,985 --> 00:06:32,018
Billy Magnussen: Carolina and then, once I was like 21, 22,
203
,078 --> 00:06:34,765
Billy Magnussen: I moved to New York and had been like based
204
,825 --> 00:06:37,651
Billy Magnussen: in New York till about 2018.
205
,640 --> 00:06:40,845
Billy Magnussen: Like here and there would fly out for a job
206
,885 --> 00:06:42,810
Billy Magnussen: if I got it, very fortunately, you know.
207
,873 --> 00:06:46,928
Billy Magnussen: But after 2018, I kind of haven't lived to
208
,069 --> 00:06:48,031
Billy Magnussen: anywhere, sadly.
209
,542 --> 00:06:49,546
Billy Magnussen: I've been all over the place.
210
,441 --> 00:06:56,131
Billy Magnussen: You're up a lot, have worked in LA, arizona.
211
,202 --> 00:06:59,269
Billy Magnussen: It's man, this life gets tough after a
212
,309 --> 00:06:59,530
Billy Magnussen: while.
213
,640 --> 00:06:59,881
Billy Magnussen: You know.
214
,901 --> 00:07:01,809
Billy Magnussen: you want, you want to build roots somewhere
215
,910 --> 00:07:04,801
Billy Magnussen: and yeah these past five years have been
216
,503 --> 00:07:07,690
Billy Magnussen: challenging for me because I haven't found
217
,730 --> 00:07:10,326
Billy Magnussen: a home and I'm really I'm missing.
218
,406 --> 00:07:12,271
Billy Magnussen: I need it, especially as an older man.
219
,311 --> 00:07:14,044
Billy Magnussen: Now it's like I want that shit.
220
,325 --> 00:07:15,188
Marc Preston: Yeah, it's, it's.
221
,248 --> 00:07:15,810
Marc Preston: It's funny.
222
,320 --> 00:07:17,985
Marc Preston: I was talking with a friend of mine who
223
,045 --> 00:07:19,549
Marc Preston: travels a lot for work and he'd be gone.
224
,609 --> 00:07:22,105
Marc Preston: I don't know, I'm two, three days out of
225
,125 --> 00:07:24,948
Marc Preston: the week and I'm like I just go into
226
,968 --> 00:07:25,551
Marc Preston: different places.
227
,612 --> 00:07:27,220
Marc Preston: Sounds like a lot of fun being, especially
228
,260 --> 00:07:29,747
Marc Preston: if you're an actor, being able to go a
229
,767 --> 00:07:30,249
Marc Preston: different place.
230
,289 --> 00:07:31,583
Marc Preston: After a while, though, he's like man, I
231
,623 --> 00:07:32,991
Marc Preston: just want to be in my own bed more.
232
,012 --> 00:07:34,600
Marc Preston: You know, and I guess that's something is
233
,941 --> 00:07:36,165
Marc Preston: if you're in your early twenties, it's a
234
,185 --> 00:07:37,549
Marc Preston: whole different game, you know?
235
,251 --> 00:07:41,001
Billy Magnussen: yeah, it was it was, it was exciting, it
236
,021 --> 00:07:41,122
Billy Magnussen: was.
237
,202 --> 00:07:42,767
Billy Magnussen: I think, you know, as men, we go through
238
,808 --> 00:07:46,059
Billy Magnussen: these stages in life as like ironically
239
,139 --> 00:07:48,828
Billy Magnussen: infants to we have stages and as men, I
240
,868 --> 00:07:51,236
Billy Magnussen: think we also have these stages where you
241
,457 --> 00:07:53,643
Billy Magnussen: are that adventure or that explorer and
242
,664 --> 00:07:56,040
Billy Magnussen: then you become I need my kingdom, I need
243
,061 --> 00:07:59,169
Billy Magnussen: to like, like, really find a home somehow.
244
,341 --> 00:08:01,686
Billy Magnussen: Um, yeah, it's.
245
,248 --> 00:08:03,893
Billy Magnussen: It can be exciting and thrilling and like
246
,335 --> 00:08:06,481
Billy Magnussen: again, my community is international, you
247
,522 --> 00:08:07,985
Billy Magnussen: know, I have friends all over the world,
248
,707 --> 00:08:10,860
Billy Magnussen: but I just want a home Now.
249
,900 --> 00:08:11,482
Marc Preston: that's now.
250
,522 --> 00:08:12,305
Marc Preston: Where did you all shoot?
251
,880 --> 00:08:15,506
Billy Magnussen: Where did you all shoot the survivor
252
,787 --> 00:08:17,783
Billy Magnussen: Budapest we shot that in Budapest and
253
,803 --> 00:08:20,303
Billy Magnussen: Hungary, yeah, and it was all around
254
,343 --> 00:08:23,507
Billy Magnussen: Hungary and that was an intense, intense
255
,607 --> 00:08:26,154
Billy Magnussen: experience, but very, very enriching and
256
,517 --> 00:08:30,387
Billy Magnussen: fulfilling as a as a performer and artist.
257
,640 --> 00:08:32,243
Billy Magnussen: It really meant something.
258
,424 --> 00:08:34,608
Billy Magnussen: You know, I was in another interview
259
,729 --> 00:08:38,282
Billy Magnussen: talking about it and I realized, like Ben
260
,342 --> 00:08:42,330
Billy Magnussen: Foster, a very Levinson, fantastic, sweet,
261
,370 --> 00:08:43,914
Billy Magnussen: sweet man legend.
262
,963 --> 00:08:47,241
Marc Preston: Oh he just killed it in this, I mean it
263
,261 --> 00:08:47,441
Marc Preston: just.
264
,303 --> 00:08:50,789
Marc Preston: There is like this between this time with
265
,829 --> 00:08:51,751
Marc Preston: you, uh.
266
,992 --> 00:08:53,145
Marc Preston: Well, I don't want to give anything away
267
,165 --> 00:08:54,052
Marc Preston: about the film, but there were different
268
,113 --> 00:08:54,557
Marc Preston: stages.
269
,577 --> 00:08:55,804
Marc Preston: You know we're doing different decades.
270
,320 --> 00:08:57,944
Marc Preston: He does this physical metamorphosis, you
271
,964 --> 00:08:58,064
Marc Preston: know.
