So I love it 51 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: Atlanda and you know the time travel element with Claire 52 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: going from forty five to seventeen forty three with a 53 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: totally different set of conflicts going on, and she's like 54 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: sharing the uber red Uberta. But if you could travel 55 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: to any time or era, what would you choose? If 56 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: you got a spot in the history that you'd love 57 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: to go to or maybe the future. 58 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I've been asked this question over the years, 59 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: and you know what, I've never really come up with 60 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 3: the perfect answer because there's you know, so many periods 61 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 3: of history that I'd love to go back to, where 62 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 3: there's you know, the ancient Egyptians seeing how they built pyramids, 63 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: back to you know, the dawn of civilization. But perhaps 64 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 3: I would go back to when when I first started outlanding, 65 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: just like I don't know, sneak up beside myself and say, hey, 66 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: you're going to have such a bloss on this nice. 67 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, Now tell us about the other thing that you're 68 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 1: doing with fans, a whiskey tasting experience. Trust a Scotsman 69 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: to have. 70 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 3: A wors I mean, you know, I know there may 71 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 3: be whiskey involved, who knows. But no, I have a 72 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 3: spirits company says like spirits we are you know on 73 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: the press office? Should I say of bringing our alcohol 74 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: to Australia which will be really exciting. But yeah, I 75 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 3: have also a cocktail book coming out this year, so yeah, 76 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: I might talk a little bit about making cocktails. I 77 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 3: actually tried a Tasmanian whiskey last. 78 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: Night, which was well, of course it would be you know, 79 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's research, isn't it. 80 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: That's research, very thoroughly. Research would be remissive. 81 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: You not really any cost of or a text break, 82 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: you know you're going to put that in. 83 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: Yes, my account, I'm very happy with you. 84 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: Well, you've got to be very happy with the Royal 85 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: Shakespeare Company, Thank you very much. 86 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: Macbeth. Are you feeling say it. 87 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: That's Scottish flight? Oh no, actually we're not in that. 88 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: We can say it outside the theater. 89 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're you're you're okay, there's I mean, yeah, 90 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 3: there are a. 91 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: Lot of worry about yeah, yeah, well. 92 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, the headsages. I've got this shocking haircut. Actually 93 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 3: I shaved my head for it. We were doing some 94 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: press for it. We've shot, you know, our promo material 95 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: and we haven't started rehearsals yet. But I'm really excited. 96 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 3: It's sort of full circle moment for me because I 97 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 3: started in theater some twenty plus years ago, so it 98 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: will be great to return back to them. 99 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: I imagine that. I mean, you know Macbeth with the 100 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: Royal Shakespeare Company. To me, it does It doesn't sound 101 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: like it gets any bigger than that for a stage performance. 102 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: It just is doing movies and The Outlander and all 103 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: of that. Is that so that you can do things 104 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: like this, do you know what I mean? 105 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely. It's a very different muscle and it's 106 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: a different world. But as I said, it's where I started, 107 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: and it just feels like the right thing to do now. 108 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 3: But there's no pressure because the last people to play 109 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: and Lady Macbeth in the theater that we're doing it 110 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 3: in Stratford upon Even was Ian mckellnon and Judy Dench, 111 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 3: so there's. 112 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: No novices, no pressure no pressure at all, no pressure 113 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: at all for you know, so Laurence Olivia nominated in 114 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: the past. Man, you'll be it'll be walking back. 115 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. You've done your research. But yeah, no, 116 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: I mean as I said, it was. You know, I 117 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 3: grew up in theater and before I got Outlander, and 118 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: I worked a lot in the UK, in London's West 119 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 3: End or in Scotland doing theater. But it has been 120 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 3: fifteen years since I've been on. I've treaded the boards, 121 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 3: so it'll be certainly the first night might be nerve wracking. 122 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: It'll be like riding a bike now, Sam. We love 123 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: to ask people where they were when they got the 124 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: call to tell them they got the role. Do you 125 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: remember where you were, like we were, you know, at 126 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: the shops picking out some fruit or something when you 127 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: got the call that you got Outlander or yeah. 128 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 3: I'm not sure it was fruit that I was picking out, 129 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 3: but I was. I was in a grocery story. Why 130 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 3: are you Really in Love? Yeah? Yeah, and my agent 131 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 3: called and I was. I remember just dropping the shopping 132 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: that i'd been gathered, which was very was not very 133 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 3: good of me, but I just I walked straight out 134 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 3: and I think they walked straight to the pub around 135 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 3: the corner because my friends were just by chance, and 136 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: we certainly celebrated that that night. And yeah, it was incredible. 137 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: It was a real moment because you know, I was 138 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 3: working in bars and restaurants and obviously a jobbing actor, 139 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 3: but it really did change my life. 140 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: Oh you've got to be prepared when you come to Perth. 141 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: There's a big Scottish community here, so you might get 142 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 2: mobbed at supern Ivor. Because I never done the Reid 143 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 2: Brothers from your proclaimers, can they get mobbed as well? 144 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 3: So you never die as well. I hope they'll be 145 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: singing a rendition of a one hundred miles then when 146 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: I arrived. But no, I mean that's great. I mean 147 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 3: there's always there's this great Scottish connection down down here, 148 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 3: and it's been really interesting to see that. You know, 149 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 3: when we did many kilts over New Zealand, you know, 150 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 3: seeing the connection there to Scotland is great. So it 151 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 3: does it. You guys have got perhaps a warmer landscape 152 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 3: than we do.
