Marc Preston: They're talking about filming in Vancouver

90

02:47 ,849 --> 00:02:50,920

02:50 ,980 --> 00:02:52,183

Marc Preston: that shoots there all stays.

92

02:52 ,263 --> 00:02:54,368

02:54 ,789 --> 00:02:56,213

Marc Preston: everybody lands at the same hotel.

94

02:56 ,380 --> 00:02:57,262

Marc Preston: I think it starts with R.

95

02:57 ,463 --> 00:02:58,866

96

02:59 ,367 --> 00:03:00,009

Rupert Evans: The Sutton Place Hotel.

97

03:00 ,029 --> 00:03:01,332

99

03:05 ,087 --> 00:03:06,530

Rupert Evans: literally been living there for the last

100

03:06 ,570 --> 00:03:06,771

101

03:06 ,991 --> 00:03:07,973

102

03:08 ,080 --> 00:03:09,405

Marc Preston: Well, how does it feel to be home now?

103

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

Marc Preston: That's the more important question.

104

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

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

105

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

Marc Preston: still kind of?

106

03:14 ,066 --> 00:03:14,146

Marc Preston: Yeah?

107

03:14 ,166 --> 00:03:15,029

Rupert Evans: it's been a long time.

108

03:15 ,249 --> 00:03:19,692

Rupert Evans: No, I've been away for five years, really,

109

03:20 ,274 --> 00:03:21,779

Rupert Evans: yeah, I'm literally yeah.

110

03:21 ,840 --> 00:03:23,445

Rupert Evans: Yeah, I've just moved into my house after

111

03:23 ,566 --> 00:03:24,369

Rupert Evans: five years.

112

03:25 ,183 --> 00:03:26,146

Rupert Evans: It's kind of nuts really.

113

03:26 ,186 --> 00:03:26,769

Rupert Evans: Marc's going.

114

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

Rupert Evans: So yeah, we're just unpacking.

115

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

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

116

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

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

117

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

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

118

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

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

119

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

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

120

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

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

121

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

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

122

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

Marc Preston: but that's not funny.

123

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

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

124

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

Marc Preston: somewhere there's always some stuff that

125

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

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

126

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

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

127

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

Marc Preston: am I going to?

128

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

Marc Preston: Then you start having this epiphany of like

129

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

Marc Preston: I got too much stuff.

130

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

Marc Preston: Oh my God.

131

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

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

132

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

Rupert Evans: what's happening to me.

133

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

Rupert Evans: I'm sorting through my life.

134

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

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

135

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

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

136

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

Marc Preston: living for the last five?

137

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

Marc Preston: Were you just traveling around shooting, or

138

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

Marc Preston: were you living somewhere else?

139

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

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

140

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

Marc Preston: You were living in Vancouver.

141

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

Marc Preston: Is that where they shoot, charmed?

142

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

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

143

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

Rupert Evans: Castle.

144

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

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

145

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

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

146

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

Rupert Evans: So, yeah, every time.

147

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

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

148

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

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

149

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

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

150

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

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

151

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

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

152

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

Rupert Evans: and round in circles.

153

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

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

154

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

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

155

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

Marc Preston: up.

156

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

Marc Preston: Seems like there are a lot of locations

157

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

Marc Preston: that are consistent New Orleans used to be

158

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

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

159

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

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

160

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

Marc Preston: much is happening.

161

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

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

162

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

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

163

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

Marc Preston: They always kind of enjoy the ones that

164

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

Marc Preston: come down here and shoot a series or

165

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

Marc Preston: something like that, because then kind of

166

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

Marc Preston: play around a little bit.

167

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

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

168

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

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

169

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

Marc Preston: good to be somewhere you actually want to

170

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

Marc Preston: be, I suppose.

171

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

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

172

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

Rupert Evans: really happening now.

173

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

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

174

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

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

175

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

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

176

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

Rupert Evans: So I think things are happening.

177

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

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

178

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

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

179

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

Rupert Evans: whoever gives the biggest tax break.

180

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

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

181

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

Marc Preston: up a little bit Charmed.

182

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

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

183

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

Marc Preston: probably a little outside the age range of

184

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

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

185

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

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

186

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

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

187

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

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

188

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

Marc Preston: I'm trying to remember.

189

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

Marc Preston: The original Charmed came out.

190

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

Marc Preston: Was it like late 90s?

191

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

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

192

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

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

193

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

Rupert Evans: I think you're right.

194

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

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

195

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

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

196

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

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

197

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

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

198

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

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

199

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

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

200

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

Rupert Evans: us.

201

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

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

202

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

Rupert Evans: first, the first time round.

203

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

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

204

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

Marc Preston: incarnation of Charmed.

205

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

Marc Preston: Is that correct?

206

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

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

207

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

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

208

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

Marc Preston: be, especially with streaming, going beyond

209

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

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

210

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

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

211

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

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

212

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

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

213

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

Rupert Evans: really affect us either too too much.

214

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

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

215

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

Rupert Evans: again.

216

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

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

217

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

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

218

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

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

219

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

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

220

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

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

221

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

Rupert Evans: now.

222

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

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

223

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

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

224

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

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

225

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

Rupert Evans: the creative process.

226

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

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

227

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

Rupert Evans: You only.

228

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

Rupert Evans: I can only do one.

229

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

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

230

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

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

231

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

Rupert Evans: sort of literally take an episode off

232

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

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

233

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

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

234

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

Rupert Evans: the editing as well.

235

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

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

236

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

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

237

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

Rupert Evans: more than that.

238

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

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

239

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

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

240

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

Rupert Evans: do the one, to be honest.

241

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

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

242

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

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

243

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

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

244

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

Marc Preston: I've always been curious.

245

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

Marc Preston: I know, for a regular theatrical release

246

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

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

247

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

Marc Preston: budget a year of your life.

248

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

Marc Preston: You know pre-production, production,

249

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

Marc Preston: post-production.

250

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

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

251

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

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

252

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

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

253

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

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

254

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

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

255

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

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

256

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

Rupert Evans: You have a visiting director will have

257

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

Rupert Evans: eight days, eight, nine days.

258

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

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

259

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

Rupert Evans: half day episodes.

260

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

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

261

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

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

262

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

Rupert Evans: will have your eight days to shoot.

263

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

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

264

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

Rupert Evans: and it's incredible.

265

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

Rupert Evans: You know the whole kind of setup.

266

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

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

267

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

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

268

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

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

269

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

Rupert Evans: soon as possible.

270

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

Rupert Evans: You have casting calls that day and

271

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

Rupert Evans: instantly the machine, you know, starts

272

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

Rupert Evans: props set, design.

273

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

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

274

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

Rupert Evans: things and decisions have to be made really

275

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

Rupert Evans: within the first two or three days about

276

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

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

277

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

Rupert Evans: they going to break it.

278

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

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

279

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

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

280

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

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

281

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

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

282

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

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

283

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

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

284

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

Marc Preston: jumping in a wave.

285

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

Marc Preston: It's already rolling.

286

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

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

287

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

Rupert Evans: creativity and decisions have to be made as

288

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

Rupert Evans: a director.

289

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

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

290

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

Rupert Evans: have real say on.

291

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

Rupert Evans: You know when you get your episode although

292

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

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

293

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

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

294

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

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

295

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

Rupert Evans: the story is gonna be for that particular

296

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

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

297

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

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

298

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

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

299

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

Rupert Evans: Carv out an interesting episode that you

300

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

Rupert Evans: love.

301

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

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

302

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

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

303

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

Rupert Evans: incredible learning curve and it's

304

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

Rupert Evans: something that I really enjoy is where you

305

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

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

306

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

Rupert Evans: direct very quickly, you have to make

307

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

Rupert Evans: decisions very quickly, instinctively, and

308

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

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

309

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

Rupert Evans: see if your pants.

310

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

Rupert Evans: I always think that directing tv is like

311

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

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

312

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

Rupert Evans: expensive Ferrari With gold sort of alloy

313

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

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

314

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

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

315

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

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

316

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

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

317

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

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

318

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

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

319

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

Rupert Evans: nothing wrong, in perfect condition, and

320

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

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

321

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

Rupert Evans: gonna be.

