00:00I am perplexed. I am genuinely perplexed. I'm doing so well at this game.
00:04Oh, I know that one.
00:09Okay, here we go.
00:12He means he went to one galaxy, his ass went to another.
00:19Oh, okay. He means he went to one galaxy, his ass went to another.
00:24I mean, Bones? Star Trek? No!
00:28Wow.
00:30He means he went to one galaxy, his ass went to another.
00:35Was it Johnny Cage? No.
00:37I'm doing so well at this game.
00:43I am perplexed. I am genuinely perplexed.
00:45Doom! There you go.
00:48Haven't seen that movie in a long time, clearly.
00:51Okay, rewatch that one.
00:53He means he went to one galaxy, his ass went to another.
00:56Occasionally, I do get people that come up and talk about it.
01:00I think the cool thing about that movie is the first person shooter sequence,
01:04which really was a pretty fair and accurate representation of the experience of actually playing the game.
01:08And, you know, for that reason, I think that movie, you know, stands up.
01:22I would cut off your head, dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground.
01:27I know this one.
01:28This is Aeoma, The Lord of the Rings.
01:31If you haven't seen it, classic movie, series of movies.
01:35Check it out.
01:36I would cut off your head, dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground.
01:41I had just done a small New Zealand film called The Price of Milk,
01:45and the director of that movie was very good friends with Peter Jackson,
01:50and he took a rough cut of The Price of Milk down to show Peter.
01:53And I think I just sort of happened to be in Peter's face
01:57when they were looking for someone to cast in the role of Aeoma.
02:00And so we got a call.
02:02Do you want to come and play?
02:03I was like, absolutely.
02:06And that was, without a doubt, and to this day,
02:09one of the most incredible experiences that I've ever had in my career.
02:14And shooting in New Zealand, which was phenomenal.
02:17I saw more of the country in that period of time than I had my entire life.
02:20And working on something that was so beloved,
02:23even the gaffers and the lighting guys and the catering,
02:26everyone's carrying around a copy of the book and saying,
02:30oh, okay, so today we're in Addorus, and okay, what are we filming?
02:33And looking and reading about it,
02:35and everybody was so invested from every department.
02:38It was really an amazing experience.
02:42Okay, here we go.
02:43I'm going to get this one.
02:46Are you out of your Vulcan mind?
02:48Come on.
02:50Spons, Star Trek.
02:51Are you out of your Vulcan mind?
02:52I really loved the original Star Trek series.
02:55When I was a kid, I used to watch the reruns of it with my dad.
02:59I always loved it.
03:00I always loved the notion of all this sort of eclectic group of characters
03:04that had to learn to work together to overcome their common differences.
03:07I loved some of the more scary episodes,
03:12sort of the more philosophical questions it would pose.
03:16I auditioned for Bones, and I went and read with JJ,
03:19and he goes, okay, let's see what you got.
03:21And I did it.
03:22And I remember I was partway through the audition process,
03:25and I hear this laughter.
03:27And I'm like thinking, what the hell are they laughing at?
03:29And then I also suddenly click, oh, my God, they're laughing at me.
03:33They, oh, they must like what I'm doing.
03:34And I completely sort of spaced out and lost the rhythm of the scene,
03:38managed to pick it up again.
03:39And at the end of it, JJ sort of looks at me,
03:42and he turns to his producing partner, Brian Burke,
03:44and the casting director, April Webster, and just said, yeah, that's Bones.
03:48And then he looks at me and goes, well, I guess you should do it again.
03:51And literally within an hour of leaving that room, we got the call.
03:56It's like, welcome aboard.
03:58It was a wonderful experience to be a part of
04:00and really wonderful to get to meet all those guys eventually, you know,
04:04and to work with Leonard Nimoy and see him don the point of years
04:07for the first time in 17 years was a trip.
04:09But I think the whole cast would love the opportunity to do another movie,
04:13and, you know, we'll wait and see.
04:19Fucking diabolical.
04:20I know that one.
04:21Billy Butcher, The Boys.
04:23Oh, fucking diabolical.
04:25Why is it so popular?
04:27That's a good question.
04:28I'm not sure I can answer that for you.
04:30It's a great catchy line.
04:31You know what?
04:32I had a lot of fun playing Billy Butcher.
04:35It's just one of those sort of characters
04:37that comes along every once in a while.
04:39And I figured if I have fun doing this character,
04:41the audience is going to have fun being with him
04:44and watching him and his crew and what they get up to.
04:47And we've got five seasons now,
04:49and I can't wait for the audience to get into what we've just shot.
04:52All right.
04:55I know this one.
04:57I am the law.
04:59Dredd.
05:00Judge Dredd.
05:01I am the law.
05:02Working with the helmet on the entire time was,
05:05for me, as a fan of the Judge Dredd comic series,
05:08the only way to do it.
05:10That was the version of it that I knew from the comics
05:13and that I loved.