272
,084 --> 00:09:00,451
Marc Preston: Hats off to the, you know here at the uh
273
,160 --> 00:09:03,141
Marc Preston: makeup department on that one, or you know,
274
,262 --> 00:09:05,766
Marc Preston: ben, ben, ben lost it all that way.
275
,846 --> 00:09:07,809
Billy Magnussen: He did it Really, he did it Wow.
276
,850 --> 00:09:08,110
Marc Preston: Yeah.
277
,900 --> 00:09:11,807
Billy Magnussen: And honestly and in such I don't want to
278
,827 --> 00:09:13,359
Billy Magnussen: speak for him, but he I've heard him say
279
,620 --> 00:09:18,309
Billy Magnussen: this that it was out of respect, like to to
280
,810 --> 00:09:20,774
Billy Magnussen: really tell the story, to feel the same,
281
,420 --> 00:09:24,307
Billy Magnussen: similar similarities, you know, of starving
282
,387 --> 00:09:26,511
Billy Magnussen: and, like you know, fighting for your life.
283
,652 --> 00:09:30,508
Billy Magnussen: Weirdly, um, yeah, he's a great guy, but
284
,608 --> 00:09:32,233
Billy Magnussen: like shooting the film with him, we shot
285
,253 --> 00:09:34,442
Billy Magnussen: for a month and it wasn't till we were
286
,462 --> 00:09:36,755
Billy Magnussen: finally shooting he started eating again.
287
,875 --> 00:09:38,542
Billy Magnussen: We sat down for a dinner and had a drink
288
,562 --> 00:09:40,840
Billy Magnussen: and it was like finally wonderful to meet
289
,341 --> 00:09:42,405
Billy Magnussen: Ben, you know.
290
,678 --> 00:09:44,684
Marc Preston: Yeah, yeah, I think some of the
291
,704 --> 00:09:46,339
Marc Preston: interactions between y'all and again, I
292
,359 --> 00:09:47,691
Marc Preston: like to be really careful not to give
293
,751 --> 00:09:48,988
Marc Preston: spoilers because then that's the biggest
294
,050 --> 00:09:49,375
Marc Preston: irritant.
295
,456 --> 00:09:50,735
Marc Preston: You know, you hear interviews like, oh well,
296
,796 --> 00:09:52,490
Marc Preston: I've kind of reverse engineered a big chunk
297
,530 --> 00:09:53,600
Marc Preston: of this movie now and I've heard the
298
,621 --> 00:09:53,904
Marc Preston: interview.
299
,308 --> 00:09:56,018
Marc Preston: I don't want to do that, but I will say, of
300
,078 --> 00:09:57,924
Marc Preston: course you know you're, you're playing a
301
,944 --> 00:09:58,706
Marc Preston: Nazi officer.
302
,936 --> 00:10:00,662
Marc Preston: And one of the questions I've always got,
303
,963 --> 00:10:03,362
Marc Preston: because when you're acting you got to be
304
,403 --> 00:10:03,844
Marc Preston: empathetic.
305
,915 --> 00:10:06,365
Marc Preston: I don't care how bad of a person in history
306
,385 --> 00:10:08,099
Marc Preston: you're playing, you got to kind of be
307
,159 --> 00:10:09,905
Marc Preston: empathetic to play them properly.
308
,945 --> 00:10:12,460
Marc Preston: Of course, but putting on a Nazi uniform
309
,161 --> 00:10:16,408
Marc Preston: and getting into you know that character,
310
,735 --> 00:10:17,558
Marc Preston: how does that feel?
311
,819 --> 00:10:19,505
Marc Preston: You know that kind of visceral experience.
312
,196 --> 00:10:21,461
Marc Preston: What's that experience like?
313
,235 --> 00:10:26,436
Billy Magnussen: I think everything, the experience, it's
314
,456 --> 00:10:27,419
Billy Magnussen: like the multitude.
315
,439 --> 00:10:30,180
Billy Magnussen: This question I feel, or I would like to
316
,681 --> 00:10:35,585
Billy Magnussen: express my answer in layers, as the with
317
,625 --> 00:10:37,015
Billy Magnussen: every project, you start with the script
318
,176 --> 00:10:38,501
Billy Magnussen: and what is the story of telling?
319
,136 --> 00:10:40,703
Billy Magnussen: So, getting into this character, I had
320
,743 --> 00:10:44,097
Billy Magnussen: become kind of like the biggest adversary
321
,438 --> 00:10:46,965
Billy Magnussen: or antagonist to Harry Haft through the
322
,005 --> 00:10:50,542
Billy Magnussen: story and the higher I could set the wall
323
,662 --> 00:10:53,077
Billy Magnussen: or mountain he had a climb, the better.
324
,438 --> 00:10:55,704
Billy Magnussen: I think we could influence the story or
325
,745 --> 00:10:56,426
Billy Magnussen: tell the story.
326
,319 --> 00:11:00,374
Billy Magnussen: Now that that was my objective, going into
327
,394 --> 00:11:02,884
Billy Magnussen: this process, to play against Ben Foster in
328
,904 --> 00:11:03,325
Billy Magnussen: such a way.
329
,538 --> 00:11:07,302
Billy Magnussen: But then putting on the outfit, there's so
330
,382 --> 00:11:09,130
Billy Magnussen: much history that goes with that wardrobe
331
,150 --> 00:11:17,479
Billy Magnussen: and that outfit and honestly, you, the
332
,499 --> 00:11:19,547
Billy Magnussen: costume kind of takes you a little bit.
333
,680 --> 00:11:21,624
Billy Magnussen: It really you feel it.
334
,740 --> 00:11:25,474
Billy Magnussen: They were well tailored, well put together,
335
,635 --> 00:11:26,237
Billy Magnussen: put together.
336
,438 --> 00:11:28,737
Billy Magnussen: Uniforms like they are sharp, we know who
337
,798 --> 00:11:30,103
Billy Magnussen: made it and stuff like that.
338
,195 --> 00:11:32,203
Billy Magnussen: Who was the original designer?
339
,556 --> 00:11:34,423
Marc Preston: Yeah, that's, but it was very well.
340
,495 --> 00:11:35,741
Marc Preston: I mean, you've had the toe.
