Producer Doug here, I just want to talk about pop culture, class room, they are the ones that put on Denver Comic Con and we want to help support them so that we can keep bringing you all this amazing audio such as panels and interviews from Denver Comic Con. So let's get right into it. Pop culture classroom inspires a love of learning, increases literacy, celebrates diversity and builds community through the tools of popular culture and the power of self expression. The individuals transformed by the educational power of popular culture, who create diverse, inclusive and engaged communities.
They provide quality service to kids and communities, respect, inclusive and diversity, quality of opportunity, alternative approaches to education and they recognize each person's intrinsic dignity and importance through open communication, responsibility and honesty. Then I said I got rid of the website, I absolutely did because, well, I did. I want to get everything right for them because they are fantastic. I recommend doing to the website and donating just to keep them going this fantastic program plus everything to do for the community, literacy, respect and of course Denver Comic Con.
So we can bring you all of this stellar guests and panels and Q&A's and interviews. So remember go to popcultureclassroom.org, click on the donate or just take a spin around their website and check it out. And now on with the show. I like how I was whole.
I like how I was whole. I like to move from chair to chair depending on it. I play different character styles during this panel. Hi buddy.
Hi. It's really nice to be here. Nice to happen. I joined the Japan yesterday so if I start to pass out during this panel, that's why.
And hopefully somebody knows CVR and then he'll get some. I'm sure he's not. I'm sure he's not. I know he had any questions that he was going to ask but since he's not here, we'll just go right to you guys and I assume he must better questions anyway.
I'll be able to get some questions. Do you say the best you question? Hi. I'm right to the Gilmore Girls question.
Do I need to move over to his car? I'm a car dancer from over here. I'm a car dancer. I'm a car dancer from over here.
I'm a car dancer from over here. I'm a car dancer. I'm a car dancer from over here. I'm a car dancer from over here.
My favorite memory from Gilmore Girls, gosh. I'm going to pick a re-simple on actually. I liked and there was a lot of things about doing the reboot that I thought were that made it sort of even more enjoyable than the first time around. We were all a little older and I think that we appreciated it a little bit more.
This show grown so much in popularity. In the years it had been off. My favorite memory was coming back and doing the dinner scene. The other summer here comes back and he's just there.
Because he's seen so many of those. Over seven years I've never been part of one. To be there and be part of the dinner scene with all the girls. In particular being able to act, I got to work very little with Kelly Bishop in the original run on the show.
I just think she's a magician. She's such a brilliant actress. I always say in general that I think awards are stupid. If anybody deserves an award for acting, it's coming.
I really love going back and working with them and doing that scene. Thanks. Keep going. Thank you.
You were very very without you. I was just like, I heard from the interview and he was thinking, and then I was like, can you work for me? I just had to just try to follow the door. Yeah, I didn't really expect anything at all from the first movie.
My hope was that enough people would see it and like it. You know, the movie did its audience. We find its audience and that we'd be able to make more movies. So the idea that I was just never thinking in terms of a sequel, the first time around.
But yeah, it's true that I look at that character fragment because mostly providing texture in the first movie. I mean, we shot that character in a lot of different ways because I'm just right behind. Yeah, I do. I'm just kind of like shouting things out.
And so we kind of play with him being a little bit more of a maniac in some takes and a little bit duller in some takes. You know, in a few different ways. It wasn't until I really saw a final kind of movie that I had a good sense of who Pratt was. Which for an actor, that's a very weird situation.
You're kind of all in with a character, but I didn't really know where he was going until I saw it. And then that made it much easier to understand his art in the second movie. But I knew that, okay, well in the second movie he starts here in the last year. I wasn't even able to do that until I actually watched the first movie.
But yeah, I never tried to expect anything in my career. You never know what's going to happen next when you're not acting. So what was our relationship between all of the castes and all of the girls and everything else that's getting on that? We're all friends except Rooker.
