00:00Congratulations on this.

00:01So what did you think when you first read Mike White's scripts?

00:04Oh man, it was amazing.

00:07Because I usually don't even read that much.

00:09I usually just watch a lot of movies and TV shows.

00:13So this is one of the first things that I read and it was just, I couldn't put it down.

00:19You know, I put it down for maybe dinner and then I couldn't wait to pick it back up and read it, you know, in bed.

00:26It was just such a well-written show.

00:28All the characters have such good roles in this series.

00:36So yeah, I can't wait for you guys to watch it, really.

00:38Very exciting.

00:39And Mike said that this season is darker than the past two.

00:42How do you feel like that kind of manifests?

00:44Darker? Yeah, I guess it does have a...

00:47Yeah, I guess it is a little darker, yes.

00:51Yeah, but also set in a very beautiful tropical island.

00:57So it really brings like a nice mix of, you know, dark but also just like jolly and sort of feel of freedom, you know, on that island.

01:08And you share a lot of scenes with Lisa.

01:10What was that like kind of working with her on her first acting role?

01:14It was amazing, to say the least.

01:16Because, you know, I know how... who she is before getting on this show.

01:22And for her to sort of work with me and, you know, sort of...

01:26We got to know each other so well on an offset.

01:29Because she really made the effort to sort of, you know, give me a call and like,

01:33Oh, you want to come have lunch? You want to have a dinner?

01:35Do you want to go on a boat trip tomorrow?

01:37We got the day off.

01:39Because our schedules were pretty much the same.

01:42And with other cast, you know, when we worked, they would be off, you know.

01:46So most of the time was spent with her until it was the weekends.

01:51And then we'd get everyone together and we'd do a bit of karaoke.

01:54Or we'd do like a nice dinner party.

01:57So it was amazing.

01:58And she really helped me out with the Thai dialogue quite a lot, yeah.

02:03I was going to say, the cast bonding on this seems like it would be amazing.

02:06A lot of activities it seems like you guys could get up to.

02:08What was that?

02:09What did you guys kind of check off the list?

02:11Well, you know, it was a lot of water sports.

02:13Because it was boiling when we were there.

02:15Especially during the months of April and May.

02:20Where it's like the hottest time in Thailand.

02:22And, you know, it was really fun taking some of the cast out and doing the Songkran Festival.

02:28I think we were on Phuket at that point.

02:31Not Samui, but Phuket had, you know, obviously lots of these streets

02:38that are just packed with water guns and water fights.

02:41So it was really nice to experience that with the cast.

02:44Yeah, yeah.
