matter 45 oh perfect all right let's get

31
00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:57,919
to some questions I I see somebody over

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,158
here with a microphone why don't we

33
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:01,078
start over here good morning Jensen good

34
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,839
morning um I was wondering if directing

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,438
the season uh had had any impact on your

36
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:07,798
acting you know sometimes when you

37
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:10,949
change

38
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:13,439
perspective did it have impact on the

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,279
acting uh yeah it did um it was

40
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,759
uh when when I was directing I was of a

41
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,318
different mindset and I guess I didn't

42
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:27,799
realize it until I had to do uh until I

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,919
had to to be in the scene as an actor

44
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:33,839
um and I I I guess I can best explain it

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,518
by uh there was one scene where I had a

46
00:02:36,519 --> 00:02:41,598
phone call with uh with Bobby and as an

47
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:44,238
actor I I read that scene and and

48
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:47,158
memorized the lines um and to me there

49
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:49,759
was a lot going on in the dialogue you

50
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,919
know there was I would get angry and

51
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:53,878
then I sad so there's a lot of different

52
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:56,518
levels to play as an actor so it seemed

53
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:00,359
like a a fairly complicated scene sit on

54
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,359
but then as an actor I mean as a

55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,679
director I looked at it and I was like

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,878
okay how can I how can I shoot this and

57
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:08,079
how can I tell the story with the camera

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,439
and I'm like oh really it would be great

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,719
if I just had one shot kind of tracking

60
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,238
me the whole way and at the very end to

61
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:15,039
sit down and I have a slow move in and

62
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,839
boom that's it so it's one shot I'm like

63
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,359
very simple

64
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,079
scene so that when I when I set up the

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,559
scene as direct as the Director I was

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,518
like okay guys this is what we're going

67
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:24,559
to do I'm going to be here we're going

68
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,759
to come up we're going to follow me over

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,158
here and sit down on the bed and it's

70
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:28,318
going to be a slow push in and that's

71
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:29,518
going to be scene it's going to be one

72
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,679
shot they're like great cool simple and then

73
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,438
they're like great cool simple and then
I I got into it as an actor and I'm like

74
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:38,039
oh wait this is this is there's a lot

75
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,479
more going on in the scene than I

76
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,079
thought um so it was just it was just

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,399
two different mindsets and I think being

78
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,559
able to uh uh to switch between those

79
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,279
two will it takes takes a little

80
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,958
practice can be done obviously but I

81
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:54,798
wasn't expecting it to be that different

82
00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:57,438
and it was so I hope I get to do it

83
00:03:57,439 --> 00:03:59,318
again so that I can practice that so do

84
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:01,318
I thank you very much yeah thank you

85
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:04,798

jeez you know I I we get to ask that

91
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:21,599
question a lot and and sometimes it

92
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,039
changes and sometimes it I don't know I

93
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,478
mean obviously the pilot very first

94
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:29,279
episode is very dear to me because that

95
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:31,119
kind of started this

96
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,879
whole craziness um so I really I really

97
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,159
have that has a a place in my heart um

98
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,638
but I don't know I would say more

99
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:41,198
recently I don't know that I could name

100
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:43,799
one that stands out Above All the Rest

101
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,439
um but I would say more

102
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,439
recently I was very impressed with uh

103
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:56,790
The French

104
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,918
Mistake which uh which has a a funny

105
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:02,198
backstory to it and it's they called us

106
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:04,119
up to uh they called Jared and I up the

107
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,799
offices uh up to the production offices

108
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,679
and we got on the phone with uh with

109
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,599
Eric Ry and Bob singer and Sarah gamble

110
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,559
um who were down in Los Angeles and and

111
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,918
they actually uh pitched us the the the idea

112
00:05:18,919 --> 00:05:20,399
actually uh pitched us the the the idea
they said this is what we want to do

113
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,559
what do you think they've never done

114
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,638
that before in six years they just do

115
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:26,119
what they want then we get a script and

116
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,519
we try to make it happen so the fact

117
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,239
that they were calling to pitch us an

118
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,198
idea was got me a little concerned I'm

119
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:33,918
like oh great what do what do they want

120
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:36,478
us to do now and when they did it I was

121
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:40,198
a little concerned I'm like o is that

122
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:42,359
going to work I mean that sounds like

123
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,038
it's we're going way out there um but

124
00:05:46,039 --> 00:05:47,839
for some reason I don't know how this

125
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:49,679
show does it but we somehow managed to

126
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,079
go so far out there and bring it right

127
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,198
back in I think that's a testament to

128
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:57,159
the writers so and it I I think it

129
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,359
turned out to be one of our better

130
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,478
episodes okay thank you yeah thank you

131
00:06:01,479 --> 00:06:04,790
you guys agree is that

132
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,598
I it's really what you guys if you guys

133
00:06:08,599 --> 00:06:11,198
are like oh no that was way too far out

134
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:14,038
there then I would be like well I

135
00:06:14,039 --> 00:06:15,799
thought we were way too far out

136
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,079
there as long as you guys are on my side

137
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,758
hi hi I'm Kate from Russia uh thanks for

138
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:24,198
being here um I have a little bit

139
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:27,198
strange question about my body Valentine

140
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:28,598
uh you know when I was watching this

141
00:06:28,599 --> 00:06:32,519
movie I felt very sorry for Tom uh what

142
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,799
do you think U maybe um I just wondering

143
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,918
do you think that he's a good guy or bad

144
00:06:40,919 --> 00:06:45,719
guy um well I mean that was and that was

145
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,159
kind of the question that we wanted

146
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,239
people asking themselves throughout the

147
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,439
movie um was is this guy good or is it

148
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,918
bad we wanted we wanted it not to be

149
00:06:54,919 --> 00:06:59,918
sure so I I tried to kind of I tried to

150
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:02,559
play it as good as I could and let the

151
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,119
story really really good yeah I mean I

152
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,878
tried to play him like an honestly good

153
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:09,239
guy um and then I would just let the

154
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,559
dialogue and the story be the be the

155
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,359
question mark um because if I played him

156
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,719
bad then it would be too much it' be too

157
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,478
obvious or if I you know subtly like o

158
00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:21,878
like dirty looks or whatever then it

159
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:23,679
would just be too obvious so if you play

160
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,959
the guy honest and and and you know good

161
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,598
then it's a better payoff when he's

162
00:07:29,599 --> 00:07:31,559
actually the B guy I I don't know that's

163
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,839
just what I think that's what I tried to

164
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,839
do I don't know amazing job thank you

165
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,878

166
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:40,759
