see it in Boston, and I just started 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.880 getting cast and getting CASTE told you to go. We've 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.240 back with more of a man, Lance and getting more 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.160 involved with the John Wick movie, plus the fact that 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.280 he got several more movies come out here with the 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.880 Domestic with Kate Boswick, Canal Street, Monster Party, Little Woods, 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.400 A Man is Hot, and I got him more money 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.480 making conversations. We'll be back more. We'll be back with more. 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:22.960 Lance Riddick on money making conversations. Hi, this ra Sean McDonald. 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.959 You're listening to listening to money making conversations And Uh, 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.040 I'm gonna call my good friend because see how I'm 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:29.720 talking to him like a friend, talking to me like 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:34.040 a little brother. Because when you see somebody on TV 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.280 and they're doing a body of work that's so diverse, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.760 that there's a story behind that diversity, because you have 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.640 to reach it a lot of different places to be 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.760 able to pull these characters and to Puforll. The reason 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.360 I love to love him the most because the level 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.600 of professionalism that he exhibits for an African American character, 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.480 and that's so important and and and and our youth today, 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.880 especially when you see how it's played out in the 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.040 real world, how often times of Africa in American portrayed 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.679 in a negative light. He's on my show today. He's 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.800 back to talk about the trilogy which he's been a 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.520 part of all three of the John Wick series, which 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.720 is an exciting action adventure thriller. And this movie just 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:18.160 third version includes halle Berry. Now I'm laugh on now 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.640 because halle Berry is fighting this. I mean, she is 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:26.400 laying down. Have you been to the premiere yet of 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.480 this I've been to a screening of course, back to 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.679 the New York premiere exactly this week. So the New 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.520 premiere is on Thursday, so I'm leaving on Wednesday, and 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.360 then the l A premiere is uh a, Wednesday of 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:43.280 next week. Okay, cool, okay cool. So so in your screening, 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.360 what surprised you the most about halle Berry? What's the President? 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.760 When I watched the film, this thing is the President 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.600 of the most about Halliebery. Hallieberry's work was how well 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:58.640 she moved right. I mean, I couldn't believe what I 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.360 was saying. I mean, I would have she and maybe 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.040 she had a backround of martial arts. I don't know, 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.120 but I mean she was flipping gun food and with 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.280 the best of them. I mean, there's a there's a 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.240 there's a moment. It's a bit of a spoiler, but 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.640 I mean not really because it's it's it's in the 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.839 in the midst of a huge fight scene with she 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.320 can to take on like fifty guys. But there's a 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.720 scene where and you and it's actually part of the 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.280 it's part of the trail, one of the trailers where 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.360 she's running and there's a guy on the other side 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.600 of of a of a wagon, you know, the kind 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.200 of the kind of wagons put an and you hook 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.960 up to a horse. And she as she runs what 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.160 happen listening to be she slides underneath of it the 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.400 way somebody was slot on one leg sliding the first base, 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.840 a slide of a slide of the base. And as 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.240 she actually goes underneath, she flips out of gun and 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.400 she she's two cats. I mean, I mean, it's bad, 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.560 it's exciting. Say, well, you're thinking about it. That's why 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.440 you know you got to when you see caliberry done. 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.480 Hey man, the roads. I just saw Golden Circle, where 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.680 she played a nerdy scientist. And then of course, you 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.400 know Bond movies. You know, she's been a groundbreaker and 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:13.880 a groundbreaking and then so and so when I was 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.200 watching HBO, behind the scenes, they showed her, they showed 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.360 her doing her thing. You know, first of all, we're 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.040 not even going to go we're not even gonna talk 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.680 about candle reads. He's physically crazy. I don't know how 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.560 this dude does what he does. Uh, you know, he's 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.000 actually participating in these fights, says I mean the flips, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.840 you know, I mean, it's they said that he participates 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.040 in probably about nanny eight percent of the action scenes. 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.960 When you when you get well of that stuffing it, yeah, 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.680 that's you know. That's one of the things that was 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:49.080 so innovative about this this franchise, the film series is 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:53.560 the way that it's shocked. UM because kend because the 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:58.640 director of Chet Dahulsky and UM and his partner man 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.160 I can't think his name, who actually directed the first 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:05.680 uh some with him, Um is now directed huge movies 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.720 UM that like Deadpool, Tool Too and Um UM, but 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:14.000 I can't I think you can't think it's uh David Um. Anyway, 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.560 they're both. They both come from the book Heavy stunt Man, 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.640 and Chad is actually uh an advanced martial artist. I 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.800 mean he's uh, he's he's the kick boxing as a gymnast. 