00:01You
00:24We don't reverse the tomography in the next 30 seconds. Barnaby won't stand a chance
00:28I know one's math. I'm trying
00:45Take the plans there's too many get out of there head to the sanctum now, but what about you? I
00:50can't leave Barnaby to die
00:51But they'll kill you both. I don't care
00:58Oh
01:06The American people believe if the soul fails to turn right after death it winds up in a dark and
01:11treacherous place
01:13Well, I've been to the void. I've lived in that screaming silence. I
01:20Know what it's like I lost whatever part was left in me that makes a person a person
01:32I
01:32Until Barnaby pulled me out no one else separate gay but damn
01:38It's too late for me, but you can still walk away. I'm begging please just walk away
02:08I
02:09I
02:12I
02:24You got this man
02:27You already got the job you just gotta go out there and crush it
02:34Just crush it
02:35Just crush it
02:36One step closer to the top
02:40Mr. Williams
02:42They're inviting you to set
02:45Copy
02:46Yeah, on our way
02:48Yeah, David go ahead
02:57Yeah
02:57Yeah, David go ahead
02:59Yeah
03:00Yeah
03:01Yeah
03:02What?
03:04Okay, who last set eyes on it?
03:06Hey, Kieran
03:07Hey, Ashley
03:08Hey, isn't that for American Horror Story?
03:11Sorry, day players don't get golf carts
03:14Yeah
03:14David, where are we with that blood?
03:17Yeah, I just got to set
03:19Hey, what's the status on that map?
03:22Oh, beautiful
03:23Talk soon
03:24How is it always Mendocino Farms?
03:27Someone on the right is room must unstop
03:29Ugh, I hate choosing lunch when I barely had breakfast
03:31I mean, how am I supposed to know my stomach want?
03:33Personally, I would go for the Smoky Chicken or Lotte Bowl
03:36No Kramer
03:37Hi, I'm Lauren
03:38You must be Professor Hoppin
03:40Yeah, I love the Castle Rock you directly
03:42Oh
03:42Your Sons of Anarchy episodes
03:43They were the best in the series
03:44Thanks
03:45Ashley, I'm a big fan
03:47Yeah, loved you in the Twilight series
03:49Thank you
03:49Absolutely
03:50Okay, so classes just ended
03:51And Professor Hoppin's packing up his desk
03:53Okay
03:54At the end of the night
03:55And then your colleague Sarah enters from here
03:58You do the first couplet
03:59How was your trip?
04:01Yadda yadda yadda
04:01And then Ashley, you cross to about here
04:04And Professor Hoppin says
04:06You do realize, according to legend
04:08That's where the Aztec god of death, Muglantucutli
04:12Was tricked into giving up the bones that became humanity
04:17Yadda
04:17Yadda
04:18Great
04:19And then Sarah transforms into a monster
04:22Um
04:23And bites off Professor Hoppin's head
04:28Yadda
04:28Any questions?
04:29Yadda yadda
04:31Should I switch to that a little table?
04:32Right now it's sounding pretty good
04:38Just one thing?
04:39Yeah, of course
04:43How long have Sarah and I known each other?
04:46Hmm, that's a good question
04:47What are you thinking?
04:49I was thinking we'd go pretty far back
04:50Like maybe we were best friends
04:51But we had a little falling out when she got tenure before me
04:56Sure, why not?
04:57Right?
04:58Might add a little layer to the scene
05:00Totally
05:00Yeah
05:00Let's try it
05:01Yeah
05:02Great
05:02Yeah
05:03Yeah
05:05So
05:05So maybe I shouldn't say Sarah, right?
05:09What's that?
05:10Well, the script says Sarah
05:11But if I've been secretly jealous of her career
05:14I don't think I would be so friendly
05:16You know, maybe I should call her Dr. Johnson instead, you know?
05:21Yeah, let's try both ways
05:23Okay, great
05:24Cool
05:24Let's shoot one
05:26Oh, and
05:27Hmm
05:28I wouldn't let her get that far
05:29Who?
05:30Dr. Johnson
05:31Considering our history
05:32I don't think I'd let her cross all the way to my desk
05:36I think Professor Harpin would stop her right about here
05:39Yeah
05:40Hmm
05:40No, no, no
05:42That is interesting
05:42Uh
05:45Damn, we're already lit
05:46So I
05:47I did want your dead body kind of bleeding out in this moonbeam
05:51That we have
05:52Uh, we can move the moonbeam
05:54Uh, it'll only take a few minutes
05:59If you want it
06:06Let's move the moon
06:07Yeah
06:08Yeah
06:08Move the moonbeam
06:10More, more
06:11Right there
06:13Last looks
06:17Should I be packing up a copy of Aztec Thought and Culture by Miguel Leon Padilla?
06:23Is there a problem, Simon?
06:24No, no problem
06:25I was just
06:27Just wondering if I should be packing up a copy of Aztec Thought and Culture by Miguel Leon Padilla
06:33And what is that?
06:34I'm assuming that's what I'm teaching
06:36Unless you're thinking Aztec Civilization by Henry Freeman
06:39But that kind of changes things
06:41Does it?
