Marc Preston: screener of Duel last night and I was like
68
,525 --> 00:02:29,120
Marc Preston: I gotta make sure his name's right, because
69
,141 --> 00:02:30,585
Marc Preston: my kids grew up on Hawaii 5.0.
70
,605 --> 00:02:31,868
Marc Preston: I was like I can't call him junior.
71
,069 --> 00:02:32,671
Marc Preston: I can't do that.
72
,100 --> 00:02:35,787

75
,522 --> 00:02:42,408

,080 --> 00:02:45,468

Marc Preston: Zealand?
81
,168 --> 00:02:49,990
Beulah Koale: In Oakland.
82
,371 --> 00:02:52,066
Marc Preston: It's so funny so many people have.
83
,689 --> 00:02:54,076
Marc Preston: When they think of New Zealand they think
84
,136 --> 00:02:56,366
Marc Preston: of Lord of the Rings and my reference point
85
,289 --> 00:02:59,277
Marc Preston: is when I first kind of started thinking
86
,317 --> 00:03:01,044
Marc Preston: more about New Zealand, I watched a whale
87
,084 --> 00:03:04,907
Marc Preston: rider and I thought that was such a the
88
,968 --> 00:03:06,150
Marc Preston: Maori folks.
89
,171 --> 00:03:08,722
Marc Preston: I was very intrigued by them and kind of
90
,742 --> 00:03:11,587
Marc Preston: the when I traveled to Hawaii.
91
,068 --> 00:03:15,803
Marc Preston: To me there's a it's almost like and please
92
,864 --> 00:03:17,341
Marc Preston: tell me if I'm wrong, it seems to be like
93
,362 --> 00:03:18,807
Marc Preston: it's almost like your cousins, kind of.
94
,980 --> 00:03:20,766
Beulah Koale: Well, we're pretty much the same people
95
,927 --> 00:03:22,886
Beulah Koale: because we always, but we just navigated
96
,967 --> 00:03:25,965
Beulah Koale: the oceans, the Pacific oceans, so we're
97
,005 --> 00:03:28,457
Beulah Koale: all from the same, you know cluster of
98
,498 --> 00:03:28,940
Beulah Koale: people anyway.
99
,141 --> 00:03:31,241
Beulah Koale: Like the languages are very similar, like I
100
,301 --> 00:03:33,526
Beulah Koale: understand a lot of different Polynesian
101
,208 --> 00:03:38,105
Beulah Koale: languages, even Maori, because it's rooted
102
,166 --> 00:03:40,471
Beulah Koale: somewhere that is very the same, because
103
,531 --> 00:03:43,226
Beulah Koale: they're all even counting is almost exactly
104
,267 --> 00:03:43,567
Beulah Koale: the same.
105
,588 --> 00:03:45,040
Marc Preston: Really so.
106
,060 --> 00:03:46,805
Marc Preston: How did you do with Pigeon when you were in
107
,825 --> 00:03:47,226
Marc Preston: Hawaii?
108
,908 --> 00:03:49,786
Beulah Koale: So that's different, so that's very
109
,826 --> 00:03:51,940
Beulah Koale: different, because that was it's all.
110
,401 --> 00:03:56,728
Beulah Koale: Is that to make sure of, like Filipino, a
111
,788 --> 00:03:58,892
Beulah Koale: lot, of, a lot of the immigrants that came
112
,992 --> 00:04:00,594
Beulah Koale: to Hawaii and were working there.
113
,381 --> 00:04:03,468
Beulah Koale: So they made their own little dialect.
114
,080 --> 00:04:06,025
Beulah Koale: So that's something I didn't really know.
115
,065 --> 00:04:10,148
Beulah Koale: I knew that existed in Hawaii and like I
116
,168 --> 00:04:11,799
Beulah Koale: compare it to like how we talk in New
117
,819 --> 00:04:14,126
Beulah Koale: Zealand, which is, you know, kind of like a
118
,166 --> 00:04:17,832
Beulah Koale: slang term, like not just for Maori people
119
,913 --> 00:04:18,940
Beulah Koale: but for all of us in New Zealand,
120
,483 --> 00:04:21,312
Beulah Koale: especially where I grew up in South Oakland,
121
,332 --> 00:04:24,249
Beulah Koale: like we're very like yeah, we would talk
122
,289 --> 00:04:27,106
Beulah Koale: like this, but we never really, we never
123
,146 --> 00:04:28,814
Beulah Koale: really said anything and people didn't
124
,854 --> 00:04:29,940
Beulah Koale: really understand what we're saying.
125
,322 --> 00:04:31,671
Marc Preston: But, like I said, Will Ryder was so
126
,772 --> 00:04:37,748
Marc Preston: fascinating to me because it Kurt oh gosh,
127
,768 --> 00:04:38,890
Marc Preston: can't think of the actor's name.
128
,950 --> 00:04:41,274
Marc Preston: You probably know him Cliff Curtis, cliff
129
,294 --> 00:04:43,367
Marc Preston: Curtis, he just he's now.
130
,387 --> 00:04:44,714
Marc Preston: He's just a phenomenal actor.
131
,854 --> 00:04:46,501
Marc Preston: I really just enjoyed that and that was a
132
,963 --> 00:04:48,507
Marc Preston: kind of a window into something I wasn't
133
,567 --> 00:04:49,530
Marc Preston: really that aware of.
134
,202 --> 00:04:51,798
Marc Preston: But real quick, congratulations on the
135
,839 --> 00:04:52,846
Marc Preston: movie Again.
136
,906 --> 00:04:54,014
Marc Preston: My daughter and I were watching the
137
,054 --> 00:04:54,940
Marc Preston: screener last night.
138
,785 --> 00:04:57,296
Marc Preston: Didn't know what to expect and I love
139
,356 --> 00:04:57,940
Marc Preston: watching a movie.
140
,903 --> 00:05:00,288
Marc Preston: I got no clue what's coming at me.
141
,161 --> 00:05:02,566
Marc Preston: I had no clue where this film was going.
142
,960 --> 00:05:03,950
Marc Preston: We were sitting there going what is
143
,990 --> 00:05:04,536
Marc Preston: happening here?

