Marc Preston: You don't know what to expect with him, but

193

00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,601

Marc Preston: he was as chill as could possibly be and I

194

00:06:16,621 --> 00:06:17,465

Marc Preston: really enjoyed the chat.

195

00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,225

00:06:20,245 --> 00:06:20,526

Marc Preston: where are you?

197

00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,731

203

00:06:32,078 --> 00:06:34,765

Billy Magnussen: I moved to New York and had been like based

204

00:06:34,825 --> 00:06:37,651

Billy Magnussen: in New York till about 2018.

205

00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,845

Billy Magnussen: Like here and there would fly out for a job

206

00:06:40,885 --> 00:06:42,810

Billy Magnussen: if I got it, very fortunately, you know.

207

00:06:43,873 --> 00:06:46,928

Billy Magnussen: But after 2018, I kind of haven't lived to

208

00:06:47,069 --> 00:06:48,031

Billy Magnussen: anywhere, sadly.

209

00:06:48,542 --> 00:06:49,546

Billy Magnussen: I've been all over the place.

210

00:06:50,441 --> 00:06:56,131

211

00:06:57,202 --> 00:06:59,269

Billy Magnussen: It's man, this life gets tough after a

212

00:06:59,309 --> 00:06:59,530

Billy Magnussen: while.

213

00:06:59,640 --> 00:06:59,881

Billy Magnussen: You know.

214

00:06:59,901 --> 00:07:01,809

Billy Magnussen: you want, you want to build roots somewhere

215

00:07:01,910 --> 00:07:04,801

Billy Magnussen: and yeah these past five years have been

216

00:07:05,503 --> 00:07:07,690

Billy Magnussen: challenging for me because I haven't found

217

00:07:07,730 --> 00:07:10,326

Billy Magnussen: a home and I'm really I'm missing.

218

00:07:10,406 --> 00:07:12,271

Billy Magnussen: I need it, especially as an older man.

219

00:07:12,311 --> 00:07:14,044

Billy Magnussen: Now it's like I want that shit.

220

00:07:14,325 --> 00:07:15,188

Marc Preston: Yeah, it's, it's.

221

00:07:15,248 --> 00:07:15,810

Marc Preston: It's funny.

222

00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,985

Marc Preston: I was talking with a friend of mine who

223

00:07:18,045 --> 00:07:19,549

Marc Preston: travels a lot for work and he'd be gone.

224

00:07:19,609 --> 00:07:22,105

Marc Preston: I don't know, I'm two, three days out of

225

00:07:22,125 --> 00:07:24,948

Marc Preston: the week and I'm like I just go into

226

00:07:24,968 --> 00:07:25,551

Marc Preston: different places.

227

00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:27,220

Marc Preston: Sounds like a lot of fun being, especially

228

00:07:27,260 --> 00:07:29,747

Marc Preston: if you're an actor, being able to go a

229

00:07:29,767 --> 00:07:30,249

Marc Preston: different place.

230

00:07:30,289 --> 00:07:31,583

Marc Preston: After a while, though, he's like man, I

231

00:07:31,623 --> 00:07:32,991

Marc Preston: just want to be in my own bed more.

232

00:07:33,012 --> 00:07:34,600

Marc Preston: You know, and I guess that's something is

233

00:07:34,941 --> 00:07:36,165

Marc Preston: if you're in your early twenties, it's a

234

00:07:36,185 --> 00:07:37,549

Marc Preston: whole different game, you know?

235

00:07:38,251 --> 00:07:41,001

Billy Magnussen: yeah, it was it was, it was exciting, it

Billy Magnussen: was.

237

00:07:41,202 --> 00:07:42,767

Billy Magnussen: I think, you know, as men, we go through

238

00:07:42,808 --> 00:07:46,059

Billy Magnussen: these stages in life as like ironically

239

00:07:46,139 --> 00:07:48,828

Billy Magnussen: infants to we have stages and as men, I

240

00:07:48,868 --> 00:07:51,236

00:07:51,457 --> 00:07:53,643

Billy Magnussen: are that adventure or that explorer and

242

00:07:53,664 --> 00:07:56,040

Billy Magnussen: Hungary and that was an intense, intense

255

00:08:23,607 --> 00:08:26,154

Billy Magnussen: experience, but very, very enriching and

256

00:08:27,517 --> 00:08:30,387

Billy Magnussen: fulfilling as a as a performer and artist.

257

00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,243

Billy Magnussen: It really meant something.

258

00:08:32,424 --> 00:08:34,608

Billy Magnussen: You know, I was in another interview

261

00:08:42,370 --> 00:08:43,914

Marc Preston: about the film, but there were different

268

00:08:54,113 --> 00:08:54,557

Marc Preston: stages.

269

00:08:54,577 --> 00:08:55,804

Marc Preston: You know we're doing different decades.

Marc Preston: Hats off to the, you know here at the uh

273

00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,141

Marc Preston: makeup department on that one, or you know,

274

00:09:03,262 --> 00:09:05,766

Marc Preston: ben, ben, ben lost it all that way.

275

00:09:05,846 --> 00:09:07,809

Billy Magnussen: He did it Really, he did it Wow.

Marc Preston: Yeah.

277

00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:11,807

Billy Magnussen: And honestly and in such I don't want to

278

00:09:11,827 --> 00:09:13,359

Billy Magnussen: speak for him, but he I've heard him say

279

00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:18,309

Billy Magnussen: this that it was out of respect, like to to

280

00:09:18,810 --> 00:09:20,774

Billy Magnussen: really tell the story, to feel the same,

281

00:09:21,420 --> 00:09:24,307

Billy Magnussen: similar similarities, you know, of starving

282

00:09:24,387 --> 00:09:26,511

Billy Magnussen: and, like you know, fighting for your life.

283

00:09:26,652 --> 00:09:30,508

Billy Magnussen: Weirdly, um, yeah, he's a great guy, but

284

00:09:30,608 --> 00:09:32,233

Billy Magnussen: like shooting the film with him, we shot

285

00:09:32,253 --> 00:09:34,442

Billy Magnussen: for a month and it wasn't till we were

286

00:09:34,462 --> 00:09:36,755

Billy Magnussen: finally shooting he started eating again.

287

00:09:36,875 --> 00:09:38,542

Billy Magnussen: We sat down for a dinner and had a drink

288

00:09:38,562 --> 00:09:40,840

Billy Magnussen: and it was like finally wonderful to meet

289

00:09:41,341 --> 00:09:42,405

Billy Magnussen: Ben, you know.

290

00:09:42,678 --> 00:09:44,684

Marc Preston: Yeah, yeah, I think some of the

291

00:09:44,704 --> 00:09:46,339

Marc Preston: interactions between y'all and again, I

292

00:09:46,359 --> 00:09:47,691

Marc Preston: like to be really careful not to give

293

00:09:47,751 --> 00:09:48,988

Marc Preston: spoilers because then that's the biggest

294

00:09:49,050 --> 00:09:49,375

Marc Preston: irritant.

295

00:09:49,456 --> 00:09:50,735

Marc Preston: You know, you hear interviews like, oh well,

296

00:09:50,796 --> 00:09:52,490

Marc Preston: I've kind of reverse engineered a big chunk

297

00:09:52,530 --> 00:09:53,600

Marc Preston: of this movie now and I've heard the

298

00:09:53,621 --> 00:09:53,904

Marc Preston: interview.

299

00:09:54,308 --> 00:09:56,018

Marc Preston: I don't want to do that, but I will say, of

300

00:09:56,078 --> 00:09:57,924

Marc Preston: course you know you're, you're playing a

301

00:09:57,944 --> 00:09:58,706

Marc Preston: Nazi officer.

302

00:09:58,936 --> 00:10:00,662

Marc Preston: And one of the questions I've always got,

303

00:10:00,963 --> 00:10:03,362

Marc Preston: because when you're acting you got to be

304

00:10:03,403 --> 00:10:03,844

Marc Preston: empathetic.

