44
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: I mean I'm going to say, because I grew up

45
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: in Adelaide, I'm going to say the Adelaide Hills. There

46
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: are some beautiful, beautiful spots in the Adelaide deals.

47
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: I like greenery in general.

48
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: I think I'm a you know, I'm more of like,

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: if I was to have a view, I would rather

50
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: rather than a warterview. I'd rather like a green, like

51
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: a beautiful forest vibe view.

52
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a theory that people love that love would

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: pick forest over ocean. This is some psychology thing. Not

54
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: afraid of death. I'm not afraid of death really. Yeah,

55
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 1: that's so interesting. Oh I've never heard that.

56
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: I'm genuinely not afraid of death. I'm afraid of a

57
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: painful death. I don't want to or a terrifying death.

58
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: Definitely don't want to be plummeting in a Yeah. Burn alive, yeah,

59
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: don't burn alight.

60
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: No, thank you.

61
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: But the actual if someone said you're going to bed

62
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: tonight and you're not going to wake up, I'd be

63
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: like that, yeah, okay.

64
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: Oh wow, what a gift.

65
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I'd feel horrible for people who care about me, Like,

66
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: I know that would be horrible because I it is

67
00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: horrible to lose.

68
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: But for me, yeah, I know. I don't sure.

69
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: This is why you love Ricky Gervais. He talks about

70
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: that quite a bit, right, He's like, it's not bad

71
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: for me, it's bad for you. Okay. Is there a

72
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: movie you've seen recently or an actor where you're.

73
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: Like, oof, the movie that blew my socks off. Recently

74
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: was a movie called Close, which it's about these two boys.

75
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: I can't remember. I think it's from a Scandinavian country

76
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: or is it from Austria, Austria or Germany or something

77
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 3: like that.

78
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: It's been a while since I saw it.

79
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: It is an extraordinary film. I think it was on

80
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: a can a couple of years ago. But anyway, amazing actor.

81
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of this guy, Josh O'Connor who

82
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: played the young Prince Charles in The Crown and is

83
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: in Challenges and there's another movie he's in. He's kind

84
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: of really on fire at the moment and he's he's

85
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: got heat. I would say he's got heat, but he's

86
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: really good. I'm super impressed by him and Feist actually

87
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: who I worked with them by Brins and is also

88
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: in Challenges.

89
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: Is another breed Combo.

90
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: Was amazing in Challenges.

91
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're both superb there.

92
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't give your heads up on this once,

93
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: so you can pass it. Is there a play that

94
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: you just love that you could go back to, like

95
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: an old classic like a Tennessee or an.

96
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 3: Arthursan I do love. Well, this isn't a classic yet,

97
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: Maybe Well, I must probably getting there. August of Sage County.

98
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 3: I love I love that play. I think that is

99
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: what's kind of an instant classic. Really, Yeah, that's i'd say,

100
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: August of Sage County.

101
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: Is there anything on your bucket list that you're like, oh,

102
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: like play or move, like working with someone. Is there

103
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: anyone where you're like, oh, I'd love to work with them,

104
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: or a play you'd love to work on.

105
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I'd love to work with Meryl Streep.

106
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: That's a very cliche but thing to say, but she's

107
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: so good in terms of like a role or something

108
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: I would love to do. Like I've played a few

109
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: real people before, but always in little bits. I would

110
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: love to do, like a really deep dive kind of

111
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: thing where you are I guess, like say playing Truman Capote,

112
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: that Philip Hoffman did that kind of role. I mean,

113
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: they don't come along very often, and that that may

114
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: never come along, but that that would be like a

115
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: true dream to be able to really have something do

116
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: something like.

117
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: That million dollar question?

118
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: Though?

119
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: Would you want them to still be alive?

120
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: Probably better if they would weren't.

121
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: I think I think that's that's I played the manager

122
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: of in excess. Chris Murphy sadly passed away a couple

123
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: of years ago, but and he was a producer on

124
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: the show, and he was offered on set, I'd be like,

125
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: I could see him in my proofer vision as I

126
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 3: was doing him. I'd be like, Chris, I love you,

127
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 3: but I can't. Please don't be in.

128
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: It's really weird seeing you while I'm being here.

129
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wild slash fun though fun. Did he have

130
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: feedback after?

131
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: Would he be like, no, he was actually incredibly generous

132
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: and lovely and yeah, no, he was awesome.

133
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 1: Final question, little tip bit of advice for an actor.

134
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: You can pick whatever you want. You can use something

135
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: from the long form interview we just did.

136
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: I guess Yeah.

137
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: Look, as a general thing, I would just say, work

138
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: out what you're good at, what your thing is, what

139
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: you're likely to be cast in. And that doesn't mean

140
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 3: pick one thing. It might be one thing, or the

141
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: one thing might be that it's anything you know like,

142
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 3: but just work out what you and try and be

143
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: as objective as you can. It's hard when you're talking

144
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: about yourself because most people who want to be actors

145
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: think they can do it, because why would they do it? Otherwise,

146
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: but try and really get a gauge of you know,

147
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: like I know that I can't really sing. I can

148
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: sing okay, but I'm not a singer. And that's probably

149
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: a bit easier to tell because you can just sing

150
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: something and play it back and go, well that's out

151
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: of tune. Acting's a bit more, you know, you've got

152
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 3: to nuance, You've got to like one person's good actor

153
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: is not necessarily the same for someone else. But I

154
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: think try and get a grasp of what your thing is,

155
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 3: what you're good at, what you're capable of, and then

156
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: take it from there so that you're being realistic about

157
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: you know, and can then also try and navigate the

158
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: industry in a way that works to your benefit that.
