00:00So it took Odysseus 10 years to get back to Ithaca.
00:03I wanted to ask, what has been your biggest odyssey in your Hollywood career?
00:07I would say this is the one.
00:10We started in Morocco.
00:12We were the men with Matt in every country.
00:18I think everything Matt said, he was probably being nice.
00:23It was one of the hardest things we ever had to do.
00:27Every day was an hour hike up in armor.
00:30And one of the stories that I remember is we were out in the middle of the black sands in
00:36Iceland.
00:37The sun hadn't gone down.
00:38And it was like 4 in the morning.
00:40And somebody goes, I think Matt goes, who has the nuts?
00:44And so that was our craft services.
00:45We were looking for one bag of nuts.
00:47And one of the PAs had the nuts.
00:49So everyone's just fighting for these nuts.
00:51And that's how we survived the whole shoot.
00:53But it was probably like back in the day.
00:55Yeah.
00:55I mean, it was, you know, listen, it was one of the...
00:57I always say that I got to sit in front of the master.
01:01I got a front row seat and I watched him paint his painting.
01:05And it was rough, but it was one of the most beautiful things to see and be a part of.
01:09It's like the lesson that you'll take away from it when you work on future projects after watching that.
01:13But everything else will be easy.
01:17And I tell you, every night I went, I was like, oh my gosh, this is one of the most
01:21difficult days.
01:22And then he managed to top the next one.
01:24So I'm just grateful to be a part of it.
01:26And I'm grateful that I survived it.
01:28How do you think fans will react when they get to see the action sequence into the film?
01:32Because they're pretty crazy.
01:33I saw it last night.
01:33You saw it?
01:34I haven't seen it yet.
01:35So I really don't know.
01:36All I know is that, you know, out of...
01:38For us, I remember the 10 men, you know, the 10 men that surround Matt.
01:43And we said, gosh, what was the hardest sequence?
01:45And we said it was the sheep.
01:48And it was the most dangerous and it was the hardest one for some reason.
01:51It was the sheep.
01:52They were mad.
01:53So, yeah.
01:55I mean, a lot of those scenes are practical, though.
01:57There's the sheep are there on set, right?
01:59Oh, I mean, you know, it was all practical.
02:02And, you know, you would send reports home in the middle of the night to your wife or my family.
02:08And they were like, there's no way there were real pigs sitting, eating with you.
02:12And, yeah, I mean, everything was practical.
02:14Did you get to see the makeup of the pigs when they were transforming?
02:18I mean, I was there.
02:19Yeah.
02:19Yeah.
02:20What was that like?
02:20I mean, that's pretty crazy.
02:22When I first saw it, I thought maybe it was CGI.
02:24And I heard later, no, it was real.
02:25Yeah, no.
02:26I mean, I sat in the chair, you know, I could transform.
02:28So, you know, it took about an hour and a half.
02:30And, you know, obviously they had the best of the best doing it.
02:35And you just, you can't stop staring at yourself in the mirror when you've finished going through prosthetics.
02:40You're probably looking at yourself in the mirror like, I can't believe, I've never imagined that my face would ever
02:45look like this.
02:46No, it was truly bizarre.
02:48And I thought it was going to be a 10-hour process.
02:50And she had it down to a science.
02:52And, yeah, that was a day I'll never forget.
02:57Yeah, that was probably my most memorable day on that set.
03:00Yeah.
03:00Yeah.
03:00It's truly impressive, man.
03:01Last question for you.
03:03Nolan, he's nailed Batman.
03:04He's now nailed the Odyssey.
03:06What should he adapt next?
03:08Horror movie for sure.
03:10When we left the pig sequence, we definitely thought we were in a horror movie.
03:14What horror movie?
03:17Amityville horror.
03:18All right.
03:20Thank you, man.
03:20Appreciate your time.
