Speaker 2: from NCIS Sydney, Olivia Swan and Todd Lasance, who are
Speaker 2: fantastic in these roles, which I'm very excited to talk
Speaker 2: about today. NCIS Sydney is set amongst the spectacular backdrop
Speaker 2: of one of the world's most breathtaking Harvard City, Sydney, Australia.
Speaker 2: Of course, the first ever international series from the global
Speaker 2: NCAIS franchise has already premiered on Paramount Plus this week,
Speaker 2: and I have to say I'm already hooked on the drama.
Speaker 2: I will find out about the infamous bond the actors
Speaker 2: formed on the set and what it was like to
Speaker 2: step into these new characters iconically connected to the NCIS universe.
Speaker 2: Todd will talk about the importance of strong women on
Speaker 2: screen and why he was beyond impressed with Olivia's acting
Speaker 2: chops taking on this role. Olivia will then talk about
Speaker 2: being cast in NCIS Sydney after the River Wild and
Speaker 2: what it was like to work in Australia on such
Speaker 2: a big production. Plus, we will get plenty of exclusives
Speaker 2: from behind the scenes of NCIS Sydney, which you can
Speaker 2: now watch on Paramount Plus. Anyway, guys, let's bring Olivia
Speaker 2: and Todd into the podcast and guys, I hope you
Speaker 2: enjoy this very exciting look at NCIS Sydney, which I
Speaker 2: can't wait for you guys to watch. Hi, how are
Speaker 2: you both?
Speaker 3: Are we lit well? This is actually great, Lily.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take this natural light.
Speaker 3: You should have seen that trash. I looked in that,
Speaker 3: but you better not be recording that.
Speaker 2: I myself have just some natural lighting happening. I'm in
Speaker 2: Warburton and in regional Victoria. So and also I haven't
Speaker 2: a little fire in the back that looks like the
Speaker 2: fires one of those fireplaces that's tried to burn down
Speaker 2: the house. I think it's just the light.
Speaker 3: Hey, question, is this your place?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, this is so. This is our holiday house,
Speaker 2: so I come here.
Speaker 3: Further, is it an actual log cabin.
Speaker 2: It's made of actual log so as you can see here,
Speaker 2: if the lights on the other side, from where the
Speaker 2: sun is, you can can sometimes see the light coming
Speaker 2: through the log. So you really do need the fire on.
Speaker 3: I'm so impressed you have this.
Speaker 1: The spliders get in right.
Speaker 2: I was just about to say that to you because
Speaker 2: you'd be really scared. So one thing about this place
Speaker 2: is we have a lot of huntsmen's.
Speaker 3: Now yeah, look, I'm not going to.
Speaker 1: Lie I that because the house is trying to burn
Speaker 1: itself down.
Speaker 3: Load spiders. I don't like huntsmans. And if I have huntsmen,
Speaker 3: if there's any activists, insect activists out there, turn your
Speaker 3: ears off. I will relocate them to a better life
Speaker 3: because I don't want them coming back in. Like we
Speaker 3: had one the other day and it was like monster
Speaker 3: in the house and I was like, yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: need to think about that at night.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think if you were as scared of spiders,
Speaker 2: you'd probably have left. You traveled back home to Melbourne
Speaker 2: by that stage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. You got a log cabin, I
Speaker 3: mean very brief. You get a sprayed see every week,
Speaker 3: every week.
Speaker 2: Every week, and I actually do have. Anyway, we're going
Speaker 2: off on a tangent here is about seek to repellent
Speaker 2: and be like, I've got this right on the ready,
Speaker 2: so just engage. Anyway, this show is so exciting, and
Speaker 2: you know what's really nice about this is the ground
Speaker 2: swell about you all working on this show was that
Speaker 2: you all had a lot of fun and that the
Speaker 2: cast really clicked.
Speaker 1: It's so hard to kind of describe without sounding completely
Speaker 1: like you're just saying it for the sake of seeing it.
