141
00:04:17,485 --> 00:04:19,388
Marc Preston: So you're you're acting now, but am I
142
00:04:19,428 --> 00:04:21,251
Marc Preston: correct in thinking you did some modeling
143
00:04:21,812 --> 00:04:22,514
Marc Preston: as well, correct?
144
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:25,085
Logan Macrae: Yeah, that's kind of kind of how I fell
145
00:04:25,145 --> 00:04:26,088
Logan Macrae: into the acting.
146
00:04:27,150 --> 00:04:28,454
Logan Macrae: I was going to school I actually went to
147
00:04:28,494 --> 00:04:31,000
Logan Macrae: school in in Boulder University of Colorado
148
00:04:32,122 --> 00:04:36,791
Logan Macrae: and one summer I was like you know what,
149
00:04:37,031 --> 00:04:38,474
Logan Macrae: I'm going to go out to New York City, try
150
00:04:38,514 --> 00:04:39,756
Logan Macrae: this whole modeling thing.
151
00:04:40,597 --> 00:04:42,000
Logan Macrae: And I never left.
152
00:04:42,462 --> 00:04:44,849
Logan Macrae: I ended up staying in New York City for 12
153
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:45,632
Logan Macrae: plus years.
154
00:04:45,692 --> 00:04:47,418
Logan Macrae: I have some family on the East Coast so I
155
00:04:47,458 --> 00:04:48,000
Logan Macrae: had them close by.
156
00:04:48,682 --> 00:04:52,676
Logan Macrae: But that's how I ended up in New York and
157
00:04:52,736 --> 00:04:54,583
Logan Macrae: ended up staying there for a while and
158
00:04:54,623 --> 00:04:57,859
Logan Macrae: while modeling slowly fell into all of the
159
00:04:57,879 --> 00:04:58,000
Logan Macrae: acting.
160
00:04:59,367 --> 00:05:00,332
Marc Preston: Now the modeling.
161
00:05:00,754 --> 00:05:02,000
Marc Preston: Was it mostly like runway print?
162
00:05:03,061 --> 00:05:03,762
Logan Macrae: It was mostly.
163
00:05:04,003 --> 00:05:06,025
Logan Macrae: It was mostly print stuff.
164
00:05:06,466 --> 00:05:09,410
Logan Macrae: I mean, the runway stuff is completely
165
00:05:09,490 --> 00:05:09,911
Logan Macrae: different.
166
00:05:10,051 --> 00:05:10,191
Logan Macrae: It's.
167
00:05:10,712 --> 00:05:14,216
Logan Macrae: You know, I'm more of a athletic build,
168
00:05:14,276 --> 00:05:16,639
Logan Macrae: whereas the runway was a little bit thinner
169
00:05:16,659 --> 00:05:16,980
Logan Macrae: than what I was.
170
00:05:17,902 --> 00:05:20,347
Logan Macrae: I grew up playing sports and whatnot, so
171
00:05:21,129 --> 00:05:23,682
Logan Macrae: the runway stuff wasn't quite for me, yeah
172
00:05:23,802 --> 00:05:25,245
Logan Macrae: that's yeah.
173
00:05:25,265 --> 00:05:26,688
Marc Preston: The closest I came to a runway was I
174
00:05:26,728 --> 00:05:28,432
Marc Preston: learned how to fly back in the 90s.
175
00:05:28,472 --> 00:05:29,895
Marc Preston: You know it's the only runway they let me
176
00:05:30,056 --> 00:05:30,156
Marc Preston: on.
177
00:05:30,196 --> 00:05:31,499
Marc Preston: Anything else is just going to be dangerous,
178
00:05:31,619 --> 00:05:31,980
Marc Preston: you know.
179
00:05:33,042 --> 00:05:33,884
Marc Preston: So what did you do?
180
00:05:34,385 --> 00:05:37,671
Marc Preston: Any kind of training is like did you do the
181
00:05:37,912 --> 00:05:39,836
Marc Preston: any kind of acting coaches, classes, stuff
182
00:05:39,876 --> 00:05:41,980
Marc Preston: like that, or you just kind of jump into it.
183
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,964
Logan Macrae: Yeah, so it started.
184
00:05:46,746 --> 00:05:49,589
Logan Macrae: It started with just a very basic like
185
00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:51,712
Logan Macrae: commercial class and I was taking a
186
00:05:51,772 --> 00:05:55,116
Logan Macrae: commercial commercial, I guess acting class
187
00:05:55,156 --> 00:05:57,660
Logan Macrae: just to kind of get your angles and whatnot
188
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,166
Logan Macrae: down, and from there I was like, okay, well,
189
00:06:01,186 --> 00:06:01,767
Logan Macrae: what's next?
190
00:06:01,827 --> 00:06:03,189
Logan Macrae: I was always kind of the type of person
191
00:06:03,209 --> 00:06:04,812
Logan Macrae: where I'm like, okay, I mastered that skill,
192
00:06:04,852 --> 00:06:05,974
Logan Macrae: so what do we do next?
193
00:06:06,140 --> 00:06:07,703
Logan Macrae: And somebody said, well, go to a real
194
00:06:07,804 --> 00:06:09,567
Logan Macrae: acting class, go to a sensory class.
195
00:06:10,569 --> 00:06:12,733
Logan Macrae: And I ended up going to a sensory class
196
00:06:12,753 --> 00:06:14,196
Logan Macrae: with this phenomenal teacher on the Upper
197
00:06:14,236 --> 00:06:14,637
Logan Macrae: West Side.
198
00:06:14,677 --> 00:06:19,405
Logan Macrae: Her name is Sheila Gray and she taught this
199
00:06:19,445 --> 00:06:21,548
Logan Macrae: sensory class and I just I fell in love
200
00:06:21,568 --> 00:06:21,848
Logan Macrae: with it.
201
00:06:22,089 --> 00:06:23,951
Logan Macrae: It just brought emotions and whatnot out of
202
00:06:24,011 --> 00:06:26,635
Logan Macrae: me that I didn't necessarily know were
203
00:06:26,655 --> 00:06:29,403
Logan Macrae: there and I did some sensory and some
204
00:06:29,543 --> 00:06:33,848
Logan Macrae: improv through her and because of her I
205
00:06:33,928 --> 00:06:36,290
Logan Macrae: actually was able to start auditioning with
206
00:06:36,370 --> 00:06:38,613
Logan Macrae: it, because she actually reached out to a
207
00:06:38,673 --> 00:06:41,196
Logan Macrae: representative at my commercial agency and
208
00:06:41,236 --> 00:06:42,858
Logan Macrae: was like, hey, you should really be doing
209
00:06:42,938 --> 00:06:44,880
Logan Macrae: some auditions because he knows what he's
210
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:45,000
Logan Macrae: doing.
211
00:06:45,521 --> 00:06:48,670
Logan Macrae: So through the work it kind of fell into
212
00:06:48,711 --> 00:06:48,951
Logan Macrae: that.
213
00:06:49,541 --> 00:06:50,041
Marc Preston: Yeah, and that's.
214
00:06:51,023 --> 00:06:52,705
Marc Preston: This is all happening up in New York now.
215
00:06:53,706 --> 00:06:55,449
Marc Preston: I know with New Orleans for a period of
216
00:06:55,509 --> 00:06:56,971
Marc Preston: time was doing really, really well, getting
217
00:06:57,011 --> 00:06:58,433
Marc Preston: a lot of work, and then they killed the tax
218
00:06:58,473 --> 00:06:59,975
Marc Preston: credit and then all that work went up to.
219
00:07:00,015 --> 00:07:00,936
Marc Preston: Atlanta or Georgia?
220
00:07:01,822 --> 00:07:04,168
Marc Preston: Are you bouncing back and forth to New York
221
00:07:04,248 --> 00:07:05,291
Marc Preston: or out out of town?
222
00:07:05,411 --> 00:07:07,516
Marc Preston: Are you just hanging out and just kind of
223
00:07:07,556 --> 00:07:08,980
Marc Preston: going whatever, wherever the projects are?
224
00:07:10,161 --> 00:07:12,164
Logan Macrae: Yeah, I'm following projects at this point
225
00:07:12,224 --> 00:07:12,704
Logan Macrae: in time.
226
00:07:12,744 --> 00:07:16,669
Logan Macrae: You know, I think COVID shifted the acting
227
00:07:16,749 --> 00:07:19,312
Logan Macrae: landscape and what I see is a very positive
228
00:07:19,392 --> 00:07:22,776
Logan Macrae: way, in the sense that everything self tape.
229
00:07:22,796 --> 00:07:24,298
Logan Macrae: You know, they're no longer asking people
230
00:07:24,338 --> 00:07:25,980
Logan Macrae: to come in for those auditions.
231
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:27,402
Marc Preston: Isn't that a time saver?
232
00:07:27,422 --> 00:07:28,745
Marc Preston: Everybody I'm talking to is talking about
233
00:07:28,785 --> 00:07:31,269
Marc Preston: how, like that, just finally kind of
234
00:07:31,309 --> 00:07:32,591
Marc Preston: shifted that gear and just said you know
235
00:07:32,611 --> 00:07:34,474
Marc Preston: what, if you can do it at home, just do it.
236
00:07:34,654 --> 00:07:36,497
Marc Preston: You know, and it seems like it's not really
237
00:07:36,538 --> 00:07:37,960
Marc Preston: going back to in person as much.
238
00:07:38,741 --> 00:07:40,342
Logan Macrae: Yeah, and I look at it as it's.
239
00:07:40,402 --> 00:07:43,625
Logan Macrae: I think it's actually more conducive to the
240
00:07:43,745 --> 00:07:46,287
Logan Macrae: craft because when you actually do make it
241
00:07:46,407 --> 00:07:49,950
Logan Macrae: on set you don't just get one opportunity
242
00:07:50,090 --> 00:07:50,791
Logan Macrae: most of the time.
243
00:07:50,851 --> 00:07:52,152
Logan Macrae: Of course there are some directors out
244
00:07:52,172 --> 00:07:54,073
Logan Macrae: there that maybe you'll go one time through,
245
00:07:54,193 --> 00:07:55,715
Logan Macrae: but you know they're only going to do that
246
00:07:55,815 --> 00:07:57,376
Logan Macrae: once they've gotten what they need out of
247
00:07:58,257 --> 00:07:58,937
Logan Macrae: the scene.
248
00:07:59,140 --> 00:08:00,743
Marc Preston: That's a really that's a really great way
249
00:08:00,783 --> 00:08:03,367
Marc Preston: of putting it that on set you are doing the
250
00:08:03,407 --> 00:08:05,451
Marc Preston: takes that until they feel like they've
251
00:08:05,491 --> 00:08:07,374
Marc Preston: locked in, and if you're doing it at home
252
00:08:07,394 --> 00:08:08,476
Marc Preston: you're doing kind of the same thing.
253
00:08:08,916 --> 00:08:10,219
Marc Preston: We all know you're going for an audition is
254
00:08:10,239 --> 00:08:12,731
Marc Preston: like hey, that was great, we'll be in touch
255
00:08:13,336 --> 00:08:13,980
Marc Preston: when you're out the door.
256
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:16,922
Logan Macrae: Totally, totally, and I think, you know, I
257
00:08:17,263 --> 00:08:19,585
Logan Macrae: think it gives everyone the opportunity to
258
00:08:20,606 --> 00:08:22,467
Logan Macrae: kind of show them best, their best selves,
259
00:08:22,527 --> 00:08:24,709
Logan Macrae: to casting and directors and whatnot.
260
00:08:25,249 --> 00:08:27,311
Logan Macrae: That it's just kind of changed the
261
00:08:27,351 --> 00:08:29,012
Logan Macrae: landscape and I think it's allowed everyone
262
00:08:29,053 --> 00:08:31,915
Logan Macrae: to really show their talents and allowed me
263
00:08:31,995 --> 00:08:34,137
Logan Macrae: to, you know, post up in New Orleans, which
264
00:08:34,197 --> 00:08:34,817
Logan Macrae: I'm okay with.
265
00:08:35,502 --> 00:08:38,913
Marc Preston: I know you, the where the crawdad sing is
266
00:08:38,973 --> 00:08:39,214
Marc Preston: latest.
267
00:08:39,455 --> 00:08:40,980
Marc Preston: So that project, where did y'all shoot?
268
00:08:41,381 --> 00:08:43,545
Logan Macrae: So that project shot in the greater New
269
00:08:43,605 --> 00:08:45,990
Logan Macrae: Orleans area, which was extremely
270
00:08:46,050 --> 00:08:47,353
Logan Macrae: convenient for me Nice yeah.
271
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:48,621
Logan Macrae: They.
272
00:08:49,402 --> 00:08:51,266
Logan Macrae: Oh yeah, I mean anytime you can sleep in
273
00:08:51,286 --> 00:08:52,848
Logan Macrae: your own bed, you always have to take that.
274
00:08:52,868 --> 00:08:53,089
Logan Macrae: It was.
275
00:08:56,935 --> 00:08:58,598
Logan Macrae: You know the way that they shot it and
276
00:08:58,638 --> 00:09:01,023
Logan Macrae: everything here, and I think the landscape
277
00:09:01,544 --> 00:09:03,928
Logan Macrae: of areas just outside of New Orleans was
278
00:09:04,108 --> 00:09:08,342
Logan Macrae: very conducive and appropriate for what the
279
00:09:08,382 --> 00:09:10,347
Logan Macrae: storyline was of, where the crowd had sing
280
00:09:10,367 --> 00:09:13,541
Logan Macrae: because, um, the care my character and the
281
00:09:13,581 --> 00:09:16,917
Logan Macrae: main character, kaya, grew up on the marsh
282
00:09:16,997 --> 00:09:18,681
Logan Macrae: is what they call it in the book, which you
283
00:09:18,722 --> 00:09:22,357
Logan Macrae: know is basically swamp land, so it's very
284
00:09:22,418 --> 00:09:23,981
Logan Macrae: easy to find in the greater New Orleans
285
00:09:24,081 --> 00:09:26,526
Logan Macrae: area when were y'all shooting roughly Like
286
00:09:26,807 --> 00:09:27,649
Logan Macrae: in the New Orleans area?
287
00:09:28,036 --> 00:09:28,377
Logan Macrae: Yeah.
288
00:09:28,397 --> 00:09:29,861
Logan Macrae: So it was just outside of New Orleans, it
289
00:09:29,901 --> 00:09:31,665
Logan Macrae: was actually a little bit on the North
290
00:09:31,705 --> 00:09:35,661
Logan Macrae: Shore and, um, they found a state park that
291
00:09:35,822 --> 00:09:39,579
Logan Macrae: actually allowed them to build a replica of
292
00:09:39,659 --> 00:09:42,006
Logan Macrae: the home in the state park right on the
293
00:09:42,066 --> 00:09:42,427
Logan Macrae: water.
294
00:09:43,256 --> 00:09:46,359
Logan Macrae: So it was amazing because you show up and
295
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:47,962
Logan Macrae: it's like, oh, there's the family home and
296
00:09:48,243 --> 00:09:50,968
Logan Macrae: everything was real and it left very little
297
00:09:51,029 --> 00:09:54,119
Logan Macrae: to the imagination that you saw the family
298
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,880
Logan Macrae: home and it was 20 feet right from the
299
00:09:56,940 --> 00:09:57,261
Logan Macrae: river.
300
00:09:57,442 --> 00:10:01,062
Logan Macrae: So everything was exactly what you pictured
301
00:10:01,102 --> 00:10:02,670
Logan Macrae: in your mind when you read the book in the
302
00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:04,136
Logan Macrae: description of the home it was.
303
00:10:04,276 --> 00:10:06,162
Logan Macrae: It was really cool and I think it just made
304
00:10:06,202 --> 00:10:07,766
Logan Macrae: the experience that much more real.
305
00:10:08,356 --> 00:10:10,323
Marc Preston: So, uh, uh, when did y'all shoot this?
306
00:10:11,536 --> 00:10:15,902
Logan Macrae: It was shot um May of last year, so May of
307
00:10:15,962 --> 00:10:16,925
Logan Macrae: 2021.
308
00:10:17,486 --> 00:10:19,498
Logan Macrae: Um, there was a little bit of delay.
309
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,363
Logan Macrae: They, you know, they made it so accurate
310
00:10:21,403 --> 00:10:23,327
Logan Macrae: that it was 20 feet away from the water,
311
00:10:23,347 --> 00:10:25,238
Logan Macrae: and I don't know if you remember last year,
312
00:10:25,678 --> 00:10:28,283
Logan Macrae: last year we got a lot of rain, last year
313
00:10:28,364 --> 00:10:30,287
Logan Macrae: in May and they had to shut down production
314
00:10:30,327 --> 00:10:32,978
Logan Macrae: a little while because They'd actually took
315
00:10:33,059 --> 00:10:34,384
Logan Macrae: on so much water that there was water.
316
00:10:34,655 --> 00:10:36,322
Logan Macrae: You know, if you're 20 feet away from the
317
00:10:36,483 --> 00:10:38,129
Logan Macrae: river, the water was suddenly up to the
318
00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:39,435
Logan Macrae: house when we got so much rain.
319
00:10:39,716 --> 00:10:43,725
Logan Macrae: So it was very, very true to living in the
320
00:10:43,785 --> 00:10:47,239
Logan Macrae: marsh swamp that Everybody dealt with it.
321
00:10:47,319 --> 00:10:48,404
Logan Macrae: It was funny yeah that was.
322
00:10:48,584 --> 00:10:50,573
Marc Preston: Uh, it's so funny that whenever I've shot
323
00:10:50,653 --> 00:10:52,058
Marc Preston: things here and I took a little bit of
324
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:54,296
Marc Preston: hiatus from doing anything on camera, but
325
00:10:54,998 --> 00:10:56,703
Marc Preston: it was wild, because it's like they give
326
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:58,236
Marc Preston: you a location to go to, it's like, wow, I
327
00:10:58,297 --> 00:10:59,685
Marc Preston: didn't even know this part of the city
328
00:10:59,746 --> 00:11:00,148

