103

00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,365

00:03:11,780 --> 00:03:13,565

Marc Preston: Are you feeling settled in yet, or is it

105

00:03:13,585 --> 00:03:14,046

114

00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,346

115

00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,685

Rupert Evans: I'm living in a sea of boxes.

116

00:03:30,201 --> 00:03:31,607

Marc Preston: Oh no, here's the thing.

117

00:03:31,941 --> 00:03:34,227

Marc Preston: I've got this frame perfectly so you can't

118

00:03:34,267 --> 00:03:35,470

Marc Preston: see the shit that's on my right here

119

00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,087

Marc Preston: there's boxes and stuff and everything.

120

00:03:38,420 --> 00:03:40,187

Marc Preston: I've made it look very presentable because

121

00:03:40,608 --> 00:03:42,556

Marc Preston: I don't want to look at Gosher or anything,

122

00:03:42,616 --> 00:03:43,640

Marc Preston: but that's not funny.

123

00:03:44,523 --> 00:03:45,881

Marc Preston: Me too, if you should see when you move

124

00:03:45,921 --> 00:03:48,167

Marc Preston: somewhere there's always some stuff that

125

00:03:48,187 --> 00:03:49,230

Marc Preston: you don't know where to put it.

126

00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,007

Marc Preston: It's like this fit in my last place, where

127

00:03:52,027 --> 00:03:52,348

Marc Preston: am I going to?

128

00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,506

Marc Preston: Then you start having this epiphany of like

129

00:03:54,787 --> 00:03:55,671

Marc Preston: I got too much stuff.

130

00:03:56,012 --> 00:03:56,233

Marc Preston: Oh my God.

131

00:03:57,237 --> 00:04:00,768

Rupert Evans: I've been yeah, oh no, that's exactly

132

00:04:00,808 --> 00:04:01,471

Rupert Evans: what's happening to me.

133

00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,804

Rupert Evans: I'm sorting through my life.

134

00:04:02,944 --> 00:04:04,309

Rupert Evans: It's just nuts, it's crazy.

135

00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:05,925

Marc Preston: Well, that begs the question where were you

136

00:04:05,945 --> 00:04:06,990

Marc Preston: living for the last five?

137

00:04:07,060 --> 00:04:08,725

Marc Preston: Were you just traveling around shooting, or

138

00:04:08,846 --> 00:04:10,430

Marc Preston: were you living somewhere else?

139

00:04:11,904 --> 00:04:13,308

Marc Preston: I've been in Vancouver for five, six years.

140

00:04:14,660 --> 00:04:15,564

Marc Preston: You were living in Vancouver.

141

00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:17,906

Marc Preston: Is that where they shoot, charmed?

142

00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:20,025

Rupert Evans: Yeah, and then before that it was man and I

143

00:04:20,065 --> 00:04:20,546

Rupert Evans: Castle.

144

00:04:23,541 --> 00:04:24,784

Rupert Evans: It's just been home for the last.

145

00:04:26,026 --> 00:04:28,872

Rupert Evans: I've done three jobs in a row, just weirdly.

146

00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,383

Rupert Evans: So, yeah, every time.

147

00:04:30,864 --> 00:04:31,848

Rupert Evans: I don't know, I don't know why.

148

00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,244

Rupert Evans: It's just that sometimes it goes in cycles,

149

00:04:34,545 --> 00:04:37,532

Rupert Evans: whether it's I spent a lot of time in

150

00:04:37,572 --> 00:04:41,046

Rupert Evans: Budapest for a while, then Prague, and then

151

00:04:41,106 --> 00:04:43,351

Rupert Evans: Lithuania, and it just sort of goes round

152

00:04:43,391 --> 00:04:44,092

Rupert Evans: and round in circles.

153

00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,461

Marc Preston: I've seen such a consistent trend Budapest

154

00:04:47,501 --> 00:04:50,911

Marc Preston: comes up, prague comes up, vancouver comes

155

00:04:50,971 --> 00:04:51,031

Marc Preston: up.

156

00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,305

Marc Preston: Seems like there are a lot of locations

157

00:04:52,325 --> 00:04:53,823

Marc Preston: that are consistent New Orleans used to be

158

00:04:53,983 --> 00:04:55,649

Marc Preston: one of actually it's coming back a little

159

00:04:55,709 --> 00:04:58,085

Marc Preston: bit Atlanta or Georgia's, which is where so

160

00:04:58,125 --> 00:04:58,847

Marc Preston: much is happening.

161

00:04:58,907 --> 00:05:00,351

Marc Preston: That used to be more in New Orleans.

162

00:05:01,121 --> 00:05:02,126

Marc Preston: It's so funny to talk to actors.

163

00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,250

Marc Preston: They always kind of enjoy the ones that

164

00:05:04,290 --> 00:05:06,119

Marc Preston: come down here and shoot a series or

165

00:05:06,159 --> 00:05:07,484

Marc Preston: something like that, because then kind of

166

00:05:07,524 --> 00:05:08,447

Marc Preston: play around a little bit.

167

00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,572

Marc Preston: I found that if you're going to be

168

00:05:11,632 --> 00:05:12,939

Marc Preston: somewhere for a few months, it's kind of

169

00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:14,424

Marc Preston: good to be somewhere you actually want to

170

00:05:14,464 --> 00:05:15,367

Marc Preston: be, I suppose.

171

00:05:15,748 --> 00:05:17,504

Rupert Evans: Oh yeah, I mean listen, new Orleans is

172

00:05:17,544 --> 00:05:18,327

Rupert Evans: really happening now.

173

00:05:18,861 --> 00:05:20,705

Rupert Evans: So in fact I have a friend who's a DP who's

174

00:05:20,786 --> 00:05:23,372

Rupert Evans: just starting on a job right now in New

175

00:05:23,412 --> 00:05:26,766

Rupert Evans: Orleans a big show, so that's just starting.

176

00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,106

Rupert Evans: So I think things are happening.

177

00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,510

Rupert Evans: It's all about the tax breaks, my friend.

178

00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,485

Rupert Evans: It's all about the tax breaks and it's

179

00:05:31,806 --> 00:05:33,271

Rupert Evans: whoever gives the biggest tax break.

180

00:05:33,581 --> 00:05:34,925

Marc Preston: Now I have to be honest, I had to go catch

181

00:05:34,965 --> 00:05:36,349

Marc Preston: up a little bit Charmed.

182

00:05:37,521 --> 00:05:39,829

Marc Preston: I of course I'm a little bit myself

183

00:05:39,910 --> 00:05:42,038

Marc Preston: probably a little outside the age range of

184

00:05:42,058 --> 00:05:44,285

Marc Preston: a lot of CW programming, although a lot of

185

00:05:44,305 --> 00:05:45,709

Marc Preston: it's really good, don't get me wrong.

186

00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,264

Marc Preston: I went and checked it out and I was like

187

00:05:47,284 --> 00:05:50,082

Marc Preston: man, this is kind of a fun show and it's.

188

00:05:50,884 --> 00:05:51,445

Marc Preston: I'm trying to remember.

189

00:05:51,465 --> 00:05:52,828

Marc Preston: The original Charmed came out.

190

00:05:53,369 --> 00:05:54,471

Marc Preston: Was it like late 90s?

191

00:05:54,571 --> 00:05:57,159

Marc Preston: I think it was late 90s, early 2000s.

192

00:05:57,541 --> 00:05:58,505

Rupert Evans: Yeah, I think you're right.

193

00:05:58,645 --> 00:05:59,288

Rupert Evans: I think you're right.

194

00:05:59,781 --> 00:06:01,046

Rupert Evans: I mean, I didn't do much money.

195

00:06:01,321 --> 00:06:02,606

Rupert Evans: I've never actually watched the original,

196

00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:04,667

Rupert Evans: so I can't remember, but it was huge.

197

00:06:04,780 --> 00:06:05,763

Rupert Evans: I mean, it was a big, big, you know.

198

00:06:05,783 --> 00:06:07,107

Rupert Evans: I think it went for seven seasons and it

199

00:06:07,127 --> 00:06:09,466

Rupert Evans: was, and it paved the way, didn't it, for

200

00:06:09,546 --> 00:06:09,626

Rupert Evans: us.

201

00:06:09,820 --> 00:06:11,626

Rupert Evans: So, yeah, it was certainly a hit show, the

202

00:06:11,646 --> 00:06:12,790

Rupert Evans: first, the first time round.

203

00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,669

Marc Preston: Now you've had four seasons of this

204

00:06:16,729 --> 00:06:17,691

Marc Preston: incarnation of Charmed.

205

00:06:17,731 --> 00:06:18,252

Marc Preston: Is that correct?

206

00:06:18,580 --> 00:06:20,027

Marc Preston: Yeah, I've just finished the fourth season.

207

00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,026

Marc Preston: Well, hey, in the world of TV, man going to

208

00:06:22,046 --> 00:06:23,711

Marc Preston: be, especially with streaming, going beyond

209

00:06:23,780 --> 00:06:25,764

Marc Preston: three seasons, that's, that's, that's.

210

00:06:26,586 --> 00:06:28,089

Marc Preston: You're doing pretty well if you can do that.

211

00:06:28,289 --> 00:06:31,103

Rupert Evans: Yeah, yeah, I think we're very lucky

212

00:06:31,123 --> 00:06:33,195

Rupert Evans: because, you know, the pandemic didn't

213

00:06:33,255 --> 00:06:35,003

Rupert Evans: really affect us either too too much.

214

00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,684

Rupert Evans: We had to wait a little longer to start up

215

00:06:37,725 --> 00:06:38,025

Rupert Evans: again.

216

00:06:38,106 --> 00:06:40,682

Rupert Evans: But I feel very lucky, very blessed, and

217

00:06:41,204 --> 00:06:42,731

Rupert Evans: you know it's good fun and they they're

218

00:06:42,751 --> 00:06:44,640

Rupert Evans: very kind to me and CBS Studios are very,

219

00:06:45,322 --> 00:06:46,425

Rupert Evans: you know, they're very passionate about

220

00:06:46,445 --> 00:06:48,671

Rupert Evans: this show and they let me direct it as well

221

00:06:48,731 --> 00:06:48,871

Rupert Evans: now.

222

00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:51,046

Rupert Evans: So I've been directing it for the last

223

00:06:51,707 --> 00:06:55,385

Rupert Evans: three seasons, so it's been good fun acting

224

00:06:55,445 --> 00:06:57,450

Rupert Evans: and directing in a show and being a part of

225

00:06:57,470 --> 00:06:58,432

Rupert Evans: the creative process.

226

00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,727

Marc Preston: Yeah, how many episodes per season are they?

227

00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,281

Rupert Evans: You only.

228

00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:02,326

Rupert Evans: I can only do one.

229

00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:05,290

Rupert Evans: I can only do one, one a season because the

230

00:07:05,310 --> 00:07:07,640

Rupert Evans: prep that it takes, you know, you have to

231

00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,043

Rupert Evans: sort of literally take an episode off

232

00:07:09,084 --> 00:07:11,730

Rupert Evans: before and then the episode you're actually

233

00:07:11,750 --> 00:07:15,328

Rupert Evans: directing is one of the one, and then then

234

00:07:15,348 --> 00:07:16,170

Rupert Evans: the editing as well.

235

00:07:16,340 --> 00:07:17,986

Rupert Evans: So it actually takes up quite a lot of time.

236

00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,107

Rupert Evans: So it's hard for them to give me really any

237

00:07:21,147 --> 00:07:21,569

Rupert Evans: more than that.

238

00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,024

Rupert Evans: So we try and sort of they finesse the

239

00:07:24,064 --> 00:07:27,430

Rupert Evans: schedule for me a lot to allow me just to

240

00:07:27,470 --> 00:07:28,732

Rupert Evans: do the one, to be honest.

241

00:07:28,872 --> 00:07:30,682

Rupert Evans: So it's been great though I really enjoy it,

242

00:07:30,762 --> 00:07:32,087

Rupert Evans: and there's something I want to do again,

243

00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,729

Rupert Evans: so we'll hopefully I'll do more of it.

244

00:07:35,101 --> 00:07:36,146

Marc Preston: I've always been curious.

245

00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,489

Marc Preston: I know, for a regular theatrical release

246

00:07:38,529 --> 00:07:41,159

Marc Preston: you're looking at, I mean, you got a really

247

00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:42,243

Marc Preston: budget a year of your life.

248

00:07:42,343 --> 00:07:43,707

Marc Preston: You know pre-production, production,

249

00:07:43,747 --> 00:07:44,269

Marc Preston: post-production.

