how did you get the acting bug
like it didn't
like your whole
your root is really
odd
yes
I was interested in it
oh you know what I should say
I would say it was old school
because so many
of the old school actors
Lee Marvin and all them
literally fought in wars
yeah yeah
Gene Hackman
yeah
it was a lot of action back then
you know
yeah yeah yeah
yeah it was
I was interested
it was World War II
to Korea to Vietnam
I mean it was kind of hard
to avoid it
well and I also think
I think that that's why
those guys are so
compelling
because they're little guys
they're like
they all weigh like 140 pounds
but they actually
you know they saw action
they killed people
so like when Lee Marvin
was like delivering lines
I think he was involved
in something where like
his whole platoon
except for him
and like a couple other guys
got like wiped out
there's just something about that
like those guys
when they were on screen
so because I
you
as much as you're
way younger than me
and everything
you have like a throwback vibe
you don't have like
like when I talk to you
I don't feel like that
like I don't know
what happened
along the way
but there was
I don't know
if it's just me being older
but there's just
different kinds of people now
like people are just like
I've just lived
I guess long enough
that
like I don't know
what the fuck
was I watching
the other night
I was watching
Magnum P.I.
because a friend of mine
was on it
and the guy's like
Magnum's like stuck
in this relationship
and his girlfriend's
giving him shit
and they're not spending
enough time
and I'm just like
they never had storylines
like this
guy was just driving around
in a Ferrari
banging chicks
you know
and then even like
the helicopter part
like the first guy
was jacked
and this guy was more
like you know
he had the dad bod
going on
no offense to that guy
but I'm just saying
like this is
who Tom Selleck
or no no
the guy who played TC
the original TC guy
was fucking jacked
and the next guy
like it was just
everything was just
sort of like
softened a little
everybody was like
alright you know
like the new Magnum
is a lot more understanding
and he like
he's like examining
there was no examination
yeah yeah
it was
like the first
if you watch the first Magnum
it's weird
now when you go back
and watch it
it's just like
so all these guys
are straight
right
they're all just
kind of fucking
hanging out
doing all this
manly stuff
flying helicopters
and surfing
and shit
yeah
there was just
sort of something
like
it's weird
it's like
super manly
and then maybe
like really gay
at the same time
where now
I felt like
the new Magnum
is just way more
they're just like
regular
it's like
oh you solve crimes too
do ya
I thought you were
in fucking
you know
fucking
I don't know
HR or something
I guess I'll never
be on that show
but
I haven't seen
the new one
but I know
what you're
I know
what you're
talking about
yeah
yeah
even the
even the Ferrari
our movie
it's like
it's all
pre-psychology
they're not so
analytical
right
about
Enzo Ferrari
wasn't someone
who was like
well let me think
about how I feel
about it
he's instinctual
and moving
forward
wasn't his thing
like when a driver
died
he'd say
that's terrible
my condolences
to the family
how's the car
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
well in the movie
he talks about
a little bit
he had
two good friends
Campari and
Bortzikini
who were killed
by cars that he made
and so he just
you know
he came up with
this system
of dealing with it
his own psychology
of just building a wall
so if anything
and being
unemotional
about it
and you know
manipulating personalities
to get what it is
that he wanted
the best out of them
but not getting
so close
that you know
he would betray
you know
any kind of emotion
or anything like that
when they would die
yeah
I cannot wait to see this
did you shoot this
in Italy
can you say yes
yeah in Modena
the town
everything
like
it'll make more sense
when you see the film
but the
like the haircut
the barber
where he gets a haircut
is the barber
where he gets his haircut
the guy who's cutting his hair
is the grandson
of the guy who cut his hair
the opera house
is the opera house
everything is
where the crash is
at the end
is the actual crash
I would say more about it
but
how long
how long were you shooting
over there
four months
four months
like a month of pre-production
is it annoying
to have to be working
that hard
in a place that gorgeous
with that good of food
and stuff
and be like
like you did have
weekends off
right
or were you just
yeah weekends off
but it's
it was like prosthetics
and it's the middle of
August
in Italy
in Modena
which is the hottest
fucking time of the year
so you're
you're
all you're doing
recovering on the weekends
and my family was there
so you're
you're just recovering
because it wound up
being like 17 hour days
18 hour days
sometimes 20 hour days
where do you go
do you have to go
do you have to go
somewhere mentally
when you go on
do you have like a
I don't know if this is
a stand up comedian thing
because like
I can do my shit
in real time
in an hour and 15 minutes
I am done
and I can just go
chill out
where like
yeah movie
like you have to be there
like I always
leave my phone
in the trailer
because I don't want
I just look at it
like I'm going into a casino
like I don't know
what time it is
I don't know what it is
I'm just here
I'm doing whatever
they tell me to do
and then somebody
just goes
hey it's lunch time
you're like oh okay
I guess it's noon
yeah totally
yeah yeah
wait when you do
when you travel
on stand up
you have a
you're saying that
when you're done
you just
you're done
you're shut it off
is that what you mean
no I'm saying
that the difference
between acting
like the mental strength
you need as an actor
versus a comedian
is like
like stand up
it's a joke
like there's nobody
fucking telling you
what to do
you can do whatever
you want to do
and if it doesn't work
you can blame the crowd
it's like this
fucking amazing
that's why so many
of us are assholes
fuck this state
you know
and just fucking
you just move on
right
there's really
you know
if you're not careful
there's no self-examination
like learning about yourself
but I felt like
then with acting
is that you have to be
on like this team
and like
you can't be like
you know
fuck this shit
I'm out of here
fuck you people suck
you can't do that
I mean you can't
yeah
so you have to like
go there
and just know
like alright
I guess we're doing
17 hour days
on this thing
and then
it's almost like
doing cardio
you have to get like
used to doing that
yeah
and
to me it's very similar
to the military actually
I mean the stakes
are completely different
but it's all about
working within a group
of people
and you have a role
and you have to do
your role really well
and you have to support
all the personalities
that come in
because for the sake
of the movie
not necessarily you
you know
the crossovers
are obvious
to me
how did you
coming from like
the military
like you fit in
with marines
and then you also
fit in with actors
that's pretty wild
to me
yeah
I didn't initially
with actors
I do now
I mean it's all about
I'm sure with
the same thing
with comedy
it's finding the right
group of people
I don't fit in
with all actors
you can tell
right away
if an actor
comes on set
and it's very much
about them
and their performance
and what it is
that they're trying
to versus an actor
who comes on
and they're
because it's stressful
as you know
you're fighting technology
you're fighting time
you're racing the clock
and someone's videotaping
the whole thing
and you're never
going to come back
there and do it again
and if in the midst
of all of that
stress and stakes
they're there
to kind of serve
the film
and the bigger picture
and you as a scene
partner
like those are people
that you try
to hold on to
and the other people
that are there
for their own thing
or they're fucking
checked out
when that's
you know
your coverage
or they're
taking up time
and wasting energy
then you try
to get rid of those
people as soon as possible
people on their phones
in between
I don't know
how they do that
yeah
I can't stand it