353
00:11:44,845 --> 00:11:46,268
Logan Macrae: chance to kind of cross paths.
354
00:11:46,315 --> 00:11:47,759
Marc Preston: Yeah, britt robertson, she seems like she's

Marc Preston: up in boulder.
360
00:11:54,549 --> 00:11:55,715
Marc Preston: Was this even on your radar?
361
00:11:55,896 --> 00:11:57,244
Marc Preston: We're like watching movies going.
362
00:11:57,265 --> 00:11:58,573
Marc Preston: Man, that's something I kind of want to do

00:11:58,714 --> 00:11:58,915
Marc Preston: one day.
364
00:11:59,496 --> 00:12:00,398
Logan Macrae: Yeah, I think it was.
365
00:12:00,458 --> 00:12:01,180
Logan Macrae: You know totally.
366
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:02,603
Logan Macrae: I mean, I don't know if you'd consider
367
00:12:02,843 --> 00:12:04,787
Logan Macrae: colorado like midwestern, but it was just
368
00:12:04,847 --> 00:12:08,619
Logan Macrae: kind of that very Traditional upbringing.
369
00:12:08,659 --> 00:12:11,816
Logan Macrae: I mean I have two brothers and it was
370
00:12:12,318 --> 00:12:14,443
Logan Macrae: sports all day, every day is what our lives
371
00:12:14,463 --> 00:12:17,920
Logan Macrae: were growing up kind of, so it really
372
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:18,944
Logan Macrae: wasn't on the radar.
373
00:12:19,005 --> 00:12:21,033
Logan Macrae: You know, when we got to, when I got to
374
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:25,085
Logan Macrae: college, films started to kind of creep in
375
00:12:25,105 --> 00:12:27,131
Logan Macrae: there, just and just in general interest
376
00:12:27,171 --> 00:12:27,532
Logan Macrae: and stuff.
377
00:12:27,552 --> 00:12:29,419
Logan Macrae: You start to take your own Mikey, and when
378
00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:30,950
Logan Macrae: you will finally have your own choice of
379
00:12:30,990 --> 00:12:31,655
Logan Macrae: what you're watching.
380
00:12:31,975 --> 00:12:34,240
Logan Macrae: So friends and I would start viewing films,
381
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,344
Logan Macrae: but the the interest wasn't necessarily
382
00:12:36,444 --> 00:12:38,649
Logan Macrae: there for me to partake in it.
383
00:12:39,276 --> 00:12:40,741
Logan Macrae: It was kind of in new york with the
384
00:12:40,801 --> 00:12:44,321
Logan Macrae: modeling, where I was doing this modeling
385
00:12:44,783 --> 00:12:46,489
Logan Macrae: and I finally got to the point is I was
386
00:12:46,509 --> 00:12:48,275
Logan Macrae: like I really would love to do something
387
00:12:49,378 --> 00:12:50,140
Logan Macrae: With more depth.
388
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,945
Logan Macrae: You know, I think the modeling taught me a
389
00:12:52,005 --> 00:12:54,317
Logan Macrae: lot and I love it With the camera.
390
00:12:54,357 --> 00:12:55,761
Logan Macrae: Sense is with modeling.
391
00:12:55,801 --> 00:12:57,847
Logan Macrae: It teaches you angles very well.
392
00:12:58,035 --> 00:13:00,141
Logan Macrae: So I think Marcs and angles and those types
393
00:13:00,182 --> 00:13:04,040
Logan Macrae: of things came very easy to me and I just
394
00:13:04,101 --> 00:13:05,688
Logan Macrae: wanted to pursue something with some more
395
00:13:05,768 --> 00:13:06,049
Logan Macrae: depth.
396
00:13:06,130 --> 00:13:07,556
Logan Macrae: And I started taking these classes and I
397
00:13:07,576 --> 00:13:08,659
Logan Macrae: was like, wow, there's a whole another
398
00:13:08,740 --> 00:13:10,787
Logan Macrae: level to this when you add the actual
399
00:13:10,967 --> 00:13:13,275
Logan Macrae: talking, moving speaking side to it.
400
00:13:13,475 --> 00:13:14,778
Marc Preston: Well, now is this something that was kind
401
00:13:14,798 --> 00:13:16,722
Marc Preston: of wired into your DNA, like, uh, were your
402
00:13:16,743 --> 00:13:19,208
Marc Preston: parents any one of them anything creatively?
403
00:13:19,388 --> 00:13:21,902
Marc Preston: Or or were they, were they far from the
404
00:13:21,942 --> 00:13:23,106
Marc Preston: creative ecosystem?
405
00:13:23,755 --> 00:13:27,164
Logan Macrae: So my parents not, but my grandmother on my
406
00:13:27,285 --> 00:13:28,127
Logan Macrae: father's side.
407
00:13:28,955 --> 00:13:32,996
Logan Macrae: She still, to this day, actually Directs
408
00:13:33,037 --> 00:13:35,162
Logan Macrae: theater and musical theater in new jersey
409
00:13:35,884 --> 00:13:38,762
Logan Macrae: and she's in her 90s, so it she still is
410
00:13:38,822 --> 00:13:39,827
Logan Macrae: going and she does this.
411
00:13:40,469 --> 00:13:44,736
Logan Macrae: It's her, it's her one love um and Used to
412
00:13:44,776 --> 00:13:47,124
Logan Macrae: sing a lot back in the day, and she was
413
00:13:47,204 --> 00:13:50,563
Logan Macrae: actually in In some type of beauty pageant
414
00:13:50,603 --> 00:13:51,346
Logan Macrae: as well back in the day.
415
00:13:51,386 --> 00:13:54,078
Logan Macrae: I can't remember what it was, but so on her
416
00:13:54,138 --> 00:13:56,545
Logan Macrae: side of it she had that creativity stuff
417
00:13:56,625 --> 00:13:57,267
Logan Macrae: going on.
418
00:13:57,775 --> 00:14:00,483
Logan Macrae: So it's in there somewhere for me, but it
419
00:14:00,523 --> 00:14:03,740
Logan Macrae: wasn't really anything that Either one of
420
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,671
Logan Macrae: my parents pursued or kind of pushed us
421
00:14:05,712 --> 00:14:06,275
Logan Macrae: towards either.
422
00:14:07,038 --> 00:14:08,684
Marc Preston: My grandmother was the same thing that my
423
00:14:08,864 --> 00:14:09,286
Marc Preston: family's from.
424
00:14:09,727 --> 00:14:10,911
Marc Preston: We'll have them from Denver.
425
00:14:11,152 --> 00:14:12,658
Marc Preston: So she went to LA and that's where my
426
00:14:12,698 --> 00:14:13,561
Marc Preston: grandparents met.
427
00:14:13,722 --> 00:14:15,368
Marc Preston: But she was out there and she'd done some
428
00:14:15,409 --> 00:14:17,437
Marc Preston: singing and some other stuff and I was
429
00:14:17,617 --> 00:14:20,220
Marc Preston: thinking, well, you know, maybe that's
430
00:14:20,261 --> 00:14:21,406
Marc Preston: where I got it from, I don't know.
431
00:14:21,687 --> 00:14:23,414
Marc Preston: You know, but it's kind of funny that you
432
00:14:23,434 --> 00:14:25,721
Marc Preston: know, I did the very opposite of pretty
433
00:14:25,761 --> 00:14:27,024
Marc Preston: much everybody in my family.
434
00:14:27,766 --> 00:14:30,082
Marc Preston: Um, we folks were they kind of down with it,
435
00:14:30,122 --> 00:14:32,322
Marc Preston: like okay, this, yeah, go to go to new york,
436
00:14:32,342 --> 00:14:33,389
Marc Preston: do your thing, or where they can.
437
00:14:33,409 --> 00:14:34,977
Marc Preston: Like, uh, you know, I'll have something to
438
00:14:34,997 --> 00:14:35,719
Marc Preston: fall back on.
439
00:14:35,779 --> 00:14:36,200
Marc Preston: What were they?
440
00:14:36,361 --> 00:14:37,705
Marc Preston: What were they guiding you towards?
441
00:14:38,066 --> 00:14:41,981
Logan Macrae: you know it's one thing in almost to a
442
00:14:42,082 --> 00:14:45,436
Logan Macrae: fault, but I think them so much for it is I
443
00:14:45,476 --> 00:14:48,360
Logan Macrae: have had the most supportive parents of
444
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,345
Logan Macrae: anything that I've ever pursued and it's
445
00:14:50,506 --> 00:14:52,999
Logan Macrae: it's been Amazing because they've always
446
00:14:53,059 --> 00:14:54,925
Logan Macrae: allowed me to kind of go after those things
447
00:14:54,945 --> 00:14:58,100
Logan Macrae: that I wanted to and they've always cared
448
00:14:58,441 --> 00:15:00,969
Logan Macrae: and they've almost had this blind faith
449
00:15:01,029 --> 00:15:03,095
Logan Macrae: that I've that I would do well in whatever
450
00:15:03,315 --> 00:15:05,781
Logan Macrae: I chose to pursue, which is great.
451
00:15:05,961 --> 00:15:07,705
Logan Macrae: But you know, there's the other side of it
452
00:15:07,765 --> 00:15:12,350
Logan Macrae: as well, where you kind of you, you have to
453
00:15:12,397 --> 00:15:13,930
Logan Macrae: be a little more realistic because I think
454
00:15:13,977 --> 00:15:15,609
Logan Macrae: my parents just you know they were, they
455
00:15:15,629 --> 00:15:17,953
Logan Macrae: are so, so loving and supportive that
456
00:15:18,013 --> 00:15:19,678
Logan Macrae: sometimes I'm like, okay, but am I making
457
00:15:19,698 --> 00:15:20,944
Logan Macrae: the right choice, even though they're
458
00:15:20,964 --> 00:15:23,655
Logan Macrae: saying I am, so I was lucky in that sense.
459
00:15:23,875 --> 00:15:25,461
Logan Macrae: But they, they have been extremely
460
00:15:25,501 --> 00:15:27,027
Logan Macrae: supportive in anything that I pursued.
461
00:15:27,107 --> 00:15:28,070
Marc Preston: Yeah, you kind of want to feel those
462
00:15:28,131 --> 00:15:29,556
Marc Preston: guardrails a little bit going Am.
463
00:15:29,616 --> 00:15:30,720
Logan Macrae: I doing the right thing here.
464
00:15:30,741 --> 00:15:31,263
Marc Preston: You know I don't want to.
465
00:15:32,761 --> 00:15:33,544
Logan Macrae: I don't want to go.
466
00:15:34,075 --> 00:15:36,237
Marc Preston: I think that's a big Part of being in your
467
00:15:36,278 --> 00:15:37,962
Marc Preston: 20s is getting out there, making some,
468
00:15:38,263 --> 00:15:39,647
Marc Preston: making some mistakes, you know.
469
00:15:39,755 --> 00:15:41,519
Marc Preston: Then that way you kind of kind of you get a
470
00:15:41,579 --> 00:15:43,463
Marc Preston: feel for your ad, you know, and I think
471
00:15:44,044 --> 00:15:45,968
Marc Preston: it's, it's a natural transition to do the
472
00:15:46,008 --> 00:15:47,858
Marc Preston: thing from, like I know, like Ian
473
00:15:47,898 --> 00:15:49,704
Marc Preston: summerhalder he actually family lives on
474
00:15:49,724 --> 00:15:52,421
Marc Preston: the north shore Uh, he, you know he went
475
00:15:52,461 --> 00:15:55,197
Marc Preston: from the modeling thing into Into acting.
476
00:15:55,398 --> 00:15:56,020
Marc Preston: You know it's funny.
477
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,565
Marc Preston: No, I never even thought about the whole
478
00:15:57,625 --> 00:16:00,294
Marc Preston: idea of hitting Marcs and angles and stuff
479
00:16:00,314 --> 00:16:00,535
Marc Preston: like that.
480
00:16:00,555 --> 00:16:02,640
Marc Preston: It's like, yeah, that's, that's, that's a
481
00:16:02,681 --> 00:16:04,666
Marc Preston: big part of the modeling thing and that
482
00:16:04,706 --> 00:16:05,367
Marc Preston: transitions.
483
00:16:05,555 --> 00:16:06,679
Logan Macrae: You really do learn all of it.
484
00:16:06,779 --> 00:16:08,384
Logan Macrae: I think you know the modeling side in, just
485
00:16:08,445 --> 00:16:11,615
Logan Macrae: in terms of what my experience was from all
486
00:16:11,635 --> 00:16:12,177
Logan Macrae: of it and stuff.
487
00:16:12,217 --> 00:16:16,183
Logan Macrae: I think that the travel and just the
488
00:16:16,303 --> 00:16:18,430
Logan Macrae: independence that the modeling stuff taught
489
00:16:18,450 --> 00:16:20,416
Logan Macrae: me was a different type of education and I
490
00:16:20,476 --> 00:16:22,401
Logan Macrae: think that's kind of what my parents saw
491
00:16:22,441 --> 00:16:23,645
Logan Macrae: that they were okay with.
492
00:16:23,905 --> 00:16:25,871
Logan Macrae: I, you know, I had the opportunities
493
00:16:25,911 --> 00:16:29,442
Logan Macrae: through modeling to travel Truly to places
494
00:16:29,502 --> 00:16:31,408
Logan Macrae: I never would have ever gone to.
495
00:16:31,489 --> 00:16:33,194
Logan Macrae: I mean, the first, the first international
496
00:16:33,234 --> 00:16:36,866
Logan Macrae: job I ever booked was to Bali and you know
497
00:16:36,986 --> 00:16:38,692
Logan Macrae: I never would have been in Bali in my life
498
00:16:38,772 --> 00:16:39,635
Logan Macrae: had it not happened.
499
00:16:39,755 --> 00:16:41,901
Logan Macrae: Yeah, so and I think when you're, you know,
500
00:16:41,941 --> 00:16:43,385
Logan Macrae: when you're going across the world by
501
00:16:43,425 --> 00:16:46,378
Logan Macrae: yourself and having to Just get yourself to
502
00:16:46,419 --> 00:16:48,445
Logan Macrae: places and experience different cultures, I
503
00:16:48,485 --> 00:16:51,565
Logan Macrae: think there's A level of education in that
504
00:16:51,606 --> 00:16:53,736
Logan Macrae: that's so different than you know what a
505
00:16:53,816 --> 00:16:56,281
Logan Macrae: traditional education is, but it it means
506
00:16:56,341 --> 00:16:57,984
Logan Macrae: something and I think that was a big thing
507
00:16:58,004 --> 00:16:59,567
Logan Macrae: that my parents were like okay, you know