322

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

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

323

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

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

324

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

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

325

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

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

326

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

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

327

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

Marc Preston: as a character.

328

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

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

329

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

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

330

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

Marc Preston: opposed to trying to kind of alter.

331

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

Marc Preston: You know characters and stuff.

332

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

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

333

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

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

334

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

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

335

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

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

336

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

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

337

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

Marc Preston: kind of is in the flow.

338

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

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

339

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

Marc Preston: have a cast member directing because they

340

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

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

341

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

Marc Preston: Is that it?

342

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

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

343

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

Marc Preston: know you so well?

344

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

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

345

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

Rupert Evans: actually they very accommodating and I

346

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

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

347

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

Rupert Evans: show and then suddenly directing is that

348

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

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

349

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

Rupert Evans: know, you understand them and they trust

350

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

Rupert Evans: you.

351

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

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

352

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

Rupert Evans: directors and actors.

353

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

Rupert Evans: There's a trust issue when visiting

354

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

Rupert Evans: directors come in.

355

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

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

356

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

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

357

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

Rupert Evans: everyone's kind of judging you.

358

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

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

359

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

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

360

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

372

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

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

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

374

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

Rupert Evans: shortcuts do you know what I mean?

375

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

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

376

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

377

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

Rupert Evans: of Volta Cabinus kind of place underground,

383

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

Rupert Evans: and you know you get to understand the

384

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

Rupert Evans: camera angles and stuff and how it works

385

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

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

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

538

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

Rupert Evans: idea that actually you are a subclass in

539

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

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

540

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

Rupert Evans: japanese Rule.

541

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

Rupert Evans: But you know the all powerful nazis are

542

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

Rupert Evans: certainly putting pressure On the japanese

543

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

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

544

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

Rupert Evans: out those.

545

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

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

546

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

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

547

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

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

548

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

Rupert Evans: for the show.

549

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

Rupert Evans: So it was a fantastic job.

550

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

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

551

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

Rupert Evans: well as not only just an alternative

552

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

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

553

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

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

554

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

Rupert Evans: you know you know americans speaking nazi.

555

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

Rupert Evans: It's kind of extraordinary having breakfast

556

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

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

557

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

Rupert Evans: happened.

558

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

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

559

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

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

560

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

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

561

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

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

562

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

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

563

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

Rupert Evans: were.

564

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

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

565

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

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

566

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

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

567

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

Marc Preston: of watch.

568

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

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

569

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

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

570

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

Marc Preston: not?

571

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

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

572

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

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

573

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

Rupert Evans: possibility absolutely.

574

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

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

575

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

Rupert Evans: tapped into something.

576

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

Rupert Evans: I think it was.

577

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

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

578

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

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

579

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

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

580

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

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

581

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

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

582

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

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

583

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

Rupert Evans: at as well, about time travel.

584

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

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

585

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

Rupert Evans: of alternative history time travel, and

586

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

Rupert Evans: it's worth the look.

587

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

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

588

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

Rupert Evans: castle, it's worth it.

589

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

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

590

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

Marc Preston: wonderful concept.

591

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

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

592

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

Marc Preston: episodes of watch.

593

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

Marc Preston: I'm gonna go back.

594

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

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

595

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

Marc Preston: doubt.

596

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

Marc Preston: The doorman.

597

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

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

598

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

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

599

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

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

600

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

Marc Preston: where he's the adversary?

601

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

602

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

668

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

Marc Preston: Was was acting and doing something

685

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

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

686

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

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

687

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

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

688

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

Marc Preston: kind of dig this thing.

689

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

Marc Preston: What was the genesis of your theatrical

690

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

Marc Preston: pursuits?

691

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

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

692

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

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

693

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

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

694

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

Rupert Evans: got it.

695

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

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

696

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

Rupert Evans: I got.

697

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

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

698

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

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

699

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

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

700

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

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

701

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

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

702

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

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

703

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

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

704

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

Rupert Evans: it.

705

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

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

706

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

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

707

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

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

708

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

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

709

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

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

710

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

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

711

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

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

712

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

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

713

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

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

714

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

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

715

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

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

716

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

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

717

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

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

718

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

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

719

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

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

720

24:03 ,047 --> 00:24:04,111

Rupert Evans: You know I'll do something else.

721

24:04 ,191 --> 00:24:05,896

Rupert Evans: And then I finished University and thought,

722

24:05 ,957 --> 00:24:06,518

Rupert Evans: what am I gonna do?

723

24:06 ,786 --> 00:24:08,233

Rupert Evans: Is there's any one thing I want to do?

724

24:08 ,815 --> 00:24:10,644

Rupert Evans: So I then thought, well, I'll try, and you

725

24:10 ,665 --> 00:24:12,734

Rupert Evans: know, I'll apply to drama school and then

726

24:12 ,754 --> 00:24:14,261

Rupert Evans: if I don't get in, then I'll just go do

727

24:14 ,301 --> 00:24:14,783

Rupert Evans: something else.

728

24:14 ,864 --> 00:24:16,531

Rupert Evans: And then I I like fortunately did get in

729

24:16 ,711 --> 00:24:18,338

Rupert Evans: and for that on in, that was it really.

730

24:18 ,358 --> 00:24:19,964

Rupert Evans: You know, and it's the greatest job in the

731

24:20 ,005 --> 00:24:20,105

Rupert Evans: world.

732

24:20 ,245 --> 00:24:22,231

Rupert Evans: You know, you get to kind of see the world,

733

24:22 ,251 --> 00:24:25,167

Rupert Evans: meet crazy people, creative people, and you

734

24:25 ,207 --> 00:24:26,713

Rupert Evans: know, if you get paid to kind of, you know,

735

24:26 ,753 --> 00:24:28,681

Rupert Evans: run around and pretend, you know, being

736

24:28 ,701 --> 00:24:29,785

Rupert Evans: chased by a ghost or something.

737

24:29 ,825 --> 00:24:31,150

Rupert Evans: I mean, I don't know, it's great.

738

24:31 ,531 --> 00:24:33,639

Marc Preston: Oh my god, being able to play for a living

739

24:33 ,719 --> 00:24:36,369

Marc Preston: is one hell of a great gig, yeah it's just,

740

24:36 ,750 --> 00:24:37,854

Marc Preston: it's a blessing.

741

24:37 ,934 --> 00:24:39,941

Rupert Evans: It's a blessing and I feel very fortunate,

742

24:39 ,981 --> 00:24:40,904

Rupert Evans: so yeah, that's kind of where it's.

743

24:40 ,924 --> 00:24:43,271

Rupert Evans: You know, I, I literally wasn't a great

744

24:43 ,291 --> 00:24:43,993

Rupert Evans: grand plan.

745

24:44 ,053 --> 00:24:46,259

Rupert Evans: I just I don't think I'm, you know, didn't

746

24:46 ,420 --> 00:24:47,804

Rupert Evans: want to do anything else and couldn't do

747

24:47 ,844 --> 00:24:48,245

Rupert Evans: anything else.

748

24:49 ,128 --> 00:24:50,996

Marc Preston: So was that encouraged by the family where

749

24:51 ,016 --> 00:24:52,462

Marc Preston: they like alright, well, he's, you know,

750

24:52 ,502 --> 00:24:53,767

Marc Preston: rupert's doing his thing, we're gonna get

751

24:53 ,787 --> 00:24:53,988

Marc Preston: behind.

752

24:54 ,109 --> 00:24:55,696

Marc Preston: Or they like, I'll get a reasonable job,

753

24:55 ,777 --> 00:24:56,219

Marc Preston: come on I.

754

24:58 ,426 --> 00:25:00,293

Rupert Evans: Think you know in my dad sort of sat me

755

25:00 ,313 --> 00:25:01,899

Rupert Evans: down once I said are you sure about this?

756

25:01 ,919 --> 00:25:04,246

Rupert Evans: Because you know, if you, you know, you

757

25:04 ,267 --> 00:25:06,532

Rupert Evans: know the old adage of 90% of actors are

758

25:06 ,572 --> 00:25:06,993

Rupert Evans: unemployed.

