WEBVTT - THE LEAD ACTORS TALK THE CLEANING LADY

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:01.720
<v Speaker 1>It's in the news today, but it was actually on

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>TV Reloaded podcast last week.

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Am I how would I describe a television set oh Man.

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Action from a headline grabbing point of view? The hack

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>producer for me says one hundred percent put him in.

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Thanks you, Mark, Welcome back guys to TV Reload. My

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>name is Benjamin Norris and on this podcast I go

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.279
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes with the biggest players in television.

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, great questions. The show's about the game.

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of great television out there in Australia.

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>But I've also got to go behind the scenes with writers.

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>The truth is, when I started writing it, it wasn't

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>had nothing to do with the news and casting agents

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>they know from a casting point of view what they need,

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and editors because that's what we do as editors where storytellers.

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Not to forget some incredible executive producers who are making

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>some of the best TV in Australia.

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I have been on the program since the beginning and

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of in my DNA.

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>So thanks for joining me each week and I hope

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the podcast continues to give you real insight into the

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>magic of television today. On the podcast, I have the

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>two leads, both actors are Loadi Jung and Aidan Canto

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>from Binga's latest big budget series, The Cleaning Lady. The

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>series revolves around a highly intelligent Cambodian doctor living in

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the USA as a cleaner while waiting for medical treatment

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>to save her son. The female lead, played by Jung,

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.199
<v Speaker 1>witnesses a brutal murder that places her in a situation

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>that is almost unimaginable as an audience, we see her

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>negotiating with a high level criminal played by Canto and

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>doing all that she can to stay in the USA

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.119
<v Speaker 1>and get the treatment that her son needs to stay alive.

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I have to say that this show is quite compelling

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>from episode one, and for people who love suspenseful dramas,

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>this offers more than just that. It's a fantastic character

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.399
<v Speaker 1>piece with performances that will keep you watching right to

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the very end. Both the leads flourish and roles that

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>will no doubt have them as household names. In years

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to come, we will discuss the need for more compelling

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 1>dramas with a wider variety of international stories and culture,

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>and also what it was like to work with Oliver Hudson,

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.919
<v Speaker 1>the son of Goldie Horn and brother of Kate Hudson. However,

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>let's get started with today's episode. I'd like to welcome

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>a load of young and aidan canto to this week's

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>episode of TV Reload.

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 5>It could have been completely a disaster.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:16.959
<v Speaker 3>Your son is sick.

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 4>I can to help him.

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes it was really tough to finish up.

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 5>Why do you want me to work for you?

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.399
<v Speaker 4>Because I like you?

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 5>They added this immigrant element. I was a doctor in

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.959
<v Speaker 5>the Philippines. My son needs the treatment or you want

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 5>me to.

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.239
<v Speaker 3>Me That's very compelling and I want I want to

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 3>see that.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry your visa it's expired. You mean turn to

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>work a five year old boy.

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 5>Initially, maybe you know people could have a misconception and

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 5>think his Hollywood royalty.

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey guys, how are you good?

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 5>How are you doing?

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Thank you Ben? How you doing?

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>I am doing so well. I just can't believe how

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>good this show is. I watched four episodes. I binged

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>it last night and it's so fantastic. So I just

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>want to say congratulations on the cleaning lady. What an

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>exciting project to be collaborating for the two of you.

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>On Alodie, did the two of you have chemistry straight away.

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 5>Straight away, and it's kind of odd. It just it

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 5>just happened, and you know when it happens, you're you're

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 5>happy on set because it could have been completely a disaster.

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 5>We've both talked about experiences in our careers where it

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 5>didn't go quite that way, and then you can you

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 5>kind of have to manufacture everything and really dig deep

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 5>in your I don't know your imagination. I'm not for sale.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 5>I did what I did to stay a NiFe, but

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 5>this is not who I am.

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 3>We have a doctor on call, doctor, sir Royan. I'm

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 3>not someone who kept it up.

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 4>Now. You're clearly a woman who's used to commanding respect.

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 4>That's what I'm offering you right now. Like you and

0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 4>I are both in the country.

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 3>That's not a wrong.

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 4>When not afforded the same privileges everybody else has when

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 4>it comes to keeping you so in life, it's not

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 4>about doing things the right way or the wrong way,

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 4>but anyway you can.

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 5>With aiden, it was just so easy, an instant, instant,

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 5>like we were just both laughing like kids, right.

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 4>I didn't.

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was hard to uh, sometimes it was really

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 3>tough to finish up. The crew hated us do you

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:33.039
<v Speaker 3>want to Yeah, it was. It was really funny. It

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 3>was funny because sometimes it would happen. And and then

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 3>also when we got in there, we got in there,

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.720
<v Speaker 3>and that was awesome. You know. It's you don't experience

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 3>it that much where uh, you know where I don't

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 3>have to do, you know, at work of the imagination

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 3>because she's in front of me, and she's living and

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.359
<v Speaker 3>breathing it, and and I don't need more than what

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 3>she's giving me to buy into the situation and uh

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 3>and and further take myself into it and be there

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 3>with her. You know, it's I really appreciate with that.

