2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,638
Great. The perfect moment for you to answer that.

3
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:17,278
answer that.
I knew you were going up to Toronto.

4
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:19,759
Yeah. And I knew I knew that that uh

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,079
that Krypky had had some things planned

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:25,679
for you. I didn't exactly know what. And

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,479
you and I hadn't talked about what. And

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,598
then we did talk about

9
00:00:30,599 --> 00:00:33,759
why and and the first thing that Rob

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,159
said to me

11
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:38,878
was, I don't know if I'm going to be

12
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:41,639
able to work after

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,799
this. I'm

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,878
concerned. And and I was like, I'm sure

15
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:50,718
it's fine. I'm sure it's fine. And yeah,

16
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:52,319
after I played Soulja Boy, like things

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,519
like people watch the show. It's going

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,799
to be big. Yeah. No, no, it's going to

19
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,878
be great, man. It's going to be it's

00:00:56,879 --> 00:00:58,319

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,078
crickety. You know, he builds worlds and

22
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:02,479
he characters that are memorable and and

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,238
it's going to be it's going to be so

24
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:06,959
fun. And then and then I watched the

25
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,519
season and more specifically the episode

26
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,999
in which uh Splinter was

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,999
in and then I went I don't know if Rob's

28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:24,870
going to work.

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,559
It was it was disturbing.

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,999
And I I'm I'm of course up there right

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,078
now. I say up there because Canada is

32
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:35,919
above the United States. So we just

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,719
refer to Canada as being up there. Uh

34
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,078
and I'm I'm up there right now and

35
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:44,478
working with the crew again. And the

36
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:45,719
crew is like,

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,909
"Oh, Rob

38
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,118
[Laughter] That got That got
[Music]

39
00:01:54,119 --> 00:02:01,270
deep, pun intended.

40
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,359
I can tell you this and I'll tell them

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,679
this that uh that the the crew including

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,159
the visual effects the head of visual

43
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,159
effects uh Stephan Fleet uh who if you

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,479
ever see this um please don't do

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,119
anything bad to me in visual effects uh

46
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,399
you're amazing

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,559
um all of them said that they sang his

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,359
praises uh as to just what a lovely

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,079
person, what a trooper, what a what an

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,479
absolute professional and and great

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,079
human being he was. And uh and then I I

52
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,359
just asked I was like, "We're talking

53
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,479
about Rob Benedict, right? I don't know

54
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,999
if we're talking about he he did leave

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,359
an impression that I will say probably

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,079
paved the way cuz I certainly didn't

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,958
pave the way for the fact that Jared and

58
00:02:54,959 --> 00:02:59,910
Misha are on the show right now.

59
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,799
And I knew that I knew that

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,158
um I had to and this is this is no

61
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,238
secret. I I I had to jump through some

62
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:12,639
hoops to get Soldier Boy. That wasn't

63
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:14,318
something that Kry called me up and was

64
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:16,878
like, "Hey, I' I've got a role for you."

65
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,759
Uh I had to I had to earn that role. And

66
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,279
and then when I got on set, I did my

67
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,439
best. we love you. And I think that maybe

68
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,399
we love you. And I think that maybe
cracked the door open for maybe another

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,598
Supernatural alumni to come through and

70
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:41,439
Rob was the next and kicked the door

71
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,039
wide open. And then that's when that's

72
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,039
when Ky I mean that I'm I'm just you

73
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,598
know thinking about this out loud but I

74
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:54,318
really think that that's when the cast

75
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:56,438
and crew of the boys was

76
00:03:56,439 --> 00:03:59,199
like bring them on. Bring them on.

77
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,919
Whoever you got, bring them on. Uh, and

78
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,798
and I think it's a testament to uh to

79
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:07,679
Krooky and the worlds he builds, the

80
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,919
sand boxes that he builds for us to play

81
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,318
in, and the people he gets to play in

82
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:14,878
those boxes and and the trust we have in

83
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:18,478
him to to be that vulnerable to to take

84
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:21,279
our clothes off, but to to be that

85
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:23,359
vulnerable, you know, and he's the same.

86
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:32,790
My first day on set,

87
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,279
I'm the new

88
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,559
guy and this is what I look like

89
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,790
now.

90
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,799
Yeah. Um yeah, I met all those actor. I

91
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,749
was rarely

92
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:52,079
clothed. Um yeah. No, it you know and

93
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,758
it's true when we on set you know they

94
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:56,319
they they they loved what Jensen did so

95
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,319
much and loved him and sang his praises

96
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,999
and um and supernatural to them is

97
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,918
almost like the mothership you know

98
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:05,679
because it was you know cry from the

99
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,478
crypt verse um it means a lot to them

100
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:10,719
like supernatural so you know tell me

101
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,918
you know and here's the show that I

102
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:14,159
watched and was a big fan of the boys um

103
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,918
so it was funny to be on set and they're

104
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:18,159
kind of revering you and and then by

105
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,359
proxying me and you know the whole And

106
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,439
um so it was pretty cool just as we were

107
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,638
like we're like Kriy's first children

108
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:28,239
from his first marriage. From his first

109
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:32,799
marriage. Yeah. Yeah. So uh it's kind of kind of

110
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,638
Yeah. Yeah. So uh it's kind of kind of
cool. Um but yeah uh I you know what's

111
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:38,079
good is that I I didn't look like

112
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,239
myself. So you know I don't I don't think you

113
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,679
So you know I don't I don't think you
did. I mean in what way? If there was

114
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,198
someone who's going to be like I'm not

115
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:48,719
going to hire that guy. They don't know

116
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,710
what I look like.

