00:00I think I've decided not to retire, but to have power rests.

00:06I meditate a lot.

00:09Where do you think Robotnik stands in the pantheon of film villains?

00:14Well, you know, I wouldn't dare to say, but Robotnik would say number one and two, at least.

00:24Yeah, to me, he's the most dangerous kind of human being there is.

00:32A loveless child with a triple digit IQ and whose bitterness has metastasised into total villainy.

00:42And in this film, you're obviously playing Ivo and you're also playing Gerald Robotnik.

00:48How did the prosthetics compare to previous films like The Mask and The Grinch?

00:52Well, there was no challenge like The Grinch.

00:55The Grinch, I had to be trained by a guy who actually tells CIA people and operatives how to endure torture.

01:06That's how I got through The Grinch.

01:08So that was the worst one.

01:10The Mask was the prep for that one.

01:13And I was pretty challenged by that.

01:17This one was easy.

01:19The group was easy.

01:20They made it as simple as the process could be.

01:25Marc Coulier and his group really, really did a fantastic job.

01:30And we had a blast.

01:31I mean, we just had a nutty time in the trailer.

01:34You've worn this moustache in these films for three movies now.

01:38Has that put you off facial hair forever or will we see you with a beard again,

01:43like the amazing one that you rocked a few years ago?

01:46Yeah, I liked having that beard.

01:48That was a nice thing.

01:49It covers the neck.

01:50You don't have to wear turtlenecks and stuff.

01:52But, yeah, that was great.

01:56You know, it's never fun to glue hair to your face.

02:00It's fun to have a beard or a moustache, but to glue hair.

02:04And, oh, who was it?

02:06I don't remember the gentleman's name now.

02:08He plays the Wookiee in the new Star Wars stuff.

02:14And he was part of our crew.

02:17And he came up to me one day and I said,

02:20I know what you're going through.

02:22It's yak hair, right?

02:23I'm like, oh, yes, it's yak hair.

02:25And we compared stories of the Grinch and what's his name?

02:31Chewbacca.

02:32Chewbacca, right?

02:33Yeah, that guy, Chewbacca.

02:35You've made millions of people laugh for so many decades now.

02:39What makes you laugh the hardest?

02:41Ben Schwartz.

02:42Ben Schwartz makes me laugh.

02:44Yeah.

02:45I mean, he's really funny.

02:47Really funny.

02:48Really great.

02:49And he does a fantastic job with this character.

02:51So, you know, he's a wonderful foil.

02:54It's a great relationship that Robotnik and him have

02:59in the contestedness of it.

03:02And so there's just a bunch of fantastic people involved

03:06in this production, Colleen O'Shaughnessy

03:08and all these wonderful actors that are coming through

03:12and joining up, and Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba,

03:15and it's just growing exponentially.

03:18And Adam Pally has the television show,

03:21the Knuckles show, and so it's really fostering

03:26this really creative atmosphere.
