145

00:05:02,625 --> 00:05:04,749

171

00:06:07,146 --> 00:06:09,858

Sebastian Roch�: basically the Bahamas to Trinidad and

172

00:06:09,898 --> 00:06:11,823

Sebastian Roch�: Tobago and the South American coast, it's,

173

00:06:11,984 --> 00:06:15,292

Sebastian Roch�: it's really a wonderland of for sailing.

174

00:06:15,580 --> 00:06:17,547

Sebastian Roch�: So that's, we were sort of based in

175

00:06:17,587 --> 00:06:20,678

Sebastian Roch�: Martinique and at one point, and you know

176

00:06:20,738 --> 00:06:23,023

Sebastian Roch�: cause, we were French speaking and you know

177

00:06:23,344 --> 00:06:25,348

Sebastian Roch�: we, you know, within a year we were broke

178

00:06:26,010 --> 00:06:27,573

Sebastian Roch�: and my father needed a job.

179

00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,248

Sebastian Roch�: He became a tool guide in Martinique.

180

00:06:30,940 --> 00:06:33,443

Sebastian Roch�: I gave windsurfing lessons, my mum repaired

181

00:06:33,523 --> 00:06:36,835

Sebastian Roch�: sails and and then we moved on and and then

182

00:06:36,915 --> 00:06:38,742

Sebastian Roch�: tortolo in the British Virgin lines became

183

00:06:38,802 --> 00:06:41,921

Sebastian Roch�: our second sort of base And yeah, so this

184

00:06:41,962 --> 00:06:45,368

Sebastian Roch�: was a sort of five, six years on a boat

185

00:06:45,509 --> 00:06:49,044

Sebastian Roch�: that were that truly changed my outlook on

186

00:06:49,124 --> 00:06:49,406

Sebastian Roch�: life.

187

00:06:49,641 --> 00:06:50,646

Marc Preston: I mean, how could it not?

188

00:06:50,780 --> 00:06:53,129

Marc Preston: I mean that that's just like were you

189

00:06:53,169 --> 00:06:55,176

Marc Preston: cognizant at that age that you were having

190

00:06:55,197 --> 00:06:58,229

Marc Preston: a kind of a very unique experience, that

191

00:06:58,410 --> 00:07:00,418

Marc Preston: that that not many other people got to have,

192

00:07:00,539 --> 00:07:01,824

Marc Preston: or was this just your norm?

193

00:07:03,381 --> 00:07:06,308

Sebastian Roch�: No, no, i, I understood that this was a

194

00:07:06,830 --> 00:07:08,093

Sebastian Roch�: once in a lifetime experience.

195

00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:10,085

Sebastian Roch�: I mean, as soon as you know, as I left, as

196

00:07:10,125 --> 00:07:13,172

Sebastian Roch�: I was telling you, i was kind of a fearful

197

00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,101

Sebastian Roch�: kid, not very good at school, and it it

198

00:07:16,161 --> 00:07:20,608

Sebastian Roch�: sort of built my sailing and the trip in

199

00:07:20,648 --> 00:07:24,414

Sebastian Roch�: itself built my self confidence as a person.

200

00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:28,187

Sebastian Roch�: I became passionate about spearfishing and

201

00:07:28,287 --> 00:07:31,033

Sebastian Roch�: freediving and shell collecting and I

202

00:07:31,053 --> 00:07:32,405

Sebastian Roch�: became really good at it.

203

00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,045

Sebastian Roch�: Well, you know, amongst my brothers I was,

204

00:07:35,326 --> 00:07:37,752

Sebastian Roch�: i became the quote unquote, the best at it,

205

00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:40,347

Sebastian Roch�: and it built my confidence as a person.

206

00:07:40,588 --> 00:07:43,117

Sebastian Roch�: And and, and you know, being having the

207

00:07:43,157 --> 00:07:46,129

Sebastian Roch�: responsibility of, of working on a boat,

208

00:07:46,289 --> 00:07:48,016

Sebastian Roch�: you know, because my dad, you know, would

209

00:07:48,116 --> 00:07:50,584

Sebastian Roch�: make us do all the chores, and you learn

210

00:07:50,624 --> 00:07:53,513

Sebastian Roch�: very quickly to be extremely adaptable to,

211

00:07:54,195 --> 00:07:56,381

Sebastian Roch�: to, to, to have the responsibility of

212

00:07:56,461 --> 00:07:59,269

Sebastian Roch�: having a night watch, you know, or a or a

213

00:07:59,329 --> 00:08:01,584

Sebastian Roch�: morning watch, these are things that take a

214

00:08:01,764 --> 00:08:03,370

Sebastian Roch�: huge amount of responsibility on a boat.

215

00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:07,050

Sebastian Roch�: You you're responsible for the safety of

216

00:08:07,070 --> 00:08:07,411

Sebastian Roch�: the boat.

217

00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,808

Sebastian Roch�: So it it, it makes you grow up very fast.

218

00:08:10,580 --> 00:08:13,160

Sebastian Roch�: And also, I was a very avid reader, so I

219

00:08:13,281 --> 00:08:15,827

Sebastian Roch�: read, i devoured anything that I could,

220

00:08:15,847 --> 00:08:18,373

Sebastian Roch�: because this was way before the internet,

221

00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,289

Sebastian Roch�: you know, we didn't have a TV, we had the

222

00:08:21,349 --> 00:08:24,238

Sebastian Roch�: radio BBC World Service that my mother

223

00:08:24,539 --> 00:08:26,226

Sebastian Roch�: listened yeah, listened to mostly.

224

00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,946

Sebastian Roch�: So you are immersed in this extraordinary

225

00:08:31,449 --> 00:08:33,252

Sebastian Roch�: adventure and you're discovering new

226

00:08:33,312 --> 00:08:33,833

Sebastian Roch�: cultures.

227

00:08:34,020 --> 00:08:35,827

Marc Preston: It's almost kind of a Hemingway-esque in a

228

00:08:35,867 --> 00:08:36,489

Marc Preston: way, kind of.

229

00:08:36,701 --> 00:08:38,260

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, yeah, it's very Hemingway-esque, It's

230

00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,050

Sebastian Roch�: very mosquito coast in a way, when you,

231

00:08:40,130 --> 00:08:41,900

Sebastian Roch�: when you come to think of it, going back to

232

00:08:42,041 --> 00:08:42,924

Sebastian Roch�: Harrison Ford, you know.

233

00:08:43,820 --> 00:08:44,784

Marc Preston: Yeah, exactly.

234

00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:45,741

Sebastian Roch�: It is.

235

00:08:45,902 --> 00:08:47,909

Sebastian Roch�: It is a bit, it is a bit down.