,596 --> 00:05:05,667
Marc Preston: Exactly it was.
145
,849 --> 00:05:06,960
Marc Preston: That was the fun ride of it.
146
,601 --> 00:05:08,223
Marc Preston: Now you shot that.
147
,443 --> 00:05:10,347
Marc Preston: I had to look it up because I was noticing
148
,129 --> 00:05:13,602
Marc Preston: that little things like the light switch,
149
,425 --> 00:05:15,288
Marc Preston: we looked a little bit different.
150
,020 --> 00:05:17,445
Marc Preston: I was noticing some very few people had an
151
,485 --> 00:05:18,348
Marc Preston: American dialect.
152
,221 --> 00:05:20,144
Marc Preston: You did which you know.
153
,224 --> 00:05:21,207
Marc Preston: You're reMarcable.
154
,960 --> 00:05:22,281
Marc Preston: I was like man.
155
,622 --> 00:05:23,886
Marc Preston: At first I didn't even know you're from New
156
,947 --> 00:05:24,268
Marc Preston: Zealand.
157
,960 --> 00:05:26,226
Marc Preston: I was like man, you're, you're good.
158
,960 --> 00:05:28,283
Marc Preston: I was like, oh, and this had to be filmed
159
,443 --> 00:05:28,944
Marc Preston: somewhere.
160
,205 --> 00:05:29,666
Marc Preston: Where was it?
161
,726 --> 00:05:30,929
Marc Preston: It was made in Finland, right.
162
,390 --> 00:05:33,964
Beulah Koale: Yeah, it got pushed out there because of
163
,004 --> 00:05:37,006
Beulah Koale: the pandemic, like we shot this right at
164
,046 --> 00:05:40,644
Beulah Koale: the beginning of the pandemic before
165
,704 --> 00:05:41,445
Beulah Koale: vaccines.
166
,229 --> 00:05:46,203
Beulah Koale: You know, remember that time I try to
167
,244 --> 00:05:48,249
Beulah Koale: forget but but for me.
168
,430 --> 00:05:49,707
Marc Preston: I always work, I've always worked out of
169
,728 --> 00:05:51,521
Marc Preston: the house in my recording studio here, so
170
,561 --> 00:05:53,446
Marc Preston: it's kind of like nothing really
171
,546 --> 00:05:54,790
Marc Preston: functionally changed for me.
172
,810 --> 00:05:55,712
Marc Preston: That was that much different.
173
,020 --> 00:05:57,486
Marc Preston: There's less traffic on the road and stuff.
174
,960 --> 00:06:00,206
Marc Preston: But everybody I've talked to has had a
175
,246 --> 00:06:02,271
Marc Preston: different COVID filming story.
176
,081 --> 00:06:04,631
Marc Preston: Now, if it happened before the vaccine,
177
,691 --> 00:06:06,404
Marc Preston: after the, even now there's, there's
178
,445 --> 00:06:07,960
Marc Preston: protocols and and have you seen it?
179
,642 --> 00:06:09,163

183
,752 --> 00:06:13,714

Marc Preston: It's about shooting a movie during COVID.
186
,202 --> 00:06:16,930
Marc Preston: It's just a rediculous.
187
,950 --> 00:06:18,462
Marc Preston: It's a Jet Appetite on movie, so it's a
188
,502 --> 00:06:19,707
Marc Preston: beautifully ridiculous movie.
189
,622 --> 00:06:21,685
Marc Preston: But what was that like?
190
,705 --> 00:06:23,069
Marc Preston: Shooting during the pandemic for y'all?

,396 --> 00:06:26,960
Beulah Koale: It was crazy.
193
,301 --> 00:06:29,980
Beulah Koale: It was definitely like man, we're kind of I
194
,000 --> 00:06:31,426

195
,546 --> 00:06:33,490

Beulah Koale: right in the middle of the pandemic.
198
,202 --> 00:06:39,718
Beulah Koale: We had to shoot in Finland because America,
199
,738 --> 00:06:42,457
Beulah Koale: you know it was doing its America thing
200
,497 --> 00:06:45,473
Beulah Koale: during the pandemic, during the beginning
201
,513 --> 00:06:46,779