250

00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,925

Marc Preston: How long does it take to kind of assemble

251

00:07:47,666 --> 00:07:50,111

Marc Preston: an episode, get ready, and then you know

252

00:07:50,131 --> 00:07:52,323

Marc Preston: for you to shoot it and then and then the

253

00:07:52,343 --> 00:07:53,646

Marc Preston: second part of the question is are you even

254

00:07:53,666 --> 00:07:55,110

Marc Preston: involved, like the editing part of it?

255

00:07:55,391 --> 00:07:58,027

Rupert Evans: Yeah, I mean, listen, you would be amazed.

256

00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:00,725

Rupert Evans: You have a visiting director will have

257

00:08:01,707 --> 00:08:03,290

Rupert Evans: eight days, eight, nine days.

258

00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:06,986

Rupert Evans: We shoot eight day episodes or eight and a

259

00:08:07,086 --> 00:08:07,989

Rupert Evans: half day episodes.

260

00:08:09,805 --> 00:08:11,329

Rupert Evans: So the next director will have eight and a

261

00:08:11,369 --> 00:08:15,120

Rupert Evans: half days to prep, to prepare, and then you

262

00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,366

Rupert Evans: will have your eight days to shoot.

263

00:08:16,540 --> 00:08:19,388

Rupert Evans: So it's the turnaround is incredibly quick

264

00:08:19,829 --> 00:08:20,431

Rupert Evans: and it's incredible.

265

00:08:21,243 --> 00:08:23,270

Rupert Evans: You know the whole kind of setup.

266

00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:25,819

Rupert Evans: It's a huge machine and you arrive and the

267

00:08:25,859 --> 00:08:27,764

Rupert Evans: day you arrive the first thing you'll do is

268

00:08:27,824 --> 00:08:30,190

Rupert Evans: scout locations, you know, get those set as

269

00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:30,892

Rupert Evans: soon as possible.

270

00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,904

Rupert Evans: You have casting calls that day and

271

00:08:33,124 --> 00:08:35,129

Rupert Evans: instantly the machine, you know, starts

272

00:08:35,170 --> 00:08:36,782

Rupert Evans: props set, design.

273

00:08:37,023 --> 00:08:38,813

Rupert Evans: You know our director, you know all those

274

00:08:38,853 --> 00:08:40,742

Rupert Evans: things and decisions have to be made really

275

00:08:40,782 --> 00:08:42,768

Rupert Evans: within the first two or three days about

276

00:08:42,828 --> 00:08:44,192

Rupert Evans: how are they going to do this and how are

277

00:08:44,212 --> 00:08:44,954

Rupert Evans: they going to break it.

278

00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:46,465

Marc Preston: You got to hope you have a really good team

279

00:08:46,505 --> 00:08:48,322

Marc Preston: assembled already, I guess yeah, that's

280

00:08:48,523 --> 00:08:50,009

Marc Preston: from what I you know I would like to say

281

00:08:50,049 --> 00:08:52,962

Marc Preston: that movies are more of a director's medium,

282

00:08:53,142 --> 00:08:54,568

Marc Preston: tv's more of a writer's medium.

283

00:08:54,740 --> 00:08:55,808

Marc Preston: So I guess it's kind of like you're kind of

284

00:08:55,848 --> 00:08:56,714

Marc Preston: jumping in a wave.

285

00:08:56,775 --> 00:08:57,500

Marc Preston: It's already rolling.

286

00:08:57,721 --> 00:08:59,169

Rupert Evans: Yeah, but you still have a huge amount of

287

00:08:59,210 --> 00:09:01,000

Rupert Evans: creativity and decisions have to be made as

288

00:09:01,140 --> 00:09:01,643

Rupert Evans: a director.

289

00:09:01,783 --> 00:09:03,871

Rupert Evans: You know and that's the great fun bit you

290

00:09:03,891 --> 00:09:05,317

Rupert Evans: have real say on.

291

00:09:05,457 --> 00:09:07,286

Rupert Evans: You know when you get your episode although

292

00:09:07,326 --> 00:09:09,836

Rupert Evans: you have no say you know about, you know

293

00:09:09,856 --> 00:09:11,760

Rupert Evans: you do have some say but you have, you get

294

00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,764

Rupert Evans: given an episode, so you just no idea what

295

00:09:13,784 --> 00:09:16,409

Rupert Evans: the story is gonna be for that particular

296

00:09:17,056 --> 00:09:19,160

Rupert Evans: Episode and that's kind of half the you

297

00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,605

Rupert Evans: know the trick, or you know, part of the

298

00:09:21,645 --> 00:09:23,469

Rupert Evans: job is to kind of really be able to kind of

299

00:09:24,275 --> 00:09:27,739

Rupert Evans: Carv out an interesting episode that you

300

00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:28,160

Rupert Evans: love.

301

00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,781

Rupert Evans: You know from the script that you get and

302

00:09:29,801 --> 00:09:32,064

Rupert Evans: you get so little time so it's, it's, it's

303

00:09:32,164 --> 00:09:33,646

Rupert Evans: incredible learning curve and it's

304

00:09:33,706 --> 00:09:35,788

Rupert Evans: something that I really enjoy is where you

305

00:09:35,868 --> 00:09:37,490

Rupert Evans: learn how to direct, because you have to

306

00:09:37,530 --> 00:09:39,416

Rupert Evans: direct very quickly, you have to make

307

00:09:39,456 --> 00:09:43,020

Rupert Evans: decisions very quickly, instinctively, and

308

00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,383

Rupert Evans: it's, it's, yeah, it's, it's really kind of

309

00:09:45,403 --> 00:09:46,104

Rupert Evans: see if your pants.

310

00:09:46,405 --> 00:09:48,327

Rupert Evans: I always think that directing tv is like

311

00:09:48,788 --> 00:09:50,069

Rupert Evans: you know, they give you a kind of very

312

00:09:50,129 --> 00:09:54,899

Rupert Evans: expensive Ferrari With gold sort of alloy

313

00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,382

Rupert Evans: wheels and they say, right, here are here

314

00:09:57,402 --> 00:10:00,166

Rupert Evans: the keys, and it's the most expensive car

315

00:10:00,206 --> 00:10:01,868

Rupert Evans: you've ever been driven you ever driven and

316

00:10:01,888 --> 00:10:03,610

Rupert Evans: you gotta drive it from this point to that

317

00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:07,002

Rupert Evans: point and you got, yeah, and you can't, and

318

00:10:07,022 --> 00:10:08,666

Rupert Evans: I want to have it back with no scratches,

319

00:10:10,157 --> 00:10:12,002

Rupert Evans: nothing wrong, in perfect condition, and

320

00:10:12,322 --> 00:10:13,866

Rupert Evans: they don't tell you is along the way it's

321

00:10:13,886 --> 00:10:14,287

Rupert Evans: gonna be.

322

00:10:14,347 --> 00:10:17,640

Rupert Evans: You know Pot holes, riots, screaming tears,

323

00:10:17,740 --> 00:10:19,825

Rupert Evans: but the other end of it you can and you get

324

00:10:19,845 --> 00:10:21,588

Rupert Evans: to give the keys back, and you know so.

325

00:10:22,216 --> 00:10:24,039

Marc Preston: It's like what you get a few seasons and

326

00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:25,882

Marc Preston: everybody has a good sense of who they are

327

00:10:25,942 --> 00:10:26,623

Marc Preston: as a character.

328

00:10:26,703 --> 00:10:28,887

Marc Preston: So you can, you know how to honor.

329

00:10:28,947 --> 00:10:31,196

Marc Preston: That is yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, as

330

00:10:31,216 --> 00:10:32,538

Marc Preston: opposed to trying to kind of alter.

331

00:10:33,460 --> 00:10:34,681

Marc Preston: You know characters and stuff.

332

00:10:34,882 --> 00:10:36,384

Marc Preston: It seems like to me if I was an actor on

333

00:10:36,404 --> 00:10:38,968

Marc Preston: the show and I mean I can't stuff I've been

334

00:10:38,988 --> 00:10:41,255

Marc Preston: on tv wise series, wise, how's it.

335

00:10:41,275 --> 00:10:42,858

Marc Preston: They are weak player, you know is pretty

336

00:10:42,878 --> 00:10:45,662

Marc Preston: much it, but but when you're, everybody

337

00:10:45,682 --> 00:10:46,603

Marc Preston: kind of is in the flow.

338

00:10:46,623 --> 00:10:48,445

Marc Preston: It seems like it's probably easy when you

339

00:10:48,466 --> 00:10:50,068

Marc Preston: have a cast member directing because they

340

00:10:50,128 --> 00:10:52,151

Marc Preston: already know the ecosystem and that kind of.

341

00:10:52,656 --> 00:10:53,076

Marc Preston: Is that it?

342

00:10:53,117 --> 00:10:54,560

Marc Preston: Or do you get pushed back because they do

343

00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,242

Marc Preston: know you so well?

344

00:10:55,803 --> 00:10:59,517

Rupert Evans: well, I think actually, yeah, I think

345

00:10:59,617 --> 00:11:01,760

Rupert Evans: actually they very accommodating and I

346

00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,803

Rupert Evans: think the privilege of being a part of the

347

00:11:03,843 --> 00:11:05,406

Rupert Evans: show and then suddenly directing is that

348

00:11:05,426 --> 00:11:06,787

Rupert Evans: they, you know, you know people, so you

349

00:11:06,828 --> 00:11:08,630

Rupert Evans: know, you understand them and they trust

350

00:11:08,670 --> 00:11:08,810

Rupert Evans: you.

351

00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,064

Rupert Evans: You know actors, you know acting directors,

352

00:11:13,156 --> 00:11:13,917

Rupert Evans: directors and actors.

353

00:11:13,957 --> 00:11:15,399

Rupert Evans: There's a trust issue when visiting

354

00:11:15,439 --> 00:11:16,139

Rupert Evans: directors come in.

355

00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:17,601

Rupert Evans: It's really hard for them, you know,

356

00:11:17,661 --> 00:11:19,824

Rupert Evans: because I don't know anybody and you know

357

00:11:19,844 --> 00:11:20,965

Rupert Evans: everyone's kind of judging you.

358

00:11:21,025 --> 00:11:22,848

Rupert Evans: So I think you're kind of part of a winning

359

00:11:22,888 --> 00:11:24,470

Rupert Evans: team when it's like a home run.

360

00:11:24,510 --> 00:11:26,335

Rupert Evans: Really, you know, everybody knows you, the

361

00:11:26,355 --> 00:11:28,419

Rupert Evans: camera department, particularly dp, who's

362

00:11:28,479 --> 00:11:30,823

Rupert Evans: critical to your process as a director.

363

00:11:30,903 --> 00:11:33,267

Rupert Evans: So you know you are, you're with the team,

364

00:11:33,307 --> 00:11:33,748

Rupert Evans: is with you.

365

00:11:33,828 --> 00:11:35,675

Rupert Evans: So certainly I think there are some, you

366

00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:38,779

Rupert Evans: know, there are some positives and about it.

367

00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:40,241

Rupert Evans: But also you're right, you know you're

368

00:11:40,261 --> 00:11:43,304

Rupert Evans: trying to create something distinctive and

369

00:11:43,404 --> 00:11:45,947

Rupert Evans: some people know you so well I'll say no,

370

00:11:46,008 --> 00:11:47,489

Rupert Evans: I'm not gonna walk over there because

371

00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:50,456

Rupert Evans: that's not what I'm like, please, but these

372

00:11:50,496 --> 00:11:54,361

Rupert Evans: things you know I ultimately, I think you

373

00:11:54,401 --> 00:11:56,203

Rupert Evans: know what's great is if you know the

374

00:11:56,263 --> 00:11:57,865

Rupert Evans: shortcuts do you know what I mean?

375

00:11:57,885 --> 00:11:58,966

Rupert Evans: Because you've been on the sets.

376

00:11:59,087 --> 00:12:00,488

Rupert Evans: You know the angles that work.

377

00:12:00,588 --> 00:12:03,496

Rupert Evans: Camera angles that work don't work On

378

00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:04,317

Rupert Evans: certain sets.

379

00:12:04,437 --> 00:12:07,041

Rupert Evans: So for charmed we spent a lot of time in,

380

00:12:07,242 --> 00:12:09,525

Rupert Evans: you know, the rear man, which is the house,

381

00:12:09,666 --> 00:12:12,550

Rupert Evans: and the command center which is this sort

382

00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:16,359

Rupert Evans: of Volta Cabinus kind of place underground,

383

00:12:17,060 --> 00:12:18,561

Rupert Evans: and you know you get to understand the

384

00:12:18,601 --> 00:12:20,343

Rupert Evans: camera angles and stuff and how it works

385

00:12:20,383 --> 00:12:22,365

Rupert Evans: and what looks best and how to play scenes.

