- The Tim was in Joker 2, you guys know that?
- I'll speak about it right now.
- And he plays a security, like a--
- A lot of people are on it in the press.
- Why? - Why?
- They're panning on it.
I don't know why, but I'll tell you right now,
I was, I had suggestions.
They were not followed by the director.
- Okay, okay.
- By Joaquin?
- Yeah, yeah.
- By Gaga?
So the reality was I was a security guard.
I had two or three lines.
I felt underutilized.
I said, I will direct it.
I said, I will direct it.
Or I will assistant direct it.
I don't know who that guy was.
He did something with Ben Affleck, I don't care.
I would have done any of the,
I would have done cinematography,
which I didn't, I wasn't hugely clear
on what exactly it entailed.
But I knew that I had a lot more to give that movie
than it accepted from me.
Now, if it's a stunning success,
I'm proud to be a part of it.
But if it does fail,
it is because they didn't utilize me in a proper way.
But if it's a success,
I am proud to be a part of it.
- But what was it like?
- If it fails.
- What was it like?
'Cause I know your scene has,
Joaquin was in the scene, right?
- He was in the scene.
- Right, so what was that like?
- I didn't, I didn't learn the lines.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Because they always lie.
The agent lies and they go,
they want you to be you and be funny.
And they lie.
- Right.
- Yeah, yeah.
- They don't want that.
Andrew's a great actor and he does like the work of it.
- Yeah.
- I showed up and I'm like, I'm going.
- I'm okay too, you know?
- Both of you, both of you.
But he was the one I, he's white.
But what I was saying is.
- Thank you.
- I showed up and I was like,
you know, I didn't,
you didn't get the script ahead of time.
Because they were,
they didn't want you to leak it.
- Oh, I hate when they do that.
- So they give you lines in the morning
and I like read them real quick.
And I guess I should have drilled them a little more,
but they kept changing them.
And you know, I was a bit nervous
and it's what you've never done a scene
in any movie in my life before.
This is the first scene in any movie
I've ever done in my whole entire life.
- It's with Joaquin Phoenix.
- With Joaquin Phoenix.
- Yeah.
- And Brendan Gleeson.
- Holy shit.
- Wow.
- Genius.
- Okay.
So I'm like scared.
Truly, truly terrified.
Like I'm not even kidding.
Like I'm nervous in my trailer.
I called my agent.
I don't even think I should be in this.
- Yeah.
- He goes, no, no, no.
- I love this.
- It's all fine.
It's good.
Okay. 'Cause I'm out of my element.
This is not what I do.
- Yeah.
- And, but I'm, listen, I like acting.
I like challenges and whatever,
but it's a tough one to start with.
- Tough.
- There's a lot of blocking in the scene.
There's a book that I have to move across the table.
There's lines, but like, as I'm doing the lines,
like the, you don't have to look,
like the director would come up to me.
He goes, listen, here's a scene.
You say your first line, after you say your first line,
you move your book, the book,
you put your hands on the book.
Don't block the title of the book.
- Yeah.
- Don't block the cover.
- Yeah.
- Move it 70% across the desk.
80%, it's at a frame.
Do you get that?
- Yeah, yeah.
- And I go, yes.
And then you go, then you're gonna look and Brendan,
you're gonna look at Brendan,
but you're gonna wait for him to say his line.
- Yeah.
- So that Joaquin's gonna pick up the phone.
At that point, you wait one beat,
you say half of your line, okay?
Joaquin's gonna look at you.
He gives you a look, he acknowledges that you're there.
- Yeah.
- And then you finish your second line.
- Yeah.
- Okay?
I don't know what, and he would say this to me.
He'd go, what the fuck is the problem here?
'Cause he was being very like, and I get it.
I respect him.
He's a great director.
I like being yelled at and it was deserved.
- Yeah.
- And, but Joaquin was like, he's doing fine.
Like Joaquin would turn around to the director
and go, he's okay.
And I'm like, man, I'm doing fine.
- Yeah.
- But they would yell.
So then there was like 80 people around you.
We're on the universal lot, all the cameras, okay?
And then they would go action.
And I would go, I mean, I would fuck it up every which way.
- Yeah.
- One time, one time I was so nervous.
I didn't even say the line.
- Yeah.
- I just moved the book.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I just moved the book and looked away.
And the director starts going,
why the fuck are you looking away?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
- He goes, just say the goddamn line.
- Does that make you even more nervous?
- Oh my God.
- Yeah, yeah, I can't imagine.
- This was one of the worst experiences of my entire life,
except it was good at the end, I guess.
I don't know.
- Did you sing?
- What?
- Did you sing?
- No, it's a musical.
I should've sang. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I couldn't even speak.
So then he would come up to me.
- Sing.
He can't get through a fucking line in a book shift.
- So he'd go like this, but it was hard.
