K6 is just kind of the essence of Malcolm Reynolds I had that idea what advice if you have to be pigeonhole Yes Super cool Really quickly guys Just just just for you and me Yeah A lot of really wonderful things happened on If I'm thinking in the grand scheme of things in eight years time I like to think about Molly Clinton because when she started castle she was 14 years old She was 13 was in the pilot 13 from the series and she was a little way from the child who was Incredibly advanced social media, intellectual issues advanced really clever and amazing and it's been a bit wonderful watching her become the person she's become My Here, go here.

Yup. Have you ever played Firefly the working? And if so, have you chosen yourself as captain? No, but I did play Firefly Monopoly.

At Christmas, my family came to give for my niece Emma. And everybody conceded that I got to be the surrender. And I won. Let me do it, it's actually in the rules.

I think you're really placing me. Hey, hey, hello. Hi. Hi, thank you so much for all the characters you play.

It just do something great job at first of all. Thank you. I'm playing being an action figure. I'm being an action figure.

Do you like being an action figure? I love being an action figure. First of all, thank you. What's your name?

Tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you all, you guys. Thank you.

I think you were the very first to know Kyle. I hate it. You did the British on this. Yeah, the black, black, blue.

That's how I'm going to say how many years ago. I've come into these things for a lot of years. And obviously, I enjoy them. Obviously, I have a great time.

You guys are awesome. You're super excited about all the right stuff. You have really to taste the comedy and drama. And you are abusive in your nature, with your actions.

All my favorite things. I honestly appreciate this. I can't imagine a point in my life when I don't have you guys. So don't forget.

What's your question again? She has to be like being action figure. Yeah. I had to click on this.

I bought a hole. I bought a number of people who got involved and had four pinks. I was like, what am I going to do with it? I recently had it updated a little bit, some little data.

I just got to update a little bit so I think I came out and put a nice room. As I'm bringing everything back in, I get a lot of action figures. I gotta pull back on my interviews. So I'm gonna...

I'm gonna... We'll down on my... What's it doin' out there? What's it doin'?

That's right I do. I'm gonna keep my decoyless lines or the syllables I just pulled back at me, and then the rest of them on the sign of... and I'm not out of charge. I'm not out of charge.

You look great. You look great. I'm gonna have a confusing feelings. I'm gonna bring you the fuck out for 30.

Is it me? I'm ready. I'm ready. It's just you and me right now.

It fails you. Oh, that's right. You guys watching, it'll be catchy. Okay.

But, but, but, Finch. Oh, okay, okay, sorry. Sorry, I'm gonna put it in. It is.

Is there any way you could get Alan on the phone so I could have the watch to my show with you? Ahhh! I gotta do this to you. I gotta do this to you.

I gotta do this to you. I gotta do this to you. I can't really tell I can't tell somebody. What am I doing with my phone?

I'm just gonna go. I'm just gonna go. I'm just gonna go. It's very complicated.

You guys take time. Yeah. See how many kids? Hey, buddy.

Two days. First of all, your stupid funny sounds, I think you shouldn't have that on in this video. Second, please don't. Two children on the phone.

Two children on the phone. Two ones to be one. Excellent question. Pretend to do, like, when you're playing games, you tend to do different jobs.

Yeah, me too. I think that's the best part about being an actor is my one job is pretending I have all these different jobs. And so it's never really quite boring. And it's very, very glamorous.

And you're super cute. Hi. So, my name is William. I'm great to be here.

Hello, William. Great to speak with you. Been a big fan for a while. But we've heard through other cast members you've worked with from Firefly.

They've never been to the college. And other podcasts that you've been on, you're very playful on set. And I was just wondering what's inspired you and your play-point interactions with your cast mates as well as one of your favorite friends that you've come on set. I love my job.

I've got a really good job. We've got the lottery job. And it's rare. It's very rare that you encounter someone in this line of work that doesn't just love it.

Like maybe you should be doing something else. If you don't really love being here, why are you here? I can't say that anybody needs a job in here. But it's rare.

It's got a great job. My family is very playful in nature. I think that's how I get there from a lot of my books. My friends are right.

This is where I'll play for nature. Practical jokes. I try not to be too elaborate as much. I'm more so teased people.

My thing is, I have played practical jokes in the past. I don't want to be labeled a practical jokester. You don't want to be labeled. Right.

But I have, I like to tease people. We're all come up with two people. Let's say Claire's lovely sitting here in her chair. Someone sitting right next to her.

It's you, William. I'll say, William, hey buddy, I just want to tell you, I've been watching you. You've been doing a great job. And I see that you put in the extra effort.

