Transcript
00:00What is it like joining such an iconic franchise like Ghostbusters?
00:04It's wonderful, and it was like everything and more.
00:09Actually, like stepping onto set for the first time and meeting everyone.
00:13They were so kind. I had so much fun making this movie.
00:17Our director's right there, and he's like absolutely brilliant.
00:20I'm talking shit.
00:22And just made it like play every day, and that's just what I want to do forever.
00:28I'm just really grateful for it, yeah.
00:30What can you tell us about your character in this movie?
00:33I can't tell you anything, but I will say it's a new character,
00:40and it's a surprising character, and it's worth the wait.
00:44Okay, you'll still go? You'll still go see it? Okay, cool.
00:46Okay, I think that's a good enough tease for all of us.
00:48Thank you so much.
00:50Do you remember watching the original Ghostbusters, and what was your feeling surrounding it?
00:54I remember when it came out in 1980. No, I'm kidding.
00:58It looks so cool.
01:01I remember watching it for the first time.
01:03I was actually like seven years old, and I watched it with my grandfather in a cemetery.
01:09Yeah, they played it in the cemetery, like did a movie night,
01:12and I was scared of the library ghost then, and I'm still scared now.
01:17Okay, that's an iconic way to see the movie.
01:20Oh yeah, 100%.
01:21I've loved it.
01:22I've watched it every year since I was seven, and so when I found out I was going to be a part of this,
01:27I was geeking out for sure.
01:29Well, I feel like that's the perfect segue, because since this is Ghostbusters, I have to ask,
01:34what is your scariest ghost story, if you have any?
01:37Hmm, I've had like a lot of ghost stories, actually.
01:41Yeah, kind of weird.
01:42I go to New Orleans too much.
01:43I will say there's one particular one that I've been talking about tonight.
01:48I was just staying at this hotel, an iconic hotel in New Orleans that's known for all of the ghosts,
01:53and the closet, we were sleeping, and all of the hangers went from one side to the other,
02:01and we heard it, and we opened the closet, and sure enough, they were just there,
02:06and I just don't know how you make that stuff up.
02:08And so I kind of just was like, forever going forward, I'm never going to say ghosts aren't real,
02:15because I feel like that's bad.
02:16Does it scar you to this day?
02:20Yeah, but I still go back, because I love ghosts.
02:22I think that they're sick, and if they're on your side, they're great.
02:25If not, if they're Garaka, if they're like deadly ice demons, then probably not.
02:32But there's some good ghosts, yeah.
02:34Yeah, probably best to stay away.
02:35Yeah, probably, yeah.