,502 --> 00:18:48,873
Beulah Koale: Hull, who wrote American Sniper, and he
539
,934 --> 00:18:53,182
Beulah Koale: cast me and I played across Miles Teller
540
,843 --> 00:18:57,090
Beulah Koale: and he looked through 1400 people to find
541
,450 --> 00:19:01,137
Beulah Koale: me at the bottom of the world to play this
542
,177 --> 00:19:05,768
Beulah Koale: character for Tosolo Ieti, who I ended up
543
,789 --> 00:19:08,918
Beulah Koale: playing in this film, and it was a real
544
,958 --> 00:19:09,279
Beulah Koale: story.
545
,302 --> 00:19:12,729
Beulah Koale: I feel like I nailed that job because I was
546
,749 --> 00:19:15,134
Beulah Koale: just like I'm going to give it all that I
547
,174 --> 00:19:15,415
Beulah Koale: got.
548
,196 --> 00:19:19,343
Beulah Koale: And Jason had asked Peter Linkoff, who was
549
,230 --> 00:19:21,533
Beulah Koale: the showrunner for 5.0, hey, I'm looking
550
,593 --> 00:19:26,603
Beulah Koale: for a Sam Orton character to play this role.
551
,904 --> 00:19:29,155
Beulah Koale: Do you know anyone in Hawaii that could do
552
,195 --> 00:19:29,376
Beulah Koale: this?
553
,436 --> 00:19:31,481
Beulah Koale: And Peter brought his suggestions.
554
,541 --> 00:19:33,053
Beulah Koale: He didn't end up going with them.
555
,755 --> 00:19:36,944
Beulah Koale: But when Daniel Day, kim and Grace Park had
556
,984 --> 00:19:39,814
Beulah Koale: left the show, peter Linkoff asked Jason
557
,854 --> 00:19:41,538
Beulah Koale: hey, how was that kid that he classed from
558
,578 --> 00:19:42,039
Beulah Koale: New Zealand?
559
,801 --> 00:19:45,158
Beulah Koale: And then Jason told him he's the best
560
,178 --> 00:19:47,026
Beulah Koale: decision they ever made in that entire film,
561
,629 --> 00:19:49,374
Beulah Koale: showed him a trailer of the film before it
562
,394 --> 00:19:52,441
Beulah Koale: was out and Peter Linkoff goes I want that
563
,481 --> 00:19:53,151
Beulah Koale: kid on my show.
564
,975 --> 00:19:54,839
Beulah Koale: And that's how it went.
565
,211 --> 00:19:56,803
Marc Preston: I honestly it was and I'm not just saying
566
,823 --> 00:19:57,810
Marc Preston: this because you hear I was talking to my
567
,930 --> 00:19:58,432
Marc Preston: daughter about it.
568
,453 --> 00:20:00,240
Marc Preston: I was like man, you just.
569
,260 --> 00:20:02,268
Marc Preston: It created a whole new dynamic of a
570
,328 --> 00:20:04,980
Marc Preston: storyline for the show, which I think got
571
,000 --> 00:20:05,763
Marc Preston: to give it a new dimension.
572
,803 --> 00:20:07,773
Marc Preston: And it's tough, it's really tough when you
573
,813 --> 00:20:09,685
Marc Preston: recast a procedural like that because you
574
,705 --> 00:20:10,871
Marc Preston: don't know how people are going to receive
575
,931 --> 00:20:12,996
Marc Preston: it, but you speak to Miles Teller.
576
,259 --> 00:20:15,381
Marc Preston: That's one movie I've yet to see.
577
,402 --> 00:20:17,375
Marc Preston: I'm looking forward to Top Gun, by the way,
578
,615 --> 00:20:19,674
Marc Preston: yeah, yeah, seeing how he does that.
579
,854 --> 00:20:21,620
Marc Preston: But kind of going back, when you're coming
580
,721 --> 00:20:25,354
Marc Preston: up, did you come from a theatrical family?
581
,534 --> 00:20:29,978
Beulah Koale: Were they actors or no, no one from where I
582
,018 --> 00:20:32,125
Beulah Koale: grew up and like every dream would be
583
,165 --> 00:20:33,007
Beulah Koale: coming in after.
584
,067 --> 00:20:35,526
Beulah Koale: Like you're just trying to survive, you're
585
,669 --> 00:20:38,416
Beulah Koale: just trying to make you know, you're just
586
,559 --> 00:20:40,874
Beulah Koale: trying to get money for the next day to
587
,515 --> 00:20:43,139
Beulah Koale: have some dinner, to have some lunch money.
588
,179 --> 00:20:46,774
Beulah Koale: Like I grew up very poor but I didn't know
589
,794 --> 00:20:50,161
Beulah Koale: I was poor until you know I became an adult.
590
,401 --> 00:20:54,036
Beulah Koale: Like the last 50 bucks I had to my name I
591
,256 --> 00:20:58,806
Beulah Koale: use, for usually I had $50 or 100 bucks to
592
,668 --> 00:21:01,492
Beulah Koale: pay for food for me and my girlfriend he's
593
,512 --> 00:21:07,242
Beulah Koale: my wife at the time and I use that 50 bucks
594
,523 --> 00:21:09,112
Beulah Koale: to do this audition for Thank you For your
595
,152 --> 00:21:11,558
Beulah Koale: Service, not because I wanted to get the
596
,598 --> 00:21:13,872
Beulah Koale: role, but because I just wanted to let out
597
,912 --> 00:21:16,517
Beulah Koale: this anger that I had in my life during
598
,557 --> 00:21:17,800
Beulah Koale: that specific week.
599
,722 --> 00:21:21,876
Beulah Koale: Like I had some really crap stuff happening.
600
,897 --> 00:21:23,160
Beulah Koale: I was like I'm just going to use this
601
,220 --> 00:21:26,096
Beulah Koale: audition to let out the anger and I'm not
602
,116 --> 00:21:27,058
Beulah Koale: going to eat for the weekend.
603
,098 --> 00:21:28,662
Beulah Koale: I don't care, this is perfect.
604
,073 --> 00:21:31,256
Marc Preston: And that's a great thing about acting
605
,296 --> 00:21:32,359
Marc Preston: People don't really realize it could be
606
,479 --> 00:21:36,075
Marc Preston: really cathartic, you know, and it's like
607
,135 --> 00:21:40,123
Marc Preston: you can really let things out and every
608
,163 --> 00:21:40,944
Marc Preston: character comes from.
609
,171 --> 00:21:43,257
Marc Preston: At least some nugget has to come from you
610
,297 --> 00:21:46,918
Marc Preston: at some level, you know you're speaking.
611
,938 --> 00:21:48,704
Beulah Koale: You're taking the words right out of my
612
,745 --> 00:21:50,731
Beulah Koale: mouth, man, because I didn't go to school
613
,751 --> 00:21:53,036
Beulah Koale: to become an actor, like I've done that.
614
,136 --> 00:21:56,931
Beulah Koale: Yet Like I played rugby in school and I was
615
,971 --> 00:21:59,302
Beulah Koale: very, very good at it, I could have gone
616
,362 --> 00:21:59,884
Beulah Koale: that path.
617
,025 --> 00:22:02,132
Beulah Koale: And I was the vice captain for the top
618
,152 --> 00:22:03,796
Beulah Koale: rugby team of my school.
619
,899 --> 00:22:06,743
Beulah Koale: And the last year of high school my school
620
,763 --> 00:22:08,093
Beulah Koale: didn't have a drama department.
621
,734 --> 00:22:10,638

,133 --> 00:22:20,596
Beulah Koale: this thing.
626
,978 --> 00:22:21,923
Beulah Koale: And I was like what do you do?
627
,164 --> 00:22:23,611
Beulah Koale: Because you just stand there and pretend to
628
,651 --> 00:22:24,493
Beulah Koale: be something you're not.
629
,513 --> 00:22:27,621

636
,142 --> 00:22:42,844
Beulah Koale: practitioners.
637
,924 --> 00:22:46,053

Beulah Koale: She goes why do you play rugby?
640
,942 --> 00:22:51,493
Beulah Koale: And I said to let out anger.
641
,974 --> 00:22:54,681
Beulah Koale: You know, it's a legal way for me to let
642
,701 --> 00:22:56,672
Beulah Koale: out my frustrations either hurt someone or
643
,712 --> 00:22:57,474

644
,976 --> 00:23:00,602

646
,461 --> 00:23:08,068

648
,456 --> 00:23:11,860
Beulah Koale: asking that question and I was very
649
,921 --> 00:23:13,773
Beulah Koale: interested in like how do you do that?
650
,155 --> 00:23:18,702
Beulah Koale: And like I still asked that question to the
651
,722 --> 00:23:20,953

652
,013 --> 00:23:21,233

Marc Preston: you, just you, you got to bring you.
662
,930 --> 00:23:44,973
Marc Preston: It's got to be real, it's got to be
663
,013 --> 00:23:45,374
Marc Preston: authentic.
664
,434 --> 00:23:47,921
Marc Preston: And and the more experiences you have in
665
,981 --> 00:23:49,634
Marc Preston: life, the more people you know, the more
666
,694 --> 00:23:50,958
Marc Preston: ups and downs you've had, the better I
667
,998 --> 00:23:51,520
Marc Preston: think you are.
668
,671 --> 00:23:53,503
Marc Preston: As an actor, you know, and you mentioned
669
,523 --> 00:23:54,529
Marc Preston: the thing about letting it out and one of
670
,550 --> 00:23:57,577
Marc Preston: the things I love culturally and as
671
,677 --> 00:23:59,501
Marc Preston: visually and aesthetically is the Haka
672
,541 --> 00:23:59,862
Marc Preston: dance.
673
,023 --> 00:24:01,074
Marc Preston: Haka, am I saying that right?
674
,094 --> 00:24:01,395

,650 --> 00:24:04,951
Marc Preston: And it's just.