Yeah, the Guardians cast is really in many ways getting to know that and work with them is my favorite thing from any of those movies. You know, my brother James, who of course writes and writes as well, he does a really good job of vetting actors before he hires them. So that he's not just hiring good actors, but he's also hiring really good people. And so, oh, now you decided to show him.
You know, I'm not going to galaxy to go out. I'm going to galaxy to go out. Alright, wait, no. So yeah, so my brother does a really good job of vetting these actors.
And so we really have, I think, become sort of a family. I really do really love working with him to know Chris and Zoey and Dan and everyone really. It's been one of the nicest parts of the process. And then, like, going to, sitting to do the table read for the second movie, it's just one of my favorite memories from anything because it's just getting back together again and sort of, you know, taking a breath and being like, wow, that was really such a great experience.
Let's do it again. Let's do our best. It's all like, or all into this and do it again. And so I hopefully look forward to that in the third movie.
Although, technically, that's what it's going to look like. That's always my main question. There's no major spoilers you would like to give to this room in particular as the questions come up. Yes, I'm certain that you would all take it here in this room and share it with the outside world.
I'm afraid of that poison door. From Disney and find any spoilers. We can all keep a secret. It's the people that we talk to that can't give up.
That's the problem when it comes to it. No, so glad. I don't know how many of the conversation questions. First time of the time of the number?
No, I've been at Denver several times actually, but not too much recently. So, it's nice to be back. Welcome, welcome. You're not even more excited to have you.
I definitely don't ask you any questions from my end because I know when I was sitting there, I just wanted to monitor the stop-talking. I mean, you ask my questions. One of the things I wanted to always ask me comes up a lot when I mention I was bothering you is you're also rockets. Talk about the differences of physicalizing rockets versus being able to be fully seen in acting on screen.
Well, the whole way in which I began doing rocket in the movies was very strange because I know that my brother wanted to actually be trusted and worked with a lot to play rocket on set so that the other actors would be talking to a blank space when we shot those scenes. And also just when he rehearsed the scenes and you know, you need to have a sort of physical embodiment of that character. And rather Cooper wasn't even cast until most of the first movie had been shot. So we didn't even know what the voice of the character was going to be.
We just knew that he needed to look as realistic as possible. So they hired me to do rocket, but we didn't really know what that meant until I arrived in London and we had our first rehearsal. And I just got down on my hands and knees and started doing the character and started pretending to be a rocket. And it turned out that that's what really worked.
That having a set of actual eyes to look at when we looked at rocket eyes was really helpful. Not just for the other actors, but then also the visual effects team was like wow, it's really helpful to have those reference shots shown in their playing rocket because then we can start to animate the character right away in terms of where he's moving and how he's moving and that kind of stuff. And so it really just sort of became a job that I've felt into and did it. And then for the second movie by that time, of course, Bradley had already come in and does such an awesome job with voice of the character and sort of completing the whole picture.
But we just decided not to mess with it for the second movie. We were like, let's just use the exact same process. And then kept fighting came up to me at Comic Con the year, I guess, 2016. And say, hey, we're going to shoot these infinity war movies and rocket send these movies.
And so we don't want to mess with it. We'd really love you to come back and do that. And so I ended up in four movies in where I'm playing this character. I'm accustomed to not having my face of voice in the final product, but it's cool.
It's part of the job that I really like. I'm there for the other actors. And it's a great health and visual effects team. And so it's just become like another role for me that I put my all into.
And some of what I do finds its way in the movie and some doesn't. But it's a pretty cool job. And I love you for it. Thank you so much.
You can't do a big round of applause after saying no one sees my face or body. And I'm still looking at my all. You're not going to run. You're not going to run.
So it's speaking of things by the way to the movie. Rumor has this way common for the galaxy, according to the galaxy movies, to have some actor inputs or some ideas that make the way to the product. What's that like in a process versus a headless script vibe? Well, you know, I got to point out that we are mostly strict to the script.