759

25:07 ,153 --> 00:25:08,797

Rupert Evans: Blah, blah, blah but you know ultimately,

760

25:08 ,957 --> 00:25:10,590

Rupert Evans: you know, they just sort of let you go.

761

25:10 ,630 --> 00:25:12,315

Rupert Evans: They have to let you do what you want to do.

762

25:12 ,425 --> 00:25:13,670

Rupert Evans: So they didn't really have a say and they

763

25:13 ,690 --> 00:25:15,767

Rupert Evans: didn't really comment much, but they were,

764

25:15 ,787 --> 00:25:16,970

Rupert Evans: they were always supportive, you know,

765

25:16 ,990 --> 00:25:17,711

Rupert Evans: they've always been great.

766

25:18 Fathers Trade and Inherited Interests

25:18 ,052 --> 00:25:20,778

Marc Preston: Yeah, so the what was your father's trade?

767

25:21 ,166 --> 00:25:21,708

Rupert Evans: My dad.

768

25:21 ,848 --> 00:25:22,892

Rupert Evans: You know my dad well.

769

25:22 ,912 --> 00:25:26,262

Rupert Evans: My dad was in real estate and he was an

770

25:26 ,342 --> 00:25:27,165

Rupert Evans: auctioneer as well.

771

25:27 ,446 --> 00:25:30,246

Rupert Evans: So there's a bit of sort of theatrical, you

772

25:30 ,266 --> 00:25:32,372

Rupert Evans: know, element to that and, having seen him

773

25:32 ,774 --> 00:25:34,827

Rupert Evans: do a lot of auctioneering, it's there's

774

25:34 ,908 --> 00:25:36,973

Rupert Evans: definitely an act that you put on when he

775

25:37 ,134 --> 00:25:40,009

Rupert Evans: steps on stage to To sort of auctioneer.

776

25:40 ,630 --> 00:25:43,575

Rupert Evans: So I think, yeah, I think I think it, you

777

25:43 ,595 --> 00:25:45,319

Rupert Evans: know, I think there was a bit of that in

778

25:45 ,359 --> 00:25:45,719

Rupert Evans: him too.

779

25:46 ,827 --> 00:25:48,538

Rupert Evans: So, yeah, I think I think I may have got it

780

25:48 ,558 --> 00:25:50,447

Rupert Evans: from him as much as my mom, my mom was.

781

25:51 ,029 --> 00:25:52,894

Rupert Evans: My mom is was certainly quieter, but she,

782

25:53 ,014 --> 00:25:56,364

Rupert Evans: she, she had a sort of ability to sing and

783

25:56 ,384 --> 00:25:56,565

Rupert Evans: stuff.

784

25:56 ,746 --> 00:25:59,054

Rupert Evans: So, you know, I don't know I had no idea

785

25:59 ,094 --> 00:26:00,579

Rupert Evans: really where it sort of came from, really

786

26:00 ,619 --> 00:26:02,245

Rupert Evans: why, why it sparked my interest.

787

26:02 ,607 --> 00:26:04,801

Marc Preston: Well, did you have any siblings or you were

788

26:04 ,821 --> 00:26:05,365

Marc Preston: you an only child?

789

26:06 ,247 --> 00:26:08,591

Rupert Evans: No, no, I have siblings, yeah, ones in

790

26:08 ,651 --> 00:26:10,535

Rupert Evans: radio actually does, you know, does what

791

26:10 ,575 --> 00:26:15,292

Rupert Evans: you do and is a DJ and broadcaster on on

792

26:15 ,332 --> 00:26:15,974

Rupert Evans: radio in the UK.

793

26:17 ,686 --> 00:26:19,270

Rupert Evans: And also my sister, you know, did a bit of

794

26:19 ,330 --> 00:26:21,857

Rupert Evans: acting for a while and does occasionally.

795

26:21 ,917 --> 00:26:24,128

Rupert Evans: So, yeah, it's something in us.

796

26:24 ,168 --> 00:26:24,710

Rupert Evans: I don't know what.

797

26:25 ,251 --> 00:26:26,855

Rupert Evans: I don't know what it is really, it's just

798

26:26 ,955 --> 00:26:29,991

Rupert Evans: fun, you know it's just great, great fun.

799

26:30 ,232 --> 00:26:32,239

Marc Preston: Is there something else that you were also

800

26:32 ,280 --> 00:26:32,842

Marc Preston: considering?

801

26:32 ,982 --> 00:26:34,548

Marc Preston: While you're in school, you're like, okay,

802

26:34 ,568 --> 00:26:36,614

Marc Preston: there's acting or there's this thing on the

803

26:36 ,635 --> 00:26:37,056

Marc Preston: side.

804

26:39 ,387 --> 00:26:40,431

Rupert Evans: No, I don't think so.

805

26:40 ,491 --> 00:26:45,631

Rupert Evans: I mean, you know well, guys, when I started

806

26:45 ,731 --> 00:26:48,164

Rupert Evans: out, actually I was like you know it was

807

26:48 ,204 --> 00:26:49,068

Rupert Evans: hard, you know I didn't get.

808

26:49 ,128 --> 00:26:51,516

Rupert Evans: You know I, there were long periods of

809

26:51 ,597 --> 00:26:54,147

Rupert Evans: unemployment early on and you know I was

810

26:54 ,167 --> 00:26:56,439

Rupert Evans: sort of waiting around and I one stage I

811

26:56 ,480 --> 00:26:58,069

Rupert Evans: was like so desperate I thought, well, what

812

26:58 ,089 --> 00:26:59,780

Rupert Evans: am I gonna do if this doesn't, you know, if

813

26:59 ,800 --> 00:27:01,991

Rupert Evans: the phone doesn't ring, what the hell am I

814

27:02 ,051 --> 00:27:02,292

Rupert Evans: gonna do?

815

27:02 ,393 --> 00:27:03,578

Rupert Evans: So I thought, well, you know.

816

27:03 ,618 --> 00:27:04,803

Rupert Evans: So I thought, well, maybe I'll go into

817

27:04 ,863 --> 00:27:06,609

Rupert Evans: gardening, you know, like landscape

818

27:06 ,669 --> 00:27:07,171

Rupert Evans: gardening.

819

27:07 ,191 --> 00:27:08,716

Rupert Evans: So I did think about that for a while.

820

27:10 ,825 --> 00:27:13,050

Rupert Evans: Weirdly, I grew up on a farm.

821

27:13 ,170 --> 00:27:15,515

Rupert Evans: So I think, yeah, I think, you know, the

822

27:15 ,575 --> 00:27:17,259

Rupert Evans: outdoors is always a kind of appeal to me.

823

27:17 ,726 --> 00:27:19,411

Rupert Evans: So I thought, maybe a quieter, simpler life,

824

27:19 ,471 --> 00:27:21,135

Rupert Evans: I'll go into the plants and vegetables and,

825

27:21 ,717 --> 00:27:23,569

Rupert Evans: you know, be a gardener.

826

27:24 ,031 --> 00:27:24,995

Rupert Evans: So that was one option.

827

27:26 ,308 --> 00:27:28,784

Rupert Evans: And then I have an absolute love for

828

27:30 ,113 --> 00:27:30,858

Rupert Evans: Landrovers.

829

27:31 ,020 --> 00:27:31,724

Rupert Evans: I know it sounds mad.

830

27:32 ,627 --> 00:27:35,012

Rupert Evans: I have a love Marc for Landrovers that I

831

27:35 ,052 --> 00:27:37,117

Rupert Evans: can't explain series 2a Landrovers,

832

27:37 ,157 --> 00:27:37,698

Rupert Evans: particularly.

833

27:38 ,507 --> 00:27:40,155

Rupert Evans: Or series 3 Landrovers, the older

834

27:40 ,175 --> 00:27:41,864

Rupert Evans: Landrovers, and so if I had to give it all

835

27:41 ,924 --> 00:27:43,589

Rupert Evans: up now, I would probably just end up

836

27:44 ,030 --> 00:27:47,729

Rupert Evans: restoring old Landrovers by a garage, do

837

27:47 ,750 --> 00:27:48,773

Rupert Evans: them up and sell them on.