236

00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,724

Sebastian Roch�: My father wanted to experience something

237

00:08:49,805 --> 00:08:52,491

Sebastian Roch�: different with his children and, and you

238

00:08:52,511 --> 00:08:54,783

Sebastian Roch�: know, and then the closeness of the

239

00:08:54,844 --> 00:08:58,711

Sebastian Roch�: confined nature of living on a sailing boat

240

00:08:59,172 --> 00:09:02,524

Sebastian Roch�: pushes you to adapt and to and to actually

241

00:09:02,544 --> 00:09:05,692

Sebastian Roch�: go deeper into a family dynamic.

242

00:09:06,121 --> 00:09:07,465

Sebastian Roch�: It's, it's, it's a fascinating, it was a

243

00:09:07,525 --> 00:09:08,448

Sebastian Roch�: fascinating experience.

244

00:09:09,260 --> 00:09:09,942

Sebastian Roch�: How many brothers do you have?

245

00:09:10,605 --> 00:09:13,285

Sebastian Roch�: Two brothers, so we were three boys on on

246

00:09:13,726 --> 00:09:18,566

Sebastian Roch�: on the boat And after a couple of years my

247

00:09:18,827 --> 00:09:19,769

Sebastian Roch�: older brother left.

248

00:09:19,889 --> 00:09:22,441

Sebastian Roch�: You know, he had enough and he was I don't

249

00:09:22,462 --> 00:09:23,990

Sebastian Roch�: think he was, you know, he was that that

250

00:09:24,111 --> 00:09:25,920

Sebastian Roch�: age where he was like I'm 18, i'm out of

251

00:09:25,941 --> 00:09:29,205

Sebastian Roch�: here, and my younger brother then, after a

252

00:09:29,266 --> 00:09:32,357

Sebastian Roch�: few years to couldn't deal with the

253

00:09:32,458 --> 00:09:34,465

Sebastian Roch�: schooling, the home schooling, and and he

254

00:09:34,505 --> 00:09:36,402

Sebastian Roch�: was sent to boarding school And basically

255

00:09:36,442 --> 00:09:38,847

Sebastian Roch�: the last few years I was left, i was by

256

00:09:38,887 --> 00:09:42,282

Sebastian Roch�: myself with my parents And I enjoyed that,

257

00:09:42,623 --> 00:09:45,931

Sebastian Roch�: that responsibility of being in charge of

258

00:09:45,951 --> 00:09:47,742

Sebastian Roch�: the whole sailing boats, of the inner

259

00:09:47,802 --> 00:09:51,131

Sebastian Roch�: workings and out of workings of the boats.

260

00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,586

Sebastian Roch�: It really it matured me to an amazing

261

00:09:55,666 --> 00:09:56,007

Sebastian Roch�: extent.

262

00:09:56,441 --> 00:09:57,888

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, i embraced it.

263

00:09:58,631 --> 00:09:59,974

Marc Preston: Is there still something that's part of

264

00:10:00,014 --> 00:10:00,576

Marc Preston: your life now?

265

00:10:00,616 --> 00:10:02,400

Marc Preston: do you still sail, or do you have a boat,

266

00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,992

Marc Preston: or is it you know?

267

00:10:04,072 --> 00:10:05,737

Marc Preston: is there something you left as a chapter in

268

00:10:05,778 --> 00:10:06,119

Marc Preston: your youth?

269

00:10:06,971 --> 00:10:09,336

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, yeah, i still actually sail I.

270

00:10:09,617 --> 00:10:12,811

Sebastian Roch�: You know, i do the sort of racing, the

271

00:10:12,871 --> 00:10:15,376

Sebastian Roch�: summer series, marina del Rey.

272

00:10:15,396 --> 00:10:17,501

Sebastian Roch�: We do these racing series every every

273

00:10:17,942 --> 00:10:18,523

Sebastian Roch�: Wednesday is it?

274

00:10:18,770 --> 00:10:20,614

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, every Wednesday we sail on these

275

00:10:21,255 --> 00:10:25,971

Sebastian Roch�: J109s which are sort of you know sailing

276

00:10:26,011 --> 00:10:29,078

Sebastian Roch�: boats specifically made for racing.

277

00:10:29,118 --> 00:10:31,103

Sebastian Roch�: So that's a fun part of sailing.

278

00:10:31,471 --> 00:10:33,915

Sebastian Roch�: I personally prefer the.

279

00:10:34,737 --> 00:10:37,061

Sebastian Roch�: I would prefer myself to own my boats and

280

00:10:37,742 --> 00:10:39,873

Sebastian Roch�: be solo navigating.

281

00:10:39,913 --> 00:10:41,557

Sebastian Roch�: But you know that's I don't have the time

282

00:10:41,597 --> 00:10:43,562

Sebastian Roch�: to do that at the moment.

283

00:10:43,650 --> 00:10:46,398

Sebastian Roch�: But so I do enjoy the racing.

284

00:10:46,518 --> 00:10:48,644

Sebastian Roch�: But I've continued.

285

00:10:48,704 --> 00:10:52,152

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, my younger brother is a captain on

286

00:10:52,653 --> 00:10:54,837

Sebastian Roch�: adventure cruise ships and my older brother

287

00:10:55,058 --> 00:10:58,444

Sebastian Roch�: used to build maxi yachts.

288

00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:00,795

Sebastian Roch�: He's not in that business anymore, but

289

00:11:00,835 --> 00:11:04,891

Sebastian Roch�: we've continued sort of sailing when we can.

290

00:11:05,192 --> 00:11:05,593

Sebastian Roch�: You know it's.

291

00:11:05,754 --> 00:11:07,859

Sebastian Roch�: It's difficult when it's difficult to make

292

00:11:07,899 --> 00:11:09,573

Sebastian Roch�: any plans as an actor, because you never

293

00:11:09,593 --> 00:11:10,958

Sebastian Roch�: know when your next job is gonna come.

294

00:11:12,493 --> 00:11:13,817

Marc Preston: Yeah, well, you said your father, you, i

295

00:11:13,837 --> 00:11:15,902

Marc Preston: guess your grandparents were in a foreign

296

00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:17,475

Marc Preston: service and your father's a corporate guy

297

00:11:17,495 --> 00:11:18,177

Marc Preston: and your brother's doing.

298

00:11:18,217 --> 00:11:20,414

Marc Preston: But begs the question how did you end up

299

00:11:20,454 --> 00:11:21,858

Marc Preston: being the thespian of the family?

300

00:11:21,918 --> 00:11:23,554

Marc Preston: is there something that was someone else

301

00:11:23,594 --> 00:11:24,858

Marc Preston: that you were kind of looking at or you'd

302

00:11:24,898 --> 00:11:26,897

Marc Preston: like this is just being on the boat?