Speaker 1: But when we say click to instantly family vibes from
Speaker 1: the goal, the level of vulnerability and safety and security
Speaker 1: and support from day one was off the charts, and.
Speaker 3: The first week, well, I don't think we mentioned this,
Speaker 3: but the first week we went to a dinner together
Speaker 3: and we went around the table and we each talked
Speaker 3: about the struggles, what it took to get to this moment,
Speaker 3: what it means to be, how much it means to
Speaker 3: us as far as from an emotional standpoint, family standpoint,
Speaker 3: career standpoint, and we all had moments of just being
Speaker 3: in tears at one point or the other, and it
Speaker 3: was like, this is it for us, and we live
Speaker 3: because we do so much together. I felt like I
Speaker 3: gained a sister. I remember calling my wife and my
Speaker 3: family just going I've literally gained another family member. And
Speaker 3: to go to set each day and have that support
Speaker 3: and trust is one in a million. It's one of
Speaker 3: those things where it's like it's almost frustratingly perfect, because
Speaker 3: you're like, we just want to do this.
Speaker 1: Forever, and I just feel like it's jobs are now
Speaker 1: ruined because you can get.
Speaker 3: Better than this, you won't. You've set a benchmark, which
Speaker 3: is okay.
Speaker 1: To being back on your point. I kind of just
Speaker 1: also couldn't believe that I was working with someone who
Speaker 1: is just so impeccable on like every single level. So
Speaker 1: like I'm paying so as a friend, as a co worker,
Speaker 1: as a human like Todd brought every level of enthusiasm
Speaker 1: and passion and joy to work every single day, and
Speaker 1: even with offset, it was just the best vibe. And
Speaker 1: I couldn't have asked for anyone better to share most
Speaker 1: of my scenes, but it was just well it was
Speaker 1: so beautiful.
Speaker 2: You go, I member, you can't manufact manufacture this stuff.
Speaker 2: I mean they try and manufacture.
Speaker 3: We hope that that chemistry translates because we are having
Speaker 3: so much fun. And I've said before that this is
Speaker 3: this is like a bit more of a technical acting
Speaker 3: industry side of things, but so much stuff you get
Speaker 3: sent where you're like, yeah, I'll do it because you
Speaker 3: need a job, but the subject matter or the tone
Speaker 3: of it, or the people involved, but this ticks like
Speaker 3: every single box. So to go to work every day,
Speaker 3: and I had the birth of my child throughout the
Speaker 3: whole process. You know, we had medical elements that were
Speaker 3: going on as well to do with that as any
Speaker 3: birth sort of does. And then coming to work with
Speaker 3: that stress and being able to pour that into Olivia
Speaker 3: and the cast and have that one hundred percent support
Speaker 3: and still be delivering every day and doing sixty five
Speaker 3: hour weeks and not sleeping, and like it's huge. It's
Speaker 3: like you you know, it make or breaks people. But
Speaker 3: we if that translates on screen, then I think we
Speaker 3: have something really special.
Speaker 2: It is translating. I mean I've only seen the first
Speaker 2: four episodes, but yes, it does translate. It does feel
Speaker 2: like there's a vibe there. I hope Olivia, that you've
Speaker 2: been asked to be the godmother? Is that what's going
Speaker 2: on here?
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the fictle invitation. But I will add
Speaker 1: that I went back to London with really deep laugh
Speaker 1: lines because I spent everything every single day, I laughed
Speaker 1: and I smiled without the doubt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was the best.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I was going to say, well, NCAA Sydney
Speaker 2: is finally you know, it's finally here. And it feels
Speaker 2: like we've been owed an Australian version of this show
Speaker 2: for quite some time. You know, we've had seen the
Speaker 2: American ones. They're all hugely stupidly popular, you know, with Hawaii,
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, New Orleans. Do you know how long they
Speaker 2: were circling the idea of bringing the franchise internationally and
Speaker 2: how they came to want to do it in Australia
Speaker 2: versus maybe England or anywhere else.