Marc Preston: It seems like it's just a real, like the.
678
,106 --> 00:24:10,551
Marc Preston: It seems like you're letting something out
679
,571 --> 00:24:12,259
Marc Preston: and you're connecting to say I always the
680
,299 --> 00:24:12,841
Marc Preston: passion of it.
681
,861 --> 00:24:16,394
Marc Preston: Man, I really like I've seen some rugby
682
,414 --> 00:24:17,376
Marc Preston: team didn't that kind of thing.
683
,396 --> 00:24:18,720
Marc Preston: A lot of rugby teams have their own things.
684
,770 --> 00:24:22,320
Beulah Koale: Yeah, yeah, it's more like a challenge than
685
,381 --> 00:24:24,289
Beulah Koale: a dance, so like so, back in the days in
686
,309 --> 00:24:27,237
Beulah Koale: Maori culture, or most Polynesian cultures
687
,298 --> 00:24:31,269
Beulah Koale: as well, you would use it to rile up a game
688
,349 --> 00:24:33,117
Beulah Koale: or win two tries and fighting against each
689
,157 --> 00:24:35,507
Beulah Koale: other, and it was a challenge.
690
,547 --> 00:24:38,316
Beulah Koale: But now it's more of a use it as a sign of
691
,376 --> 00:24:38,858
Beulah Koale: respect.
692
,981 --> 00:24:40,583
Beulah Koale: The same thing.
693
,603 --> 00:24:42,929
Beulah Koale: You offer a challenge and the opposition
694
,009 --> 00:24:44,052
Beulah Koale: are they accepted or not?
695
,481 --> 00:24:47,889
Beulah Koale: We do it before we go to war and yeah, it's
696
,990 --> 00:24:54,610
Beulah Koale: very visceral, it's very, every sense and
697
,671 --> 00:24:56,239
Beulah Koale: you is heightened.
698
,259 --> 00:24:56,320
Beulah Koale: And.
699
,121 --> 00:24:59,366
Beulah Koale: But every time you do a hockey, you know
700
,406 --> 00:25:01,049
Beulah Koale: what you're saying, you know where it's
701
,089 --> 00:25:03,194
Beulah Koale: from, you know when it's connected to you.
702
,422 --> 00:25:06,331
Marc Preston: It takes something out of you that doesn't
703
,402 --> 00:25:08,204
Marc Preston: kind of bind you as a team a little bit
704
,275 --> 00:25:10,347
Marc Preston: more on my, I imagine like when you're with
705
,418 --> 00:25:12,652
Marc Preston: you know it's like you, like you become
706
,672 --> 00:25:13,253
Marc Preston: more of a unit.
707
,493 --> 00:25:16,142
Announcer: I think probably right Now.

Marc Preston: know, I think that's a real common theme,
730
,167 --> 00:26:04,372
Marc Preston: myself included, and I noticed that other
731
,472 --> 00:26:07,064
Marc Preston: actors Because you had to kind of, if you
732
,084 --> 00:26:08,728
Marc Preston: had an early stage in life, had to kind of
733
,748 --> 00:26:11,173
Marc Preston: carve out your own space and figure it out.
734
,901 --> 00:26:13,526
Marc Preston: That's at some level, I think that's.
735
,626 --> 00:26:15,512
Marc Preston: There's so many people who who are actors
736
,552 --> 00:26:17,498
Marc Preston: are great actors that came from a very
737
,538 --> 00:26:18,080
Marc Preston: similar background.
738
,822 --> 00:26:20,468
Marc Preston: I imagine it's kind of like I gave you fuel
739
,628 --> 00:26:22,374
Marc Preston: at the outset and gave you skills that you
740
,775 --> 00:26:24,541
Marc Preston: it was a rough go at the early stages, but
741
,561 --> 00:26:26,394
Marc Preston: you can apply that right now in your
742
,434 --> 00:26:26,917
Marc Preston: vocation.
743
,118 --> 00:26:29,784
Beulah Koale: You know, yeah, I'm it definitely.
744
,845 --> 00:26:33,006
Beulah Koale: Like I'm pretty fearless, like I consider
745
,026 --> 00:26:37,603
Beulah Koale: myself a fearless person because, like,
746
,663 --> 00:26:40,114
Beulah Koale: every time life happens and life does its
747
,175 --> 00:26:42,926
Beulah Koale: thing, that life always does, I always just
748
,966 --> 00:26:45,535
Beulah Koale: tell myself I'm like, okay, this is a cool
749
,575 --> 00:26:46,298
Beulah Koale: little challenge.
750
,759 --> 00:26:48,906
Beulah Koale: All right, this is, you're either gonna
751
,966 --> 00:26:52,506
Beulah Koale: fold and give up or you're gonna grind it
752
,626 --> 00:26:54,171
Beulah Koale: out because the light is right there.
753
,352 --> 00:26:56,438
Beulah Koale: And I've had that mindset since, you know,
754
,539 --> 00:26:59,888
Beulah Koale: as a kid, just because of life you know the
755
,908 --> 00:27:01,011
Beulah Koale: cars that I was dealt with.
756
,432 --> 00:27:04,349
Beulah Koale: So, in terms of like, when I bring it back
757
,369 --> 00:27:06,459
Beulah Koale: to my craft, like when they asked me to do
758
,479 --> 00:27:08,584
Beulah Koale: something, I'm like, dude, this is, this is
759
,804 --> 00:27:09,726
Beulah Koale: easy, yeah.
760
,766 --> 00:27:11,470
Marc Preston: I mean, wasn't there a whole storyline in
761
,490 --> 00:27:12,111
Marc Preston: Hawaii 5.?
762
,171 --> 00:27:13,413
Marc Preston: Oh, I think your relationship to your
763
,474 --> 00:27:15,965
Marc Preston: father, yeah, I thought they're gonna tell
764
,005 --> 00:27:16,406
Marc Preston: my life.
765
,587 --> 00:27:16,908
Marc Preston: I was like what?
766
,928 --> 00:27:17,811
Beulah Koale: are you guys trying to do?
767
,831 --> 00:27:18,051
Beulah Koale: Man?
768
,602 --> 00:27:21,027
Beulah Koale: You know, I was like who did I tell the
769
,068 --> 00:27:21,449
Beulah Koale: story to?
770
,469 --> 00:27:23,136
Beulah Koale: Because I don't usually talk to a lot of
771
,176 --> 00:27:23,497
Beulah Koale: people.
772
,020 --> 00:27:25,827
Beulah Koale: But what now?
773
,887 --> 00:27:30,026
Beulah Koale: I do and yeah, yeah, they definitely
774
,086 --> 00:27:32,412
Beulah Koale: touched a lot of that stuff and it was very
775
,712 --> 00:27:36,104
Beulah Koale: easy for me to tap into as an actor and I
776
,164 --> 00:27:38,233
Beulah Koale: remember the directors of set me like dude,
777
,354 --> 00:27:39,760
Beulah Koale: like is that connected something?
778
,060 --> 00:27:41,824
Beulah Koale: I was connected to something really real,
779
,864 --> 00:27:43,788
Beulah Koale: but he said, sit back and enjoy.
780
,289 --> 00:27:45,913
Marc Preston: So the writers, did they ever come to you
781
,953 --> 00:27:48,185
Marc Preston: and say, hey, do you have any thoughts and
782
,245 --> 00:27:50,775
Marc Preston: kind of the story of your of junior,
783
,378 --> 00:27:51,900
Marc Preston: anything like that?
784
,722 --> 00:27:54,668
Beulah Koale: So by the time I got there, everything was
785
,708 --> 00:27:56,072
Beulah Koale: kind of well established.
786
,533 --> 00:27:58,840
Beulah Koale: You know, like I think I came in year 7 and
787
,721 --> 00:28:01,044
Beulah Koale: you know, I think you're always a little
788
,084 --> 00:28:03,490
Beulah Koale: bit comfortable and writers never came on
789
,510 --> 00:28:04,393
Beulah Koale: to sit anymore.
790
,061 --> 00:28:08,272
Beulah Koale: So after my first year I flew out to LA and
791
,312 --> 00:28:10,378
Beulah Koale: I flew to the studio and I wanted to meet
792
,418 --> 00:28:10,860
Beulah Koale: the writers.
793
,000 --> 00:28:13,490
Beulah Koale: Like I forced myself into that room and I
794
,811 --> 00:28:15,758
Beulah Koale: told them was like I want you guys to know
795
,858 --> 00:28:16,019
Beulah Koale: me.
796
,039 --> 00:28:18,909
Beulah Koale: And I just sat there in their little
797
,949 --> 00:28:21,058
Beulah Koale: boardroom and I told them who I am, where
798
,079 --> 00:28:21,360
Beulah Koale: I'm from.

