  Hello and welcome to another episode of What Do You Call It
• 0:11
  Podcast. I'm Your host GB.
• 0:15
  Today's guest is an actor known for his work across films and
• 0:18
  television, including appearances in Gotham and the
• 0:21
  critically acclaimed wrestling drama The Iron Claw.
• 0:27
  Please welcome Kevin and Kevin AB mate, you're good.
• 0:31
  Hello. Yeah, I'm all good man.
• 0:34
  You know, over here in the East Coast of the US.
• 0:37
  So yeah, it's, it's still still a little cold here, but we're
• 0:41
  we're expecting spring pretty soon.
• 0:44
  Nice mate, actually in a bit the same boat you, even though we're
• 0:47
  across the pond, you know, dance size, the world, it's actually
• 0:51
  Owen. But we are expecting some
• 0:53
  sunshine soon, hopefully by Easter.
• 0:55
  So fingers crossed mate. But what I'm going to do before
• 0:59
  I discuss Gotham, your other filmography, what I want to know
• 1:04
  what first inspired you to pursue acting and how did your
• 1:07
  journey begin? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:11
  So thanks for the question. I mean, I think I've been doing
• 1:14
  it like, you know, since, I mean, ever since Star Wars,
• 1:17
  right? I mean, ever since I saw Star
• 1:18
  Wars I, I've always that kind of inspired me.
• 1:22
  So like, you know, throughout grammar school I did, you know,
• 1:24
  small plays. Then like in high school, I more
• 1:29
  just like sports, you know, obviously playing, you know,
• 1:31
  baseball and then college more sports, baseball and rugby.
• 1:37
  And then like, I guess like, but I always, I was always still
• 1:40
  doing it and still like doing something creative.
• 1:42
  And I guess like my sophomore junior year in college, I just,
• 1:46
  I was like, this is what I want to do.
• 1:47
  And then, you know, I graduated, worked a few years like doing 9
• 1:52
  to 5 sales job, then quit that, moved to New York City and
• 1:55
  started studying at the, at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.
• 2:00
  And from there, I just, you know, was just full on, you
• 2:03
  know, working in, like, restaurant jobs and just doing
• 2:06
  what every actor does but, you know, and just trying to make it
• 2:09
  so. Yeah.
• 2:11
  That's fair, mate, that's fair. Having transitioned from the
• 2:14
  theatre in New York City and then to film and TV, what do you
• 2:19
  miss most about performing live? I mean, see, I, I, it's, it's a
• 2:26
  good question, but like for me, I kind of like, I kind of
• 2:29
  approach it the same way. Like, because like when you're
• 2:32
  on set, right, like there's you, there's really like 50 people
• 2:35
  around you anyway, you know, from like, you know, costumers
• 2:39
  to just everyone. So I mean, just in terms of like
• 2:42
  the way I see it, it's everything's a performance, even
• 2:45
  like doing like self tapes, like auditions, like I, I kind of
• 2:49
  approach everything like a like a, a play even that way, you
• 2:54
  know, a lot of doing live theater, obviously you get that,
• 2:56
  that, that instant gratification and that's great, you know, and
• 2:59
  there's more of a community and stuff like that.
• 3:02
  But I, I kind of like approach it the same way, you know, I
• 3:07
  mean, it's, I don't, it's how about I miss it?
• 3:10
  It's just, it's all the same to me.
• 3:12
  It's all that just like becoming a character and and moving the
• 3:15
  story forward. So, you know, I know some people
• 3:18
  think, you know, they love the theater and don't like film and
• 3:21
  TV or the opposite. To me it just messes into one
• 3:25
  thing. No, I actually don't understand
• 3:27
  that. To be fair, I know different
• 3:30
  audience stuff, but essentially it's the same thing.
• 3:33
  Isn't it fun of a live crowd but not always a crowd?
• 3:36
  It might be like TV with a crowd, but then you are working
• 3:39
  for Live Crew, camera crew production.