341
,115 --> 00:11:37,842
Marc Preston: You're the epitome of a Nazi officer, which
342
,902 --> 00:11:40,119
Marc Preston: sounds derogatory, but no, it was kind of
343
,139 --> 00:11:40,600
Marc Preston: the way they.
344
,621 --> 00:11:42,165
Marc Preston: There was a big deal about the outward
345
,185 --> 00:11:43,438
Marc Preston: appearance you were making your.
346
,498 --> 00:11:44,883
Marc Preston: You're making your case for what you
347
,903 --> 00:11:46,701
Marc Preston: believe, and it was a wonderful bit of
348
,741 --> 00:11:47,243
Marc Preston: dialogue.
349
,575 --> 00:11:50,104
Marc Preston: This, this is not just Nazi, just being a
350
,164 --> 00:11:50,505
Marc Preston: bad guy.
351
,535 --> 00:11:51,499
Marc Preston: You know you're making your case.
352
,036 --> 00:11:55,158
Billy Magnussen: Yeah, again, it's these people, I think,
353
,258 --> 00:11:55,820
Billy Magnussen: over some.
354
,840 --> 00:11:57,806
Billy Magnussen: Dietrich Schneider, the character I played,
355
,076 --> 00:12:02,362
Billy Magnussen: he was an, he was an intellectual and
356
,442 --> 00:12:05,729
Billy Magnussen: educated man that knew that Germany was
357
,789 --> 00:12:09,641
Billy Magnussen: going to fall and he was trying to be an,
358
,881 --> 00:12:13,529
Billy Magnussen: not an optimist, an opportunist, to find
359
,629 --> 00:12:17,664
Billy Magnussen: his way out and find a way to, you know,
360
,346 --> 00:12:21,094
Billy Magnussen: have something after the fall of the Reich.
361
,114 --> 00:12:23,765
Billy Magnussen: You know, you know, so it's it's.
362
,146 --> 00:12:25,873
Billy Magnussen: I, yeah, I not definitely don't sympathize
363
,893 --> 00:12:29,042
Billy Magnussen: with him at all, but I understand, like a
364
,083 --> 00:12:31,048
Billy Magnussen: character being in his position of
365
,148 --> 00:12:33,572
Billy Magnussen: privilege, trying to find the best outcome
366
,613 --> 00:12:33,855
Billy Magnussen: for him.
367
,136 --> 00:12:36,589
Billy Magnussen: So it's so hard to talk about this thing
368
,730 --> 00:12:37,594
Billy Magnussen: and be gentle about it.
369
,695 --> 00:12:40,447
Billy Magnussen: It's really, you know, especially PC or
370
,611 --> 00:12:40,952
Billy Magnussen: whatever.
371
,458 --> 00:12:45,190
Billy Magnussen: But, like again, I I'm so proud of this
372
,210 --> 00:12:45,933
Billy Magnussen: work and creating this character and
373
,953 --> 00:12:50,347
Billy Magnussen: bringing it to life and I it's hard to.
374
,888 --> 00:12:52,814
Billy Magnussen: Again, in this, in this weird profession,
375
Acting in a Weighty Film
,854 --> 00:12:55,026
Billy Magnussen: I've gotten an opportunity to these crazy,
376
,046 --> 00:12:56,373
Billy Magnussen: crazy characters, like all over the place.
377
,582 --> 00:13:00,930
Billy Magnussen: But this one, you know it hits different
378
,950 --> 00:13:02,295
Billy Magnussen: because it's, I think if you fake it at all,
379
,041 --> 00:13:07,153
Billy Magnussen: or you you wink at it or you comment on it,
380
,253 --> 00:13:07,695
Billy Magnussen: you lose it.
381
,321 --> 00:13:09,435
Billy Magnussen: That's a great way of putting it.
382
,455 --> 00:13:10,627
Marc Preston: You comment on our EV softball at all.
383
,697 --> 00:13:13,247
Marc Preston: I mean you've really got to go for it.
384
,415 --> 00:13:16,809
Marc Preston: I mean you're up to bat, you've got to be
385
,829 --> 00:13:20,365
Marc Preston: the guy you know, yeah, but that what now
386
,405 --> 00:13:22,774
Marc Preston: Barry Levinson has, I mean credible body of
387
,795 --> 00:13:22,875
Marc Preston: work.
388
,137 --> 00:13:24,526
Marc Preston: I mean I just I'm just wondering, in
389
,546 --> 00:13:25,713
Marc Preston: something like this, which, like you're
390
,754 --> 00:13:29,575
Marc Preston: saying it's got to be handled properly,
391
,102 --> 00:13:32,890
Marc Preston: what was the experience like being in a
392
,930 --> 00:13:34,941
Marc Preston: film that carries this kind of weight but
393
,962 --> 00:13:35,847
Marc Preston: also is just, it's just.
394
,868 --> 00:13:36,915
Marc Preston: It was such a great film.
395
,076 --> 00:13:38,102
Marc Preston: I'm so glad I had a chance to catch it the
396
,122 --> 00:13:39,330
Marc Preston: last time with kids because, like I told
397
,350 --> 00:13:42,571
Marc Preston: them, it's important for them to see things
398
,591 --> 00:13:43,679
Marc Preston: because as years go by, you know, these
399
,699 --> 00:13:45,535
Marc Preston: stories become more stuff in history books.
400
,535 --> 00:13:46,083
Marc Preston: Can't forget this shit.
401
,936 --> 00:13:48,155
Billy Magnussen: We can't forget this shit.
402
,378 --> 00:13:49,492
Billy Magnussen: We see it happening with Russian and
403
,512 --> 00:13:49,674
Billy Magnussen: Ukraine.
404
,141 --> 00:13:52,928
Billy Magnussen: It's so important not to forget this shit.
405
,470 --> 00:13:54,093
Billy Magnussen: You know and you can't.
406
,113 --> 00:13:54,695
Billy Magnussen: You can't get light about it.
407
,580 --> 00:13:57,329
Billy Magnussen: You can't get light about this because it
408
,350 --> 00:13:58,295
Billy Magnussen: is history will repeat itself if we do not
409
,436 --> 00:14:02,084
Billy Magnussen: remember these stories and obviously we see
410
,104 --> 00:14:03,350
Billy Magnussen: it happening and like we are in a
411
,370 --> 00:14:05,980
Billy Magnussen: generation where I think they are
412
,020 --> 00:14:09,525
Billy Magnussen: forgetting and I do truly believe that and
413
,545 --> 00:14:11,577
Billy Magnussen: it's sad, it's sad, it's sad.