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Aiden, How would you describe the premise of this show

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>when friends have asked you, you know what you're working on?

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>How what's the best way to describe the themes of

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:14.559
<v Speaker 1>this show?

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 3>I think the most elemental, I guess conflict of the

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 3>show is a desperate mother that has to overstay her

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 3>visa in the United States, is doing whatever she can,

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 3>anything that she can to save her son's life, and

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 3>ends up involved in the criminal underground world in Las Vegas.

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 5>I don't need that kind of help.

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 4>Let me call me now, you think you're so smart?

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:48.800
<v Speaker 4>One phone call.

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 3>We won't make that.

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.599
<v Speaker 5>Call because hiring us is it e goal, and turning

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 5>us in only hurt yourself.

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Hey, you think you're talking to me, I said of

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 3>me to me, that's very compelling, and I want to

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 3>see that. That's what I was excited about when they

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 3>pitched the show to me. It was it's just such

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 3>a different kind of of reality, just thrown into this

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:15.919
<v Speaker 3>underground world in Vegas.

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy, well, Althodi. The series is based on an

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Argentinian TV series which ran in twenty seventeen. Did you

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.159
<v Speaker 1>watch that version before making this?

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 5>No, and I will. I haven't watched it yet, but

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 5>it's just it's a it's a choice because I don't

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 5>want to compare while i'm working to you know, I

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.919
<v Speaker 5>don't want to have a reference that's so vivid in

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 5>my mind that I'm going to automatically compare myself. I

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 5>just wanted to come fresh, new and be in the moment,

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 5>be present, and then just bring my own truth to it.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.039
<v Speaker 5>So I haven't watched it yet, but I'm really curious

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 5>to see it. I know there's a Mexican version as well,

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 5>so it'd be great. Now that we've accomplished one season

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 5>to see you know what there were doing with their world.

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 5>I know that from talking with Miranda and Melissa, they

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 5>added this immigrant element and the fact that Miranda wanted

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:16.679
<v Speaker 5>to have a Southeast Asian woman you know, represented also

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 5>on screen.

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>What if it was your son, I'm sorry, but anyone

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 2>who can't comply with all protocols is ineligible.

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, if you read again that paper work, you'll see

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 5>that I'm a doctor and one of the busiest medical

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 5>centers in Maneupa.

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Of course we'll compete.

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 3>You're in illegal.

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 2>We can't risk your son being deported before the fifty

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 2>two week trial period is over.

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Now, if you'll.

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, Institute of Simpson Medicine talking about this storyline

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>is new, but yeah, I will watch it.

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I will watch to compem now that we've done it.

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Iiden. Do you think that with streaming platforms now that

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 1>we're allowed to tell more niche stories?

0:07:58.960 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 5>You know?

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 3>I think it's an interesting way that you put the

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 3>question out that we're allowed to I think that there

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 3>was a maybe, uh something that wasn't discovered yet, and

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 3>this is a really cool thing that that streaming is doing.

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 3>From for example, what you do you have a podcasts right,

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 3>and podcast world is exploding because the long form, you know,

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 3>interviews are gold. You know, It's it's hard to lie

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 3>if I'm sitting with you in the mic in front

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 3>of me talking for an hour. You know, I can try,

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 3>but people are gonna smell it. And eventually I think

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.199
<v Speaker 3>it's it's the market is a lot more truthful, right,

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 3>you can. You can put out different kinds of stories

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.440
<v Speaker 3>out there and and get a true response from the

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 3>market now with streaming, and I think that's what's going

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 3>on right now, right because I don't know about you know,

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 3>the rest of the world, but certainly I have an

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:58.719
<v Speaker 3>interest to, you know, to explore worlds and realities. I

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 3>haven't experienced person you know, I've never been to Cambo

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 3>with Yeah, I've never been to the Philippines, and I've

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 3>never been to many many parts of the world. But

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 3>when you throw it all in this environment, in this

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 3>kind of ecosystem, and that's one of the beautiful things

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 3>as an actor. You get to do a lot of

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 3>research on things otherwise you wouldn't have had to, and

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 3>it expands your knowledge of the world and history and

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 3>all this. And anyway, I'm sorry, I'm rambling. But you know,

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 3>to your point, I don't know about you know aloud.

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 3>I just think it's great that we have this new

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.439
<v Speaker 3>reality that's expanding right now with you know, a market

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 3>that's that's very accurate and responsive to what you put out.