• 3:42
  You know, like you said, they're costume designers and there's
• 3:45
  just so much production elements to it.
• 3:47
  And you also have to learn lines.
• 3:49
  You know you're doing that both in theatre, films and TV.
• 3:52
  It's true. I can do it myself.
• 3:55
  I've got terrible memory. But now that I actually applaud
• 4:00
  you for it, you know, the fact that you've worked across the
• 4:03
  vast different genres from Gotham to Iron Claw, how do you
• 4:07
  prepare to mentally shift from these roles?
• 4:10
  I know we talked about, you know, the similarities between
• 4:13
  theatre and acting, but for each role that you take and then you
• 4:16
  switch from one to another, how do you do that personally as an
• 4:19
  actor? Just a lot of prep like from the
• 4:22
  moment, like I guess even from like before your even cast, like
• 4:26
  from the moment I get the sides to audition right from that
• 4:29
  moment on like, and this is completely true.
• 4:32
  Like the characters in me, I just read the lines and I've
• 4:36
  already started creating the character.
• 4:37
  Even if I'm not like doing it, then I'm doing some other kind
• 4:41
  of work. It's just in in my mind.
• 4:43
  So I don't know, it's just a process that like I just I just
• 4:49
  don't stop thinking about it. It doesn't overtake my life.
• 4:52
  But like it just you they say in film you're supposed to like
• 4:56
  play like, you know, Kevin Anton as a cop.
• 4:59
  So you're not like, you know, you're not becoming this like
• 5:02
  different, you know, outrageous character.
• 5:04
  You, you, you, you're putting yourself into the character.
• 5:08
  So I guess just preparing, you know, every role is different,
• 5:11
  especially playing someone like Harley Race, that's way
• 5:13
  different because he was a real person, right?
• 5:15
  So you got to get a lot of stuff, you know, you got to get
• 5:19
  a lot of stuff right, because you actually existed.
• 5:22
  Whereas you know, something like Gotham or like dead ringers or
• 5:25
  something like that, you know, you're, you're actually, you
• 5:26
  know, creating these characters, you know, for the first time
• 5:28
  usually so. That fair.
• 5:31
  We'll touch on Harley Race, by the way.
• 5:33
  But I mean, that performance, it was speechy before, for it was a
• 5:36
  real stand of the film. But what was it like stepping
• 5:39
  into the world of Gotham? So which already has such a rich
• 5:43
  legacy in the DC universe? Yeah.
• 5:47
  Gotham, Gotham was great. I mean, that was that was a
• 5:50
  great experience. It was just, you know, I mean,
• 5:55
  it was epic show. You know, I think the episode I
• 5:58
  shot was work where Butchy the the character Butchy hadn't
• 6:03
  become like his his evil part yet, but like the Penguin was
• 6:07
  just like running for mayor and he was starting to come up, but
• 6:09
  he wasn't really the Penguin yet.
• 6:11
  So I mean, it was just a really cool experience.
• 6:13
  Great set, great directors, you know, real, real.
• 6:18
  And then shooting in New York, right?
• 6:19
  I mean, just shooting on location in New York, just like
• 6:22
  the best, you know? That's cool, man.
• 6:25
  That's cool. Going to touch on Iron Claw, as
• 6:28
  I mentioned in the intro. And then yeah, yeah.
• 6:30
  Yeah, please, please. Yeah, yeah.
• 6:32
  First of all, what was your reaction from when you first got
• 6:36
  involved with the iconic film, now the Iron Claw?
• 6:41
  And then you got to portray the wrestling legend Harley Race.
• 6:47
  Yeah, so I, I, I really didn't know a lot about Harley Race
• 6:51
  that much beforehand. So, and this is a true story.
• 6:54
  Originally my agent gave me the sides to read an audition for
• 6:59
  the role of Bruiser, Bruiser Brody.