838

27:48 ,954 --> 00:27:50,600

Marc Preston: I know they use the Land Rover and the old

839

27:50 ,620 --> 00:27:53,990

Marc Preston: and it was in 1979 Toyota or the big ones

840

27:54 ,030 --> 00:27:54,992

Marc Preston: they use out in the desert.

841

27:55 ,253 --> 00:27:56,336

Marc Preston: They're like iconic.

842

27:57 ,107 --> 00:27:58,973

Marc Preston: I'll say desert, but you know off-road type

843

27:59 ,013 --> 00:27:59,354

Marc Preston: things.

844

27:59 ,554 --> 00:28:00,979

Rupert Evans: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

845

28:01 ,039 --> 00:28:02,543

Rupert Evans: I love I look, I love old classic

846

28:02 ,583 --> 00:28:03,085

Rupert Evans: Landrovers.

847

28:03 ,185 --> 00:28:04,472

Marc Preston: So it's kind of an America.

848

28:04 ,512 --> 00:28:06,201

Marc Preston: I guess it would be like an old Bronco is

849

28:06 ,241 --> 00:28:08,328

Marc Preston: kind of the equivalent, I suppose yeah, or

850

28:08 ,348 --> 00:28:10,694

Marc Preston: a Jeep, or a Jeep, you know, like a you

851

28:10 ,715 --> 00:28:13,808

Marc Preston: know, yeah, yeah, like a Jeep.

852

28:13 ,988 --> 00:28:16,294

Rupert Evans: You know, I mean, yeah, I love them, yeah,

853

28:16 ,334 --> 00:28:17,978

Rupert Evans: so I I mean, in fact, in America they

854

28:19 ,467 --> 00:28:23,089

Rupert Evans: Restore them, as one company Just outside

855

28:23 ,129 --> 00:28:25,013

Rupert Evans: New York, actually in Connecticut he do,

856

28:25 ,033 --> 00:28:27,458

Rupert Evans: who restore a series, series to Landrovers

857

28:27 ,518 --> 00:28:29,688

Rupert Evans: it's crazy To a very high spec.

858

28:29 ,748 --> 00:28:31,412

Rupert Evans: So there we go, yeah, so I'm a, I'm sort of

859

28:31 ,472 --> 00:28:33,396

Rupert Evans: a slightly obsessive Land Rover person,

860

28:33 ,737 --> 00:28:36,107

Rupert Evans: which is a kind of weird, completely

861

28:36 ,168 --> 00:28:37,807

Rupert Evans: nonsense, sensible fag.

862

28:38 ,208 --> 00:28:39,030

Marc Preston: No, no, I don't know.

863

28:39 ,050 --> 00:28:40,273

Marc Preston: I think that's weird at all.

864

28:40 ,353 --> 00:28:43,628

Marc Preston: I think I think there are many Gear heads

865

28:43 ,668 --> 00:28:45,414

Marc Preston: in the US that would very much understand,

866

28:45 ,715 --> 00:28:46,899

Marc Preston: although they probably have different

867

28:46 ,920 --> 00:28:47,803

Marc Preston: vehicles are into.

868

28:47 ,823 --> 00:28:50,670

Rupert Evans: yeah, I mean, come on, north America is the

869

28:50 ,710 --> 00:28:51,432

Rupert Evans: home of the car.

870

28:51 ,512 --> 00:28:52,995

Rupert Evans: So you know, you're right, you're

871

28:53 ,055 --> 00:28:53,376

Rupert Evans: absolutely.

872

28:53 ,436 --> 00:28:57,369

Marc Preston: Oh, yeah, I grew up my father in car

877

29:07 ,650 --> 00:29:09,635

Marc Preston: off the used car lot because they had a new

878

29:09 ,675 --> 00:29:11,366

Marc Preston: car and then use car and just Whatever.

879

29:11 ,406 --> 00:29:13,170

Marc Preston: a different car.

881

29:14 ,333 --> 00:29:16,726

35:40 ,424 --> 00:35:42,088

Rupert Evans: I mean, it's not enough.

Speaker:1085

35:42 ,175 --> 00:35:44,332

Rupert Evans: I was watching this show called Yellowstone

Speaker:1086

35:44 ,493 --> 00:35:44,735

Rupert Evans: recently.

Speaker:1087

35:44 ,875 --> 00:35:47,584

Rupert Evans: I don't know if you've seen it on, I think

Speaker:1088

35:47 ,604 --> 00:35:49,418

Rupert Evans: it's on Amazon and I was watching Kevin

Speaker:1089

35:49 ,438 --> 00:35:52,085

Rupert Evans: Costner and I was like Jesus, this guy is

Speaker:1090

35:52 ,105 --> 00:35:53,207

Rupert Evans: just, he is amazing.

Speaker:1091

35:53 ,495 --> 00:35:55,468

Rupert Evans: You know, he kind of you know, he's been

Speaker:1092

35:55 ,690 --> 00:35:56,475

Rupert Evans: throughout my childhood.

Speaker:1093

35:56 ,816 --> 00:35:58,099

Rupert Evans: I mean, I don't know, you know, I was at

Speaker:1094

35:58 ,240 --> 00:36:00,306

Rupert Evans: school when he did Robin Hood, you know,

Speaker:1095

36:00 ,486 --> 00:36:01,257

Rupert Evans: and that was a you know.

Speaker:1096

36:01 ,337 --> 00:36:03,303

Rupert Evans: And he just gets better and better.

Speaker:1097

36:03 ,915 --> 00:36:05,866

Rupert Evans: And I kind of suddenly thought to myself.

Speaker:1098

36:05 ,907 --> 00:36:07,335

Rupert Evans: I said you know what I would love to work

Speaker:1099

36:07 ,395 --> 00:36:08,860

Rupert Evans: with him because I think he's just great.

Speaker:1100

36:08 ,880 --> 00:36:09,583

Rupert Evans: And I was watching him.

Speaker:1101

36:10 ,096 --> 00:36:11,681

Rupert Evans: He did it wait, he gave a speech during the

Speaker:1102

36:11 ,761 --> 00:36:13,457

Rupert Evans: Oscars this year and I just thought the guy

Speaker:1103

36:14 ,019 --> 00:36:16,085

Rupert Evans: he was, he had such a sort of calm presence

Speaker:1104

36:16 ,775 --> 00:36:18,323

Rupert Evans: and I just thought that there's a guy who's

Speaker:1105

36:18 ,404 --> 00:36:20,132

Rupert Evans: been through it and you know, such

Speaker:1106

36:20 ,192 --> 00:36:21,298

Marc Preston: I would love to work with him.

Speaker:1108

36:24 ,935 --> 00:36:26,481

36:26 ,501 --> 00:36:28,842

Marc Preston: Yellowstone, but what do you have coming up?

Speaker:1110

Marc Preston: Well, tell me you know, before we get going.

Speaker:1169

38:09 ,845 --> 00:38:11,253

Marc Preston: I always have this thing I like to ask

Speaker:1170

38:11 ,294 --> 00:38:14,206

Marc Preston: seven questions and I just me little

Speaker:1171

38:14 ,226 --> 00:38:15,792

Marc Preston: goofiness, like something I like.

Speaker:1172

38:15 ,852 --> 00:38:17,338

Marc Preston: I give a little extra insight and a little

Speaker:1173

38:17 ,398 --> 00:38:17,599

Marc Preston: fun.

Speaker:1174

38:19 ,235 --> 00:38:21,020

Marc Preston: One of the first question I always like to

Speaker:1175

38:21 ,080 --> 00:38:23,586

Marc Preston: ask is what is your favorite comfort food?

Speaker:1176

38:24 ,275 --> 00:38:24,977

Marc Preston: That thing you miss?

