00:18The end of the world cannot be stopped it can only be survived
00:27Juliet whatever you're going to do do it now
00:31There's a new world coming and it's just around the bend
00:39The first thing I wanted to ask you because we had talked about thematics but the practical application of these
00:45things
00:45The aspect of responsibility and acceptance within the character
00:50I just don't want you to give too much away but that greater idea is very much part of him
00:55this season
00:56Yeah he has to undergo a radical transformation
01:00And it's based on what he discovers at the end of season 2
01:06What happens to a person when their entire world view is challenged?
01:10When everything that they thought was the truth turns out to be a lie
01:16And that you've based your entire existence on that lie
01:21And to sustain the injuries that he does at the end of season 2
01:26To survive that but also to have sustained even deeper injuries to the psyche
01:34And to the soul
01:37And then to go from the pits of hell
01:41And recover and move towards redemption
01:47It was such a gift as an actor to be asked to take this journey
01:53You know it's a rare one
01:56And I was really grateful to be able to be asked to do it
02:02You were in there for 3 minutes
02:073 minutes in a box of fire
02:15She's had no memories for 3 months
02:18Other than those you've given her
02:20I look at myself in the mirror
02:26And I don't even know who's looking back at me
02:33She doesn't remember anything except what they tell her
02:38You are the only one who has ever gone out
02:42And survived
02:45It's radically challenging I would believe
02:47Doing what you did
02:49The physical manifestation
02:50The emotional manifestation
02:52Everything
02:53I mean even the voice
02:54Unbelievable
02:55Could you talk about that process
02:57Of finding exactly how you wanted to play him
03:00In this scenario per se
03:03Well I figured that the injuries had to be
03:05Not only external but internal as well
03:08And that includes
03:10You know any kind of fire
03:11That might have gotten inside his larynx and voice
03:14And you know
03:19I remember
03:20You know
03:21The challenge of it was that
03:24It was
03:25Anytime the camera was rolling
03:27I had to be in extreme amount of pain
03:32Physical pain
03:33Physical pain
03:33And
03:35You know
03:36When you're in pain
03:39Your ambition is to control that pain
03:42But it doesn't mean it isn't there
03:46So obviously I couldn't be screaming the whole time
03:49But inside the body is saying
03:52Scream
03:53And you can't
03:56Because you don't have the energy to do that
03:58So it internalizes into a constant pain
04:03And
04:04It was exhausting to do that
04:07I've learned over the course of my career
04:10How to
04:12Maintain the energy throughout the day
04:16But I was exhausted
04:17It was you know
04:20But well worth it
04:21Because it was telling a story that I wanted to tell
04:26The truth does not come without cause
04:29The amount of panic
04:31If people found out
04:34Found out what?
04:39How much time we have left
04:43I get splendors of memories
04:48Have the founders cared so much
04:50Why do they need to kill Asylum?
04:54The questions she's asking will get us killed
04:58But it's also what's interesting seeing Bernard
05:00From you know obviously first season
05:03As it progresses through this season
05:05Is his perspective and perception
05:07How that has to shift
05:09Based on how he understands the world
05:12And it's wonderful how you do that
05:14But it's also these little
05:15Whiffs of humor
05:17That you bring in
05:18You know in these scenes
05:19Because he understands the gravity
05:22But yet he can make
05:24You find a way as an actor
05:25I think to find those moments
05:27Could you talk about the power of that?
05:30But the power of perspective and perception
05:31With Bernard at this moment in his life
05:36Well obviously a new perspective
05:39Obviously
05:41You know it's difficult in life
05:44To say I was wrong
05:47It's a huge thing
05:51Particularly if you're older
05:54And you know you're moving into an age
05:56Where you're supposed to be the sage
05:58That knows everything
06:00And I've had the great good fortune
06:05To have mentors in my life
06:08That modeled a different kind of behavior
06:13Behavior of humility
06:17People like Robert Altman
06:18And Harry Belafonte
06:21And Dario Foe
06:25I remember being in Altman's office
06:28During pre-production on The Player
06:31And various department heads would come in
06:34And say Bob
06:36What do you think about this
06:37And this and this and this
06:38And Bob's answer would be
06:40I don't know
06:42What do you think?
06:45And they would tell him what they thought
06:48And he'd go
06:49Well let's think about it
06:52And then
06:53They would leave the office
06:55And I'd say
06:55Bob you know what you want
06:57Right?
06:58And he said
06:59Yeah I know what I want
07:00But why would I
07:02Cheat myself of a better idea?
07:06And the journey
07:06Wow
07:24Hello?
07:38Hello
07:38Jillian
07:42And that
07:43You know
07:45This guy
07:46I viewed as a genius
07:47And
07:48You know
07:49Someone that made me want to start making movies
07:52And there he was
07:54Showing humility
07:56And
07:58The spirit of a student
08:02And the mischief
08:04That he also had
08:06You know
08:07In approaching
08:08The work that he did
08:09And approaching his life
08:12That's where
08:13That's where growth lives
08:15Is in
08:17The I don't know
08:19The unknown
08:22Then you can discover
08:24If you're always
08:26If you're always the expert
08:28You're not learning anymore
08:31And
08:32That seems like a really boring life
08:37There's something I have to do
08:38To protect everyone
08:43You made your choice
08:45You'll die
08:48You're friends
08:49As well
08:50What are you afraid we'll find?
08:57We do not know why we are here
09:00We do not know when it will be safe
09:02To go outside
09:06We only know that day
09:08Is not this day
09:10We do not know when it will be safe
09:11We do not know when it will be safe
09:14We do not know when it will be safe
09:21We do not know when it will be safe
09:22We do not know when it will be safe
09:22We do not know when it will be safe
09:22We do not know when it will be safe
09:24We do not know when it will be safe
