  Speaker 2: So I don't know it, you know, I mean it's
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: a sea battle. I'm the pre eminent, as I say, seamen, yeah,
• 0:45

• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of very much more every time I'm the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: preeminent that thing. But yeah, yeah, so there is a Yeah,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: it's you know, I'm the leader of the commander of
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the fleet. And it is a big battle too, huge fleets.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, at the center of it, in.
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: This age of like CGI and all of that, you're
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: obviously a very fit man. But how much of the
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: action do you have to do?
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: It?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: You do the bulk of it because how it works
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: basically is that the guy's rally who's our stunt coordinator.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: They come up with the choreography phytography, and they try
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: to shape it to each character how he or she
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: would fight. Then they do a previous where there's a
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: stuntman doing.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: Your moves and how much does he look like you?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: This guy actually he looks incredibly like me. He's a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: credibly good looking guy, and I'm like, I'm not that
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: good looking, so he's great. And then I basically then
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: have to learn the choreography. And we did that over
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: weeks with all the stunt guys, and then eventually, at
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: one point, because this is about a meeting between two nemesis,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: me and the character Looha played via the lovely Abigail,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: then me and Abigail got together and we started to
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: going to the choreography, and then eventually you finally put
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: it on the ship with all the corpses and all
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the water and all the blood and stuff, and then
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: finally they shoot it so you can fight. Then I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: can if you tell me think yeah exactly, and don't
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: hit me back, then I'm great.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: I'm in this show.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: You had these amazing long gray dreadlocks. Yeah, have you
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: ever had dreadlocks?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Just after I left being a student. I didn't have dreadlocks,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: but I did have extensions. I had hair braids and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: extensions for a while, but nowhere near as long or
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: as luxurious as I know.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Well, this one here used to have dreadlocks.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Wow, okay, so it's a horrible look. I don't know
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: what I was doing. It was very like sort of grunge.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yury, you know, Okay, yes, yes, yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Remember that band that was like corn and like you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: ok yeah yeah, people like that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: It was a lot And when you were first cast,
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: there was you know, some well it was horrible stuff
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: really that was going around, some racial abuse because the
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: character was originally white.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: How have you dealt with that? Obviously it's gone away
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: now that you know.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's on the one hand, it was
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: surprising and on the other hand it wasn't surprising.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: So did you when it first happened, were you like
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: or even when it was announced.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Did you think all this might happen? No, it was
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: a shock.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: A completely had a shock.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And in fact how it happened was there was they
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: basically just put out a photo of the three people,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the three latest people that they that they had cast,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and myself been one of them. And the first thing
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that I saw when they did it was that somebody
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: had then put up an artist's impression of how they
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: felt callers should look, and obviously it was a Caucasian
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and they put the two together with a question mark,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and I thought, oh, okay, And then the then the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: cavalcade happened where they were just finding me and saying
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: horrible racial things to me.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Was that Twitter? Because Twitter is the worst one.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: It was Twitter? Yeah, it was Twitter.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: It's horrible. Yeah, how did you deal with it? Then?
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Did you just log off? Did you mute accounts?
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Or I did none of those things. I just didn't.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I just ignored them. I just didn't.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, I saw some of them, but I didn't
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: respond in any way because I figure they probably would
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: like you to respond.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: You can't take these people too seriously.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: And also the thing that I kept relying on was
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: there are many shows and many actors that I don't like.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I just don't watch them.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I don't seek them out and tell them I don't
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: like that thing that you did, because I have things
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: happening in my life now. If you don't, and you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: have to find an actor to tell him, the negative stuff,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: then really you need to look at your life.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it is about them, not you. Yeah.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're probably such a fan that they think, oh
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: this is a way to get.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Maybe you never know.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Steve, how's your trip to Australia. You've been here before.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I have been here before. This is my third time
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: in Australia.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: You know, in Australia, anyone who's called Steve becomes Steve O.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Right. I like that rob becomes Robber. Yeah, Robbo, just
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: end everything with it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: So yeah, see, if I watch one thing you find
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: a bit odd about Australia or Australians.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Animals. Yeah, yeah, they freak all of them. I was
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: telling these guys there was when I was last here
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: a few years ago.

• 5:11
  Speaker 2: based in Adelaide, and it was the last night and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: we were having a rat party, and I remember I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: was on a balcony of a shop of a club,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: looking out into a shop, and I saw this cat
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: go into a doorway, a shop doorway, and the guys
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: knew that I was just like freaked out by all animals.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Right, So they said, this guy said to me, which
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: thinking about that?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And I said, come on, guys, we do have cats
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: in And then here, guys, it's not a cat.
