How did that come about for you? 16 00:00:48,884 --> 00:00:51,324 Speaker 4: It came back through an audition I did in Sydney. 17 00:00:51,844 --> 00:00:54,084 Speaker 4: They were looking for John Gray. I got the audition 18 00:00:55,164 --> 00:00:58,444 Speaker 4: brief from my agent and I had barely time to 19 00:00:58,484 --> 00:01:01,244 Speaker 4: prepare for it, maybe a night or two. I honestly 20 00:01:01,284 --> 00:01:04,884 Speaker 4: didn't look at the auditions hill very closely at all, 21 00:01:04,964 --> 00:01:07,484 Speaker 4: and I thought I'd just go in and see what happens. 22 00:01:07,884 --> 00:01:10,284 Speaker 4: A week later, I was on a playing to Scotland. 23 00:01:09,924 --> 00:01:11,764 Speaker 5: And I look at you know you've come.

Was 29 00:01:22,364 --> 00:01:23,564 Speaker 2: that just the universe choice? 30 00:01:23,644 --> 00:01:25,764 Speaker 1: It was to your agent only shows with Home in 31 00:01:25,804 --> 00:01:27,124 Speaker 1: the name, but. 32 00:01:27,164 --> 00:01:29,524 Speaker 2: You played logan that was like, were you on that 33 00:01:29,644 --> 00:01:31,083 Speaker 2: for a long time? On Home and Away? 34 00:01:31,084 --> 00:01:33,003 Speaker 3: You were there for a while. It's a deep cut, 35 00:01:35,044 --> 00:01:35,283 Speaker 3: he was. 36 00:01:35,324 --> 00:01:37,283 Speaker 4: No, I wasn't not on that for very long at all. 37 00:01:37,724 --> 00:01:39,563 Speaker 4: I think it was on that for three months. But 38 00:01:39,604 --> 00:01:42,563 Speaker 4: it did make a huge impact to me at the time. 39 00:01:42,604 --> 00:01:44,844 Speaker 4: It was my first gigs out of drama school, and 40 00:01:44,924 --> 00:01:50,244 Speaker 4: I remember acting opposite Samara Weaving, who's gone great things. 41 00:01:50,444 --> 00:01:56,204 Speaker 4: I came in and I ruined Samara's marriage. I have 42 00:01:56,324 --> 00:01:59,684 Speaker 4: the claim to fame of getting to have a kiss 43 00:01:59,724 --> 00:02:00,604 Speaker 4: with Samara Weaving. 44 00:02:02,004 --> 00:02:06,324 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is an indelicate question. You know, you're relatively young, 45 00:02:06,364 --> 00:02:12,604 Speaker 1: You're on a set. Is it closed mouth these days? 46 00:02:14,043 --> 00:02:17,284 Speaker 4: Look on Outlander you have intimacy coordinated, so every single 47 00:02:17,444 --> 00:02:21,124 Speaker 4: piece of physical choreography is talked about, and you know 48 00:02:21,284 --> 00:02:24,604 Speaker 4: you have all kinds of consent and discussions beforehand. I 49 00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,883 Speaker 4: think back back when I did Home and Away, I 50 00:02:26,923 --> 00:02:28,844 Speaker 4: think it was a bit more sort of just. 51 00:02:30,564 --> 00:02:31,883 Speaker 1: And hope that you're pasted. 52 00:02:31,964 --> 00:02:36,483 Speaker 5: Okay, And there's possibly Hugo standing in the wings old man. 53 00:02:37,204 --> 00:02:38,524 Speaker 2: That could be I think his uncle. 54 00:02:38,764 --> 00:02:43,924 Speaker 5: He's the uncle anyways, uncle but related nonetheless, because he's 55 00:02:43,964 --> 00:02:45,284 Speaker 5: an intimidating dude. 56 00:02:45,803 --> 00:02:47,884 Speaker 2: You know, I've seen the matrix. I wouldn't want him 57 00:02:47,923 --> 00:02:49,764 Speaker 2: to stand around and look about it either. 58 00:02:50,204 --> 00:02:52,564 Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to haunt his niece. That 59 00:02:52,603 --> 00:02:54,964 Speaker 1: would be unusual if he turns up on sets he 60 00:02:55,124 --> 00:02:55,684 Speaker 1: was on. 61 00:02:55,764 --> 00:02:58,724 Speaker 3: Set that that would have been amazing. 62 00:02:58,884 --> 00:03:04,524 Speaker 4: Actually, Hugo Weaving watch me kiss his niece and then say, 63 00:03:04,844 --> 00:03:07,444 Speaker 4: very good, that's all. 64 00:03:07,324 --> 00:03:10,284 Speaker 1: Your dream of.