06:42Aztec Civilization is a quick read
06:44It barely touches on Mucantucotli
06:46It might fit into an ancient civilization syllabus
06:48But, uh, Professor Harpin is focused solely on Aztec Studies
06:53Right?
06:55Yeah
06:57Um
07:00Yeah, there's no reference to a book
07:02Oh, but it says
07:04It says packing up his desk
07:06Right
07:07For the night
07:08Mm-hmm
07:08Mm-hmm
07:09I think it's implied
07:11Should we check with a writer?
07:13Just to be safe
07:22Who is this Bozo?
07:24He had a great audition
07:26Yeah, but at this rate, we're never gonna make our day
07:29Can you get Ryan on the phone?
07:30Yes, ma'am
07:31Yeah
07:31And the interesting thing is, it's all here in your words if you really look at it
07:35You think so?
07:36I do
07:37Hmm
07:38Professor Harpin's history with Professor Johnson
07:40Is what makes his death at her hands all the more tragic
07:44Honestly, I never thought of it that way
07:45But it's here
07:46Yeah
07:46In subtext
07:47You found something really interesting
07:49Simon
07:50Hi, Linda Cox
07:51Hey
07:51Hi, really nice to meet you, I'm a big fan
07:54Oh, thank you
07:55Love all the thoughts that you're bringing
07:56Absolutely
07:56To this role
07:57Thank you, thank you, yeah
07:58Thank you
07:59The showrunner just called
08:01And he is, uh, rethinking this episode
08:03And he's worried about Professor Harpin's scenes
08:06Being a remnant of an earlier version of Ashley's arc
08:09Remnant?
08:09So he's cutting your character from the show
08:12Thank you so much for all your hard work today
08:21That's a series rough on Simon Williams!
08:31They're gonna put me in the movies
08:36They're gonna make a big star out of me
08:41We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
08:46And all I gotta do is act naturally
08:51Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
08:56Night with a monster you can never tell
09:02And who's gonna make me a big star?
09:07Cause I can play the part so well
09:11Cause I can play the part so well
09:12Well, I hope you come to see me in the movies
09:18And I know that you are playing the scene
09:23The biggest fool that ever hits the big time
09:28And all I gotta do is act naturally
09:38We'll make a scene
09:40We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely
09:43And baking down upon his bending knee
09:48I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
09:54All I'll have to do is act naturally
10:08What the hell?
10:16You moving up?
10:21I thought you wrapped in five
10:25So you're sneaking out?
10:32I'm just trying to prevent this from becoming a thing
10:36Weren't you showing me pictures of rescue dogs last week
10:39And complaining I wasn't committing?
10:40Yeah, I'm sorry
10:43I'm just not happy, Simon
10:44I know
10:45I just think you need to book something
10:48Things will turn around
10:50Come on, Vivian, we're good together
10:54You never let me in, Simon
10:56Not really
10:58It's a little late to start caring about this relationship
11:23But you're not great
11:23You have to be followed by that
11:44That's because Jerry wasn't there and I was, I remember.
11:48Yeah, it was a python.
11:51A giant bloody python.
11:53I don't know if it was Burmese or not, love.
11:55I can't speak to that.
11:57It was in the pool.
11:59That's what bloody matters.
12:00Maybe it had been.
12:02Somebody wasn't looking for cuddles.
12:05Oh, sorry, love.
12:06I can't today.
12:08Auditions this afternoon.
12:10Damn right it's big.
12:11Biggest bloody movie of the year is all.
12:13Hey, man, do you mind?
12:15Give my love to Uma.
12:17Smooches.
12:19I'd never talked to her in the actual film.
12:21Don't fret.
12:25Hey, I'm sorry, aren't you...
12:27Oh, yes.
12:30I played the Mandarin, but that was all bloody ten years ago and I was just a puppet.
12:34And whatever theories you've seen on Reddit are totally false.
12:37I had nothing to do with Pizzagate.
12:38I'm not a member of the Illuminati and I did not have my hands replaced with baby hands.
12:43First of all, I always dug your performance as the Mandarin.
12:48But I remember you from that Omnibus episode you did in the 70s.
12:52You played Edgar Allan Poe, The Need for Nightmare.
12:55Well, well, well.
12:57Not too many people remember that old gem, including me.
13:00How was I?
13:02Stole the episode.
13:04And nice to know, I'm also an actor.
13:05You don't say.
13:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:08Do you mind?
13:10The movie's about to start.
13:14I'll take the ten.
13:16But when I take you over to see Mr. O'Daniel,
13:19I'm gonna have to have another ten, just a couple expenses, all right?
13:22All right.
13:23Come on.
13:23I'll buy you a coffee, huh?
13:25I'll pay.
13:34Yeah, that's what I'll do.
13:37Okay, Rico?
13:40Rico?
14:03I'll buy you a coffee, huh?