303

00:11:26,957 --> 00:11:28,966

Marc Preston: you said in reading, and yeah, was just

304

00:11:29,006 --> 00:11:30,893

Marc Preston: that you had that time to kind of let your

305

00:11:30,954 --> 00:11:32,840

Marc Preston: imagination just kind of flex and go

306

00:11:32,910 --> 00:11:33,553

Marc Preston: different places.

307

00:11:33,674 --> 00:11:35,122

Marc Preston: That does that part of what drew you into

308

00:11:35,222 --> 00:11:35,443

Marc Preston: acting.

309

00:11:36,092 --> 00:11:37,357

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, it came before it came.

310

00:11:37,498 --> 00:11:39,808

Sebastian Roch�: Very, very early on, i found myself, you

311

00:11:39,828 --> 00:11:44,396

Sebastian Roch�: know, loving to imitate people and having a

312

00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:50,713

Sebastian Roch�: fascination for theater and film, as as a

313

00:11:50,773 --> 00:11:53,564

Sebastian Roch�: kid, and it's something I remember you know

314

00:11:53,665 --> 00:11:56,075

Sebastian Roch�: very clearly at six years old, around that

315

00:11:56,195 --> 00:11:58,024

Sebastian Roch�: age, saying, yeah, when I grow up I'm gonna

316

00:11:58,064 --> 00:11:58,506

Sebastian Roch�: be an actor.

317

00:11:58,848 --> 00:12:01,879

Sebastian Roch�: I would love to disguise myself and and

318

00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:05,130

Sebastian Roch�: create adventures in my head and I thought

319

00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:07,100

Sebastian Roch�: to myself this is, this is truly what I

320

00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:07,522

Sebastian Roch�: want to do.

321

00:12:07,904 --> 00:12:08,407

Sebastian Roch�: Of course it was.

322

00:12:08,447 --> 00:12:11,155

Sebastian Roch�: It's, you know, when you're that young it's

323

00:12:11,215 --> 00:12:15,825

Sebastian Roch�: such a sort of dream-like idea.

324

00:12:16,166 --> 00:12:20,479

Sebastian Roch�: And then, you know, then we had that, you

325

00:12:20,499 --> 00:12:22,345

Sebastian Roch�: know, we had that moment on the boat from

326

00:12:22,606 --> 00:12:25,277

Sebastian Roch�: 12 to 18, where I was thinking how am I

327

00:12:25,297 --> 00:12:25,919

Sebastian Roch�: gonna be an actor?

328

00:12:25,939 --> 00:12:28,370

Sebastian Roch�: but I remember very well leaving the

329

00:12:28,551 --> 00:12:31,101

Sebastian Roch�: islands and my parents and going, going

330

00:12:31,141 --> 00:12:34,392

Sebastian Roch�: back to Europe, basically to pursue my, my

331

00:12:35,554 --> 00:12:36,576

Sebastian Roch�: craft as an actor.

332

00:12:36,796 --> 00:12:38,059

Sebastian Roch�: I truly, you know, i didn't.

333

00:12:38,239 --> 00:12:40,991

Sebastian Roch�: I didn't do school plays because I was

334

00:12:41,051 --> 00:12:41,552

Sebastian Roch�: homeschooled.

335

00:12:41,592 --> 00:12:44,720

Sebastian Roch�: I could get hold of a television, i would

346

00:13:05,658 --> 00:13:08,993

Sebastian Roch�: basically imprint my brain with any form of

00:13:09,134 --> 00:13:12,682

Sebastian Roch�: film and, and notably my experiences in

348

00:13:12,742 --> 00:13:14,654

Sebastian Roch�: two languages at home.

385

00:14:27,709 --> 00:14:29,918

Sebastian Roch�: So it was, it was a sort of normal

386

00:14:29,958 --> 00:14:32,750

Sebastian Roch�: occurrence to jump from one language to the

387

00:14:32,770 --> 00:14:35,916

Sebastian Roch�: other, but I truly had a fascination for my

388

00:14:36,578 --> 00:14:37,439

Sebastian Roch�: British culture.

389

00:14:38,041 --> 00:14:40,292

00:14:51,773 --> 00:14:55,020

Sebastian Roch�: A Stuart, you know, comes from that family

397

00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,077

Sebastian Roch�: tradition and I would go to my grandparents

398

00:14:58,219 --> 00:15:00,398

Sebastian Roch�: and you know they used to have the, the,

399

00:15:00,541 --> 00:15:02,973

Sebastian Roch�: the family tree, this extraordinary family

400

00:15:03,013 --> 00:15:08,187

401

00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:09,410

Marc Preston: is just the most basic and I could actually

411

00:15:31,969 --> 00:15:34,162

Marc Preston: track back to to where I had people who

412

00:15:34,202 --> 00:15:35,450

00:16:34,193 --> 00:16:35,036

Sebastian Roch�: our tree.

444

00:16:35,076 --> 00:16:37,707

Sebastian Roch�: But what's really fascinating is the, the

445

00:16:37,767 --> 00:16:38,711

Sebastian Roch�: start, you know.

446

00:16:38,731 --> 00:16:41,097

Sebastian Roch�: Lochaber, who was the son of Banquo, banquo

448

Sebastian Roch�: Macbeth by Shakespeare.

451

00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,669

Sebastian Roch�: So it's it's really fascinating that it's

452

00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:54,874

Sebastian Roch�: this again.

453

00:16:55,336 --> 00:16:56,502

454

00:16:56,582 --> 00:16:58,149

455

00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:58,390

Sebastian Roch�: It's.

456

00:16:58,551 --> 00:17:01,240

460

00:17:09,563 --> 00:17:12,341

Sebastian Roch�: And this continued throughout my life.

461

00:17:12,421 --> 00:17:14,610

Sebastian Roch�: As a child, i was fascinated by that whole

462

00:17:14,730 --> 00:17:16,860

Sebastian Roch�: history and and the British side of my

463

00:17:16,941 --> 00:17:17,302

Sebastian Roch�: family.

464

00:17:17,383 --> 00:17:19,652

Sebastian Roch�: I sort of rejected the French side and I

465

00:17:19,712 --> 00:17:22,762

Sebastian Roch�: just wanted to be British, which explains

466

00:17:22,862 --> 00:17:25,711

Sebastian Roch�: why, after I finished my my you know, i

467

00:17:25,751 --> 00:17:27,923

Sebastian Roch�: went back to France, tried to get into

468

00:17:27,963 --> 00:17:29,671

Sebastian Roch�: drama school in England was too expensive

469

00:17:29,711 --> 00:17:32,177

Sebastian Roch�: for me, so went back to France where I went

470

00:17:32,217 --> 00:17:37,056

Sebastian Roch�: to this wonderful, you know, the best drama

471

00:17:37,096 --> 00:17:38,800

Sebastian Roch�: school in France though, the National

Sebastian Roch�: which is free, and they give you a

474

00:17:42,476 --> 00:17:42,937

Sebastian Roch�: scholarship.