508
00:16:59,607 --> 00:17:02,238
Logan Macrae: this, there is, there is something
509
00:17:02,378 --> 00:17:04,464
Logan Macrae: substantial in what he's doing on that side.
510
00:17:04,524 --> 00:17:07,639
Marc Preston: I think, traveling, talking to the chef,
511
00:17:07,659 --> 00:17:09,164
Marc Preston: robert Irvine, a little bit, a little while
512
00:17:09,184 --> 00:17:11,321
Marc Preston: ago, and, and we were talking about Anthony
513
00:17:11,361 --> 00:17:13,754
Marc Preston: Bourdain, I'm going, that's the life I want.
514
00:17:13,774 --> 00:17:15,075
Marc Preston: You know, he was my spirit animal.
515
00:17:15,296 --> 00:17:16,926
Marc Preston: I was like that to be able to travel, to
516
00:17:16,947 --> 00:17:18,235
Marc Preston: sit down and eat with different people, and,
517
00:17:19,137 --> 00:17:20,820
Marc Preston: and then we the conversation drifted a
518
00:17:20,860 --> 00:17:22,243
Marc Preston: moment and to, like you know, if we all,
519
00:17:22,624 --> 00:17:26,076
Marc Preston: collectively, is a culture as a Species,
520
00:17:26,116 --> 00:17:28,322
Marc Preston: sat down and had meals together, you
521
00:17:28,342 --> 00:17:29,926
Marc Preston: realize, oh, we're more alike than we are
522
00:17:30,307 --> 00:17:31,819
Marc Preston: different, 100%.
523
00:17:32,576 --> 00:17:34,469
Marc Preston: One of the greatest educations, and I wish
524
00:17:34,509 --> 00:17:35,375
Marc Preston: I could have done more of that.
525
00:17:36,236 --> 00:17:38,459
Marc Preston: You know, as I mentioned once my youngest
526
00:17:38,479 --> 00:17:39,781
Marc Preston: graduates from high school, I think that's
527
00:17:39,842 --> 00:17:40,402
Marc Preston: on the radar.
528
00:17:40,683 --> 00:17:40,943
Logan Macrae: Yeah.
529
00:17:48,056 --> 00:17:49,841
Marc Preston: What kind of projects are you looking to
530
00:17:49,961 --> 00:17:50,182
Marc Preston: start?
531
00:17:50,371 --> 00:17:52,619
Marc Preston: You know, if I say here's a bucket list of
532
00:17:52,659 --> 00:17:55,208
Marc Preston: the kind of projects, or maybe even the
533
00:17:55,309 --> 00:17:57,474
Marc Preston: actors or directors, what kind of things
534
00:17:57,514 --> 00:18:00,160
Marc Preston: would you like to find on your resume?
535
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,790
Logan Macrae: as they say, as time progresses, you know,
536
00:18:04,810 --> 00:18:09,838
Logan Macrae: I lean back into the idea that I would love
537
00:18:09,918 --> 00:18:13,965
Logan Macrae: to give a true character arc, even just in
538
00:18:14,025 --> 00:18:14,245
Logan Macrae: song.
539
00:18:14,590 --> 00:18:16,198
Logan Macrae: I don't know if I could sit there and give
540
00:18:16,318 --> 00:18:18,770
Logan Macrae: nine seasons to something, but I mean, of
541
00:18:18,850 --> 00:18:21,014
Logan Macrae: course anyone would take it as an actor,
542
00:18:21,194 --> 00:18:27,111
Logan Macrae: but I just would love to have the time it
543
00:18:27,151 --> 00:18:27,552
Logan Macrae: just even.
544
00:18:27,572 --> 00:18:29,016
Logan Macrae: I mean, ideal would be something along the
545
00:18:29,036 --> 00:18:32,191
Logan Macrae: lines of like a limited series where you
546
00:18:32,211 --> 00:18:34,398
Logan Macrae: can somewhat see a character through.
547
00:18:34,670 --> 00:18:36,077
Logan Macrae: And I think that's the biggest thing that
548
00:18:36,097 --> 00:18:38,769
Logan Macrae: I'm looking for is, you know, we create all
549
00:18:39,111 --> 00:18:41,301
Logan Macrae: of these backstories and these ideas and
550
00:18:41,361 --> 00:18:42,808
Logan Macrae: try to understand where each one of these
551
00:18:42,848 --> 00:18:45,696
Logan Macrae: characters is coming from and you only get
552
00:18:46,578 --> 00:18:47,902
Logan Macrae: X amount of time to do it.
553
00:18:48,230 --> 00:18:50,517
Logan Macrae: But I think if you really were given full
554
00:18:50,598 --> 00:18:54,289
Logan Macrae: play to really break down each piece of
555
00:18:54,330 --> 00:18:55,996
Logan Macrae: where somebody starts and where somebody
556
00:18:56,297 --> 00:18:59,388
Logan Macrae: ends on a larger scale like I said, limited
557
00:18:59,449 --> 00:19:01,934
Logan Macrae: series or even a full movie as a lead or
558
00:19:01,975 --> 00:19:03,758
Logan Macrae: whatever just something that gives me the
559
00:19:03,798 --> 00:19:07,615
Logan Macrae: chance to see more of the character.
560
00:19:08,790 --> 00:19:11,017
Logan Macrae: And then the other side is I've always
561
00:19:11,057 --> 00:19:11,940
Logan Macrae: wanted to do comedy.
562
00:19:12,311 --> 00:19:14,763
Logan Macrae: I you know comedy stuff I look at and I'm
563
00:19:14,783 --> 00:19:16,070
Logan Macrae: like you know, I would just love to go on
564
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:18,075
Logan Macrae: that set where you could just play and play
565
00:19:18,115 --> 00:19:19,278
Logan Macrae: and play all day long.
566
00:19:20,630 --> 00:19:23,459
Logan Macrae: It just looks fun and I like the challenge
567
00:19:23,479 --> 00:19:23,980
Logan Macrae: of comedy.
568
00:19:24,050 --> 00:19:27,979
Logan Macrae: I think so many people they look at comedy
569
00:19:27,999 --> 00:19:29,563
Logan Macrae: and they're like, oh, that must be so easy.
570
00:19:29,710 --> 00:19:31,657
Logan Macrae: But comedy is probably one of the hardest
571
00:19:31,697 --> 00:19:32,339
Logan Macrae: things out there.
572
00:19:32,530 --> 00:19:34,354
Logan Macrae: But once you kind of pick up on little
573
00:19:34,415 --> 00:19:36,760
Logan Macrae: things you're like, oh, this is cool and
574
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,542
Logan Macrae: this is crazy.
575
00:19:37,770 --> 00:19:40,274
Logan Macrae: What gets a laugh, what doesn't get a laugh?
576
00:19:40,830 --> 00:19:43,356
Logan Macrae: And I think the feedback in comedy is so
577
00:19:43,457 --> 00:19:47,166
Logan Macrae: instantaneous that that side of it's it's
578
00:19:47,387 --> 00:19:48,429
Logan Macrae: kind of what you're looking for as a
579
00:19:48,469 --> 00:19:48,690
Logan Macrae: performer.
580
00:19:48,951 --> 00:19:50,577
Marc Preston: And you mentioned the limited series thing
581
00:19:51,130 --> 00:19:53,015
Marc Preston: and we're kind of moving into that realm of
582
00:19:53,536 --> 00:19:56,022
Marc Preston: most things and streaming and whatnot.
583
00:19:56,570 --> 00:19:58,858
Marc Preston: I mean three seasons, that's pretty much it,
584
00:19:59,230 --> 00:20:00,975
Marc Preston: and now they're on, you know, be it Netflix
585
00:20:01,076 --> 00:20:01,938
Marc Preston: or Hulu or whatever.
586
00:20:02,790 --> 00:20:06,659
Marc Preston: So you no longer, I said not locked into,
587
00:20:06,739 --> 00:20:08,343
Marc Preston: but you know you no longer looking at, hey,
588
00:20:08,430 --> 00:20:09,754
Marc Preston: as long as we get this thing to run.
589
00:20:09,874 --> 00:20:11,820
Marc Preston: You know, I was just talking to my kids.
590
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,076
Marc Preston: I said, man, like reruns used to be a big
591
00:20:14,156 --> 00:20:15,119
Marc Preston: thing back in the day.
592
00:20:15,310 --> 00:20:17,015
Marc Preston: You know you work on a series long enough.
593
00:20:17,456 --> 00:20:18,680
Marc Preston: That thing goes into syndication.
594
00:20:19,071 --> 00:20:20,336
Marc Preston: That's great money on the back end.
595
00:20:20,731 --> 00:20:21,715
Marc Preston: But they mentioned comedy.
596
00:20:21,890 --> 00:20:22,935
Marc Preston: What were you watching growing up?
597
00:20:23,450 --> 00:20:25,576
Marc Preston: What kind of things were you, be it movies
598
00:20:25,636 --> 00:20:26,458
Marc Preston: or TV shows.
599
00:20:26,498 --> 00:20:27,902
Marc Preston: What was, what was your jam?
600
00:20:28,110 --> 00:20:28,231
Logan Macrae: It's.
601
00:20:28,311 --> 00:20:30,516
Logan Macrae: You know the stuff that was always running
602
00:20:30,636 --> 00:20:33,672
Logan Macrae: in the background for comedy and I guess
603
00:20:33,692 --> 00:20:36,004
Logan Macrae: you don't realize as a kid how much it
604
00:20:36,184 --> 00:20:37,952
Logan Macrae: influenced you and stuff that you saw was
605
00:20:38,494 --> 00:20:39,939
Logan Macrae: the reruns of, like Seinfeld.
606
00:20:40,150 --> 00:20:42,194
Logan Macrae: You know, I remember, you know Seinfeld had
607
00:20:42,275 --> 00:20:46,363
Logan Macrae: that 435 o'clock slot and it was like on TV
608
00:20:46,550 --> 00:20:48,154
Logan Macrae: while mom and dad were cooking dinner, you
609
00:20:48,194 --> 00:20:48,395
Logan Macrae: know.
610
00:20:48,675 --> 00:20:51,021
Logan Macrae: So Seinfeld was there.
611
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:53,735
Logan Macrae: And then I've actually revisited some of
612
00:20:53,775 --> 00:20:56,161
Logan Macrae: those comedies from that era that I was
613
00:20:56,222 --> 00:20:58,078
Logan Macrae: like, like Frasier I thought was the driest,
614
00:20:58,159 --> 00:20:59,827
Logan Macrae: most boring show in the world when I was a
615
00:20:59,888 --> 00:21:01,555
Logan Macrae: kid and I've gone back and rewatched
616
00:21:01,615 --> 00:21:02,016
Logan Macrae: Frasier.
617
00:21:02,550 --> 00:21:05,334
Logan Macrae: The show is hilarious, it's such a great
618
00:21:05,374 --> 00:21:05,535
Logan Macrae: show.
619
00:21:06,430 --> 00:21:08,337
Logan Macrae: My wife and I kind of cycle through
620
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:11,849
Logan Macrae: different comedies and she likes to watch
621
00:21:11,869 --> 00:21:14,158
Logan Macrae: something nice, nice and like light before
622
00:21:14,218 --> 00:21:14,418
Logan Macrae: bed.
623
00:21:14,590 --> 00:21:16,115
Logan Macrae: So we cycle through comedies that are, you
624
00:21:16,135 --> 00:21:18,312
Logan Macrae: know, 20 minutes long, so that's something
625
00:21:18,353 --> 00:21:18,854
Logan Macrae: like that.
626
00:21:20,130 --> 00:21:22,376
Logan Macrae: So the ones growing up were probably
627
00:21:23,239 --> 00:21:27,877
Logan Macrae: Seinfeld and then, as I got older, one that
628
00:21:27,917 --> 00:21:29,601
Logan Macrae: I always circle back to.
629
00:21:29,641 --> 00:21:31,751
Logan Macrae: That I find hilarious, but I think it has a
630
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:33,396
Logan Macrae: very specific time period.
631
00:21:33,476 --> 00:21:35,802
Logan Macrae: Was a new girl on Fox.
632
00:21:36,552 --> 00:21:38,216
Logan Macrae: I found that show hilarious, just because I
633
00:21:38,257 --> 00:21:38,838
Logan Macrae: looked at those.
634
00:21:38,939 --> 00:21:40,953
Marc Preston: I never saw that, and that's that's another
635
00:21:40,993 --> 00:21:42,718
Marc Preston: reason why I love like Netflix and all that
636
00:21:42,738 --> 00:21:43,881
Marc Preston: because these shows show up there.
637
00:21:44,952 --> 00:21:46,416
Marc Preston: I'm like, oh, like there's so much stuff
638
00:21:46,477 --> 00:21:48,853
Marc Preston: out there now it's almost impossible to
639
00:21:48,893 --> 00:21:51,452
Marc Preston: watch everything, and I kind of like that
640
00:21:51,472 --> 00:21:53,699
Marc Preston: because I saw them watched Game of Thrones.
641
00:21:54,150 --> 00:21:55,654
Marc Preston: So I'm like, oh, that could still be new to
642
00:21:55,695 --> 00:21:55,735
Marc Preston: me.
643
00:21:55,755 --> 00:21:57,139
Logan Macrae: Yeah, I haven't watched any of it, really.
644
00:21:57,870 --> 00:21:59,580
Logan Macrae: Like something's just life or whatever else,
645
00:21:59,620 --> 00:22:01,390
Logan Macrae: and having kids, you know you have to be
646
00:22:01,511 --> 00:22:03,942
Logan Macrae: diplomatic and you know something we'd well,
647
00:22:03,962 --> 00:22:05,770
Logan Macrae: it's a commitment to for some of them
648
00:22:05,810 --> 00:22:06,514
Logan Macrae: that's just like.
649
00:22:06,574 --> 00:22:08,524
Logan Macrae: I mean Game of Thrones, my goodness it's,
650
00:22:08,665 --> 00:22:10,612
Logan Macrae: you know to commit yourself to that entire,
651
00:22:10,773 --> 00:22:12,917
Logan Macrae: you know that entire show is just.
652
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:15,443
Logan Macrae: That is a task in and of itself.
653
00:22:15,950 --> 00:22:16,030
Logan Macrae: What?
654
00:22:16,050 --> 00:22:19,040
Marc Preston: kind of movies were you watching growing up,
655
00:22:19,150 --> 00:22:20,334
Marc Preston: or what kind of, I mean even now?
656
00:22:20,354 --> 00:22:21,498
Marc Preston: What are you liking to check out?
657
00:22:22,350 --> 00:22:24,259
Logan Macrae: So one person I was talking about this the
658
00:22:24,299 --> 00:22:26,229
Logan Macrae: other day with someone, one person that I
659
00:22:26,931 --> 00:22:29,077