14:11it's heartbreaking
14:14never tired of re-watching that one
14:17it's authentic
14:19moving
14:21really
14:22captures being an outsider on the fringe
14:27and it's a little trippy which is always nice
14:31you know
14:32Schlesinger didn't even think Hoffman was right for Ratso
14:35even though he'd just come off the graduate
14:39apparently Hoffman convinced him by showing up dressed in rags
14:42to their first meeting on the street corner
14:44he was begging for change and Schlesinger didn't even recognize him
14:47I was fortunate enough to attend Schlesinger's production of
14:50Timon of Athens with the Royal Shakespeare Company
14:54Sublime
14:54pity I was blind drunk
14:58so uh
15:00what's this

20:41I just
20:42I
20:43I
21:08Ask Damien how things went.
21:10Oh, that's right, you can't, because he's dead.
21:14That guy's killing it in there, bro.
21:16Oh, and please tell Mr. Von Kovac that if he'd prefer a copy accent, I can throw one in
21:21and now it's for charge, alright?
21:25Where have you seen him before?
21:27Pretty sure he used to be a terrorist.
21:40Come with me.
21:50You're a bloody mess.
21:52You can't go in like this.
21:56What are you trying to get in my head?
21:58I'm trying to help you, love, you know, some of us actually believe in supporting each
22:03other.
22:04Take it from someone who's eaten shit on stage more times than he can count.
22:07Not literally, mind you, you can still turn this around.
22:09It's not too late, I know.
22:11There's a lot to memorize.
22:12No, but my memory isn't the problem.
22:14So what's wrong?
22:21I can't get hold of the character.
22:23I've seen the original too many times.
22:26And I'm trying to come up with a backstory for his relationship with Barnaby, but it's
22:29not making sense.
22:31Well, trust the words, just show up and say them, be present.
22:35That's not my process.
22:37Well, your process can go blow a spider.
22:39Do you mind, let me see this.
22:43Oh.
22:44Oh.
22:45Oh, this is your problem, you see, these nose are garbage.
22:47Sorry.
22:48No, it's how I learned it.
22:49It's how I make choices.
22:51Well, your choices are getting in the way.
22:53No one gives a fart about the subtext of the tales of the Invera people.
22:58We've got to get you out of your head.
23:01Then how do we do that?
23:02When you're in there, blow every last bit of air out of your lungs, hard and fast.
23:07With no air in your lungs, your body will go into shock.
23:09Shut down your frontal lobes, so no more logic getting in the way.
23:12Then your amygdala kicks in and you'll be left with instinct.
23:15Simon Williams?
23:16Here.
23:19Don't think.
23:42You can slate whenever you're ready.
23:44Simon Williams.
23:46Reading for Wonder Man.
23:54Everything okay?
24:13The Invera people believe if a soul fails to turn right after death, it ends up in a dark and
24:19treacherous place.
24:27Well, I've been to the void.
24:35I lived in that screaming silence.
24:40I know what it's like.
24:45I lost whatever part was left in me that makes a person a person.
24:56Until Barnaby pulled me out.
25:00No one else ever gave a damn.
25:03No one.
25:06It's too late for me.
25:09But you can still walk away.
25:14I'm asking you nicely.
25:16Just walk away.
25:20It's a wonderful thing.
25:22Not thinking too much.
25:24It served me well most of my life.
25:26I'm not sure I'd do it again.
25:28Why not?
25:29John Gilgood used to have me whipping with the belt across his bare ass every night before curtain up and
25:35that was before we were friends.
25:37Then things got weird.
25:39Hayashi Neats and a Virgin Mary with extra horseradish.
25:43Thirteen years sober.
25:44Congrats.
25:45But an actor needs to think to do the work.
25:51You have to fill in the backstory and the character's psychology.
25:55If you don't understand it, how can you perform it?
26:00When we are born, we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.
26:06Can't live.
26:07Well, spot it.
26:10I had a run of it in Croydon back in the eighties.
26:13I really struggled with the role at first.
26:16Then I remembered that great speech from Hamlet.
26:20The purpose of playing is to hold us to the mirror up to nature.
26:29Never forget that.
26:31Nature, that's our job.
26:32To understand the world around us and ourselves within it.
26:40The real work isn't digging for subtext or passing a writer's intent.
26:47The real work is living.
26:55Let's probably get going.
26:57Of course.
26:58You're a young man with friends to see and important things to do.
27:02This one's on me.
27:04I think I'm going to do the wedge salad.
27:08Hey, let's keep in touch.
27:10Of course.
27:11Oh, Simon.
27:14I have a good feeling about today.
27:18Something fateful in the air.
27:44Is Trevor Slatter it?
27:47Our drinks?
27:48Fifteen dollars for a Virgin Mary.
27:49It's bloody criminal.
27:50Trevor.
27:52Third contact was established.
27:53We don't call it third contact.
27:55He was at the matinee?
27:56Yes.
27:57And then you ran into each other at the audition?
28:00And then we had drinks.
28:02Third contact.
28:04Trevor, you need to take this seriously.
28:07Simon Williams is super powered.
28:09He's unstable and incredibly dangerous.
28:13His country isn't safe until he's in my custody.
28:16You sure he's buying the act?
28:18Don't fret.
28:19I've got him right where I want him.
28:26You too.
28:43You're so excited.