475

00:17:43,158 --> 00:17:45,294

Sebastian Roch�: Because most of the most of you know,

476

00:17:45,816 --> 00:17:47,983

Sebastian Roch�: graduate studies in France are free

477

00:17:48,947 --> 00:17:50,633

Sebastian Roch�: actually, all graduate studies in France

478

00:17:50,673 --> 00:17:54,085

Sebastian Roch�: are free and but as soon as I graduated, my

479

00:17:54,186 --> 00:17:58,060

Sebastian Roch�: mind, my heart was in England or somewhere

480

00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,549

Sebastian Roch�: English speaking, and I was gonna move to

481

00:18:00,649 --> 00:18:04,120

Sebastian Roch�: England and find found myself deciding to

482

00:18:04,180 --> 00:18:07,209

Sebastian Roch�: go to New York, arrived in New York in 1992

483

00:18:07,230 --> 00:18:10,297

Sebastian Roch�: and never left, and here I am was theater

484

00:18:10,337 --> 00:18:10,758

Sebastian Roch�: and acting.

485

00:18:10,778 --> 00:18:14,173

Marc Preston: Was that the the the initial objective?

486

00:18:14,233 --> 00:18:15,557

Sebastian Roch�: I mean, yeah, brothers went into the whole

487

00:18:15,597 --> 00:18:17,673

Sebastian Roch�: maritime thing, but so it's always been

488

00:18:17,693 --> 00:18:19,143

Sebastian Roch�: that track it's always been theater and

489

00:18:19,244 --> 00:18:21,453

Sebastian Roch�: acting and actually when I went to the you

490

00:18:21,473 --> 00:18:24,280

Sebastian Roch�: know National Drama School, the French

491

00:18:24,361 --> 00:18:25,812

Sebastian Roch�: National Drama School of Acting, it was all

492

00:18:25,852 --> 00:18:26,574

Sebastian Roch�: about theater.

493

00:18:27,216 --> 00:18:28,560

Sebastian Roch�: Theater was my passion.

494

00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,095

Sebastian Roch�: You know, the, the great Shakespeare,

495

00:18:31,637 --> 00:18:35,888

Sebastian Roch�: molière, you know this is what I wanted to

496

00:18:35,949 --> 00:18:39,315

Sebastian Roch�: do Pinter, ibsen, stringberg, classical

497

00:18:39,375 --> 00:18:43,383

Sebastian Roch�: theater, and yeah, that that was my

498

00:18:43,423 --> 00:18:44,064

Sebastian Roch�: trajectory.

499

00:18:44,104 --> 00:18:45,776

Sebastian Roch�: And of course, you know, if you got into

500

00:18:45,856 --> 00:18:49,190

Sebastian Roch�: film or TV, that was the icing on the cake

501

00:18:49,230 --> 00:18:50,514

Sebastian Roch�: doing that.

503

00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,832

00:19:01,847 --> 00:19:03,992

508

00:19:04,032 --> 00:19:07,219

515

00:19:25,395 --> 00:19:28,061

516

00:19:29,011 --> 00:19:30,957

517

00:19:30,977 --> 00:19:33,432

519

00:19:36,522 --> 00:19:36,923

527

00:19:57,673 --> 00:19:59,163

Marc Preston: reason why I don't know if I would have the

528

00:19:59,244 --> 00:20:01,417

586

00:22:02,421 --> 00:22:04,890

Marc Preston: little bit of an investment of time to when

Sebastian Roch�: of person at the beginning and you realize

643

00:24:15,110 --> 00:24:16,734

00:25:03,433 --> 00:25:05,825

Marc Preston: started, has certainly taken on a whole new

669

00:25:06,567 --> 00:25:07,270

Marc Preston: kind of vibe.

670

00:25:07,330 --> 00:25:08,514

Marc Preston: You know streamers and everything.

671

00:25:08,846 --> 00:25:09,650

Marc Preston: Do you have a preference?

672

00:25:10,266 --> 00:25:11,090

Sebastian Roch�: I don't actually.

673

00:25:11,225 --> 00:25:15,793

Sebastian Roch�: For me, you know, i approach a role in

674

00:25:15,913 --> 00:25:18,959

Sebastian Roch�: exactly the same way, whether I'm on, you

675

00:25:18,979 --> 00:25:22,091

Sebastian Roch�: know, if we can call that, you know, i

676

00:25:22,131 --> 00:25:24,856

Sebastian Roch�: don't know how to whether you're on a film

677

00:25:25,017 --> 00:25:27,510

Sebastian Roch�: or on a TV set, for me I approach it

678

00:25:27,730 --> 00:25:28,653

Sebastian Roch�: exactly the same way.

679

00:25:29,585 --> 00:25:31,649

Sebastian Roch�: Same, i mean I approach it with the same

680

00:25:31,709 --> 00:25:39,126

Sebastian Roch�: enthusiasm and detail in research And

681

00:25:39,327 --> 00:25:41,371

Sebastian Roch�: responsibility as an actor and

682

00:25:41,451 --> 00:25:42,213

Sebastian Roch�: professionalism.

683

00:25:42,273 --> 00:25:43,877

Sebastian Roch�: I think that's really, really important.

684

00:25:44,885 --> 00:25:48,373

Sebastian Roch�: I have as much passion being on a stage as

685

00:25:48,453 --> 00:25:50,538

Sebastian Roch�: a movie set or a TV set.

686

00:25:50,945 --> 00:25:53,534

Sebastian Roch�: And now that TV has reached a sort of level

687

00:25:53,655 --> 00:25:56,545

Sebastian Roch�: of film because I truly believe that it has

688

00:25:56,705 --> 00:25:59,651

Sebastian Roch�: in the last five to six years with the

689

00:25:59,711 --> 00:26:03,078

Sebastian Roch�: advent of streamers, you know money now is

690

00:26:03,158 --> 00:26:06,991

Sebastian Roch�: poured into television where films can't

691

00:26:07,151 --> 00:26:10,217

Sebastian Roch�: actually compete because you can't finance

692

00:26:10,317 --> 00:26:11,299

Sebastian Roch�: certain kinds of movies.

693

00:26:11,505 --> 00:26:12,849

Sebastian Roch�: You wouldn't be able to make Man in High

694

00:26:12,869 --> 00:26:15,356

Sebastian Roch�: Castle as a film anymore financially.

695

00:26:15,705 --> 00:26:18,953

Marc Preston: You know the HBO show Entourage.

696

00:26:19,033 --> 00:26:20,617

Marc Preston: I was kind of rewatching it.

697

00:26:20,845 --> 00:26:22,048

Marc Preston: You know Jeremy Piven's character.