819
,318 --> 00:28:58,820

Marc Preston: we're still trying to put her head around
831
,205 --> 00:29:22,291
Marc Preston: what it seemed to have a very definitive
832
,712 --> 00:29:25,200
Marc Preston: tone, like there was a tone, like you know,
833
,562 --> 00:29:26,767
Marc Preston: and I was telling her I was like, listen,
834
,787 --> 00:29:29,419
Marc Preston: I'm very familiar with you, I know Aaron
835
,459 --> 00:29:32,286
Marc Preston: Paul, I know his vibe and everybody was
836
,346 --> 00:29:33,809
Marc Preston: kind of in this beat, this vibe, this
837
,929 --> 00:29:34,551
Marc Preston: almost this way.
838
,591 --> 00:29:37,383
Marc Preston: The lines were being delivered and I don't
839
,403 --> 00:29:39,642
Marc Preston: want to give anything away and the movie,
840
,682 --> 00:29:41,626
Marc Preston: but was there, did you feel that this,
841
,746 --> 00:29:44,531
Marc Preston: there was a tone that was being shot, that
842
,611 --> 00:29:46,134
Marc Preston: the director was going for.
843
,981 --> 00:29:51,626
Beulah Koale: Yeah, riley Stern, the director and writer
844
,666 --> 00:29:52,328
Beulah Koale: of this film.
845
,669 --> 00:29:56,790
Beulah Koale: He's His flavor is that every, every film
846
,850 --> 00:29:58,937
Beulah Koale: that you'll watch from now on, or most
847
,957 --> 00:30:01,623
Beulah Koale: films that you watch from now on, you will
848
,663 --> 00:30:03,385
Beulah Koale: know exactly who it belongs to.
849
,445 --> 00:30:06,090
Beulah Koale: Because if that's his easy as a stylistic
850
,130 --> 00:30:08,914
Beulah Koale: way of shooting and delivering lines and
851
,035 --> 00:30:12,003
Beulah Koale: writing certain lines, and that's what I
852
,063 --> 00:30:14,915
Beulah Koale: was interested in when, when I was put
853
,975 --> 00:30:18,024
Beulah Koale: forth the script from my team, I was, I
854
,064 --> 00:30:19,647
Beulah Koale: watched this stuff and I was like I want to
855
,667 --> 00:30:22,473
Beulah Koale: work with this because I'm I'm shit-scared
856
,554 --> 00:30:25,668
Beulah Koale: of Comedy and sci-fi, like I don't know
857
,688 --> 00:30:27,654
Beulah Koale: that world, and I've always had a rule for
858
,714 --> 00:30:29,962
Beulah Koale: myself that if I'm scared of something it
859
,002 --> 00:30:31,508
Beulah Koale: means I have to run towards it.
860
,161 --> 00:30:34,726
Beulah Koale: So I was very scared of comedy because I
861
,766 --> 00:30:35,668
Beulah Koale: couldn't figure it out.
862
,728 --> 00:30:37,833
Beulah Koale: So I was like, well, I guess I have to do
863
,893 --> 00:30:41,828
Beulah Koale: this and but Riley Stern's type of comedy
864
,868 --> 00:30:45,304
Beulah Koale: is very dark, very dark, black-toned humor.
865
,584 --> 00:30:47,528
Beulah Koale: And it was awesome from an acting
866
,608 --> 00:30:51,776
Beulah Koale: perspective because I was so comfortable in
867
,741 --> 00:30:56,991
Beulah Koale: TV world where you kind of learn bad habits,
868
,272 --> 00:30:59,905
Beulah Koale: where you learn certain tricks, you know,
869
,005 --> 00:31:03,861
Beulah Koale: and when you jump on a Riley Stern film he
870
,902 --> 00:31:06,248
Beulah Koale: kind of pulls it all back and I love that
871
,268 --> 00:31:07,912
Beulah Koale: because I come from a theater background
872
,960 --> 00:31:10,126
Beulah Koale: when I first started acting and it was all
873
,166 --> 00:31:12,913
Beulah Koale: about stripping back away the rubbish and
874
,362 --> 00:31:16,525
Beulah Koale: it was almost me Me having to get out of my
875
,585 --> 00:31:18,630
Beulah Koale: own way and just you, just tell me, just
876
,650 --> 00:31:19,212
Beulah Koale: say the words.
877
,081 --> 00:31:21,544
Marc Preston: That's the my favorite phrase getting out
878
,565 --> 00:31:22,186
Marc Preston: of your own way.
879
,286 --> 00:31:23,269
Marc Preston: For me, that is acting.
880
,309 --> 00:31:23,970
Marc Preston: Is this you got to get?
881
,291 --> 00:31:25,783
Marc Preston: It'll happen, it'll bubble up, and I mean
882
,803 --> 00:31:26,304
Marc Preston: this movie.
883
,785 --> 00:31:30,743
Marc Preston: I was trying to articulate After the movie
884
Unique Movie Experience With Aaron Paul
,804 --> 00:31:31,526
Marc Preston: ended last night.
885
,948 --> 00:31:33,935
Marc Preston: We were watching the screener and ever like
886
,336 --> 00:31:35,360
Marc Preston: how do I define this movie?
887
,982 --> 00:31:37,107
Marc Preston: And I was sitting there thinking it's like
888
,147 --> 00:31:38,914
Marc Preston: Twin Peaks meets Hunger Games meets
889
,974 --> 00:31:40,921
Marc Preston: Frankenstein, kind of in a way, it's like
890
,102 --> 00:31:43,951
Marc Preston: it's like it's just different and and it's
891
,862 --> 00:31:46,469
Marc Preston: and isn't it great because you watch you?
892
,890 --> 00:31:48,557
Marc Preston: know you how many times you watch a movie
893
,598 --> 00:31:49,140
Marc Preston: trailer and you go.
894
,962 --> 00:31:51,186
Marc Preston: I pretty much know the beginning, middle
895
,206 --> 00:31:52,089
Marc Preston: and end of this movie.
896
,169 --> 00:31:52,791
Marc Preston: It's a rom-com.
897
,622 --> 00:31:54,685
Marc Preston: Isn't it great when you watch something
898
,725 --> 00:31:57,151
Marc Preston: like I have no clue where it's going, and
899
,271 --> 00:31:59,837
Marc Preston: even even your character as you step in the
900
,880 --> 00:32:01,524
Marc Preston: Relationship, I mean, I don't give anything
901
,564 --> 00:32:03,468
Marc Preston: away, but how the relationship shifts.
902
,249 --> 00:32:06,213
Marc Preston: And how long of a shoot was it.
903
,601 --> 00:32:08,624
Beulah Koale: I think it's just.
904
,965 --> 00:32:10,690
Beulah Koale: It wasn't too long, man, it was like a
905
,750 --> 00:32:13,237

