00:00Hi Orlando, how are you doing? Nice to see you.
00:03By the way, absolutely loved your impression.
00:04You've got a lotus flower on your arm, that's cool.
00:06I know, you noticed that, thank you.
00:07I've actually got one in my hip as well, but that one's hidden.
00:10Have you got one?
00:11Not a lot, that's a nice one.
00:12Thank you very much, I'm so glad you noticed that.
00:14I actually got it at an event, and I was about pissed, but there we go.
00:17Oh, there you go, good choice.
00:19I loved the Manchester accent.
00:20Oh, thanks, did I do okay?
00:21I actually thought it was Liam Gallagher, I was like, this could be Oasis.
00:25That's who I was channelling, thank you very much.
00:28Playing a character, and then multiple characters within that character.
00:32So fun.
00:33I mean, I think the script, you know, was so well executed, and the premise was so fantastic.
00:40You know, it sort of does what it says on the tin, or on the pizza box.
00:43Yeah.
00:44That, you know, it's like, it was just like a yes and, pardon the puns, but it really was.
00:50It's like, it's a funny concept, it's a funny premise, and the script was so well done that
00:56all we really needed to do was, you know, commit, commit, commit, commit.
01:00And Marlin's written, and to be that guy who takes himself too seriously.
01:06I've never done that, taking myself too seriously.
01:08I just don't do that.
01:10But, you know, and we had this amazing support cast, you know, like Sonoya just breezed past,
01:16Ian McShane, you know, Sean, of course, Sean Bean, Hattie Constantine, amazing, Ian McShane.
01:24So, you know, like, we're really wheeling out some of the greats from, you know, British film and TV.
01:30And it's, you know, it sort of does what it says on the tin, I think, or on the pizza box, as I like to say.
01:35On the pizza box.
01:36I thought my accent might give you some Ian McShane related.
01:40I feel it, I'm feeling it, deep, deep, deep cover.
01:43Yeah, it's good.
01:44But how amazing is it, considering everything that you've done in your career,
01:47that you can do something like this and just have total fun?
01:50I mean, that's sort of what I'm doing with my career now.
01:52I'm like, you know, I sort of make choices based on life's a little short,
01:58you don't want to work with a lot of ego, and you just want to have a good time,
02:02and, you know, commit 100%.
02:04So, you know, weirdly, like, it was a comedy where I got to play a character who goes deep
02:09and takes himself very seriously.
02:12So that was like, and that was the fun, you know, that was the funny and also opportunity to sort of,
02:18you know, dig in, which, and I like that.
02:20I'm not like method per se, but I'm like, I always like commit 110%.
02:24I think we're a group on set, we're collaborative, and we need to all support one another.
02:28So that sort of method idea gets banded around, and it can be misconstrued.
02:32But I think when you kind of commit 100%, you kind of deliver,
02:35or hopefully deliver something that's entertaining.
02:37Amazing. Well, thank you so much. I loved it.
02:39I better let you go on, but thank you for noticing my tattoo.
02:41I love it.
