1 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Oliver mo Man. How you doing. It's good to see you. 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 2: I'm doing very well. I'm excited to be here. 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: Well, I'm happy to have you. 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 3: We're going to dive in because, first of all, you 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 3: recently pretty much broke the Internet, and I think you 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 3: know what I'm talking about, and that is, of course 7 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 3: that your character Buck recently came to the realization that 8 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 3: he is bisexual. And it's pretty cool because there have 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 3: been breadcrumbs, I feel like throughout the entire series, but 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 3: I do think this is a newer thing for him. 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 3: Like to me, it doesn't feel like this was particularly 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 3: planned over all the years, and I know for you 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 3: it was something you very much welcomed and you wanted 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 3: to dive into this. 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: So why is that? Why were you excited to take 16 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: on this new part of who he is? 17 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: I think for a number of reasons, right, So, first 18 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: of all, I do think, and not in any kind 19 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: of like intentional way, but I do think if you 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: look back through the years of the show, that there 21 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: are breadcrumbs that have been leading to something, right to 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: some kind of I'm not happy with myself or there's 23 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: a side of myself that I am not quite in 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: tune with yet. So I was excited from that perspective, 25 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: like purely a kind of storytelling perspective. But then I 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: also think this is a really uniquely positioned character to 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: do this with right where Listen, We're on a network 28 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 2: television show. This is a character who from what I've 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: found and I tread carefully, I don't want to sound 30 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: too self congratulatory here, but he's like a lot of 31 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: people have connected with him, and a lot of people 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: of different demographics have connected with him. So I think 33 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: then to show to all these different groups of people 34 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: that hey, he can be all these things and he 35 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: can be bisexual, I think is a really cool message 36 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: to send. And yeah, I just I think it's a 37 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: real interesting character have to have taken this step with. 38 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I imagine when you've played a character for 39 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: so many years that this is something that is exciting, 40 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: it's new, it's different, it kind of reinvigorates the role 41 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 3: that you're playing. 42 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: Right Absolutely, And to be honest with you, like this 43 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: this season as a whole, you know, we've moved networks, 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: so that there is a feeling of being reinvigorated as 45 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: a whole show. And then absolutely, yeah, you know, as 46 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: purely speaking as the actor, to have this to dive 47 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: into and to get to explore and just to see 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 2: what comes up. You know, while playing this part has 49 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: been really fun. 50 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 3: And what I like about you and what I appreciate 51 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: because I am an Italian from New Jersey and I 52 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: say what's on my mind for letter or for worse, 53 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: and I read the Instagram story you put up basically saying, 54 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 3: this is a show that's always been built on inclusion 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: and love and we already profile an amazing couple in 56 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 3: the community, so why should this be any different? And 57 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 3: if you're having a problem with this, well see yourself out. 58 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 3: So what went through your mind when you put that up? 59 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: Was that kind of like an instant reaction? Did you 60 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 3: really think about it, because you know a lot of 61 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 3: people wanted to say something like that if they're seeing 62 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: negative comments out there. 63 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: You know, the main thought process that I had with 64 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: whether or not I should speak to those comments is 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 2: do I even want to give them the time of day? 66 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: You know, because on one hand, it's like, I don't 67 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: even want to say anything to you if that's the 68 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: kind of energy and that's the kind of viewpoint that 69 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: you have on this, then I don't need to concern 70 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: myself with that. So that was my main kind of 71 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: concern of should I even bother? Are they worth it? 72 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: But then the reason that I did want to proceed 73 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: and say something is because I didn't want anybody who 74 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: is of that community and who is supportive of this 75 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: plot to think that I might have any side of 76 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: me that has the same concerns that these people are having, 77 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: you know, So I wanted to kind of just say 78 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: something as a show of solidarity and be like, no, 79 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: there's nothing about this plot, about this story, about this character, 80 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: about this community that I have any shame in portraying. 