• 7:01
  Oh, really? That was never going to happen
• 7:03
  because no, no, no, but, but, but just like that was never
• 7:06
  going to happen. What actually happened was Sean
• 7:09
  Durkin, who had then Dead Ringers, who wrote, directed and
• 7:12
  produced Iron Claw for what I understand already had me in
• 7:15
  mind. That was just like, you know, it
• 7:18
  was just like a put him on tape. So just the whole like getting
• 7:25
  that and then the prep work and then, you know, shooting.
• 7:31
  We shot in in Baton Rouge, LA, right.
• 7:35
  And actually, I think two or three weeks before I came down
• 7:40
  the chute, that monologue that I did that, that speech from
• 7:43
  Harley, Sean actually didn't write that in the script yet,
• 7:47
  but he emailed me and said, Hey, dude, I'm, I'm going to, I'm
• 7:50
  going to add this to the script. I'm going to have Harley do like
• 7:52
  a little promo. It's not in the script yet, but
• 7:55
  here's like a YouTube video of it and hear the lines it's going
• 7:59
  to be in. But this is it.
• 8:01
  So from then on, dude, I just like I ripped that video from
• 8:05
  YouTube of Harley doing that and I took the audio and I put it on
• 8:11
  my on my iPhone and I just played it through and through
• 8:15
  every morning for hours, going on a walk anywhere I went.
• 8:19
  So I mean, when I was sleeping, I constantly had like part that
• 8:25
  that particular promo we did in my mind and the cadence and all
• 8:31
  that stuff. So that's one of the ways like I
• 8:33
  prepared other stuff like that, you know, that's.
• 8:38
  About you Embrace Harley race. He's got such a distinct voice.
• 8:42
  You know he's loved by wrestling fans and you know he's a he's a
• 8:46
  pioneer and there that voice does it's got screen.
• 8:49
  I mean, I'm not going to, you know, continue my bad impression
• 8:53
  with him. No, no, that's cool because
• 8:56
  like, you know, like I said, I really didn't know a lot about
• 8:58
  Harley Race until, you know, I got the role and I researched
• 9:03
  him, but also Chavo Guerrero, the legend Chavo Guerrero, he
• 9:07
  was our our, you know, stunt and and wrestling coach.
• 9:10
  So I remember we were waiting in this little like little small
• 9:13
  kickboxing arena on a highway in Baton Rouge.
• 9:17
  We're waiting for Zach to come, that guy from and Shabo was
• 9:21
  telling me these stories about Harley, about how Harley used to
• 9:24
  drive his car, Hollywood Drive, and he would have a guy in the
• 9:29
  passenger seat who just opened beers and gave his beers.
• 9:32
  That was his job. Not even joke.
• 9:34
  So they went from place to place to place and I just kept
• 9:37
  absorbing everything Shabo was telling me about him.
• 9:40
  You know about, you know how he acted, how you know how in real
• 9:45
  life really was that tough. And that really helped out a
• 9:47
  lot, even though we only maybe 1520 minutes really helped me a
• 9:51
  lot. And I kind of felt like, you
• 9:53
  know, Shabo gave me for the first time.
• 9:54
  I, I think I kind of felt I got his approval too, because I
• 9:58
  mean, think about Shabo was a legend and Shabo knew the guy
• 10:01
  personally. So you know.
• 10:03
  Got the approval and it was such a tough role, but for me, Reed
• 10:06
  was a standout. What was it like working Zac
• 10:09
  Efron, by the way? How was he?
• 10:12
  Great, awesome. I mean, you know, that was that
• 10:14
  was one of the highlights of my career was awesome that that one
• 10:18
  particular fight scene took like 14 or 15 hours to shoot.
• 10:23
  And I've been kidding. It was that long And and Zach
• 10:26
  and I were there the entire time.
• 10:28
  I mean, we were just in and out of the ring, like literally
• 10:31
  doing takes. I mean, we were like drenched in
• 10:33
  all that's real. Like none of that's like faked.
