Transcript
00:00What has been the highlight of the award season journey with this movie for you?
00:04I mean, the highlight is just being able to get back together with the people that I worked with
00:08and having them all kind of in such a great mood because the movie's been such a phenomenon.
00:14Listening to people respond to the movie and hear what they have to say about it
00:18and their take on my character or any of the characters
00:21and what the kind of film has represented to them
00:26has been hugely rewarding.
00:31I find the whole thing rewarding.
00:33And we didn't know.
00:34I mean, we knew we were going to make a good film.
00:35We knew Chris was going to make a great film,
00:38but we didn't know that the reaction would be quite so intense in such an amazing way.
00:45Yeah, Barbenheimer, who knew?
00:47Is there one viewer response you've seen or heard that really stuck with you?
00:51I think, you know, the thing is, just talking to people generally,
00:58yes, I think the response is that, like, oh, my God, our technology,
01:02we can't let just any old person be in charge of what we do with our technology.
01:06The response to it in sort of relationship to AI,
01:10I found that to be interesting because people have had a lot of comments about that.
01:13But then, of course, now, unfortunately, the fact that nuclear is in the news again,
01:21that there's a lot going on with Russia that, you know,
01:24could get very dangerous very quickly.
01:27Unfortunately, it's a very timely movie.
01:29So talking about that on that front has been very interesting.
01:34And tonight we're here at the SAG Awards, and it's all about celebrating actors.
01:38Who is a fellow nominee that you haven't gotten the chance to work with yet
01:41that you'd love to work with in the future?
01:42Oh, I just saw The Holdovers not too long ago,
01:46and Paul Giamatti's always been someone that I love.
01:48I mean, like, he's always been phenomenal, and that movie's just ace.
01:52It's perfect.
01:53So, yeah, I would love to work with Paul.
01:55And what role got you your SAG card?
01:58So I was really lucky at a very young age.
02:02I just was, I landed a few roles.
02:04I did a TV show called Cracker on ABC.
02:08It was on against Seinfeld in its final season, so nobody watched it, but it was good.
02:13And, yeah, that's how I got my SAG card.
02:16What's one kind of role that you haven't done yet in your very long career
02:19that you'd love to do in the future?
02:20Like, what's something you'd still love to take on?
02:23Ooh, I mean, so many different things.
02:25That's the whole reason I want to be an actor.
02:27I want to try to play a million different types of roles.
02:30And I think what's amazing is that as you get older, the roles become more rich, you know?
02:35I mean, when I was younger, it was basically, you know, heroic, fairly simple, male ingenue kind of roles.
02:42Now it's something quite a bit different.
02:44But I can be able to play all sorts of different roles, and I feel very kind of hashtag blessed to be able to do that.