81 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: And I think it's a beautiful thing that the show 82 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: is doing. And listen, I get comments where people will 83 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: go to the extreme of saying things like, well, hey, 84 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: I don't want to see any relationships straight gay any 85 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: I just want the emergencies. And it's like, well, that's 86 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: not a TV show. That's a documentary, like you want 87 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: to go watch cops. You know, there's no narrative TV 88 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: show where there is no story, no personal story in relationships. 89 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: So yeah, those people can say what they want, and 90 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: you know, and I see it sometimes on my Instagram posts, 91 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: people will get into arguments and I wish sometimes I'm like, 92 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: you're never really going to change anybody's mind on the internet. 93 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: You know, everybody's just kind of screaming into the void 94 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: and nobody's ever really listening. So to the people that 95 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: are super against it, I'm all right, good, you know, 96 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 2: go do whatever you want with your life. That's fine. 97 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 2: You don't have to watch our show. The show is always, 98 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: as you quite rightly say, been a show that is 99 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: about inclusivity and has always had queer characters and will 100 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: continue to have. 101 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 3: So well, good on you for saying something, because, like 102 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 3: I said, a lot of people want to have and 103 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: it was really eloquently put and you know, it wasn't 104 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 3: over the top. It was just like a nice little 105 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 3: you're either on board with this or you're not if 106 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 3: you're not all the best, right, And I really appreciate 107 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 3: being someone that is in the community that you did 108 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: put that out there. 109 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: Because it's like, who cares? Who cares? It's real life. 110 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 3: So if you have a problem with that, maybe, I 111 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: don't know, move somewhere else exactly. 112 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: That I was actually I was in a car driving 113 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: to we were competing on a celebrity family feud, and 114 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: it just hit me and I just said, you know, 115 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: I do want to say something to these people, and 116 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: I do want to make my stunce clear. So yeah, 117 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: it was in the back of a car as we 118 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 2: were going to play family feud. 119 00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: Rock Well, that's all. 120 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 3: So do you think you know, I know we have 121 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: a little love story right now with the character Tommy, 122 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: But do you think we'll take some time to see 123 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 3: Buck's while dating adventures as he's discovering himself this season 124 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 3: and in seasons to come, do you want to see that? 125 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: I do? You know? I think the character of Tommy, 126 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: who's played by lou Is has been really really great, 127 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 2: and you know, I really enjoy lou and I don't 128 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. Right So we're obviously we're still making 129 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: season seven. We're not even close to finishing that yet, 130 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: so there's still a lot of this story left to 131 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 2: be told. But I would think that there's a world 132 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: where maybe he has opened this door for Buck and 133 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: now Buck needs to, you know, walk through it and 134 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: see what there can be and and and explore and 135 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: see what more there is to discover. So I mean, 136 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: that's certainly one route that I could envision or maybe not, 137 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: you know, maybe maybe this sticks around for a while 138 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: and and and Tommy really helps him, you know, understand 139 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: more about himself and his feelings. But yeah, if I 140 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: think maybe there's also an in between almost right where 141 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: where Tommy is still in his life but also understands 142 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: that this is new for Buck and that there are 143 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: some things that he has to go and figure out, 144 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: and maybe he can help guide him through that a 145 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: little bit. 146 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 3: That will be a really interesting journey to watch unfold. 