698

00:26:22,469 --> 00:26:24,934

Marc Preston: He plays the Ari Goldy agent and they're

699

00:26:25,075 --> 00:26:26,117

Marc Preston: slamming on TV.

700

00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:28,251

Marc Preston: This is 2008, 2009,.

701

00:26:28,271 --> 00:26:29,708

Marc Preston: To slam on TV, he's like no, it's going to

702

00:26:29,749 --> 00:26:30,391

Marc Preston: kill your career.

703

00:26:30,505 --> 00:26:32,714

Marc Preston: It's so funny how times have changed where

704

00:26:33,075 --> 00:26:35,505

Marc Preston: Case and Point Harrison Ford you know big

705

00:26:35,605 --> 00:26:37,715

Marc Preston: marquee movie star TV, you know.

706

00:26:37,735 --> 00:26:39,864

Marc Preston: So there's that fluidity, you know you can

707

00:26:39,884 --> 00:26:41,490

Marc Preston: go back and forth and nobody cares anymore,

708

00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:42,613

Marc Preston: which is kind of, you know.

709

00:26:43,265 --> 00:26:45,016

Sebastian Roch�: But it has to do with the writing, because

710

00:26:45,036 --> 00:26:46,183

Sebastian Roch�: you know, now that we're talking about

711

00:26:46,223 --> 00:26:49,209

Sebastian Roch�: Harrison Ford and him taking on 1923, which

712

00:26:49,329 --> 00:26:53,154

Sebastian Roch�: is, you know, within the Yellowstone

713

00:26:53,775 --> 00:26:58,388

Sebastian Roch�: universe you know we have to talk about

714

00:26:58,428 --> 00:26:59,212

Sebastian Roch�: Taylor Sheridan.

715

00:27:01,770 --> 00:27:03,213

Sebastian Roch�: This is someone I've been wanting to work

716

00:27:03,294 --> 00:27:07,669

Sebastian Roch�: with for so long, you know, of course, when

717

00:27:07,730 --> 00:27:09,613

Sebastian Roch�: I saw Sicario, i thought to myself who

718

00:27:09,713 --> 00:27:12,599

Sebastian Roch�: wrote this absolutely brilliant script?

719

00:27:12,825 --> 00:27:15,212

Sebastian Roch�: And from that moment on I thought this guy

720

00:27:15,328 --> 00:27:17,474

Sebastian Roch�: is a writer to follow, you know, and I

721

00:27:17,589 --> 00:27:20,291

Sebastian Roch�: watched Helen Highwater, i saw Wind River,

722

00:27:20,331 --> 00:27:21,839

Sebastian Roch�: which he directed, and then I started

723

00:27:21,859 --> 00:27:23,105

Sebastian Roch�: watching Yellowstone.

724

00:27:23,165 --> 00:27:26,174

Sebastian Roch�: I've seen every single episode, every

725

00:27:26,194 --> 00:27:26,856

Sebastian Roch�: single season.

726

00:27:27,105 --> 00:27:29,185

Sebastian Roch�: Then I watched 1883.

727

00:27:29,445 --> 00:27:31,991

Sebastian Roch�: And, you know, i think that he attracts

728

00:27:32,051 --> 00:27:34,236

Sebastian Roch�: these stars because of the excellence of

729

00:27:34,276 --> 00:27:37,188

Sebastian Roch�: his writing And I really feel that actors

730

00:27:37,969 --> 00:27:41,815

Sebastian Roch�: respond to his work, because he truly

731

00:27:41,955 --> 00:27:44,660

Sebastian Roch�: writes incredibly beautifully for actors.

732

00:27:46,309 --> 00:27:48,216

Marc Preston: And it's very unique in the way he builds

733

00:27:48,236 --> 00:27:48,416

Marc Preston: this.

734

00:27:48,477 --> 00:27:51,186

Marc Preston: Benicio Del Toro's character in Sicario is

735

00:27:51,206 --> 00:27:54,054

Marc Preston: just like when you don't know how to feel

736

00:27:54,114 --> 00:27:54,816

Marc Preston: about a character.

737

00:27:55,157 --> 00:27:57,428

Marc Preston: It's like, okay, he's bad, but I really

738

00:27:57,468 --> 00:27:58,471

Marc Preston: want him to succeed, you know.

739

00:27:58,531 --> 00:28:00,597

Marc Preston: So that's when that conflict happens.

740

00:28:00,946 --> 00:28:02,812

Marc Preston: I think that's masterful writing when you

741

00:28:02,852 --> 00:28:04,685

Marc Preston: can do that, and great acting, of course, i

742

00:28:04,726 --> 00:28:05,308

Marc Preston: totally agree.

743

00:28:05,925 --> 00:28:08,328

Sebastian Roch�: He manages to take characters that could be

744

00:28:08,649 --> 00:28:15,660

Sebastian Roch�: of dubious origin or of of, let's say, a

745

00:28:16,521 --> 00:28:20,129

Sebastian Roch�: criminal character, and he manages to turn

746

00:28:20,209 --> 00:28:20,249

Sebastian Roch�: it.

747

00:28:20,355 --> 00:28:22,360

Sebastian Roch�: He manages to make them human, and that's

748

00:28:22,420 --> 00:28:24,625

Sebastian Roch�: what I think is incredibly rich in his

749

00:28:24,745 --> 00:28:25,126

Sebastian Roch�: universe.

750

00:28:26,075 --> 00:28:27,740

Sebastian Roch�: That's why Yellowstone is such a success.

751

00:28:36,705 --> 00:28:38,026

Sebastian Roch�: Some people label it as a conservative show,

752

00:28:38,187 --> 00:28:40,830

Sebastian Roch�: but it couldn't be more away from the truth.

753

00:28:41,615 --> 00:28:43,979

Sebastian Roch�: When you see the subjects this is someone

754

00:28:43,999 --> 00:28:46,964

Sebastian Roch�: who's writing about the Native American

755

00:28:47,025 --> 00:28:52,423

Sebastian Roch�: experience In 1923 takes it to a whole new

756

00:28:52,483 --> 00:28:52,744

Sebastian Roch�: level.

757

00:28:54,898 --> 00:28:57,522

Sebastian Roch�: We're going to see some subjects that are

758

00:28:57,582 --> 00:29:01,049

Sebastian Roch�: very important and that need to be told.

759

00:29:01,836 --> 00:29:04,887

Sebastian Roch�: I am part of that subject.

760

00:29:04,947 --> 00:29:08,341

Sebastian Roch�: Actually, i play one of the most disturbing

761

00:29:08,401 --> 00:29:09,443

Sebastian Roch�: characters I've ever played.

762

00:29:09,683 --> 00:29:12,148

Sebastian Roch�: That brings joy to me.

