00:00When he was 15 years old, he told me that you went to his community.
00:04So I wanted to start asking you, what did you think when you read the script?
00:10Stuff with you, like, in all this training, or after that you keep doing to incorporate anything to your life
00:17from that?
00:17A lot of you.
00:18That's unthinkable to do.
00:20Kicking that much.
00:22And so, how was for you that training?
00:26I don't know, like, how did...
00:30I'm always excited and surprised when people think of something that they haven't seen me in before,
00:36that they think maybe I could bring something new to.
00:38That is really exciting, because you feel as though that has an energy behind it.
00:41These two filmmakers seem to have that for me in this, and I really benefited from it.
00:47It was a joy from start to finish.
00:48So if you can feel...
00:50I did think about the impact of exile on Nikolai,
00:55and how, when you live a long time in the woods, in the snow, and out of company with people,
01:02it will change you in ways that mean, like misery, that when a stranger comes in, company arrives,
01:09you are rather overwhelming in your need to be speaking with them.
01:13Hence, some of the comedy that we get out of Nikolai quizzing Troy about Top Gun.
01:20And from a personal point of view, it was a great chance to get a little fitter.
01:24You had to arrive early and practice and learn it like a dance and try not to get hurt or
01:29hit anybody else.
01:30But know that it was character revealing, that this action was part of telling the audience who Nikolai was and
01:36surprising them.
01:38I'm glad that you were surprised.
01:39I was surprised in reading it, and I knew that I wanted to help surprise the audience by just letting
01:44them know that they maybe had underestimated this funny, eccentric Russian character.
01:50And I think the filmmakers knew that and used it to their advantage.
01:54So when we had our very first conversation, they just called action on a costume test for him.
01:59He walked off the set, or I walked to him actually, so we shook hands in front of the camera.
02:02And we just started a conversation which hasn't really stopped.
02:07Two directors?
02:07I loved having two directors.
02:09They always had an answer.
02:11You were never, never having the director say, I don't know, because one of them sort of claimed that he
02:17didn't, the other one did.
02:19They were those kinds of people who finished each other's sentences.
02:23Both highly intelligent and both sort of equally gifted and sort of equally skilled in terms of what they were
02:32interested in, the filmmaking or the script.
02:34They were both interested in both.
02:54them.
02:55They were children about the tribe.
02:56And theямitz increase.
03:00They reallyوا kinnis.
03:00All that's the kind of favourite issues covered by kids.
03:01Look at those names, they identify them, so theyか Arcata and spear 들어가 over the show.
03:01They trigger someone with the number of people serving, so that they cannot have 1951 farmers, so that they can
03:01react to the groundament parts of the money.
03:01But no one thing kept happening there, they're too many people delusion, they couldn't use our society.