Logan Macrae: Christian Bale.
665
00:22:42,190 --> 00:22:44,196
Logan Macrae: If you look at everything that he's been in,
666
00:22:44,317 --> 00:22:48,029
Logan Macrae: it's just they're so wide ranging in, the
667
00:22:48,069 --> 00:22:50,174
Logan Macrae: characters that he plays are so all over.

674
00:22:59,089 --> 00:22:59,792

Logan Macrae: comedies.
695
00:23:30,936 --> 00:23:32,841
Logan Macrae: You know, I think comedies are tough in the
696
00:23:32,901 --> 00:23:34,172
Logan Macrae: sense when you look back on them,
697
00:23:34,253 --> 00:23:36,258
Logan Macrae: especially movies, because they're very
698
00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:37,822
Logan Macrae: period set.
699
00:23:38,070 --> 00:23:39,436
Logan Macrae: You know, I mean I was in college at a
700
00:23:39,497 --> 00:23:42,008

706
00:23:51,928 --> 00:23:52,491
Logan Macrae: thing we've ever seen.
707
00:23:52,552 --> 00:23:55,722
Logan Macrae: Probably not, but at the time in college
708
00:23:55,742 --> 00:23:56,850
Logan Macrae: you thought it was hilarious.
709
00:23:56,970 --> 00:23:59,658
Logan Macrae: Oh man, anything Judd Apatow is doing with

Marc Preston: I mean absolutely Anchorman, and it's just
712
00:24:02,323 --> 00:24:02,870
Marc Preston: so ridiculous.
713
00:24:03,131 --> 00:24:05,517
Marc Preston: And when I'm teaching voiceover to students

Marc Preston: I'm like listen, you got to buy him.
715

00:24:15,918 --> 00:24:16,640
Marc Preston: works all the time.
720
00:24:16,660 --> 00:24:19,136
Announcer: You know, sorry, one of my, I could look at
721
00:24:19,196 --> 00:24:21,715