• 10:36
  It's all happened on like, so they built this moratorium ring
• 10:43
  to scale. Like that's what you see is
• 10:46
  exactly what the way it looked. So he was great, you know, super
• 10:49
  talented, obviously super in shape, super dedicated to the
• 10:54
  role too. Just a really, really good guy.
• 10:57
  So I mentioned about the film being pretty, claimed it got
• 11:00
  rave reviews from critics and fans.
• 11:03
  But for you personally as your performance as Harley Race,
• 11:08
  what's the reception that you received yourself from, you
• 11:11
  know, maybe your colleague, even though it's an investment
• 11:13
  business? It's, it's been, I would say 99%
• 11:19
  positive, right? I mean, like I, you know, I
• 11:22
  don't, I like really, really positive reviews.
• 11:27
  I think maybe one rest or Kevin something, I don't know his name
• 11:30
  said like I, I don't know, but for the most part, everyone, you
• 11:37
  know, really liked it. Even Harley's son, Justin Race,
• 11:41
  who actually just mentioned to me today on Instagram.
• 11:43
  We we talked back and forth. He really liked it.
• 11:45
  So I mean, you know, really, really, you know, good, good
• 11:53
  vibes. I also think like a lot of
• 11:55
  people don't even recognize me too when they see me because
• 11:57
  like I had that beard and I think I looked a lot different.
• 12:00
  So like, you know what I mean? Like even at the screenings, we
• 12:03
  went to a bunch of screenings and I don't think people even
• 12:05
  realized like, I was even playing Harley.
• 12:09
  No, seriously. Like, if that makes sense.
• 12:11
  It's weird, but yeah, I truly mean that.
• 12:15
  Like, they they, you know, some people did, but some people
• 12:18
  didn't. They're like, were you in the
• 12:19
  movie? So.
• 12:20
  And that's cool. I don't really, you know, but
• 12:23
  yeah, no, I mean, really good, positive, positive feedback.
• 12:27
  And you know, like I said, Oh, but I will say one thing for the
• 12:31
  record. Like some people said Harley
• 12:33
  didn't have any tattoos in the movie.
• 12:35
  That's not true. I did.
• 12:36
  I had the exact tattoos that Harley had.
• 12:39
  But for we we took them off like Sean wanted to take them off
• 12:42
  halfway through because they were bleeding because of sweat.
• 12:45
  So I have pictures of the tattoos I'll send you.
• 12:49
  You know, I had Harley's tattoos.
• 12:51
  True story. It was just we removed them like
• 12:55
  halfway through, like when we were doing the fight scene.
• 13:00
  Yeah, they were definitely there.
• 13:02
  Definitely. Bit of trivia there for the film
• 13:05
  fans out there. I'm world's heavyweight
• 13:07
  champion. Me.
• 13:10
  Harley Race, the real world's heavyweight champion.
• 13:15
  Not any of this plastic nonsense that you all parade around with.
• 13:19
  Out there you have all these guys walking around talking loud
• 13:25
  about how they are the man, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Tommy Rich,
• 13:36
  or one of your snot nosed Von Eric kids.
• 13:40
  Well this belt is the only measure of who is the man.
• 13:49
  And that, man, is me, the world's heavyweight Champion.
• 13:56
  Harley Race. What makes this story so
• 13:59
  powerful compared to other sports films that have been
• 14:02
  released in the past? Yeah.
• 14:06
  No, that's a great question. So I don't really think because
• 14:08
  it's not really like I don't think I don't see it as like a
• 14:11
  real sports film, right. Like, so when I saw Sean Durkin,
• 14:15
  the right director, producer at the premiere afterwards, I gave
• 14:18
  him a hug and I said, dude, this is not a wrestling movie.
• 14:20
  He was like, exactly. It's not.
• 14:22
  It's really a story about brothers, right?
• 14:24
  And even like at the end when Zach goes, you know, he's he's
• 14:27
  having a moment with his sons and he says he used to be your
• 14:29
  brother, right? I mean, people just lost it.
