00:00Okay, okay, Brian, how big is you? Oh, that's inappropriate. I think it's you. Is it me? I don't know.

00:06Hollywood Reporter. Hello.

00:08Fishing for answers. I'm a Hollywood reporter.

00:18What has been the funniest quote from one of your characters in the show?

00:20Buckle up, fuckle heads. Buckle up, fuckle head.

00:24I didn't know that I needed to say that in my professional life.

00:27That'll come out in your personal life somewhere. With the kids, probably.

00:30Buckle up, fuckle head.

00:32When I'm in the kitchen trying to put the free food into a dog poop bag,

00:37and Tom says, what are you carrying? Is that a dog poop bag?

00:41And I said something like, no, it's just a bag.

00:44It's just a misconception about these bags.

00:47It's not like they pre-pooped them or something.

00:49It's not like they're just bags, really. It's just a mental barrier.

00:57I'm passing the bone to Kieran.

01:01Would you like to pick?

01:02I would love to.

01:03Go ahead.

01:04This one's speaking to me right now.

01:05Okay.

01:06Who do you think is Logan's favorite kid?

01:08Roman, me, definitely.

01:09And who's his least favorite? Kendall, definitely.

01:11Why? Because it's obvious. It was easy.

01:13He loves them more, equally.

01:15Do you think it's you?

01:16No. Logan's favorite is Siobhan, hands down.

01:18Do you think you could be the favorite kid?

01:22Yeah.

01:23Yeah? Yeah.

01:24At least.

01:25I actually think it's Connor.

01:27Yeah, maybe Connor is the best one.

01:28Mm-hmm.

01:29Favorite kid is his couple more.

01:31Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

01:32Ooh.

01:33Danger for you.

01:35Okay.

01:36How are we doing?

01:37It's getting hot in here.

01:42The cast member most liked their character is...

01:45Nick or Alan.

01:47Nick is almost indistinguishable.

01:51Jeremy, who plays Kendall, is a lot like Kendall.

01:56Mm-hmm.

01:57He, like, takes his wardrobe into life now.

01:59Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

02:00So I have, you know, it's like, it all kind of feels like it's the same.

02:02I thought that was Kendall's ring. Is that yours?

02:04This is mine.

02:05Oh, nice.

02:06The most eerie similarity to the story of Succession.

02:09And the real world is...

02:11Oh, oh, dag.

02:13Yeah.

02:14Um, where do you want to go with that one?

02:17I heard that a very wealthy media family, that you could probably guess, did actually have family therapy.

02:26Mm.

02:27And that was part of the inspiration for the scene, episode seven, for that family there.

02:32Murdoch and Fox and Disney and that whole epic drama unfolding.

02:37I found that to be sort of a powerful thing that was unfolding at the same time.

02:43I found the, uh, scenes in the .

02:46Spoiler.

02:47Well, is that a spoiler?

02:48Probably.

02:49Okay.

02:50I'll show up now.

02:53Growing up, I got in trouble for...

02:55I stole a pack of baseball cards from the stop and shop.

02:58I stole a pack of gum.

03:00I was really...

03:01From a store?

03:02From a store.

03:03Okay.

03:04And my mother found that in the car and she made me go back and apologize.

03:06I got home and I opened them and then my mom saw it.

03:08She was like, I didn't buy those.

03:09And she took me back to the supermarket and she made me apologize to the manager.

03:13Wow.

03:14Cousin Greg's nickname is Greg the Egg.

03:15What were your nicknames growing up?

03:17I've got a sort of annoyingly difficult to pronounce surname McFadyen.

03:22That was cannibalized into sort of rude names.

03:25Well, what do you think Ruckram's worth?

03:27Tuck.

03:28Yeah, sure.

03:29My mother's.

03:30Yeah, Buck.

03:31Yeah, sure.

03:32There's a couple.

03:33Pipe Down and Asshole, I think, for mine.

03:34I was Nicky, Nicky, New, New.

03:36That was what my mom called me.

03:37Nicky, Nicky, New, New.

03:38I had loads.

03:39First of all, babe.

03:40Like, little, little babe.

03:42Uh, Lambie.

03:43Smelly Boog.

03:44I stopped my sister calling me that because that was embarrassing.

03:47And then it became Smelly Bee, and then it became Smelly Beetle, and then it became Beetle,

03:50and then I'm just Beetie.

03:52Or Sezu.

03:53Sezu.

03:54Yep.

03:55Sezu.

03:56I've been Sezu since I was three years old from my sister.

03:58And then like, Snoke just lends itself to a lot of things.

04:00Snooks.

04:01Yeah.

04:02Snickers.

04:03Snickers.

04:04I get Snickers from a friend.

04:05I get Snack.

04:06Sally.

04:07Don't know why.

04:08But no one wants to call me Sarah.

04:10I'm just a whole bunch of nicknames.

04:12Hi.

04:13We're enjoying this.

04:14Put that one away and take this one.

04:15This is a good one.

04:16It's a good one.

04:17It's upside down.

04:18Try reading it like that.

04:19Okay.

04:20What posters were on your wall as a teenager?

04:21I didn't have any.

04:22Dog Day Afternoon, Marla Foot, and Rain Man.

04:23Of course.

04:24I had a lot of Leonardo DiCaprio, but it was a competition with my friend to see how many

04:28Leo pictures we could get.

04:29If Conor and Shiv both ran for president, who has your vote?

04:30Well, I would vote for Conor and it would be one of two votes that he would get.

04:35No brainer.

04:36No brainer.

04:37No brainer.

04:38Schiff, of course.

04:39Connor.

04:40Yeah, that's because you're just being difficult.

04:41He just does that to be difficult.

04:42I mean...

04:43He doesn't really need fun.

04:44I think that would be more fun.

04:45No, no, no.

04:46Somebody who's nuts as the president.

04:47Can you imagine?

04:48Well, that's true.

04:49Somebody who's not as a president.

04:50That's true.

04:51Somebody who's not as a president.

04:52Can you imagine?

04:53Somebody who's not as a president?

04:54Somebody who's not as a president.

04:55Of course.

04:56Yeah, that's true.

04:57Somebody who's not as a president.

04:58Of course.

04:59I had a lot of Leonardo DiCaprio, but it was a competition with my friend to see how many Leo pictures we

05:01as a president.

05:02Can you imagine?

05:03Well, that's true.

05:04Alright, let's just...

05:05Let's get there.

05:06So that was...

05:07We did it.

05:08Now I get to...

05:09This was Fishing for Answers with me, Alan Ruck, and my friend...

05:12Oh.

05:13Imagine a Fagin.

05:14Thanks for watching...

05:15Fishing with...

05:16Friends?

05:17Fishing with two friends.

05:19Yeah, sorry.

05:20You're gonna have to do it.