305

00:10:03,915 --> 00:10:06,365

Marc Preston: I don't care how bad of a person in history

306

00:10:06,385 --> 00:10:08,099

Marc Preston: you're playing, you got to kind of be

307

00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:09,905

Marc Preston: empathetic to play them properly.

308

00:10:09,945 --> 00:10:12,460

Marc Preston: Of course, but putting on a Nazi uniform

309

00:10:13,161 --> 00:10:16,408

Marc Preston: and getting into you know that character,

310

00:10:16,735 --> 00:10:17,558

Marc Preston: how does that feel?

311

00:10:17,819 --> 00:10:19,505

Marc Preston: You know that kind of visceral experience.

312

00:10:20,196 --> 00:10:21,461

Marc Preston: What's that experience like?

313

00:10:23,235 --> 00:10:26,436

Billy Magnussen: I think everything, the experience, it's

314

00:10:26,456 --> 00:10:27,419

Billy Magnussen: like the multitude.

315

00:10:27,439 --> 00:10:30,180

Billy Magnussen: This question I feel, or I would like to

316

00:10:30,681 --> 00:10:35,585

Billy Magnussen: express my answer in layers, as the with

317

00:10:35,625 --> 00:10:37,015

Billy Magnussen: every project, you start with the script

318

00:10:37,176 --> 00:10:38,501

Billy Magnussen: and what is the story of telling?

319

00:10:39,136 --> 00:10:40,703

Billy Magnussen: So, getting into this character, I had

320

00:10:40,743 --> 00:10:44,097

Billy Magnussen: become kind of like the biggest adversary

321

00:10:44,438 --> 00:10:46,965

Billy Magnussen: or antagonist to Harry Haft through the

322

00:10:47,005 --> 00:10:50,542

Billy Magnussen: story and the higher I could set the wall

323

00:10:50,662 --> 00:10:53,077

Billy Magnussen: or mountain he had a climb, the better.

324

00:10:53,438 --> 00:10:55,704

Billy Magnussen: I think we could influence the story or

325

00:10:55,745 --> 00:10:56,426

Billy Magnussen: tell the story.

326

00:10:57,319 --> 00:11:00,374

Billy Magnussen: Now that that was my objective, going into

327

00:11:00,394 --> 00:11:02,884

Billy Magnussen: this process, to play against Ben Foster in

328

00:11:02,904 --> 00:11:03,325

Billy Magnussen: such a way.

329

00:11:04,538 --> 00:11:07,302

Billy Magnussen: But then putting on the outfit, there's so

330

00:11:07,382 --> 00:11:09,130

Billy Magnussen: much history that goes with that wardrobe

331

00:11:09,150 --> 00:11:17,479

Billy Magnussen: and that outfit and honestly, you, the

332

00:11:17,499 --> 00:11:19,547

Billy Magnussen: costume kind of takes you a little bit.

333

00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:21,624

Billy Magnussen: It really you feel it.

334

00:11:22,740 --> 00:11:25,474

Billy Magnussen: They were well tailored, well put together,

335

00:11:25,635 --> 00:11:26,237

Billy Magnussen: put together.

336

00:11:26,438 --> 00:11:28,737

Billy Magnussen: Uniforms like they are sharp, we know who

337

00:11:28,798 --> 00:11:30,103

Billy Magnussen: made it and stuff like that.

338

00:11:30,195 --> 00:11:32,203

Billy Magnussen: Who was the original designer?

339

00:11:32,556 --> 00:11:34,423

Marc Preston: Yeah, that's, but it was very well.

340

00:11:34,495 --> 00:11:35,741

Marc Preston: I mean, you've had the toe.

341

00:11:36,115 --> 00:11:37,842

Marc Preston: You're the epitome of a Nazi officer, which

342

00:11:37,902 --> 00:11:40,119

Marc Preston: sounds derogatory, but no, it was kind of

343

00:11:40,139 --> 00:11:40,600

Marc Preston: the way they.

344

00:11:40,621 --> 00:11:42,165

Marc Preston: There was a big deal about the outward

345

00:11:42,185 --> 00:11:43,438

Marc Preston: appearance you were making your.

346

00:11:43,498 --> 00:11:44,883

Marc Preston: You're making your case for what you

347

00:11:44,903 --> 00:11:46,701

Marc Preston: believe, and it was a wonderful bit of

348

00:11:46,741 --> 00:11:47,243

Marc Preston: dialogue.

349

00:11:47,575 --> 00:11:50,104

Marc Preston: This, this is not just Nazi, just being a

350

00:11:50,164 --> 00:11:50,505

Marc Preston: bad guy.

351

00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:51,499

Marc Preston: You know you're making your case.

352

00:11:52,036 --> 00:11:55,158

Billy Magnussen: Yeah, again, it's these people, I think,

353

00:11:55,258 --> 00:11:55,820

Billy Magnussen: over some.

354

00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,806

Billy Magnussen: Dietrich Schneider, the character I played,

355

00:11:59,076 --> 00:12:02,362

Billy Magnussen: he was an, he was an intellectual and

356

00:12:02,442 --> 00:12:05,729

Billy Magnussen: educated man that knew that Germany was

357

00:12:05,789 --> 00:12:09,641

Billy Magnussen: going to fall and he was trying to be an,

358

00:12:09,881 --> 00:12:13,529

Billy Magnussen: not an optimist, an opportunist, to find

359

00:12:13,629 --> 00:12:17,664

Billy Magnussen: his way out and find a way to, you know,

360

00:12:18,346 --> 00:12:21,094

Billy Magnussen: have something after the fall of the Reich.

361

00:12:21,114 --> 00:12:23,765

Billy Magnussen: You know, you know, so it's it's.

362

00:12:24,146 --> 00:12:25,873

Billy Magnussen: I, yeah, I not definitely don't sympathize

363

00:12:25,893 --> 00:12:29,042

Billy Magnussen: with him at all, but I understand, like a

364

00:12:29,083 --> 00:12:31,048

Billy Magnussen: character being in his position of

365

00:12:31,148 --> 00:12:33,572

Billy Magnussen: privilege, trying to find the best outcome

366

00:12:33,613 --> 00:12:33,855

Billy Magnussen: for him.

367

00:12:34,136 --> 00:12:36,589

Billy Magnussen: So it's so hard to talk about this thing

368

00:12:36,730 --> 00:12:37,594

Billy Magnussen: and be gentle about it.

369

00:12:37,695 --> 00:12:40,447

Billy Magnussen: It's really, you know, especially PC or

370

00:12:40,611 --> 00:12:40,952

Billy Magnussen: whatever.

371

00:12:42,458 --> 00:12:45,190

Billy Magnussen: But, like again, I I'm so proud of this

372

00:12:45,210 --> 00:12:45,933

Billy Magnussen: work and creating this character and

373

00:12:45,953 --> 00:12:50,347

Billy Magnussen: bringing it to life and I it's hard to.

374

00:12:50,888 --> 00:12:52,814

Billy Magnussen: Again, in this, in this weird profession,

375

00:12:52,854 --> 00:12:55,026

Billy Magnussen: I've gotten an opportunity to these crazy,

376

00:12:55,046 --> 00:12:56,373

Billy Magnussen: crazy characters, like all over the place.

377

00:12:58,582 --> 00:13:00,930

Billy Magnussen: But this one, you know it hits different

378

00:13:00,950 --> 00:13:02,295

Billy Magnussen: because it's, I think if you fake it at all,

379

00:13:04,041 --> 00:13:07,153

Billy Magnussen: or you you wink at it or you comment on it,

380

00:13:07,253 --> 00:13:07,695

Billy Magnussen: you lose it.

381

00:13:08,321 --> 00:13:09,435

Billy Magnussen: That's a great way of putting it.

382

00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:10,627

Marc Preston: You comment on our EV softball at all.