Speaker:1177

38:25 ,077 --> 00:38:26,742

Marc Preston: Or the thing that just, ah, just, you're

Speaker:1178

38:26 ,762 --> 00:38:28,618

Marc Preston: going to sit down, you're not going to care

Speaker:1179

38:28 ,638 --> 00:38:30,049

Marc Preston: about calories, you're not going to care

Speaker:1180

38:30 ,069 --> 00:38:32,460

Marc Preston: about, it's just that thing that you, it

Speaker:1181

38:32 ,520 --> 00:38:33,985

Marc Preston: brings you back to your center.

Speaker:1182

38:34 ,436 --> 00:38:36,394

Marc Preston: What would that be?

Speaker:1183

38:36 ,595 --> 00:38:38,642

Rupert Evans: I think that would probably be a Sunday

Speaker:1184

38:38 ,742 --> 00:38:41,599

Rupert Evans: roast, and in North America it's kind of

Speaker:1185

38:41 ,739 --> 00:38:44,286

Rupert Evans: difficult to find a pub that does a Sunday

Speaker:1186

38:44 ,366 --> 00:38:46,299

Rupert Evans: roast, and what I mean by that is it could

Speaker:1187

38:46 ,319 --> 00:38:48,725

Rupert Evans: be roast chicken, it could be roast beef,

Speaker:1188

38:48 ,825 --> 00:38:51,719

Rupert Evans: roast lamb, roast pork, but it's you know,

Speaker:1189

38:51 ,759 --> 00:38:52,962

Rupert Evans: it's a kind of gravy.

Speaker:1190

38:53 ,503 --> 00:38:56,116

Rupert Evans: You know kind of gravy, and then you've got

Speaker:1191

38:56 ,136 --> 00:38:58,223

Rupert Evans: the potatoes and then you've got the veg

Speaker:1192

38:58 ,535 --> 00:39:00,259

Rupert Evans: and you know, it's such a, you know,

Speaker:1193

39:00 ,440 --> 00:39:03,327

Rupert Evans: british thing, sunday roast and I really

Speaker:1194

39:03 ,367 --> 00:39:03,748

Rupert Evans: miss that.

Speaker:1195

39:03 ,955 --> 00:39:04,317

Marc Preston: So would that?

Speaker:1196

39:04 ,337 --> 00:39:06,366

Marc Preston: Would that be kind of in line like a like?

Speaker:1197

39:06 ,426 --> 00:39:06,808

Marc Preston: I don't know.

Speaker:1198

39:06 ,828 --> 00:39:08,278

Marc Preston: I'm Jewish and I know there's always like a

Speaker:1199

39:08 ,338 --> 00:39:09,401

Marc Preston: brisket being made.

Speaker:1200

39:09 ,501 --> 00:39:10,043

Marc Preston: You know something?

Speaker:1201

39:10 ,083 --> 00:39:12,219

Marc Preston: It's all day the grandmother's basting it,

Speaker:1202

39:12 ,239 --> 00:39:12,480

Marc Preston: you know.

Speaker:1203

39:13 ,577 --> 00:39:14,601

Rupert Evans: Yeah, yeah, there's something like that,

Speaker:1204

39:14 ,775 --> 00:39:17,204

Rupert Evans: but it's, you know, going down to the pub

Speaker:1205

39:17 ,706 --> 00:39:19,794

Rupert Evans: having a Sunday meal with the family, and

Speaker:1206

39:19 ,814 --> 00:39:20,677

Rupert Evans: Sunday roast and a beer.

Speaker:1207

39:20 ,698 --> 00:39:23,206

Rupert Evans: You know, I, I, that's, that's.

Speaker:1208

39:23 ,427 --> 00:39:25,835

Rupert Evans: That's probably what brings me back to my

Speaker:1209

39:25 ,996 --> 00:39:27,039

Rupert Evans: center, if anything.

Speaker:1210

39:27 ,621 --> 00:39:28,524

Marc Preston: That's quite civilized.

Speaker:1211

39:29 ,503 --> 00:39:30,535

Marc Preston: I like that.

Speaker:1212

39:30 ,555 --> 00:39:32,820

Marc Preston: One of the things I was curious about is if

Speaker:1213

39:31 Choose Three Figures for Conversation

39:32 ,860 --> 00:39:36,635

Marc Preston: you were to say you know three people, if

Speaker:1214

39:36 ,655 --> 00:39:38,922

Marc Preston: you can sit down, cup of coffee or tea, you

Speaker:1215

39:38 ,962 --> 00:39:41,397

Marc Preston: know I can go high tea, whatever have you.

Speaker:1216

39:41 ,818 --> 00:39:44,563

Marc Preston: If you could choose three people, it could

Speaker:1217

39:44 ,583 --> 00:39:47,169

Marc Preston: be living or, hey, anybody in history.

Speaker:1218

39:47 ,235 --> 00:39:48,258

Marc Preston: If you would like that you would like to

Speaker:1219

39:48 ,298 --> 00:39:50,244

Speaker:1220

39:50 ,304 --> 00:39:51,576

Speaker:1221

39:51 ,657 --> 00:39:52,801

Marc Preston: Who would those three people be?

Speaker:1222

39:54 ,359 --> 00:39:54,981

Marc Preston: Oh my God.

Speaker:1223

39:55 ,776 --> 00:39:57,460

40:26 ,997 --> 00:40:34,126

Rupert Evans: know, probably someone like Barack Obama,

Speaker:1236

40:34 ,186 --> 00:40:36,870

Rupert Evans: probably someone interesting like that.

Speaker:1237

40:38 ,056 --> 00:40:40,702

Rupert Evans: And yeah, and gosh, you've really put me on

Speaker:1238

40:40 ,722 --> 00:40:41,263

Rupert Evans: the spot here.

Speaker:1239

40:43 ,395 --> 00:40:44,319

Marc Preston: That's my job, you see.

Speaker:1240

40:44 ,975 --> 00:40:45,779

Rupert Evans: Hey the queen.

Speaker:1241

40:46 ,855 --> 00:40:48,259

Rupert Evans: It's the queen's birthday today, Marc.

Speaker:1242

40:48 ,279 --> 00:40:49,242

Rupert Evans: Do you know that she?

Speaker:1243

40:49 ,343 --> 00:40:49,483

Marc Preston: did.

Speaker:1244

40:50 ,435 --> 00:40:51,960

Marc Preston: I was about to say I was going to say why

Speaker:1245

40:52 ,000 --> 00:40:52,722

Marc Preston: would you know that?

Speaker:1246

40:53 ,103 --> 00:40:53,926

Rupert Evans: Come on, you wouldn't know that?

Speaker:1247

40:54 ,175 --> 00:40:55,046

Rupert Evans: Yeah, she's 96.

Speaker:1248

40:55 ,491 --> 00:40:57,266

Rupert Evans: I mean, she has two birthdays, which I have

Speaker:1249

40:57 ,306 --> 00:40:57,730

Rupert Evans: no understanding.

Speaker:1250

40:58 ,332 --> 00:40:59,676

Rupert Evans: I have no bloody clue why she has two

Speaker:1251

40:59 ,696 --> 00:41:00,860

Rupert Evans: birthdays every year, but she does.

Speaker:1252

41:02 ,242 --> 00:41:04,775

Rupert Evans: She doesn't age, she doesn't double every

Speaker:1253

41:04 ,815 --> 00:41:07,181

Rupert Evans: year, but she has a kind of official and

Speaker:1254

41:07 ,281 --> 00:41:09,979

Rupert Evans: unofficial birthday and I have no idea why.

Speaker:1255

41:10 ,059 --> 00:41:11,530

Rupert Evans: But I think it's a proper birthday today.

Speaker:1256

41:11 ,691 --> 00:41:14,965

Rupert Evans: So she's 96 years old and she's still doing.

Speaker:1257

41:15 ,548 --> 00:41:16,493

Rupert Evans: She's still doing 96.

Speaker:1258

41:16 ,554 --> 00:41:17,560

Marc Preston: Now, do they consider that a?

Speaker:1259

41:17 ,801 --> 00:41:18,646

Marc Preston: Do they consider that?

Speaker:1260

41:18 ,687 --> 00:41:20,244

Marc Preston: I guess in the US we call it a federal

Speaker:1261

41:20 ,305 --> 00:41:20,670

Marc Preston: holiday?