414
,278 --> 00:14:13,641
Billy Magnussen: You know, I'm sorry I get a little
415
,681 --> 00:14:17,027
Billy Magnussen: passionate about this, but yeah, you have
416
,047 --> 00:14:17,669
Billy Magnussen: to order?
417
,035 --> 00:14:18,978
Marc Preston: No, I think I think it should.
418
,998 --> 00:14:20,122
Marc Preston: Like you said the Ukraine thing.
419
,935 --> 00:14:21,878
Marc Preston: You watch the news and you go.
420
,898 --> 00:14:23,664
Marc Preston: You know the DNA of what was going on.
421
,764 --> 00:14:26,360
Marc Preston: You know here in the 1930s, 40s.
422
,400 --> 00:14:28,123
Marc Preston: You're seeing some of that same DNA showing
423
,203 --> 00:14:30,328
Marc Preston: up with Russia and what's going on Ukraine.
424
,996 --> 00:14:33,344
Billy Magnussen: They're using the same red red rhetoric,
425
,805 --> 00:14:35,672
Billy Magnussen: apparently in Russia, about them being
426
,712 --> 00:14:38,222
Billy Magnussen: Nazis in Ukraine, to sell the story to them.
427
,435 --> 00:14:41,545
Billy Magnussen: It's like what, the I don't know man.
428
,196 --> 00:14:44,682
Billy Magnussen: Sorry, we're going off tangent, but yeah,
429
,104 --> 00:14:45,565
Billy Magnussen: you can't.
430
,775 --> 00:14:47,919
Marc Preston: That's what I think the likes of the weight
431
,180 --> 00:14:48,722
Marc Preston: of the film.
432
,235 --> 00:14:51,884
Marc Preston: I remember being, oh God, you know my 12,
433
,904 --> 00:14:54,813
Marc Preston: 11, 12, 13, and you'd see some of these.
434
,833 --> 00:14:57,303
Marc Preston: You know the Sunday school at Senegal and
435
,323 --> 00:14:59,352
Marc Preston: you'd have some of the Nazi, obviously, our
436
,373 --> 00:15:00,858
Marc Preston: concentration camp survivors, with the
437
,898 --> 00:15:01,821
Marc Preston: tattoos on their arms.
438
,483 --> 00:15:03,918
Marc Preston: You know the show and they did have a
439
,978 --> 00:15:04,841
Marc Preston: little bit of that.
440
,335 --> 00:15:06,959
Marc Preston: They would tell the story, but it was not
441
,019 --> 00:15:09,867
Marc Preston: something that they really were, you know.
442
,955 --> 00:15:11,079
Marc Preston: You kind of tell they were doing because
443
,099 --> 00:15:12,837
Marc Preston: they felt it was important they were.
444
,857 --> 00:15:15,144
Marc Preston: They had seen some things in life, you know.
445
,816 --> 00:15:18,585
Billy Magnussen: Well, yeah, well, that's what this brings.
446
,995 --> 00:15:21,802
Billy Magnussen: I think Barry did so well with this film is
447
,842 --> 00:15:24,468
Billy Magnussen: that we don't know what people are carrying
448
,756 --> 00:15:27,780
Billy Magnussen: all the time they're carrying this weight.
449
,195 --> 00:15:29,902
Billy Magnussen: Ptsd is a real thing.
450
,095 --> 00:15:35,244
Billy Magnussen: Like no matter where we go, people have the
451
,425 --> 00:15:37,769
Billy Magnussen: world on their back and we have no clue.
452
,895 --> 00:15:41,160
Billy Magnussen: We don't know anyone's story and what their
453
,220 --> 00:15:41,761
Billy Magnussen: luggage is.
454
,841 --> 00:15:42,643
Billy Magnussen: Their baggage is.
455
,355 --> 00:15:52,259
Marc Preston: What did Barry Levinson give y'all as far
456
,319 --> 00:15:55,184
Marc Preston: as any kind of notes playing a Nazi officer,
457
,471 --> 00:15:57,155
Marc Preston: I mean, did he come to you and just say,
458
,195 --> 00:15:59,891
Marc Preston: hey, bring me whatever you got, or did he
459
,932 --> 00:16:01,455
Marc Preston: have something specific for you that he
460
,515 --> 00:16:02,277
Marc Preston: wanted to elicit?
461
,130 --> 00:16:05,611
Billy Magnussen: I can't.
462
,952 --> 00:16:09,238
Billy Magnussen: You know, we did shoot it three and a half,
463
,298 --> 00:16:10,039
Billy Magnussen: four years ago.
464
,610 --> 00:16:15,196
Billy Magnussen: So I just remember having a lot of
465
,236 --> 00:16:17,120
Billy Magnussen: discussions about what is the story we're
466
,160 --> 00:16:17,461
Billy Magnussen: telling.
467
,270 --> 00:16:19,454
Billy Magnussen: What is the story we're telling?
468
,678 --> 00:16:21,440
Billy Magnussen: I did my research.
469
,650 --> 00:16:23,255
Billy Magnussen: I think the you know half the film.
470
,315 --> 00:16:25,101
Billy Magnussen: I speak German to German officers.
471
,170 --> 00:16:27,196
Billy Magnussen: The other half is with the accent.
472
,550 --> 00:16:31,678
Billy Magnussen: I think he gave me a lot of freedom to
473
,778 --> 00:16:35,106
Billy Magnussen: breathe life into a character you know
474
,146 --> 00:16:37,673
Billy Magnussen: create and drastically, and he would, you
475
,693 --> 00:16:40,059
Billy Magnussen: know, guide me here this way or that way as
476
,119 --> 00:16:40,841
Billy Magnussen: I move through it.
477
,831 --> 00:16:47,002
Billy Magnussen: I felt a lot of empowerment given by Barry.
478
,013 --> 00:16:51,930
Billy Magnussen: He endowed power to me in this process.
479
,493 --> 00:16:53,418
Marc Preston: Because I'm always curious.