And when people do that, go above and beyond the call. And it's just always a pleasure to be around. When you're doing the work, I think you need the credit. And you, sir, need the credit.

Thank you very much for being who you are. Hey, come on top of it. That's a nice time. That's a nice time.

Or if you see, like, I'm not a good guy. That's a nice time. That's a nice time. Or if you see, like, this is a nice time.

He feels good right here. Ha! That's a nice time. Thank you, William.

Hi. Hi. We all love your work on Firefly, Dr. Horrible, and Castle.

I just wanted to know where you put the current percentages of more Dr. Horrible and Firefly. Uh, percentages of? The chances of more Dr.

Horrible. Oh, the chances of, the percentage of chances of more. It's a very exact calculation. Oh, yeah.

You understand there would be no math today? Um, I think Firefly is no new year's old now. 14? Yeah.

I think so. I think Firefly is 14 years old now. Uh, who Dr. Horrible is?

Ted? Little more? Ted, Ted. Uh, and we're still talking about it.

We're still talking about those. I, when it comes to, is there gonna be more? Guys, I go to you. Um, I swear to God, I like being like a world dead.

You're saying, do people? Maybe Allison will still be like, I was there. I'm there. I said, what's going to be an actor?

It's a woman. It's great. And this reboot is terrible. So it's two decades a minute, then people, you know, hire up for the upper end.

Maybe it'll be like Firefly, the legacy. It'll be like the next generation. Yeah. If you're not very special Firefly, it'll be like E-73.

Remember when they used to drag those old, um, the original Star Trek members? Oh, Star Trek Generation? Nothing made me happier. Nothing made me happier than when that happened.

I just felt so good about that. Um, so made me in the cold. Hey, guys, come on, let's go right here. I am.

Hi. I love your umpit. Hey, I'm not. Winery.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I have nowhere to go. I have nowhere you can't come.

I have nowhere. I have nowhere to go. Why? Why?

I have nowhere to go? Because it's lonely within your heart. What would I do if you guys invited me? Because you did?

What would you do to the band? Well, it wouldn't be like it's not like we're going to talk to people. I would be like everyone your parent and friends playing on a farm is experiencing late nights. No, I couldn't because you get old.

No. No. Nobody. rioted.

Yes sir. really far from where I am. And in that category, you'll have your hair since right at the top. And this experience I'm having is here right now.

There's no different keywords in which you both currently are. And you're really much bigger. Is how easy he makes it look. How he makes it look really easy.

I know it's not. I know it's not. He knows it's not. He's good at it.

What can you look like your character for season two? Here's a little bit of a match. I can tell you. There's a new hunt of incredible prosthetic makeup and hair that's being done on this program.

It's a movie. Every episode of you moving the castes and sets. I had to be the one who wanted to be the most incredible visual quality piece. What was your question?

Oh, yeah. All my prosthetic skills are making you look more handsome. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER You say that I'm asking the way. LAUGHTER OK, I wonder what it's for you.

Make it through. Must. Tash. LAUGHTER OK.

Let's wave it. Where? On to the camera. What was your favorite part about filming?

What's the other thing about Josh and he's got a scar? LAUGHTER It's a good thing that you only think about a lot is when you're brand new to a sex and everything's different. The whole day I was different. You don't know where it is.

You don't know where the bathroom is. You don't know where anything is. At Josh's house, I knew where everything was. LAUGHTER So that made me believe it.

LAUGHTER Also, I knew practically everyone there. I think it was like five people I had to meet and say, and you're ready to this. And everyone else like you. That was my favorite part.

LAUGHTER It is the best to work with friends. I was just looking at you now. You want to work with people? You feel like every day you're getting away with something?

Yes. That's why I made the best job of the world. Up there. Hi.

Hi. Where are we looking? Oh wait. Hi.

Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.

Hi. Hi. I'm not really a hot new. Oh.

My name is Esther. So I'm a big fan of everything you do. And I was wondering if you personally want to see the Szechuan sauce brought back to McDonald's. Oh.

LAUGHTER The never existed. I would like the Szechuan sauce to be brought back to McDonald's. And I would like to be the spokesperson. LAUGHTER The Szechuan sauce and McDonald's.

LAUGHTER But as my book character. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER One second. Thank you. Yeah, I want the believe number to be written.

LAUGHTER Thank you. Hi. Hi. I know you.

Hi. I'm Kerry. I'm Kerry. Are you Black?

I'm Kerry. Yes. I know you've officially used your goal. And now they have DC on TV and they're attempting to do Justice League Ruby.

So would you prefer me? So would you prefer me? So would you prefer to do a whole bunch of musical ones? I just finished.