Speaker:1262

41:20 ,850 --> 00:41:22,916

Marc Preston: Do they consider that a holiday in the UK?

Speaker:1263

41:22 ,956 --> 00:41:24,681

Rupert Evans: No, no, I don't think so.

Speaker:1264

41:24 ,911 --> 00:41:26,678

Rupert Evans: Maybe I do know what we're having a holiday.

Speaker:1265

41:27 ,990 --> 00:41:31,119

Rupert Evans: I think we're having a national holiday in

Speaker:1266

41:31 ,339 --> 00:41:33,991

Rupert Evans: what they call it, the jubilee, which is

Speaker:1267

41:34 ,352 --> 00:41:36,358

Rupert Evans: which will be about how many years she's

Speaker:1268

41:36 ,398 --> 00:41:37,913

Rupert Evans: been on the throne, and that's in the

Speaker:1269

41:37 ,973 --> 00:41:38,194

Rupert Evans: summer.

Speaker:1270

41:38 ,791 --> 00:41:40,235

Rupert Evans: So I think we are having an extra holiday

Speaker:1271

41:40 ,275 --> 00:41:41,680

Rupert Evans: then, national, what they call it.

Speaker:1272

41:41 ,850 --> 00:41:43,857

Marc Preston: Isn't it coming up on like 70 years or

Speaker:1273

41:43 ,897 --> 00:41:44,941

Marc Preston: something like that, or?

Speaker:1274

41:45 ,510 --> 00:41:47,957

Rupert Evans: Yeah, some probably, I have no idea, but

Speaker:1275

41:47 ,977 --> 00:41:49,200

Rupert Evans: it's just a long downtime.

Speaker:1276

41:49 ,770 --> 00:41:51,817

Rupert Evans: So yeah, so there you go, there you go.

Rupert Evans: pretty incredible when I was growing up,

Speaker:1311

43:06 ,951 --> 00:43:09,161

Rupert Evans: but I also had crushes on sort of actors

Speaker:1312

43:09 ,181 --> 00:43:10,508

Rupert Evans: that I just thought were amazing.

Speaker:1313

43:10 ,608 --> 00:43:11,815

43:14 ,068 --> 00:43:14,370

Rupert Evans: won't know him.

Speaker:1317

43:14 ,390 --> 00:43:18,139

Rupert Evans: But this guy, his name is Paul Scofield and

Speaker:1318

43:18 ,179 --> 00:43:19,482

Rupert Evans: he was just an incredible actor.

Speaker:1319

43:20 ,010 --> 00:43:21,656

Rupert Evans: So for me, I was obsessed with Paul

Speaker:1320

43:21 ,696 --> 00:43:23,140

Rupert Evans: Scofield for a long time.

Speaker:1321

43:24 ,970 --> 00:43:28,740

Rupert Evans: So, yeah, I suppose you know, yeah, I was,

43:29 ,001 --> 00:43:29,442

Speaker:1323

43:31 ,910 --> 00:43:34,039

Rupert Evans: Yeah, I suppose.

Speaker:1324

43:35 ,445 --> 00:43:36,510

Rupert Evans: I don't know really.

Rupert Evans: Oh, I think Cindy, I think Cindy.

Speaker:1326

43:37 ,877 --> 00:43:39,667

Marc Preston: Crawford lands with a lot of guys of our

Speaker:1327

43:39 ,708 --> 00:43:40,110

Marc Preston: generation.

Speaker:1328

43:41 ,296 --> 00:43:42,603

Rupert Evans: Yeah, that was of our generation.

Speaker:1329

43:42 ,663 --> 00:43:44,010

Rupert Evans: It summed up the sort of white t-shirt,

Speaker:1330

43:44 ,592 --> 00:43:47,224

Rupert Evans: sort of denim jeans, sort of bleach jeans,

Speaker:1331

43:47 ,304 --> 00:43:48,590

Rupert Evans: you know, it was sort of that kind of era,

Speaker:1332

43:48 ,690 --> 00:43:49,031

Rupert Evans: wasn't it?

Speaker:1333

43:49 ,091 --> 00:43:51,437

Rupert Evans: You know where that kind of I don't know,

Speaker:1334

43:51 ,477 --> 00:43:53,710

Rupert Evans: it was all a wholesome American sort of you

Speaker:1335

43:53 ,751 --> 00:43:55,354

Rupert Evans: know vibe going on.

Speaker:1336

43:56 ,197 --> 00:43:57,961

Rupert Evans: I look now and it was a bit sort of I was.

Speaker:1337

43:58 ,161 --> 00:44:01,214

Rupert Evans: It was a bit kind of misdirected really,

Speaker:1338

44:01 ,234 --> 00:44:02,638

Rupert Evans: but you know, hey, we were, you know,

Speaker:1339

44:02 ,678 --> 00:44:04,343

Rupert Evans: products of the 80s and 90s.

Speaker:1340

44:05 ,094 --> 00:44:06,843

Marc Preston: Indeed, indeed Happily.

Speaker:1341

44:06 ,944 --> 00:44:08,010

Marc Preston: So it was a good era.

Speaker:1342

44:09 ,554 --> 00:44:11,881

Rupert Evans: Yeah, yeah the wonder years Indeed.

Speaker:1343

44:13 ,531 --> 00:44:15,301

Marc Preston: Next question I got for you is if you're

Speaker:1344

44:15 ,321 --> 00:44:17,010

Marc Preston: going to be I don't know like a year,

Speaker:1345

44:17 ,130 --> 00:44:18,474

Marc Preston: you're going to be on an island, exotic

Speaker:1346

44:18 ,594 --> 00:44:21,321

Marc Preston: island, dough internet, none of the digital

Speaker:1347

44:21 ,361 --> 00:44:21,562

Marc Preston: stuff.

Speaker:1348

44:21 ,891 --> 00:44:23,214

Marc Preston: It'll be comfortable, you know, but you got

Speaker:1349

44:23 ,234 --> 00:44:25,480

Marc Preston: to be there for a year and you can only

Speaker:1350

44:25 ,520 --> 00:44:28,177

Marc Preston: bring one album and one movie on DVD

Speaker:1351

44:28 ,197 --> 00:44:29,140

Marc Preston: because there's no streaming.

Speaker:1352

44:29 ,442 --> 00:44:31,550

Marc Preston: Okay, what would that album and what would

Speaker:1353

44:31 ,570 --> 00:44:32,471

Marc Preston: that DVD be?

Speaker:1354

44:34 ,213 --> 00:44:36,996

Rupert Evans: Oh my God, that's really hard.

Speaker:1355

44:39 ,319 --> 00:44:42,843

Rupert Evans: God, I think I would probably.

Speaker:1356

44:43 ,804 --> 00:44:46,312

Rupert Evans: For me it would be a live album, because I

Speaker:1357

44:46 ,533 --> 00:44:47,857

Rupert Evans: listened to a lot of live albums.

Speaker:1358

44:48 ,579 --> 00:44:51,729

Rupert Evans: It would probably, god it would do.

Speaker:1359

44:51 ,749 --> 00:44:53,655

Rupert Evans: You know what I always take with me James

Speaker:1360

44:53 ,695 --> 00:44:54,016

Rupert Evans: Taylor.

Speaker:1361

44:54 ,578 --> 00:44:56,383

Rupert Evans: So James Taylor Live.

Speaker:1362

44:56 ,463 --> 00:44:58,770

Rupert Evans: It's a double album, so I'm being a bit

Speaker:1363

44:58 ,870 --> 00:45:01,799

Rupert Evans: naughty because it's got two CDs in the

Speaker:1364

45:01 ,879 --> 00:45:04,568

Rupert Evans: actual book let's go qualifying Okay.

