Speaker 4: In season two, what's happening is Austin publishes a book.

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,120

13
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,959

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 4: love is an important theme in this season.

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: He's a bad boy at a love triangle that I

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 2: love it.

17
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 3: That sounds like, yeah, that sounds like a movie.

18
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 4: Not quite, it's show technically.

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

20
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 4: That's where Natalie comes in.

21
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: That's right.

22
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: Tell us about your role, Nte.

23
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, I'm very excited to have joined Austin season two.

24
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I play Hailey, who is a production assistant and her

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: and Austin have a very quick and immediate bond. They

26
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: share a lot of similar interests and she kind of,

27
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, is maybe a bit of an angel on

28
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: Austin's shoulder and sort of calls him out on a

29
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: few things.

30
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 4: Which is exciting.

31
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: See. I just need to know, Michael, there's some romantic

32
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: scenes in here. If you're in a love triangle, man,

33
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: how was that? How did that work for you?

34
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: I don't recall there being many romantic scenes, but there

35
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 4: there least a couple where Austin was performing a romantic

36
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,639
Speaker 4: gesture for Haley. But I can't reveal too much about

37
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 4: that because you'd see it for yourselves. Yes, but what's

38
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 4: a scene where Austin was yelling at Haley a lot

39
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 4: and inside I was dying?

40
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

41
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course abouts acting the truest. Yeah, that's true.

42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: Even though it was just acting, it felt real because

43
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: I was required to yell at someone that I immensely adore.

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: That's tough, Michael. Austin grapples with the sudden fame of

45
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: you know that comes from being a successful author. And

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: I guess in real life you had the same situation

47
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: after Love on the Spectrum made you very famous. So

48
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: were you able to, you know, use what you felt

49
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: in real life in the in the role.

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 4: Can you ask me that again, please?

51
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: When you were after Love on the spectrum, people would

52
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: recognize you. You do you sort of you dealt with

53
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: sudden fame and in the show in Austin you Grapple,

54
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: you have a similar situation where as a successful author,

55
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: you're suddenly a bit famous. So you did you use

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: the Love on the Spectrum experience in the show?

57
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that I didn't because I get recognized

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: on the public a lot for Love and the Spectrum.

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: It's a very regular occurrence. But I'm flattered by people

60
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 4: coming up to me and all that. But I don't

61
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 4: go out out there looking for attention. I just rather

62
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: just let it come. Yeah, because people are going about

63
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: their lives and if they ever asked for a selfie,

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 4: I always allow it because it was smaller the face

65
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: that it makes their day, because giving you a moment

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: of their time is the least you can do for

67
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: their support.

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of styles could learn from me. Michael.

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: By the way, have you practiced a LOGI speech? Just

70
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: in case?

71
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: My friend I actually have one prepared it. I don't know.

72
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: I don't know a word by word yet. It's only

73
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: two paragraphs. Will but I'm intending to thank my parents,

74
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: my siblings, their partners, my extended family, giant circle of

75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: close friends and fan base. But also giving a special

76
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: mercy ball call to the cast and crew of Boston

77

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,480