I'm telling you.
- I know it was, but it's just his questioning is-
- No, it just made me so-
- But I get it.
- I apologize.
- I apologize on it.
- But I should've sang.
- Yeah, yeah.
- But the point is I was there and then I would do it again.
And then he would come up to me and go, okay.
He'd go, he goes, listen.
He goes, the line is actually this.
And I said, and I'm not saying that.
He goes, no, you've never said that.
You've never said the line.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You've actually never said this line.
And I said, he goes, so he goes, just forget it.
He goes, just say, he goes, this,
just sit close enough to it, you know?
- Yeah.
- And then eventually I got it and I did it,
but it was very hard.
It's like hard to do.
And I felt bad because again, I'm not an expert
and I felt bad.
- It's your first one.
- What are the chances the scene does not make it?
- I didn't think it was gonna be in it.
- Okay.
- But is it, do you know?
- It's in it.
- That's great.
- That's great.
- Do we see a photo of you on the internet at all?
- I don't think,
I think maybe there's one little photo.
- Oh really?
- I haven't seen the scene
because it's not a pivotal scene.
I don't think.
- Yeah.
- Where is it?
- Yeah, that's, yeah.
- It's with security guards.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's with security guards.
But I didn't know if they were gonna put it in,
but they put it in
'cause Todd said he got it at the end.
He said it was good at the end.
- Zoom in.
Is that him?
- I don't know where I am.
Where am I?
- There's Timmy D.
- There's Timmy.
- There's Timmy D.
- And maybe, and you know what it looked,
I look like I'm doing acting there.
- Yeah, that looks so.
- I actually look like I'm doing.
- If I saw that photo,
I was like, oh, that guy's a good actor.
- No, and you know what?
Maybe, literally maybe I shouldn't have said anything
because maybe my scene is great.
- I bet you it is.
- I bet it is.
- Here's the problem.
- It's shot so beautifully.
- We internalize it.
'Cause the things that we're feeling and thinking, right?
No one else feels their things.
- That's right.
- But because it happens to us, right?
It becomes a big thing.
- I think, just 'cause I wasn't saying the line
or doing the blocking doesn't mean I was doing a bad job.
- Exactly.
- No.
- Yeah.
- I mean, that's.
- I was feeling.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Because I was feeling it out and that's what actors do.
- Yeah.
- I'm like becoming the, you know, thing.
- How was this guy in the middle
that's kind of Ricky Gervais looking?
Was he good?
- Yeah, he was really, they're all really, here's the thing.
- I mean, Gleason's phenomenal.
- They're all really good.
All these actors in this film were excellent.
And it's hard to be an actor
'cause I was talking to them and like,
they just got out of COVID and they hadn't booked anything.
And a lot of them were like, this is their big thing.
One guy went out and got COVID and they had to get rid of him.
- Wow.
- Jesus.
- And this was like his thing, it was his time.
- I have a story that's kind of like this.
Forget it.
Forget it, forget it.
I said forget it, forget it.
- I'm interested.
- No, no, forget it, forget it, forget it.
I'm not even gonna do it now.
- What is it?
- What's the fucking look for?
That was rude.
- I was waiting for you to tell your story.
- No, you're like,
how dare you interrupt this magical thing we got going on?
- Well, no, I mean,
he has given us some really great juicy shit,
but no, let's hear the thing.
- No, I don't want to know
it's not even that good now.
- Now you have to.
- It's not even that good now.
Let's go back to the-
- No, we're not gonna carry on.
- I saw Thanksgiving.
You were great in that.
- Thanksgiving was good.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Thanksgiving was really good.
But this is-
- Tell your story.
- I'm not, Thanksgiving was good.
- What movie was it that you had?
- Forget it.
It's okay.
- No, no, don't let it.
- Yeah, yeah.
- When you did a bad acting job, what movie?
- It was pretty bad.
- Well, cause that's what I'm, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, so anyway, you know, that's all.
Come on, tell your story.
For real.
- Well, cut it out then.
Because I don't think it's gonna hit now.
- What?
Tell it.
- It will hit.
- Can we do the segue again then?
- Yes, let's do it.
- Let's do the segue.
Do you remember what you were talking about?
Anyway, yeah, so this and that, yeah.
Did you ever have any experiences like this?
- No, no, I'm doing it.
All right.
- I get to do it.
- I didn't know.
I'm very good at segues.
- I know you're very good.
Oh, wow, so yeah, Gleason, wow.
Well, I have a story kind of like this.
- What is that?
- What happened?
- That was so good.
- Yeah, thanks.
- And I wish that happened before.
- No.
- Don't you wish it?
- Have you ever had an experience that's similar to mine?
- It's over, Tim!
- Yeah!
- Woo-hoo!
- Yeah!
- Woo-hoo!
- Yeah!