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:28.080 He still teaches judo every day. And so the whole 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.440 concept for these movies was, um, to make it look 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.040 how do they make it look so real? Was the 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.760 train Canada? Like they would train a stunt man right 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:40.040 so so that they could take really really Rather than 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.680 having a lot of quick cuts to try to give 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.640 the impression that you're seeing the action, they do long 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.800 takes where you actually see all these long sequences where 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:50.680 he's doing all the flipping and all the you know, 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.240 and all these long one shots. And so that's one 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.920 of the thing that's really that's really amazing and groundbreaking 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.360 about this. At least four American action films, I mean, 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.120 they've been really uh um um turned up with this 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.040 stuff in Asia, particularly in in Korea for the left 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.919 ten years. The amazing thing about when I watched movies 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.720 like this because you're you're absolutely correct, like us, just 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:15.320 calming the rapper, calming the AI guy, the voice over king, 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:21.160 you know, executive shot on showtime, you know. And I've 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.560 been knowing him since uh I cast him on Sister 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:28.400 Sister and the sitcom. You know, everyone everyone acting. I'm 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.520 telling lass, I go back, I got I got a 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.920 little history, bro. You might need to know men and so. 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.560 And the thing about this is that watching him, that 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.240 the physicality of those roles, and then watching behind the 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.720 scenes with let me just be hip to everybody, what 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.119 exactly John Wick is. John Wicks is an action thriller 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.520 and John Wicker is an assassin, Okay, and he's hired 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.639 through the secret the secret organization that the hotel is 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:59.480 where Lance's character is the concierge. And so everybody checking 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.680 in the hotel, they know they have a violent pass. 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.280 But you know, you have this very dignified African American 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:08.000 man checking everybody in and their rules they're rude. He's 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:13.600 actually he's actually African. I made I made anyone. Yeah 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.040 and uh and he steps saying and then uh and 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.800 and so what happens there he checks in. There are rules, 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.919 you know, you can't do certain things in this hotel, 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:26.600 not on this problem. There are no rules outside the problem. Okay, 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.960 Cameo breaks a rule. Okay, that's how the second one ends. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.720 He breaks a rule, and it sets the stage for 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.679 the third movie, where basically he on the run for 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:41.680 his life every basically every stass the The way the 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.440 last movie, the second movie ends is that he has 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.280 so one of the card the rules of the Continental, 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.879 because the Continental is the hotel is it's basically a 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.520 five star hotel that caters to the to the most 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.919 of the assassins in the world, and one of the 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.240 one of them, as you were saying, one of the 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.679 cardon perhaps the most sacred rules the hotel is, no 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.240 business is to be conducted on continent ground. I mean 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.080 you can't kill anybody on the grounds hotel, and so 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.280 at the yet at the end of the second movie, 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.000 Canny not only kill somebody, but he kills somebody like 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.080 who's Who's part of the High Table, part of the union, 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:19.200 prancel of this international guilt of assassins. So he needs 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.000 to ends with him on the run and he needs 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.440 for his life with a fourteen million dollar bounty on 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.960 his head. So every assassin in the world is after him. 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.760 And the third movie starts where the second movie ends. Yeah, 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:30.600 and see, the thing about it is that you don't 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.040 know who an assassin is. It could be a homeless guy, 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.480 could be a lady pushed pregnant night, my pregnant lady. 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.560 That's right, that's that's so true. You know what I'm saying. 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.000 You don't know. Because so the second one the ends, 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.440 when that, when that, when that bounty goes out, it 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.399 just he just hear all these pages and phones ringing, 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.520 and he's running, he's running him and that dog just running. 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:57.640 First he started walking, he started walking, the pages go off, 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:01.600 phone start, he starts running, and so it's really a 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.240 compelling movie. As you can see. I'm a fan of 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:10.359 the series. Lance Well to your the first question you 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:12.480 asked me, I can't say I do step away from 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.359 the desk, Yes, sir, don't, don't, don't don't do no 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:18.919 smaller alert on me. I'm good because I'm gonna let 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.000 you know I'm a fan of That's why I'm happily promoting. 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:26.440 This is a series that does extremely well and uh, 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:30.120 international markets extremely well. It does good here, but it's 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:35.639 a huge success internationally. And that movie goes out. There's action, 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.720 but I like it because the fact that you know, 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:40.760 he was a guy, and this is the basis of 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:44.960 his character. He was pulled back into the assassin world. 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.560 He wanted to walk away, and they pulled them back in. 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.760 And that's why they pulled back in the most violent 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:56.600 assassin of the most successful assassin in the history of 0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:01.080 assassin of that field. And so so everybody knows that. 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.960 Everybody knows that, and so when you're coming at him, 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:07.200 you're kind of coming at him, you know, with like, uh, 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.119 should I do this? But you can't passing this fourteen 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.240 million dollars now? Well, I also think there's an ego 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.879 thing a ball because it's like that, it's kind of 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.480 uh like the old threw back to the old Westerns 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.320 where if you the factor is gonna West, can I 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.400 be the guy that got that beat him? Can I 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.640 think be the guy that beat the best? Right right? 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:29.440 And that's the great thing that I'm on the phone 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.119 with my man A Lance Riddick. He plays the character 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:36.200 the hotel Concier on the movie the John Wick Series. 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.439