383

00:13:11,697 --> 00:13:13,247

Marc Preston: I mean you've really got to go for it.

384

00:13:13,415 --> 00:13:16,809

Marc Preston: I mean you're up to bat, you've got to be

385

00:13:16,829 --> 00:13:20,365

Marc Preston: the guy you know, yeah, but that what now

386

00:13:20,405 --> 00:13:22,774

Marc Preston: Barry Levinson has, I mean credible body of

387

00:13:22,795 --> 00:13:22,875

Marc Preston: work.

388

00:13:23,137 --> 00:13:24,526

Marc Preston: I mean I just I'm just wondering, in

389

00:13:24,546 --> 00:13:25,713

Marc Preston: something like this, which, like you're

390

00:13:25,754 --> 00:13:29,575

Marc Preston: saying it's got to be handled properly,

391

00:13:31,102 --> 00:13:32,890

Marc Preston: what was the experience like being in a

392

00:13:32,930 --> 00:13:34,941

Marc Preston: film that carries this kind of weight but

393

00:13:34,962 --> 00:13:35,847

Marc Preston: also is just, it's just.

394

00:13:35,868 --> 00:13:36,915

Marc Preston: It was such a great film.

395

00:13:37,076 --> 00:13:38,102

Marc Preston: I'm so glad I had a chance to catch it the

396

00:13:38,122 --> 00:13:39,330

Marc Preston: last time with kids because, like I told

397

00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:42,571

Marc Preston: them, it's important for them to see things

398

00:13:42,591 --> 00:13:43,679

Marc Preston: because as years go by, you know, these

399

00:13:43,699 --> 00:13:45,535

Marc Preston: stories become more stuff in history books.

400

00:13:45,535 --> 00:13:46,083

Marc Preston: Can't forget this shit.

401

00:13:46,936 --> 00:13:48,155

Billy Magnussen: We can't forget this shit.

402

00:13:48,378 --> 00:13:49,492

Billy Magnussen: We see it happening with Russian and

403

00:13:49,512 --> 00:13:49,674

Billy Magnussen: Ukraine.

404

00:13:51,141 --> 00:13:52,928

Billy Magnussen: It's so important not to forget this shit.

405

00:13:53,470 --> 00:13:54,093

Billy Magnussen: You know and you can't.

406

00:13:54,113 --> 00:13:54,695

Billy Magnussen: You can't get light about it.

407

00:13:55,580 --> 00:13:57,329

Billy Magnussen: You can't get light about this because it

408

00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:58,295

Billy Magnussen: is history will repeat itself if we do not

409

00:13:58,436 --> 00:14:02,084

Billy Magnussen: remember these stories and obviously we see

410

00:14:02,104 --> 00:14:03,350

Billy Magnussen: it happening and like we are in a

411

00:14:03,370 --> 00:14:05,980

Billy Magnussen: generation where I think they are

412

00:14:06,020 --> 00:14:09,525

Billy Magnussen: forgetting and I do truly believe that and

413

00:14:09,545 --> 00:14:11,577

Billy Magnussen: it's sad, it's sad, it's sad.

414

00:14:12,278 --> 00:14:13,641

Billy Magnussen: You know, I'm sorry I get a little

415

00:14:13,681 --> 00:14:17,027

Billy Magnussen: passionate about this, but yeah, you have

416

00:14:17,047 --> 00:14:17,669

Billy Magnussen: to order?

417

00:14:18,035 --> 00:14:18,978

Marc Preston: No, I think I think it should.

418

00:14:18,998 --> 00:14:20,122

Marc Preston: Like you said the Ukraine thing.

419

00:14:20,935 --> 00:14:21,878

Marc Preston: You watch the news and you go.

420

00:14:21,898 --> 00:14:23,664

Marc Preston: You know the DNA of what was going on.

421

00:14:23,764 --> 00:14:26,360

Marc Preston: You know here in the 1930s, 40s.

422

00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,123

Marc Preston: You're seeing some of that same DNA showing

423

00:14:28,203 --> 00:14:30,328

Marc Preston: up with Russia and what's going on Ukraine.

424

00:14:30,996 --> 00:14:33,344

Billy Magnussen: They're using the same red red rhetoric,

425

00:14:33,805 --> 00:14:35,672

Billy Magnussen: apparently in Russia, about them being

426

00:14:35,712 --> 00:14:38,222

Billy Magnussen: Nazis in Ukraine, to sell the story to them.

427

00:14:38,435 --> 00:14:41,545

Billy Magnussen: It's like what, the I don't know man.

428

00:14:42,196 --> 00:14:44,682

Billy Magnussen: Sorry, we're going off tangent, but yeah,

429

00:14:45,104 --> 00:14:45,565

Billy Magnussen: you can't.

430

00:14:46,775 --> 00:14:47,919

Marc Preston: That's what I think the likes of the weight

431

00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:48,722

Marc Preston: of the film.

432

00:14:49,235 --> 00:14:51,884

Marc Preston: I remember being, oh God, you know my 12,

433

00:14:51,904 --> 00:14:54,813

Marc Preston: 11, 12, 13, and you'd see some of these.

434

00:14:54,833 --> 00:14:57,303

Marc Preston: You know the Sunday school at Senegal and

435

00:14:57,323 --> 00:14:59,352

Marc Preston: you'd have some of the Nazi, obviously, our

436

00:14:59,373 --> 00:15:00,858

Marc Preston: concentration camp survivors, with the

437

00:15:00,898 --> 00:15:01,821

Marc Preston: tattoos on their arms.

438

00:15:02,483 --> 00:15:03,918

Marc Preston: You know the show and they did have a

439

00:15:03,978 --> 00:15:04,841

Marc Preston: little bit of that.

440

00:15:05,335 --> 00:15:06,959

Marc Preston: They would tell the story, but it was not

441

00:15:07,019 --> 00:15:09,867

Marc Preston: something that they really were, you know.

442

00:15:09,955 --> 00:15:11,079

Marc Preston: You kind of tell they were doing because

443

00:15:11,099 --> 00:15:12,837

Marc Preston: they felt it was important they were.

444

00:15:12,857 --> 00:15:15,144

Marc Preston: They had seen some things in life, you know.

445

00:15:15,816 --> 00:15:18,585

Billy Magnussen: Well, yeah, well, that's what this brings.

446

00:15:18,995 --> 00:15:21,802

Billy Magnussen: I think Barry did so well with this film is

447

00:15:21,842 --> 00:15:24,468

Billy Magnussen: that we don't know what people are carrying

448

00:15:24,756 --> 00:15:27,780

Billy Magnussen: all the time they're carrying this weight.

449

00:15:28,195 --> 00:15:29,902

Billy Magnussen: Ptsd is a real thing.

450

00:15:30,095 --> 00:15:35,244

Billy Magnussen: Like no matter where we go, people have the

451

00:15:35,425 --> 00:15:37,769

Billy Magnussen: world on their back and we have no clue.

452

00:15:37,895 --> 00:15:41,160

Billy Magnussen: We don't know anyone's story and what their

453

00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:41,761

Billy Magnussen: luggage is.

454

00:15:41,841 --> 00:15:42,643

Billy Magnussen: Their baggage is.

455

00:15:50,355 --> 00:15:52,259

Marc Preston: What did Barry Levinson give y'all as far

456

00:15:52,319 --> 00:15:55,184

Marc Preston: as any kind of notes playing a Nazi officer,

457

00:15:55,471 --> 00:15:57,155

Marc Preston: I mean, did he come to you and just say,

458

00:15:57,195 --> 00:15:59,891

Marc Preston: hey, bring me whatever you got, or did he

459

00:15:59,932 --> 00:16:01,455

Marc Preston: have something specific for you that he

460

00:16:01,515 --> 00:16:02,277

Marc Preston: wanted to elicit?

461

00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:05,611

Billy Magnussen: I can't.