00:24:24,833 --> 00:24:27,101

00:24:27,181 --> 00:24:27,422
Marc Preston: How did?
726
00:24:27,703 --> 00:24:30,031
Marc Preston: How did where the crawdad sing land in your
727
00:24:30,051 --> 00:24:30,252
Marc Preston: lap?
728
00:24:30,292 --> 00:24:32,103
Marc Preston: There Just happened to be.
729
00:24:32,140 --> 00:24:32,773
Marc Preston: You're in New Orleans.
730
00:24:32,810 --> 00:24:33,795
Marc Preston: They were shooting here, or was that
731
00:24:33,833 --> 00:24:35,057
Marc Preston: something that you were pursuing?
732
00:24:35,290 --> 00:24:35,451
Logan Macrae: It was.
733
00:24:35,551 --> 00:24:35,792
Logan Macrae: It was.
734
00:24:36,655 --> 00:24:38,763
Logan Macrae: It was somewhat of a combination of that
735
00:24:39,165 --> 00:24:43,056
Logan Macrae: and I didn't really realize this until
736
00:24:43,357 --> 00:24:46,671
Logan Macrae: everything had wrapped and whatnot, when I
737
00:24:46,811 --> 00:24:48,875
Logan Macrae: put together the things that were in my
738
00:24:48,955 --> 00:24:50,478
Logan Macrae: life and the things that were in my
739
00:24:50,518 --> 00:24:52,282
Logan Macrae: character, the character that I played,
740
00:24:52,382 --> 00:24:55,153
Logan Macrae: jody's life, and I think it was just kind
741
00:24:55,233 --> 00:24:58,239
Logan Macrae: of harmonious that the there were a lot of
742
00:24:58,299 --> 00:25:02,813
Logan Macrae: similarities in terms of our Overall you
743
00:25:02,853 --> 00:25:04,776
Logan Macrae: know, values, in the way we look at life,
744
00:25:05,597 --> 00:25:07,539
Logan Macrae: not necessarily things we experienced.
745
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:10,323
Logan Macrae: Jody the character experience some very
746
00:25:10,383 --> 00:25:11,845
Logan Macrae: extreme things that he had to deal with.
747
00:25:11,945 --> 00:25:15,395
Logan Macrae: But I think our similarities were the way
748
00:25:15,495 --> 00:25:18,380
Logan Macrae: we deal with adversity and I think you know
749
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,802
Logan Macrae: some people say that you know there's a
750
00:25:19,822 --> 00:25:21,224
Logan Macrae: certain characters that are perfect for
751
00:25:21,264 --> 00:25:21,545
Logan Macrae: people.
752
00:25:22,411 --> 00:25:24,754
Logan Macrae: And I look at that with jody, where you
753
00:25:24,774 --> 00:25:28,179
Logan Macrae: know he has this very stoic kind of go
754
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,803
Logan Macrae: after an approach to life and you know he
755
00:25:30,843 --> 00:25:32,365
Logan Macrae: doesn't allow things to kind of get him
756
00:25:32,445 --> 00:25:35,075
Logan Macrae: down and I see that in myself.
757
00:25:35,135 --> 00:25:38,551
Logan Macrae: You know, I think adversity for me has kind
758
00:25:38,571 --> 00:25:40,634
Logan Macrae: of honestly been something that was very
759
00:25:40,974 --> 00:25:42,937
Logan Macrae: you do, something that I went after when I
760
00:25:43,077 --> 00:25:45,520
Logan Macrae: saw I ran into adversity.
761
00:25:45,580 --> 00:25:48,244
Logan Macrae: It just kind of made me try harder and jody
762
00:25:48,284 --> 00:25:49,385
Logan Macrae: was very much like that.
763
00:25:49,485 --> 00:25:52,858
Logan Macrae: So I don't know, I guess, just perfect
764
00:25:52,878 --> 00:25:54,102
Logan Macrae: timing with all of it really.
765
00:25:54,711 --> 00:25:55,633
Marc Preston: It's kind of like that quote.
766
00:25:56,254 --> 00:25:58,077
Marc Preston: I'm probably misquoting it, but it's like a
767
00:25:58,118 --> 00:25:59,400
Marc Preston: sailor doesn't become a cap.
768
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,304
Marc Preston: Learn how to become a captain in column C's
769
00:26:01,424 --> 00:26:02,025
Marc Preston: or something, was it?
770
00:26:02,045 --> 00:26:03,087
Marc Preston: You know that kind of thing?
771
00:26:03,127 --> 00:26:04,590
Logan Macrae: yes yeah, absolutely.
772
00:26:05,391 --> 00:26:07,474
Marc Preston: What was the experience like shooting it?
773
00:26:07,534 --> 00:26:09,277
Marc Preston: Was it, like you're saying, that you kind
774
00:26:09,297 --> 00:26:11,260
Marc Preston: of really identified with your character?
775
00:26:11,460 --> 00:26:12,021
Logan Macrae: you know it was.
776
00:26:12,201 --> 00:26:14,385
Logan Macrae: It was, first of all, I think the nicest
777
00:26:14,445 --> 00:26:16,648
Logan Macrae: thing was, you know, touching on daisy is,
778
00:26:18,572 --> 00:26:20,153
Logan Macrae: I guess, walking on to a set and meeting
779
00:26:20,213 --> 00:26:20,714
Logan Macrae: someone.
780
00:26:20,914 --> 00:26:22,696
Logan Macrae: You have certain expectations, you're just
781
00:26:22,736 --> 00:26:26,480
Logan Macrae: not sure how that's gonna go, but daisy was
782
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:30,184
Logan Macrae: the most welcoming person and the nicest
783
00:26:30,224 --> 00:26:33,027
Logan Macrae: person and almost went out of her way to
784
00:26:33,407 --> 00:26:35,289
Logan Macrae: just make everybody feel as though they
785
00:26:35,309 --> 00:26:35,650
Logan Macrae: were a part of it.
786
00:26:35,670 --> 00:26:39,017
Logan Macrae: And I think that I probably wouldn't have
787
00:26:39,197 --> 00:26:41,584
Logan Macrae: accomplished what I did in the film without
788
00:26:41,664 --> 00:26:43,569
Logan Macrae: her, because I felt so comfortable from
789
00:26:43,589 --> 00:26:44,110
Logan Macrae: with her from day one.
790
00:26:46,593 --> 00:26:48,915
Logan Macrae: But also in shooting it was, you know, it
791
00:26:48,975 --> 00:26:50,397
Logan Macrae: wasn't always easy either.
792
00:26:50,497 --> 00:26:52,800
Logan Macrae: Day one I showed up and I had to shoot my
793
00:26:52,860 --> 00:26:54,962
Logan Macrae: biggest scene, which just in and of that,
794
00:26:55,543 --> 00:26:57,805
Logan Macrae: you know, is intimidating having to do that.
795
00:26:57,945 --> 00:27:00,432
Marc Preston: But it was kind of a trial by fire where I
796
00:27:00,472 --> 00:27:02,556
Marc Preston: really was like, okay, you know we're doing
797
00:27:02,596 --> 00:27:05,140
Marc Preston: this and we're gonna work through this and
798
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,462
Marc Preston: you just have to get comfortable, very
799
00:27:06,523 --> 00:27:10,154
Marc Preston: quick Stories from actors about how things
800
00:27:10,194 --> 00:27:12,238
Marc Preston: are shot out of sequences not in sequences,
801
00:27:12,618 --> 00:27:14,622
Marc Preston: you know, it's not a linear thing and they
802
00:27:14,682 --> 00:27:17,192
Marc Preston: show up first day they meet their you know
803
00:27:17,212 --> 00:27:17,894
Marc Preston: some of the act with.
804
00:27:17,914 --> 00:27:19,318
Marc Preston: There's gotta be some kind of romantic
805
00:27:19,398 --> 00:27:21,411
Marc Preston: scene, it's like it's like, you know,
806
00:27:21,431 --> 00:27:22,934
Marc Preston: you're thrown right into the fire, so I was
807
00:27:22,954 --> 00:27:23,736
Marc Preston: wondering what that's like.
808
00:27:23,776 --> 00:27:26,001
Marc Preston: So, right, right, so you have to ramp up
809
00:27:26,041 --> 00:27:26,662
Marc Preston: really fast.
810
00:27:26,762 --> 00:27:29,773
Marc Preston: So Do you still have any kind of aspiration
811
00:27:29,874 --> 00:27:32,337
Marc Preston: to do the modeling thing again, or is that
812
00:27:32,377 --> 00:27:34,881
Marc Preston: kind of it was just a step to be where you
813
00:27:34,941 --> 00:27:36,723
Marc Preston: are right now, or is there some things you
814
00:27:36,924 --> 00:27:37,284
Marc Preston: still like?
815
00:27:37,645 --> 00:27:40,412
Logan Macrae: You know, I think that there are some
816
00:27:40,452 --> 00:27:41,714
Logan Macrae: things that I still like about it.
817
00:27:41,774 --> 00:27:44,098
Logan Macrae: You know, I think the you know the actual
818
00:27:44,178 --> 00:27:45,901
Logan Macrae: true fashion side of modeling.
819
00:27:45,921 --> 00:27:47,102
Logan Macrae: I think that there is an interest.
820
00:27:47,122 --> 00:27:49,771
Logan Macrae: I think each person has their own
821
00:27:49,831 --> 00:27:53,998
Logan Macrae: individual tastes and you know a overall
822
00:27:54,058 --> 00:27:56,482
Logan Macrae: style that I do like that side of it and
823
00:27:56,522 --> 00:27:59,953
Logan Macrae: I'd like to be Part of it in some sense,
824
00:28:00,013 --> 00:28:03,920
Logan Macrae: like that where you can't really pick and
825
00:28:03,940 --> 00:28:04,761
Logan Macrae: choose a model.
826
00:28:04,881 --> 00:28:08,832
Logan Macrae: But I would like to be more Picky in terms
827
00:28:08,892 --> 00:28:10,495
Logan Macrae: of what I work, just because there are
828
00:28:10,535 --> 00:28:12,659
Logan Macrae: certain brands and what they're doing and
829
00:28:12,739 --> 00:28:14,142
Logan Macrae: images that they're putting out there that
830
00:28:14,502 --> 00:28:15,845
Logan Macrae: I really support that.
831
00:28:15,990 --> 00:28:18,055
Marc Preston: Now did your closet fill up with stuff when
832
00:28:18,075 --> 00:28:19,398
Marc Preston: you're doing this, so where you like,
833
00:28:19,458 --> 00:28:21,903
Marc Preston: coming home with the wardrobe and whatnot.
834
00:28:22,290 --> 00:28:24,894
Logan Macrae: You know, that is that is the biggest
835
00:28:24,974 --> 00:28:26,816
Logan Macrae: modeling misconception.
836
00:28:26,876 --> 00:28:30,340
Logan Macrae: Like we as models, you get nothing, not a
837
00:28:30,380 --> 00:28:31,262
Logan Macrae: single thing from set.
838
00:28:31,342 --> 00:28:33,224
Logan Macrae: I mean, the number of shoes that I came
839
00:28:33,284 --> 00:28:36,312
Logan Macrae: home with something was Maybe, you know,
840
00:28:36,793 --> 00:28:38,656
Logan Macrae: one and thirty or something like that.
841
00:28:38,957 --> 00:28:41,140
Logan Macrae: It really wasn't anything and I always
842
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,403
Logan Macrae: thought it was funny, because I think about
843
00:28:42,443 --> 00:28:45,392
Logan Macrae: these brands and I'm like we think you want
844
00:28:45,412 --> 00:28:47,355
Logan Macrae: your clothing on these people, but then
845
00:28:47,375 --> 00:28:48,938
Logan Macrae: when you start to look at the actual
846
00:28:49,018 --> 00:28:55,952
Logan Macrae: business side of it this clothing to
847
00:28:56,012 --> 00:28:58,395
Logan Macrae: continue to continue working through
848
00:28:58,916 --> 00:29:00,798
Logan Macrae: ramping up the line, going into production
849
00:29:00,858 --> 00:29:03,000
Logan Macrae: and going into stores and everything but
850
00:29:03,341 --> 00:29:05,423
Logan Macrae: yeah, it's funny, I wish we got half the
851
00:29:05,463 --> 00:29:07,866
Logan Macrae: stuff, but not necessarily how it works.
852
00:29:08,611 --> 00:29:10,273
Marc Preston: Yeah, my grandfather worked in that, in
853
00:29:10,293 --> 00:29:11,394
Marc Preston: that industry to a degree.
854
00:29:11,554 --> 00:29:13,797
Marc Preston: He was a model, he worked in the sales side,
855
00:29:13,817 --> 00:29:15,199
Marc Preston: so they always have these intermittent
856
00:29:15,459 --> 00:29:17,622
Marc Preston: sample sales, like these guys at the, I
857
00:29:17,642 --> 00:29:19,284
Marc Preston: remember is the Dallas apparel Marc.
858
00:29:19,324 --> 00:29:21,847
Marc Preston: You get real essentially fashionable stuff
859
00:29:21,867 --> 00:29:23,028
Marc Preston: from was nothing and not.
860
00:29:23,710 --> 00:29:26,073