480
,438 --> 00:16:55,006
Marc Preston: You know, as an actor I'm not clearly of
481
,026 --> 00:16:56,893
Marc Preston: knack of nearly as much as you, but you
482
,913 --> 00:16:58,597
Marc Preston: hear stories about some, some, some
483
,637 --> 00:17:00,061
Marc Preston: directors going through many, many, many
484
,081 --> 00:17:01,254
Marc Preston: takes and you have somebody like Clint
485
,274 --> 00:17:01,616
Marc Preston: Eastwood.
486
,657 --> 00:17:03,850
Marc Preston: It's like, all right, go, you know, maybe
487
,071 --> 00:17:05,576
Marc Preston: one take lucky if you get to kind of a
488
,596 --> 00:17:06,319
Marc Preston: thing and you're on.
489
,430 --> 00:17:07,998
Marc Preston: Is this something where y'all really worked
490
,078 --> 00:17:09,164
Marc Preston: at it or is it no?
491
,224 --> 00:17:12,576
Billy Magnussen: no, man, I do like that big scene you're
492
,596 --> 00:17:13,278
Billy Magnussen: talking about.
493
,350 --> 00:17:16,818
Billy Magnussen: I think I had three, three or four runs at
494
,858 --> 00:17:16,918
Billy Magnussen: it.
495
,978 --> 00:17:17,359
Billy Magnussen: That was it.
496
,110 --> 00:17:19,330
Marc Preston: Well, and did you learn German for this, or
497
,350 --> 00:17:21,336
Marc Preston: is that something that that you already
498
,356 --> 00:17:21,477
Marc Preston: kind?
499
,497 --> 00:17:23,693
Billy Magnussen: of had in your really no, I had to learn
500
,713 --> 00:17:24,435
Billy Magnussen: German, man.
501
,438 --> 00:17:26,140
Billy Magnussen: That was crazy.
502
,610 --> 00:17:27,495
Marc Preston: You know the thing I love.
503
,796 --> 00:17:29,686
Marc Preston: You know another thing I will say and I'm
504
,806 --> 00:17:31,693
Marc Preston: lucky that I've spoken with a few people
505
,733 --> 00:17:34,259
Marc Preston: like this that I love being able to watch
506
,279 --> 00:17:36,212
Marc Preston: people with no dialogue, just watching them,
507
,452 --> 00:17:38,318
Marc Preston: you know, and then like you're just an
508
,338 --> 00:17:39,201
Marc Preston: interesting guy to watch.
509
,241 --> 00:17:40,954
Marc Preston: You know, you'd not just, you didn't even
510
,974 --> 00:17:42,819
Marc Preston: necessarily need the dialogue, because I
511
,839 --> 00:17:45,174
Marc Preston: think a lot of, a lot of in that
512
,234 --> 00:17:47,041
Marc Preston: interaction, you know, given the
513
,081 --> 00:17:49,230
Marc Preston: relationship, yet is a lot of non spoken
514
,310 --> 00:17:51,177
Marc Preston: dialogue, a lot of non spoken stuff's going
515
,317 --> 00:17:51,378
Marc Preston: on.
516
,830 --> 00:17:53,996

Marc Preston: does it.
538
,439 --> 00:18:35,281
Marc Preston: Does it come back to you?
539
,290 --> 00:18:37,503
Marc Preston: I mean, I've heard many actors talk about
540
,543 --> 00:18:38,810
Marc Preston: you know the thing they remember about the
541
,870 --> 00:18:40,094
Marc Preston: movie is necessarily a movie, but the
542
,174 --> 00:18:42,170
Marc Preston: making of it is it still pretty fresh, like
543
,190 --> 00:18:43,554
Marc Preston: you can kind of go back there and remember
544
,556 --> 00:18:45,840
Marc Preston: the beats and the moments.
545
,930 --> 00:18:48,617
Billy Magnussen: There are moments I definitely remember.
546
,492 --> 00:18:51,659
Billy Magnussen: I remember stepping on that set first in
547
,679 --> 00:18:54,949
Billy Magnussen: your original we recreated and stepping
548
,009 --> 00:18:57,579
Billy Magnussen: onto that set and feeling that weight and
549
,619 --> 00:19:00,249
Billy Magnussen: feeling the air and just feeling holy shit.
550
,791 --> 00:19:03,056
Billy Magnussen: And then you dress it up with the actors
551
,136 --> 00:19:04,580
Billy Magnussen: and the environment and you're just like,
552
,522 --> 00:19:08,018
Billy Magnussen: oh God, it's a visceral thing.
553
,072 --> 00:19:10,616
Marc Preston: I think he directed the crap out of that
554
,656 --> 00:19:11,739
Marc Preston: thing, man, it was just so.
555
,799 --> 00:19:12,721
Billy Magnussen: I think he did too.
556
,872 --> 00:19:15,396
Marc Preston: One of my favorite things about it and
557
,877 --> 00:19:17,241
Marc Preston: again, I'm not giving me anything away, but
558
,261 --> 00:19:19,617
Marc Preston: there, of course, harry Haffse, boxer, he's
559
,657 --> 00:19:22,897
Marc Preston: boxing, he's in front of you know, for the
560
,958 --> 00:19:26,094
Marc Preston: Nazis it's just the looks, and just the
561
,155 --> 00:19:29,041
Marc Preston: sequences of looks, on the face of the Jews
562
,061 --> 00:19:31,494

Marc Preston: It was such a great film just to watch and
566
,498 --> 00:19:38,982
Marc Preston: just kind of take in and I think it's it
567
,290 --> 00:19:40,293
Marc Preston: and I think it's going to go down as
568
,313 --> 00:19:43,040
Marc Preston: another one is great educational type films,
569
,240 --> 00:19:45,194

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

571
,919 --> 00:19:47,240
Marc Preston: happened.
572
,770 --> 00:19:49,979

578
,730 --> 00:20:00,437
Marc Preston: I mean your folks is this, is this in your
579
,457 --> 00:20:00,557
Marc Preston: DNA?
580
,597 --> 00:20:04,997
Billy Magnussen: No, I went, you know, funny enough, I think
581
,319 --> 00:20:07,789
Billy Magnussen: I had a great grandpa from Lithuania who
582
,810 --> 00:20:10,057
Billy Magnussen: was an actor apparently.