I'm a script kind of vibe. I mean, most of what you see in the final cut of the movie is as it was scripted. And we always do versions when we're shooting it that are pretty much verbatim for the script. My brother James, and even most of the lines that are improvised, that aren't in the script but end up in the movie, aren't improvised by the actors.
They're actually improvised by my brother. And he's feeding them those lines to us from behind. So that's the correct thing to do with the scene. He'll give us new ideas for lines, which he has in a separate, he has like alternate line versions from a lot of stuff that he gives us in the moment.
Once and while we will riff ourselves. Usually that would be a lot of frissing, like a joke right at the end of the scene. We'd be pretty common in throwing some ad-libs. And Chris certainly hasn't been able to add them here and there.
He doesn't know nuts. It's not like shooting a joke about a gelato movie or something where there's long kinds of improvisation from the actors. For the most part, we're sticking pre-closet script. Perfect.
Yeah, no, there's a lot of questions. There's always that one in a second here. Chris Pratt made it up. All of a sudden, my first friends, thanks for clearing for the final for us.
Like I said, I promise I won't talk too much. It means that if you have questions, we start taking questions. But if your question kind of sucks, I'm going to reflaze it into a better question. Alright, right there on this first day I'm shooting up.
My favorite act to work with on the side, I don't know. That's a tricky question because, you know, I don't know what's like asking a parent who's her favorite kid. I don't know. It's like I love so many people I work with.
I don't think that anybody's better than any other other. As long as I handle the point of people out, I'll say I sure enjoy watching Karen Gillen work with me. I was here, I didn't see him with her, but she knows a lot about how she's going to win a Tariff fan. I was going to film him.
And she's just awesome. She's just a real pro. And I don't know. But that's just one.
I could really honestly sit here and say something great about me. But we're here talking to you. So while done, we did avoid getting on BuzzFeed. I'm done with all the likes Karen Gillen.
What's up? Next question right there. Hi, thanks for having me. Brothers and I did.
Don't be fooled. It's not quite PG. But it was also most certainly not born. And then we did for Spike.
That's because of comedy shorts. And I don't think that we're ever Disney. Shooting too many more of those. Let's rerun out of ideas pretty quick.
So as far as the question I'm looking at about, oh for Rocket you asked how much did we get. Well, you know, it's different. I don't know exactly how to answer that. Because when I asked in the scenes as Rocket, I'm not pulling anything back.
I'm preparing for the character the same way as if I really would for any character. And I'm really playing the character in the scenes. Some of their emotional scenes. I'm giving it my all.
I'm playing it with as much emotion as I would anything. I am doing that a lot for the other actors because, you know, it's one thing you really learn when you do professionally. You have to have a solution in your partner. That's what really makes scenes great.
Is when actors are giving to one another. Which is why it's so hard to have an actual person there for CGI characters. But then so yeah, mainly when the animators are using the face, they're using things maybe that I did with my face from time to time. But the voice, all the emotion of the voice is still rapidly.
So I really do look at it as a team effort. I mean, it takes a lot of people to create Rocket. And I just sort of the first one. You know.
Awesome. Alright. Back in the corner there. Ash.
What was your favorite? Is that me working on Trilio and Juliet? There we go. This is what we all showed up here.
Okay, so Trilio and Juliet was my first movie that I did in the mid-94, I think. I was still in school. And my favorite memory, I'll tell you the craziest one. There's a scene in that movie where character punches me in the face.
And it's my friend Valentine who's still my good friend of this day. And he was my good friend of that. And he plays the character of a movie in that movie. And it's supposed to be a screen punch.
And I was supposed to just miss. And I turned my face right across the plane on my face. He connected four on... And broke my nose.
And the pop... there was a pop that you could hear that when they were editing the movie, they didn't want to use the pop because it sounded too fake. Even though it's the actual sound of my nose breaking. They ended up deciding to go ahead and leave it in.
And so if you go back and watch that movie and listen to the sound of it, my face makes. That's the actual sound of my nose breaking. So that's my funnest memory. Awesome.