386

00:12:22,466 --> 00:12:24,167

Marc Preston: So you know that that certainly has

387

00:12:24,227 --> 00:12:26,910

Marc Preston: advantages are you having another season,

388

00:12:27,231 --> 00:12:29,393

Marc Preston: five, I suppose or is this is the last

389

00:12:29,413 --> 00:12:29,653

Marc Preston: season?

390

00:12:30,536 --> 00:12:31,477

Rupert Evans: You were just.

391

00:12:31,777 --> 00:12:33,920

Rupert Evans: We know, we're just waiting to hear, we're

392

00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:34,321

Rupert Evans: not sure.

393

00:12:34,581 --> 00:12:37,885

Rupert Evans: So we are the cw and the powers that the

394

00:12:38,205 --> 00:12:39,347

Rupert Evans: haven't made their decision yet.

395

00:12:39,367 --> 00:12:40,869

Rupert Evans: So is a number of shows that are still

396

00:12:40,909 --> 00:12:41,249

Rupert Evans: waiting.

397

00:12:41,309 --> 00:12:42,231

Rupert Evans: It's not uncommon.

398

00:12:42,291 --> 00:12:44,839

Marc Preston: So We'll find out, we'll find out, we'll

399

00:12:44,859 --> 00:12:46,382

Marc Preston: see what happens, you know there is

400

00:12:46,582 --> 00:12:48,285

00:12:48,646 --> 00:12:50,088

Marc Preston: to my show, they know it's like there's so

402

00:12:50,149 --> 00:12:52,077

Marc Preston: much I always say there's so much stuff out

403

00:12:52,097 --> 00:12:54,141

Marc Preston: there to watch that it's easy to let

404

00:12:54,161 --> 00:12:55,583

Marc Preston: something slide through the cracks and it

405

00:12:55,643 --> 00:12:57,466

Marc Preston: ends up being like down the line of a

406

00:12:57,506 --> 00:12:58,247

Marc Preston: weekend binge.

407

00:12:58,628 --> 00:13:00,050

Marc Preston: I have not caught bridgerton yet.

408

00:13:00,656 --> 00:13:02,400

Marc Preston: I read that's what it is.

409

00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,545

Marc Preston: It is probably it's in the top three right

410

00:13:04,605 --> 00:13:04,806

Marc Preston: now.

411

00:13:05,066 --> 00:13:08,280

435

00:13:54,417 --> 00:13:56,300

Rupert Evans: the huge machine that is bridgerton but it

436

00:13:56,340 --> 00:13:58,563

Rupert Evans: coming in like a shit, like you know, to

438

00:14:00,326 --> 00:14:01,728

Rupert Evans: show like that for me is that there's no

439

00:14:01,788 --> 00:14:02,409

Rupert Evans: pressure for me.

440

00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:05,158

Marc Preston: do you get on a show like that, go, okay,

443

00:14:09,604 --> 00:14:11,487

Marc Preston: this is sort of kind of a period based

444

00:14:11,547 --> 00:14:13,389

Marc Preston: thing, yet scale, get some contemporary

445

00:14:13,449 --> 00:14:14,070

Marc Preston: notes, of course.

446

00:14:14,495 --> 00:14:15,837

Marc Preston: Do you have preference and what you want to

447

00:14:15,857 --> 00:14:17,780

Marc Preston: win for as far as genre, what kind of stuff

448

00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,284

Marc Preston: you want to dive into going forward?

449

00:14:20,324 --> 00:14:22,908

Marc Preston: I mean, we'll call it the bucket list of

450

00:14:22,968 --> 00:14:24,590

Marc Preston: kind of projects you would like to work on?

451

00:14:25,436 --> 00:14:28,580

Rupert Evans: Oh my gosh, my bucket list that's yeah.

452

00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,343

Rupert Evans: You know, what I think I'll find a lot of

453

00:14:31,443 --> 00:14:33,686

Rupert Evans: actors is that whatever they're doing right

454

00:14:33,746 --> 00:14:35,588

Rupert Evans: now is the one thing they don't want to be

455

00:14:35,628 --> 00:14:37,090

Rupert Evans: doing and they always kind of hope to be

456

00:14:37,130 --> 00:14:38,011

Rupert Evans: doing something else.

457

00:14:39,377 --> 00:14:40,779

Rupert Evans: I think the grass is always green.

458

00:14:40,819 --> 00:14:42,262

Rupert Evans: So, you know, it was lovely.

459

00:14:42,302 --> 00:14:43,905

Rupert Evans: About bridgerton, for example, was just,

460

00:14:44,346 --> 00:14:47,677

Rupert Evans: you know, I haven't done a period show, uk

461

00:14:47,737 --> 00:14:51,123

Rupert Evans: based period show for a long time, so it

462

00:14:51,163 --> 00:14:53,127

Rupert Evans: was nice to get, you know, dressed up and,

463

00:14:53,247 --> 00:14:56,257

Rupert Evans: you know, regency costume and and all those

464

00:14:56,397 --> 00:14:56,697

Rupert Evans: things.

465

00:14:56,777 --> 00:14:57,438

Rupert Evans: You know, it was really.

466

00:14:57,658 --> 00:14:59,661

Rupert Evans: It was great, you know, and apart from the

467

00:14:59,701 --> 00:15:01,303

Rupert Evans: endless costume fittings that take, you

468

00:15:01,323 --> 00:15:04,387

Rupert Evans: know, days and days, but despite that, even

469

00:15:04,407 --> 00:15:06,089

Rupert Evans: that was fun and it was great because you

470

00:15:06,129 --> 00:15:07,731

Rupert Evans: feel wonderful in the costume.

471

00:15:08,556 --> 00:15:09,938

Marc Preston: But isn't it kind of cool when you know

472

00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,101

Marc Preston: that somebody there in the costume

473

00:15:12,121 --> 00:15:13,804

Marc Preston: department that's actually gone stitched

474

00:15:13,844 --> 00:15:16,408

Marc Preston: together created something just for you,

475

00:15:16,568 --> 00:15:17,850

Marc Preston: you know, which is yeah.

476

00:15:18,576 --> 00:15:20,479

Rupert Evans: Yeah, and bridgerton is an exception

477

00:15:20,539 --> 00:15:22,523

Rupert Evans: because they make every single costume.

478

00:15:23,245 --> 00:15:25,008

Rupert Evans: You know I've done a lot of pbc period

479

00:15:25,048 --> 00:15:28,058

Rupert Evans: dramas Before this where you know the

480

00:15:28,078 --> 00:15:30,001

Rupert Evans: higher up the hiring, you know number of

481

00:15:30,021 --> 00:15:31,364

Rupert Evans: the costumes, but you know these guys

482

00:15:31,564 --> 00:15:34,448

Rupert Evans: literally make every single one and it is

483

00:15:34,509 --> 00:15:35,330

Rupert Evans: incredible what they do.

484

00:15:35,915 --> 00:15:38,798

Rupert Evans: So you know, I like, you know bridgerton, I

485

00:15:38,858 --> 00:15:40,880

Rupert Evans: like the sort of heightened reality.

486

00:15:41,381 --> 00:15:44,244

Rupert Evans: It's not professing to the you know sort of

487

00:15:44,324 --> 00:15:47,747

Rupert Evans: kitchen sink drama or you know realism,

488

00:15:47,847 --> 00:15:49,349

Rupert Evans: it's, it's a there's a heightened reality,

489

00:15:49,389 --> 00:15:52,072

Rupert Evans: is a joy to it and I really think that they

490

00:15:52,112 --> 00:15:54,457

Rupert Evans: have they caught something at the right

491

00:15:54,518 --> 00:15:57,201

Rupert Evans: time during the pandemic and you know we're

492

00:15:57,281 --> 00:15:59,244

Rupert Evans: all and we all got sort of absorbed into it

493

00:15:59,304 --> 00:16:00,145

Rupert Evans: and I just love it.

494

00:16:00,186 --> 00:16:02,409

Rupert Evans: It's a huge show and, as you say, it's the

495

00:16:02,909 --> 00:16:05,958

Rupert Evans: most watched English speaking show of all

496

00:16:05,977 --> 00:16:06,758

Rupert Evans: time on Netflix.

497

00:16:06,779 --> 00:16:09,762

Rupert Evans: So it's it has, you know, real, yeah, it

Rupert Evans: You know I'm speaking show of all time.

500

00:16:13,567 --> 00:16:15,609

Rupert Evans: So it's, you know, apart, I think the, I

501

00:16:15,629 --> 00:16:17,231

Rupert Evans: think the biggest one is squig game.

502

00:16:18,556 --> 00:16:20,720

Rupert Evans: So I think it's it goes squig game and it

503

00:16:20,740 --> 00:16:23,964

Rupert Evans: goes bridgerton you know I, you know couple

504

00:16:23,984 --> 00:16:25,026

00:16:28,416 --> 00:16:30,082

Marc Preston: Another one I want to go back and revisit

508

Marc Preston: episodes in and you know, life being life,

510

Marc Preston: you know, but is the man in the high castle?

511

00:16:37,386 --> 00:16:38,889

Marc Preston: What a cool concept for show.

512

00:16:40,357 --> 00:16:42,061

Marc Preston: Please refresh my memory, kind of where,

513

00:16:43,063 --> 00:16:43,243

Marc Preston: where?

00:16:43,283 --> 00:16:44,806

Marc Preston: Where did your character fall in that, in

515

00:16:44,826 --> 00:16:46,936

Marc Preston: that ecosystem of, of course you have the

516

00:16:46,956 --> 00:16:47,778

Marc Preston: germans.

517

00:16:47,798 --> 00:16:49,821

Rupert Evans: Listen, I know I the man in the high

518

00:16:49,841 --> 00:16:52,545

Rupert Evans: castles for me was very close to my heart.

519

00:16:52,605 --> 00:16:55,570

Rupert Evans: It was just it's an amazing idea comes from

520

00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:58,279

Rupert Evans: the Novel of the same name for the cake

521

00:16:58,319 --> 00:17:00,883

Rupert Evans: novel, and you know it's an alternative

522

00:17:00,943 --> 00:17:04,570

Rupert Evans: history show on amazon which, you know,

523

00:17:05,557 --> 00:17:08,083

Rupert Evans: kind of looks at the idea of what if?

524

00:17:08,444 --> 00:17:12,659

Rupert Evans: What if the nazis, germany, hitler, what if

525

00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:15,724

Rupert Evans: they had one world war, you know two, and

526

00:17:16,305 --> 00:17:18,749

Rupert Evans: so it's sort of the whole show is set in,

527

00:17:18,909 --> 00:17:22,540

Rupert Evans: you know, in the nineteen, sixties, post

528

00:17:22,581 --> 00:17:26,788

Rupert Evans: war america under nazi occupation, what you

529

00:17:26,808 --> 00:17:30,824

Rupert Evans: know, half the east, east, half of america

530

00:17:30,964 --> 00:17:35,200

Rupert Evans: is run by Nazis, west coast is run by the

531

00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,725

Rupert Evans: japanese, japanese, they kind of join

532

00:17:37,765 --> 00:17:39,749

Rupert Evans: forces in this sort of alternative history

533

00:17:39,809 --> 00:17:40,069

Rupert Evans: show.

534

00:17:41,096 --> 00:17:41,958

Rupert Evans: It's about life.

535

00:17:43,101 --> 00:17:45,206

Rupert Evans: You know my character is frank, frank and I

536

00:17:45,246 --> 00:17:50,256

Rupert Evans: play a sort of, you know, an american who I

537

00:17:50,276 --> 00:17:52,159

Rupert Evans: think it's quite alien to americans, the

538

00:17:52,639 --> 00:17:56,485

Rupert Evans: idea that actually you are a subclass in

539

00:17:56,765 --> 00:17:59,289

Rupert Evans: west coast, on the, in san francisco, under

540

00:17:59,329 --> 00:18:01,337

Rupert Evans: japanese Rule.

541

00:18:02,299 --> 00:18:05,706

Rupert Evans: But you know the all powerful nazis are

542

00:18:05,766 --> 00:18:08,637

Rupert Evans: certainly putting pressure On the japanese

543

00:18:08,677 --> 00:18:13,602

Rupert Evans: to kind of eradicate all jews and and seek

544

00:18:13,742 --> 00:18:14,483

Rupert Evans: out those.

545

00:18:14,543 --> 00:18:16,205

Rupert Evans: And I actually, you know my character, is

546

00:18:16,245 --> 00:18:19,408

Rupert Evans: jewish and so that's the story like was,

547

00:18:19,608 --> 00:18:22,131

Rupert Evans: you know, very heavy story like for me and

548

00:18:22,151 --> 00:18:22,611

Rupert Evans: for the show.

549

00:18:22,631 --> 00:18:25,499

Rupert Evans: So it was a fantastic job.

