00:00Hey Paul, welcome to Westworld.

00:05What's up brother, thank you man.

00:06How does it feel to bring yourself online for this show?

00:09It feels incredibly exciting.

00:12Yeah, it's crazy.

00:13Were you a big fan of Westworld coming into it?

00:15Massive fan of the show.

00:17When I got the call to sit down with Lisa and Jonah,

00:20I had already seen the second season twice.

00:22The show is a complicated one, it's a messy one.

00:25The first two seasons took place within Westworld

00:29and, you know, when I sat down with Lisa and Jonah

00:32to hear their sort of arc of who this guy was

00:36and the arc of this season,

00:38I walked out of that meeting just so,

00:41rejuvenated, just so excited.

00:44I mean, I wanted to scream inside of the meeting saying,

00:48yes, my God, of course I will do it.

00:50I just feel so blessed to have been asked to be a part

00:53of this beautiful, brilliant show.

00:55One of the things that's great about Westworld

00:57is how it mashes genres together.

00:59It's the Western, it's the sci-fi.

01:02What do you think it is about that genre mashup that appeals to people?

01:06I feel like people can just relate to the show.

01:10It's a crazy, otherworldly kind of show,

01:14but it feels like it's our reality,

01:18our not-too-distant reality, which is crazy.

01:21But also, you're not really sure what world you're going to see.

01:24So, that's also very exciting.

01:28What was it like to imagine this future Los Angeles,

01:32to try and extrapolate a couple decades down the line

01:36what all of this is going to look like,

01:37interacting sort of in almost like a Blade Runner.

01:39Yeah, I mean, it's pretty crazy.

01:41If you see, even before I jump onto Westworld,

01:44you could look up like the future skyline of downtown LA,

01:48all of the buildings that have been approved,

01:50that, you know, they're working, you know,

01:52they've already done all their permits,

01:53and you can see how massive these buildings are,

01:56and what the skyline will look like,

01:58and it's very much like what you're seeing in Westworld.

02:02And that's just the stuff that was approved a few years ago.

02:05You know, more and more stuff gets approved, you know,

02:08on the weekly, but it's cool.

02:10You know, stepping into Singapore

02:12to shoot some of the exterior locations of downtown LA

02:16was so surreal.

02:19Singapore very much feels like the future.

02:22Yes, it does.

02:23No trash on the road.

02:25No gum anywhere to be seen.

02:27Anywhere to be seen.

02:28The cleanest subway I have ever stepped foot in.

02:32I mean, there's no trash bins.

02:35That's how clean it is.

02:37You carry it with you.

02:38Yeah, you just carry it.

02:39It's wild.

02:40Yeah.

02:41Tell us about Caleb.

02:42Tell us about the character from sort of

02:44broad strokes perspective.

02:45What are we getting into with this guy?

02:47Caleb is a guy with a very complicated,

02:52somewhat messy, dark past.

02:55He's had a lot of trauma in his life.

02:58And throughout this season,

03:02you kind of get to know what that is.

03:05You sort of are introduced to it at the beginning of the show,

03:08the first episode.

03:09You sense that there's something going on,

03:11but more and more layers are revealed throughout the season.

03:14He's introduced to Dolores very early on,

03:18towards the tail end of the episode one.

03:21He meets her while doing a job and that he gets on the RICO app.

03:28He does like these sort of petty crimes.

03:30And he sees this girl in distress and comes to her aid.

03:34And that's sort of where their friendship begins.

03:37And then Dolores is sort of like this educational tool for Caleb.

03:42She tries to kind of teach him what society is all about

03:47and the control it has on its group.

03:52Like the bigger umbrella, the bigger picture of it all.

03:55Not everything is really as it seems.

03:58So yeah.

03:59Meeting Evan and getting to work with her

04:02and getting to see her bring Dolores to life as somebody who

04:05watched Westbrook multiple times.

04:07Oh my god.

04:08Dream.

04:09Talk to me about that.

04:10Dream come true.

04:11I mean, it's impossible not to be a huge fan of Evan's work.

04:16Her resume is just so incredible.

04:20But yeah, to be able to work opposite her as Dolores was, you know,

04:25dream come true.

04:26Yeah.

04:27Really, it's just I've never jumped on to a show like this.

04:33It's like a regular that's already been proven.

04:36And it's a huge success.

04:37Already a huge massive built-in fan base.

04:39You know, from the movie back in the day to this.

04:42And then now season three.

04:44Yeah, stepping on set and seeing these actors inside of these characters

04:50is why I do what I do.

04:54Yeah.

04:55It's great.

04:56You know, I was a new kid in school.

04:58They welcomed me with such open arms.

05:00And quickly, I quickly felt like I was a part of the family.

05:04Nice.

05:05Last one for you is in that vein.

05:08What was it like to drop into it in the middle of its third season?

05:13Was that challenging at all to drop into the middle of this world?

05:16It wasn't really challenging for me.

05:19It was just nothing but exciting.

05:21It was hard in terms of like schedule.

05:24And it was no joke.

05:26Endless amounts of night shoes, no sleeping.

05:30It was a lot.

05:32But, you know, all the rumors are true about Westworld.

05:36But I wouldn't change it for anything.

05:38It's just the best.

05:39And to be working alongside of people like Lisa and Jonah.

05:45You know, this is the best of the best.

05:48Yeah.

05:49And also just watching two people so obviously in love with each other.

05:55And they just lift each other up and help guide each other.

06:00And it's really an amazing environment to be around.

06:04Nice.

06:05Yeah.

06:06Thanks, man.

06:07Thanks.

06:08Thanks, man.
