14
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: We're doing this more and more these days because of

15
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 3: the COVID thing. But I kind of like it.

16
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: It's weird.

17
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm supposed to look at the camera, but

18
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: then I can't look at you.

19
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: Yes, and the same with us.

20
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 4: It's a very schizophrenic sort of thing.

21
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: Well, look, I'm not sure.

22
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: And you're a good chatty Cathy. You like to have

23
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: it chat, don't you.

24
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: No, I don't mind at all.

25
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about Rams, because the idea of this

26
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: a quick synopsis two sheep farming brothers a long standing estrangement.

27
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: I was reading that this was actually based on a

28
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: true story out of Iceland that had some differences in it.

29
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: But is that right?

30
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 4: No, it's it's an Icelandic film. Oh, it's a beautiful film.

31
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 4: Actually ours is quite different in the Australian context and everything,

32
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 4: so it's different. That humor is different.

33
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: I think the Icelandic humor could maybe slip by you

34
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: a little bit.

35
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: I can imagine.

36
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: It's just.

37
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: I can't tell you too much about it. But it's

38
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: really two brothers who have never spoken in forty years.

39
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: They use the dog as they're intermediary to send notes

40
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: to each other, and they both call the dog a

41
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: different name.

42
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: I love it.

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 4: And so that's the sort of basis of the film.

44
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 4: And then there's the sort of there's.

45
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: A tragedy in the valley and because you play a

46
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: grumpy old drunk this is this is it, this is it?

47
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: And was that much of a stretch did you have

48
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: to go full method on that?

49
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: I had to practice? Yeah, yeah, practice is the main thing,

50
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: you know. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, It's all you can do

51
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: with the thing like that.

52
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: Well, Sam has a farm. Do you have a farming background?

53
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Did you have? Have you got experience in farming?

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: Not farming as such, but I used to work for

55
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: wall brokers, and I used to work in pumping and

56
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: irrigation before I did the actor. I used to I'm

57
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: fond of saying I was a windmill salesman and have

58
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: been chilting at them ever since. That was my job.

59
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: There was an unusual transaction then, to go from that

60
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: to being an actor.

61
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: How did that all that happen?

62
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 4: Well? I kept both going for a while.

63
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: But you had you had a period when you were

64
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: working on the Sullivans. When the Sullivan's finished, you had

65
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: to go and paid houses. I remember we talked about that.

66
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: You paid them into the house. Yeah, And people would

67
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: come in and there's you painting the house.

68
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: And although the reason I painted the house is if

69
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: I did anything else, it would be what are you

70
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: doing this job? Selling burgers at the Colonial Diner? Painting

71
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: houses was much easier.

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: Well, is it true that one of your very early

73
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: acting gigs was on Skippy?

74
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,160

00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: We were myself and the lovely Rona a cloud. We

78
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: The enraged bull was incredibly docile, and.

79
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: So you were trapped in a paddicon presuming and Skippy.
