00:00What was your relationship with the games beforehand?
00:03I had watched the cinematic compilation of all the cutscenes in one go years ago.
00:10I just had a habit of doing that for games I didn't play.
00:15Star Wars has great cinematic cutscenes in Force Unleashed and whatnot.
00:20And then I watched the first season. I was blown away.
00:24I didn't realize there was a character for me to play in the second season or the second game.
00:29And then when the meeting came up to meet with Craig and Neil, I bought a used PS4 from GameStop.
00:37And I played through the game until a very particular moment.
00:43And then I stopped playing the game.
00:45Because there was no... yeah.
00:48And what was that first day on set like for you?
00:53You know, I wasn't feeling too nervous until I stepped into the set and it's a massive full-scale Jackson community.
01:03The gates... when I saw the gates I started to get a little rush of adrenaline.
01:07Because they're so... the gates are huge. They aren't... they aren't CGI.
01:11They're like actual wooden beams stapled together, however you make them.
01:17Um... yeah.
01:19It felt like Helm's Deep. It felt like The Two Towers.
01:22Um... yeah, I was in awe of the set.
01:25And... um... the sheer scale of it.
01:29Because I've... yeah, that was the first time experience.
01:32And a lot of new cast members this season.
01:34How did Pedro and Bella kind of welcome you all into the group?
01:37Pedro gave a warm, tender hug.
01:41And at the time his shoulder was all messed up.
01:43So... it was... um... had to be gentle.
01:46But it was warm.
01:48And Bella and I... uh... went on a tiny seaplane.
01:52And experienced like the... the craziest turbulence for about 30 minutes.
01:57And I remember thinking, I'm like, this would be a crazy way for me to... for me to die.
02:01Like... prepping for the show with Bella.
02:04Uh... uh... yeah.
02:06That would have been quite a story.
02:08And I mean, this show... this show can be very dark and grueling.
02:12How did you kind of get in and out of that mindset?
02:14Sorry, what was that?
02:15I think Pedro just...
02:16Yeah, I... I...
02:17Oh, Bella's here.
02:19Oh, shoot.
02:20Wow, that looks so cool.
02:22I know, they look good.
02:23I love that suit.
02:24Anyway, sorry, what was the question?
02:26The show can be very dark and grueling.
02:27How do you kind of get in and out of that mindset?
02:29Uh... it was...
02:31I... I had a...
02:33I brought a guitar to kind of decompress in the corner and...
02:36brewed a little bit, but...
02:38It... what really helped was having...
02:40Um... people like Bella, Gabriel, Isabella...
02:43Um... so much levity.
02:46So much... so much warmth and brightness.
02:48Um... oh my god.
02:50Yeah.
02:51Yeah, he's here.
02:52Yeah, yeah.
02:53He's definitely here.
02:54He has arrived.