462

00:16:05,952 --> 00:16:09,238

Billy Magnussen: You know, we did shoot it three and a half,

463

00:16:09,298 --> 00:16:10,039

Billy Magnussen: four years ago.

464

00:16:12,610 --> 00:16:15,196

Billy Magnussen: So I just remember having a lot of

465

00:16:15,236 --> 00:16:17,120

Billy Magnussen: discussions about what is the story we're

466

00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:17,461

Billy Magnussen: telling.

467

00:16:18,270 --> 00:16:19,454

Billy Magnussen: What is the story we're telling?

468

00:16:20,678 --> 00:16:21,440

Billy Magnussen: I did my research.

469

00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:23,255

Billy Magnussen: I think the you know half the film.

470

00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:25,101

Billy Magnussen: I speak German to German officers.

471

00:16:25,170 --> 00:16:27,196

Billy Magnussen: The other half is with the accent.

472

00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:31,678

Billy Magnussen: I think he gave me a lot of freedom to

473

00:16:31,778 --> 00:16:35,106

Billy Magnussen: breathe life into a character you know

474

00:16:35,146 --> 00:16:37,673

Billy Magnussen: create and drastically, and he would, you

475

00:16:37,693 --> 00:16:40,059

Billy Magnussen: know, guide me here this way or that way as

476

00:16:40,119 --> 00:16:40,841

Billy Magnussen: I move through it.

477

00:16:41,831 --> 00:16:47,002

Billy Magnussen: I felt a lot of empowerment given by Barry.

478

00:16:48,013 --> 00:16:51,930

Billy Magnussen: He endowed power to me in this process.

479

00:16:52,493 --> 00:16:53,418

Marc Preston: Because I'm always curious.

480

00:16:53,438 --> 00:16:55,006

Marc Preston: You know, as an actor I'm not clearly of

481

00:16:55,026 --> 00:16:56,893

Marc Preston: knack of nearly as much as you, but you

482

00:16:56,913 --> 00:16:58,597

Marc Preston: hear stories about some, some, some

483

00:16:58,637 --> 00:17:00,061

Marc Preston: directors going through many, many, many

484

00:17:00,081 --> 00:17:01,254

Marc Preston: takes and you have somebody like Clint

485

00:17:01,274 --> 00:17:01,616

Marc Preston: Eastwood.

486

00:17:01,657 --> 00:17:03,850

Marc Preston: It's like, all right, go, you know, maybe

487

00:17:04,071 --> 00:17:05,576

Marc Preston: one take lucky if you get to kind of a

488

00:17:05,596 --> 00:17:06,319

Marc Preston: thing and you're on.

489

00:17:06,430 --> 00:17:07,998

Marc Preston: Is this something where y'all really worked

490

00:17:08,078 --> 00:17:09,164

Marc Preston: at it or is it no?

491

00:17:09,224 --> 00:17:12,576

Billy Magnussen: no, man, I do like that big scene you're

492

00:17:12,596 --> 00:17:13,278

Billy Magnussen: talking about.

493

00:17:14,350 --> 00:17:16,818

Billy Magnussen: I think I had three, three or four runs at

494

00:17:16,858 --> 00:17:16,918

Billy Magnussen: it.

495

00:17:16,978 --> 00:17:17,359

Billy Magnussen: That was it.

496

00:17:18,110 --> 00:17:19,330

Marc Preston: Well, and did you learn German for this, or

497

00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:21,336

Marc Preston: is that something that that you already

498

00:17:21,356 --> 00:17:21,477

Marc Preston: kind?

499

00:17:21,497 --> 00:17:23,693

Billy Magnussen: of had in your really no, I had to learn

500

00:17:23,713 --> 00:17:24,435

Billy Magnussen: German, man.

501

00:17:25,438 --> 00:17:26,140

Billy Magnussen: That was crazy.

502

00:17:26,610 --> 00:17:27,495

Marc Preston: You know the thing I love.

503

00:17:27,796 --> 00:17:29,686

Marc Preston: You know another thing I will say and I'm

504

00:17:29,806 --> 00:17:31,693

Marc Preston: lucky that I've spoken with a few people

505

00:17:31,733 --> 00:17:34,259

Marc Preston: like this that I love being able to watch

506

00:17:34,279 --> 00:17:36,212

Marc Preston: people with no dialogue, just watching them,

507

00:17:36,452 --> 00:17:38,318

Marc Preston: you know, and then like you're just an

508

00:17:38,338 --> 00:17:39,201

Marc Preston: interesting guy to watch.

509

00:17:39,241 --> 00:17:40,954

Marc Preston: You know, you'd not just, you didn't even

510

00:17:40,974 --> 00:17:42,819

Marc Preston: necessarily need the dialogue, because I

511

00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:45,174

Marc Preston: think a lot of, a lot of in that

512

00:17:45,234 --> 00:17:47,041

Marc Preston: interaction, you know, given the

513

00:17:47,081 --> 00:17:49,230

Marc Preston: relationship, yet is a lot of non spoken

514

Marc Preston: does it.

538

00:18:34,439 --> 00:18:35,281

Marc Preston: Does it come back to you?

539

00:18:35,290 --> 00:18:37,503

Marc Preston: I mean, I've heard many actors talk about

540

00:18:37,543 --> 00:18:38,810

Marc Preston: you know the thing they remember about the

541

00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:40,094

Marc Preston: movie is necessarily a movie, but the

542

00:18:40,174 --> 00:18:42,170

Marc Preston: making of it is it still pretty fresh, like

543

00:18:42,190 --> 00:18:43,554

Marc Preston: you can kind of go back there and remember

544

00:18:44,556 --> 00:18:45,840

Marc Preston: the beats and the moments.

545

00:18:46,930 --> 00:18:48,617

Billy Magnussen: There are moments I definitely remember.

546

00:18:49,492 --> 00:18:51,659

Billy Magnussen: I remember stepping on that set first in

547

00:18:51,679 --> 00:18:54,949

Billy Magnussen: your original we recreated and stepping

548

00:18:55,009 --> 00:18:57,579

Billy Magnussen: onto that set and feeling that weight and

549

00:18:57,619 --> 00:19:00,249

Billy Magnussen: feeling the air and just feeling holy shit.

550

00:19:00,791 --> 00:19:03,056

Billy Magnussen: And then you dress it up with the actors

551

00:19:03,136 --> 00:19:04,580

Billy Magnussen: and the environment and you're just like,

552

00:19:05,522 --> 00:19:08,018

Billy Magnussen: oh God, it's a visceral thing.

553

00:19:09,072 --> 00:19:10,616

Marc Preston: I think he directed the crap out of that

554

00:19:10,656 --> 00:19:11,739

Marc Preston: thing, man, it was just so.

555

00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:12,721

Billy Magnussen: I think he did too.

556

00:19:13,872 --> 00:19:15,396

Marc Preston: One of my favorite things about it and

557

00:19:15,877 --> 00:19:17,241

Marc Preston: again, I'm not giving me anything away, but

558

00:19:17,261 --> 00:19:19,617

Marc Preston: there, of course, harry Haffse, boxer, he's

559

00:19:19,657 --> 00:19:22,897

Marc Preston: boxing, he's in front of you know, for the

560

00:19:22,958 --> 00:19:26,094

Marc Preston: Nazis it's just the looks, and just the

561

00:19:26,155 --> 00:19:29,041

Marc Preston: sequences of looks, on the face of the Jews

562

00:19:29,061 --> 00:19:31,494

Marc Preston: in the camp, you know that are watching

563

00:19:31,594 --> 00:19:34,871

Marc Preston: from the behind the fence, that right there

564

00:19:34,911 --> 00:19:35,052

Marc Preston: was.

565

00:19:35,192 --> 00:19:37,337

Marc Preston: It was such a great film just to watch and

566

00:19:37,498 --> 00:19:38,982

Marc Preston: just kind of take in and I think it's it

567

00:19:39,290 --> 00:19:40,293

Marc Preston: and I think it's going to go down as

568

00:19:40,313 --> 00:19:43,040

Marc Preston: another one is great educational type films,

569

00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,194

Marc Preston: you know, for the, for the young folk.