147 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 3: And something else in one of the last episodes, when 148 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 3: your character came out to your sister played by the 149 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: brilliant Jennifer lafew And of course that was I think 150 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: a very relatable scene for so many people. For you, 151 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: what was it like filming that, knowing that that is 152 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: a scene so many people really do go through on 153 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 3: their everyday life. 154 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was a really lovely way to 155 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: show that moment where it wasn't this like big, overly dramatic, 156 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: you know, I'm being so brave moment. It kind of 157 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: it was. It was a little bit more on the 158 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: casual side, right where that for me is maybe in 159 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: fact an even brave way to show that moment where 160 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: where we didn't need to put all this weight and 161 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: depth on it, and he kind of just said, like, yes, 162 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: I was on a date with the guy. Okay, that's 163 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: not the point I'm making here. There's not that much 164 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: of a difference, and that's fine. I was on a 165 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: date with a guy. Can we actually get back to 166 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: the problem I was talking about. I thought it was 167 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: a nice, kind of lighthearted way to kind of show 168 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: that moment, and the scene that he has later in 169 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: the episode with Eddie is a little bit deeper and 170 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: a little bit heavier, so I think to kind of 171 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: have the contrast of the two and to show that, 172 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: you know, those conversations can feel different with different people 173 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 2: in your life, right, so that there, you know, ask 174 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: some people where it is going to be more casual 175 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 2: and lighthearted and an easier conversation, and in others where 176 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 2: maybe it does feel a little heavier and there's some 177 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 2: more processing to go through. 178 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it very much reminded me of the conversation I 179 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: had with my sister where she came over and I'm like, 180 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: I have something to tell you. You have three guesses here, 181 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: there are multiple choice. I got a girl pregnant, I 182 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: have an STD or engaged because you got a girl pregnant. 183 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 3: I'm like, really, now, I love that. So I appreciate 184 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 3: the lighter, you know, versions of the coming out scenes, 185 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: but like you said, there are heavier scenes as well. 186 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: Do you think we'll see more Buck coming out to 187 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: different people throughout the season? 188 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: The rest of the coming out so far anyway, and 189 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 2: we're only on episode eight. The moment that it's in 190 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: a much more subtle way. It's not leans too heavily 191 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 2: on because the other thing is, you know, this is 192 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: a big old cast and it's an ensemble show, and 193 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: there are a lot of different storylines going on at 194 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: the same time. So yeah, I actually really enjoy It's 195 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 2: in the next episode where he really kind of announces 196 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: it doesn't really announce it, but where everybody kind of 197 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: becomes aware of what's going on, and it's a small moment, 198 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: but it's a really lovely moment. 199 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: And that's coming out beginning of May right. 200 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, May second, I believe is our next episode. 201 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 3: Okay, May second. So if Buck had a theme song 202 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: for where he is in his life right now now, oh, 203 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 3: we think it would be what what would he be 204 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 3: jamming out to saying yeah. 205 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: This is this is me. 206 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: I so love when I asked questions like that, because 207 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: you know, suddenly I can't think of any song that's 208 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: ever been written by anyone. Suddenly I'm like, wait, what 209 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: is music? I don't know, so I guess it would 210 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 2: be so so I'm gonna I'm gonna skirt around it 211 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: and give a general answer. I don't know, but I 212 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: think it would be something very upbeat, right, I think 213 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 2: he's coming into his own and it's this like it's jubilation, right, 214 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: It's it's this is this thing that I've been looking for. 215 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, I. 216 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: Don't know what the song is. Maybe it's some kind 217 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: of dance track, even though I don't really want to 218 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: be dancing to it. But it's something where it's like 219 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: I'm ready to walk into rooms and own them. So 220 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: whatever song that is. And as I say, I couldn't 221 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 2: tell you the name of a song that's ever been written, 222 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: but that one is like. 223 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: You know what's gonna happen. 224 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 3: You're gonna go to bed tonight and not like two 225 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 3: am you'll wake up and be like damn man. 226 00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: I should have said, yeah. 227 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, can we can we jump back on that, can 228 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: I can I re reanswer. 