I wanted to start out by asking about the episode you directed. I was curious if there's anything
00:04
you took away from a movie set you worked on or something a director did that you wanted
00:08
to directly apply to the set you were working on. It's kind of like I did SNL recently and I didn't
00:13
you know you don't at this point and this doesn't have to do with status or anything but there's no
00:18
reason for me to do it you know if I'm trying to promote something I guess but for me personally
00:25
it's like am I getting lazy what kind of energy am I bringing do I still have the engine that I
00:30
had and all that kind of stuff so I think with directing the people that I've appreciated the
00:36
most who you know have been I think the most talented are the people with the least amount
00:43
of pretense you know and the least amount of ego I think that I bring that anyway but I think that
00:50
that was somewhat conscious I got super excited about other actors it was really fun not having
00:57
to focus on well what am I doing in the scene and what am I this and what how are they directing and
01:03
are they fucking it up or they you know enhancing it or whatever and it was really fun to get into
01:09
the behavioral architecture of it and then also be able to work with dps and you know production
01:14
designers and wardrobe and all that kind of stuff it was just more fun it was just you know it just
01:21
got my it my interest and my obsession with storytelling just grew was there anything in
01:28
particular that you guys were looking for when you were trying to cast young royal or younger
01:32
I mean yeah you're looking for a sense you're looking for a sense but then you're also looking
01:37
at your past self where like I said I mean not that he has a big ego because he was so wonderful
01:43
and he was so into it and but you you know a younger version of you you're gonna get those
01:50
adolescent add-ons that you've let go of since I'm a 56 year old guy he's in his 30s it's a
01:56
different thing so you know he's he's me in no country or before and it was kind of it's it's
02:04
it was really fun I think that I hit him too hard in the in the beginning where I was like
02:10
you know what are you doing I don't understand but I think that that's just my nature to kind
02:16
of poke and prod and you know and once I once I felt like he could deal with it he was he was
02:25
one of us and it was okay but there was a sense about him that I really liked you know I think
02:31
he was trying to get a voice thing down I think he did a really good job at it but it was but it
02:36
was more his body language in the way he kind of held himself that I think made it work well
02:44
though it was a very strange thing to be able to do which is why I'm having trouble talking about
02:48
no weird