Marc Preston: are you kind of hoping to get back up?
863
00:29:28,636 --> 00:29:31,600
Marc Preston: There is your home base, or you kinda kind
864
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,482
Marc Preston: of digging being down in the new orleans
865
00:29:33,602 --> 00:29:33,822
Marc Preston: area?
866
00:29:34,043 --> 00:29:35,564
Logan Macrae: you know there are things about new york
867
00:29:35,604 --> 00:29:37,126
Logan Macrae: that I I do miss.
868
00:29:37,811 --> 00:29:39,975
Logan Macrae: I think new york is a very inspiring city.
869
00:29:40,195 --> 00:29:41,919
Logan Macrae: I kinda like the relationship that I have
870
00:29:41,959 --> 00:29:43,742
Logan Macrae: with it now in the sense that I can pop in
871
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:47,733
Logan Macrae: and pop out, being in new york city and
872
00:29:47,813 --> 00:29:50,437
Logan Macrae: spurts can be, you know, like I said, very
873
00:29:50,777 --> 00:29:53,100
Logan Macrae: inspiring and you're just surrounded by
874
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,182
Logan Macrae: this energy in new york that people talk
875
00:29:55,222 --> 00:29:57,205
Logan Macrae: about and I still feel it to this day
876
00:29:57,265 --> 00:29:58,466
Logan Macrae: whenever I go back.
877
00:29:59,190 --> 00:30:01,613
Logan Macrae: But that energy can also be very draining
878
00:30:01,653 --> 00:30:03,715
Logan Macrae: if you're there, you know, long term, as
879
00:30:03,755 --> 00:30:04,655
Logan Macrae: your base to.
880
00:30:04,836 --> 00:30:06,998
Logan Macrae: So I kind of like the relationship that I
881
00:30:07,038 --> 00:30:09,360
Logan Macrae: have now and, you know, I like the
882
00:30:09,420 --> 00:30:10,861
Logan Macrae: relationship that I have with new orleans
883
00:30:10,921 --> 00:30:11,302
Logan Macrae: as well.
884
00:30:11,382 --> 00:30:15,766
Logan Macrae: It's new orleans is a special city and it's
885
00:30:15,926 --> 00:30:16,907
Logan Macrae: cool, cool place.
886
00:30:17,410 --> 00:30:18,532
Logan Macrae: I was talking to somebody the other day
887
00:30:18,572 --> 00:30:19,734
Logan Macrae: about new orleans and I was like you know,
888
00:30:20,195 --> 00:30:21,417
Logan Macrae: the thing about new orleans, new orleans
889
00:30:21,437 --> 00:30:22,960
Logan Macrae: that I love is the same thing that I love
890
00:30:22,980 --> 00:30:25,504
Logan Macrae: about european cities, in the sense that
891
00:30:26,051 --> 00:30:28,395
Logan Macrae: you can walk around new orleans with
892
00:30:28,495 --> 00:30:31,381
Logan Macrae: nowhere to actually go and you just see all
893
00:30:31,421 --> 00:30:32,823
Logan Macrae: these homes and everything with all this
894
00:30:32,883 --> 00:30:34,531
Logan Macrae: history, and it's beautiful.
895
00:30:34,591 --> 00:30:36,374
Logan Macrae: It's the same sense is walking around paris
896
00:30:36,434 --> 00:30:36,514
Logan Macrae: is.
897
00:30:36,534 --> 00:30:38,056
Logan Macrae: You don't have to have somewhere you need
898
00:30:38,076 --> 00:30:38,357
Logan Macrae: to go.
899
00:30:38,417 --> 00:30:40,039
Logan Macrae: In paris you can just walk around looking
900
00:30:40,079 --> 00:30:41,622
Logan Macrae: at all the buildings, thinking it's amazing,
901
00:30:41,642 --> 00:30:43,384
Logan Macrae: and I think new orleans kind of has that
902
00:30:43,424 --> 00:30:44,205
Logan Macrae: vibe on a certain.
903
00:30:44,470 --> 00:30:46,192
Marc Preston: You know, your wife grow up in new orleans
904
00:30:46,252 --> 00:30:47,714
Marc Preston: proper no, she didn't.
905
00:30:47,754 --> 00:30:49,376
Marc Preston: She grew up on the north shore, so she was
906
00:30:49,476 --> 00:30:52,059
Marc Preston: outside of it I know at least one of my
907
00:30:52,079 --> 00:30:53,260
Marc Preston: youngest daughter is gonna ask like, did
908
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:53,881
Marc Preston: she go to my school?
909
00:30:53,901 --> 00:30:55,302
Marc Preston: Because that's a big thing people don't
910
00:30:55,342 --> 00:30:56,203
Marc Preston: understand out.
911
00:30:56,223 --> 00:30:57,905
Marc Preston: You ask anybody anywhere in the country
912
00:30:58,045 --> 00:30:58,686
Marc Preston: where'd you go to school?
913
00:30:58,706 --> 00:31:00,212
Marc Preston: They always tell you what university of
914
00:31:00,272 --> 00:31:01,875
Marc Preston: texas or whatever have you know here?
915
00:31:01,895 --> 00:31:03,197
Logan Macrae: they tell you what high school they went to
916
00:31:04,199 --> 00:31:05,702
Logan Macrae: all the catholic schools here it's the
917
00:31:05,762 --> 00:31:08,732
Logan Macrae: craziest thing and you know every single
918
00:31:08,793 --> 00:31:10,915
Logan Macrae: person that my wife meets somewhere else,
919
00:31:10,976 --> 00:31:12,878
Logan Macrae: that they find out they're from new orleans.
920
00:31:13,559 --> 00:31:16,703
Logan Macrae: They will find a connection within two
921
00:31:16,764 --> 00:31:18,025
Logan Macrae: minutes of speaking to someone.
922
00:31:18,065 --> 00:31:20,374
Logan Macrae: It's like you know it is a big city but for
923
00:31:20,434 --> 00:31:22,880
Logan Macrae: some reason it's so tight knit on a certain
924
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:23,962
Logan Macrae: level to and it is.
925
00:31:24,022 --> 00:31:25,586
Logan Macrae: It's all about the high schools and that's
926
00:31:25,606 --> 00:31:27,049
Logan Macrae: the easiest way to figure out if you know
927
00:31:27,069 --> 00:31:27,310
Logan Macrae: someone.
928
00:31:27,771 --> 00:31:29,357
Marc Preston: Yeah, you really like two degrees of
929
00:31:29,418 --> 00:31:30,422
Marc Preston: separation from anybody.
930
00:31:30,462 --> 00:31:31,907
Marc Preston: It seems like you know I've been here on
931
00:31:31,948 --> 00:31:35,374
Marc Preston: and off for like Three years and I've spent
932
00:31:35,414 --> 00:31:37,917
Marc Preston: time in southern california and back to
933
00:31:37,957 --> 00:31:40,320
Marc Preston: dallas and I still have to use gps to get
934
00:31:40,380 --> 00:31:42,302
Marc Preston: some parts new orleans because it follows
935
00:31:42,322 --> 00:31:44,245
Marc Preston: the curve of the river it's not laid out on
936
00:31:44,285 --> 00:31:46,592
Marc Preston: a grid and my modeling.
937
00:31:46,612 --> 00:31:56,047
Marc Preston: But so the so how are you spending your
938
00:31:56,067 --> 00:31:56,327
Marc Preston: days?
939
00:31:56,407 --> 00:31:59,852
Marc Preston: Mostly are you are doing traveling for work,
940
00:31:59,912 --> 00:32:02,256
Marc Preston: or you just take a little bit of a break.
941
00:32:02,601 --> 00:32:05,347
Logan Macrae: Yeah, you know, as of late we've been
942
00:32:05,407 --> 00:32:07,772
Logan Macrae: ramping up with press stuff for crotch.
943
00:32:07,872 --> 00:32:12,167
Logan Macrae: So I was up in the New York City area a
944
00:32:12,208 --> 00:32:14,633
Logan Macrae: couple weeks ago and then some local stuff
945
00:32:14,713 --> 00:32:15,013
Logan Macrae: here.
946
00:32:16,301 --> 00:32:17,663
Logan Macrae: So it's a mix.
947
00:32:17,723 --> 00:32:19,265
Logan Macrae: And then obviously there's all the audition
948
00:32:19,305 --> 00:32:20,767
Logan Macrae: work to that I'm going through.
949
00:32:20,927 --> 00:32:23,791
Logan Macrae: So it's really ramping up for the movie.
950
00:32:23,891 --> 00:32:25,994
Logan Macrae: And then you know my day to day and just
951
00:32:26,054 --> 00:32:27,356
Logan Macrae: kind of taking it easy.
952
00:32:27,660 --> 00:32:29,122
Logan Macrae: I just learned to kind of take my.
953
00:32:30,343 --> 00:32:31,384
Logan Macrae: I've learned to take my.
954
00:32:31,784 --> 00:32:34,307
Logan Macrae: You know, my roles and work have come
955
00:32:34,487 --> 00:32:34,887
Logan Macrae: easier.
956
00:32:34,947 --> 00:32:37,850
Logan Macrae: Before I would panic a lot whenever nothing
957
00:32:37,870 --> 00:32:39,932
Logan Macrae: was going on, but I finally got into a
958
00:32:39,972 --> 00:32:41,554
Logan Macrae: point where I'm like now this is just kind
959
00:32:41,594 --> 00:32:43,776
Logan Macrae: of part of the flow and I, if I have
960
00:32:43,816 --> 00:32:45,762
Logan Macrae: nothing going on, I just kind of do
961
00:32:45,802 --> 00:32:48,627
Logan Macrae: something that I enjoy get back to, you
962
00:32:48,647 --> 00:32:50,670
Logan Macrae: know, stay in shape or whatever I can.
963
00:32:50,730 --> 00:32:53,315
Logan Macrae: That just is kind of self maintenance.
964
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,403
Marc Preston: Now I have to ask because I mean, you know
965
00:32:55,444 --> 00:32:57,027
Marc Preston: this, the whole New Orleans thing, where is
966
00:32:57,347 --> 00:32:58,810
Marc Preston: where you're, like, you have a top three
967
00:32:58,850 --> 00:33:00,454
Marc Preston: places, you like to hit the grab a bite to
968
00:33:00,514 --> 00:33:03,946
Marc Preston: eat, and you know because you're probably
969
00:33:03,986 --> 00:33:05,630
Marc Preston: within walking distance is some good places,
970
00:33:05,690 --> 00:33:06,011

Logan Macrae: French seventy five, that's a great way to
979
00:33:23,665 --> 00:33:24,208
Logan Macrae: start a night.
980
00:33:25,321 --> 00:33:26,832
Marc Preston: That seems to be the place where I take
981
00:33:26,872 --> 00:33:27,900
Marc Preston: most people to come to town.
982
00:33:28,020 --> 00:33:30,570
Marc Preston: I'm like you know, they say, if I see the
983
00:33:30,610 --> 00:33:32,417
Marc Preston: French Quarter once a year, that's, that's
984
00:33:32,658 --> 00:33:33,080
Marc Preston: a rarity.
985
00:33:33,180 --> 00:33:33,561
Marc Preston: I never.
986
00:33:34,242 --> 00:33:35,846
Marc Preston: People think, oh, you're, you're all.
987
00:33:35,866 --> 00:33:37,510
Marc Preston: It's like people New York saying, oh, do
988
00:33:37,550 --> 00:33:38,832
Marc Preston: you go to Times Square all the time?
989
00:33:39,013 --> 00:33:41,829

00:33:47,203 --> 00:33:49,546
Logan Macrae: I could list restaurants and somebody will

00:33:49,567 --> 00:33:50,829
Logan Macrae: speak to somebody the next day and they'd

Logan Macrae: and never even heard of it before?
996
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:57,725
Logan Macrae: And there's so many great little spots that
997
00:33:57,785 --> 00:34:01,832
Logan Macrae: are just like hidden gems here that you're
998
00:34:01,872 --> 00:34:03,114
Logan Macrae: always finding something new.

Marc Preston: I really really dig it.
00:34:21,163 --> 00:34:24,211
Marc Preston: But another thing here is people who live
00:34:24,251 --> 00:34:24,792
Marc Preston: in New Orleans.
00:34:25,161 --> 00:34:26,044
Marc Preston: You got to have your places.
00:34:26,064 --> 00:34:27,409
Marc Preston: You go to eat and you're watering.
00:34:27,460 --> 00:34:29,528
Marc Preston: I don't really go that to get drinks hardly
00:34:29,568 --> 00:34:29,688
Marc Preston: ever.
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,204
Marc Preston: But yeah, you definitely got your places
00:34:31,244 --> 00:34:32,829
Marc Preston: where you like to go grab a bite to eat or
00:34:32,849 --> 00:34:33,751
Marc Preston: a burger or whatever.
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,405
Marc Preston: You know you have your place and you're
00:34:35,446 --> 00:34:36,349
Marc Preston: willing to drive to it.
00:34:37,042 --> 00:34:38,786
Marc Preston: Superior, actually, on a Mexican restaurant
00:34:38,806 --> 00:34:41,052
Marc Preston: down the Superior Grill, I think as well.
00:34:41,220 --> 00:34:43,869
Marc Preston: So, but Superior Seafood it's very on point.
00:34:43,909 --> 00:34:45,323
Marc Preston: Yes, now the only thing we don't have you
00:34:45,363 --> 00:34:48,451
Marc Preston: had New York was we don't have a good deli.
00:34:48,620 --> 00:34:50,345
Marc Preston: That's the one thing that just I just kills
00:34:50,385 --> 00:34:52,871
Marc Preston: me because you know it's, you have cats and
00:34:52,911 --> 00:34:53,212
Marc Preston: all that.
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,005
Marc Preston: Me being a Jewish boy down south, it's,
00:34:55,165 --> 00:34:55,286
Marc Preston: it's.
00:34:55,847 --> 00:34:57,010
Marc Preston: It's painful sometimes.
00:34:57,110 --> 00:34:58,767
Marc Preston: You know, I tried out a place who will
00:34:58,787 --> 00:35:00,135
Marc Preston: remain nameless, everybody's like you got
00:35:00,155 --> 00:35:00,497
Marc Preston: to go there.
00:35:00,537 --> 00:35:00,980
Marc Preston: You got to go there.
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:02,466
Marc Preston: Went in there I was like, oh dear lord,
00:35:02,506 --> 00:35:02,968
Marc Preston: this is just.
00:35:03,771 --> 00:35:05,778
Marc Preston: This is almost my kids and I hold y'all
00:35:05,798 --> 00:35:06,260
Marc Preston: look to each other.
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,003
Marc Preston: This is not good.
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,808
Logan Macrae: So it's, yeah, there's just some stuff that
00:35:11,089 --> 00:35:13,304
Logan Macrae: doesn't live up, it's true, but it's.
00:35:14,407 --> 00:35:17,015
Logan Macrae: New Orleans has its own, its own take on
00:35:17,075 --> 00:35:20,327
Logan Macrae: food that you know it is not duplicatable
00:35:20,829 --> 00:35:21,310
Logan Macrae: elsewhere.
00:35:22,305 --> 00:35:22,546
Marc Preston: Indeed.
00:35:22,566 --> 00:35:23,692
Marc Preston: Yeah, man, I could talk food all day,
00:35:23,712 --> 00:35:24,738
Marc Preston: because you can kind of tell I haven't had
00:35:24,778 --> 00:35:25,120
Marc Preston: lunch yet.
00:35:25,221 --> 00:35:26,720
Marc Preston: My kids are having a bite eat in there.
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,765
Marc Preston: I'm like I literally was like checking my
00:35:28,785 --> 00:35:30,629
Marc Preston: teeth before, as I grabbed an Oreo before.
00:35:30,649 --> 00:35:32,253
Announcer: I came in here just to have something you
00:35:32,293 --> 00:35:32,393