550

00:18:25,540 --> 00:18:27,263

Rupert Evans: And part of that shit, part of the book, as

551

00:18:27,303 --> 00:18:28,665

Rupert Evans: well as not only just an alternative

552

00:18:28,686 --> 00:18:30,569

Rupert Evans: history, and that is in itself enough and

553

00:18:31,236 --> 00:18:32,999

Rupert Evans: it's so interesting if you watch it seeing

554

00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,665

Rupert Evans: you know you know americans speaking nazi.

555

00:18:36,726 --> 00:18:38,829

Rupert Evans: It's kind of extraordinary having breakfast

556

00:18:39,896 --> 00:18:41,719

Rupert Evans: it's kind of crazy idea that you know what

557

00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:42,160

Rupert Evans: happened.

558

00:18:42,220 --> 00:18:43,743

Rupert Evans: What, if what you know because there was.

559

00:18:43,763 --> 00:18:46,487

Rupert Evans: There is a theory that you know that the

560

00:18:46,507 --> 00:18:50,198

Rupert Evans: nazis weren't that far away From dropping a

561

00:18:50,238 --> 00:18:52,243

Rupert Evans: bomb on washington and we're pretty, you

562

00:18:52,263 --> 00:18:55,396

Rupert Evans: know it was pretty close to that, so they

563

00:18:55,436 --> 00:18:55,576

Rupert Evans: were.

564

00:18:55,596 --> 00:18:56,598

Rupert Evans: You know they're on the way.

565

00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,621

Marc Preston: It's kind of like it's as much things

566

00:18:58,661 --> 00:19:00,283

Marc Preston: change, the kind of stay the same to kind

567

00:19:00,303 --> 00:19:00,644

Marc Preston: of watch.

568

00:19:00,664 --> 00:19:02,787

Marc Preston: That in our current state of affairs in the

569

00:19:02,827 --> 00:19:07,520

Marc Preston: world, is the same dna of Mr putin has, is

570

00:19:07,661 --> 00:19:07,921

Marc Preston: not?

571

00:19:08,082 --> 00:19:09,665

Marc Preston: You know, it's connected to this.

572

00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:13,179

Rupert Evans: It's not the, it's not beyond the bounds of

573

00:19:13,220 --> 00:19:14,242

Rupert Evans: possibility absolutely.

574

00:19:14,282 --> 00:19:15,645

Rupert Evans: And so you know, I think the show really

575

00:19:15,685 --> 00:19:16,446

Rupert Evans: tapped into something.

576

00:19:16,466 --> 00:19:16,967

Rupert Evans: I think it was.

577

00:19:17,128 --> 00:19:19,798

Rupert Evans: You know this is, you know I think it's

578

00:19:20,479 --> 00:19:22,061

Rupert Evans: came at a time where it just it was a

579

00:19:22,101 --> 00:19:23,923

Rupert Evans: really interesting idea for me and I just I

580

00:19:23,943 --> 00:19:26,747

Rupert Evans: just I love that show, I love the idea, and

581

00:19:26,767 --> 00:19:28,489

Rupert Evans: there's also a sci-fi element to the show

582

00:19:28,529 --> 00:19:31,316

Rupert Evans: as well, which, which in the books it looks

583

00:19:31,376 --> 00:19:33,019

Rupert Evans: at as well, about time travel.

584

00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:34,982

Rupert Evans: So it's a kind of extraordinary mix of sort

585

00:19:35,002 --> 00:19:37,285

Rupert Evans: of alternative history time travel, and

586

00:19:37,325 --> 00:19:37,866

Rupert Evans: it's worth the look.

587

00:19:37,906 --> 00:19:39,709

Rupert Evans: If you haven't watched the man in the high

588

00:19:39,749 --> 00:19:40,470

Rupert Evans: castle, it's worth it.

589

00:19:41,556 --> 00:19:42,758

Marc Preston: I, like I said, I think that's such a

590

00:19:42,818 --> 00:19:44,361

Marc Preston: wonderful concept.

591

00:19:44,521 --> 00:19:46,384

Marc Preston: I enjoyed, like I said, two to three

592

00:19:46,444 --> 00:19:47,065

Marc Preston: episodes of watch.

593

00:19:47,085 --> 00:19:47,686

Marc Preston: I'm gonna go back.

594

00:19:47,766 --> 00:19:49,389

Marc Preston: It's on, it's on the short list, without a

595

00:19:49,449 --> 00:19:49,650

Marc Preston: doubt.

596

00:19:57,576 --> 00:19:58,277

Marc Preston: The doorman.

597

00:19:59,479 --> 00:20:01,823

Marc Preston: And without a doubt I've got to ask us I've

598

00:20:01,864 --> 00:20:05,819

Marc Preston: always been a big genre no fan what got to

599

00:20:05,859 --> 00:20:09,349

Marc Preston: go toe-to-toe and have him to be in scenes

600

00:20:09,389 --> 00:20:10,474

Marc Preston: where he's the adversary?

601

00:20:10,675 --> 00:20:13,066

Marc Preston: You know what was that kind of, what was

602

00:20:13,086 --> 00:20:15,275

Marc Preston: that shooting like on that, on that show?

603

00:20:15,897 --> 00:20:19,269

Rupert Evans: listen, I took that job just to be with

604

00:20:19,290 --> 00:20:20,072

666

00:22:16,979 --> 00:22:17,943

Marc Preston: Yeah, I think it's got to be one of the

667

Marc Preston: keys to longevity in, yeah, this or any

668

00:22:22,401 --> 00:22:25,633

00:22:51,447 --> 00:22:52,890

Marc Preston: Was was acting and doing something

685

00:22:52,930 --> 00:22:54,974

Marc Preston: theatrical always on on the agenda, or it

686

00:22:54,994 --> 00:22:57,038

Marc Preston: was a kind of discovery where you, when you

687

00:22:57,059 --> 00:22:58,408

Marc Preston: were at University, kind of like, oh, I

688

00:22:58,428 --> 00:22:59,151

Marc Preston: kind of dig this thing.

689

00:22:59,652 --> 00:23:02,367

Marc Preston: What was the genesis of your theatrical

690

00:23:02,447 --> 00:23:02,949

Marc Preston: pursuits?

691

00:23:06,046 --> 00:23:07,991

Rupert Evans: I suppose, you know, I think I was just a

692

00:23:08,031 --> 00:23:09,996

Rupert Evans: sort of I, you know, we did a lot of acting

693

00:23:10,036 --> 00:23:13,173

Rupert Evans: at school and then, I think, you know, I

694

00:23:13,213 --> 00:23:13,394

Rupert Evans: got it.

695

00:23:13,445 --> 00:23:14,620

Rupert Evans: You know, I think I was a bit of a show if

696

00:23:14,660 --> 00:23:14,883

Rupert Evans: I got.

697

00:23:14,903 --> 00:23:16,432

Rupert Evans: You know, I suddenly saw a reaction from

698

00:23:16,472 --> 00:23:20,368

Rupert Evans: people and I was like, oh god, you know, I

699

00:23:20,408 --> 00:23:21,752

Rupert Evans: think it wasn't until a little later on,

700

00:23:21,772 --> 00:23:24,338

Rupert Evans: until I kind of, you know, I was sort of 16

701

00:23:25,385 --> 00:23:28,599

Rupert Evans: 1516 that I kind of realized that, you know,

702

00:23:28,639 --> 00:23:30,065

Rupert Evans: actually there's more to this and you know,

703

00:23:30,165 --> 00:23:31,809

Rupert Evans: you have to be kind of quite serious about

704

00:23:31,870 --> 00:23:31,930

Rupert Evans: it.

705

00:23:32,050 --> 00:23:35,359

Rupert Evans: And you know, and so I kind of always I

706

00:23:35,399 --> 00:23:38,093

Rupert Evans: don't, yeah, I kind of grew, I think

707

00:23:38,194 --> 00:23:40,361

Rupert Evans: actually I couldn't do anything else and I

708

00:23:40,401 --> 00:23:41,385

Rupert Evans: didn't want to do anything else.

709

00:23:41,727 --> 00:23:44,360

Rupert Evans: I, you know, I really enjoyed it and I just

710

00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:47,012

Rupert Evans: loved, yeah, I just loved exploring, you

711

00:23:47,032 --> 00:23:48,981

Rupert Evans: know, the world of acting and acting itself.

712

00:23:49,061 --> 00:23:50,550

Rupert Evans: So, yeah, that's, you know, I just kind of

713

00:23:51,175 --> 00:23:52,646

Rupert Evans: I thought I would grow out of it, Marc, I

714

00:23:52,706 --> 00:23:54,172

Rupert Evans: thought I would just kind of grow out of it.

715

00:23:54,225 --> 00:23:56,111

Rupert Evans: So I kind of went to school and finished

716

00:23:56,131 --> 00:23:57,495

Rupert Evans: school and thought I'll grow out of it.

717

00:23:57,565 --> 00:23:58,929

Rupert Evans: You know, then I went to university and

718

00:23:58,969 --> 00:24:00,513

Rupert Evans: thought, well, I'll do a bit here, but I,

719

00:24:00,533 --> 00:24:01,837

Rupert Evans: you know it'll just, I'll grow out of it.

720

00:24:03,047 --> 00:24:04,111

Rupert Evans: You know I'll do something else.

721

00:24:04,191 --> 00:24:05,896

Rupert Evans: And then I finished University and thought,

722

00:24:05,957 --> 00:24:06,518

Rupert Evans: what am I gonna do?

723

00:24:06,786 --> 00:24:08,233

Rupert Evans: Is there's any one thing I want to do?

724

00:24:08,815 --> 00:24:10,644

Rupert Evans: So I then thought, well, I'll try, and you

725

00:24:10,665 --> 00:24:12,734

Rupert Evans: know, I'll apply to drama school and then

726

00:24:12,754 --> 00:24:14,261

Rupert Evans: if I don't get in, then I'll just go do

727

00:24:14,301 --> 00:24:14,783

Rupert Evans: something else.

728

00:24:14,864 --> 00:24:16,531

Rupert Evans: And then I I like fortunately did get in

729

00:24:16,711 --> 00:24:18,338

Rupert Evans: and for that on in, that was it really.

730

00:24:18,358 --> 00:24:19,964

Rupert Evans: You know, and it's the greatest job in the

731

00:24:20,005 --> 00:24:20,105

Rupert Evans: world.

732

00:24:20,245 --> 00:24:22,231

Rupert Evans: You know, you get to kind of see the world,

733

00:24:22,251 --> 00:24:25,167

Rupert Evans: meet crazy people, creative people, and you

734

00:24:25,207 --> 00:24:26,713

Rupert Evans: know, if you get paid to kind of, you know,

735

00:24:26,753 --> 00:24:28,681

Rupert Evans: run around and pretend, you know, being

736

00:24:28,701 --> 00:24:29,785

Rupert Evans: chased by a ghost or something.

737

00:24:29,825 --> 00:24:31,150

Rupert Evans: I mean, I don't know, it's great.

738

00:24:31,531 --> 00:24:33,639

Marc Preston: Oh my god, being able to play for a living

739

00:24:33,719 --> 00:24:36,369

Marc Preston: is one hell of a great gig, yeah it's just,

740

00:24:36,750 --> 00:24:37,854

Marc Preston: it's a blessing.

741

00:24:37,934 --> 00:24:39,941

Rupert Evans: It's a blessing and I feel very fortunate,

742

00:24:39,981 --> 00:24:40,904

Rupert Evans: so yeah, that's kind of where it's.

743

00:24:40,924 --> 00:24:43,271

Rupert Evans: You know, I, I literally wasn't a great

744

00:24:43,291 --> 00:24:43,993

Rupert Evans: grand plan.

745

00:24:44,053 --> 00:24:46,259

Rupert Evans: I just I don't think I'm, you know, didn't

746

00:24:46,420 --> 00:24:47,804

Rupert Evans: want to do anything else and couldn't do

747

00:24:47,844 --> 00:24:48,245

Rupert Evans: anything else.

748

00:24:49,128 --> 00:24:50,996

Marc Preston: So was that encouraged by the family where

749

00:24:51,016 --> 00:24:52,462

Marc Preston: they like alright, well, he's, you know,

750

00:24:52,502 --> 00:24:53,767

Marc Preston: rupert's doing his thing, we're gonna get

751

00:24:53,787 --> 00:24:53,988

Marc Preston: behind.

752

00:24:54,109 --> 00:24:55,696

Marc Preston: Or they like, I'll get a reasonable job,

753

00:24:55,777 --> 00:24:56,219

Marc Preston: come on I.

754

00:24:58,426 --> 00:25:00,293

Rupert Evans: Think you know in my dad sort of sat me

755

00:25:00,313 --> 00:25:01,899

Rupert Evans: down once I said are you sure about this?

