- 0:34Speaker 4: early childhood trauma loss of his family. But he doesn't
- 0:38Speaker 4: do it in normal way. He goes kind of into
- 0:41Speaker 4: a different realm. So you'll see that. I played kind
- 0:44Speaker 4: of a reflection of the lead character, Marcus Stylers, the name.
- 0:48Speaker 3: He's played beautifully by Blaine Maye. Nice an actor coming on.

- 1:33Speaker 1: It's just pretty. Look at your right, you do appreciate
- 1:35Speaker 1: more in the theater. Where'd you shoot it at? Durman?
- 1:37Speaker 4: This is an old too soon. It's outside the city
- 1:41Speaker 4: there in Arizona. I never worked there before, but it's
- 1:44Speaker 4: a classic location. Hundreds of Westerns being shot there over
- 1:48Speaker 4: the over the years.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of classics, you've done some Westerns in the eighties,
- 1:54Speaker 2: classic Young Guns, which I loved. What's your favorite genre
- 2:00Speaker 2: a movie to make?
- 2:01Speaker 4: Well, this might be, This might be it, just because
- 2:04Speaker 4: of the extra stuff. I've always been a rider my
- 2:07Speaker 4: whole life. Certainly those movies, you'd have to list them off. Last,
- 2:11Speaker 4: Outlaws a great movie HBO made with Mickey Yorke, great cast.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Bad Girls had its place in our lives there in
- 2:18Speaker 4: the in the mid nineties, and a ton.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Of other westerns.
- 2:22Speaker 4: I was in Sam Shepherd's movie Silentum with River and
- 2:26Speaker 4: Richard Harris Allen Bates, so this is like coming home
- 2:30Speaker 4: from me. I love the livestock in the whole field
- 2:33Speaker 4: of this. Long Shadows has a very classic feel with
- 2:38Speaker 4: if I'd say, sort of.
- 2:39Speaker 3: A modern modern twist or has a good sort of
- 2:44Speaker 3: updated psychology to it.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Yeah, it must be so much fun to film, and
- 2:48Speaker 1: it's amazing.
- 2:49Speaker 3: You'll come out next time.
- 2:50Speaker 4: All right, sounds good, but one of the means most lasses
- 2:53Speaker 4: on there or something, you know, people make those cameos.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I can ride too many time.
- 2:58Speaker 3: All right, all right.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Sons good.
- 3:01Speaker 2: We're also in the thickest season fourteen of your show
- 3:03Speaker 2: Chicago Fire. What's going on with your character Chief Pascal?
- 3:07Speaker 3: In Chief Pascal I go was gifted with this role.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Last year season thirteen, you went through a rainier lost
- 3:13Speaker 4: his wife and you really had a beautiful, tough depiction
- 3:17Speaker 4: of a man going through processing his grief. So we
- 3:21Speaker 4: found him season fourteen. Still, you know, still struggling with
- 3:26Speaker 4: that and swives. There's new people in his life, stay tuned,
- 3:31Speaker 4: and terrible budget cuts in the city, so we got
- 3:34Speaker 4: to keep a house together, and I think Chief Pascal
- 3:38Speaker 4: is the man Mario. I've loved working on that show
- 3:41Speaker 4: for all the reasons that you dank justus. You don't
- 3:45Speaker 4: know what's coming next, you know, like the a real person,
- 3:49Speaker 4: you don't know what's going to happen in the Chief's
- 3:52Speaker 4: life next. So I love that feeling of kind of
- 3:54Speaker 4: falling off the olds of the cliff. Each week when
- 3:57Speaker 4: the script comes, you learn what's going to happen. I've
- 4:00Speaker 4: been watching it this season too. I recommend it. It's
- 4:03Speaker 4: such a great show. And the actors I work with
- 4:06Speaker 4: are brilliant and beautiful in that in fire House fifty one,
- 4:10Speaker 4: really great group of people.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Oh that's cool, man. And over the summer you were
- 4:14Speaker 2: in a really a buzzy show on Netflix called The
- 4:17Speaker 2: Hunting Wives.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I remember the.
- 4:18Speaker 2: First episode of My wife and I were watching, were like, oh, okay,
- 4:22Speaker 2: what'd you think about the reception of that show?
- 4:23Speaker 1: And you had a fun character.
- 4:25Speaker 4: That's just the first episode that actually, no, it goes down.
- 4:30Speaker 4: I fell from there, which every way to look at it,
- 4:32Speaker 4: but that was really something else I knew. We put
- 4:36Speaker 4: our heart and soul and a couple other things into it.
- 4:40Speaker 3: For sure. But you never know, right, So this one
- 4:44Speaker 3: just took off.
- 4:45Speaker 4: I think it it hit a little ticklish pocket there.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Then everybody of all stripes loved this show. On the
- 4:55Speaker 4: other shows, I do kind of fall into a certain
- 4:58Speaker 4: fan type or category. You know, this was just across
- 5:01Speaker 4: the board and the way people have viewed stuff now
- 5:04Speaker 4: where they threw something on a streamer, it's a totally
- 5:08Speaker 4: different like absorbers absorption ratio, you know. So that one,
- 5:12Speaker 4: that one just really took off. We're so proud of it,
- 5:15Speaker 4: and we go even really right away next month to
- 5:18Speaker 4: start filming second season.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Nice, what a fun character to play I saw.
- 5:24Speaker 3: I think, I.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Don't know what's in season two, but as far as
- 5:28Speaker 4: I know, Jed Banks is still running for governors.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah. And I saw your band Jack Rabbits
- 5:38Speaker 2: playing the famous whiskey of Go Go.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Will. We got that gig. So here's what I do.
- 5:44Speaker 4: I sing with my brother Kieran, just a straight country duo,
- 5:49Speaker 4: and we figured we'd bring it out and the things
- 5:53Speaker 4: kind of caught on.
- 5:53Speaker 3: We have beautiful original songs. We do a couple of covers,
- 5:56Speaker 3: country covers.
- 5:58Speaker 4: But then we start getting these getting these gigs, and
- 6:01Speaker 4: then the Whiskey Go Go called.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Couldn't believe it, so.
- 6:04Speaker 4: It would be like a country night at the Whiskey
- 6:07Speaker 4: then night. I recommend you come out November twenty third.
- 6:10Speaker 4: That's the Sunday before the Thanksgiving week, so you know
- 6:12Speaker 4: nobody's working on Monday.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Yeah, so come on out and you know, kick your
- 6:16Speaker 3: boots around.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Sounds good man. I like a good reason to throw
- 6:19Speaker 1: on a hat and getting really fun.
- 6:21Speaker 4: That's the reason, and that's the whole idea with this act.
- 6:24Speaker 4: Hope you enjoyed it if you come see tell your
- 6:26Speaker 4: fans right o.
