00:00And yeah, the concept is really interesting, but also in Canada, it's a necessity.
00:07We have such a large country and we do have, you know, universal health care for in the country.
00:13So if you have people that are, you know, in these rugged communities, they still need health services.
00:19So that's sort of how our show comes into play, where pilots, which I am on the show,
00:25we would fly up and bring nurses and then treat people there or bring them back down to the major cities to be treated.
00:32So as much as it's kind of a crazy concept in probably a lot of countries that are much smaller,
00:38maybe that wouldn't make sense, but in Canada is so vast that it's kind of a nice,
00:42interesting sort of side of things that we don't always get to see, but it's very true in Canada.
00:49You mentioned that about the reality in terms of that and concept.
00:53I know sometimes actors, especially when they play period pieces, they often like to do very much their research,
01:00research into the genre, research into the decade, the customs, to do it sort of justice,
01:06to sort of live the role, to get in sort of character.
01:09But sometimes when you're playing a sort of piece that is mirrored in reality and such,
01:14do you almost like to go out and meet the real life sort of person that is doing these jobs,
01:19to get an influence, to get an insight of what it might take in their daily routines,
01:24to pick up one or two tricks along the way that you can use it?
01:28Did anyone come in alongside to give you a sort of guidance in terms of that or to tell you their real life story?
01:34Yeah, well, we sort of have multiple consultants on the show because one aspect of it is the flying,
01:41which is what I do.
01:42And then obviously there's the huge medical component.
01:44So at the beginning of the season, I'll speak for the pilots because I didn't do the medical training.
01:49But yeah, Julie, who is the showrunner, I believe it's her brother-in-law, is actually a pilot.
01:57And her brother-in-law and her sister were sort of the idea for the show.
02:04They fell in love working up north and this type of thing.
02:06So we had him to kind of show us the basics.
02:12Obviously, you know, we're not actually flying planes, you know, spoiler.
02:16But obviously you want to look like you know what you're doing.
02:19And there's so much to sort of grasp the concept of and lingo.
02:24So, yeah, we would sit down and we didn't actually get to do a flight simulator,
02:27but he did have sort of a mock-up of the cockpit.
02:33And we would sit there and we would ask questions.
02:35Okay, so the line says, I'm trimming the flap.
02:38Well, where would that be on the plane that we have?
02:40And he would show us little things.
02:41So, yeah, you want to have some level of realism.
02:45I'm not over the top with some of that detail because, to be honest with you, they're seeing this much.
02:52So it's like you want to know to generally know where to look and whatever.
02:55But, yeah, obviously certain actors get way into the specifics of their character.
03:01We were speaking a little bit earlier, I think, before we started recording, that we'd done an interview before.
03:07In 2018, I was working on a show where I was flying a spaceship.
03:10So I feel like I'm bringing some sort of experience to the show at that point with flying.
03:16I suppose actors as well, they sort of engross themselves, they learn their lines.
03:20But sometimes remembering facts and jargon and code, it's a very difficult sort of concept because you're trying to think it, memorise it in your head.
03:30But as you're memorising it, you're trying to act it out as well.
03:34Is that sometimes sort of challenging?
03:36Some characters love to do improv, just go with the sort of flow.
03:40Actors, I mean, love to do improv, go with the sort of flow and feel that sort of chemistry.
03:44But when you're learning sort of real technical sort of stuff as well, is that a challenge in one way to memorise it and then put the emotion with it as well?
03:54It is. And the most difficult thing for me or to do in these scenarios is a lot of the times when the jargon's coming out, it's in these very heightened situations.
04:05It's a panic. There's a fire in the cockpit.
04:08So it's about being able to deliver the lines in a heightened state while still remembering all the jargon and all the things.
04:16So, I mean, to me, it's about repetition.
04:18You just go over it over and over and over again, especially the jargony stuff so that it just comes out as if it's second nature.
04:26So in one sense, it's new and you're not really doing it.
04:30But if anything, you go over it enough times, it starts to become second nature.
04:34So I think that's the idea sometimes is just to really get it drilled in there so you're not looking for it.
04:39I'll use a sporting analogy now.
04:41They always say in sports, sometimes it's the 12th man of the team, the 12th player,
04:46that extra sort of factor that you sort of don't see.
04:49But the sort of the 12th man, the extra player of SkyMed is the visual backgrounds,
04:54the stunning sort of landscape that you get to see in northern Canada as well.
05:00In terms of how much is that offshoot location?
05:03Well, I know you know the landscape quite well.
05:05How much is it in terms of how much can you heighten the factor as an actor when you're there on these sorts of locations?
05:14And there's not a green screen camera and there's not sort of make-belief in terms of that?
05:20Yeah, we're very fortunate in Canada with beautiful countryside.
05:25And it's amazing when we use it.
05:27And there's a lot of shows that are set in cities or whatever.
05:29But yeah, the more rural, well, it's not even rural.
05:32I mean, we're talking wilderness, right, when we get up there.
05:34But we shoot the show in a town called North Bay, which is about three and a half hours,
05:40four hours drive straight north from Toronto, so away from the hub.
05:45So we're quite a ways out there.
05:47We're surrounded by lakes, beautiful forests.
05:49It's not exactly the wild, wild wilderness of some.
05:52Some of the visuals that they get, I think, are from even farther up north to make it look even remoter than it really is.
06:00But that's all Canada.
06:02And I think that using it, and a lot of people around the world have been, I think, really interested in the show,
06:08not just because of the subject matter, but because of the beauty of it.