756

00:25:01,919 --> 00:25:04,246

Rupert Evans: Because you know, if you, you know, you

757

00:25:04,267 --> 00:25:06,532

Rupert Evans: know the old adage of 90% of actors are

758

00:25:06,572 --> 00:25:06,993

Rupert Evans: unemployed.

759

00:25:07,153 --> 00:25:08,797

Rupert Evans: Blah, blah, blah but you know ultimately,

760

00:25:08,957 --> 00:25:10,590

Rupert Evans: you know, they just sort of let you go.

761

00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:12,315

Rupert Evans: They have to let you do what you want to do.

762

00:25:12,425 --> 00:25:13,670

Rupert Evans: So they didn't really have a say and they

763

00:25:13,690 --> 00:25:15,767

Rupert Evans: didn't really comment much, but they were,

764

00:25:15,787 --> 00:25:16,970

Rupert Evans: they were always supportive, you know,

765

00:25:16,990 --> 00:25:17,711

Rupert Evans: they've always been great.

766

00:25:18,052 --> 00:25:20,778

Marc Preston: Yeah, so the what was your father's trade?

767

00:25:21,166 --> 00:25:21,708

Rupert Evans: My dad.

768

00:25:21,848 --> 00:25:22,892

Rupert Evans: You know my dad well.

769

00:25:22,912 --> 00:25:26,262

Rupert Evans: My dad was in real estate and he was an

770

00:25:26,342 --> 00:25:27,165

Rupert Evans: auctioneer as well.

771

00:25:27,446 --> 00:25:30,246

Rupert Evans: So there's a bit of sort of theatrical, you

772

00:25:30,266 --> 00:25:32,372

Rupert Evans: know, element to that and, having seen him

773

00:25:32,774 --> 00:25:34,827

Rupert Evans: do a lot of auctioneering, it's there's

774

00:25:34,908 --> 00:25:36,973

Rupert Evans: definitely an act that you put on when he

775

00:25:37,134 --> 00:25:40,009

Rupert Evans: steps on stage to To sort of auctioneer.

776

00:25:40,630 --> 00:25:43,575

Rupert Evans: So I think, yeah, I think I think it, you

777

00:25:43,595 --> 00:25:45,319

Rupert Evans: know, I think there was a bit of that in

778

00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:45,719

Rupert Evans: him too.

779

00:25:46,827 --> 00:25:48,538

Rupert Evans: So, yeah, I think I think I may have got it

780

00:25:48,558 --> 00:25:50,447

Rupert Evans: from him as much as my mom, my mom was.

781

00:25:51,029 --> 00:25:52,894

Rupert Evans: My mom is was certainly quieter, but she,

782

00:25:53,014 --> 00:25:56,364

Rupert Evans: she, she had a sort of ability to sing and

783

00:25:56,384 --> 00:25:56,565

Rupert Evans: stuff.

784

00:25:56,746 --> 00:25:59,054

Rupert Evans: So, you know, I don't know I had no idea

785

00:25:59,094 --> 00:26:00,579

Rupert Evans: really where it sort of came from, really

786

00:26:00,619 --> 00:26:02,245

Rupert Evans: why, why it sparked my interest.

787

00:26:02,607 --> 00:26:04,801

Marc Preston: Well, did you have any siblings or you were

788

00:26:04,821 --> 00:26:05,365

Marc Preston: you an only child?

789

00:26:06,247 --> 00:26:08,591

Rupert Evans: No, no, I have siblings, yeah, ones in

790

00:26:08,651 --> 00:26:10,535

Rupert Evans: radio actually does, you know, does what

791

00:26:10,575 --> 00:26:15,292

Rupert Evans: you do and is a DJ and broadcaster on on

792

00:26:15,332 --> 00:26:15,974

Rupert Evans: radio in the UK.

793

00:26:17,686 --> 00:26:19,270

Rupert Evans: And also my sister, you know, did a bit of

794

00:26:19,330 --> 00:26:21,857

Rupert Evans: acting for a while and does occasionally.

795

00:26:21,917 --> 00:26:24,128

Rupert Evans: So, yeah, it's something in us.

796

00:26:24,168 --> 00:26:24,710

Rupert Evans: I don't know what.

797

00:26:25,251 --> 00:26:26,855

Rupert Evans: I don't know what it is really, it's just

798

00:26:26,955 --> 00:26:29,991

Rupert Evans: fun, you know it's just great, great fun.

799

00:26:30,232 --> 00:26:32,239

Marc Preston: Is there something else that you were also

800

00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:32,842

Marc Preston: considering?

801

00:26:32,982 --> 00:26:34,548

Marc Preston: While you're in school, you're like, okay,

802

00:26:34,568 --> 00:26:36,614

Marc Preston: there's acting or there's this thing on the

803

00:26:36,635 --> 00:26:37,056

Marc Preston: side.

804

00:26:39,387 --> 00:26:40,431

Rupert Evans: No, I don't think so.

805

00:26:40,491 --> 00:26:45,631

Rupert Evans: I mean, you know well, guys, when I started

806

00:26:45,731 --> 00:26:48,164

Rupert Evans: out, actually I was like you know it was

807

00:26:48,204 --> 00:26:49,068

Rupert Evans: hard, you know I didn't get.

808

00:26:49,128 --> 00:26:51,516

Rupert Evans: You know I, there were long periods of

809

00:26:51,597 --> 00:26:54,147

Rupert Evans: unemployment early on and you know I was

810

00:26:54,167 --> 00:26:56,439

Rupert Evans: sort of waiting around and I one stage I

811

00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,069

Rupert Evans: was like so desperate I thought, well, what

812

00:26:58,089 --> 00:26:59,780

Rupert Evans: am I gonna do if this doesn't, you know, if

813

00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,991

Rupert Evans: the phone doesn't ring, what the hell am I

814

00:27:02,051 --> 00:27:02,292

Rupert Evans: gonna do?

815

00:27:02,393 --> 00:27:03,578

Rupert Evans: So I thought, well, you know.

816

00:27:03,618 --> 00:27:04,803

Rupert Evans: So I thought, well, maybe I'll go into

817

00:27:04,863 --> 00:27:06,609

Rupert Evans: gardening, you know, like landscape

818

00:27:06,669 --> 00:27:07,171

Rupert Evans: gardening.

819

00:27:07,191 --> 00:27:08,716

Rupert Evans: So I did think about that for a while.

820

00:27:10,825 --> 00:27:13,050

Rupert Evans: Weirdly, I grew up on a farm.

821

00:27:13,170 --> 00:27:15,515

Rupert Evans: So I think, yeah, I think, you know, the

822

00:27:15,575 --> 00:27:17,259

Rupert Evans: outdoors is always a kind of appeal to me.

823

00:27:17,726 --> 00:27:19,411

Rupert Evans: So I thought, maybe a quieter, simpler life,

824

00:27:19,471 --> 00:27:21,135

Rupert Evans: I'll go into the plants and vegetables and,

825

00:27:21,717 --> 00:27:23,569

Rupert Evans: you know, be a gardener.

826

00:27:24,031 --> 00:27:24,995

Rupert Evans: So that was one option.

827

00:27:26,308 --> 00:27:28,784

Rupert Evans: And then I have an absolute love for

828

00:27:30,113 --> 00:27:30,858

Rupert Evans: Landrovers.

829

00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:31,724

Rupert Evans: I know it sounds mad.

830

00:27:32,627 --> 00:27:35,012

Rupert Evans: I have a love Marc for Landrovers that I

831

00:27:35,052 --> 00:27:37,117

Rupert Evans: can't explain series 2a Landrovers,

832

00:27:37,157 --> 00:27:37,698

Rupert Evans: particularly.

833

00:27:38,507 --> 00:27:40,155

Rupert Evans: Or series 3 Landrovers, the older

834

00:27:40,175 --> 00:27:41,864

Rupert Evans: Landrovers, and so if I had to give it all

835

00:27:41,924 --> 00:27:43,589

Rupert Evans: up now, I would probably just end up

836

00:27:44,030 --> 00:27:47,729

Rupert Evans: restoring old Landrovers by a garage, do

837

00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:48,773

Rupert Evans: them up and sell them on.

838

00:27:48,954 --> 00:27:50,600

Marc Preston: I know they use the Land Rover and the old

839

00:27:50,620 --> 00:27:53,990

Marc Preston: and it was in 1979 Toyota or the big ones

840

00:27:54,030 --> 00:27:54,992

Marc Preston: they use out in the desert.

841

00:27:55,253 --> 00:27:56,336

Marc Preston: They're like iconic.

842

00:27:57,107 --> 00:27:58,973

Marc Preston: I'll say desert, but you know off-road type

843

00:27:59,013 --> 00:27:59,354

Marc Preston: things.

844

00:27:59,554 --> 00:28:00,979

Rupert Evans: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

845

00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:02,543

Rupert Evans: I love I look, I love old classic

846

00:28:02,583 --> 00:28:03,085

Rupert Evans: Landrovers.

847

00:28:03,185 --> 00:28:04,472

Marc Preston: So it's kind of an America.

848

00:28:04,512 --> 00:28:06,201

Speaker:
1025

00:33:52,926 --> 00:33:55,212

00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,784

Marc Preston: thinking you know.

Speaker:
1043

00:34:31,824 --> 00:34:33,116

Marc Preston: That's one of those things If I could

Speaker:
1044

00:34:33,277 --> 00:34:36,528

Marc Preston: isolate is I speak to younger actors, voice

Speaker:
1045

00:34:36,588 --> 00:34:36,970

Marc Preston: They're like what do you advise?

Speaker:
1049

00:34:43,395 --> 00:34:44,899

Marc Preston: It's like man hang out with people gray

Speaker:
1050

00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:46,103

Marc Preston: hair or less hair.

Speaker:
1051

00:34:46,504 --> 00:34:47,426

Marc Preston: They have better stories.

Speaker:
1052

00:34:47,555 --> 00:34:49,345

Marc Preston: It makes it more enjoyable, but there's a

Speaker:
1053

00:34:49,425 --> 00:34:49,707

Marc Preston: reason.

Speaker:
1054

00:34:49,727 --> 00:34:51,336

Marc Preston: If they're still around doing it, they know

Speaker:
1055

00:34:51,356 --> 00:34:52,801

Marc Preston: how to ride the wave that peaks in the

Speaker:
1056

00:34:52,841 --> 00:34:55,042

Marc Preston: valleys and and I always said that the

Speaker:
1057

00:34:55,102 --> 00:34:57,413

Marc Preston: older guys had much you're the only other

Speaker:
1058

00:34:57,433 --> 00:34:59,340

Marc Preston: person that's ever said that they have

Speaker:
1059

00:34:59,401 --> 00:35:00,063

Marc Preston: better stories.

Speaker:
1060

00:35:00,296 --> 00:35:02,036

Marc Preston: I always say that and then you start

Speaker:
1061

00:35:02,076 --> 00:35:04,062

Marc Preston: realizing the amount of shit they used to

Speaker:
1062

00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:06,981

Marc Preston: get away with, you know all the, all the

Speaker:
1063

00:35:07,001 --> 00:35:07,845

Marc Preston: mischief that used to happen.

Speaker:
1064

00:35:08,388 --> 00:35:08,710

Marc Preston: Oh my God.

Speaker:
1065

00:35:08,951 --> 00:35:10,860

Marc Preston: Oh my God, you know it is.

Speaker:
1066

00:35:11,221 --> 00:35:13,420

Marc Preston: I love here I could just sit back and I

Speaker:
1067

00:35:13,460 --> 00:35:16,087

Marc Preston: remember going to Denny's or it's one of

Speaker:
1068

00:35:16,108 --> 00:35:18,099

Marc Preston: those well, it's kind of like a diner and

Speaker:
1069

00:35:18,179 --> 00:35:19,542

Marc Preston: sitting back with these guys who worked in

Speaker:
1070

00:35:19,602 --> 00:35:20,024

Marc Preston: New York.

Speaker:
1071

00:35:20,545 --> 00:35:22,882

Speaker:
1073

00:35:25,555 --> 00:35:27,201

Marc Preston: These guys that worked in Toronto, new York,

Speaker:
1074

00:35:27,241 --> 00:35:28,364

Marc Preston: whatever, and the stories they would tell,

Speaker:
1075

00:35:28,495 --> 00:35:30,562

Marc Preston: like, oh my God, there's no way I could get

Speaker:
1076

00:35:30,602 --> 00:35:31,425

Marc Preston: away with doing that now.

Speaker:
1077

00:35:31,595 --> 00:35:33,365

Marc Preston: But you just soak it up and you start

Speaker:
1078

00:35:33,385 --> 00:35:34,229

Marc Preston: realizing you know what.