229 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 3: If you think of Buck now and you think of 230 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 3: Buck from season one, what do you think he would 231 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: tell that guy? 232 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: I think that he doesn't need to try so hard, 233 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: you know. So Buck kind of in these early seasons 234 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: was always trying to prove himself to everybody. He always 235 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: wanted to be the first guy to run into the fire. 236 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: He always wanted to be the loudest. He always wanted 237 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: to be the one that was right. And it was 238 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: coming from a place of wanting to prove his self 239 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: worth right and because he wasn't feeling worthy of, you know, 240 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: accolades and of professional advancement and personal stuff. So yeah, 241 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: I think I think I would just tell him that 242 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 2: it's okay. You know, you don't have to try so hard. 243 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: You're you're you're still young, and you're still figuring things out, 244 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: and you're on the right path. Just lean on those 245 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 2: people around you and you'll find your way eventually. 246 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: Man. 247 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 3: Don't you feel like that's something so many of us 248 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 3: could have heard at a younger age. 249 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 2: Absolutely, which is like, honestly, one of the things I 250 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 2: really like about playing this part is, you know, I 251 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: feel like my journey very much has mirrored his. You know, 252 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: even if you go back to season one on the show, 253 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 2: he was the new one to the firehouse, he was 254 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 2: the youngest, and that was me coming into this cast 255 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 2: as well. I was, by father, least experienced. I was 256 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: the youngest, and so me and Buck kind of found 257 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 2: our feet together. So so yeah, I do think that's 258 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 2: what a lot of people in their twenties, you know, 259 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: would have needed to hear. I know I certainly did, 260 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 2: and it was playing this part and going through these 261 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 2: things in real life as well. As you know, the 262 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 2: lines have often been very blurred. 263 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 3: So with that being said, is there a storyline or 264 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: a moment throughout the last seven seasons or a character 265 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 3: even that you feel like has made you reflect on 266 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: your life in a certain way. 267 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 4: So Buck has a very strained or had anywhere we've 268 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 4: kind of moved past it a little bit, but he 269 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: had a very strange relationship with his parents, and I 270 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 4: don't parents are a wonderful, wonderful people, and they've been 271 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 4: great parents to. 272 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: Me, and I think if anything, you know, but they do. 273 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: They live in England and I live here in California. 274 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: So Dee, who plays my mom, on the show really 275 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: reminds me of my mom and so to have as 276 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 2: in not in the show that the actress reminds me 277 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: of my mom. So the kind of juxtaposition of the 278 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 2: way that Buck's parents treated him, I think just shined 279 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 2: a bit more of a light on how lucky I 280 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 2: was to have the kind of upbringing that I had 281 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: and made me a little bit more thankful but aware 282 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: of how grateful I am to them. So it certainly 283 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: I think maybe made me want to be even closer 284 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 2: to my parents and you know, even though we live 285 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 2: five thousand miles apart, reach out a little bit more 286 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: and make sure that I am being a good son 287 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,479 Speaker 2: to them, because it just highlighted not everybody has that relationship. 288 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so true, and it's so powerful when art 289 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 3: or a person or whatever you're involved in a given 290 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 3: moment of your life can have that effect where you 291 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 3: open your eyes to something like that and you're allowing 292 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 3: yourself to be open to something like that, to having 293 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 3: that realization. So that's pretty cool, man, What for you 294 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 3: is one of the greatest things you've learned about yourself 295 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 3: through doing the show? I imagine it's a I don't imagine. 296 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 3: I know, it's a lot of hard work, it's a 297 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: lot of hours, it's taxing, it. 298 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: Can be draining. 299 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 3: Among all the other beautiful, powerful, wonderful things, it's a job, 300 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 3: and you've been pushing yourself for years in this role. 301 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 3: Is there something that you're like, Man, I've learned this 302 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 3: about me. 303 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 2: I think the first thing that kind of comes to mind, 304 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: there is like one one thing I'm really proud of 305 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: myself for is like I've really tried to commit to 306 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: life outside of it as well, because it can be 307 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: kind of all consuming, you know, very early mornings and 308 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 2: late nights, and finding a way to make people around 309 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 2: you still feel included in your life and cared for, 310 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: whether that's people or dogs or whatever.

