00:00That's like knowing where your character goes and is that important? I sometimes find it comforting not necessarily to know
00:11Yeah, where we're going because I'm your basic, you know 50-50
00:16I'm gonna be any good in something and because there's every act
00:20Every trust me every acting trap known to man. I fall into
00:24Daily, you know, hopefully they cut around it, but but with I did a damages where I'm sociopath and I would play
00:33They were so scrambling with the writing that you never got the entire script in time
00:38So you'd almost show up and go, okay, and you'd you'd play a scene where you were being really sweet to this little boy
00:44And then you just shoot a week later a scene where right before that you actually have killed their mother
00:51So, you know, so you you're the perfect sociopath
00:56Yes, but not because I acted it is because I had no no idea
01:00Ted obviously your character at the end of the season you learn something you know a big reveal about that character
01:06How important was knowing that all along and had you not known that would it have changed the way you play the character?
01:12well, what was tricky is
01:15You know you we wanted people to watch for 13 episodes and not get it
01:18So I literally never had a private moment where I'd say something to somebody they'd walk off and I'd have a moment
01:27Which is what humanizes?
01:29People hi there. We have a category 55 emergency doomsday crisis
01:36Category 55 emergency doomsday crisis
01:39Sorry, what is a category 55 emergency doomsday crisis?
01:42It's nothing. It's a tiny little inconvenience
01:44Donnie Deard could you show us to a private room where no one could see or hear us even if I yell very loudly out of fear?
01:52You would pop into me speaking and pop out because I was only supposed to be there in people's
01:59From people's other people's point of view or else the gag would be given away
02:03So I watch it and I'd sit there go. I have this is really good or it's some of the worst that
02:09I've ever done in my entire life. So it was a little unnerving and this year is a lot more fun because I you get to see behind the curtain
02:17Does it get harder or easier to say no?
02:19My experience is when I do stuff I probably shouldn't have there was a moment when I read the script and went you know boy
02:26I don't know this part though here doesn't work and then they say God we'd love you for this part Ted and here's X money and then you go
02:33It'll work. They'll fix it. Yeah, it'll work. Yeah, and they don't you're usually your instincts are usually right
02:39This is a question that we typically ask women, but I want to flip the script a bit
02:48What is the most overtly sexist thing that's happened to you while working in Hollywood? Wow mmm sexy?
02:55Sexist
02:57It's not the same thing right?
02:59I don't know if this is sexist or
03:02Ageism or one of those things, but I have discovered that around the set we all make
03:07Jokes and we're kind of gypsies and men and women if it's a good set and it's friends men and women are just raunchy
03:15Mm-hmm and a pro
03:16Yeah, and it's not it's not the sexism thing where you're offending people and they're doing it and back and all that
03:22I've noticed that what I used to be able to say and be go home dead is now ooh
03:27Ooh
03:29Age all of a sudden I can't do those jokes
03:33They're no longer they're no longer appropriate
03:35It's like ooh dirty old man
03:37Dirty old man, yuck
03:44Can I just quickly my favorite fan encounter absolutely coming out of a restaurant in New York
03:50Daytime some guy says hey Ted. I turn around. It's like you remember that time. I watched you on TV
04:02Remember that
04:04Yes
04:06All right, the last time you were mistaken for another actor for some strange reason and it's it stopped last couple years
04:13But there's about a ten-year chunk
04:15Especially in New York. I'd be walking down the street and somebody go. Hey, Tony. Let's say I keep walking
04:21Hey, Tony, and I keep walking. Oh, what? Hey, oh, Tony Danza you two good
04:33It's the dance
04:45You