Speaker:
1079

00:35:34,631 --> 00:35:35,938

Marc Preston: I'm allowed to have a little fun doing

Speaker:
1080

00:35:35,978 --> 00:35:36,681

Marc Preston: whatever I'm doing.

Speaker:
1081

00:35:36,815 --> 00:35:38,239

Marc Preston: You know, I gotta make my own stories.

Speaker:
1082

1083

00:35:39,842 --> 00:35:40,404

1084

00:35:40,424 --> 00:35:42,088

Rupert Evans: I mean, it's not enough.

Speaker:
1085

00:35:42,175 --> 00:35:44,332

Rupert Evans: I was watching this show called Yellowstone

Speaker:
1086

00:35:44,493 --> 00:35:44,735

Rupert Evans: recently.

Speaker:
1087

00:35:44,875 --> 00:35:47,584

Rupert Evans: I don't know if you've seen it on, I think

Speaker:
1088

00:35:47,604 --> 00:35:49,418

Rupert Evans: it's on Amazon and I was watching Kevin

Speaker:
1089

00:35:49,438 --> 00:35:52,085

Rupert Evans: Costner and I was like Jesus, this guy is

Speaker:
1090

00:35:52,105 --> 00:35:53,207

Rupert Evans: just, he is amazing.

Speaker:
1091

00:35:53,495 --> 00:35:55,468

Rupert Evans: You know, he kind of you know, he's been

Speaker:
1092

00:35:55,690 --> 00:35:56,475

Rupert Evans: throughout my childhood.

Speaker:
1093

00:35:56,816 --> 00:35:58,099

Rupert Evans: I mean, I don't know, you know, I was at

Speaker:
1094

00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,306

Rupert Evans: school when he did Robin Hood, you know,

Speaker:
1095

00:36:00,486 --> 00:36:01,257

Rupert Evans: and that was a you know.

Speaker:
1096

00:36:01,337 --> 00:36:03,303

Rupert Evans: And he just gets better and better.

Speaker:
1097

00:36:03,915 --> 00:36:05,866

Rupert Evans: And I kind of suddenly thought to myself.

Speaker:
1098

00:36:05,907 --> 00:36:07,335

Rupert Evans: I said you know what I would love to work

Speaker:
1099

00:36:07,395 --> 00:36:08,860

Rupert Evans: with him because I think he's just great.

Speaker:
1100

00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:09,583

Rupert Evans: And I was watching him.

Speaker:
1101

00:36:10,096 --> 00:36:11,681

Rupert Evans: He did it wait, he gave a speech during the

Speaker:
1102

00:36:11,761 --> 00:36:13,457

Rupert Evans: Oscars this year and I just thought the guy

Speaker:
1103

00:36:14,019 --> 00:36:16,085

Rupert Evans: he was, he had such a sort of calm presence

Speaker:
1104

00:36:16,775 --> 00:36:18,323

Rupert Evans: and I just thought that there's a guy who's

Speaker:
1105

00:36:18,404 --> 00:36:20,132

Rupert Evans: been through it and you know, such

Speaker:
1106

Speaker:
1169

00:38:09,845 --> 00:38:11,253

Speaker:
1170

00:38:11,294 --> 00:38:14,206

Marc Preston: seven questions and I just me little

Speaker:
1171

00:38:14,226 --> 00:38:15,792

Marc Preston: goofiness, like something I like.

Speaker:
1172

00:38:15,852 --> 00:38:17,338

Marc Preston: I give a little extra insight and a little

Speaker:
1173

00:38:17,398 --> 00:38:17,599

Marc Preston: fun.

Speaker:
1174

00:38:19,235 --> 00:38:21,020

Marc Preston: One of the first question I always like to

Speaker:
1175

00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,586

Marc Preston: ask is what is your favorite comfort food?

Speaker:
1176

00:38:24,275 --> 00:38:24,977

Marc Preston: That thing you miss?

Speaker:
1177

00:38:25,077 --> 00:38:26,742

Marc Preston: Or the thing that just, ah, just, you're

Speaker:
1178

00:38:26,762 --> 00:38:28,618

Marc Preston: going to sit down, you're not going to care

Speaker:
1179

00:38:28,638 --> 00:38:30,049

Marc Preston: about calories, you're not going to care

Speaker:
1180

00:38:30,069 --> 00:38:32,460

Marc Preston: about, it's just that thing that you, it

Speaker:
1181

00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:33,985

Marc Preston: brings you back to your center.

Speaker:
1182

00:38:34,436 --> 00:38:36,394

Marc Preston: What would that be?

Speaker:
1183

00:38:36,595 --> 00:38:38,642

Rupert Evans: I think that would probably be a Sunday

Speaker:
1184

00:38:38,742 --> 00:38:41,599

Rupert Evans: roast, and in North America it's kind of

Speaker:
1185

00:38:41,739 --> 00:38:44,286

Rupert Evans: difficult to find a pub that does a Sunday

Speaker:
1186

00:38:44,366 --> 00:38:46,299

Rupert Evans: roast, and what I mean by that is it could

Speaker:
1187

00:38:46,319 --> 00:38:48,725

Rupert Evans: be roast chicken, it could be roast beef,

Speaker:
1188

00:38:48,825 --> 00:38:51,719

Rupert Evans: roast lamb, roast pork, but it's you know,

Speaker:
1189

00:38:51,759 --> 00:38:52,962

Rupert Evans: it's a kind of gravy.

Speaker:
1190

00:38:53,503 --> 00:38:56,116

Rupert Evans: You know kind of gravy, and then you've got

Speaker:
1191

00:38:56,136 --> 00:38:58,223

Rupert Evans: the potatoes and then you've got the veg

Speaker:
1192

00:38:58,535 --> 00:39:00,259

Rupert Evans: and you know, it's such a, you know,

Speaker:
1193

00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,327

Rupert Evans: british thing, sunday roast and I really

Speaker:
1194

00:39:03,367 --> 00:39:03,748

Rupert Evans: miss that.

Speaker:
1195

00:39:03,955 --> 00:39:04,317

Marc Preston: So would that?

Speaker:
1196

00:39:04,337 --> 00:39:06,366

Marc Preston: Would that be kind of in line like a like?

Speaker:
1197

00:39:06,426 --> 00:39:06,808

Marc Preston: I don't know.

Speaker:
1198

00:39:06,828 --> 00:39:08,278

Marc Preston: I'm Jewish and I know there's always like a

Speaker:
1199

00:39:08,338 --> 00:39:09,401

Marc Preston: brisket being made.

Speaker:
1200

00:39:09,501 --> 00:39:10,043

Marc Preston: You know something?

Speaker:
1201

00:39:10,083 --> 00:39:12,219

Marc Preston: It's all day the grandmother's basting it,

Speaker:
1202

00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:12,480

Marc Preston: you know.

Speaker:
1203

00:39:13,577 --> 00:39:14,601

Rupert Evans: Yeah, yeah, there's something like that,

Speaker:
1204

00:39:14,775 --> 00:39:17,204

Rupert Evans: but it's, you know, going down to the pub

Speaker:
1205

00:39:17,706 --> 00:39:19,794

Rupert Evans: having a Sunday meal with the family, and

Speaker:
1206

00:39:19,814 --> 00:39:20,677

Rupert Evans: Sunday roast and a beer.

Speaker:
1207

00:39:20,698 --> 00:39:23,206

Rupert Evans: You know, I, I, that's, that's.

Speaker:
1208

00:39:23,427 --> 00:39:25,835

Rupert Evans: That's probably what brings me back to my

Speaker:
1209

00:39:25,996 --> 00:39:27,039

Rupert Evans: center, if anything.

Speaker:
1210

00:39:27,621 --> 00:39:28,524

Marc Preston: That's quite civilized.

Speaker:
1211

00:39:29,503 --> 00:39:30,535

Marc Preston: I like that.

Speaker:
1212

00:39:30,555 --> 00:39:32,820

Marc Preston: One of the things I was curious about is if

Speaker:
1213

00:39:32,860 --> 00:39:36,635

Marc Preston: you were to say you know three people, if

Speaker:
1214

Marc Preston: know I can go high tea, whatever have you.

Speaker:
1216

00:39:41,818 --> 00:39:44,563

Speaker:
1217

00:39:44,583 --> 00:39:47,169

Marc Preston: be living or, hey, anybody in history.

Speaker:
1218

00:39:47,235 --> 00:39:48,258

Marc Preston: If you would like that you would like to

Marc Preston: for a few hours, who would?

Speaker:
1221

00:39:51,657 --> 00:39:52,801

Marc Preston: Who would those three people be?

Speaker:
1222

00:39:54,359 --> 00:39:54,981

Marc Preston: Oh my God.

Speaker:
1223

00:40:55,491 --> 00:40:57,266

Rupert Evans: I mean, she has two birthdays, which I have

Speaker:
1249

00:40:57,306 --> 00:40:57,730

Rupert Evans: no understanding.

Speaker:
1250

00:40:58,332 --> 00:40:59,676

Rupert Evans: I have no bloody clue why she has two

Speaker:
1251

00:40:59,696 --> 00:41:00,860

Rupert Evans: birthdays every year, but she does.

Speaker:
1252

00:41:02,242 --> 00:41:04,775

Rupert Evans: She doesn't age, she doesn't double every

Speaker:
1253

00:41:04,815 --> 00:41:07,181

Rupert Evans: year, but she has a kind of official and

Speaker:
1254

00:41:07,281 --> 00:41:09,979

Rupert Evans: unofficial birthday and I have no idea why.

Speaker:
1255

00:41:10,059 --> 00:41:11,530

Rupert Evans: But I think it's a proper birthday today.

Speaker:
1256

00:41:11,691 --> 00:41:14,965

Rupert Evans: So she's 96 years old and she's still doing.

Speaker:
1257

00:41:15,548 --> 00:41:16,493

Rupert Evans: She's still doing 96.

00:41:17,801 --> 00:41:18,646

Marc Preston: Do they consider that?

Speaker:
1260

00:41:18,687 --> 00:41:20,244

Marc Preston: I guess in the US we call it a federal

Speaker:
1261

00:41:20,305 --> 00:41:20,670

Marc Preston: holiday?

Speaker:
1262

Speaker:
1263

00:41:22,956 --> 00:41:24,681

Rupert Evans: No, no, I don't think so.

Speaker:
1264

Rupert Evans: Maybe I do know what we're having a holiday.

Speaker:
1265

00:41:27,990 --> 00:41:31,119

Speaker:
1266

00:41:31,339 --> 00:41:33,991

Rupert Evans: what they call it, the jubilee, which is

Speaker:
1267

00:41:34,352 --> 00:41:36,358

Rupert Evans: which will be about how many years she's

Speaker:
1268

00:41:36,398 --> 00:41:37,913

Rupert Evans: been on the throne, and that's in the

Speaker:

00:43:18,179 --> 00:43:19,482

Rupert Evans: he was just an incredible actor.

Speaker:
1319

00:43:20,010 --> 00:43:21,656

Rupert Evans: So for me, I was obsessed with Paul

Speaker:
1320

00:43:21,696 --> 00:43:23,140

Rupert Evans: Scofield for a long time.

Speaker:
1321

00:43:24,970 --> 00:43:28,740

Rupert Evans: So, yeah, I suppose you know, yeah, I was,

Speaker:
1322

00:43:29,001 --> 00:43:29,442

Rupert Evans: I don't know.

Speaker:
1323

00:43:31,910 --> 00:43:34,039

Rupert Evans: Yeah, I suppose.

Speaker:
1324

00:43:35,445 --> 00:43:36,510

Rupert Evans: I don't know really.

Speaker:
1325

00:43:36,771 --> 00:43:37,857

Rupert Evans: Oh, I think Cindy, I think Cindy.

Speaker:
1326

00:43:37,877 --> 00:43:39,667

Marc Preston: Crawford lands with a lot of guys of our

Speaker:
1327

00:43:39,708 --> 00:43:40,110

Marc Preston: generation.

Speaker:
1328

00:43:41,296 --> 00:43:42,603

Rupert Evans: Yeah, that was of our generation.

Speaker:
1329

00:43:42,663 --> 00:43:44,010

Rupert Evans: It summed up the sort of white t-shirt,

Speaker:
1330

00:43:44,592 --> 00:43:47,224

Rupert Evans: sort of denim jeans, sort of bleach jeans,

Speaker:
1331

00:43:47,304 --> 00:43:48,590

Rupert Evans: you know, it was sort of that kind of era,

Speaker:
1332

00:43:48,690 --> 00:43:49,031

Rupert Evans: wasn't it?