05:14And it posed a significant challenge
05:17because, obviously, the actor's face and the actor's eyes
05:20are some of the most valuable tools
05:23that they have to communicate with an audience.
05:26And so it really became sort of an exercise
05:29in utilizing the entire body
05:31and body language and voice to communicate.
05:35Every single project you do teaches you something.
05:38And certainly on Dredd,
05:41there was a lot of those sort of lessons,
05:44whether it's vocal or body language,
05:46that I was able to then utilize on other projects.
05:49Okay.
05:51Behold My Stuff.
05:54Yeah.
05:54That's Scourge from Thor Ragnarok.
05:59Behold my stuff.
06:03Fun film.
06:04Working with my dear friend Taika Waititi,
06:07who's a phenomenal director,
06:09and Chris Hemsworth,
06:10and getting to work with the lovely Cate Blanchett,
06:12whose work I've admired for so long.
06:14I had a lot of fun playing Scourge
06:16and playing in that sandbox.
06:17I really enjoyed the way Taika worked.
06:20There was nothing sort of really sacrilegious about the take.
06:22You'd be in the middle of the take
06:23and he would just sort of shout out directions at you.
06:26Oh, try this or try that.
06:27And that sort of really comes from,
06:29I guess,
06:30his origins of comedy and improvisation.
06:34And there was a sort of,
06:35it sort of imbued the set
06:36with a kind of fun,
06:38looseness and relaxation.
06:40And yeah,
06:42I had a blast working on that movie.
06:45Okay.
06:48Aha.
06:49After all,
06:50if you're not committing sin,
06:52you're not having fun.
06:56Oh.
06:58I know this one.
06:59This is Black Hat.
06:59This is Priest, right?
07:00After all,
07:02if you're not committing sin,
07:05you're not having fun.
07:06I did have a lot of fun on that movie.
07:08One day, though,
07:09that wasn't so fun,
07:10we were shooting the scene
07:11where I'm on top of this train
07:12and I'm tethered to it
07:14and Paul Bettany,
07:15who plays the priest,
07:17is hanging on the side of the train
07:18and I have to stomp on his hand.
07:21And they had me sort of stomp down
07:24and just kind of like stop the boot
07:26from actually impacting his hand
07:28by hitting the heel
07:29on the side of the train.
07:31But, you know,
07:32with everything that was going on
07:33with the wind
07:34and the everything,
07:36I kind of missed the mark
07:38and actually crushed his hand.
07:40And I just remember,
07:41in the take,
07:42I smashed my foot down
07:44onto his hand
07:45and he just screams in pain,
07:48but more so than he'd done
07:49on the previous takes.
07:50And I'm thinking,
07:51God, he's a good actor.
07:53He's phenomenal, this guy.
07:55And then he lets go
07:57and it just suddenly dawned on me
07:59what had happened.
08:00And I'm feeling completely helpless.
08:01I can't apologize, you know,
08:03immediately because I'm tethered
08:04to this train.
08:05I can't get off it.
08:05But he was a good man about it.
08:07He forgave me.
08:08And, yeah,
08:10but it was a fun shoot.
08:12Okay.
08:13Oh, yeah.
08:14Bad move, Grandpa.
08:17This is William Cooper
08:19in red.
08:21Bad move, Grandpa.
08:23I didn't know initially
08:24the true extent
08:25of the caliber of cast
08:27that were in that
08:28until we really sort of
08:29got into it.
08:30Every day on set
08:31was watching the top tier
08:32go to work and bring it.
08:34And it was a great experience.
08:35Bruce Willis was so lovely,
08:37so generous
08:37with his time and energy.
08:39And he was actually remarkably
08:41down-to-earth
08:43and humble.
08:43He was always very,
08:44very good with me.
08:45I loved working with him.
08:47Okay.
08:49I'm just incredibly handsome.
08:53I'm going to say
08:53this is Johnny Cage.
08:55Mortal Kombat 2.
08:58In theory it is May 15.
09:00Don't miss it.
09:01Just incredibly handsome.
09:02When I think about
09:03Mortal Kombat 2
09:05in relation to Mortal Kombat,
09:07it's like
09:08The Road Warrior
09:09versus Mad Max.
09:11Like everything
09:12in Mortal Kombat 2
09:14is leveled up.
09:15The production value,
09:16the cinematography,
09:17the fights,
09:18everything is just
09:19dialed right up.
09:20The challenge
09:21of rising to
09:23the physical level
09:25that was required
09:26to play Johnny Cage
09:27was immense
09:28and I was very grateful
09:29for the team
09:29that I had around me.
09:30I just thoroughly enjoyed
09:31working with everybody
09:33and the experience
09:34of making it
09:34super proud of this movie.
09:36We'll see you next time.
09:38We'll see you next time.
09:38We'll see you next time.
09:41We'll see you next time.
09:41We'll see you next time.
09:41We'll see you next time.
09:42We'll see you next time.
09:42We'll see you next time.
09:43We'll see you next time.
09:44We'll see you next time.

09:46We'll see you next time.
