It's wonderful to see you both to be in the room with such icons. I'm so, so excited.
00:04
Oh, thank you.
00:05
I am truly a big fan of the movie. I think it's so fun and warm. And I just,
00:09
I wanted to go over to you, Zach, and I know you kind of, yeah, give you the floor. I know you
00:15
kind of switched between some genres recently. You've been doing dramas, and now you're here
00:19
in a comedy. And I also hear that you are the improv king. So I just, I wanted, I know,
00:25
I wanted to know, like, do comedies have a soft spot for you?
00:28
Um, yeah, I'm definitely not the improv king. No, I've heard it multiple times today.
00:34
Um, it's, I love comedy. I think it's not really different to doing drama in a number of ways. I
00:42
think this if you make the stakes as high, it's very much very, very similar for me. But yeah,
00:49
we get to commit to some pretty funny things in this movie. Our stuff's great. But Chris is kind
00:54
of a ridiculous character. And it was fun to really character to commit to him and show his
01:00
his flaws and vulnerabilities. It was really fun. And was it just you bringing stuff out? I mean,
01:05
I know, like you just start singing Cher was was that an improv part or that that I had some help
01:11
there with from Richard, our director. That would be the first one I would jump to saying if I was
01:18
really improving, but he he kind of played it for me before it taken. Okay,
01:23
this is I'll do it. I don't know if Joey knew to be honest, maybe she thinks that was an improv.
01:30
And Nicole, just going over to you. I know you both have worked together before. But what was
01:34
it like coming together on this film and creating, you know, broken Chris's chemistry?
01:38
Um, we were talking before we signed on and we signed on sort of together. It was just if you
01:44
do it, I'll do it sort of thing because I think it is about the chemistry. And I feel really
01:49
comfortable with Zach and I was like, Okay, and I knew that Joey was going to do it, but I didn't
01:54
know Joey yet. But I knew she was really funny. So I was like, Okay, I need someone that's going
02:00
to carry me through this. And along came my night and shining and the feeling so mutual. It was like,
02:06
she she called me and was like, if you're in Yeah, that's how we started. And it was great.
02:11
We also have had some experience. Yeah, love on camera in the past. And it was great.
02:18
And doing wild scenes in Paperboy, I think gave us the ease now to be like, yeah,
02:24
try this for January. Come on. Yeah, this was very easy. Compared to what we did.
02:32
So that's good. And it's so nice coming back together, but in something totally different.
02:37
Absolutely. And just kind of talking about like coming back together. I know I would love
02:41
to see broken Chris again. But I think that's probably premature to start screaming sequel.
02:46
But if you could, you know, revisit a role that you've done before,
02:49
do you have one that you would choose? Oh, I'm curious what you would think.
02:54
We just went. It hasn't come out yet. You're AFR. No. But the amount of roles and the versatile
03:01
characters that you've played over the course of your career is mind. Absolutely. I'm in awe.
03:07
I left that night. I was I probably cried more than you did. I was like, so, so blown away by
03:12
that night. But you have such a multitude of diverse characters. I would have been lucky.
03:18
I mean, I've always wanted to not be typecast. I'm, you know, a crazy. I'm crazy.
03:26
There we go. It's great to shoot for that, to try such different things and really to bring
03:34
like a centered, I don't know, like relatable character in so many, so many different genres.
03:39
It's just mind blowing. I'm so impressed by you and inspired. I mean, I think that is true for
03:44
both of you. I think that you've played, you know, yeah, many, many different characters.
03:48
But I mean, do you have one that you would want to play again? Come on. Oh, man. I can't. I think
03:54
there's a lot of them. I love to play. Yeah, there's no he's not going to say hi. No. I mean,
04:01
why not? No, he is. There we go. I'd be down to do that. I'm sure. Nicole, how about you?
04:10
I think I'm always looking for what's new, but I don't mind coming back to something if the story
04:16
warrants being told. That's the right. So the idea of coming back to a character just for the sake
04:21
of coming back to it, that's difficult because it's so kismet, you know, when you do something
04:27
and when it actually works, that's kismet that you can't control any of that. That's sort of
04:32
like some fairy dust gets sprinkled in some way. So therefore, if the story warrants it,
04:38
or is there is something that can move it forward, then that's great. But I'm also always
04:45
trying to go. And I suppose that's why I have had such a crazy array of characters to play. I've
04:50
been well, I'm willing to travel anywhere and try anything. And that's always been my credo.
04:56
So I'm like, let's go. And I've been like that since I started working at 14. So I'm, I want to
05:03
be able to I'm very, very curious. So and I've never wanted to be defined, which is kind of
05:12
just my willful nature anyway. I love it. Well, thank you both so much. That's all the time I
05:20
have. But congratulations on the film. Thank you. Thank you.