583
,137 --> 00:20:10,659

584
,410 --> 00:20:13,298

Billy Magnussen: She also was a personal trainer for a lot
589
,557 --> 00:20:22,757
Billy Magnussen: of her.
590
,870 --> 00:20:28,799
Billy Magnussen: Yeah, but no, I don't know where it really
591
,899 --> 00:20:30,122
Billy Magnussen: came from per se.
592
,390 --> 00:20:32,955
Billy Magnussen: I think there was just a moment in my life
593
,016 --> 00:20:36,683
Billy Magnussen: where I found something that intrigued me
594
,232 --> 00:20:38,819
Billy Magnussen: and I kind of just went down that road and
595
,080 --> 00:20:41,410
Billy Magnussen: it kind of like has led me on this journey
596
,571 --> 00:20:42,796
Billy Magnussen: that has led me to here.
597
,330 --> 00:20:47,313
Billy Magnussen: You know it's, it's funny, each project
598
,373 --> 00:20:49,361
Billy Magnussen: that I've ever done, like again, like I
599
,381 --> 00:20:51,151
Billy Magnussen: think you know, as a performer and artist
600
,692 --> 00:20:54,917
Billy Magnussen: you can't really choose what jobs you get,
601
,779 --> 00:20:59,530
Billy Magnussen: but you can choose what you pursue and you
602
,550 --> 00:21:01,796
Billy Magnussen: can work hard on what you do get.
603
,650 --> 00:21:06,355
Billy Magnussen: And I've realized every project that has
604
,375 --> 00:21:08,240
Billy Magnussen: come across my lap and I had the fortune
605
,300 --> 00:21:10,673
Billy Magnussen: and opportunity to work on has developed me
606
,733 --> 00:21:14,560
Billy Magnussen: more as a man and made me the man that I am
607
,600 --> 00:21:15,101
Billy Magnussen: today.
608

Marc Preston: Really, that is that is really impressive,
813
,707 --> 00:28:41,651
Marc Preston: because I I don't.
814
,514 --> 00:28:44,300
Marc Preston: I'm really bad at memorizing lines.
815
,441 --> 00:28:45,465
Marc Preston: I've got my whole system.
816
,881 --> 00:28:47,347
Marc Preston: I teach voiceover and I know, I teach my,
817
,387 --> 00:28:48,129
Marc Preston: teach all my students.
818
,642 --> 00:28:49,728
Marc Preston: I got into this thing where I would always
819
,788 --> 00:28:51,677
Marc Preston: highlight the other actors lines right
820
,718 --> 00:28:52,180
Marc Preston: before mine.
821
,261 --> 00:28:53,480
Marc Preston: So I knew, because the guy like okay, I
822
,500 --> 00:28:54,665
Marc Preston: know gonna react to that, and then
823
,785 --> 00:28:56,572
Marc Preston: theoretically that that was my little trick,
824
,672 --> 00:28:58,579
Marc Preston: remembering what they were saying would
825
,679 --> 00:28:59,783
Marc Preston: help me Remember what I was saying.
826
,244 --> 00:29:02,251
Marc Preston: But my brain, normal, you know.
827
,401 --> 00:29:04,122
Billy Magnussen: Know that works.
828
,182 --> 00:29:05,766
Billy Magnussen: Again, everyone has their own approach to
829
,806 --> 00:29:05,986
Billy Magnussen: this.
830
,026 --> 00:29:08,210
Billy Magnussen: That's what's kind of the amazing part of.
831
,912 --> 00:29:10,094
Billy Magnussen: That's why you're an artist, right?
832
,980 --> 00:29:12,806
Marc Preston: Exactly one of the things I'm curious.
833
,826 --> 00:29:13,909
Marc Preston: But you said mentioned you were directed by
834
,949 --> 00:29:14,451
Marc Preston: David Schwimmer.
835
,500 --> 00:29:16,307
Marc Preston: What was like being directed by Ike Baron
836
,347 --> 00:29:18,636
Marc Preston: holds, because I'm just like that that the
837
,716 --> 00:29:19,620
Marc Preston: oath the oath.
838
,901 --> 00:29:22,127
Marc Preston: I was like there's some about that guy that
839
,188 --> 00:29:24,885
Marc Preston: is like he just I Don't know why, I want to
840
,905 --> 00:29:26,453
Marc Preston: know more about that experience, but I mean
841
,855 --> 00:29:27,900
Marc Preston: he seems like the coolest dude.
842
,221 --> 00:29:29,326
Marc Preston: What was that like being directed by?
843
,241 --> 00:29:31,325
Billy Magnussen: Ike's a great guy.
844
,426 --> 00:29:33,373
Billy Magnussen: Ike's a really fun guy.
845
,573 --> 00:29:37,749
Billy Magnussen: He is passionate, he is driven and man.
846
,231 --> 00:29:38,733
Billy Magnussen: He's just.
847
,773 --> 00:29:40,560
Billy Magnussen: He really made a great environment.
848
,003 --> 00:29:42,753
Billy Magnussen: It was funny to like be acting in the scene
849
,934 --> 00:29:46,039
Billy Magnussen: as he's directing it, so like you ever see
850
,059 --> 00:29:48,888
Billy Magnussen: that Cut of like Barbara Streisand
851
,928 --> 00:29:51,938
Billy Magnussen: directing was it gentle or what was the
852
,978 --> 00:29:52,660
Billy Magnussen: thing she directed?
853
,001 --> 00:29:55,051
Billy Magnussen: I haven't seen any scenes of her directing
854
,111 --> 00:29:57,846
Billy Magnussen: it, so yeah, so she's like in a tense scene
855
,886 --> 00:29:59,571
Billy Magnussen: and, as the other actors yelling at her,
856
,001 --> 00:30:01,485
Billy Magnussen: she's like in the scene but telling the
857
,526 --> 00:30:03,050
Billy Magnussen: camera to like, get over here, catch it
858
,090 --> 00:30:04,627
Billy Magnussen: from here, but let's take it back, take it
859
,647 --> 00:30:04,788
Billy Magnussen: back.
860
,888 --> 00:30:07,000
Billy Magnussen: And she's still in it while directing it.