• 14:31
  So I think that, you know, there's wrestling sprinkled in
• 14:35
  there. And yes, that's like one of the
• 14:36
  main, like, you know, subplots, but it's really a story about
• 14:41
  the bond of the brothers. I mean, you know, and, and, and
• 14:45
  how powerful it is because you see them, you know, in the
• 14:47
  beginning, you know, they're they're off playing and playing
• 14:49
  football on doing this and doing that.
• 14:51
  And then then as the as the story unfolds from act one to
• 14:55
  act 2 to act three, you see the tragedies, right?
• 14:57
  And then you have to go through what the family's going through.
• 15:00
  So I think that's what really separates it from other other,
• 15:06
  you know, sports genre movies. It's a brilliant film, and it's
• 15:10
  one of those films that you don't have to be a vested fan to
• 15:13
  truly appreciate the art of this story.
• 15:17
  Old, you know, it's a brutal story, but you know, the fact
• 15:20
  that Kevin is still with us to tell the story and to continue
• 15:24
  the vulnerability. Yeah, absolutely.
• 15:29
  Where did you see it? I saw at the cinema, so when it
• 15:32
  came. Out in the theatre.
• 15:34
  Yeah, that's sort of cinema in here.
• 15:36
  That's great. I knew the story, though, but
• 15:38
  the person I went to watch with didn't know, so I didn't want to
• 15:40
  like, you know? So that's just like, oh God, get
• 15:43
  ready. Yeah.
• 15:43
  Yeah. No, no, no.
• 15:47
  Yeah, Yeah, no, no. Just real quick.
• 15:49
  So obviously I saw it for the first time at the screening in
• 15:53
  Texas. Yeah.
• 15:55
  The same theater where they caught Harvey Lee Harvey Oswald.
• 15:59
  That was crazy. Because like I, I, I, I didn't
• 16:02
  see it before. So I was like, wow, this is this
• 16:04
  is pretty cool. That's quite crazy mate.
• 16:08
  That's crazy. What do you want to ask is how
• 16:11
  does dead ringers compare to other projects that you've
• 16:15
  worked with in terms of the intensity Dead ringers?
• 16:20
  Was great because that's another one Sean, Sean directed and you
• 16:25
  know, that was working with Rachel, Rachel Weiss, you know
• 16:27
  what I mean? Who was great I got to be
• 16:30
  intimate with her. I don't know if you saw it in
• 16:32
  episode 6 and you know my my character was named Larry and
• 16:37
  actually the everywhere you do a film and TV right.
• 16:40
  Normally every project has a code name and this code name was
• 16:43
  called Larry's diner. Even though I was only in it for
• 16:46
  like a little bit in episode 1 in the intro and then in episode
• 16:49
  6, they still called up because I opened the scene with the 2,
• 16:54
  the two twins and I'm, I'm supposed to be drunk and I'm,
• 16:57
  you know, being kind of like vile, but that that opens the
• 17:01
  whole series. But working on that was great.
• 17:04
  You know, it was a great psychological thriller, great
• 17:07
  time, great to work with, great actors.
• 17:10
  I mean, that was really cool during COVID too.
• 17:13
  Actually, they're both during COVID.
• 17:15
  Iron Iron claw more towards the end, but dead ringer is like we
• 17:18
  shot that right in the middle. So like you were testing every
• 17:21
  day? Every day.
• 17:24
  Because that's crazy on is to work through the pandemic.
• 17:29
  Every day. Every day.
• 17:31
  I mean like you would have to test every day.
• 17:34
  Every day. But if you've seen the rewards
• 17:36
  of it though, you know the fact that you've.
• 17:39
  Been able to, yeah. Yeah, awesome projects.
• 17:41
  You know. Yeah, yeah.
• 17:44
  God bless, mate. Just a few more questions and
• 17:46
  then I'll let you enjoy the rest of your afternoon.
• 17:49
  Yes, afternoon for you at the time of.
