00:00The thing that works is that you be you and that's the thing that people end up

00:05recognizing and falling in love with.

00:18Yep, I am your cool Sleddy Daddy.

00:30I am a Chilean, Texan, California, New Yorker. It sort of turned me into

00:43somebody who can be anywhere.

00:47Part of my earliest memories of childhood is going to the movies with my dad, literally

01:01two, three a week since I was a young kid. So that's where the fantasy kind of started.

01:17Oh wow, sorry. No, I wasn't looking. Something that's resurfaced is a lot of appearances

01:32that you've done on TV shows. Sarah Michelle Gellar posted about you being on Buffy. Sarah

01:36Michelle Gellar posted about me? Yes. I need to get on the world wide web.

01:57There's a lot of nostalgia for the moments of getting a guest starring or episodic role

02:04on some of these shows that felt life-changing or at least life-saving as far as Rent was

02:11concerned in certain instances.

02:25Did you enjoy having the most gruesome death in the history of Game of Thrones, which is

02:28saying something? It's saying a lot. I loved it. It's an honor.

02:46I think that there's a fascination to the stranger than fiction aspect of it. The human

02:51stories that can be told, the unexpected heroism and just the largeness of these kinds of stories.

02:59The other day, a guy stopped me on the street. So the guy's like, just do the Mando voice.

03:14But the Mando voice is like a bedroom voice. Without the mask, it just sounds porny.

03:29I grew up watching Nicolas Cage movies. I really did. I probably know more about Nicolas

03:50Cage than the guys that wrote the movie. I think there were even some instances where

03:54I knew more about a movie Nick made than he did.

04:08I just don't understand. Why do you make sparkly, fast, romantic montages of me every single day? Like this.

04:18Do you ever look at Instagram accounts devoted to you being a heartthrob when you're feeling down?

04:23Yes, I do.

04:42What, if anything, did you take from set?

04:46Props.

04:48Or trauma?

04:49Trauma.

04:50I mean, emotionally, I can tell you a lot of things that I took. But physically, I don't

04:55think I took any props.

04:56You didn't steal anything?

04:57No. I really want a knife.

04:59I didn't take anything. Some gray hair.

05:02This is natural now.

05:03I've never seen a career like this.

05:04I have nothing to do with it.

05:06Yes, you do! How do you pick shows that are going to be giant hits?