570

00:19:45,234 --> 00:19:46,878

Marc Preston: You know it's like OK, this is a thing that

571

00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:47,240

Marc Preston: happened.

572

00:19:47,770 --> 00:19:49,979

Marc Preston: Now, going back a little bit more about I

573

00:19:49,999 --> 00:19:51,245

Marc Preston: know you've been nominated for a Tony,

574

00:19:51,405 --> 00:19:52,410

Marc Preston: which is pretty awesome.

575

00:19:52,831 --> 00:19:55,600

Marc Preston: I mean you do you do not cover cover comedy.

576

00:19:55,790 --> 00:19:56,073

Marc Preston: This are you?

577

00:19:56,094 --> 00:19:57,530

Marc Preston: Did you come from an acting background?

578

00:19:57,730 --> 00:20:00,437

Marc Preston: I mean your folks is this, is this in your

579

00:20:00,457 --> 00:20:00,557

Marc Preston: DNA?

580

00:20:00,597 --> 00:20:04,997

Billy Magnussen: No, I went, you know, funny enough, I think

581

00:20:05,319 --> 00:20:07,789

Billy Magnussen: I had a great grandpa from Lithuania who

582

00:20:07,810 --> 00:20:10,057

Billy Magnussen: was an actor apparently.

583

00:20:10,137 --> 00:20:10,659

Announcer: That's about it.

584

00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:13,298

Billy Magnussen: Everyone else in my family, my blue collar.

585

00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,365

Billy Magnussen: My father's a carpenter.

586

00:20:15,506 --> 00:20:18,476

Billy Magnussen: You know, my mom was like a really strong

587

00:20:19,077 --> 00:20:19,659

Billy Magnussen: stay home mom.

588

00:20:20,290 --> 00:20:22,517

Billy Magnussen: She also was a personal trainer for a lot

589

00:20:22,557 --> 00:20:22,757

Billy Magnussen: of her.

590

00:20:23,870 --> 00:20:28,799

Billy Magnussen: Yeah, but no, I don't know where it really

591

00:20:28,899 --> 00:20:30,122

Billy Magnussen: came from per se.

592

00:20:30,390 --> 00:20:32,955

Billy Magnussen: I think there was just a moment in my life

593

00:20:33,016 --> 00:20:36,683

Billy Magnussen: where I found something that intrigued me

594

00:20:37,232 --> 00:20:38,819

Billy Magnussen: and I kind of just went down that road and

595

00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,410

Billy Magnussen: it kind of like has led me on this journey

596

00:20:41,571 --> 00:20:42,796

Billy Magnussen: that has led me to here.

597

00:20:43,330 --> 00:20:47,313

Billy Magnussen: You know it's, it's funny, each project

598

00:20:47,373 --> 00:20:49,361

Billy Magnussen: that I've ever done, like again, like I

599

00:20:49,381 --> 00:20:51,151

Billy Magnussen: think you know, as a performer and artist

600

00:20:51,692 --> 00:20:54,917

Billy Magnussen: you can't really choose what jobs you get,

601

00:20:55,779 --> 00:20:59,530

Billy Magnussen: but you can choose what you pursue and you

602

00:20:59,550 --> 00:21:01,796

Billy Magnussen: can work hard on what you do get.

603

00:21:04,650 --> 00:21:06,355

Billy Magnussen: And I've realized every project that has

604

00:21:06,375 --> 00:21:08,240

Billy Magnussen: come across my lap and I had the fortune

605

00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:10,673

Billy Magnussen: and opportunity to work on has developed me

606

00:21:10,733 --> 00:21:14,560

Billy Magnussen: more as a man and made me the man that I am

607

00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,101

Billy Magnussen: today.

608

00:21:15,181 --> 00:21:18,576

Marc Preston: Weirdly, and I'd be more grateful for that.

609

00:21:18,690 --> 00:21:19,957

Marc Preston: Yeah, I think it's a big part of doing this

610

00:21:20,017 --> 00:21:22,430

Marc Preston: and just you learn so much about yourself

611

00:21:22,510 --> 00:21:24,076

Marc Preston: because you have to kind of look inside to

612

00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:24,798

Marc Preston: create stuff.

613

00:21:25,170 --> 00:21:26,434

Marc Preston: You know you have to, you know has to be

614

00:21:26,474 --> 00:21:27,518

Marc Preston: something organic and real.

615

00:21:28,430 --> 00:21:31,478

Marc Preston: And you know, for the hit and rewind, I

616

00:21:31,498 --> 00:21:33,082

Marc Preston: mean, what was it for?

617

00:21:33,450 --> 00:21:36,476

Marc Preston: Was it high school drama class or was it?

618

00:21:37,438 --> 00:21:38,981

Marc Preston: You know, how did you?

619

00:21:39,001 --> 00:21:40,123

Marc Preston: Kind of jumpstart this thing.

620

00:21:41,211 --> 00:21:44,197

Billy Magnussen: Yeah, you know, I was funny enough, I think

621

00:21:44,257 --> 00:21:46,842

Billy Magnussen: I was always I had a lot of energy growing

622

00:21:46,902 --> 00:21:50,458

Billy Magnussen: up as a kid I maybe undiagnosed ADD or

623

00:21:50,518 --> 00:21:51,240

Billy Magnussen: something like that.

624

00:21:52,152 --> 00:21:52,353

Billy Magnussen: What?

625

00:21:52,413 --> 00:21:53,016

Marc Preston: and you're an actor.

626

00:21:53,310 --> 00:21:54,776

Marc Preston: I've never heard that happen before.

627

00:21:57,956 --> 00:21:59,880

Billy Magnussen: But no, I was a big jock and stuff like

628

00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:01,592

Billy Magnussen: that, played a lot of sports, I ripped a

629

00:22:01,632 --> 00:22:03,620

Billy Magnussen: hamstring wrestling and I couldn't take a

630

00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,431

Billy Magnussen: gym class so I was put in an acting class

631

00:22:06,571 --> 00:22:09,177

Billy Magnussen: and then I just kind of saw my high school

632

00:22:09,197 --> 00:22:10,681

Billy Magnussen: production of grease and I was like what is

633

00:22:10,741 --> 00:22:10,881

Billy Magnussen: this?

634

00:22:11,550 --> 00:22:12,554

Billy Magnussen: I want to see what this is.

635

00:22:14,150 --> 00:22:15,636

Billy Magnussen: And then I thought I was going to go to

636

00:22:15,817 --> 00:22:18,047

Billy Magnussen: Auburn or some university like that and I

637

00:22:18,087 --> 00:22:19,371

Billy Magnussen: had a theater teacher.

638

00:22:19,411 --> 00:22:23,140

Billy Magnussen: Renee Denny told me to go audition for the

639

00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,412

Billy Magnussen: North Carolina School of the Arts and I

640

00:22:25,652 --> 00:22:28,740

Billy Magnussen: surprisingly got in and she was like go on

641

00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,300

Billy Magnussen: this journey, and I kind of just followed

642

00:22:32,381 --> 00:22:33,145

Billy Magnussen: it a little bit.

643

00:22:33,250 --> 00:22:34,613

Marc Preston: What did you think about North Carolina

644

00:22:34,653 --> 00:22:35,435

00:23:58,395 --> 00:24:00,404

Marc Preston: it's a different speed but it's a different.

684

00:24:01,309 --> 00:24:03,098

Marc Preston: It's everywhere you live is different from

Marc Preston: somewhere else.

686

00:24:04,062 --> 00:24:05,730

Marc Preston: But New Orleans is a special kind of

687

00:24:05,771 --> 00:24:07,559

Marc Preston: different from a lot of other places, you

688

00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,670

Marc Preston: know, but it's every actor I talked to

689

00:26:57,883 --> 00:27:00,172

Billy Magnussen: I remember this woman, ellen Dolan.