• 17:53
  Right, right. Are there any directors whose
• 17:58
  style profoundly influenced the way that you think about your
• 18:01
  performances? I mean, you know, I would say
• 18:08
  like the, the, the ones probably everyone would think of like,
• 18:10
  you know, like Spielberg, Scorsese, you know, people like
• 18:16
  that only because like I, I, I think, and there's so many
• 18:21
  others and, and of course Sean Durkin that there's so many
• 18:23
  others, but because of the way they, they really tell the
• 18:28
  stories. It's about the story, right?
• 18:30
  It's not about like the cute camera work or like, you know,
• 18:35
  quick cuts. It's really about the, the
• 18:38
  acting, you know, and you know, like I was reading somewhere
• 18:43
  like Spielberg shoots everything wide open, meaning that like, if
• 18:50
  you watch his, his background, he wants everything in focus,
• 18:53
  mostly everything in focus. So which is could be tough
• 18:57
  sometimes if you're shooting on low light because you got to
• 18:59
  light that stuff. But he wants everyone to see
• 19:02
  even what's in the background. Whereas you see other directors
• 19:05
  where they, you know, they have the close-ups and everything has
• 19:07
  little, you know, it's, it's blurred out.
• 19:09
  So I thought that was really cool.
• 19:10
  So those, those kind of directors, anyone in the 70s
• 19:13
  even, you know, I mean, now there's a million great
• 19:14
  directors, but I, I kind of learn more towards the ones who
• 19:20
  are great storytellers, right? Yeah.
• 19:24
  Because those, those, those would be the most, you know what
• 19:26
  I mean? And it could be independent or
• 19:28
  it could be something honestly as great as Sinners.
• 19:30
  I, I actually really enjoyed Sinners.
• 19:32
  I mean, I thought it was like that really, you know, surprised
• 19:35
  me. Like Hoogler.
• 19:36
  I was like, you know, I, I kind of knew the story.
• 19:39
  I knew what was going to happen, but I didn't know how they were
• 19:42
  going to introduce the the vampire.
• 19:45
  I was like they. Haven't seen it yet.
• 19:47
  I know this board is don't worry about.
• 19:49
  Oh, you haven't seen it yet? I haven't seen it, go watch it.
• 19:52
  Go watch it, watch it because that was one that surprised me.
• 19:56
  Some of them that are up for awards, you know, I'm like, OK,
• 19:58
  this one was like, OK, this is cool.
• 20:00
  Yeah, I think this is cool. I mean, the soundtrack, I was
• 20:03
  like, this is this is I like movies where like the soundtrack
• 20:06
  connects with the visuals, with the acting.
• 20:08
  I was like, this is cool. So I I I would definitely
• 20:11
  suggest watching Sinners. I really liked it.
• 20:14
  Definitely got to watch it, it's on my watch list at the moment.
• 20:17
  Last question, this doesn't have to be film related, but I feel
• 20:21
  like we might keep it film themed. 3 dream dinner guests,
• 20:24
  Yeah. Anything you want.
• 20:26
  For your dream party, dead or alive, fiction, non fiction, 3
• 20:30
  guests and I want a quick reason as to why you want this person
• 20:33
  there. Give me the 1st guest to your
• 20:36
  dream party. Maybe Sean Penn, good choice.
• 20:45
  Sean Penn, I would say, you know, I would want for different
• 20:50
  reasons to Bono and Bono, not only not only because his music,
• 20:56
  but I dig his vibe. Like I want to hear also more
• 21:00
  about like, you know, his his humanitarian.
• 21:04
  You know, this is whole vibe on that because I just really dig
• 21:10
  what he does and I mean the third I mean could be I mean
• 21:13
  there's so many people like I would want to ask Obama
• 21:16
  questions, but I mean there's just third.
• 21:21
  I don't know that are alive. Maybe Shakespeare, you know,
• 21:27
  just just to ask him, you know, Hey, did you wrote these right?