Speaker:1365

45:04 ,628 --> 00:45:06,593

Rupert Evans: So it is a box set, as it were, but it's a

Speaker:1366

45:06 ,613 --> 00:45:09,560

Rupert Evans: double album of James Taylor Live, I think,

Speaker:1367

45:09 ,721 --> 00:45:11,913

Rupert Evans: and it's sort of his, you know, I think

Speaker:1368

45:12 ,514 --> 00:45:15,042

Rupert Evans: it's all his life, all his songs, but from

Speaker:1369

45:15 ,203 --> 00:45:17,731

Rupert Evans: various concerts, and the album is just

Speaker:1370

45:17 ,751 --> 00:45:19,077

Rupert Evans: called James Taylor Live and it's a

Speaker:1371

45:19 ,137 --> 00:45:20,906

Rupert Evans: fantastic album and it's something that

Speaker:1372

45:21 ,307 --> 00:45:22,814

Rupert Evans: wherever I go in the world I have it on my

Speaker:1373

45:22 ,854 --> 00:45:23,256

Rupert Evans: phone.

Speaker:1374

45:23 ,838 --> 00:45:25,806

Rupert Evans: If ever I'm sort of feeling a bit lost, I

Speaker:1375

45:25 ,967 --> 00:45:27,171

Rupert Evans: always just put it on, you know, and it

Speaker:1376

45:27 ,232 --> 00:45:28,014

Rupert Evans: always sorts me out.

Speaker:1377

45:28 ,195 --> 00:45:29,680

Marc Preston: It's kind of like your musical comfort food,

Speaker:1378

45:29 ,720 --> 00:45:30,021

Marc Preston: I guess.

Speaker:1379

45:31 ,892 --> 00:45:32,432

Rupert Evans: Yeah, exactly.

Speaker:1380

45:33 ,094 --> 00:45:36,099

Rupert Evans: And as for God, the movie, that's really

Speaker:1381

45:36 ,179 --> 00:45:37,541

Rupert Evans: hard.

Speaker:1382

45:38 ,362 --> 00:45:43,991

Rupert Evans: I mean one movie, Jesus, you know what.

Speaker:1383

45:44 ,031 --> 00:45:46,417

Rupert Evans: It would probably be something sort of

Speaker:1384

45:46 ,638 --> 00:45:50,051

Rupert Evans: comedy based, because I just, you know, you

Speaker:1385

45:50 ,071 --> 00:45:51,999

Rupert Evans: want to probably keep myself amused.

Speaker:1386

45:52 ,642 --> 00:45:54,148

Rupert Evans: You know, I hate to say it would probably

Speaker:1387

45:54 ,188 --> 00:45:55,995

Rupert Evans: be Groundhog Day, because Bill Murray, for

Speaker:1388

45:56 ,015 --> 00:45:58,286

Rupert Evans: me, is just amazing and I, you know he's

Speaker:1389

45:58 ,446 --> 00:45:58,687

Rupert Evans: actually.

Speaker:1390

45:58 ,728 --> 00:46:01,036

Rupert Evans: He's someone I'd like to meet and talk to,

Speaker:1391

46:01 ,799 --> 00:46:03,646

Rupert Evans: Bill Murray, because I'm sure he's got some

Speaker:1392

46:03 ,686 --> 00:46:04,268

Rupert Evans: great stories.

Speaker:1393

46:04 ,348 --> 00:46:06,093

Rupert Evans: So probably something like Groundhog Day

Speaker:1394

46:06 ,595 --> 00:46:09,562

Rupert Evans: again, not showing a kid of the 90s.

Speaker:1395

46:09 ,622 --> 00:46:13,212

Rupert Evans: So yeah, probably something kind of crass

Speaker:1396

46:13 ,392 --> 00:46:16,239

Rupert Evans: and slightly stupid, but hey, you know it's

Speaker:1397

46:16 ,279 --> 00:46:16,640

Rupert Evans: a great movie.

Speaker:1398

46:16 ,720 --> 00:46:18,793

Marc Preston: Well, no, we grew up in an era where we had

Speaker:1399

46:18 ,833 --> 00:46:19,736

Marc Preston: those movies.

Speaker:1400

46:19 ,877 --> 00:46:21,684

Marc Preston: Like the closest thing we got to it now,

Speaker:1401

46:22 ,226 --> 00:46:24,079

Marc Preston: which is, I adore anything I probably

Speaker:1402

46:24 ,147 --> 00:46:25,718

Marc Preston: mentioned this at least once in episodes

Speaker:1403

46:25 ,786 --> 00:46:27,746

Marc Preston: Judd Apatow, the kind of movies he does,

Speaker:1404

46:27 ,814 --> 00:46:30,678

Marc Preston: some of those seemingly ridiculous, kind of

Speaker:1405

Rupert Evans: Probably no people, no one else, yeah, and

Speaker:1423

47:29 ,678 --> 00:47:33,205

Rupert Evans: long walks and that's kind of it.

Speaker:1424

47:34 ,031 --> 00:47:35,798

Marc Preston: It seems like a lot of nice introspection

Speaker:1425

47:35 ,878 --> 00:47:36,199

Marc Preston: time.

Speaker:1426

47:36 ,481 --> 00:47:38,188

Rupert Evans: It's called place no place.

Speaker:1442

48:05 ,674 --> 00:48:06,898

Rupert Evans: It's a very special place.

Speaker:1456

48:38 ,795 --> 00:48:40,820

Rupert Evans: So if you ever get a chance, go and visit.

Speaker:1457

48:40 ,840 --> 00:48:41,462

48:41 ,950 --> 00:48:43,555

Marc Preston: We're in that summer vacation planning

48:45 ,660 --> 00:48:47,253

Marc Preston: to collaborate on like, what did they

Speaker:1461

48:47 ,274 --> 00:48:48,378

Marc Preston: decide that they want to do?

Speaker:1462

48:48 ,459 --> 00:48:51,090

Marc Preston: And so, my gosh right, I'm tempted to say

Speaker:1463

48:51 ,210 --> 00:48:52,094

Marc Preston: we're just going to go to Canada.

Speaker:1464

48:52 ,274 --> 00:48:54,282

Marc Preston: family.

Speaker:1467

48:58 ,619 --> 00:49:00,225

Marc Preston: I found that I've had a lot of experiences,

Speaker:1468

49:00 ,707 --> 00:49:01,310

Marc Preston: as you have in life.

Speaker:1469

49:01 ,410 --> 00:49:02,595

Marc Preston: I think it's fun with the kids to have

Speaker:1470

49:02 ,635 --> 00:49:06,509

Marc Preston: experiences that nobody, that none of y'all,

Speaker:1471

49:06 ,529 --> 00:49:06,689

Marc Preston: have had.

Speaker:1472

49:06 ,709 --> 00:49:08,599

Marc Preston: You get to have that time together for the

Speaker:1473

49:08 ,639 --> 00:49:09,101

Marc Preston: first time.

Speaker:1474

49:09 ,222 --> 00:49:10,589

Marc Preston: Everybody's having that first experience.

Speaker:1475

49:10 ,609 --> 00:49:11,269

Rupert Evans: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker:1476

49:11 ,328 --> 00:49:12,723

Marc Preston: We kind of touched on it before.

Speaker:1477

49:12 ,782 --> 00:49:14,192

Marc Preston: But if you weren't doing this for a living

Speaker:1478

49:14 ,273 --> 00:49:16,297

Marc Preston: and they said, okay, no more TV, no more

Speaker:1479

49:16 ,377 --> 00:49:18,422

Marc Preston: theatrical, no more stages, no more movies,

Speaker:1480

49:18 ,462 --> 00:49:21,204

Marc Preston: no more acting, it's just not possible what

Speaker:1481

49:21 ,244 --> 00:49:22,290

Marc Preston: would you be doing for a living?

Speaker:1482

49:23 ,412 --> 00:49:26,118

Rupert Evans: Restoring old Landrovers series two

Speaker:1483

49:26 ,158 --> 00:49:27,902

Rupert Evans: Landrovers, just restoring the old

Speaker:1484

49:27 ,942 --> 00:49:31,295

Rupert Evans: Landrovers and bringing them back to life.

Speaker:1485

49:31 ,737 --> 00:49:32,901

Rupert Evans: Yeah, that's probably about it.

Speaker:1486

49:33 ,022 --> 00:49:33,464

Marc Preston: Very good.