Speaker 3: I actually don't know what the exception idea was, but
Speaker 3: it's been quite a while because the inception of the
Speaker 3: idea needs to be pitched. Then they need to go
Speaker 3: into the writer's room and then pitch, hey, what would
Speaker 3: you do? That needs to get approved, Then the series
Speaker 3: needs to be developed, then they need to write it.
Speaker 1: And I think they were just they were tossing up
Speaker 1: where to do it, like would it be in Europe,
Speaker 1: would it be you know, Australia, somewhere else? And it's
Speaker 1: that they were all those ideas on but in terms
Speaker 1: of length of thought process, I have no idea.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm assuming it would have been boiling
Speaker 3: around for a couple of years at least, and then
Speaker 3: you know, what is it a six month process to write?
Speaker 3: So it's a big you know, and you have a
Speaker 3: big writer's team that steps in and as you know,
Speaker 3: I mean, you're joining a family, but you're also joining
Speaker 3: a highly successful franchise, so it's like you've got to
Speaker 3: bring that energy and you've got to match it and
Speaker 3: you've got to step up and it's got to be
Speaker 3: on that level, and it's got to be in the
Speaker 3: right tone, and you know, so there's a lot of Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of working parts to it because they
Speaker 3: know they know what they want.
Speaker 2: You know, Olivia, what was your relationship with the show?
Speaker 2: I mean, did you watch a lot of ncas over
Speaker 2: the years? I mean it's been on television for nearly
Speaker 2: two decades.
Speaker 1: I mean no, honestly, I didn't watch much of it.
Speaker 1: But it's one of those shows that you know of
Speaker 1: it even if you've never seen an episode. So it's
Speaker 1: just like everybody knows.
Speaker 2: That you needed to go to a log cabin like
Speaker 2: where I am and just a real deep dive into
Speaker 2: the show. We're joining it.
Speaker 1: I didn't it once I got cast. I checked out
Speaker 1: the original. I checked out Hawaii, just I think more
Speaker 1: to get a the world and you know what kind
Speaker 1: of tone it was and how it operated. But I
Speaker 1: think more than that, I don't know. I didn't want
Speaker 1: infringe on creating something new to be part of that
Speaker 1: and true, you know, just allow what we're creating to
Speaker 1: be organic and not to be too preconceived.
Speaker 3: And it's a fine life. Yeah, it's a really fine
Speaker 3: You do your research and it's like great, but then
Speaker 3: you don't want to match any of the energy because
Speaker 3: they you want.
Speaker 2: To personate it. Right, Like I said, it will all
Speaker 2: be the same.
Speaker 3: So true, so true. And I think the nuance of
Speaker 3: ours is that it is different geographically, but also with
Speaker 3: all the other traditional ncis as it's been, and this
Speaker 3: is not a comparison. This is just a new, fresh approach.
Speaker 3: They've been established like families, like here's the new family
Speaker 3: that you're going to go on the journey with. Great,
Speaker 3: here's the new team. Whereas our teams there's two separate teams.
Speaker 3: We're colliding. There's cultural differences, there's.
Speaker 1: The two top dogs that want.
Speaker 3: To be on top. Whose jurisdiction is it who takes
Speaker 3: the lead on this? But then there's also this fluidity
Speaker 3: in this. It's like like water flowing between the two
Speaker 3: of us, where when we're on the job, man, that
Speaker 3: synergy is there and we know how to work together.
Speaker 3: But then it's also there's always that clashing and they
Speaker 3: never drop that. You know when you see a series
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh, I love this friction between them.
Speaker 3: And then by episode six it's like, no, we're besties.
Speaker 3: They eat that tension.
Speaker 1: I think Mark and you keep each other accountable.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: About those popular shows though, like The X Files with
Speaker 2: you know, David Dakogne. You know, they managed to do
Speaker 2: nine seasons, no, I think it might have been even
Speaker 2: ten seasons of that show, and they were able to
Speaker 2: create like a tension that didn't ever subside. Like it
Speaker 2: just made you want to delve a little bit deeper
Speaker 2: into those characters, and you have to build a very
Speaker 2: rich character to be able to have that space still
Speaker 2: maintaining that kind of friction, which I would say to
Speaker 2: me as a non actor, that would be very hard
Speaker 2: to put together.
