Alan Ruck and Mireille Enos share what they learned from the SAG-AFTRA strike, bittersweet feelings about the impending end of the award season, what earned them their SAG card and more at the SAG Awards.
00:00Does today's ceremony have a renewed sense of energy, do you feel like, given last year's SAG After Strike, as compared to last year's SAG Awards?
00:07We actually weren't at last year's awards. We were here two years ago, so I can't compare it to last year because I don't know.
00:14But I think everybody's thrilled to be here. Our union did its job and everything worked out. It was hard, but it worked out well.
00:23For both of you, what would you say is the biggest lesson that you learned from the SAG After Strike, and how has it impacted you?
00:30Just stand up for what you believe in. If something's wrong, you need to say something about it. That's all.
00:39I mean, people will always be willing to take more, so once there's that line, you just have to hold firm.
00:47It's been such an amazing awards season for Succession, but here we are at the end of the season.
00:52Does it feel sort of bittersweet in a way, getting together with the cast what could be the last time in a while?
00:57Absolutely. I mean, you know, I'm looking forward to seeing everybody, and at least we get to do it again, you know, one last time.
01:04So, we're lucky.
01:06Since we are at the SAG Awards, what role got you your SAG card?
01:11Oh.
01:11I did one scene in Sex and the City in which I was asked how my breakfast was, and I got to say, it's very good, and that got me my SAG card.
01:23Nice.
01:23Yeah.
01:24I think it was a movie with Sean Penn called Bad Boys, and I got shot. I got shot and killed in that movie.
01:31And, yeah. So, that was, yeah.
01:33Do you remember the first time somebody asked you what your job was, and you replied that you're an actor?
01:37Like, the first time you really claimed ownership of, oh, this is my job, to be an actor?
01:42I don't remember.
01:43Neither do I.
01:44It's been a long time.
01:44Yeah, it's been a long time.
01:47For both of you, what's something you'd love to do, a role you'd love to take on that you haven't gotten to do yet?
01:52I mean, on stage, I've gotten to do, like, big period dramas, but I'd love to make a big old period movie, you know, costumes and language, and, yeah, that would be wonderful.
02:06I'd like to do something like Motel Hell, you know?