861
,080 --> 00:30:07,402
Billy Magnussen: So it was.
862
,904 --> 00:30:10,093
Billy Magnussen: It was a bit chaotic but at the same time
863
,234 --> 00:30:13,447
Billy Magnussen: so fun, you know, because, like I don't
864
,467 --> 00:30:15,374
Billy Magnussen: know independent films that you can, you're
865
,394 --> 00:30:16,940
Billy Magnussen: just trying to grip it, rip a little bit.
866

Marc Preston: So we're in a time right now that there's
876
,395 --> 00:30:34,500
Marc Preston: so much content to digest.
877
,302 --> 00:30:36,909
Marc Preston: I'm assuming everybody who wanted to see it
878
,270 --> 00:30:38,054

884
,925 --> 00:30:52,752
Marc Preston: who you really are for some time in that
885
,792 --> 00:30:55,568
Marc Preston: film, but what was it like?
886
,949 --> 00:30:57,093
Marc Preston: Just kind of being on set.
887
,134 --> 00:30:59,965
Marc Preston: Because that's it's a very I Think it's a
888
,985 --> 00:31:01,758
Marc Preston: kind of a unique club to be able to say,
889
,798 --> 00:31:02,946
Marc Preston: first of all, you've been in a Bond film
890
,006 --> 00:31:05,180
Marc Preston: and you've been to go toe-to-toe with Bond,
891
,581 --> 00:31:06,183
Marc Preston: you know what was.
892
,704 --> 00:31:08,289
Marc Preston: Was that kind of have to pinch yourself
893
,389 --> 00:31:08,890
Marc Preston: ever and go?
894
,011 --> 00:31:09,973
Marc Preston: Okay, I'm doing this thing.
895
,398 --> 00:31:14,373
Billy Magnussen: I Was in a really unique place with my life
896
,413 --> 00:31:15,980
Billy Magnussen: when I was doing that project.
897
,802 --> 00:31:19,268
Billy Magnussen: I would have to say first for personal
898
,308 --> 00:31:23,426
Billy Magnussen: reasons, but yeah, it's not until it came
899
,527 --> 00:31:25,335
Billy Magnussen: out that I really pinched myself because,
900
,355 --> 00:31:26,560
Billy Magnussen: like when you you're doing the work.
901
,681 --> 00:31:27,928
Billy Magnussen: You're doing the work and you're trying to
902
,968 --> 00:31:29,880
Billy Magnussen: like you know you're doing your job.
903
,144 --> 00:31:33,310
Billy Magnussen: So it's actually it's been when it came out
904
,350 --> 00:31:35,697
Billy Magnussen: that I like realized what I was being a
905
,737 --> 00:31:36,138
Billy Magnussen: part of.
906
,620 --> 00:31:38,866
Billy Magnussen: Yeah, here and there I was like, oh wow, in
907
,887 --> 00:31:40,111
Billy Magnussen: a Bond movie, that's cool.
908
,862 --> 00:31:42,385
Billy Magnussen: But it wasn't.
909
,506 --> 00:31:43,652
Billy Magnussen: It really wasn't, till it came out.
910
,752 --> 00:31:45,801
Billy Magnussen: So, like in those moments I'm just trying
911
,821 --> 00:31:48,527
Billy Magnussen: to be like I hope no one sees it, or no one
912
,548 --> 00:31:49,590
Billy Magnussen: sees that I don't know what.
913
,790 --> 00:31:51,013
Billy Magnussen: I don't know what I'm doing, you know.
914
,961 --> 00:31:53,323
Marc Preston: You know.
915
,624 --> 00:31:55,431
Marc Preston: So no, I think you did a wonderful job, man,
916
,491 --> 00:31:56,013
Marc Preston: I really did.
917
,053 --> 00:31:56,957
Marc Preston: I think that was just.
918
,559 --> 00:31:59,708
Marc Preston: You know how things wrapped up between the
919
,728 --> 00:32:00,552
Marc Preston: two of you in the movie.
920
,572 --> 00:32:01,957
Marc Preston: You know how many people could say Bond did
921
,978 --> 00:32:02,540
Marc Preston: that to somebody.
922
,560 --> 00:32:04,066
Marc Preston: It's like I'm one of those guys bond took
923
,166 --> 00:32:04,287
Marc Preston: out.
924
,361 --> 00:32:06,466
Billy Magnussen: Yeah, so right.
925
,847 --> 00:32:08,915
Marc Preston: But you know you said you now you shot the
926
,955 --> 00:32:10,060
Marc Preston: survivor before that.
927
,702 --> 00:32:13,650
Billy Magnussen: I think I was shooting the survivor and the
928
,690 --> 00:32:16,799
Billy Magnussen: sopranos movie like right at the same time
929
,839 --> 00:32:17,120
Billy Magnussen: period.
930
,461 --> 00:32:19,065
Billy Magnussen: They were like right on top of each other.
931
,626 --> 00:32:21,731
Marc Preston: I still, I still want to see, I still have
932
,771 --> 00:32:23,929
Marc Preston: not seen that there's so much like again,
933
,949 --> 00:32:24,834
Marc Preston: there's so much stuff out there.
934
,855 --> 00:32:25,740
Marc Preston: I want to see the sopranos.
935
,122 --> 00:32:28,392
Billy Magnussen: So much content, man, I can't, I can't even
936
,432 --> 00:32:29,095
Billy Magnussen: keep up with it.
937
,196 --> 00:32:30,100
Billy Magnussen: There's so much content.
938
,361 --> 00:32:31,344
Marc Preston: Who did you play in the?
939
,404 --> 00:32:33,290
Marc Preston: In the sopranos movie is about playing
940
,310 --> 00:32:33,751
Marc Preston: walnuts.
941
,561 --> 00:32:38,651
Marc Preston: Yeah that's that again.
942
,041 --> 00:32:40,285
Marc Preston: There's some things I got to put down on
943
,305 --> 00:32:40,666
Marc Preston: the list.
944
,686 --> 00:32:41,830
Marc Preston: You know, now my kids a little bit older,
945
,890 --> 00:32:42,964
Marc Preston: now we all gonna sky-guy.