06:12You know, there's people, Brazil, South Africa, that have just been like, wow, Canada is so beautiful.
06:19And I'm like, oh, yeah, it is.
06:20But you're used to it.
06:21You know, we all like to travel and see different things, something that's a little more unique to our perspective.
06:27But I think that they do a great job of showcasing how beautiful some of the wilderness in Canada is.
06:33Yeah.
06:33And Aaron, obviously, in terms of this sort of series, we saw the drama in season two, the fight for survival,
06:40the sort of plane crash as well.
06:43Season three now, are we sort of nitty gritty, sort of intermashing connections, relationships,
06:49or do we still get just one or two great sort of survivor stories, great, big, massive sort of incidents,
06:56or are we very much in grasp with the day-to-day life of these characters?
07:03Well, we'll definitely, there's, you know, cases every week, every show that we're going through,
07:09but there's also a much bigger piece this year.
07:13Where something very, very big happens in the first episode, and it sort of ripples throughout the season.
07:21It shapes the rest of the season in a really major way for our entire team, specifically one character,
07:26which I won't give away.
07:27I don't like to give away spoilers, but it really does change the dynamic of the show,
07:32and all of the characters are sort of dealing with this big change throughout the show.
07:38So, yeah, there's going to be lots of little cases and lots of relationships, people hooking up,
07:43and that's the way the show goes.
07:46But there's also something that I think really grounds it in a pretty amazing way
07:51and allows the characters and the actors to really shine this season.
07:54So I think if you're a fan of the show, season three is a great season.
07:59And Aaron, before we come on air, you mentioned another exciting project
08:03that is just around the corner as well that you're involved in.
08:06You might give us the heads up on that.
08:09Yeah.
08:11Season three of, is it season three?
08:14Yes, it is, of Ginny in Georgia, which is a very popular Netflix show.
08:17It is being released, I believe it's June 5th, and I'm involved with that as well in a pretty good capacity.
08:24We're actually shooting both shows at the same time,
08:26and SkyMed was really nice to let me zip off and go do some Ginny in Georgia when it made sense.
08:32So, yeah, I'm very fortunate to have two really great shows coming out within a month of each other.
08:39And how exciting is that for an actor to walk into, dare I say,
08:45to come into a successful show, a popular show, that's not in its infancy,
08:50that is well established at this stage as well.
08:54You almost feel that there's greater expectations in terms of the long-term prosperity.
08:59Sometimes these sort of pilot sort of series that are given a certain seven or eight episodes,
09:06they have to meet certain criteria, certain numbers, if they start to get renewed as an actor.
09:12You're almost rolling the dice, dare I say, hoping that it gets renewed and picked up and like.
09:18But when you walk into a successful show like Ginny in Georgia,
09:21it must give you a great balance that, right, I'm here in SkyMed, this is season three,
09:25coming on to a new series now that is already established as well.
09:31It must be a good sense in terms of the longevity of the series, dare I say.
09:39Yeah, I mean, obviously it's a great feeling to be working on two great things.
09:45But yeah, when you come on to something new, you always want to, you know,
09:49you hope that you can make it better, you hope you're bringing something to it
09:52that will, again, give it more longevity and add to it.
09:55But sometimes you just have to go do your thing.
09:58You can't worry about who, like, so much of that aspect of it is out of our control.
10:04So I try not to think about that stuff too much.
10:06I try and just go in and do my best job.
10:08And I am a confident actor.
10:10Like when I go into something, I am, I do feel I'm like, okay, I'm going to do my best.
10:14I'm going to try and add to this.
10:15So that's all you can do.
10:16The rest of it is sort of out in the air.
10:20You can't really put a finger on it.
10:21So you do what you can do.
10:23And the rest is up to the powers that be.
10:26And just one quick question before we wrap up.
10:30You mentioned the shooting Ginny in Georgia.
10:34You mentioned SkyMed in terms of projects that are based in Canada.
10:38We see a good lot of Toronto, Greater Vancouver.
10:43You mentioned as well Winnipeg as well.
10:45Are you very much sort of established in Canada now in terms of doing work?
10:50If an exciting project or a movie came along your way, maybe overseas, if the role was exciting, would you consider it?
10:58Or is it much you think Canada you're in?
11:01I mean, my home is here.
11:03I have two small children.
11:04So I like to work at home at this point in my career.
11:08When I was younger, 20, send me wherever.
11:10Take me.
11:11You know, that was exciting.
11:12You get to go work in a different city or a different country.
11:14You get to really immerse yourself in the project and with the people you're working with because you're not at home.
11:19Everybody's sort of a family in those regards.
11:21But at this point in my life, I mean, I will always have a great opportunity.
11:24I never pass up a great opportunity.
11:26But it's far more appealing to work in Canada right now just because I have to be close to my family.
11:33But as they get older, probably want to hang out less with their dad, I'm sure it's like, OK, well, I can go take these jobs now.
11:41And they won't be missing me as much.
11:43So, yeah, to travel and to work is the dream.
11:47OK.
11:47Aaron Ashmore, I'm going to turn it over to you for the final 30 seconds.
11:52So you might enlighten all our audience, all our listeners, why they should tune in to season three of SkyMed out on May the 15th and Paramount+.
12:00And when they do, Aaron, what's in store for them?
12:02Well, season three is going to be packed with action, adventure, love, maybe some tragedy.
12:09I don't want to say too much.
12:10But, yeah, and again, I think if you're a fan of medical shows, high intensity, anything like that, this is right up your alley.
12:18So please enjoy.
12:20Please tune in on the 15th.