I see it for the last eight years. LAUGHTER With what you might call a soul crushing schedule. LAUGHTER So a lot of us have a lot of fun with things. But also a little bit of PTSD.

LAUGHTER A nice about. I'm really enjoying life. There's a room in my house that you can know about. LAUGHTER You can do long to be there.

LAUGHTER LAUGHTER You can do long to be there. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER I want to spend time at home. I want to reconnect with my friends. I want to go on some tricks and experience the world a little bit.

I'm actually doing that. I'm actually doing that. I'm taking some credit tricks around the world. I'm going to talk about Berlin.

I'll talk to Australia and China and Vietnam. And Scootrubs. I'm going to go with my brother. I'm going to go with my brother.

I'm going to go with him. I'm going to go with him for a little more compressed experiences. You know what I mean? You sign on.

The end is over there. You see the end. You know what that is. It's not just going to happen.

We don't know how long this is going to be eight years. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER Not quite pretty for that world of the nice GSB. That also is the nature of the history of change. So, there would be a series that says, we're only going to do ten.

That's a book that we're done. Like the office or something. LAUGHTER So, the answer is, yes to book. LAUGHTER With the, the agenda.

Short answer, yes or no? Long answer, no or no. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER Thank you. You can have a little Easter egg here.

I can't hear you again. Guardian's Galaxy too. LAUGHTER I can hear you in the first Guardians. I had a Easter egg in the second Guardians that got cut out, but I hope it's going to be the TV show, but that's, that's James John Fory.

He's the guy who puts all his friends into his movies. WHOOHOO! There's a guy, Lloyd Kaufman, who started to go. WHOOHOO!

But then he wasn't going to go. He's going to get to look at that James Gunn's career star as a lagg. And he's in every James Gunn movie he's ever made. And when he started looking up, oh that guy.

LAUGHTER That's Lilly. Hi. Hi, I'm Lonnie. I'm a, um, I'm a future and I'm a bit of a small-time kid.

I wanted to ask you, Ethan, how do you prove about me? And I wanted to ask what drew you to the role of Kayle because he was such a dark character. WHOOHOO! I'm going to go out and do that.

First of all, the chance to work with Josh again. Second, is the redemption because I have the chance to be into one. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER That's right. LAUGHTER I think more David Goryan is two men thinks they're more comfortable.

LAUGHTER LAUGHTER Um, love again. LAUGHTER God bless his old latte. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER He dressed up like a villain. I didn't play the villain before and I love you saying that he's so dark and what he did was dark but I think in Josh's happiness, villains don't think they're villains.

Right. Villains think they're the good guy. Villains think they're the good guy. Villains think they're the good guy.

Villains start moving, everything under him is right and everything. Kayle was pretty happy that I wanted to be a part of like a new thing, right? Yeah, he thought he was doing the right thing so I kind of like this chiffel is it. Oh, God, he was just, you know what, it's good.

LAUGHTER He was a little freaky about it. LAUGHTER Obviously he had a problem. LAUGHTER But yeah, I liked the fact that I grew up with Josh the fact that I could be on the internet with him like Buffy and get his pencil. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER And then we're just going to take it on the show against him.

LAUGHTER But yeah, I actually think it against him. Thank you. Thank you. Hi.

That's one of the things I hear from the hero. That was easy. LAUGHTER Something I want to grow about in the UK feeling. LAUGHTER Now the question I got for you is are you familiar with ladies or up and if so would you sing us a couple of bars for him?

LAUGHTER LAUGHTER I'm not like a giant musical guy. I know I did musical. I've done a couple of them. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER Here's what I tried to avoid in its entirety.

Singing in front of a huge group of people and going on the internet with it. I'm going to go on double-word for practice. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER This is what you would say five, six, seven... LAUGHTER Are you late?

You see a miss? Marius? Inliness? Oh, I totally go.

Yeah, me too. See if you barry up on this one. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER I'm not sure I heard about it. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER LAUGHTER I am right here.

Right here. You are a dead-ringer. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER And I want the doctor. LAUGHTER I have possibly the most important question in the whole of the universe to ask for you.

LAUGHTER Hang on a second, guys, I'll handle this. Do you think both ties are cool? Yes, Bob. I confess to wearing clip-ons.

Hello. I like shirt. Thank you. Oh, I made my hair.

See you at a good time. She's wearing a same one. She makes a smash. And those heels are killing you.

I just want to say I saw the comment panel in San Diego with you guys. And the same reason I asked you a question there is the same reason I asked you a question now. Because I'm a legend, you're not. I'm a legend.