Speaker 1: You know, depends on it.
Speaker 3: But it's that same thing of like I think that's
Speaker 3: why we all talk about it so much because you
Speaker 3: don't have this. This doesn't happen. You can't. You never
Speaker 3: get a chance, or you're not never. But it's very
Speaker 3: rare that you step into a situation it's like, let's go.
Speaker 1: On the same page. Everyone's all in. I'm just so
Speaker 1: ready to commit. You'll see towards the end of the
Speaker 1: season the work that Todd does with JD is just
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable and his ability to just be so vulnerable
Speaker 1: and to open himself and the character up in such
Speaker 1: a beautiful, heartbreaking way. And I think, you know, that's
Speaker 1: just a testament to you, but also to the family
Speaker 1: and the vibe that we created to create this safety
Speaker 1: that he was able to feel like he could do.
Speaker 3: That, and I did need that for sure. It's hard
Speaker 3: to encapsulate across like a career, but this would be again,
Speaker 3: this is probably like a nice little lead in as
Speaker 3: to where we go to and something unique to the
Speaker 3: NCIS franchise that we've never seen before. I got to
Speaker 3: go to an emotional place and an emotional tensity that
Speaker 3: I don't think I've experienced for ten years in my career.
Speaker 3: So it's like they wrote that for me. They gave
Speaker 3: us that that they gave me that gift to bring
Speaker 3: for you know, the series finale, and then I had
Speaker 3: to step in with a livery and we're like, we're
Speaker 3: doing this, you know, will You've got to jump off
Speaker 3: the off the ledge together and go full trust because
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be able to try to deliver these moments
Speaker 3: and do them justice if it wasn't for her being
Speaker 3: there and going I got you every day, let's you know,
Speaker 3: and it's a month. You're shooting that for a month,
Speaker 3: and a lot of the content was trying not to
Speaker 3: give away, but like close to home as well, So
Speaker 3: it was very it was it was the actor's dream
Speaker 3: as far as getting to, you know, have an opportunity
Speaker 3: to expand your work and on and on a large
Speaker 3: scale too, which is really exciting. But I just went
Speaker 3: all in on it, and I just hope that it
Speaker 3: sort of translates because you would never expect that sort
Speaker 3: of thing from an NCIS. So it's that's that's exciting too.
Speaker 3: They've got they've got that emotional payoff at the end,
Speaker 3: but they've also got this overarching enemy and this threat
Speaker 3: and potentially a threat from within too, which they don't
Speaker 3: they haven't dealt in before too. So it's exciting.
Speaker 2: And with a lot of shows that are franchised overseas,
Speaker 2: you know you are still comparing it episode on episode
Speaker 2: with audiences. With this, there is an access point which
Speaker 2: is great, and that's given by the ends to CIS brand,
Speaker 2: But the characters are so compelling that we're actually moving
Speaker 2: away from that each episode that again it's hard for
Speaker 2: us to have that perspective.
Speaker 3: So that's good you see that, Ben, because we don't.
Speaker 3: You know, we haven't seen a lot either and seeing
Speaker 3: it as a we've been there through the whole process,
Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean we can see it with a
Speaker 3: third eye because we've been so invested in it. We
Speaker 3: need to see all the eight episodes back to back
Speaker 3: to that. Okay, I understand that, but that's what we want.
Speaker 3: You want that give them something different and give give
Speaker 3: the hardcore fans what they want to see as well,
Speaker 3: but also push the boundaries, which I feel they are.
Speaker 1: In this totually agree. I think, Yeah, not afraid to
Speaker 1: do certain things with characters or have characters that are
Speaker 1: kind of just shifting away from what we used to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially by the end, it'd be like, oh, okay, right,
Speaker 3: this is what we're capable of bringing in, you know,
Speaker 3: storylines to Yeah.
Speaker 2: I would have really liked to have known, though, is
Speaker 2: did you get any access to these real life people?