946
,466 --> 00:32:45,563
Marc Preston: Whatever we're watching, it has to be kind
947
,584 --> 00:32:47,048
Marc Preston: of sort of like not family-friendly
948
,089 --> 00:32:48,384
Marc Preston: necessarily, but something that everybody
949
,424 --> 00:32:49,148
Marc Preston: would want to watch.
950
,570 --> 00:32:50,856
Marc Preston: But you know the kids, you know they're
951
,896 --> 00:32:51,318
Marc Preston: they'll.
952
,559 --> 00:32:53,123
Marc Preston: You know, like the girls last night just
953
,143 --> 00:32:54,687
Marc Preston: kind of drifted in their telephones during
954
,707 --> 00:32:55,650
Marc Preston: the movie during part of it.
955
,670 --> 00:32:57,924
Marc Preston: I'm like watch the movie More kids.
956
,944 --> 00:33:02,082
Marc Preston: We didn't bring the bones in a movie, but
957
,122 --> 00:33:03,949
Marc Preston: go, we walked up, hell getting there.
958
,241 --> 00:33:08,488
Marc Preston: Both ways and but the survivor for that,
959
,829 --> 00:33:10,232
Marc Preston: for that film I think it's gonna really
960
,272 --> 00:33:12,726
Marc Preston: come out In the grand scheme thing is gonna
961
,746 --> 00:33:13,570
Marc Preston: be an important movie.
962
,831 --> 00:33:15,438
Marc Preston: It was just so well-directed, it was very
963
,479 --> 00:33:18,386
Marc Preston: well-written and I just think that you just
964
,587 --> 00:33:20,511
Marc Preston: executed across where I like the way you
965
,571 --> 00:33:21,453
Marc Preston: kept showing up.
966
,781 --> 00:33:24,926
Marc Preston: Just it was almost like you kept showing up
967
,127 --> 00:33:28,185
Marc Preston: as a very pivotal memory Throughout the
968
,225 --> 00:33:29,676
Marc Preston: film and I think that that's I mean.
969
,696 --> 00:33:31,763
Marc Preston: Without you, I think it would be harder to
970
,823 --> 00:33:34,790
Marc Preston: to clearly define what Harry Haft's story
971
,870 --> 00:33:35,130
Marc Preston: was.
972
,425 --> 00:33:42,726
Billy Magnussen: I'm wondering.
973
,746 --> 00:33:44,329
Billy Magnussen: To go back to the past, is that cool?
974
,670 --> 00:33:45,732
Marc Preston: Absolutely, absolutely.
975
,860 --> 00:33:48,564
Billy Magnussen: So you were saying, like you know, pinch
976
,584 --> 00:33:52,253
Billy Magnussen: yourself moments with the meaningfulness of,
977
,380 --> 00:33:53,866
Billy Magnussen: like, doing Bond or something like that,
978
,300 --> 00:33:57,392
Billy Magnussen: it's funny doing the survivor that it felt
979
,473 --> 00:33:57,854
Billy Magnussen: different.
980
,195 --> 00:33:59,962
Billy Magnussen: You know, when you do a movie like that, it
981
,022 --> 00:34:02,128
Billy Magnussen: feels different.
982
,340 --> 00:34:05,945
Billy Magnussen: There's a lot more not weight, but yeah,
983
,986 --> 00:34:08,351
Billy Magnussen: maybe weight, but there's an importance
984
,491 --> 00:34:09,132
Billy Magnussen: element to it.
985
,001 --> 00:34:13,298
Billy Magnussen: There's something that you're yeah, pride.
986
,700 --> 00:34:16,287
Billy Magnussen: There's something there that you're like I
987
,407 --> 00:34:17,911
Billy Magnussen: really want to tell this story.
988
,100 --> 00:34:18,441
Billy Magnussen: This is.
989
,722 --> 00:34:21,308
Billy Magnussen: There's something more than just a big
990
,488 --> 00:34:22,772
Billy Magnussen: action scene or something.
991
,040 --> 00:34:28,010
Billy Magnussen: It's like we're really expressing life.
992
,041 --> 00:34:31,365
Marc Preston: I think it's a great, I think it's a
993
,505 --> 00:34:33,110
Marc Preston: wonderful film to watch right now.
994
,641 --> 00:34:35,912
Marc Preston: I think that what we were talking about
995
,932 --> 00:34:37,299
Marc Preston: before I mean you're talking about what's
996
,319 --> 00:34:38,844
Marc Preston: happening in Ukraine and Russia and you're
997
,864 --> 00:34:42,555
Marc Preston: looking at the okay, what's old is new
998
,595 --> 00:34:44,400
Marc Preston: again and the worst way possible.
999
,722 --> 00:34:45,989
Marc Preston: It's just sort of like okay, what's that
Speaker:1000
,029 --> 00:34:47,839
Marc Preston: part of our human experience that just
Speaker:1001
,899 --> 00:34:49,425
Marc Preston: can't seem to be extinguished, to keep
Speaker:1002
,485 --> 00:34:49,967
Marc Preston: showing up?
Speaker:1003
,981 --> 00:34:53,529
Marc Preston: Ultimate power curbs baby, Indeed, indeed,
Speaker:1004
,720 --> 00:34:54,323
Marc Preston: but it was.
Speaker:1005
,825 --> 00:34:55,547
Marc Preston: But it was kind of nice.
Speaker:1006
,660 --> 00:34:57,410
Marc Preston: I did have that little opportunity within
Speaker:1007
,430 --> 00:34:59,320
Marc Preston: the film to kind of know for you, to kind
Speaker:1008
,340 --> 00:35:01,785
Marc Preston: of express your as the character,
Speaker:1009
,826 --> 00:35:03,710
Marc Preston: expressing why you're doing this, what you
Speaker:1010
,730 --> 00:35:06,423
Marc Preston: think about it and being philosophical
Speaker:1011
,464 --> 00:35:06,845
Marc Preston: about it.
Speaker:1012
,085 --> 00:35:08,409
Marc Preston: Like I said, it's a very well written film
Speaker:1013
,449 --> 00:35:10,844
Marc Preston: and I cannot recommend it highly enough but
Speaker:1014
,944 --> 00:35:13,651
Marc Preston: also want to touch on made for love.
Speaker:1015
,140 --> 00:35:16,587
Marc Preston: Admittedly, I've only seen one episode from