My question is, how is the Wonder Man going to try to get that role? Here's a surefire way to kill your chances of getting a role. Go out and publicly kind of start. Yam or an about it.

So I can keep you applied about that. Inlet it developmentally. Without you know, shove it up anybody's. I don't know.

But like those heels though. Thank you. Good to see you. Good to see you again.

Good to be able to get it a con-man booth here at the end of the day. Wow. 9.1.7. Just like the area code for it now.

Hi. Don't worry what your favorite memories from slither was. Yeah. Where are they?

My favorite memories from slither. One of my favorite memories from slither. I started a gooby catchphrase on Gilpart. for don't reason, I flipped the line and then I hung the part.

I was doing a thing where we had a man like speak board, and I'll show him, okay, just the farm here, and then the sweet guy here, this is the farm here, we catch him here, I did this whole scene, and then I flipped the board over, because I had written in chalk on the back, upside down. I'm no party, so I came up. And they ate him. Are we like this?

Thank you. Hi. Hello, Nathan. Hello, not the morning yet.

So you always hear about... Oh, no, no, no. And it is? James, by the way.

That's what I'm saying, sorry. And again. So you always hear about actors having a hard time bringing out getting the crew, you know, living out at car, like, wait, that's it. He's obviously had this problem.

So did you ever have a living in a band down by the River-Titan moment? I was in a three-year-old. I was in a three-year-old city in New York, and the guy who played my uncle said, moved to LA, but in your car, if you have to, if it doesn't work out, you can always come back, and we're not going to go left, can't believe. We're going to welcome you back, to fire whoever's in your position.

We don't care about them, we don't care about you. I do not come back here. We're all going to love you, and it's not going to be a risk. So go try it.

And I did it. I went up to Los Angeles, and I had five big jobs. Pop, pop, pop. I said, I'm on a rocket.

Nothing can stop me. You hear me go? No, Thomas. No, no, no!

And not for like a drawing, but I didn't work for a year after that. And I watched my savings go down on to zero, and I was paying my rent to credit, and buying groceries. I couldn't believe. I used to work as very expensive groceries going.

Then I traveled like 16 miles to find the super cheap where the boxes of rice and the rice Krispies were bigger than me. And she put them in small boxes. I was trying to save money anyway I could. And I was waiting for my tax insurance to come back, so I could pay off my debt, and move back to New York.

And I was about to call New York to get my job back in the phone rang. It was a job. And I stayed in Los Angeles, and I couldn't really solve her since. But I'm going to tell you, on a point it was perhaps the best thing that happened to my career, because I appreciate every job I could.

Thank you. Great. Let's take a couple of questions for you to go here. Hello, Nathan.

Hello, Nathan. Thank you. If you want to preview the pistachio Mount Reynolds. As a ladies.

Unfortunately, there's one particular thing that's already practiced. So I was so excited to realize I wanted to buy credit debt. I've been inspired particularly by you. I saw you first when I was 12 and you were tapping on the Reynolds.

And then when I was getting mad at the gaming, I got to the role playing games. I got into a gaming game, and then I was getting into the other pipeline again. But you want to create a video yourself. So how is somebody getting into this particular type of thing?

When they're not, they have no experience. They have no connections. They're just trying to come in and edit the line. Yeah, that's everybody.

Honestly, if you wanted to be a plumber, there's a way to becoming a plumber. If you want to be an electrician, you want to be a teacher, there's a way to do it. Acting and becoming an actor, being on television, there's no way you have to find your own way. My way, I found the work for me was being positive, being willing to do it for you, continuing to do it.

Doing when it's scared of you or stressing me out. I was like, I didn't. And pushing and connecting with people, and nurturing relationships and being blessed to work with. You know, these were my, being Canadian.

If it was easy, everyone would do it, as they say. But, I mean, good luck. Good luck. Good luck.

Good luck. Good luck. Good luck. Good luck.

And this is going to be our last question here. Hi. My name is... I'm Joel.

That's all. Nice to meet you. I was wondering what some of your favorite firefly references were that you did on the castle. Obviously, you got to dress up as not the right ones.

That was really fun. There was a time where I had some, I had some really poor gloves because I didn't like to hurt gloves. So, all the times where I had to actually pick something up and hurt gloves and be blue and have a pick up and go blue. Then there was a time when Martha says to me, love me since I'm in the city, we're going to do this already spot.

You haven't heard of this already. Can you say, please? This is our camera here. And I said, please God, let me do this.

But she said, you haven't heard of this already? I'm getting a little reaction in here. I'm getting a little reaction in here. Good.

That's all of this. Thank you. Did you guys enjoy your time? If you liked this, check out some of our other shows like Mr.
