00:00Were you big into the Batman comics growing up?

00:02I was, I was, yeah, I, I, you know, when I was a kid, the Tim Burton movie came out

00:07and it, it changed my life.

00:09I was, I was obsessed with Batman.

00:12I rushed out and got all the comic books.

00:14I collected comic books, read comic books for years, Batman being, you know, the predominant

00:20one.

00:21Michael Keaton is, is the only Batman for me now.

00:23No, I actually, I, I thought Robert Pattinson did a really great job and when I found out

00:27that he was cast, I was like, that's perfect.

00:30So to get to, you know, play a small, even a small part in this universe, in this, you

00:34know, Pattinson, Matt Reeves universe is, is so special.

00:37Well, it's also incredible to see Colin Farrell completely transform into this character.

00:43What was it like first seeing him walk out onto the set?

00:46And was there a scene that you shared with him that particularly stood out to you?

00:50Well, yes.

00:51Uh, this, the first scene in this, in this first episode is basically me and him.

00:56Okay.

00:57You haven't seen it?

00:58No, I have not.

00:59Okay.

01:00But I, I lived it.

01:01Um, but yeah, so it was also the, the first, um, scene that we shot for the entire show.

01:09So I was like super nervous.

01:11He was nervous.

01:12Um, everybody was nervous.

01:13Yeah.

01:14The crew was nervous.

01:15Um, yeah.

01:16And he was, he couldn't have been more pleasant to work with.

01:18He, you know, he, he never forgot a line.

01:21Like we shot that scene over two days and never once forgot a line.

01:25I mean, I forgot a few.

01:26It was also freezing cold in that studio because he was wearing all the prosthetics.

01:30Yeah.

01:31And so he jacked, had the air conditioning jacked up.

01:34So it was like, it was like minus 30 in the studio and I'm not wearing prosthetics.

01:37And so I was free, I was shivering like, and, and in the scene, you'll see like, I'm supposed

01:42to be cocky.

01:43I'm supposed to be confident, you know, and I'm just like underneath I'm shivering.

01:46Well, you haven't seen it yet.

01:47So maybe, maybe you, maybe you do play it cool.

01:49I've asked a few people.

01:50They, they agree.

01:51I was cool.

01:52Yeah.

01:53Okay.

01:54Well, I know that the show has also been likened a little bit to the Sopranos in recent days.

01:58What do you make of those comparisons?

02:00Yeah, I mean, again, I haven't seen it yet, but they're both, you know, mob shows.

02:05And so I could see the comparisons.

02:07I guess Colin maybe resembles James Gandolfini a little bit.

02:11Maybe that, maybe that's a part of the comparisons as well.

02:14But, but there's certainly, you know, probably more death in this show and destruction and,

02:20you know, Gotham's not, not really New Jersey.

02:25It's a little more dangerous.

02:27I'm from New Jersey, so I know.

02:28You know, but, but yeah, I could see the comparisons for sure.

02:31Yeah, for sure.

02:32Finally, I wanted to say this past Sunday where the Emmys, it was the first one without the

02:36Maisel family there to kind of represent a little bit, a little bittersweet.

02:39Yeah.

02:40We deserve more Emmys, I think.

02:41Yeah.

02:42More seasons, please.

02:43Hey, I mean, I, you're preaching to the choir.

02:46I would love to do more seasons.

02:47I would love to do a Maisel movie.

02:49Let's do it.

02:50Let's pitch it.

02:51Let's pitch it.

02:52But I wanted to say.

02:53I've pitched it multiple times by now.

02:54Yeah.

02:55What is your bond with the cast?

02:56Are you guys, do you guys still have a group text or group chat going?

02:59Yeah.

03:00We have a group chat.

03:01We were texting each other on Sunday, you know, because we were sad.

03:03We weren't together.

03:04Yeah.

03:05But, you know, we're all in different places and everybody's working.

03:09And I, I mean, I miss them so much.

03:11I miss that show so much.

03:13But, you know, we'll, we'll see each other again.

03:17It'll have, we'll have a reunion soon.

03:18Union soon.
