00:00I heard from the producers that basically your interview with Warren, the author of the book, is what led to this movie.

00:05That's what I heard. I didn't hear that until I was on set. I had no idea.

00:10I had no idea. Like, you know, Scott Cooper didn't tell me. I interviewed Scott, too.

00:15It's been a while, but, you know, we are kind of in touch, and he gave me this role.

00:20He never told me. It just came out as an aside.

00:23You would think that would be the first thing you'd tell me, right?

00:26Like, thanks. We got the movie because of your podcast.

00:31But, no, it was just this aside. Robinson had to pull me aside and go, like, I don't know if you know this.

00:36I'm like, how did no one tell me that? You didn't want to give me any credit?

00:40But I guess I got it now.

00:42And how did you get involved with the movie in this role?

00:45I don't know. Scott wanted to work with me, and he gave me this role.

00:48And I said, okay. That's how that happened.

00:53How did you approach playing a real person?

00:55Was it any different than other work you've done?

00:57It's a funny story that I guess I'm going to tell over and over again.

01:04Chuck Plotkin, not a lot of video of him.

01:07You know, Bruce is a longtime engineer, but I couldn't find any real sources because, you know, he's not a public guy.

01:15And he's around, but he's not well, so I couldn't talk to him.

01:18And that's not a huge part.

01:20But I said to Scott, I said, I don't know what you want me to do with this.

01:23It's a real guy.

01:24But I can't find anything on him.

01:26He goes, don't worry about it.

01:26Just play it how you feel you want to play it.

01:29And I said, fine.

01:31So the first time we shot a scene where I had lines, they said, cut.

01:34I walked into Video Village, and Bruce is in there.

01:36And he goes, you got it.

01:38You got Chuck.

01:39And I'm like, well, that's crazy.

01:41That's a coincidence, but I'll take it.

01:44That's amazing.

01:45What was it like having Bruce on set?

01:48You know, you just kind of know the boss is in the next room.

01:52And you kind of want to just go hang out and talk to him.

01:54So I did that.

01:56I don't know what other people thought.

01:57I just want to hang around Bruce.

01:59That's amazing.

02:00Did he share any anecdotes or anything that was especially memorable?

02:04He's talked about guitars, picks, nothing too out of the ordinary.

02:10And there's been so much discussion about, you know, Jeremy's portrayal of Bruce Springsteen in this movie.

02:14For you, what was it like hearing Jeremy sing as Bruce for the first time?

02:18Great.

02:18I think it was pretty amazing.

02:20I think he fooled Bruce, too, from what I hear.

02:23Bruce couldn't tell on a couple songs whether it was him or Jeremy.

02:26Seriously.

02:28I'm not making that up.

02:30Bruce said that.

02:31There you go.

02:32There's something he said.

02:34I mean, he said that before.

02:35I definitely heard that on set.

02:40I'm not talking out of school there.

02:48Good to see you.

02:50I don't know.
