00:00I'm going to be like, ah, in everybody's face, but I don't think, I mean, he does.
00:05He's always jazz hands, constantly.
00:08It's embarrassing.
00:19This TV show is on paper a crime thriller, but to me is a Western.
00:25Western, why, in your opinion, Western is the genre that describes best American society still in 2025?
00:34I mean, to distill it to its simplest form, it's kind of cops and robbers.
00:40So I suppose you could see that as a Western, but I don't feel it is a Western.
00:44Yeah.
00:44I feel it's a noir crime drama.
00:47And, you know, I just think it's, there are too many elements that just make it unique.
00:56And, you know, I'd say one of them is Jeremy Renner.
00:59But yeah, that's all I have to say.
01:02I agree.
01:03I love how this TV show really shows us that rage is one of the most present feelings in our
01:14modern society.
01:15Where do you believe that we are all so full of rage nowadays?
01:19I think it's all, do you want me to go?
01:22Yeah.
01:23More than anything.
01:24I would think, I mean, you know, there's a bunch of things with that.
01:28I feel that with the show and what we've done with these characters is we've created a world where we're
01:33showing these people keeping their darkest impulses at bay.
01:37Most of them.
01:37But I will say on the flip side of that, for me and the human experience, I find that the
01:46people I work with, we laugh our asses off.
01:49And I think, I mean, years ago I had worked at a hospital for sick children in Toronto.
01:53And I'd see the surgeons and the nurses and the children come in and out.
01:59And no matter how difficult the circumstances, I found those doctors and nurses had a great sense of humor.
02:06And I think if you can have that, it's easier to look at anything through any lens, be it rage
02:11or violence or, you know, the darkness of the world.
02:15So I just think it's, you have to have a little bit of empathy and decency and humor to be
02:21able to explore those topics.
02:25I think, too, what really interests me about this show is I do think rage is a response to other
02:31tender feelings.
02:33You know, fear, everyone has love for someone in their life.
02:39You know, wanting to protect someone or missing someone or whatever it may be.
02:42So I think there's always, like, an undercurrent of different emotion and maybe rage is the response.
02:50But I love that you get to see the impetus for the response.
02:53Good job.
02:54No, but that's true.
02:55That's very good.
02:56I wish I had said that.
02:57I know.
02:57I wish you did, too.
02:58That's why I said that.
03:01And you both have a career in music.
03:06Yes.
03:06Also.
03:07Yes.
03:07Besides being actors.
03:10Being stage performers, how does it help with acting in any ways?
03:16Maybe you listen to some music, some songs.
03:19I don't know.
03:20How being stage performer helped you for this TV show?
03:24I mean, for me, you know, language is music.
03:28You know, for me, some of the best sort of Shakespearean actors are people who sing because there's, it should
03:35sing dialogue while being, you know, very natural.
03:40I think sometimes people assume if you're a musician or you perform on stage, you're going to be like, ah,
03:44in everybody's face.
03:46But I don't think, I mean, he does.
03:49He's always jazzed hands constantly.
03:52It's embarrassing.
03:53But so I do, I do think that.
03:57And I do think there is something about being able to, like, feel music inside of your body because that
04:04is a very visceral feeling that, like, spills out of you when you're on stage.
04:09And I think having that sort of porous ability is only helpful in situations where perhaps your character is, like,
04:16wearing a mask of some kind, like we were just saying, in order to not show how you feel, you
04:20get to still see it a little bit.
04:24Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, it's, the words right in your question.
04:28It's listening.
04:28For me, just being a musician first, you have to listen to the cues and, and you really have to
04:34listen if you're going to, you know, play with everybody else.
04:39And I feel that it's, it's just what Laura said.
04:43You have to, you know, you feel it.
04:46And if it, if, if you don't, then you beat yourself up later.
04:51Yeah.
04:52I'm going to drive home.
04:53Yes.
04:56Okay.
04:57Thank you so much.
04:58Thank you.
04:58Great job.
04:59Thank you.
04:59You too.
05:09Thank you.