906
,317 --> 00:32:16,107

Marc Preston: hard on a procedural one.
Speaker:1102
,015 --> 00:38:43,739
Marc Preston: It's been around seven years and you step
Speaker:1103
,879 --> 00:38:46,084
Marc Preston: in and you already have well established
Speaker:1104
,265 --> 00:38:46,886
Marc Preston: relationships.
Speaker:1105
,926 --> 00:38:50,000
Marc Preston: I imagine that could be Tough to step into

,061 --> 00:38:51,567

Speaker:1107
,607 --> 00:38:53,173

,448 --> 00:39:03,722
Beulah Koale: We weren't really Scared of what would
Speaker:1114
,762 --> 00:39:03,963
Beulah Koale: happen.
Speaker:1115
,983 --> 00:39:05,872
Beulah Koale: We're just like no, let's just enjoy this
Speaker:1116

Beulah Koale: for what it is.
Speaker:1117
,656 --> 00:39:09,327
Beulah Koale: You know, I didn't see it as I didn't know
Speaker:1118
,387 --> 00:39:10,090
Beulah Koale: what was going on.
Speaker:1119
,311 --> 00:39:12,379
Beulah Koale: I guess I was just naive, I didn't know
Speaker:1120
,419 --> 00:39:13,704
Beulah Koale: what anything.
Speaker:1121
,764 --> 00:39:15,791
Beulah Koale: I just said, I'm just here to enjoy myself
Speaker:1122
,851 --> 00:39:16,795
Beulah Koale: and and learn.
Speaker:1123
,517 --> 00:39:18,459
Beulah Koale: I'm just an open book.
Speaker:1124
,479 --> 00:39:19,743
Beulah Koale: So you know, I want to learn.
Speaker:1125
,341 --> 00:39:28,363
Marc Preston: Now aren't you on?
Speaker:1126
,784 --> 00:39:30,707