Speaker 3: You know, it's crazy. I don't know if you're aware.
Speaker 3: And we love saying this. This is there's real NCIS Sydney.
Speaker 3: There's like actual agents. They came to set. We had
Speaker 3: the NCIS teams here. They're based in Sydney and Perth.
Speaker 3: They're fantastic.
Speaker 1: Ah, just so wonderfully excited about what we were doing.
Speaker 1: Literally just they could have believe it. We're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we get to meet you and they're like, no, we're
Speaker 1: meeting you.
Speaker 3: And yeah. They came to set about four or five times.
Speaker 3: They were like can we come back? And I'm like, mate,
Speaker 3: we want you here. Every day they were. They were
Speaker 3: so giving. They had federal police visit, we had detectives visits.
Speaker 1: We also had actual needy personnel as extras and scenes.
Speaker 2: Okay, that helps you as well show that these people
Speaker 2: are real and offer a different dimension as well. Like
Speaker 2: you think about the idea of playing somewhat one of
Speaker 2: these characters and you you know, you are bringing sort
Speaker 2: of a stern character to this, you know, and then
Speaker 2: when you're actually meeting these real people that you can
Speaker 2: see the different dimensions to a person's personality.
Speaker 3: You've got to highlight certain elements too and make it
Speaker 3: for camera too. So it's always a it's always just
Speaker 3: finding that fine line. You want to do them justice
Speaker 3: and you want to you want to correctly portray the people,
Speaker 3: but then there's a heightened version of like you know,
Speaker 3: s cis that we're kicking outdoors and you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the fun part. But they were honestly
Speaker 3: so saying with the Navy far out.
Speaker 2: Well, I was curious to know because you know, in
Speaker 2: Australia and you know, we think of Americans being really arrogant.
Speaker 2: Are you leaning into some of those stereotypes or are
Speaker 2: you exploring it a little bit deeper?
Speaker 1: Well, I think both. We're i think allowing the reality
Speaker 1: of the cultures and of you know, people who come
Speaker 1: from those worlds to exist. But I think we're really
Speaker 1: rooting it in truth and reality and just.
Speaker 3: It's not aca, it'scature.
Speaker 1: I think that's the difference.
Speaker 3: But also the Australians will be able to get the australianisms,
Speaker 3: the Americans will get the americanisms, and then the clashes
Speaker 3: will also make sense too. It's not too heavy, hard hitting,
Speaker 3: but that again is the tone events as to like,
Speaker 3: you know, make it a little bit more. It's fun,
Speaker 3: it's it's lighthearted. People can switch this on and have
Speaker 3: it in the background or watch every episode and be
Speaker 3: die hard fans, and it's it's.
Speaker 2: That no watch every episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean like that.
Speaker 2: Right that back, maybe maybe home and away or neighbors
Speaker 2: you'd have a you know what.
Speaker 3: I meant by the background. No, it's not like heavy, like,
Speaker 3: oh Jesus, I've got to watch an evidence is I'm
Speaker 3: going to go.
Speaker 2: To It's not bleak, you know, like it's Yeah, it.
Speaker 1: Has a beautiful like shift from lighthelf too serious ground.
Speaker 2: But I mean, I guess you know special Agent Michelle,
Speaker 2: she's quite arrogant when she starts out, you know in
Speaker 2: the show, like as in you pull that off really
Speaker 2: well well, so friendly and smiling and.
Speaker 1: A lot of exactly I was ahead of.
Speaker 2: You in the first episode.
Speaker 1: That's great, No, Matthew Is she's a woman who knows
Speaker 1: what she wants. She do things her way. She comes
Speaker 1: in heart, and she's very stubborn. And I love that
Speaker 1: we're not scared about showcasing a woman who is She's
Speaker 1: not trying to be agreeable, she's not trying to be liked,
Speaker 1: she's not trying to be best mate with everyone has
Speaker 1: her own strength and she leads with that and I
Speaker 1: just find her so inspiring and I just think she's
Speaker 1: an incredible woman to be showcasing on TV.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm picturing all the moments too where they
Speaker 3: give little breadcrumbs to.