Alright, in the back there. Let's see, the difference between... Well, the main difference between shooting TV and shooting film is that the days are so much more rigid in TV. You've got to make your day.
So like, everything that you need to shoot by the end of the day, it's all got to be done. We're pretty good about staying on schedule with Guardians, but all movies aren't like that. You know, from a character point of view, I know now, as I said earlier, I know now that like, Craig was going to be in the morning one movie. I didn't know it then.
I didn't know when we shot the first movie. So, some two movies feel very much more like, you know, you have this one little window of opportunity to play this character. And that's all it is. With the television show, there's a give and take between the writers of the show.
The character can sort of grow as the show continues. So from a professional point of view, that really feels very different. That the character kind of changes in the writer's rank towards your strengths more and more. That's probably my favorite thing about doing TV.
Right there. Am I working on my whistle? Yeah. I hope so.
I, you know, better I get out of that. I guess the more hell I could be fighting that guy in the future. So that's really all I can say about that. That was a lot.
Thank you very much. I'm excited. I'm excited about that. So I'm going to try to do a second segment.
So I don't look right too far. Right there. Yeah. You, yes.
Favorite part of either film? I was back to choosing children again. Yeah. I mean, I don't know.
It's, it's, that's a hard question because again, like there are different special memories that come with different scenes. So I don't really think of ranking them. But I will say that filming the 12% of a scene from the first movie was a really special day on set. You know, we had a full day at shoot that scene and I was playing Rocket and I was just the guardians, just dialogue.
And so that was really, really fun to shoot a scene like that. You know, in the second movie, my favorite scene is probably, as you mentioned earlier with Karen, showing up as she has the sidewalk and I say, oh, you know, I'm just like a necklace or something like that. I'd say, you know. Yeah.
I guess that those are students stick out. There's a lot of, there's a lot of good memories from almost every scene in the show. I'd like to dovetail on me. I'm just a little bit.
Guardians One was kind of considered almost an underdog movie. Not as popular characters, not mainstream. When filming it was there, the vibe was like, oh man, they don't know what's coming? Yeah, I think that it was really after, you know, they were scared about Guardians.
It was really, it had the potential to be a sasser. But, you know, I knew what brother I trusted and I read the script. And so anyone had good, it was. And I think we all kind of knew that.
So even though they were still fearful, we knew that there was like, that we had a great script on our hands. And if we didn't, you know, F it up when we were shooting it, that we would have a good movie on our hands. But I think it was really after Comic Con and San Diego, they went after only 11 days of shooting. They went to San Diego, Comic Con, during the first movie.
And just a little mashup of a little like sizzle trailer that they showed. And the audience went bananas. It was a tell that there was tons of excitement for it. And I think it was, I think that they came back to where shooting it was.
And when those guys came back to think that they were really energized by that crowd, they thought, oh, this could be really a big big movie. You know, I think that was sort of the first indication that we may have several special on our hands. Awesome. That's awesome.
Oh, it's been curious. Right there. Well, I mean, I was going to say, it's always awkward for you. Not that nothing gets your voice.
But I'm just saying, I have a lot of practice out of now. So I'm not too surprised when I hear my voice. And honestly, part of what John is knowing, what my voice sounds like and what. I think, you know, like, I need to know what I'm doing.
That's what actors do. So you get used to it. I mean, you get used to it. You know, getting recognized on the street by fans takes a lot more giving you to seeing yourself on camera.
That's a lot more sort of unusual. It's something you have to navigate, particularly, you know, when you're like, I don't know, tired in the grocery store and people just come up and start talking to you. It's going to control you out of your world a little bit. I'm much more used to it now.
But yeah, I know I'm pretty used to it. I've been acting professionally for over 20 years now. So I'm like, I feel pretty used to it. Yeah, right there.
So I know I'm talking about the man. Jackass is true, actually. Ha! Yeah, the last item I've seen as scripted was just Rocket saying, Rocket shrugging and standing and saying, you know, you're happy now or something like that.