762

00:27:00,260 --> 00:27:02,466

Billy Magnussen: She played my mother on the show and I was

763

00:27:02,506 --> 00:27:04,791

Billy Magnussen: having a day like that was maybe a year

764

00:27:04,872 --> 00:27:05,252

Billy Magnussen: into it.

765

00:27:05,380 --> 00:27:07,409

Billy Magnussen: I was just having a day like I was like I'm

766

00:27:07,429 --> 00:27:07,951

Billy Magnussen: not doing.

767

00:27:07,992 --> 00:27:09,076

Billy Magnussen: I'm not hitting it, whatever.

768

00:27:09,177 --> 00:27:09,920

Billy Magnussen: She's like pulled me aside.

00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,608

Billy Magnussen: She was like nobody gives a fuck, say your

770

00:27:13,668 --> 00:27:18,104

Billy Magnussen: lines, I want to go home, and it just it

771

00:27:18,144 --> 00:27:19,668

Billy Magnussen: was the biggest slap in the face.

772

00:27:19,728 --> 00:27:22,549

Billy Magnussen: The truth was no one cares, no one cares,

773

00:27:23,012 --> 00:27:23,980

Billy Magnussen: just get your job done.

774

00:27:24,847 --> 00:27:26,701

Marc Preston: I think that's it is, that it's a job, and

775

00:27:26,721 --> 00:27:27,827

Marc Preston: I think when you're coming in from an

776

00:27:27,887 --> 00:27:29,495

Marc Preston: acting, you feel like you've got okay, but

777

00:27:29,516 --> 00:27:30,360

Marc Preston: I've got to perform.

778

00:27:30,541 --> 00:27:32,909

Announcer: I like I'll be a performer I gotta be.

779

00:27:32,949 --> 00:27:34,594

Marc Preston: Yeah, I always use that example, john

780

00:27:34,655 --> 00:27:36,160

Marc Preston: Lovett's character from Saturday Night Live,

781

00:27:36,321 --> 00:27:37,586

Marc Preston: but I'm a fespeon, you see.

782

00:27:39,422 --> 00:27:39,703

Marc Preston: Did you?

783

00:27:39,823 --> 00:27:43,182

Marc Preston: Did you then move from that go, comparing

784

00:27:43,223 --> 00:27:44,248

Marc Preston: it to stage, did you?

785

00:27:44,309 --> 00:27:46,280

Marc Preston: Did you like the idea of going you know,

786

00:27:46,541 --> 00:27:48,025

Marc Preston: you got a few pages a day as opposed to

787

00:27:48,065 --> 00:27:50,572

Marc Preston: having to memorize an entire entire play?

788

00:27:51,701 --> 00:27:52,907

Marc Preston: Stim to stern, I mean what?

789

00:27:52,947 --> 00:27:54,575

Marc Preston: Did you have any preference between the two,

790

00:27:55,017 --> 00:27:55,640

Marc Preston: stage or film?

791

00:27:55,901 --> 00:27:56,885

Billy Magnussen: No, I think.

792

00:27:56,905 --> 00:27:57,427

Billy Magnussen: No, there's.

793

00:27:57,608 --> 00:28:00,077

Billy Magnussen: I think you're always creating character or

794

00:28:00,097 --> 00:28:00,700

Billy Magnussen: telling a story.

795

00:28:01,823 --> 00:28:04,951

Billy Magnussen: I see, like my preparation for a play I

796

00:28:04,971 --> 00:28:07,783

Billy Magnussen: know it's not memorizing line I when I did

797

00:28:07,803 --> 00:28:10,108

Billy Magnussen: the show sex with strangers, it was me and

798

00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:13,941

Billy Magnussen: Anna gun, directed by David Schwimmer, but

799

00:28:13,981 --> 00:28:16,306

Billy Magnussen: it was it was just me and Anna on stage for

800

00:28:16,346 --> 00:28:17,248

Billy Magnussen: two and a half hours.

801

00:28:17,468 --> 00:28:19,492

Billy Magnussen: And I remember preparation for the first

802

00:28:19,632 --> 00:28:20,314

Billy Magnussen: table read.

803

00:28:21,275 --> 00:28:25,048

Billy Magnussen: I hired this person to Literally come over

804

00:28:25,108 --> 00:28:26,896

Billy Magnussen: every day and just read an act with me for

805

00:28:26,936 --> 00:28:27,680

Billy Magnussen: about a month and a half.

806

00:28:28,203 --> 00:28:30,578

Billy Magnussen: We just read an act, never memorize it,

807

00:28:30,618 --> 00:28:30,900

Billy Magnussen: they're right.

808

00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,005

Billy Magnussen: We just read it every day, over and over

809

00:28:33,025 --> 00:28:34,789

Billy Magnussen: and over again and then by the first table

810

00:28:34,829 --> 00:28:35,070

Billy Magnussen: read.

811

00:28:35,551 --> 00:28:36,453

Billy Magnussen: I didn't have to look down.

812

00:28:37,802 --> 00:28:40,687

Marc Preston: Really, that is that is really impressive,

813

00:28:40,707 --> 00:28:41,651

Marc Preston: because I I don't.

814

00:28:42,514 --> 00:28:44,300

Marc Preston: I'm really bad at memorizing lines.

815

00:28:44,441 --> 00:28:45,465

Marc Preston: I've got my whole system.

816

00:28:45,881 --> 00:28:47,347

Marc Preston: I teach voiceover and I know, I teach my,

817

00:28:47,387 --> 00:28:48,129

Marc Preston: teach all my students.

818

00:28:48,642 --> 00:28:49,728

Marc Preston: I got into this thing where I would always

819

00:28:49,788 --> 00:28:51,677

Marc Preston: highlight the other actors lines right

820

00:28:51,718 --> 00:28:52,180

Marc Preston: before mine.

821

00:28:52,261 --> 00:28:53,480

Marc Preston: So I knew, because the guy like okay, I

822

00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:54,665

Marc Preston: know gonna react to that, and then

823

00:28:54,785 --> 00:28:56,572

Marc Preston: theoretically that that was my little trick,

824

00:28:56,672 --> 00:28:58,579

Marc Preston: remembering what they were saying would

825

00:28:58,679 --> 00:28:59,783

Marc Preston: help me Remember what I was saying.

826

00:29:00,244 --> 00:29:02,251

Marc Preston: But my brain, normal, you know.

827

00:29:03,401 --> 00:29:04,122

Billy Magnussen: Know that works.

828

00:29:04,182 --> 00:29:05,766

Billy Magnussen: Again, everyone has their own approach to

829

00:29:05,806 --> 00:29:05,986

Billy Magnussen: this.

830

00:29:06,026 --> 00:29:08,210

Billy Magnussen: That's what's kind of the amazing part of.

831

00:29:08,912 --> 00:29:10,094

Billy Magnussen: That's why you're an artist, right?

832

00:29:10,980 --> 00:29:12,806

Marc Preston: Exactly one of the things I'm curious.

833

00:29:12,826 --> 00:29:13,909

Marc Preston: But you said mentioned you were directed by

834

00:29:13,949 --> 00:29:14,451

Marc Preston: David Schwimmer.

835

00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:16,307

Marc Preston: What was like being directed by Ike Baron

836

00:29:16,347 --> 00:29:18,636

Marc Preston: holds, because I'm just like that that the

837

00:29:18,716 --> 00:29:19,620

Marc Preston: oath the oath.

838

00:29:19,901 --> 00:29:22,127

Marc Preston: I was like there's some about that guy that

839

00:29:22,188 --> 00:29:24,885

Marc Preston: is like he just I Don't know why, I want to

840

00:29:24,905 --> 00:29:26,453

Marc Preston: know more about that experience, but I mean

00:29:26,855 --> 00:29:27,900

Marc Preston: he seems like the coolest dude.