Speaker:
1333

00:43:49,091 --> 00:43:51,437

Rupert Evans: You know where that kind of I don't know,

Speaker:
1334

00:43:51,477 --> 00:43:53,710

Rupert Evans: it was all a wholesome American sort of you

Speaker:
1335

00:43:53,751 --> 00:43:55,354

Rupert Evans: know vibe going on.

Speaker:
1336

00:43:56,197 --> 00:43:57,961

Rupert Evans: I look now and it was a bit sort of I was.

Speaker:
1337

00:43:58,161 --> 00:44:01,214

Rupert Evans: It was a bit kind of misdirected really,

Speaker:
1338

00:44:01,234 --> 00:44:02,638

Rupert Evans: but you know, hey, we were, you know,

Speaker:
1339

00:44:02,678 --> 00:44:04,343

Rupert Evans: products of the 80s and 90s.

Speaker:
1340

00:44:05,094 --> 00:44:06,843

Marc Preston: Indeed, indeed Happily.

Speaker:
1341

00:44:06,944 --> 00:44:08,010

Marc Preston: So it was a good era.

Speaker:
1342

00:44:09,554 --> 00:44:11,881

Rupert Evans: Yeah, yeah the wonder years Indeed.

Speaker:
1343

00:44:13,531 --> 00:44:15,301

Marc Preston: Next question I got for you is if you're

Speaker:
1344

00:44:15,321 --> 00:44:17,010

Marc Preston: going to be I don't know like a year,

Speaker:
1345

00:44:17,130 --> 00:44:18,474

Marc Preston: you're going to be on an island, exotic

Speaker:
1346

00:44:18,594 --> 00:44:21,321

Marc Preston: island, dough internet, none of the digital

Speaker:
1347

00:44:21,361 --> 00:44:21,562

Marc Preston: stuff.

Speaker:
1348

00:44:21,891 --> 00:44:23,214

Marc Preston: It'll be comfortable, you know, but you got

Speaker:
1349

00:44:23,234 --> 00:44:25,480

Marc Preston: to be there for a year and you can only

Speaker:
1350

00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,177

Marc Preston: bring one album and one movie on DVD

Speaker:
1351

00:44:28,197 --> 00:44:29,140

Marc Preston: because there's no streaming.

Speaker:
1352

00:44:29,442 --> 00:44:31,550

Marc Preston: Okay, what would that album and what would

Speaker:
1353

00:44:31,570 --> 00:44:32,471

Marc Preston: that DVD be?

Speaker:
1354

00:44:34,213 --> 00:44:36,996

Rupert Evans: Oh my God, that's really hard.

Speaker:
1355

00:44:39,319 --> 00:44:42,843

Rupert Evans: God, I think I would probably.

Speaker:
1356

00:44:43,804 --> 00:44:46,312

Rupert Evans: For me it would be a live album, because I

Speaker:
1357

00:44:46,533 --> 00:44:47,857

Rupert Evans: listened to a lot of live albums.

Speaker:
1358

00:44:48,579 --> 00:44:51,729

Rupert Evans: It would probably, god it would do.

Speaker:
1359

00:44:51,749 --> 00:44:53,655

Rupert Evans: You know what I always take with me James

Speaker:
1360

00:44:53,695 --> 00:44:54,016

Rupert Evans: Taylor.

Speaker:
1361

00:44:54,578 --> 00:44:56,383

Rupert Evans: So James Taylor Live.

Speaker:
1362

00:44:56,463 --> 00:44:58,770

Rupert Evans: It's a double album, so I'm being a bit

Speaker:
1363

00:44:58,870 --> 00:45:01,799

Rupert Evans: naughty because it's got two CDs in the

Speaker:
1364

00:45:01,879 --> 00:45:04,568

Rupert Evans: actual book let's go qualifying Okay.

Speaker:
1365

00:45:04,628 --> 00:45:06,593

Rupert Evans: So it is a box set, as it were, but it's a

Speaker:
1366

00:45:06,613 --> 00:45:09,560

Rupert Evans: double album of James Taylor Live, I think,

Speaker:
1367

00:45:09,721 --> 00:45:11,913

Rupert Evans: and it's sort of his, you know, I think

Speaker:
1368

00:45:12,514 --> 00:45:15,042

Rupert Evans: it's all his life, all his songs, but from

Speaker:
1369

00:45:15,203 --> 00:45:17,731

Rupert Evans: various concerts, and the album is just

Speaker:
1370

00:45:17,751 --> 00:45:19,077

Rupert Evans: called James Taylor Live and it's a

Speaker:
1371

00:45:19,137 --> 00:45:20,906

Rupert Evans: fantastic album and it's something that

Speaker:
1372

00:45:21,307 --> 00:45:22,814

Rupert Evans: wherever I go in the world I have it on my

Speaker:
1373

00:45:22,854 --> 00:45:23,256

Rupert Evans: phone.

Speaker:
1374

00:45:23,838 --> 00:45:25,806

Rupert Evans: If ever I'm sort of feeling a bit lost, I

Speaker:
1375

00:45:25,967 --> 00:45:27,171

Rupert Evans: always just put it on, you know, and it

Speaker:
1376

00:45:27,232 --> 00:45:28,014

Rupert Evans: always sorts me out.

Speaker:
1377

00:45:28,195 --> 00:45:29,680

Marc Preston: It's kind of like your musical comfort food,

Speaker:
1378

00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:30,021

Marc Preston: I guess.

Speaker:
1379

00:45:31,892 --> 00:45:32,432

Rupert Evans: Yeah, exactly.

Speaker:
1380

00:45:33,094 --> 00:45:36,099

Rupert Evans: And as for God, the movie, that's really

Speaker:
1381

00:45:36,179 --> 00:45:37,541

Rupert Evans: hard.

Speaker:
1382

00:45:38,362 --> 00:45:43,991

Rupert Evans: I mean one movie, Jesus, you know what.

Speaker:
1383

00:45:44,031 --> 00:45:46,417

Rupert Evans: It would probably be something sort of

Speaker:
1384

00:45:46,638 --> 00:45:50,051

Rupert Evans: comedy based, because I just, you know, you

Speaker:
1385

00:45:50,071 --> 00:45:51,999

Rupert Evans: want to probably keep myself amused.

Speaker:
1386

00:45:52,642 --> 00:45:54,148

Rupert Evans: You know, I hate to say it would probably

Speaker:
1387

00:45:54,188 --> 00:45:55,995

Rupert Evans: be Groundhog Day, because Bill Murray, for

Speaker:
1388

00:45:56,015 --> 00:45:58,286

Rupert Evans: me, is just amazing and I, you know he's

Speaker:
1389

00:45:58,446 --> 00:45:58,687

Rupert Evans: actually.

Speaker:
1390

00:45:58,728 --> 00:46:01,036

Rupert Evans: He's someone I'd like to meet and talk to,

Speaker:
1391

00:46:01,799 --> 00:46:03,646

Rupert Evans: Bill Murray, because I'm sure he's got some

Speaker:
1392

00:46:03,686 --> 00:46:04,268

Rupert Evans: great stories.

Speaker:
1393

00:46:04,348 --> 00:46:06,093

Rupert Evans: So probably something like Groundhog Day

Speaker:
1394

00:46:06,595 --> 00:46:09,562

Rupert Evans: again, not showing a kid of the 90s.

Speaker:
1395

00:46:09,622 --> 00:46:13,212

Rupert Evans: So yeah, probably something kind of crass

Speaker:
1396

00:46:13,392 --> 00:46:16,239

Rupert Evans: and slightly stupid, but hey, you know it's

Speaker:
1397

00:46:16,279 --> 00:46:16,640

Rupert Evans: a great movie.

Speaker:
1398

00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:18,793

Marc Preston: Well, no, we grew up in an era where we had

Speaker:
1399

00:46:18,833 --> 00:46:19,736

Marc Preston: those movies.

Speaker:
1400

00:46:19,877 --> 00:46:21,684

Marc Preston: Like the closest thing we got to it now,

Speaker:
1401

00:46:22,226 --> 00:46:24,079

Marc Preston: which is, I adore anything I probably

Speaker:
1402

00:46:24,147 --> 00:46:25,718

Marc Preston: mentioned this at least once in episodes

Speaker:
1403

00:46:25,786 --> 00:46:27,746

Marc Preston: Judd Apatow, the kind of movies he does,

Speaker:
1404

00:46:27,814 --> 00:46:30,678

Marc Preston: some of those seemingly ridiculous, kind of

Speaker:
1405

00:46:31,019 --> 00:46:34,128

Marc Preston: like just fun, kind of movies like that,

Speaker:
1406

00:46:34,148 --> 00:46:35,591

Marc Preston: like you look back and Bill Murray's

Speaker:
1407

00:46:35,672 --> 00:46:39,740

Marc Preston: Stripes or you know, you know a caddy shack

Speaker:
1408

00:46:39,780 --> 00:46:40,401

Marc Preston: and things like that.

Speaker:
1409

00:46:40,421 --> 00:46:42,433

Marc Preston: I mean Bill Murray, anything he shows up in,

Speaker:
1410

00:46:42,453 --> 00:46:43,778

Marc Preston: I'm going to buy it, no matter what.

Speaker:
1411

00:46:43,798 --> 00:46:44,660

Marc Preston: I mean I'm going to go see it.

Speaker:
1412

00:46:45,630 --> 00:46:48,722

Marc Preston: But now now the next question I got for you

Speaker:
1413

00:46:49,104 --> 00:46:50,610

Marc Preston: definition of a perfect day for you, from

Speaker:
1414

00:46:50,630 --> 00:46:52,815

Marc Preston: the time you get up to the time you get to

Speaker:
1415

00:46:52,836 --> 00:46:55,001

Marc Preston: bed, the component parts of what a perfect

Speaker:
1416

00:46:55,061 --> 00:46:55,643

Marc Preston: day would be.

Speaker:
1417

00:46:56,190 --> 00:47:06,181

Rupert Evans: God, no telephone, my wife and a book and

Speaker:
1418

00:47:08,944 --> 00:47:14,350

Rupert Evans: probably the sea, near the sea and good

Speaker:
1419

00:47:14,390 --> 00:47:18,397

Rupert Evans: weather and a really good restaurant not

Speaker:
1420

00:47:18,457 --> 00:47:22,324

Rupert Evans: far away in walking distance from where

Speaker:
1421

00:47:22,344 --> 00:47:23,005

Rupert Evans: we're staying.

Speaker:
1422

00:47:25,070 --> 00:47:29,618

Rupert Evans: Probably no people, no one else, yeah, and

Speaker:
1423

00:47:29,678 --> 00:47:33,205

Rupert Evans: long walks and that's kind of it.

Speaker:
1424

00:47:34,031 --> 00:47:35,798

Marc Preston: It seems like a lot of nice introspection

Speaker:
1425

00:47:35,878 --> 00:47:36,199

Marc Preston: time.

Speaker:
1426

00:47:36,481 --> 00:47:38,188

Marc Preston: It seems like quiet by the sea.

Speaker:
1427

00:47:38,248 --> 00:47:40,394

Rupert Evans: I'm kind of feeling that, Well you know I

Speaker:
1428

00:47:40,694 --> 00:47:42,458

Rupert Evans: have two kids under the age of five, so

Speaker:
1429

00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,322

Rupert Evans: right now I don't get much of that.

Speaker:
1430

00:47:45,333 --> 00:47:45,795

Marc Preston: Well, you just wait.

Speaker:
1431

00:47:45,815 --> 00:47:47,001

Marc Preston: You're going to miss those days.

Speaker:
1432

00:47:47,061 --> 00:47:47,403

Marc Preston: Believe it.

Speaker:
1433

00:47:47,423 --> 00:47:49,612

Marc Preston: And I've got a 19 to 17 and a 16 year old

Speaker:
1434

00:47:49,652 --> 00:47:51,958

Marc Preston: and I remember like oh my God, I'm yeah,

Speaker:
1435

00:47:52,078 --> 00:47:53,421

Marc Preston: I'm funny enough there's a place in

Speaker:
1436

00:47:53,461 --> 00:47:54,190

Marc Preston: Vancouver Island.

Speaker:
1437

00:47:54,335 --> 00:47:56,890

Rupert Evans: If any of your listeners ever go to

Speaker:
1438

00:47:57,035 --> 00:47:59,200

Rupert Evans: Vancouver Island and they want somewhere

Speaker:
1439

00:47:59,345 --> 00:48:00,671

Rupert Evans: interesting to stay, there's a place called

Speaker:
1440

00:48:01,696 --> 00:48:02,801

Rupert Evans: it's kind of a crazy name.

Speaker:
1441

00:48:02,962 --> 00:48:04,510

Rupert Evans: It's called place no place.

Speaker:
1442

00:48:05,674 --> 00:48:06,898

Rupert Evans: Literally place no place.