Beulah Koale: and shot a couple of episodes at NCIS.
Speaker:1130
,635 --> 00:39:39,118
Beulah Koale: I didn't get to play in Junior Reigns, but
Speaker:1131
,158 --> 00:39:40,861
Beulah Koale: I played in New Zealand, which was pretty
Speaker:1132
,881 --> 00:39:41,202
Beulah Koale: cool.
Speaker:1133
,465 --> 00:39:43,667
Marc Preston: Really they didn't have you be Junior
Speaker:1134
,687 --> 00:39:45,279
Marc Preston: Reigns Really, because they had so many
Speaker:1135
,299 --> 00:39:46,568
Marc Preston: crossovers with NCIS.
Speaker:1136
,655 --> 00:39:47,920
Marc Preston: I figured that would just be kind of a
Speaker:1137
,422 --> 00:39:50,288
Marc Preston: thing Same same, but yeah.
Speaker:1138
,536 --> 00:39:53,039
Marc Preston: So one more question about Hawaii, probably
Speaker:1139
,240 --> 00:39:55,064
Marc Preston: two more, but one right now favorite
Speaker:1140
,765 --> 00:39:59,041
Marc Preston: Hawaiian snack food man, You've got proper
Speaker:1141
,082 --> 00:39:59,884
Marc Preston: grinds, over there.
Speaker:1142
,924 --> 00:40:01,320
Marc Preston: Man, what did you enjoy eating in Hawaii?
Speaker:1143
,835 --> 00:40:04,804
Beulah Koale: I mean, you can't go past the Spanish Viva.
Speaker:1144
,681 --> 00:40:10,227
Beulah Koale: I was like, oh, this is amazing.
Speaker:1145
,595 --> 00:40:12,180
Beulah Koale: This is a fruit for the gods.
Speaker:1146
,815 --> 00:40:15,259
Marc Preston: It doesn't sound like it would work.
Speaker:1147
,380 --> 00:40:16,764
Marc Preston: But, man, you know there's two ways of
Speaker:1148
,844 --> 00:40:17,145
Marc Preston: eating it.
Speaker:1149
,575 --> 00:40:18,742
Marc Preston: You've been out, you've had a couple
Speaker:1150
,783 --> 00:40:20,252
Marc Preston: beverages the night before and you'd eat a
Speaker:1151
,272 --> 00:40:21,998
Marc Preston: little something in the early afternoon
Speaker:1152
,038 --> 00:40:23,101
Marc Preston: next day, or you're going to go hang on the
Speaker:1153
,141 --> 00:40:25,046
Marc Preston: beach, use one, chill out, have a little
Speaker:1154
,066 --> 00:40:25,507
Marc Preston: snack food.
Speaker:1155
,575 --> 00:40:28,561
Marc Preston: I was talking with Allegra Edwards, who's
Speaker:1156
Discussion About Hawaiian Cuisine
,621 --> 00:40:32,108
Marc Preston: on this show called Upload on Amazon Prime
Speaker:1157
,735 --> 00:40:34,508
Marc Preston: and she had spent some time and I mentioned
Speaker:1158
,569 --> 00:40:35,355
Marc Preston: Spam Musubi.
Speaker:1159
,415 --> 00:40:37,084
Marc Preston: She's like, oh my God, that sounds good
Speaker:1160
,365 --> 00:40:38,632
Marc Preston: because she had lived in Hawaii and
Speaker:1161
,712 --> 00:40:39,997
Marc Preston: everybody that's been there here.
Speaker:1162
,058 --> 00:40:42,606
Marc Preston: Spam Musubi, which freaks people out over
Speaker:1163
,626 --> 00:40:45,439
Marc Preston: here on the mainland, but I'm like it's
Speaker:1164
,459 --> 00:40:48,021
Marc Preston: where it's at and I'm a real snob about it
Speaker:1165
,042 --> 00:40:49,691
Marc Preston: because if I go find a Hawaiian place, we
Speaker:1166
,711 --> 00:40:52,335
Marc Preston: were in Atlanta and I was like it's okay, I
Speaker:1167
,375 --> 00:40:53,660
Marc Preston: like my stand better.
Speaker:1168
,335 --> 00:40:56,501
Marc Preston: Yeah, I mean loco moco, the only spin we
Speaker:1169
,541 --> 00:40:56,902
Marc Preston: did on it.
Speaker:1170
,922 --> 00:40:58,515
Marc Preston: My daughter likes chorizo, so we mixed a
Speaker:1171
,535 --> 00:41:00,099
Marc Preston: little chorizo into the burger meat and you
Speaker:1172
,119 --> 00:41:03,216
Marc Preston: know that's loco moco, but it's it's on the
Speaker:1173
,256 --> 00:41:03,918
Marc Preston: food in Hawaii.
Speaker:1174
,938 --> 00:41:05,223
Marc Preston: It's such a melange man.
Speaker:1175
,335 --> 00:41:06,861
Marc Preston: It's a mixture of everything from multiple
Speaker:1176
,901 --> 00:41:07,303
Marc Preston: cultures.
Speaker:1177
,395 --> 00:41:09,280
Marc Preston: I'm like, dude, I don't know how you didn't
Speaker:1178
,300 --> 00:41:10,604
Marc Preston: gain 50 pounds living there.
Speaker:1179
,664 --> 00:41:11,626
Marc Preston: Man, I would have gone to town.
Speaker:1180
,397 --> 00:41:14,144
Beulah Koale: I kind of did after my first season.
Speaker:1181
,275 --> 00:41:15,037
Beulah Koale: I looked at the.
Speaker:1182
,559 --> 00:41:17,624
Beulah Koale: I looked at the end of the season Bula and
Speaker:1183
,664 --> 00:41:19,016
Beulah Koale: the beginning of the season Bula.
Speaker:1184
,076 --> 00:41:20,402
Beulah Koale: And the end of the season Bula and the
Speaker:1185
,422 --> 00:41:21,306
Beulah Koale: beginning of the season.
Speaker:1186
,386 --> 00:41:22,290
Marc Preston: We're going to call it muscle.
Speaker:1187
,471 --> 00:41:23,435
Marc Preston: We're going to call Hawaiian muscle.
Speaker:1188
,498 --> 00:41:26,143
Beulah Koale: So yeah, I learned my way real quick.
Speaker:1189

