00:00I didn't see you last night, but I knew you were there at the TV Academy headquarters.

00:04How are you holding up this weekend?

00:07It's thrilling. You know, it's great to be invited to participate in the festivities,

00:12to celebrate everything that everyone has made, and I feel really grateful to be included this year.

00:21Well, you're included in a lot of things. You're doing pretty brilliant work.

00:23I just saw you were in Venice, where your film got a huge standing ovation.

00:30Tell me how that was to experience.

00:32Well, to tell you the truth, because of the Lufthansa airline strike, my flight was canceled.

00:39So I was invited to go and was all ready to go, and then everything was canceled for me the day I was supposed to go.

00:47But I read all about it. I was thrilled for all of them.

00:50And the idea of just traveling across the world for two days and then having to race back,

00:58I'm kind of, in some ways, thankful that I could cheer them on from here.

01:03I'm so sorry about that. What a bummer. And I swear that you were there.

01:06Maybe I was just reading the positive reviews that you got, because you have some pretty crazy scenes I read in some of those reviews.

01:12Yeah, I loved what I got to do. And anything that Luca would want me to do, I'm there in a heartbeat.

01:19And I got to be reunited with Tim again.

01:22And it was thrilling to be a part of the piece.

01:26And it is really challenging, and I think people will hopefully really enjoy it.

01:30Now tell me about that, because when you guys shared the screen the last time, he was just breaking out.

01:36But your scene in Call Me By Your Name was one of the most profound scenes of the year that year.

01:44And he's really exploded since then.

01:47What has it been like for you to witness his ascent and then re-team with him on this next film, Bones and All?

01:52I'm just thrilled for him. He's so talented and so much fun to be with, so playful and so smart.

02:01He's really just like a lightning bolt to get to be around and to get to play with.

02:06And I hope there are many more opportunities for us to do so.

02:09I'm a huge fan of his, and I'm still hopeful that we'll get a chance to maybe get to explore those characters again in a sequel someday.

02:20Yeah, that was the rumor for a long time.

02:22Do you know, have there been any updates? Did Luca tell you anything?

02:25Not that I know of, no.

02:27But I'm still hopeful, because it was a world that we all enjoyed inhabiting so much.

02:32So getting to do it again would be a thrill.

02:35Well, Michael, you're here for Dope Sick this weekend.

02:37And I know that the producers of the Emmys have reached out to nominees to ask them to send thank yous in advance.

02:44Have you done that? What's your strategy?

02:46Oh, goodness. No strategy. Just sort of do what I'm told.

02:49Well, they gave us 350 characters to articulate in one way or another.

02:59All the people that we thought we might want to thank, because as these awards events go, sometimes people don't have that much time.

03:07So I scribble down as much as I could think of and send it on its way, and we'll see.

03:15Yeah.

03:16Well, good luck on Monday.

03:18I saw you got to catch up with Christopher McDonald last night.

03:21I know you have a lot of friends in the business, a lot of people you've worked with.

03:24It must be tough to think about all the other nominees, but is there anyone in particular you're rooting for?

03:28Oh, I'm rooting for everybody. Are you kidding?

03:30I mean, it's a big celebration for all of us, and it's fun really just to be here and to be singled out.

03:37I mean, there's so much content out there right now.

03:40I don't know how they would make a decision about this kind of thing.

03:43And I wish everyone could be celebrated, honestly, and that's sort of how I want to think about it, I guess.

03:48I love that attitude. We'll get in there and have a good time.

03:51It's such an honor to meet you.