Speaker:1487

49:33 ,484 --> 00:49:34,869

Marc Preston: It's working with your hands.

Speaker:1488

49:35 ,271 --> 00:49:35,672

Marc Preston: I like that.

Speaker:1489

49:35 ,693 --> 00:49:36,094

Marc Preston: I like it.

Speaker:1490

49:36 ,637 --> 00:49:37,601

Marc Preston: Now the last question.

Speaker:1491

49:37 ,621 --> 00:49:39,188

Marc Preston: Speak of another vehicle, delorean.

Speaker:1492

49:39 ,228 --> 00:49:40,900

Marc Preston: You can time travel and you're going to zip

Speaker:1493

49:40 ,962 --> 00:49:42,839

Marc Preston: back to when you're 16 years old and you're

Speaker:1494

49:42 ,900 --> 00:49:45,456

Marc Preston: going to offer up a piece of advice for 16

Speaker:1495

49:45 ,476 --> 00:49:45,978

Marc Preston: year old you.

Speaker:1496

49:46 ,540 --> 00:49:48,608

Marc Preston: That's going to kind of kind of smooth out

Speaker:1497

49:48 ,628 --> 00:49:50,213

Marc Preston: the path a little bit for the coming years.

Speaker:1498

49:50 ,273 --> 00:49:52,660

Marc Preston: What would that piece of advice be to 16

Speaker:1499

49:52 ,700 --> 00:49:53,261

Marc Preston: year old Rupert?

Speaker:1500

49:54 ,810 --> 00:49:57,476

Rupert Evans: Not worry so much and take more risks.

Speaker:1501

49:58 ,098 --> 00:50:03,993

Rupert Evans: I think in life I just, you know, worrying

Speaker:1502

50:04 ,013 --> 00:50:05,577

Rupert Evans: is one of the most pointless activities

Speaker:1503

50:05 ,617 --> 00:50:07,621

Rupert Evans: that I end up doing a lot of.

Speaker:1504

50:08 ,283 --> 00:50:11,015

Rupert Evans: And actually I think your real worries

Speaker:1505

50:11 ,115 --> 00:50:15,067

Rupert Evans: happen on a quiet Wednesday afternoon when

Speaker:1506

50:15 ,107 --> 00:50:17,297

Rupert Evans: you least expect it and the phone rings and

Speaker:1507

50:17 ,383 --> 00:50:19,239

Rupert Evans: then suddenly there's an emergency and

Speaker:1508

50:19 ,325 --> 00:50:21,144

Rupert Evans: there's a real worry and the rest of it

Speaker:1509

50:21 ,184 --> 00:50:22,426

Rupert Evans: really doesn't need worrying about.

Speaker:1510

50:22 ,687 --> 00:50:24,389

Rupert Evans: So I suppose I would tell him not to worry

Speaker:1511

50:24 ,429 --> 00:50:26,654

Rupert Evans: so damn much because it's a complete waste

Speaker:1512

50:26 ,694 --> 00:50:28,819

Rupert Evans: of damn time and also, if he learns and

Speaker:1513

50:28 ,859 --> 00:50:31,632

Rupert Evans: works out how to not worry, to give me a

Speaker:1514

50:31 ,712 --> 00:50:34,520

Rupert Evans: call and let me know how he did it because,

Speaker:1515

50:34 ,560 --> 00:50:35,663

Rupert Evans: I ain't got a clue.

Speaker:1516

50:37 ,111 --> 00:50:37,893

Announcer: Yeah that's.

Speaker:1517

50:37 ,913 --> 00:50:39,658

Marc Preston: That theme has come up a number of times.

Speaker:1518

50:39 ,678 --> 00:50:40,401

Marc Preston: There's something I think of.

Speaker:1519

50:40 ,751 --> 00:50:42,258

Marc Preston: What, if I was to go back and do the same

Speaker:1520

50:42 ,318 --> 00:50:44,869

Marc Preston: thing is, is the stresses that you come.

Speaker:1521

50:44 ,889 --> 00:50:46,978

Marc Preston: You know I'll correlate it like this I

Speaker:1522

50:46 ,998 --> 00:50:49,166

Marc Preston: remember waiting tables once and I remember

Speaker:1523

50:49 ,448 --> 00:50:50,613

Marc Preston: if anybody's working in the service

Speaker:1524

50:50 ,673 --> 00:50:53,365

Marc Preston: industry, yeah, is that initial feeling

Speaker:1525

50:53 ,385 --> 00:50:54,771

Marc Preston: when you get that you're working at double,

Speaker:1526

50:54 ,811 --> 00:50:55,635

Marc Preston: you're getting slammed.

Speaker:1527

50:55 ,675 --> 00:50:58,246

Marc Preston: It's like that stress and I remember it's

Speaker:1528

50:58 ,286 --> 00:51:00,397

Marc Preston: just it's like second or third day and I

Speaker:1529

51:00 ,417 --> 00:51:01,947

Marc Preston: was on my own doing it and I talked to the

Speaker:1530

51:01 ,967 --> 00:51:02,168

Marc Preston: manager.

Speaker:1531

51:02 ,188 --> 00:51:03,533

Marc Preston: I was like, oh man, so stressful it's like.

Speaker:1532

51:03 ,914 --> 00:51:05,358

Marc Preston: So sit down, let me tell you something.

Speaker:1533

51:05 ,459 --> 00:51:08,347

Marc Preston: Stress is being apparent.

Speaker:1534

51:08 ,809 --> 00:51:10,736

Marc Preston: And having three young kids and not having

Speaker:1535

51:10 ,776 --> 00:51:13,528

Marc Preston: enough food to feed them and not having not

Speaker:1536

51:13 ,608 --> 00:51:15,035

Marc Preston: worrying about where to live, you started

Speaker:1537

51:15 ,075 --> 00:51:16,803

Marc Preston: going down all these really big adult kind

Speaker:1538

51:16 ,823 --> 00:51:17,707

Marc Preston: of things like this.

Speaker:1539

51:18 ,028 --> 00:51:20,478

Marc Preston: This isn't stress, it's like you're going

Speaker:1540

51:20 ,498 --> 00:51:21,362

Marc Preston: to get it, don't worry.

Speaker:1541

51:21 ,422 --> 00:51:23,570

Marc Preston: And it kind of put this reframe some things

Speaker:1542

51:23 ,690 --> 00:51:23,871

Marc Preston: going.

Speaker:1543

51:23 ,931 --> 00:51:26,120

Marc Preston: Okay, this is, this is a task, this is a

Speaker:1544

51:26 ,180 --> 00:51:27,927

Marc Preston: skill, this is something I will learn.

Speaker:1545

51:27 ,947 --> 00:51:30,840

Marc Preston: It's bumpy road to get there, but it kind

Speaker:1546

51:30 ,880 --> 00:51:31,805

Marc Preston: of put things in the frame.

Speaker:1547

51:31 ,925 --> 00:51:32,528

Marc Preston: It's kind of an entry.

Speaker:1548

51:32 ,548 --> 00:51:33,291

Marc Preston: It's kind of funny.

Speaker:1549

51:33 ,311 --> 00:51:34,955

Marc Preston: You know, those little nuggets of wisdom

Speaker:1550

51:34 ,995 --> 00:51:37,341

Marc Preston: don't always come from some you know

Speaker:1551

51:37 ,401 --> 00:51:39,718

Marc Preston: Buddhist monk or something, something like

Speaker:1552

51:39 ,758 --> 00:51:39,959

Marc Preston: that.

Speaker:1553

51:40 ,240 --> 00:51:42,207

Marc Preston: Sometimes somebody just run across as that

Speaker:1554

51:42 ,469 --> 00:51:43,732

Marc Preston: little piece of info you need to hear in

Speaker:1555

51:43 ,752 --> 00:51:45,737

Marc Preston: that moment, but not stressing.

Speaker:1556

51:45 ,837 --> 00:51:48,531

Marc Preston: But then again, a lot of times it's easier

Speaker:1557

51:48 ,592 --> 00:51:49,273

Marc Preston: said than done.

Speaker:1558

51:49 ,354 --> 00:51:51,039