• 21:31
  What's going on through your mind or Hemingway?
• 21:33
  I just some someone were like, I could get a a glimpse into like,
• 21:38
  you know, their thought process. Because I think that that also
• 21:41
  helps in like for for me, for like the creative process to, to
• 21:46
  learn how someone got about or just came up with ideas.
• 21:49
  Because a lot of times, like, you know, I think Spielberg
• 21:52
  said, you know, good ideas are bad ideas that you just worked
• 21:58
  on, right? So, you know, I think that's,
• 22:02
  that's like one of the coolest things is, you know, meeting
• 22:05
  people who are constantly moving forward, constantly trying to
• 22:10
  evolve and, and, and think constantly you're trying to make
• 22:13
  the world a better place. I mean, seriously, right?
• 22:15
  Because especially what's going on now with the world, we, we
• 22:19
  need a little bit of, you know, things going right, right.
• 22:25
  I agree. I agree mate, it's a good way to
• 22:27
  end it. I like the guest.
• 22:28
  Dress by the way, Bono Barma Shakespeare got a little bit of
• 22:32
  grudge of Shakespeare but with him for about 6 years at school
• 22:39
  and obviously fantastic answer. Milk.
• 22:41
  I think his performance in Milk is amazing and I felt so bad for
• 22:45
  Mickey Rourke did. You see him did your works great
• 22:48
  too. Did you see him in one battle
• 22:51
  after another? I've not seen that one yet.
• 22:52
  I'm literally a little bit behind.
• 22:54
  You try to see it films. He's he's.
• 22:56
  He's great in it. I mean, he won the Oscar.
• 22:58
  He was great in it. You know, he's, he's one of
• 23:01
  those actors. He's just, he's just good.
• 23:03
  So believable, you know? I love him in like Mystic River,
• 23:06
  that's fantastic when he's like. Yeah, that's great.
• 23:09
  It was great is. That my daughter is.
• 23:12
  That yeah, yeah, yeah. It was great, right?
• 23:16
  It's an amazing film, actually. Can I ask you one last question
• 23:18
  actually? And you're gonna probably think,
• 23:20
  oh, it's a bit for maybe a blank question, but I think it's quite
• 23:23
  interesting to ask an actor with your CV especially.
• 23:27
  What's your favorite film of all time?
• 23:30
  That I know. It sounds like a basic.
• 23:31
  Question see, I mean, no, no, no, it's it's probably gonna be
• 23:34
  like Star Wars or like Raiders of Lost Ark.
• 23:37
  I mean, and, and I think it's Star Wars because it, it, it
• 23:42
  really like, I mean, to me, it's like the perfect film, right?
• 23:47
  Because it's everything about your childhood, you know what I
• 23:49
  mean? It's like good versus evil.
• 23:51
  It's it's very simple. I mean, I don't know, I mean
• 23:54
  that, that that's the first thing that will come to mind.
• 23:57
  But also maybe Raiders of the Lost Ark.
• 23:59
  I mean, back in the day, I probably say like, you know,
• 24:01
  Casablanca or stuff. I mean, there's, there's just so
• 24:03
  many to choose from. I probably watch like, I don't
• 24:06
  know, 30 movies a week, you know, so it's like it's it's I'm
• 24:10
  constantly trying to watch them. But I mean, I think Star Wars is
• 24:13
  probably my favorite movie just because it makes me feel good.
• 24:15
  It it, it brings you to like that, that happy place, you
• 24:18
  know, for me, for me, a. New Hope is my favorite stars
• 24:21
  film as well. I know most people want.
• 24:22
  To yeah, yeah, yeah. But for me, New Hope is the one
• 24:26
  that kicks off all and I just think it's a bad story.
• 24:29
  But they're all brilliant in the world.
• 24:30
  Not all. I agree that's.
• 24:33
  Not bad ones. Yeah, I know.
• 24:36
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. The original trilogy is
• 24:39