,437 --> 00:43:35,680
Marc Preston: Man, I got to be honest, you're
Speaker:1253
,700 --> 00:43:36,703
Marc Preston: invigorating me a little bit, you're
Speaker:1254
,723 --> 00:43:38,727
Marc Preston: reminding me, man, you're not going to a
Speaker:1255
,848 --> 00:43:39,454
Marc Preston: few years on, you.
Speaker:1256
,615 --> 00:43:40,698
Marc Preston: But I remember when I was younger, I was
Speaker:1257
,738 --> 00:43:43,344
Marc Preston: like I did the same thing, man.
Speaker:1258
,364 --> 00:43:43,945
Marc Preston: I had a shortlist.
Speaker:1259
,965 --> 00:43:44,586
Marc Preston: What do I want to do?
Speaker:1260
,335 --> 00:43:46,182
Marc Preston: Well, I didn't maybe even have a reason why.
Speaker:1261
,202 --> 00:43:47,875
Marc Preston: I just felt right, I went by intuition.
Speaker:1262
,196 --> 00:43:49,118
Marc Preston: What do I want to do?
Speaker:1263
,780 --> 00:43:51,224
Marc Preston: What do I want to learn, you know?
Speaker:1264
,895 --> 00:43:54,123
Marc Preston: So now I'm like okay, got to remind myself.
Speaker:1265
,098 --> 00:43:56,722
Marc Preston: I got to get my bucket list filled back up.
Speaker:1266
,123 --> 00:44:00,423
Beulah Koale: Yeah, I always I taught myself this is a
Speaker:1267
,463 --> 00:44:01,868
Beulah Koale: certain.
Speaker:1268
,069 --> 00:44:03,494
Beulah Koale: But I wrote it in a theater show and I
Speaker:1269
,574 --> 00:44:08,003
Beulah Koale: traveled with a route and I said you never
Speaker:1270
,664 --> 00:44:08,984
Beulah Koale: there's.
Speaker:1271
,566 --> 00:44:11,469
Beulah Koale: You know, don't lose the boy, that's with
Speaker:1272
,956 --> 00:44:15,072
Beulah Koale: him, because the older boy, the man, will
Speaker:1273
,092 --> 00:44:15,735
Beulah Koale: always be there.
Speaker:1274
,795 --> 00:44:18,062
Beulah Koale: But a man is just an older boy who knows
Speaker:1275
,142 --> 00:44:18,664
Beulah Koale: more things.
Speaker:1276
,235 --> 00:44:21,042
Beulah Koale: And I always, I've always told myself don't
Speaker:1277
,102 --> 00:44:22,838
Beulah Koale: lose the boy, Don't lose the kid, because
Speaker:1278
,858 --> 00:44:26,146
Beulah Koale: that kid is, that's the special kid there.
Speaker:1279
,535 --> 00:44:27,799
Marc Preston: Now you said directing is something you
Speaker:1280
,819 --> 00:44:28,221
Marc Preston: want to do.
Speaker:1281
,281 --> 00:44:29,144
Marc Preston: That begs the question.
Speaker:1282
,515 --> 00:44:30,339
Marc Preston: Now, here you are watching.
Speaker:1283
,359 --> 00:44:31,282
Marc Preston: I know Alex O'Loughlin.
Speaker:1284
,495 --> 00:44:33,301
Marc Preston: He directed at least a couple episodes of
Speaker:1285
,361 --> 00:44:35,378
Marc Preston: Hawaii 5.0, I think what's it like to be
Speaker:1286
,398 --> 00:44:37,512
Marc Preston: directed by somebody that you're actually
Speaker:1287
,572 --> 00:44:39,078
Marc Preston: acting with and they give them the reins of
Speaker:1288
,640 --> 00:44:40,182
Marc Preston: an episode?
Speaker:1289
,222 --> 00:44:40,703
Marc Preston: What's that like?
Speaker:1290
,877 --> 00:44:43,583
Beulah Koale: It was awesome because he's my best mate.
Speaker:1291
,935 --> 00:44:45,661
Beulah Koale: But like, if you look back on those
Speaker:1292
,701 --> 00:44:49,232
Beulah Koale: episodes, I was heavily in those episodes
Speaker:1293
,754 --> 00:44:52,181
Beulah Koale: and that was on request because he knows
Speaker:1294
,462 --> 00:44:53,084
Beulah Koale: I'm his God.
Speaker:1295
,655 --> 00:44:56,838
Beulah Koale: Like I got married, I came to New Zealand,
Speaker:1296
,878 --> 00:45:00,026
Beulah Koale: got married and I told production at an
Speaker:1297
,086 --> 00:45:01,419
Beulah Koale: advanced I'm getting married during this
Speaker:1298
,479 --> 00:45:01,700
Beulah Koale: time.
Speaker:1299
,155 --> 00:45:03,340
Beulah Koale: I need a couple of weeks off.
Speaker:1300
,595 --> 00:45:07,581
Beulah Koale: And then Al, the Rickston episode.
Speaker:1301
,641 --> 00:45:10,307
Beulah Koale: Like the week after I get married and I had
Speaker:1302
,327 --> 00:45:12,097
Beulah Koale: to fly from New Zealand and they're like
Speaker:1303
,819 --> 00:45:14,022
Beulah Koale: I'm like man, I had to.
Speaker:1304
,383 --> 00:45:15,466
Beulah Koale: I just got married, bro.
Speaker:1305
,615 --> 00:45:17,319
Beulah Koale: So I got married the day after I got

,359 --> 00:45:20,806
Beulah Koale: married, I fly to Hawaii to shoot Al's
Speaker:1307
,846 --> 00:45:23,260
Beulah Koale: episode because that's how much I love this
Speaker:1308
,300 --> 00:45:23,501
Beulah Koale: guy.
Speaker:1309
,996 --> 00:45:27,184
Beulah Koale: Like that's my, that's my guy for life.
Speaker:1310
,115 --> 00:45:29,820
Beulah Koale: I think he always asked for me because he
Speaker:1311
,860 --> 00:45:31,806
Beulah Koale: knows I'll run through a brick wall for him
Speaker:1312
,235 --> 00:45:32,959
Beulah Koale: and vice versa.
Speaker:1313
,399 --> 00:45:36,128
Marc Preston: Well, that's, I mean I know, speaking of
Speaker:1314
,148 --> 00:45:37,174
Marc Preston: running through a brick wall, I kind of
Speaker:1315
,194 --> 00:45:38,801
Marc Preston: heard that he did so much and it was so
Speaker:1316
,841 --> 00:45:39,122
Marc Preston: physical.
Speaker:1317
,195 --> 00:45:40,418
Marc Preston: I think he had to kind of take a little bit
Speaker:1318
,438 --> 00:45:44,246
Marc Preston: of a break because yeah, I don't know how
Speaker:1319
,266 --> 00:45:45,088

Beulah Koale
Actor
Beulah Koale made his Hollywood film debut as a lead in Universal/DreamWorks’ THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, which opened wide in October 2017. Directed by Jason Hall (AMERICAN SNIPER), Koale stars opposite Miles Teller in the war drama about a group of U.S. soldiers returning from Iraq struggling to integrate back into family and civilian life, while living with the memory of a war that threatens to destroy them long after they left the battlefield. Koale portrays ‘Solo,’ based on the real-life soldier Tausolo ‘Solo’ Aieti, who saved two comrades in Iraq but struggled to cope with the death of a third who died in combat.
Next up, Koale stars opposite Aaron Paul and Karen Gillian in the thriller film DUAL. RLJE Films will be releasing the film in theaters on April 15th and it will be available on digital, on demand and streaming on AMC+ on May 20th. Upcoming, he will also star in Taika Waititi’s comedy NEXT GOAL WINS, based on the 2014 documentary of the same name.
Previously, he could be seen in the action horror film SHADOW IN THE CLOUD. He starred in the tenth season of CBS’ hit show “Hawaii Five-0,” opposite Alex O’Loughlin; Koale played ‘Junior Reigns,’ a former Navy SEAL who just returned from serving his country hoping to repurpose his skills as a member of Five-0, who was first introduced in 2017 during the eighth season. The show aired its final episode on April 3, 2020.
Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand, Koale, who is of Samoan descent, regularly performed in church productions before becoming associated with Massive Company, a professional contemporary physical theatre ensemble group in which he performed in the acclaimed productions of Havoc in the Garden and The Brave. Prior to landing his first major studio film role, Koale worked locally in New Zealand starring in Tusi Tamasese’s critically-acclaimed ONE THOUSAND ROPES, and appeared on the television series “Shortland Street” and “Harry.”