763

00:29:13,877 --> 00:29:15,842

Marc Preston: Any time I speak with somebody and they're

764

00:29:15,862 --> 00:29:16,884

Marc Preston: going to be the disturbing.

765

00:29:16,904 --> 00:29:20,120

Marc Preston: Going back to the man on the high castles,

766

00:29:20,581 --> 00:29:22,005

Marc Preston: i'm Jewish and I'm rooting for some of the

767

00:29:22,045 --> 00:29:23,517

Marc Preston: nuts because you want them to have that

768

00:29:23,557 --> 00:29:24,239

Marc Preston: redeeming moment.

769

00:29:27,736 --> 00:29:29,262

Marc Preston: It's funny you mentioned Taylor Sheridan

770

00:29:29,282 --> 00:29:31,028

Marc Preston: because I was speaking with La Monaca

771

00:29:31,088 --> 00:29:33,035

Marc Preston: Garada with his film on 1883.

772

00:29:33,276 --> 00:29:35,710

Sebastian Roch�: It was wonderful on 1883.

773

00:29:37,036 --> 00:29:39,121

Marc Preston: I told him I want to see a prequel of just

774

00:29:39,241 --> 00:29:40,163

Marc Preston: you and Sam Elliott.

775

00:29:42,415 --> 00:29:43,899

Marc Preston: I want to see how you all got together.

776

00:29:47,375 --> 00:29:49,101

Marc Preston: I was watching it with my son and I just

777

00:29:49,322 --> 00:29:49,864

Marc Preston: loved that show.

778

00:29:52,981 --> 00:29:55,225

Marc Preston: When I was announced I was like what is

779

00:29:55,286 --> 00:29:56,228

Marc Preston: this going to be?

780

00:29:56,755 --> 00:29:58,203

Marc Preston: I'm kind of doing the math and I'm trying

781

00:29:58,223 --> 00:30:00,234

Marc Preston: to cast it in my head who's going to be

782

00:30:00,274 --> 00:30:00,696

Marc Preston: doing what?

783

00:30:03,517 --> 00:30:06,123

Marc Preston: To have a writer create all that?

784

00:30:10,659 --> 00:30:12,543

Sebastian Roch�: Just the fact that Harrison Ford and Helen

785

00:30:12,563 --> 00:30:14,006

Sebastian Roch�: Mirren boarded that show.

786

00:30:15,055 --> 00:30:17,001

Sebastian Roch�: You should see the array of character

787

00:30:17,082 --> 00:30:17,824

Sebastian Roch�: actors that are on it.

788

00:30:18,115 --> 00:30:20,019

Sebastian Roch�: We're talking about Timothy Dalton, james

789

00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:25,269

Sebastian Roch�: Badgedale, brian Garrity, mali Shelton and

790

00:30:25,295 --> 00:30:27,643

Sebastian Roch�: these wonderful new actors coming up Amin

791

00:30:27,683 --> 00:30:31,235

Sebastian Roch�: Anieves and Michelle Randolph, and Darren

792

00:30:31,355 --> 00:30:33,621

Sebastian Roch�: Mann and Brandon Sklenar.

793

00:30:33,721 --> 00:30:37,251

Sebastian Roch�: And all these actors who the universe is

794

00:30:37,451 --> 00:30:38,494

Sebastian Roch�: beyond anything.

795

00:30:38,754 --> 00:30:39,638

Sebastian Roch�: I read on a page.

796

00:30:40,155 --> 00:30:43,144

Sebastian Roch�: When I got the scripts I could not put them

797

00:30:43,205 --> 00:30:43,345

Sebastian Roch�: down.

798

00:30:43,435 --> 00:30:45,119

Sebastian Roch�: It's one of the first times where I

799

00:30:45,179 --> 00:30:47,866

Sebastian Roch�: basically was begging to get the new

800

00:30:47,926 --> 00:30:48,427

Sebastian Roch�: episodes.

801

00:30:49,156 --> 00:30:51,200

Sebastian Roch�: I'm telling you, this is a cross between

802

00:30:51,961 --> 00:30:55,528

Sebastian Roch�: and I saw the first episode and I was blown

803

00:30:55,608 --> 00:30:55,928

Sebastian Roch�: away.

804

00:30:56,475 --> 00:30:59,303

Sebastian Roch�: I thought to myself yes, this is exactly

805

00:30:59,343 --> 00:31:00,145

Sebastian Roch�: what I envisioned.

806

00:31:00,835 --> 00:31:03,041

Sebastian Roch�: People are not prepared for the scope and

807

00:31:03,081 --> 00:31:04,646

Sebastian Roch�: the epic proportion.

808

00:31:04,875 --> 00:31:05,698

Sebastian Roch�: It's not because I'm in it.

809

00:31:06,675 --> 00:31:08,422

Sebastian Roch�: It's an incredible show.

810

00:31:08,895 --> 00:31:09,356

Sebastian Roch�: It really is.

811

00:31:09,937 --> 00:31:12,382

Sebastian Roch�: It's as if you're going to be swept up in a

812

00:31:12,422 --> 00:31:16,717

Sebastian Roch�: sort of it's out of Africa meets legends of

813

00:31:16,738 --> 00:31:18,062

Sebastian Roch�: the fall meets Yellowstone.

814

00:31:18,675 --> 00:31:19,038

Sebastian Roch�: It's really.

815

00:31:20,025 --> 00:31:21,455

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, i thought I was reading Hemingway.

816

00:31:21,535 --> 00:31:22,698

Sebastian Roch�: I thought I was reading Snows of

817

00:31:22,718 --> 00:31:23,661

Sebastian Roch�: Kilimanjaro.

818

00:31:23,841 --> 00:31:26,107

Sebastian Roch�: For Whom the Bell Tolls, the Sun Also Rises.

819

00:31:26,255 --> 00:31:27,078

Sebastian Roch�: All mixed together.

820

00:31:28,295 --> 00:31:29,620

Sebastian Roch�: It was reMarcable.

821

00:31:30,957 --> 00:31:34,430

Marc Preston: It's a little more, or it's 1883, this is

822

00:31:34,510 --> 00:31:35,995

Marc Preston: not meaning to dimension at all, but it's

823

00:31:36,115 --> 00:31:37,341

Marc Preston: not one specific journey.

824

00:31:37,575 --> 00:31:39,619

Marc Preston: It seems like there's more of an epic, kind

825

00:31:39,679 --> 00:31:40,942

Marc Preston: of like a.

826

00:31:40,982 --> 00:31:42,044

Marc Preston: There's a lot of angles to it.

827

00:31:44,435 --> 00:31:45,799

Marc Preston: Like you mentioned, James Badgerdale, he's

828

00:31:45,819 --> 00:31:47,163

Marc Preston: one of those guys I always love seeing show

829

00:31:47,204 --> 00:31:47,264

Marc Preston: up.