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, I think at the same time, when you

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>tell people about the premise of this, it does seem

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>a little out of the box, like something we haven't

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>seen before. And some of these characters as well, with

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>their culture and their heritage, that's opening the audience's minds.

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of what I meant. It's great to see

0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>different stories being told about different paper from different parts

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>of the world, and in such an amazing way. I mean,

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>this is such a big budget action suspense thriller, Like,

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just so amazing. One of the questions I wanted

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to ask you both though, is you know, starring alongside

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Oliver Hudson, you know, who is the son of Goldie

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Horn and brother of Kate Hudson. Did you get a

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 1>chance to ask him about what it's like to be

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.439
<v Speaker 1>part of such a successful acting family.

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 5>You know, I think Oliver is such you don't even

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 5>have to ask him about anything. Oliver doesn't have any filters,

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 5>and he would just like tell who we would tell

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 5>you everything about anything. So you went to Sammy'spirthday party

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 5>after all solid advice.

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 3>You're a very wise woman, which is why I'm surprised

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 3>that you're still playing games with me. We both know

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 3>that you're not telling me everything. Tell me.

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 5>But what I did appreciate about Oliver is that initially,

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 5>maybe you know, people could have a misconception and think

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:04.199
<v Speaker 5>his Hollywood royalty. But let me tell you that this man,

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 5>this actor, is the most humble I've ever met in

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 5>terms of he is so given and present when we're

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 5>in scenes. He doesn't have any ego, and he doesn't

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 5>think of himself of belonging to some you know, something

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 5>that is sperior to anything anybody else. So I really

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 5>appreciated that. And I know that they have such a

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 5>strong bond. You know, him and his mother and everyone

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 5>in his family. They're very tight. I know that his

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 5>mom wanted to come, but I think because of COVID

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.479
<v Speaker 5>it was not possible. So but they are very supportive,

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 5>I know from each other from what he is.

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>What a distraction though you know you don't tell mom

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>to come to the set when you're set up.

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 5>Can you imagine like my mom would have come and

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 5>set and nobody would have would not have been a

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 5>distraction at all. But yeah, in another story.

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Aiden, I watched the first few episodes last night, as

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I said a little bit earlier, and I'm just so hooked.

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.559
<v Speaker 1>You know, what were your reactions to reading the source material,

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>reading the scripts? Did you immediately think that this would

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 1>just be a lot of fun to make?

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean it's Uh. I was excited to go

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 3>in there and and uh and find the substance behind

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.839
<v Speaker 3>the situations that he was going through. And because there

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 3>there is there is a lot of substance. You know.

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes we'd shoot three page scenes, four page scenes and

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 3>and uh, we'd really go there. There's a few that

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 3>Eliti and I had in particular where there was just

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 3>so many peaks and valleys, like four scenes in one

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 3>and and that's fantastic, but you know, you really have

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 3>to base it on a solid foundation. And uh, and

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 3>also come on like you have action. You know, you

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 3>you're and beating people up and they make me look

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 3>so strong. It's crazy not strong, I have to say

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 3>that's it is my aim to be strong. But but

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, I did get a lot of help and

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 3>and uh, it was a lot of fun to do.

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 3>That's something as you know, as a kid, I've always

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 3>loved that, and I grew up shooting weapons with my father,

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, and responsibly, you know, all these knowledge on

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 3>all these things, and it was a really beautiful situation to,

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, to be able to do that.

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Watching it with my partner last night, as soon as

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you turned up on the screen, I said to my partner,

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>he's a good looking man, isn't he? And then my

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>partner said, what about her? She's beautiful, So you know,

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a nice compliment for the two of you. But

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>my last question that I have to ask you before

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you go, because we're on such a tight time frame,

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>is a question I ask everyone on my podcast, and

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>that is, what's an amazing story from behind the scenes

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>of making this that we as an audience.

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 5>Well on screen, you know, I know that for Tony,

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 5>you're going to see a lot of she's heartbroken and

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.559
<v Speaker 5>she cries a lot off scene. I would just laugh

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 5>a lot. It was just I've never had a filming

0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.040
<v Speaker 5>like this where you know, we had such a good

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 5>connection that it was sometimes when they needed to say, okay, guys,

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.079
<v Speaker 5>you're you're ready, can we do it?

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was and then you'd slip back into crying, you.

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 5>Know, because you know it was so have you. I

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 5>needed to do this. I know I needed to do

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 5>this because otherwise you get a little depressed and crazy.

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 5>So you you take five seconds and you have a

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 5>good laugh and and then you're you're back fresh, you know,

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 5>and then you can go deeper in the what it

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 5>is to fight for your for your son.

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent. Well, I just want to say that,

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, with all that we've been through in the

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>world with covid uh and television has become so important

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>for a bit of escapism away from you know, what

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 1>we've all been going through. And this is show. I