842

00:29:28,221 --> 00:29:29,326

Marc Preston: What was that like being directed by?

843

00:29:30,241 --> 00:29:31,325

Billy Magnussen: Ike's a great guy.

844

00:29:31,426 --> 00:29:33,373

Billy Magnussen: Ike's a really fun guy.

845

00:29:33,573 --> 00:29:37,749

Billy Magnussen: He is passionate, he is driven and man.

Billy Magnussen: He really made a great environment.

848

00:29:41,003 --> 00:29:42,753

Billy Magnussen: It was funny to like be acting in the scene

849

00:29:42,934 --> 00:29:46,039

Billy Magnussen: as he's directing it, so like you ever see

850

00:29:46,059 --> 00:29:48,888

Billy Magnussen: that Cut of like Barbara Streisand

851

00:29:48,928 --> 00:29:51,938

Billy Magnussen: directing was it gentle or what was the

852

00:29:51,978 --> 00:29:52,660

Billy Magnussen: thing she directed?

853

00:29:53,001 --> 00:29:55,051

Billy Magnussen: I haven't seen any scenes of her directing

854

00:29:55,111 --> 00:29:57,846

Billy Magnussen: it, so yeah, so she's like in a tense scene

855

00:29:57,886 --> 00:29:59,571

Billy Magnussen: and, as the other actors yelling at her,

856

00:30:00,001 --> 00:30:01,485

Billy Magnussen: she's like in the scene but telling the

857

00:30:01,526 --> 00:30:03,050

Billy Magnussen: camera to like, get over here, catch it

858

00:30:03,090 --> 00:30:04,627

Billy Magnussen: from here, but let's take it back, take it

859

00:30:04,647 --> 00:30:04,788

Billy Magnussen: back.

860

00:30:04,888 --> 00:30:07,000

Billy Magnussen: And she's still in it while directing it.

861

00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:07,402

Billy Magnussen: So it was.

862

00:30:07,904 --> 00:30:10,093

Billy Magnussen: It was a bit chaotic but at the same time

863

00:30:10,234 --> 00:30:13,447

Billy Magnussen: so fun, you know, because, like I don't

864

00:30:13,467 --> 00:30:15,374

Billy Magnussen: know independent films that you can, you're

865

00:30:15,394 --> 00:30:16,940

Billy Magnussen: just trying to grip it, rip a little bit.

866

00:30:17,342 --> 00:30:18,147

Marc Preston: Yeah, because you got him.

867

00:30:18,187 --> 00:30:19,877

871

00:30:23,608 --> 00:30:24,851

Marc Preston: So we're in a time right now that there's

876

00:30:33,395 --> 00:30:34,500

Marc Preston: so much content to digest.

877

00:30:35,302 --> 00:30:36,909

Marc Preston: I'm assuming everybody who wanted to see it

878

00:30:37,270 --> 00:30:38,054

Marc Preston: You know it was.

883

00:30:48,361 --> 00:30:49,885

Marc Preston: You know you're not quite revealed as to

884

00:30:49,925 --> 00:30:52,752

Marc Preston: who you really are for some time in that

885

00:30:52,792 --> 00:30:55,568

Marc Preston: film, but what was it like?

886

00:30:55,949 --> 00:30:57,093

Marc Preston: Just kind of being on set.

887

00:30:57,134 --> 00:30:59,965

Marc Preston: Because that's it's a very I Think it's a

888

00:30:59,985 --> 00:31:01,758

Marc Preston: kind of a unique club to be able to say,

889

00:31:01,798 --> 00:31:02,946

Marc Preston: first of all, you've been in a Bond film

890

00:31:03,006 --> 00:31:05,180

Marc Preston: and you've been to go toe-to-toe with Bond,

891

00:31:05,581 --> 00:31:06,183

Marc Preston: you know what was.

892

00:31:06,704 --> 00:31:08,289

Marc Preston: Was that kind of have to pinch yourself

893

00:31:08,389 --> 00:31:08,890

Marc Preston: ever and go?

894

00:31:09,011 --> 00:31:09,973

Marc Preston: Okay, I'm doing this thing.

895

00:31:11,398 --> 00:31:14,373

Billy Magnussen: I Was in a really unique place with my life

896

00:31:14,413 --> 00:31:15,980

Billy Magnussen: when I was doing that project.

897

00:31:16,802 --> 00:31:19,268

Billy Magnussen: I would have to say first for personal

898

00:31:19,308 --> 00:31:23,426

Billy Magnussen: reasons, but yeah, it's not until it came

899

00:31:23,527 --> 00:31:25,335

Billy Magnussen: out that I really pinched myself because,

900

00:31:25,355 --> 00:31:26,560

Billy Magnussen: like when you you're doing the work.

901

00:31:26,681 --> 00:31:27,928

Billy Magnussen: You're doing the work and you're trying to

902

00:31:27,968 --> 00:31:29,880

Billy Magnussen: like you know you're doing your job.

903

00:31:31,144 --> 00:31:33,310

Billy Magnussen: So it's actually it's been when it came out

904

00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:35,697

Billy Magnussen: that I like realized what I was being a

905

00:31:35,737 --> 00:31:36,138

Billy Magnussen: part of.

906

00:31:36,620 --> 00:31:38,866

Billy Magnussen: Yeah, here and there I was like, oh wow, in

907

00:31:38,887 --> 00:31:40,111

Billy Magnussen: a Bond movie, that's cool.

908

00:31:41,862 --> 00:31:42,385

Billy Magnussen: But it wasn't.

909

00:31:42,506 --> 00:31:43,652

Billy Magnussen: It really wasn't, till it came out.

910

00:31:43,752 --> 00:31:45,801

Billy Magnussen: So, like in those moments I'm just trying

911

00:31:45,821 --> 00:31:48,527

Billy Magnussen: to be like I hope no one sees it, or no one

912

00:31:48,548 --> 00:31:49,590

Billy Magnussen: sees that I don't know what.

913

00:31:49,790 --> 00:31:51,013

Billy Magnussen: I don't know what I'm doing, you know.

914

00:31:52,961 --> 00:31:53,323

Marc Preston: You know.

915

00:31:53,624 --> 00:31:55,431

Marc Preston: So no, I think you did a wonderful job, man,

916

00:31:55,491 --> 00:31:56,013

Marc Preston: I really did.

917

00:31:56,053 --> 00:31:56,957

Marc Preston: I think that was just.

918

00:31:57,559 --> 00:31:59,708

Marc Preston: You know how things wrapped up between the

919

00:31:59,728 --> 00:32:00,552

Marc Preston: two of you in the movie.

920

00:32:00,572 --> 00:32:01,957

Marc Preston: You know how many people could say Bond did

921

00:32:01,978 --> 00:32:02,540

Marc Preston: that to somebody.

922

00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,066

Marc Preston: It's like I'm one of those guys bond took

923

00:32:04,166 --> 00:32:04,287

Marc Preston: out.

924

00:32:05,361 --> 00:32:06,466

Billy Magnussen: Yeah, so right.

925

00:32:06,847 --> 00:32:08,915

Marc Preston: But you know you said you now you shot the

926

00:32:08,955 --> 00:32:10,060

Marc Preston: survivor before that.

927

00:32:10,702 --> 00:32:13,650

Billy Magnussen: I think I was shooting the survivor and the

928

00:32:13,690 --> 00:32:16,799

Billy Magnussen: sopranos movie like right at the same time

929

00:32:16,839 --> 00:32:17,120

Billy Magnussen: period.

930

00:32:17,461 --> 00:32:19,065

Billy Magnussen: They were like right on top of each other.

931

00:32:19,626 --> 00:32:21,731

Marc Preston: I still, I still want to see, I still have

932

00:32:21,771 --> 00:32:23,929

Marc Preston: not seen that there's so much like again,

933

00:32:23,949 --> 00:32:24,834

Marc Preston: there's so much stuff out there.