Well. 330 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 3: Going back to nine one one for a minute, when 331 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 3: I announced you as my guest, got lots of fan questions, 332 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 3: and the number one question that kept coming up, I 333 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: feel like you're smiling. 334 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, yeah, you know where I'm ask. 335 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: I feel like you know where I'm going. 336 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: But it might be a slightly different spin off, okay, 337 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 3: okay with it. So obviously people are wondering if there's 338 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 3: anything brewing between you and Eddie, and that's something that 339 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 3: a lot of people want to see. But I thought 340 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 3: this was interesting when you first met that character and 341 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: you seemed a little stand offish and maybe threatened and 342 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: not a big fan. Do you think it's because deep 343 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 3: down you had these something there brewing, but you didn't 344 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: know what it was. 345 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, very possibly. I yet, Okay, that is an interesting 346 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 2: spin on it, I give you that. Yeah, Yeah, I 347 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 2: think I think that's probably quite a wise way to 348 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: look at it, right and to have you know, obviously, 349 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: Eddie and Ryan plays him, is obviously an attractive man, 350 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 2: So I can see that that is something that you know, 351 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 2: the introduction of his character is literally Buck turning in 352 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: slow motion and what a man is? The soundtrack is playing, 353 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: you know. So so I think I think if we 354 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 2: look back at that moment, yes, there's definitely an element 355 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 2: of that which then you know, not knowing how to 356 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 2: deal and process those feelings, he kind of sectioned off 357 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 2: into some kind of jealousy and insecurity about himself. But yeah, 358 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 2: I think I think look, Buck was the like young 359 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 2: Gung ho action hero, he kind of guy at the 360 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 2: one eighteen, and then suddenly there was Eddie who could 361 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 2: do everything he could do and was also a single 362 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: father and an army vet and was all these really 363 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,719 Speaker 2: cool things. So yeah, I could absolutely see that some 364 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 2: of those early moments where they were kind of butting heads, 365 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 2: there was some kind of feeling there that Buck didn't 366 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 2: quite understand what it was. And obviously they've grown so 367 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 2: much closer now. But yeah, that kind of first episode. 368 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 2: It was fun to play as well, because obviously I 369 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 2: was having those feelings. I was like, there is this 370 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 2: new guy on the show, So yeah, I can get 371 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: on board with that. 372 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 3: And what I think I also heard you say is 373 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 3: possibly by season ten there might be a wedding. I mean, 374 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 3: you know, between me and Eddie, you just said it, not. 375 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 2: Me headline created who knows, you know, listen, I have 376 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 2: like supreme trust in these writers, and you know, so 377 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 2: Tim Mineer has come back to the show and he's 378 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 2: writing it and he's really fantastic, and as was Kristen 379 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 2: Rydell who used to write it, and it is still 380 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 2: in our writers' room. But you know, Tim was here 381 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 2: from the very beginning, and wherever he went, like when 382 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 2: he called me with this storyline, wherever he wants to 383 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,239 Speaker 2: take it, I'm following him because he's really excellent what 384 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 2: he does. And you know, it shows the show is 385 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 2: doing as well as it is because of the writing 386 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 2: and the world that has been created here. So hey, 387 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 2: if they write me at a wedding by season ten, 388 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: then I'm all for it. 389 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No, the writing is incredible and there's so 390 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 3: many reasons why the show has been killing it, especially 391 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 3: with the move to ABC. I mean, shout out to ABC. 392 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 3: We love you, ABC, but we're just super psyched that 393 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: they picked. 394 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: Up the show. 395 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: Were you ever worried that the show wasn't going to 396 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 3: get picked up? And how was that transition for you 397 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 3: over to ABC? 398 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 2: I mean, we kind of knew that it was not 399 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: going away going away, you know, we were pretty aware. 