I'm standing too. You're happy now or something like that. And I did on one of the takes. I had a bunch of jackasses standing in a circle.
Yeah. And I'd rather loved it and kept it in the movie, obviously. And he ended up saying in subsequent interviews that it's his favorite line from the first movie. And if you know my brother as well as I do, it must really came to him to say that.
Because he's very protective of his own lines of making sure that no one ever takes credit for the lines that he wrote. And for saying that for making sure that people know, you know, what he wrote and that all the songs are his pick. Which is true, every single song, no one else has an input on that. And all those kinds of things.
So yeah, no one's pretty proud of that one. Awesome. Right there in the middle back. Yeah, you appeared.
Yes. So you're talking about Guardians 1 and how Bradley hadn't been casted on later on. So for the second one, did you listen to Bradley's voice acting first? Did you act first?
Did you guys elaborate? How did that work? No, I just did it the same way I did the first movie. Which is I just kind of had my own sort of thing that I do with the character.
And you know, it's all guided pretty well by my brother James. So he knows sort of which direction things are heading. And I just sort of do my thing with it. And then they adjust as necessary later on.
No, we don't communicate about performance at all. And I just kind of do my thing. And then, you know, sometimes there's some similarities but things change a lot of things. It's a great case that it's not real.
It's a real thing. Alright, it's right there. I can't either confirm or deny it. It happens in Infinity War.
I can tell you that I did a lot of fun doing the rocket stuff in the next In Adventures 4, whatever it's going to be called. And I got to work with a lot of new people. So I'm pretty excited to be able to share that with an audience. I really thought that the second one was just as awesome or worse out than the first one when we were shooting it.
I'm really happy with how Infinity War turned out. So I can't wait to see the next one. And I got to say, I'm contractioned and I'm getting to catch any poison guards for the region right now. I'm happy to see it.
So if you had a spoiler the question for Avengers 4, yes. And now I want to think it's tomorrow. Alright, it's right there in front of you. The question was were any of the songs from Awesome Next, which are written in the script?
And the answer is all of them are written in the script. This is very unusual for any film, big budget or small. But one of the first things in the process that my brother does when making a movie, or when making these movies at least, is get the rights to those songs. So then he already has them before he starts writing.
That way he can write the scenes totally to fit to match the songs and make sure that they're in there. And then furthermore, we can actually play those songs on set when we're shooting those scenes. So particularly for action sequences, it's really helpful to have the action of a song that's going to be played. Because some of the action is choreographed to the song itself.
And the same is true for some of the really traumatic scenes. For the most part, most of the actors will have an earbud in their ear where they can hear the song. For example, Father and Son, the catch scene is on the end of the second movie. We're really hearing that when we're shooting that scene.
Which is really amazing. It's like a really cool way. Other actors that I work with are like, oh my god, I wish I was able to work like that. It's a really cool way to make a movie and we're pretty unique in that we do that.
The scene is also true incidentally of the score. So not the complete score, but there's some scenes where my brother will work. With Tyler Bates beforehand and have a little bit of an idea of the score that we're recording. Like a sort of a raw version of the score so that we can play it over certain action sequences and things like that.
While we're shooting them. It's really cool. Chris Pratt in particular loves having action music playing while shooting those action scenes. Alright, right here.
I definitely have advice. I mean, the question is what's it creatively collaborating with a family member? And I think that the piece of advice I have I think is probably the only important piece of advice. Which is that work is work and family time is family time.
And then you have to separate the two. And you have to know when you have an argument that's about the work that you're doing. That it's just that. You need to be able to have the creative freedom to say, no, no, that doesn't work for me.
You may even say, I think that's a stupid idea or something that you wouldn't normally say to a family member. And know that you leave that there. But that's just about whatever piece you're working on. And that's never going to affect.
You know, hey, I love you. You love me. We both know that. That's never going to change.
When the day of work is over, we're going to go back to being brother and sister. And that's rock solid. But when we're working on something, that's where time we need to treat each other as collaborators and colleagues. And I would say that for my own brother, we had tons of practice.