Speaker 1: I don't think any strong personal character, their strength comes
Speaker 1: from a place of pain or heartbreak or protection and
Speaker 1: struggle and all these kind of things.
Speaker 2: And there are.
Speaker 1: Little moments where we see the little gaps.
Speaker 2: In her armor to unlock her a little bit.
Speaker 3: And that's where the contrast with j Day, the Alaric
Speaker 3: and the country boy that he ribs her all the
Speaker 3: time and it's always just paying her out, but he
Speaker 3: unlocks those little elements of vulnerability. He sees it and
Speaker 3: he's like, oh, I'm going to bank that for later,
Speaker 3: and you get an understanding as to why she is
Speaker 3: the way that she is, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It is an armor that people put up. But I,
Speaker 3: for one, from an outside perspective, love what Live brought
Speaker 3: and the kick ass grounded owning the screen badass woman.
Speaker 3: We need more of it, you know.
Speaker 2: Nice to see female characters on screen that young people
Speaker 2: can see themselves in. And I think that's the importance
Speaker 2: and what we watch in cinema as well, is the
Speaker 2: importance of being able to see ourselves and have aspiration,
Speaker 2: and that's what these characters I guess are bringing and
Speaker 2: you really do bring that to this character, which.
Speaker 3: A strong woman who's also holding her ground, owning her ground,
Speaker 3: calling the shots kicking us. I love all that, you know,
Speaker 3: it's like.
Speaker 2: But you know before we'd say that a woman that
Speaker 2: was like that was a bitch, do you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? There was an interesting way so true you
Speaker 2: were present those characters twenty years ago to who they
Speaker 2: are now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a credit to the writers for allowing
Speaker 3: but also you stepping in and owning it too, because
Speaker 3: you can't you know what it's like. You can't fake it. No,
Speaker 3: when you see it faked on screen, you're like, Okay,
Speaker 3: I see what they're trying to do, but it's not.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think. You know, with more and more technology
Speaker 2: and the way in which you know crimes occur in
Speaker 2: the real world, you know, they're becoming more complex with
Speaker 2: the writers creating some of what was going on. Were
Speaker 2: you surprised at some of the storylines. Underwater drones is
Speaker 2: not something I've ever heard of before, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 3: Where they come up with it.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the cases are based on
Speaker 1: real case Yeah, mad to think about, but I think
Speaker 1: do you pull it from from reality.
Speaker 3: And truth is stranger than fiction. That class and the
Speaker 3: story you wouldn't even want to know the stuff that
Speaker 3: goes on. You're like, we don't even scratch the surface,
Speaker 3: Like you don't really want to know. It's it's actually
Speaker 3: nice living in a little ignorant bliss where you're like, okay, cool,
Speaker 3: I don't really need to know that that's happening. But yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what's also cool about it. You get the crime
Speaker 3: of the week that does usually get solved. But then
Speaker 3: with our series as well, these a little large true line. Yes,
Speaker 3: if you'll look back on the episodes that you watch
Speaker 3: now and be like, oh that was that, not realizing
Speaker 3: that that was connected to the enemy.
Speaker 2: It makes good television, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 2: is just going to say to you, welcome to my love, Kevin.
Speaker 2: As we were talking about before. But you know, the
Speaker 2: last time I was here, I watched the River Wild remake.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you did.
Speaker 2: I was so trepidacious about watching that film. I was like, no,
Speaker 2: you can't remake that.
Speaker 1: I mean Street Liver alone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, film was so good. It was such a
Speaker 2: good standalone film. But also what was it like working
Speaker 2: with is it Adrian Brody Adam He's character and that
Speaker 2: was so terrifying. Was he like that the whole time
Speaker 2: on set? I felt most.
Speaker 1: Watching him was unbelievable. The way he could just kind
Speaker 1: of go from just being chill and lovely to that
Speaker 1: was almost like a masterclass.