830

00:31:48,215 --> 00:31:49,419

Marc Preston: Everything he's done, he's knocking it out

831

00:31:49,439 --> 00:31:49,760

Marc Preston: of the park.

832

00:31:51,635 --> 00:31:52,797

Marc Preston: These, like yourself, it's like they're

833

00:31:52,817 --> 00:31:53,138

Marc Preston: people.

834

00:31:53,538 --> 00:31:58,888

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, it was actually a short interaction,

843

00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:16,180

Sebastian Roch�: but it was really good.

00:32:34,427 --> 00:32:35,429

Marc Preston: i'm going to go and be here.

853

00:32:36,198 --> 00:32:37,262

Marc Preston: Let's say I was supposed to New York.

854

00:32:37,856 --> 00:32:40,301

Marc Preston: You just want to kind of flavor taste all

855

00:32:40,321 --> 00:32:42,605

Marc Preston: the flavor of the different big media

856

00:32:42,645 --> 00:32:43,487

Marc Preston: Marcets in the US.

857

00:32:43,807 --> 00:32:47,020

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, i think it was also more than that.

858

00:32:47,141 --> 00:32:49,226

Sebastian Roch�: It was more of a time in my life when I

859

00:32:49,286 --> 00:32:49,527

Sebastian Roch�: needed.

860

00:32:49,695 --> 00:32:52,261

Sebastian Roch�: I was in a period of transition due to, you

861

00:32:52,301 --> 00:32:54,065

Sebastian Roch�: know, different personal things happening

862

00:32:54,106 --> 00:32:57,403

Sebastian Roch�: in my life Where, you know, I'd moved

863

00:32:57,463 --> 00:33:00,092

Sebastian Roch�: upstate New York, i'd built, i'd renovated

864

00:33:00,132 --> 00:33:03,663

Sebastian Roch�: this house for five years, my marriage was

865

00:33:03,764 --> 00:33:06,542

Sebastian Roch�: ending All these, i got a show in LA.

866

00:33:07,375 --> 00:33:10,006

Sebastian Roch�: All these factors happened at the same time

867

00:33:10,247 --> 00:33:12,437

Sebastian Roch�: and I felt I needed transition, i needed

868

00:33:12,537 --> 00:33:13,220

Sebastian Roch�: something new.

869

00:33:14,475 --> 00:33:17,682

Sebastian Roch�: And in 2006, i was offered a job on a show

870

00:33:18,603 --> 00:33:24,574

Sebastian Roch�: and I put my house for sale and it went

871

00:33:24,715 --> 00:33:25,316

Sebastian Roch�: very well.

872

00:33:25,416 --> 00:33:27,642

Sebastian Roch�: And then suddenly I thought to myself now

873

00:33:27,722 --> 00:33:29,166

Sebastian Roch�: is the time for me to change.

874

00:33:30,016 --> 00:33:32,196

Sebastian Roch�: I've spent 15 years in New York, i've done

875

00:33:32,477 --> 00:33:36,699

Sebastian Roch�: all I needed to do in New York And, yes, i

876

00:33:36,819 --> 00:33:38,522

Sebastian Roch�: felt that there was new opportunity.

877

00:33:38,602 --> 00:33:40,526

Sebastian Roch�: That was, you know, a new energy.

878

00:33:40,686 --> 00:33:42,196

Sebastian Roch�: Actually, more than opportunity, it was all

879

00:33:42,216 --> 00:33:42,778

Sebastian Roch�: about energy.

880

00:33:44,555 --> 00:33:46,002

Sebastian Roch�: Something in the air told me that I needed

881

00:33:46,022 --> 00:33:46,624

Sebastian Roch�: to go west.

882

00:33:46,845 --> 00:33:49,115

Sebastian Roch�: You know, as one of these immigrants who

883

00:33:49,135 --> 00:33:52,744

Sebastian Roch�: was moving west, i was also moving west to

884

00:33:52,804 --> 00:33:53,847

Sebastian Roch�: seek new opportunity.

885

00:33:54,095 --> 00:34:00,228

Sebastian Roch�: It was, and my instinct was 100% right.

886

00:34:00,755 --> 00:34:03,789

Sebastian Roch�: I moved here, i bought a new house, a new

887

00:34:03,917 --> 00:34:06,887

Sebastian Roch�: environment, which was really vital for me

888

00:34:07,096 --> 00:34:08,943

Sebastian Roch�: to have a new home.

889

00:34:10,297 --> 00:34:11,981

Marc Preston: Now did you land in Venice originally, or

890

00:34:12,021 --> 00:34:13,706

Marc Preston: did you find your way there over the years?

891

00:34:14,715 --> 00:34:17,167

Sebastian Roch�: Over the years I'd house sat for people and

892

00:34:17,247 --> 00:34:18,875

Sebastian Roch�: been to Venice many times and I thought to

893

00:34:20,459 --> 00:34:22,564

Sebastian Roch�: myself this is the closest that I can

894

00:34:22,684 --> 00:34:23,285

Sebastian Roch�: reproduce.

895

00:34:25,177 --> 00:34:28,603

Sebastian Roch�: It felt like the New York of LA for me as

896

00:34:28,664 --> 00:34:32,637

Sebastian Roch�: close as I could anyway, And also the

897

00:34:32,698 --> 00:34:34,200

Sebastian Roch�: geographical location.

898

00:34:34,521 --> 00:34:36,785

Sebastian Roch�: The air was a little purer, it was closer

899

00:34:36,826 --> 00:34:37,326

Sebastian Roch�: to the sea.

900

00:34:38,755 --> 00:34:41,137

Sebastian Roch�: It just appealed to me and also luck would

901

00:34:41,222 --> 00:34:43,230

Sebastian Roch�: have it that a friend of mine was in real

902

00:34:43,270 --> 00:34:45,492

Sebastian Roch�: estate and brought me to this house.

903

00:34:45,612 --> 00:34:48,595

Sebastian Roch�: And it's as if the house chose me and I put

904

00:34:48,635 --> 00:34:51,600

Sebastian Roch�: a bit on the house, got it instantly,

905

00:34:51,660 --> 00:34:54,184

Sebastian Roch�: before it was on the Marcet and, having

906

00:34:54,325 --> 00:34:58,979

Sebastian Roch�: sold my house well previously, I managed to

907

00:34:59,019 --> 00:35:00,883

Sebastian Roch�: make a bid, got the house and this was

908

00:35:00,903 --> 00:35:02,847

Sebastian Roch�: going to become my universe.

909

00:35:03,635 --> 00:35:06,662

Sebastian Roch�: It's as if everything happened perfectly at

910

00:35:06,702 --> 00:35:07,324

Sebastian Roch�: the same time.