00:35:53,491 --> 00:35:54,493
Logan Macrae: series for Apple.
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,623
Logan Macrae: It's a little bit smaller of a role, but
00:35:57,344 --> 00:36:01,591
Logan Macrae: it's with Taryn Egerton and that one.
00:36:01,772 --> 00:36:03,615
Logan Macrae: I just recently saw the preview.
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,746
Logan Macrae: I haven't been able to see my stuff yet,
00:36:05,786 --> 00:36:07,871
Logan Macrae: but the preview it looks good.
00:36:08,140 --> 00:36:08,622
Logan Macrae: It's cool.
00:36:08,662 --> 00:36:11,391
Logan Macrae: It looks like a really really suspenseful
00:36:11,552 --> 00:36:13,920
Logan Macrae: thriller that Apple TV is really seeing.
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:15,807
Marc Preston: Yeah, that's with Ray Liotta, right.
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:16,822
Logan Macrae: Correct.
00:36:16,862 --> 00:36:18,307
Logan Macrae: Yeah, yeah, it was one of the last things
00:36:18,347 --> 00:36:18,748
Logan Macrae: he did.
00:36:19,180 --> 00:36:20,723
Marc Preston: He was one of the very first interviews I
00:36:20,763 --> 00:36:26,934
Marc Preston: ever did back in um, oh god, 93, 92, 93.
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,228
Marc Preston: He was the nicest guy and I, uh but uh, but
00:36:30,248 --> 00:36:32,101
Marc Preston: that looks like a great film, greg Keneer I
00:36:32,141 --> 00:36:33,727
Marc Preston: mean, who doesn't love Greg Keneer?
00:36:33,867 --> 00:36:33,988
Marc Preston: You?
00:36:34,028 --> 00:36:34,128
Logan Macrae: know.
00:36:34,220 --> 00:36:35,443
Logan Macrae: Yeah, it's yes.
00:36:36,405 --> 00:36:38,349
Logan Macrae: It should be a really cool storyline.
00:36:39,972 --> 00:36:40,694
Logan Macrae: I'm excited for it.
00:36:40,981 --> 00:36:42,186
Logan Macrae: The period piece of it too.
00:36:42,841 --> 00:36:44,865
Logan Macrae: It was funny shooting in this house that it
00:36:44,905 --> 00:36:45,686
Logan Macrae: was just a.
00:36:46,268 --> 00:36:47,690
Logan Macrae: It was straight out of the 90s and it was
00:36:47,711 --> 00:36:48,833
Logan Macrae: just wild walking into.
00:36:49,581 --> 00:36:51,306
Marc Preston: Oh, so it's a period that was set in the
00:36:51,347 --> 00:36:51,648
Marc Preston: 90s.
00:36:51,688 --> 00:36:54,746
Logan Macrae: You say so part, yeah, part of it it was.
00:36:54,986 --> 00:36:57,091
Logan Macrae: Yeah, basically the storyline was through
00:36:57,111 --> 00:36:57,993
Logan Macrae: the 90s and I was.
00:36:58,180 --> 00:37:01,567
Logan Macrae: I was very much on the early portion of
00:37:02,229 --> 00:37:04,674
Logan Macrae: Taren Egerton's backstory a little bit.
00:37:05,541 --> 00:37:08,487
Logan Macrae: I played a high school friend of his, which
00:37:08,527 --> 00:37:10,050
Logan Macrae: was fun because you just have to.
00:37:10,131 --> 00:37:11,801
Logan Macrae: You know, I got to play this, this
00:37:11,861 --> 00:37:13,786
Logan Macrae: character that just never kind of grew up
00:37:13,866 --> 00:37:15,610
Logan Macrae: and was living in the glory days of high
00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:16,332
Logan Macrae: school football.
00:37:16,432 --> 00:37:19,587
Logan Macrae: So it's fun to kind of be that way for a
00:37:19,627 --> 00:37:20,008
Logan Macrae: little bit.
00:37:20,940 --> 00:37:23,387
Marc Preston: I did see you were doing a devotion.
00:37:23,828 --> 00:37:24,911
Marc Preston: Uh, what's, what's that about?
00:37:25,380 --> 00:37:30,931
Logan Macrae: So devotion follows the story of the first
00:37:31,272 --> 00:37:36,042
Logan Macrae: African American I'm not going to get the
00:37:36,082 --> 00:37:38,808
Logan Macrae: exact name right in terms of, but basically
00:37:38,848 --> 00:37:43,584
Logan Macrae: he was a pilot but a certain portion of the
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:46,209
Logan Macrae: armed forces but he was the first African
00:37:46,249 --> 00:37:49,014
Logan Macrae: American in that part of the arms forces
00:37:49,901 --> 00:37:52,190
Logan Macrae: and it follows the story of him and
00:37:52,250 --> 00:37:53,916
Logan Macrae: everything that he experienced, kind of
00:37:53,956 --> 00:37:55,742
Logan Macrae: traveling the world and everything.
00:37:55,902 --> 00:37:58,709
Logan Macrae: So I had a little role in there for that,
00:37:58,949 --> 00:38:03,262
Logan Macrae: playing Nikki Hilton, which was which was
00:38:03,303 --> 00:38:06,129
Logan Macrae: cool just seeing the whole set because it
00:38:06,190 --> 00:38:10,745
Logan Macrae: again is a period piece that, yeah, that
00:38:10,846 --> 00:38:12,793
Logan Macrae: one should look great, I think they're.
00:38:12,933 --> 00:38:14,961
Logan Macrae: They're intentionally separating it from
00:38:15,021 --> 00:38:16,745
Logan Macrae: Top Gun because there's some really great
00:38:17,166 --> 00:38:19,392
Logan Macrae: flying sequences and stuff in that film as
00:38:19,432 --> 00:38:19,633
Logan Macrae: well.
00:38:20,803 --> 00:38:22,270
Marc Preston: Well, before we wrap up, one thing I always
00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:23,978
Marc Preston: love to do is have my seven questions.
00:38:23,998 --> 00:38:26,004
Marc Preston: I like to kind of throw out, but I kind of
00:38:26,064 --> 00:38:27,748
Marc Preston: get to know you just do it purely for fun,
00:38:27,949 --> 00:38:29,453
Marc Preston: and I start off with one that it is
00:38:30,260 --> 00:38:31,904
Marc Preston: fortuitously a food question.
00:38:32,005 --> 00:38:34,411
Marc Preston: But what's your favorite comfort food?
00:38:34,451 --> 00:38:37,103
Marc Preston: That thing that you always like to have
00:38:37,143 --> 00:38:38,647
Marc Preston: around, or you had a rough day, you just
00:38:38,667 --> 00:38:40,372
Marc Preston: sit down and go to town on it.
00:38:41,460 --> 00:38:42,382
Logan Macrae: Comfort food.
00:38:42,823 --> 00:38:46,329
Logan Macrae: You know, I in maybe this isn't something
00:38:46,389 --> 00:38:49,154
Logan Macrae: at home, but I love authentic Mexican food.
00:38:49,420 --> 00:38:51,646
Logan Macrae: I will search out an authentic Mexican spot
00:38:51,807 --> 00:38:52,629
Logan Macrae: any day of the week.
00:38:52,709 --> 00:38:54,280
Logan Macrae: I don't know what it is, it just I love it.
00:38:54,340 --> 00:38:56,121
Logan Macrae: I grew up that way and that was that's.
00:38:56,180 --> 00:38:57,500
Logan Macrae: That's a good one, you know Colorado does
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:58,405
Logan Macrae: have some good Mexican food.
00:38:58,477 --> 00:39:00,642
Marc Preston: Now Texas I learned that there's a Texas
00:39:00,714 --> 00:39:00,995
Marc Preston: style.
00:39:01,067 --> 00:39:02,588
Marc Preston: There's like a New Mexico style.
00:39:02,588 --> 00:39:04,072

Marc Preston: They're both.
00:39:10,631 --> 00:39:13,548
Logan Macrae: They're in Metaree, uh, takaria Corona

Marc Preston: you're going to get.
00:39:27,050 --> 00:39:27,331
Logan Macrae: I'll tell.
00:39:27,371 --> 00:39:28,416
Logan Macrae: I'll say vows too.
00:39:28,476 --> 00:39:30,525
Logan Macrae: It's kind of fancy Mexican, but vows does
00:39:30,565 --> 00:39:30,947
Logan Macrae: really good.
00:39:30,987 --> 00:39:33,437

Marc Preston: the next question I got for you if you're
00:39:35,248 --> 00:39:36,215
Marc Preston: going to be sitting down with three people,
00:39:36,235 --> 00:39:37,623
Marc Preston: you're going to have a cup of coffee, talk
00:39:37,683 --> 00:39:40,252
Marc Preston: story for a few hours, living or not.
00:39:40,614 --> 00:39:42,139
Marc Preston: Who would those three people be you'd like
00:39:42,159 --> 00:39:42,841
Marc Preston: to sit down with?
00:39:43,782 --> 00:39:44,924
Marc Preston: Wow?
00:39:47,949 --> 00:39:51,335
Logan Macrae: So, going back to my stoicism, I will say I
00:39:51,395 --> 00:39:54,280
Logan Macrae: think Marcus Aurelius would be very
00:39:54,340 --> 00:39:56,134
Logan Macrae: interesting just because of what he
00:39:56,252 --> 00:39:58,726
Logan Macrae: experienced in his stoic philosophy and
00:39:58,844 --> 00:39:59,325
Logan Macrae: whatnot.
00:39:59,443 --> 00:40:01,385
Logan Macrae: There's some like memoirs and stuff that I
00:40:01,505 --> 00:40:04,892
Logan Macrae: read that were literally just his diary, so
00:40:04,933 --> 00:40:06,683
Logan Macrae: he never really expected it to become
00:40:06,783 --> 00:40:08,828
Logan Macrae: public, but they're very, very interesting.
00:40:10,472 --> 00:40:14,242
Logan Macrae: And then, you know, I had a friend of mine
00:40:14,262 --> 00:40:15,388
Logan Macrae: believes this and I think too.
00:40:15,489 --> 00:40:16,675
Logan Macrae: I think somebody that would be very
00:40:16,716 --> 00:40:18,385
Logan Macrae: interesting from his life experiences would
00:40:18,425 --> 00:40:19,671

00:40:19,711 --> 00:40:21,138
Logan Macrae: I would love to sit down with that man.
00:40:21,158 --> 00:40:23,549
Logan Macrae: I think everything that he accomplished and
00:40:23,609 --> 00:40:25,296
Logan Macrae: his upbringing would be very, very
00:40:25,376 --> 00:40:25,919
Logan Macrae: interesting.
00:40:25,939 --> 00:40:28,045
Marc Preston: Well, he gets mentioned regularly here,
00:40:28,125 --> 00:40:28,687

00:40:29,690 --> 00:40:31,776
Logan Macrae: Really, yeah, yeah, I think.
00:40:31,896 --> 00:40:34,403

00:40:34,423 --> 00:40:35,666
Logan Macrae: He still accomplishes this day.
00:40:35,686 --> 00:40:36,067
Logan Macrae: It would be.
00:40:36,168 --> 00:40:37,912
Logan Macrae: It would be a phenomenal person to sit down
00:40:37,952 --> 00:40:38,132
Logan Macrae: with.
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,848
Logan Macrae: And then I'm trying to think you know, I I
00:40:41,888 --> 00:40:43,693
Logan Macrae: want to lean sports because I like sports.
00:40:46,020 --> 00:40:47,183
Logan Macrae: I'm going to throw out this one just
00:40:47,204 --> 00:40:48,306
Logan Macrae: because I'm such a big fan.
00:40:48,447 --> 00:40:51,404
Logan Macrae: I love Nikola Jokic from the Denver Nuggets.
00:40:51,524 --> 00:40:52,870
Logan Macrae: He's the Denver Nuggets center.
00:40:52,951 --> 00:40:54,678
Logan Macrae: He won back-to-back MVPs this year.
00:40:54,698 --> 00:40:56,063
Logan Macrae: Just give it a shout out to Denver.
00:40:56,143 --> 00:40:58,831
Logan Macrae: But a Serbian basketball player that
00:40:58,872 --> 00:41:01,580
Logan Macrae: doesn't fit basketball standards and style,
00:41:01,620 --> 00:41:03,633
Logan Macrae: but I think he'd be a cool guy to talk
00:41:03,698 --> 00:41:03,998
Logan Macrae: about.
00:41:04,064 --> 00:41:05,271
Marc Preston: I live in Dallas growing up.
00:41:05,336 --> 00:41:06,678
Marc Preston: When I remember Marc Cuban buying the

