00:00I am always impressed at your ability to make anything a prop to sign.

00:03And now you're playing a robot that makes anything something that he can use as something to fix or solve.

00:09How hands-on did you feel voicing a robot that was so handy?

00:14Oh, I felt hands-on. I mean, my hands were there, and they were on everything, especially Superman.

00:20But in a way, that HR proved us.

00:23I love that we hold him down, and when he gets hit by that ray of yellow sun to repair him,

00:29it happens right in the beginning of the movie.

00:31We're like, hold him down. This is my favorite part.

00:34And he gets blasted by this huge thing, screaming.

00:38Muscles repairing, very painful.

00:40Yeah, and it's just like, this is great. Watch this. It was really fun.

00:45Now, your wife is also in the DC Studios world, thanks to the incredible choreography she does in Peacemaker,

00:50and it's really beautiful work. Do you guys get to talk about celebrating this together?

00:54Is it like a shared family dinner moment now and again?

00:56Yeah, you know, she had been in Atlanta, where we shot this, prior to me getting there,

01:02because she was doing the dance for Peacemaker 2.

01:06Yeah.

01:06So she was already there, scoped everything out for me, and then I showed up later.

01:09She worked with James, then I worked with James.

01:11So, yeah, it's all part of the same world.

01:14It's just called our world.

01:16It's so iconic, and it's really beautiful choreography.

01:18It's great work she does.

01:19But I've got to know, with Clayface, this is a character you've played a few different times, a few different ways.

01:23How excited are you to see the young British or Welsh actor that just booked it put his spin on it?

01:27I'm looking forward to it.

01:29I hope to play, like, one of those walk-on characters that everybody goes,

01:34oh, that's how he was in the animated versions,

01:36where they're kind of a little more self-aware than all the other characters, not really fully in it.

01:42Good to see you.

01:43Hello, and nice to meet you.

01:44The day player that's a little too tuned into the fourth wall.

01:46Yeah.

01:47And last question for you.

01:48This is the 25th anniversary of A Knight's Tale next year.

01:52What?

01:52That movie has endured so beautifully.

01:54What's your strongest, fondest memory of that A Knight's Tale era?

01:57James coming out and saying that this is a story about...

02:00So much.

02:01I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

02:02You know, it was 2000 in Prague in Czech Republic,

02:07which was a very different time for the Czech Republic.

02:09It was a rowdy time for that town.

02:11And it wasn't so full of tourists.

02:14It was still rough around the edges.

02:16So those are my fond memories.

02:18Going out, playing medieval all day with the cast,

02:21and then we'd go out to pubs at night,

02:23and we'd keep playing medieval.

02:25Yeah, if there was a fight, which there often was,

02:28we all stood up as one.

02:30It was pretty nice.

02:31Thanks, guys.

02:31Thanks.

02:31There was a few more days.

02:32Thanks.

02:33Thanks, guys.

02:34Thanks.

02:35Thanks.

02:36You