We've been working on projects since we were little and one capacity for another. And he's an older brother, so it's easier for me to be in a position of subordination. He's my boss. I got used to it.
And it's true. And that is also how our jobs, you know, shape out. I'm an actor. He's a writer, director.
He's my boss on set. So I have to be aware of that and not be like, oh, you can't boss me around. You know, the way maybe I would have when I was a kid. I can't do that on set because it's not my job.
You know, but yeah, keep me separate. That's the advice. As the oldest brother, I approve of all advice. Thank you very much.
All right. I'll section these questions now. Go back over there. Yes.
Mm. The white whale. You know, I was, there've been a couple of things that no one really ever even saw. Like for a pilot that I thought was going to be the biggest show in the world.
And you know, that I really wanted to roll and I didn't get it. And the pilot didn't go anywhere anyway. Which is why it's fit to sort of, you know, part of my job is you auditioned and then you let it go. Like you have to work like that.
Otherwise, you'll get squashed by the rejection. Because every actor you see who has any kind of success or fame, had at least 10 times, maybe 100 times or 1000 times as many rejections as they had successes. That's just how it works. But I can say that I was up for a lead role in the show Angel that I didn't get.
It was very, it was very close to, it was very early grave disappointment in my career. Ha ha ha ha. But that was the back heat on it. Subtle.
But he not. Tina. That's a good question. You know, so the difference between my brother and the roostos is, it's really just like it is with any directors.
Like directors work differently. So they work, the roostos work in a very different way than my brother does. And so you just have to, you know, it was easier with my brother because we already have the shorthand for communicating with one another. We don't have to learn how the other works sort of to turn around it.
We already know that so we can dive in and have first and day one. It's not like that with other directors, but I'm used to working with all kinds of different directors. So, you know, the roostos are different. I love what they do.
They're a little more, they, their time's on set where it's, it seems more, how short they are. How should I say it seems more, more like fly by the senior pants sometimes on set, which I love, which I think is really cool. And it's why, why I think that a lot of their, like a lot of those actually scenes that we're shooting at, like, we're shooting at them. Like, I got no idea what's going on right now.
And then I'll see it and I'll be like, that's kick ass, you know. And so, so they're different. They, you know, they communicate a little differently. And, but I think they're great.
It's just something you got to do with every job is sort of figure out the new ones that say you're a director. Awesome. Right there. Yes.
Yeah, you got it. How did I prepare to run naked? Oh, and not lose it. Like, we did do it, like start laughing.
I don't always burst out laughing when I'm naked. The funny thing is, is that that's really true. It's like, I get asked a question a lot like, how did you not lose it in a scene? How did you keep a straight face?
And the answer to that is that it's really, I mean, I never, I don't think of it as being funny and really when I'm doing it, you know, for the most part. It's like, I know that I'm telling a joke. I know that there's humor to be mined from my behavior, so to speak. But I don't think that like, oh, oh my God, this is so funny what I'm doing.
I have to be thinking about it the way the Kirk is thinking about it. And Kirk's terrifying that moment. Like, it's hilarious to you, but that's not funny to Kirk. You know, screening naked is having a night's error.
It's terrifying. So I can do that. You know, I mean, I just try to get to where the character is at duty and justice. And, and I don't, you know, I don't have a lot of comments on what I'm doing.
All right. No section question anybody. Yes. I don't know.
I'm going to ask her that question. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Yeah, I will. I'll try to see if I can answer for that because she ever saw us working together.
I mean, there's six of us in my family. So, and we, um, and we've worked together, James and I have worked together the most, but mostly just because our jobs fit together the best, you know. He just produced a film that my brother Brian, who's been a screenwriter for a long time. He just produced a film that my brother Brian wrote, so they've worked together on that.
And I think that there are ways in which if we could work with our other brothers, we probably would, and maybe we will someday. But we were always very close. We're not very, we're not really competitive with one another at all, which is, um, which is rare because we're really close to age. There's six of us five boys, um, one year old.