Marc Preston: Now it's a big.
00:41:14,554 --> 00:41:14,774

Marc Preston: a kid?
00:41:21,678 --> 00:41:23,144
Logan Macrae: You know, the first one that comes to mind
00:41:23,164 --> 00:41:24,751
Logan Macrae: I'm just gonna say it just because it was
00:41:24,792 --> 00:41:26,218
Logan Macrae: that era was Baywatch.
00:41:26,258 --> 00:41:28,003
Logan Macrae: So of course it was me, and Anderson, you
00:41:28,084 --> 00:41:28,926
Logan Macrae: know I mean that was.
00:41:28,986 --> 00:41:31,091
Logan Macrae: That was such an easy one because the
00:41:31,111 --> 00:41:32,825
Logan Macrae: Baywatch was huge while I was a kid.
00:41:33,307 --> 00:41:34,753
Marc Preston: People are at number one TV show in the
00:41:34,793 --> 00:41:35,798
Marc Preston: world for a while.
00:41:35,818 --> 00:41:37,405
Marc Preston: Now, if you're going to be going to, you're
00:41:37,566 --> 00:41:39,254
Marc Preston: going to be landing on an exotic island.
00:41:39,294 --> 00:41:40,862
Marc Preston: You, the wife, you're going to be there for
00:41:40,902 --> 00:41:43,253
Marc Preston: a year and okay, it's, it's a great place
00:41:43,273 --> 00:41:44,539
Marc Preston: to be, love being there, but you're not
00:41:44,559 --> 00:41:46,083
Marc Preston: going to have any streaming or anything.
00:41:46,925 --> 00:41:49,310
Marc Preston: You can't watch anything except for a DVD.
00:41:49,330 --> 00:41:51,541
Marc Preston: You bring with you and one album to listen
00:41:51,581 --> 00:41:51,742
Marc Preston: to.
00:41:51,802 --> 00:41:53,245
Marc Preston: What would that DVD and what would that
00:41:53,325 --> 00:41:53,806
Marc Preston: album be?
00:41:55,950 --> 00:42:02,348
Logan Macrae: Oh, wow, dvd.
00:42:02,428 --> 00:42:09,220
Logan Macrae: Wow, I really it would have to be something
00:42:09,241 --> 00:42:11,565
Logan Macrae: that I could watch over and over, just in
00:42:11,585 --> 00:42:13,410
Logan Macrae: the sense that it would be intriguing.
00:42:13,470 --> 00:42:15,556
Logan Macrae: So it's might be a weird one, but I'm going
00:42:15,576 --> 00:42:18,213
Logan Macrae: to say Inception, just because you could
00:42:18,253 --> 00:42:19,678
Logan Macrae: think about it a million different ways.
00:42:19,879 --> 00:42:22,048
Logan Macrae: So I'm going to say that one that's a great
00:42:22,068 --> 00:42:22,772
Logan Macrae: way of looking at it.
00:42:22,832 --> 00:42:24,743
Marc Preston: Yeah, anything Christopher Nolan does
00:42:24,783 --> 00:42:25,988
Marc Preston: you're going to be sitting there like it's
00:42:26,028 --> 00:42:27,392
Marc Preston: a different movie each time, depending on
00:42:27,412 --> 00:42:28,174
Marc Preston: your frame of mind?
00:42:28,234 --> 00:42:30,650
Logan Macrae: Yeah, I mean a tenant, I can't get my mind
00:42:30,670 --> 00:42:32,215
Logan Macrae: around still, and I've watched it three or
00:42:32,255 --> 00:42:32,716
Logan Macrae: four times.
00:42:33,066 --> 00:42:33,988
Marc Preston: I still haven't seen that.
00:42:34,028 --> 00:42:35,011
Marc Preston: I want to streaming.
00:42:35,051 --> 00:42:36,856
Marc Preston: I got to go watch it on HBO Max I think
00:42:36,936 --> 00:42:37,487
Marc Preston: it's good.
00:42:37,848 --> 00:42:40,238
Logan Macrae: It's good, but again you need a few views,
00:42:40,279 --> 00:42:41,162
Logan Macrae: which is even more.
00:42:41,182 --> 00:42:42,467
Logan Macrae: You know more of a task.
00:42:43,791 --> 00:42:51,488
Logan Macrae: And then album Jay-Z's blueprint Very good.
00:42:51,669 --> 00:42:52,794
Marc Preston: Very good, all right.
00:42:52,814 --> 00:42:53,920
Marc Preston: Now, if you're going to say, from the time
00:42:53,940 --> 00:42:55,687
Marc Preston: you wake up to the time you put your head
00:42:55,707 --> 00:42:57,532
Marc Preston: down with a pillow at night, definition of
00:42:57,573 --> 00:42:59,810
Marc Preston: a perfect day for you, what would be that
00:42:59,850 --> 00:43:01,818
Marc Preston: day, what would the component parts be of
00:43:01,838 --> 00:43:04,329
Marc Preston: that day, that is, waking up with a very
00:43:04,389 --> 00:43:06,318
Marc Preston: good cup of coffee because nothing starts
00:43:06,338 --> 00:43:08,667
Marc Preston: my day poorly is like a bad cup of coffee,
00:43:10,533 --> 00:43:11,457
Marc Preston: just with my books.
00:43:11,517 --> 00:43:13,604
Logan Macrae: I start every day with a coffee and some
00:43:13,664 --> 00:43:15,428
Logan Macrae: books that I just read a couple of chapters
00:43:15,588 --> 00:43:17,451
Logan Macrae: of, and I think that that puts me in the
00:43:17,532 --> 00:43:19,235
Logan Macrae: right mindset.
00:43:21,765 --> 00:43:23,572
Logan Macrae: You know, a long walk with my wife and the
00:43:23,632 --> 00:43:26,423
Logan Macrae: dogs, just because I think walking is
00:43:26,544 --> 00:43:27,971
Logan Macrae: probably one of the best things anybody can
00:43:28,011 --> 00:43:30,102
Logan Macrae: do, a on exercise and B mentally.
00:43:30,162 --> 00:43:31,567
Logan Macrae: It just kind of clears the head and puts
00:43:31,587 --> 00:43:32,389
Logan Macrae: you in the right place.
00:43:36,781 --> 00:43:38,726
Logan Macrae: And then, you know, I did probably just
00:43:38,746 --> 00:43:40,593
Logan Macrae: touch in base with my parents.
00:43:40,754 --> 00:43:43,043
Logan Macrae: You know I talked to my parents a lot.
00:43:43,123 --> 00:43:45,770
Logan Macrae: I talk to them almost every single day and
00:43:45,950 --> 00:43:46,832
Logan Macrae: you know they're far away.
00:43:46,912 --> 00:43:50,486
Logan Macrae: But I think just being able to do that
00:43:50,546 --> 00:43:51,548
Logan Macrae: means something to me.
00:43:52,992 --> 00:43:54,436
Logan Macrae: And then some level of accomplishment.
00:43:54,536 --> 00:43:56,308
Logan Macrae: I think that you know there's something in
00:43:56,348 --> 00:43:58,313
Logan Macrae: there that the days that I actually go
00:43:58,373 --> 00:44:01,913
Logan Macrae: about really setting goals and I can kind
00:44:01,953 --> 00:44:04,261
Logan Macrae: of cross those all off the list, I just go
00:44:04,281 --> 00:44:05,746
Logan Macrae: to bed and sleep a little bit better at
00:44:05,786 --> 00:44:06,007
Logan Macrae: night.
00:44:06,147 --> 00:44:09,815
Logan Macrae: So I think some level of you know just goal
00:44:09,855 --> 00:44:10,817
Logan Macrae: to accomplish that day.
00:44:11,685 --> 00:44:12,026
Marc Preston: Very good.
00:44:12,467 --> 00:44:13,491
Marc Preston: That comes up quite frequently.
00:44:13,511 --> 00:44:15,557
Marc Preston: That's a good thing to get accomplished.
00:44:15,858 --> 00:44:17,495
Marc Preston: I talked to Tommy Chong yesterday and he
00:44:17,515 --> 00:44:18,984
Marc Preston: said just to get my garage clean, that
00:44:19,024 --> 00:44:21,475
Marc Preston: would be a good day for me, it's like the
00:44:21,516 --> 00:44:22,982
Marc Preston: little things that we kind of find they
00:44:23,002 --> 00:44:23,967
Marc Preston: just want to get done.
00:44:24,067 --> 00:44:24,830
Logan Macrae: Yeah, it's my.
00:44:25,031 --> 00:44:26,396
Logan Macrae: Yeah, it's truly.
00:44:26,436 --> 00:44:27,501
Logan Macrae: It's like my backyard.
00:44:27,561 --> 00:44:29,248
Logan Macrae: You know, everything grows like a jungle
00:44:29,308 --> 00:44:32,630
Logan Macrae: down here, yeah, and it's about to go into
00:44:32,670 --> 00:44:33,612
Logan Macrae: high gear in a moment.
00:44:33,652 --> 00:44:34,754
Marc Preston: Yeah, now if?
00:44:35,015 --> 00:44:35,957
Marc Preston: Last couple of questions.
00:44:36,325 --> 00:44:38,874
Marc Preston: If you weren't acting, if you had model, if
00:44:39,596 --> 00:44:42,085
Marc Preston: anything entertained, if another was really
00:44:42,426 --> 00:44:43,489
Marc Preston: well, let's just say, if acting and
00:44:43,529 --> 00:44:45,615
Marc Preston: modeling was not on the radar, what would
00:44:45,635 --> 00:44:46,686
Marc Preston: your vocation be?
00:44:46,766 --> 00:44:48,390
Marc Preston: What would you want to, what would you
00:44:48,410 --> 00:44:49,533
Marc Preston: think you would find joy doing?
00:44:50,925 --> 00:44:51,487
Logan Macrae: You know there was a.
00:44:51,527 --> 00:44:53,493
Logan Macrae: There was a point in time and I did almost
00:44:53,553 --> 00:44:55,566
Logan Macrae: head in that direction and I think if I was
00:44:55,647 --> 00:45:02,158
Logan Macrae: looking for just a really it's something
00:45:02,178 --> 00:45:04,189
Logan Macrae: that just gives me a level of satisfaction
00:45:04,230 --> 00:45:05,858
Logan Macrae: with what I'm doing with my life is I
00:45:05,918 --> 00:45:07,466
Logan Macrae: almost went into teaching for a little
00:45:07,486 --> 00:45:07,747
Logan Macrae: while.
00:45:07,807 --> 00:45:09,193
Logan Macrae: I'm not sure exactly what level.
00:45:09,233 --> 00:45:12,425
Logan Macrae: I would have wanted to do it, but I liked
00:45:12,525 --> 00:45:13,067
Logan Macrae: that idea.
00:45:13,127 --> 00:45:15,877
Logan Macrae: You know, I think helping youth and, you
00:45:15,897 --> 00:45:18,926
Logan Macrae: know, being around those type of minds and
00:45:18,966 --> 00:45:21,012
Logan Macrae: growing them is important, so I think
00:45:21,072 --> 00:45:22,295
Logan Macrae: teaching would have been nice if I could do
00:45:22,315 --> 00:45:22,656
Logan Macrae: anything.
00:45:23,125 --> 00:45:23,687
Marc Preston: I'm the same about with you.
00:45:23,707 --> 00:45:25,934
Marc Preston: I think teaching there's a, there's a zen
00:45:25,974 --> 00:45:26,194
Marc Preston: to it.
00:45:26,295 --> 00:45:27,812
Marc Preston: You know, it's kind of like we're all, to
00:45:27,852 --> 00:45:29,623
Marc Preston: some degree, encyclopedias of something
00:45:29,663 --> 00:45:31,090
Marc Preston: it's kind of nice to share with me.
00:45:31,130 --> 00:45:33,500
Marc Preston: It's just a bunch of BS but you know.
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:34,926
Marc Preston: Now, last question if you could jump in a
00:45:34,966 --> 00:45:37,393
Marc Preston: DeLorean travel back, you're 16 years old,
00:45:37,433 --> 00:45:40,069
Marc Preston: you got a couple minutes with 16, 16 year
00:45:40,089 --> 00:45:41,194
Marc Preston: old Logan and you can.
00:45:41,897 --> 00:45:42,901
Marc Preston: You got some wisdom.
00:45:42,941 --> 00:45:43,664
Marc Preston: You got some knowledge.
00:45:43,684 --> 00:45:45,853
Marc Preston: You got a piece of advice that you really
00:45:45,934 --> 00:45:48,324
Marc Preston: think you should share with 16 year old you.
00:45:48,364 --> 00:45:48,846
Marc Preston: What would it be?
00:45:50,865 --> 00:45:56,581
Logan Macrae: I would just say keep your, you know, don't
00:45:56,621 --> 00:45:58,085
Logan Macrae: let your lows get too low, don't let your
00:45:58,185 --> 00:45:59,370
Logan Macrae: highs get too high.
00:45:59,450 --> 00:46:00,796
Logan Macrae: I think you know.
00:46:00,836 --> 00:46:02,884
Logan Macrae: I think especially in this type of industry
00:46:02,904 --> 00:46:04,650
Logan Macrae: there's things that give you a big head and
00:46:04,670 --> 00:46:06,595
Logan Macrae: then there's a lot of rejection that comes
00:46:06,655 --> 00:46:07,117
Logan Macrae: in there too.
00:46:07,345 --> 00:46:09,670
Logan Macrae: That I think if you can keep just that
00:46:09,851 --> 00:46:12,596