911

00:35:09,235 --> 00:35:10,577

Sebastian Roch�: And I've been here since, you know, and

912

00:35:10,638 --> 00:35:15,347

Sebastian Roch�: I've actually borne the fruits of being

913

00:35:15,407 --> 00:35:18,719

Sebastian Roch�: here, of following my bliss, following my

914

00:35:18,859 --> 00:35:23,127

Sebastian Roch�: instinct, and it really led me to bettering

915

00:35:23,167 --> 00:35:26,839

Sebastian Roch�: my career, bettering my life, meeting my

916

00:35:26,899 --> 00:35:31,047

Sebastian Roch�: future wife here and being in a good place

917

00:35:31,588 --> 00:35:32,049

Sebastian Roch�: at the moment.

918

00:35:32,515 --> 00:35:33,800

Sebastian Roch�: Well do you have any kids?

919

00:35:34,121 --> 00:35:36,199

Sebastian Roch�: We don't have kids, no, you have any pets

920

00:35:36,219 --> 00:35:36,440

Sebastian Roch�: though.

921

00:35:37,055 --> 00:35:41,697

Sebastian Roch�: We have a dog that we love very much, Yeah,

922

00:35:41,738 --> 00:35:45,600

Sebastian Roch�: that we absolutely adore, And we decided,

923

00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,927

Sebastian Roch�: yeah, we haven't actually brought up the

924

00:35:48,987 --> 00:35:49,748

Sebastian Roch�: idea of kids yet.

925

00:35:50,396 --> 00:35:54,985

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, it's something that has not been.

926

00:35:55,466 --> 00:35:56,829

Sebastian Roch�: you know, to go into a personal mind.

927

00:35:56,955 --> 00:35:59,821

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, it's something that I haven't.

928

00:36:01,645 --> 00:36:03,629

Sebastian Roch�: what's the word that I could say?

929

00:36:04,217 --> 00:36:06,785

Sebastian Roch�: Yeah, we haven't talked about it yet.

930

00:36:06,875 --> 00:36:08,622

Sebastian Roch�: It could happen, but it hasn't.

931

00:36:09,438 --> 00:36:10,625

Marc Preston: Well then I will tell you they're not a

932

00:36:10,665 --> 00:36:11,349

Marc Preston: cheap investment.

933

00:36:11,631 --> 00:36:12,295

Marc Preston: No, i'm just kidding.

934

00:36:13,698 --> 00:36:16,103

Sebastian Roch�: I know in America that is yeah, because in

935

00:36:16,183 --> 00:36:18,949

Sebastian Roch�: Europe everything's free but, in America

936

00:36:19,135 --> 00:36:19,758

Sebastian Roch�: it's expensive.

937

00:36:19,798 --> 00:36:23,140

Marc Preston: yeah, yeah one of the things I loved living

938

00:36:23,241 --> 00:36:25,406

Marc Preston: in Southern California was I had a golden

939

00:36:25,446 --> 00:36:25,887

Marc Preston: retriever.

940

00:36:25,975 --> 00:36:28,100

Marc Preston: I haven't one now, but his predecessor and

941

00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,325

Marc Preston: I would spend much time on the beach, which

942

00:36:30,386 --> 00:36:30,847

Marc Preston: I have enjoyed.

943

00:36:31,697 --> 00:36:32,982

Sebastian Roch�: Yes, we love to do that, yeah.

944

00:36:33,736 --> 00:36:34,878

Marc Preston: Now kind of moving forward.

945

00:36:34,978 --> 00:36:39,667

Marc Preston: Okay, there's one show I need to watch is

946

00:36:39,707 --> 00:36:40,649

Marc Preston: the Vampire Diaries.

947

00:36:40,815 --> 00:36:41,959

Marc Preston: You did a little swing on that.

948

00:36:43,615 --> 00:36:45,701

Marc Preston: And now all my daughter's little teenage

949

00:36:45,761 --> 00:36:46,102

Marc Preston: friends.

950

00:36:46,483 --> 00:36:47,365

Marc Preston: They're picking up on it.

951

00:36:47,405 --> 00:36:49,239

Marc Preston: Now, you know and I'm sure Ian Somerhalder

952

00:36:49,259 --> 00:36:51,438

Marc Preston: has nothing to do with it He's all these

953

00:36:51,458 --> 00:36:52,160

Marc Preston: teenage girls.

954

00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,020

Marc Preston: You know, i look at that and I look at

955

00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:55,602

Marc Preston: another.

956

00:36:55,722 --> 00:36:56,785

Marc Preston: There's a couple of things you've done.

957

00:36:56,856 --> 00:36:57,905

Marc Preston: I haven't seen the young pope.

958

00:36:58,026 --> 00:36:58,935

Marc Preston: I still want to see that.

959

00:36:58,955 --> 00:37:00,541

Marc Preston: Yeah, that's a very interesting show.

960

00:37:01,155 --> 00:37:03,742

Marc Preston: But you've had a great eclectic mix of

961

00:37:04,564 --> 00:37:05,426

Marc Preston: stuff you've done.

962

00:37:06,035 --> 00:37:08,507

Marc Preston: The question is, is that an active choice,

963

00:37:08,527 --> 00:37:10,034

Marc Preston: or are you always looking for something

964

00:37:10,094 --> 00:37:10,235

Marc Preston: that's?

965

00:37:11,542 --> 00:37:11,803

Announcer: going to be.

966

00:37:11,823 --> 00:37:12,969

Marc Preston: I want to say a challenge, but something

967

00:37:12,989 --> 00:37:13,813

Marc Preston: you haven't done before.

968

00:37:13,994 --> 00:37:15,380

Marc Preston: Or is it just luck of the draw?

969

00:37:16,355 --> 00:37:17,520

Sebastian Roch�: I think it was luck of the draw.

970

00:37:17,561 --> 00:37:20,543

Sebastian Roch�: Then, you know, i decided to come to LA.

971

00:37:21,075 --> 00:37:22,298

Sebastian Roch�: There was a period where I was on this

972

00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:28,735

Sebastian Roch�: other show and then I yes, at the same time,

973

00:37:28,755 --> 00:37:32,542

Sebastian Roch�: you know, came Fringe, supernatural, the

974

00:37:32,582 --> 00:37:35,106

Sebastian Roch�: Vampire Diaries and the spin-off of the

975

00:37:35,127 --> 00:37:38,038

Sebastian Roch�: Vampire Diaries, the original, so nearly at

976

00:37:38,078 --> 00:37:40,222

Sebastian Roch�: the same time all these shows sort of

977

00:37:41,504 --> 00:37:45,039

Sebastian Roch�: converged into my life And it was the luck

978

00:37:45,059 --> 00:37:45,882

Sebastian Roch�: of the draw, really.

979

00:37:46,035 --> 00:37:48,100

Sebastian Roch�: I was shooting Fringe, i remember, and
