It's like 188 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.759 a weird taste. It's like the fake cigarette. Yeah, it's 189 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.559 like burning a leaf. Like, Yes, I tried one. I 190 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.159 used to work in props and I was like, I 191 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.080 have to smoke one of these, because you know, I 192 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.120 was a smoker too, and I was like, I just 193 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:16.879 need to see, like what this taste like. And it 194 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.080 was like the weirdest, driest like it gave me like 195 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.799 the driest throat and like, I'd just request to smoke 196 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.559 a cigarette if I was filming. You can't do that, Huh. 197 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.159 Yeah, I have. And there's a trick. There's a problem 198 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.799 with that because you have when you smoke a cigarette, 199 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.240 you product have to always know, you have to always 200 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:37.399 keep it sort of at the same length because of continuity, 201 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.159 and they're cutting and doing different shots and dagas that 202 00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.679 you end up smoking so many cigarettes and you get 203 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.279 a huge dose of nicotine that it can double your addiction. 204 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.360 That's what happened to me. It smells like an orphanage fire, 205 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.240 the fake cigarettes, like an orphanage fire. 206 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.879 Oh yeah, No, nobody likes fire and an org. 207 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:00.799 Not. 208 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:02.600 Corella Deville didn't even like that. 209 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.399 Yeah, man, oh man. 210 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:08.480 I heard you say on Letter Marlton's podcast that that 211 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.240 play Bunny Bunny was kind of like reflective of your 212 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.320 entire career. You know, You've gotten to play so many 213 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.759 different characters, and you know, I wouldn't even I personally 214 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.919 wouldn't call you a character actor because when I think 215 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.879 of a character actor, I think of like over the top, 216 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.519 almost like goofiness. But like you know, but your characters 217 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:31.080 are so rooted, like they're so they're like different people, 218 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.480 like I don't know, researching your career and seeing everything 219 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.679 that you've done, I feel like you've had just such 220 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.120 an actor's career, you know, gotten you to experience so 221 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.440 many different roles and so many different paths and methods 222 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.440 of acting. It's really inspirational to me. And it's really 223 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.960 cool to see that because it takes a lot of 224 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.679 courage to do that as well. 225 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:59.720 I guess, yeah, yeah, I it's you know I now 226 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.240 I want to do like I want to learn how 227 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.799 to act.

I was at a convention with my 369 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.079 dad like ten years ago, literally ten years ago, twenty fifteen, 370 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.960 over in London, and there was some guy who worked 371 00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.720 on that show. I can't remember if he was a 372 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.480 or something, you know, one of the higher up guys, 373 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:04.920 and he's telling us about that long story short. He 374 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:06.799 said that for movies like that, because you know it's 375 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.319 set in twenty thirty five, way in the future, right, 376 00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:11.519 that they have like a division of people who like 377 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:16.359 research like what specifically could be the most accurate aspects 378 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:20.119 of our future reality to try and emulate that. And 379 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.960 as we approach twenty thirty five, I mean, look at 380 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.319 like the technology that we have. It's not that far 381 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.680 fetched from robot anymore, is it. 382 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:29.079 Oh? 383 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.440 God, yeah, they do find cars and everything. 384 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:34.000 So my question to you is do you know of 385 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:36.200 like a division like that that worked on that movie 386 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:37.720 or no? Or is that they have to do it? 387 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:40.480 I mean to they do that, but they they can 388 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:43.920 even because they're big, big movie budget people, and it 389 00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:45.759 was especially back then with the movie industry is a 390 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:50.359 lot stronger. I remember Outing May designed the car for us, 391 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:52.599 and then that was something that we had to keep 392 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:55.200 under wraps and h M. Only a few people could 393 00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:57.640 look at it. And then it was a closed set 394 00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:59.599 when they had the Audi car that they were using, 395 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.240 because it had those wheels that that are adjusted. Yeah, 396 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.640 their globes so they can go sideways, forward, backwards and 397 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.640 all that. There are cars now that have those. They're 398 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.960 still they're still on the fringes, but they do. They 399 00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.079 do make them. Yeah, so they're always. 400 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:17.960 Yeah, they have the Hummer. Now the new Hummer can 401 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.359