Speaker:
1443

00:48:07,601 --> 00:48:09,468

Rupert Evans: And it's on Vancouver Island and you go and

Speaker:
1444

00:48:09,488 --> 00:48:14,158

Rupert Evans: you can sort of rent a very kind of simple

Speaker:
1445

00:48:14,378 --> 00:48:18,025

Rupert Evans: cabin overlooking the sea and yeah, no,

Speaker:
1446

00:48:18,045 --> 00:48:20,410

Rupert Evans: sorry, it's not called place no place.

Speaker:
1447

00:48:22,255 --> 00:48:23,038

Rupert Evans: I'm so sorry.

Speaker:
1448

00:48:23,058 --> 00:48:23,659

Rupert Evans: Let me start again.

Speaker:
1449

00:48:24,201 --> 00:48:26,247

Rupert Evans: This place is called point no point, point,

Speaker:
1450

00:48:26,287 --> 00:48:30,215

Rupert Evans: no point, point, no point, and that's the

Speaker:
1451

00:48:30,255 --> 00:48:34,702

Rupert Evans: place where you know I found going, having

Speaker:
1452

00:48:34,742 --> 00:48:36,765

Rupert Evans: my sort of time off and quiet time with my

Speaker:
1453

00:48:36,830 --> 00:48:37,071

Rupert Evans: wife.

Speaker:
1454

00:48:37,311 --> 00:48:37,532

Rupert Evans: That's.

Speaker:
1455

00:48:37,672 --> 00:48:38,755

Rupert Evans: It's a very special place.

Speaker:
1456

00:48:38,795 --> 00:48:40,820

Rupert Evans: So if you ever get a chance, go and visit.

Speaker:
1457

00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:41,462

Rupert Evans: Point no point.

Speaker:
1458

00:48:41,950 --> 00:48:43,555

Marc Preston: We're in that summer vacation planning

Speaker:
1459

00:48:43,615 --> 00:48:45,620

Marc Preston: phase, three teams trying to get them all

Speaker:
1460

00:48:45,660 --> 00:48:47,253

Marc Preston: to collaborate on like, what did they

Speaker:
1461

00:48:47,274 --> 00:48:48,378

Marc Preston: decide that they want to do?

Speaker:
1462

00:48:48,459 --> 00:48:51,090

Marc Preston: And so, my gosh right, I'm tempted to say

Speaker:
1463

00:48:51,210 --> 00:48:52,094

Marc Preston: we're just going to go to Canada.

Speaker:
1464

00:48:52,274 --> 00:48:54,282

Marc Preston: You know, listen, go to point, no point,

Speaker:
1465

00:48:54,322 --> 00:48:57,554

Speaker:
1466

00:48:57,614 --> 00:48:57,936

Marc Preston: family.

Speaker:
1467

00:48:58,619 --> 00:49:00,225

Marc Preston: I found that I've had a lot of experiences,

Speaker:
1468

00:49:00,707 --> 00:49:01,310

Marc Preston: as you have in life.

Speaker:
1469

00:49:01,410 --> 00:49:02,595

Marc Preston: I think it's fun with the kids to have

Marc Preston: You get to have that time together for the

00:49:08,639 --> 00:49:09,101

Marc Preston: first time.

Speaker:
1474

00:49:09,222 --> 00:49:10,589

Marc Preston: Everybody's having that first experience.

Speaker:
1475

00:49:10,609 --> 00:49:11,269

Rupert Evans: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker:
1476

00:49:11,328 --> 00:49:12,723

Marc Preston: We kind of touched on it before.

Speaker:
1477

00:49:12,782 --> 00:49:14,192

Marc Preston: But if you weren't doing this for a living

Speaker:
1478

00:49:14,273 --> 00:49:16,297

Marc Preston: and they said, okay, no more TV, no more

Speaker:
1479

00:49:16,377 --> 00:49:18,422

Marc Preston: theatrical, no more stages, no more movies,

Speaker:
1480

00:49:18,462 --> 00:49:21,204

Marc Preston: no more acting, it's just not possible what

Speaker:
1481

00:49:21,244 --> 00:49:22,290

Marc Preston: would you be doing for a living?

Speaker:
1482

00:49:23,412 --> 00:49:26,118

Rupert Evans: Restoring old Landrovers series two

Speaker:
1483

00:49:26,158 --> 00:49:27,902

Rupert Evans: Landrovers, just restoring the old

Speaker:
1484

00:49:27,942 --> 00:49:31,295

Rupert Evans: Landrovers and bringing them back to life.

Speaker:
1485

00:49:31,737 --> 00:49:32,901

Rupert Evans: Yeah, that's probably about it.

Speaker:
1486

00:49:33,022 --> 00:49:33,464

Marc Preston: Very good.

Speaker:
1487

00:49:33,484 --> 00:49:34,869

Marc Preston: It's working with your hands.

Speaker:
1488

00:49:35,271 --> 00:49:35,672

Marc Preston: I like that.

Speaker:
1489

00:49:35,693 --> 00:49:36,094

Marc Preston: I like it.

Speaker:
1490

00:49:36,637 --> 00:49:37,601

Marc Preston: Now the last question.

Speaker:
1491

00:49:37,621 --> 00:49:39,188

Marc Preston: Speak of another vehicle, delorean.

Speaker:
1492

00:49:39,228 --> 00:49:40,900

Marc Preston: You can time travel and you're going to zip

Speaker:
1493

00:49:40,962 --> 00:49:42,839

Marc Preston: back to when you're 16 years old and you're

Speaker:
1494

00:49:42,900 --> 00:49:45,456

Marc Preston: going to offer up a piece of advice for 16

Speaker:
1495

00:49:45,476 --> 00:49:45,978

Marc Preston: year old you.

Speaker:
1496

00:49:46,540 --> 00:49:48,608

Marc Preston: That's going to kind of kind of smooth out

Speaker:
1497

00:49:48,628 --> 00:49:50,213

Marc Preston: the path a little bit for the coming years.

Speaker:
1498

00:49:50,273 --> 00:49:52,660

Marc Preston: What would that piece of advice be to 16

Speaker:
1499

00:49:52,700 --> 00:49:53,261

Marc Preston: year old Rupert?

Speaker:
1500

00:49:54,810 --> 00:49:57,476

Rupert Evans: Not worry so much and take more risks.

Speaker:
1501

00:49:58,098 --> 00:50:03,993

Rupert Evans: I think in life I just, you know, worrying

Speaker:
1502

00:50:04,013 --> 00:50:05,577

Rupert Evans: is one of the most pointless activities

Speaker:
1503

00:50:05,617 --> 00:50:07,621

Rupert Evans: that I end up doing a lot of.

Speaker:
1504

00:50:08,283 --> 00:50:11,015

Rupert Evans: And actually I think your real worries

Speaker:
1505

00:50:11,115 --> 00:50:15,067

Rupert Evans: happen on a quiet Wednesday afternoon when

Speaker:
1506

00:50:15,107 --> 00:50:17,297

Rupert Evans: you least expect it and the phone rings and

Speaker:
1507

00:50:17,383 --> 00:50:19,239

Rupert Evans: then suddenly there's an emergency and

Speaker:
1508

00:50:19,325 --> 00:50:21,144

Rupert Evans: there's a real worry and the rest of it

Speaker:
1509

00:50:21,184 --> 00:50:22,426

Rupert Evans: really doesn't need worrying about.

Speaker:
1510

00:50:22,687 --> 00:50:24,389

Rupert Evans: So I suppose I would tell him not to worry

Speaker:
1511

00:50:24,429 --> 00:50:26,654

Rupert Evans: so damn much because it's a complete waste

Speaker:
1512

00:50:26,694 --> 00:50:28,819

Rupert Evans: of damn time and also, if he learns and

Speaker:
1513

00:50:28,859 --> 00:50:31,632

Rupert Evans: works out how to not worry, to give me a

Speaker:
1514

00:50:31,712 --> 00:50:34,520

Rupert Evans: call and let me know how he did it because,

Speaker:
1515

00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:35,663

Rupert Evans: I ain't got a clue.

Speaker:
1516

00:50:37,111 --> 00:50:37,893

Announcer: Yeah that's.

Speaker:
1517

00:50:37,913 --> 00:50:39,658

Marc Preston: That theme has come up a number of times.

Speaker:
1518

00:50:39,678 --> 00:50:40,401

Marc Preston: There's something I think of.

Speaker:
1519

00:50:40,751 --> 00:50:42,258

Marc Preston: What, if I was to go back and do the same

Speaker:
1520

00:50:42,318 --> 00:50:44,869

Marc Preston: thing is, is the stresses that you come.

Speaker:
1521

00:50:44,889 --> 00:50:46,978

Marc Preston: You know I'll correlate it like this I

Speaker:
1522

00:50:46,998 --> 00:50:49,166

Marc Preston: remember waiting tables once and I remember

Speaker:
1523

00:50:49,448 --> 00:50:50,613

Marc Preston: if anybody's working in the service

Speaker:
1524

00:50:50,673 --> 00:50:53,365

Marc Preston: industry, yeah, is that initial feeling

Speaker:
1525

00:50:53,385 --> 00:50:54,771

Marc Preston: when you get that you're working at double,

Speaker:
1526

00:50:54,811 --> 00:50:55,635

Marc Preston: you're getting slammed.

Speaker:
1527

00:50:55,675 --> 00:50:58,246

Marc Preston: It's like that stress and I remember it's

Speaker:
1528

00:50:58,286 --> 00:51:00,397

Marc Preston: just it's like second or third day and I

Speaker:
1529

00:51:00,417 --> 00:51:01,947

Marc Preston: was on my own doing it and I talked to the

Speaker:
1530

00:51:01,967 --> 00:51:02,168

Marc Preston: manager.

Speaker:
1531

00:51:02,188 --> 00:51:03,533

Marc Preston: I was like, oh man, so stressful it's like.

Speaker:
1532

00:51:03,914 --> 00:51:05,358

Marc Preston: So sit down, let me tell you something.

Speaker:
1533

00:51:05,459 --> 00:51:08,347

Marc Preston: Stress is being apparent.

Speaker:
1534

00:51:08,809 --> 00:51:10,736

Marc Preston: And having three young kids and not having

Speaker:
1535

00:51:10,776 --> 00:51:13,528

Marc Preston: enough food to feed them and not having not

Speaker:
1536

00:51:13,608 --> 00:51:15,035

Marc Preston: worrying about where to live, you started

Speaker:
1537

00:51:15,075 --> 00:51:16,803

Marc Preston: going down all these really big adult kind

Speaker:
1538

00:51:16,823 --> 00:51:17,707

Marc Preston: of things like this.

Speaker:
1539

00:51:18,028 --> 00:51:20,478

Marc Preston: This isn't stress, it's like you're going

Speaker:
1540

00:51:20,498 --> 00:51:21,362

Marc Preston: to get it, don't worry.

Speaker:
1541

00:51:21,422 --> 00:51:23,570

Marc Preston: And it kind of put this reframe some things

Speaker:
1542

00:51:23,690 --> 00:51:23,871

Marc Preston: going.

Speaker:
1543

00:51:23,931 --> 00:51:26,120

Marc Preston: Okay, this is, this is a task, this is a

Speaker:
1544

00:51:26,180 --> 00:51:27,927

Marc Preston: skill, this is something I will learn.

Speaker:
1545

00:51:27,947 --> 00:51:30,840

Marc Preston: It's bumpy road to get there, but it kind

Speaker:
1546

00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:31,805

Marc Preston: of put things in the frame.

Speaker:
1547

00:51:31,925 --> 00:51:32,528

Marc Preston: It's kind of an entry.

Speaker:
1548

00:51:32,548 --> 00:51:33,291

Marc Preston: It's kind of funny.

Speaker:
1549

00:51:33,311 --> 00:51:34,955

Marc Preston: You know, those little nuggets of wisdom

Speaker:
1550

00:51:34,995 --> 00:51:37,341

Marc Preston: don't always come from some you know

Speaker:
1551

00:51:37,401 --> 00:51:39,718

Marc Preston: Buddhist monk or something, something like

Speaker:
1552

00:51:39,758 --> 00:51:39,959

Marc Preston: that.

Speaker:
1553

00:51:40,240 --> 00:51:42,207

Marc Preston: Sometimes somebody just run across as that

Speaker:
1554

00:51:42,469 --> 00:51:43,732

Marc Preston: little piece of info you need to hear in

Speaker:
1555

00:51:43,752 --> 00:51:45,737

Marc Preston: that moment, but not stressing.

Speaker:
1556

00:51:45,837 --> 00:51:48,531

Marc Preston: But then again, a lot of times it's easier

Speaker:
1557

00:51:48,592 --> 00:51:49,273