400 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 2: We weren't officially aware until the day that it happened, 401 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 2: in the morning of the announcement, but we kind of 402 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 2: heard lots of rumblings that, you know, it's probably going 403 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: to move over to ABC next year, and I guess 404 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 2: there was some kind of apprehension of Okay, what does 405 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 2: that mean? Are things going to feel different? And day 406 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 2: to day they don't feel any different. But the way 407 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: that it does feel different is that it's a season 408 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 2: one for ABC. So there's all this excitement and kind 409 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 2: of freshness to it that has just kind of infused 410 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 2: everything in the show. So yeah, so I think at 411 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 2: first there was we were just wondering what that would 412 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 2: feel like, but actually It's been a really smooth transition, 413 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 2: and ABC seemed really excited to have it, and that's 414 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: just such a nice feeling for us to get to 415 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 2: continue to make a show that we know so well 416 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: and truly like we have so much fun making and 417 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: now we're on a network who feel like, oh we've 418 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: got this brand new, shiny thing. It's a really nice 419 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 2: balance and collaboration. So yeah, it's really cool. And you know, 420 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 2: we've been renewed for season eight, so long may it continue. 421 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 3: It's pretty impressive all the numbers that have been coming 422 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 3: out of people watching it and acquiring new audiences, and 423 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 3: it really is one of the most popular shows on primetime. 424 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 3: So it's an important piece of television that needs to 425 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 3: be out there. 426 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: Oliver, the name of this show. 427 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: Is I've never said this before, So I'm wondering, is 428 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 3: there anything that comes to mind that you can think 429 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 3: of that maybe you haven't shared before in one of 430 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 3: your eight thousand interviews. 431 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: You count it, okay, so kind of I guess on 432 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 2: the same path of what we were talking about earlier 433 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 2: about in your twenties and finding yourself, and I guess 434 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: maybe in some ways I'm going to contradict myself because 435 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 2: I said, one of the things I'm proud of myself 436 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: for is committing to kind of life outside of the job. Right. 437 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: I was thinking about this recently, and you know, one 438 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 2: thing I wish that I had been better at in 439 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 2: my life, and I think this is a thing that's 440 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 2: maybe important for certainly young men in their twenties, is 441 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 2: I wish that I had committed more to like nurturing friendships. 442 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 2: Like I know a lot of people in my life, 443 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 2: but I don't know how many like friends I have 444 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 2: because I kind of just explain, Yeah, I don't know 445 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 2: if I myself out there enough to keep friendships alive 446 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: and thriving. And so I know a lot of people, 447 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 2: but I don't know how many people, you know, maybe 448 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: not more than I could count on my fingers, could 449 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 2: I like really go to with stuff. So I think 450 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: there was one thing that I could do differently about 451 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 2: the last I don't know, ten years of my life. 452 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: It would be to focus more on like building friendships. 453 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 2: And I think anybody that's kind of in the early 454 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: to mid twenties, I think, yeah, focus in on that, 455 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 2: because those are the people that you're really going to 456 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 2: want to have around you. And be able to lean on. 457 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: That's a really important point. 458 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 3: Is that something that is challenging to do now with 459 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: the job you have or you're kind of working on 460 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 3: that now. 461 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 2: It is challenging. I'm trying to do more of it. 462 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: But it's also it's like when you're in your late 463 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 2: twenties or thirties, So where do you meet new people 464 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: unless you work with them? You know, like I'm not 465 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: out going to bars every weekend, and yeah, it's like 466 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 2: how do you meet friends? Yeah, it's it's interesting. So 467 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 2: I hope to have the possibility to continue to work 468 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 2: on it, but yeah, I do. It's something that I 469 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: struggle with. 470 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: Well, thank you for sharing that. 471 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 3: I think that's a really important point, especially in this 472 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 3: day and age with social media and screens and tablets 473 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 3: and people living on their phones and devices and you know, 474 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 3: these replacing human interactions. I think that's a really good 475 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 3: reminder to continue making those quality connections, right, Quality. 476 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, that quality over quantity. 477 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: Yes. 478 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 3: Well cool, rock on man, I've so enjoyed hanging out 479 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: with you.