117
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,918
What? He said, "I don't think Rob will

118
00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:07,150
ever work again." Oh. Uh, yeah. But you

119
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,679
have I can't say so much for Jared

120
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,550
Misha.

121
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,799
Uh, no. I mean, but what's great about

122
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,879
it honestly, like for me, is like it's

123
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,638
just fun as an actor, as a character

124
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,119
actor to to be able to play so many

125
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,879
different looks, so many different

126
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,679
people, and so it's like on the the the

127
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,679
wheel of parts that there are, you know,

128
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,839
it's like, well, I hadn't done that, so

129
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:35,599
check, you know.

130
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,119
Well, and that's, you know, that that's

131
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,119
a lot of that's something interesting

132
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,519
because most of of audiences of

133
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:49,038
entertainment uh gravitate generally towards the the

134
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:51,839
uh gravitate generally towards the the
star of the show or the star of the

135
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:56,159
movie and sometimes those stars burn

136
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,318
bright and die.

137
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:00,999
Uh and there is there is

138
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,399
a there's a a massive culture in our

139
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,439
industry of of journeymen

140
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,519
uh of people who continually work

141
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,638
constantly and and fill in all of that

142
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:20,079
supporting aspect of every star. And in

143
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,839
my opinion like there should be an

144
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,279
entire Oscar awards ceremony for those

145
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,629
people and not just supporting actors.

146
00:07:27,630 --> 00:07:32,309
[Applause]

147
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:34,638
those generally supporting actors are

148
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:38,478
also stars. Um but you know when you

149
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:40,318
when you talk about the real people who

150
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:42,478
have who have worked continuously and

151
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:45,559
who have have continued to grind in this

152
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,399
industry and are our journeyman and they

153
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,399
those are really the backbone of this

154
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,159
entire industry and and I I I actually

155
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,918
would love to consider myself one of

156
00:07:57,919 --> 00:08:00,638
those because I continually like job to

157
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:03,839
job to job to job to job and and Rob is

158
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,799
that way and and a lot A lot of the guys

159
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,159
here are are that way. Um they don't

160
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,119
view it as uh you know I want to find

161
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,918
the glorification in this project. They

162
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:18,318
want to find the craftsmanship in the

163
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:21,119
project and and you get to check those

164
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,079
boxes. You like I crafted that perfect.

165
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,478
Now I can move on to the next, you know,

166
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:30,239
crafting assignment. Yeah. Um and I I I

167
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,359
just I love that about our industry. Uh

168
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,079
my father was one of those people. And

169
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,079
so I always appreciate the people that

170
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,319
have continually had a career in this

171
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,398
industry that don't get sung praises. Uh

172
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:46,079
those are the people in my opinion that

173
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,679
do deserve it the most. Uh and and you

174
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:52,239
know when when those people get to get

175
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,879
praised and get maybe you know a

176
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,119
starring role in something, you just

177
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,719
know they're going to deliver because

178
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,039
they're absolutely

179
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,958
uh equipped with all of the tools to

180
00:09:03,959 --> 00:09:06,719
craft anything that you need. And that's

181
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,719
a special skill that I don't think a lot

182
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,039
of the stars have. Yeah. Yeah. Um Yeah.

183
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,319
I feel like I could write a book

184
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,479
sometimes. It's like being on so many

185
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,559
different sets and seeing so many

186
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,639
different actors and cuz it's not it's

187
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,799
not just about the role, right? I mean,

188
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,879
you guys have to understand like you're

189
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,278
only acting

190
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:29,759
what on a 12-hour day, you're probably

191
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,359
performing on camera maybe an an hour,

192
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,119
right? At most. So, the other 11 hours

193
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,079
that you're on set, you're dealing with

194
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,879
personalities. you're dealing with with

195
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,039
being a human to the crew and to the

196
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,518
other castmates and and and making

197
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:50,359
yourself a viable asset to that to that

198
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,838
production and and that that's a skill.

199
00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:57,039
That is an absolute skill. Uh one that

200
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,799
he has honed brilliantly and a lot of

201
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,679
the guys here have. Um, and it's not

202
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:05,919
something that gets talked about a lot

203
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,479
to be to be on set and to be amongst a

204
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,439
cast of of of many different types of

205
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,479
people and to be amongst a crew who come

206
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,719
from all different, you know, parts of

207
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,599
the world and and to find commonality

208
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,119
and to to rally a a team together and

209
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,078
produce a product that gets sold and

210
00:10:26,079 --> 00:10:29,759
gets and and can be proud of. That's the

211
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,838
work goes the real work in my in my

212
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:33,599
opinion goes on behind like when the

213
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,398
cameras are broken. Exactly. Yeah. Your

214
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:46,190
beard is [Music]

215
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,319
perfect in the sideline and got these

216
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,919
Italian freaking off the stage. Oh, I

217
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,879
thought we were doing this together.

218
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:51,999
We're not doing this together. We were,

219
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,879
but just for like 5 minutes. I

220
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,589
guess you get the out of here.

221
00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:03,259
[Applause]
