• 0:16
  Speaker 1: see you?
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Season four man, congrats your show from right now on
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: MGM plus. Kind of a sci fi horror series. Looks
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: really cool and pretty wild for those who may not
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: be familiar, what exactly is the premise?
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: So promise about a group of people who who entered
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: into small little town. It feels like small town America anywhere,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: and once you get into the town, there's no road out.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: You're just you're always stuck and then at night you're
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: being hunted by creatures. So and that's just the beginning
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: of it. So we're four seasons into it now and
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: which we're still trying to develop the series about why
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: we're trapped there, who these monsters are, what the other
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: monsters that are? Yeah, we are, So we're all still
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: developing theories about that now. But it's been four seasons
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: of a lot of good fun.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: So that's awesome, man, that's such a fun premise you
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: play great Name Boyd Stevens, and the Great Name fifth
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and final season has also been announced.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Congratulations on that. I know you're going to start filming soon.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Can you say, what's going on with your character?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, my character is boy like you just said,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Boyd Stevens, really cool, tough name. It's the toughest I've
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: been in my whole career. And he's a self appointed
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: sheriff of the town and he's tasked himself with getting
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: everybody out of this town. And the problem is, you
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: just can't figure it out. And he has an impending
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Parkinson's disaster, you know, coming down the pipe like he's
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: got he's got the shakes and tremors that come.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: And so Boyd Stevens in this fourth season is sort
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: of at a real breaking point. He had declared in
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: season three that they wouldn't break him, but it feels
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: like we're really close to breaking him right now. It
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: feels like pretty close to Dunn. So you'll have to
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: watch the fourth season and see if he makes it
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: through there.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: But I think, okay, okay, okay, that's a lot going on,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of layers there for your characters.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Cool Man.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You're also part of this upcoming indie film called and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Outcomes the Wolf, which is inspired by the punk rock
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: album or the band I should say, Rancid.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I remember Rancid. What can you tell us about your
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: role in that one?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Well, just a tiny role in that one, out Come
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: to the Wolves, And it's really about these young kids
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: in a small town just trying to find their way
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: out and unfortunately they take the wrong path, and you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the path of like selling drugs and stuff like many
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: kids in urban areas do, and you know, and the
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: outcomes there. I play a Jamaica dad who's trying to
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: keep his son on the street and narrow, so that
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: that one's not so much about me as much as
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: it is about the younger generation of actors coming up,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: and which I'm always really happy to be supportive of.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: You know, there's a bunch of new talented kids that
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: are that are showing up every day and like and
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: if I get to do movies with them, that's what
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I try to do.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: That's that's very cool. These small towns are working for
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: your project. Wise, where I hadn't thought about that, right,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: But where do you shoot from?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So we should come up in Nova Scotia and Halifax.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, so really really far away.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: And that's that's the most unfortunate.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Thing about it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: My kids are here, and so getting to see them
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: while you know, like leading the show is is quite tricky.