All the boys are in the entertainment industry. So, um, I kind of don't know how that worked out. It's a weird thing that my family all ended up doing that, but, uh, I don't know if she thought we ever would. She's probably pretty happy about it though.
I'll try to find out. Yeah. I'll try to find out. I'll try to find out.
I'll try to find out. I'll try to find out. I'll try to find out. I'll try to find out.
I'll try to find out. I'll try to find out. What's the biggest thing that blows in mind? I don't know, but he'll get an old school one of the last ones on the next one that you're in.
Um, yeah, I love that. I love that with this, with this zoom. I, uh, I think it's funny and I hope that, um, you know, I think that the, the implications, like, I don't even know this. But I, I do not even know that their songs in there, but it was in there.
We can hear what kind of, you know, ridiculous music that Y Ubci has been listening to. Um, as for? Groglin? Um, I can not say, obviously, anything about whether or not he lives.
He lives, but I can say this, I can say that you will find out whether or not you will be. Oh man, great. When I was exciting things about Phineas, they only wanted to do it. I was like, wow, I heard a band band come on?
Because I was so excited to hear that he was still hearing music from the Sunday 80s. Yeah, I didn't go past that yet. I'm pretty sure that from other band bands that my brother gave Joe and Anthony, they consulted with him about what sort of field they wanted, what kind of tone they wanted, and then he gave them three or four songs to choose from that he thought would work, and they chose one of them. That's awesome.
Alright, right there. Hi, hand. Yes. So, Billy, thank you, by the way, and any show that I would love to make a cameo with, I don't know, I'm already sort of thinking about what's next.
I love playing different characters. I love it that's perfect and practical. Certainly there's some overlap because people look like me and sort of move like me, etc. I think that those characters are pretty different from one another.
I think already the character that I think I'll go experiment was quite different from that, and I want to keep playing different types of characters. I like doing a lot of different types of roles. I love to be a sort of bad guy, and I love to do TV again. Being a senior character, sort of, we're going to get a change a little bit.
It's really, really fun. But I never try to anticipate anything in my career, because whenever I anticipate the exact opposite of how I'm going to be happening. So, I try to just make good decisions when they rise and hope that I keep getting opportunities to play really cool characters, and most importantly, I'm working really good writers. Thank you for the compliments, too.
They're actors, but never said the time doesn't love you. We love you so much. You're here. Alright, it's in the back.
I'm not answering it for a while. Yes, you. I'm just buying a Kirkism. I'm not sure.
I definitely love playing that character. That's all I can say. I think that Kirk is sort of like a kid that never grew up. But he's also like a kid that very much wants to follow the rules, and it is like, I get the sense that Kirk is afraid of getting in trouble all the time, which is just a strange way to live for a grown man.
And that's sort of like guiding principle, I think, for that character. As far as the writing is so good that I love working with so many different people, I think Liza Wile is such a great actress, and she's so perfect for that material. Kelly does the same way. I always try to get a shout out to my winners who played Taylor of the More Girls, because I think he kind of had the hardest and most thankless job on the show, really, which is to play a character that you kind of are annoyed by, that you don't really want to see him when he shows up.
He's a special candidate that goes out. A&T have pages and pages of dialogue, or exposition dialogue. And he's such a pro, he's so good at it. And yet, I don't think the average man sort of realizes what, how hard that is to make that material pop the way that he does.
So I definitely really love working with him. Alright, we have time for one more question. As long as you can see who has our hands up, he's asking me, he's not even allowed stressing me out. Right there with the way he was made of now.
Yeah, the Guardians of Furtle. That was so much fun. And I think that we got a heads up that we were shooting at probably right around the end of, right around the looks on the wrap. So many six weeks ahead of time for me.
Shout out to this video for the next section of the DVD or whatever it was, and use it to help promote the DVD release, whatever it was. And everyone immediately said yes, and it was so much fun. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Thank you.