934

00:32:24,855 --> 00:32:25,740

Marc Preston: I want to see the sopranos.

935

00:32:26,122 --> 00:32:28,392

Billy Magnussen: So much content, man, I can't, I can't even

936

00:32:28,432 --> 00:32:29,095

Billy Magnussen: keep up with it.

937

00:32:29,196 --> 00:32:30,100

Billy Magnussen: There's so much content.

938

00:32:30,361 --> 00:32:31,344

Marc Preston: Who did you play in the?

939

00:32:31,404 --> 00:32:33,290

Marc Preston: In the sopranos movie is about playing

940

00:32:33,310 --> 00:32:33,751

Marc Preston: walnuts.

941

00:32:35,561 --> 00:32:38,651

Marc Preston: Yeah that's that again.

942

00:32:39,041 --> 00:32:40,285

Marc Preston: There's some things I got to put down on

943

00:32:40,305 --> 00:32:40,666

Marc Preston: the list.

944

00:32:40,686 --> 00:32:41,830

Marc Preston: You know, now my kids a little bit older,

945

00:32:41,890 --> 00:32:42,964

Marc Preston: now we all gonna sky-guy.

946

00:32:43,466 --> 00:32:45,563

Marc Preston: Whatever we're watching, it has to be kind

947

00:32:45,584 --> 00:32:47,048

Marc Preston: of sort of like not family-friendly

948

00:32:47,089 --> 00:32:48,384

Marc Preston: necessarily, but something that everybody

949

00:32:48,424 --> 00:32:49,148

Marc Preston: would want to watch.

950

00:32:49,570 --> 00:32:50,856

Marc Preston: But you know the kids, you know they're

951

00:32:50,896 --> 00:32:51,318

Marc Preston: they'll.

952

00:32:51,559 --> 00:32:53,123

Marc Preston: You know, like the girls last night just

953

00:32:53,143 --> 00:32:54,687

Marc Preston: kind of drifted in their telephones during

954

00:32:54,707 --> 00:32:55,650

Marc Preston: the movie during part of it.

955

00:32:55,670 --> 00:32:57,924

Marc Preston: I'm like watch the movie More kids.

956

00:32:57,944 --> 00:33:02,082

Marc Preston: We didn't bring the bones in a movie, but

957

00:33:02,122 --> 00:33:03,949

Marc Preston: go, we walked up, hell getting there.

958

00:33:05,241 --> 00:33:08,488

Marc Preston: Both ways and but the survivor for that,

959

00:33:08,829 --> 00:33:10,232

Marc Preston: for that film I think it's gonna really

960

00:33:10,272 --> 00:33:12,726

Marc Preston: come out In the grand scheme thing is gonna

961

00:33:12,746 --> 00:33:13,570

Marc Preston: be an important movie.

962

00:33:13,831 --> 00:33:15,438

Marc Preston: It was just so well-directed, it was very

963

00:33:15,479 --> 00:33:18,386

Marc Preston: well-written and I just think that you just

964

00:33:18,587 --> 00:33:20,511

Marc Preston: executed across where I like the way you

965

00:33:20,571 --> 00:33:21,453

Marc Preston: kept showing up.

966

00:33:22,781 --> 00:33:24,926

Marc Preston: Just it was almost like you kept showing up

967

00:33:25,127 --> 00:33:28,185

Marc Preston: as a very pivotal memory Throughout the

968

00:33:28,225 --> 00:33:29,676

Marc Preston: film and I think that that's I mean.

969

00:33:29,696 --> 00:33:31,763

Marc Preston: Without you, I think it would be harder to

970

00:33:31,823 --> 00:33:34,790

Marc Preston: to clearly define what Harry Haft's story

971

00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:35,130

Marc Preston: was.

972

00:33:42,425 --> 00:33:42,726

Billy Magnussen: I'm wondering.

973

00:33:42,746 --> 00:33:44,329

Billy Magnussen: To go back to the past, is that cool?

974

00:33:44,670 --> 00:33:45,732

Marc Preston: Absolutely, absolutely.

975

00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:48,564

Billy Magnussen: So you were saying, like you know, pinch

976

00:33:48,584 --> 00:33:52,253

Billy Magnussen: yourself moments with the meaningfulness of,

977

00:33:52,380 --> 00:33:53,866

Billy Magnussen: like, doing Bond or something like that,

978

00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:57,392

Billy Magnussen: it's funny doing the survivor that it felt

979

00:33:57,473 --> 00:33:57,854

Billy Magnussen: different.

980

00:33:58,195 --> 00:33:59,962

Billy Magnussen: You know, when you do a movie like that, it

981

00:34:00,022 --> 00:34:02,128

Billy Magnussen: feels different.

982

00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:05,945

Billy Magnussen: There's a lot more not weight, but yeah,

983

00:34:05,986 --> 00:34:08,351

Billy Magnussen: maybe weight, but there's an importance

984

00:34:08,491 --> 00:34:09,132

Billy Magnussen: element to it.

985

00:34:10,001 --> 00:34:13,298

Billy Magnussen: There's something that you're yeah, pride.

986

00:34:13,700 --> 00:34:16,287

Billy Magnussen: There's something there that you're like I

987

00:34:16,407 --> 00:34:17,911

Billy Magnussen: really want to tell this story.

988

00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:18,441

Billy Magnussen: This is.

989

00:34:18,722 --> 00:34:21,308

Billy Magnussen: There's something more than just a big

990

00:34:21,488 --> 00:34:22,772

Billy Magnussen: action scene or something.

991

00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:28,010

Billy Magnussen: It's like we're really expressing life.

992

00:34:30,041 --> 00:34:31,365

Marc Preston: I think it's a great, I think it's a

993

00:34:31,505 --> 00:34:33,110

Marc Preston: wonderful film to watch right now.

994

00:34:33,641 --> 00:34:35,912

Marc Preston: I think that what we were talking about

995

00:34:35,932 --> 00:34:37,299

Marc Preston: before I mean you're talking about what's

996

00:34:37,319 --> 00:34:38,844

Marc Preston: happening in Ukraine and Russia and you're

997

00:34:38,864 --> 00:34:42,555

Marc Preston: looking at the okay, what's old is new

998

00:34:42,595 --> 00:34:44,400

Marc Preston: again and the worst way possible.

999

00:34:44,722 --> 00:34:45,989

Marc Preston: It's just sort of like okay, what's that

Speaker:
1000

00:34:46,029 --> 00:34:47,839

Marc Preston: part of our human experience that just

Speaker:
1001

00:34:47,899 --> 00:34:49,425

Marc Preston: can't seem to be extinguished, to keep

Speaker:
1002

00:34:49,485 --> 00:34:49,967

Marc Preston: showing up?

Speaker:
1003

00:34:50,981 --> 00:34:53,529

Marc Preston: Ultimate power curbs baby, Indeed, indeed,

Speaker:
1004

00:34:53,720 --> 00:34:54,323

Marc Preston: but it was.

Speaker:
1005

00:34:54,825 --> 00:34:55,547

Marc Preston: But it was kind of nice.

Speaker:
1006

00:34:55,660 --> 00:34:57,410

Marc Preston: I did have that little opportunity within

Speaker:
1007

00:34:57,430 --> 00:34:59,320

Marc Preston: the film to kind of know for you, to kind

Speaker:
1008

00:34:59,340 --> 00:35:01,785

Marc Preston: of express your as the character,

Speaker:
1009

00:35:01,826 --> 00:35:03,710

Marc Preston: expressing why you're doing this, what you

Speaker:
1010

00:35:03,730 --> 00:35:06,423

Marc Preston: think about it and being philosophical

Speaker:
1011

00:35:06,464 --> 00:35:06,845

Marc Preston: about it.

Speaker:
1012

00:35:07,085 --> 00:35:08,409

Marc Preston: Like I said, it's a very well written film

Speaker:
