00:00It's so nice to see you. I like I'm obsessed and I want to hear everything because what responsibility you have with this role?
00:07Well, I mean everybody who was employed on this job has a fairly equal amount of responsibility
00:15including all of the technical departments as well because
00:18Although we had a kind of a forensic approach to trying to mine as much truth as we could from to inform
00:27What we were employed to portray so to did the art department and the production design and the sound design
00:34there was a lot of research that everybody had to do to
00:37To deliver on what Ray and Alex?
00:40wanted for this
00:42And I heard you I overheard you say you arrived later than everyone else
00:46So did you you were a part of the boot camp and I was I I didn't arrive later
00:50I just um, I just already had a shaved head
00:53Okay
00:55Just personally before you arrived, oh, yeah
00:58So then tell me what was the boot camp experience? Like what kinds of things were you doing? We were
01:05We were trying they were trying to instill in us a sort of a
01:13Functional understanding of firearms operation safety tactics
01:20room clearances and
01:24Different kinds of possible objectives
01:27communication rules
01:28Just so that we could have a very baseline understanding of how those things work, but I guess through that process
01:37Because we were kind of given tasks to complete as a group and look after each other we sort of developed a
01:46Much more organic familiarity with each other as
01:50As
01:52Seals do as any arm service member does and so
01:58Yeah, and then we were I
02:00Don't know if it was by design. I think it was by design. We were encouraged to
02:06to take that same
02:09Discipline of completing group objectives into the objective of completing a dramaturgical objective together
02:16And so what is what was the experience like when you have these intense days and then you
02:22Wrap for the day and are sent home. How do you decompress and were you guys turning to each other to?
02:27Sort of help each other through that
02:30We were all there for each other. I mean we spent
02:34You know even out of our out of work hours. I mean, there's a lot of
02:38The
02:41Work was just a big part of everybody's lives to 24-7. There's lots of lots of ideas and suggestions and
02:48Contemplations about how to make things work more efficiently and and be more productive. And so
02:54Yeah, I mean, yeah
02:57Yeah
02:59Well, I can't wait to see it then tell me about Alex because you had worked together before
03:03And reunited on this so tell me was that did he call you for this just knowing you guys had a good relationship before
03:09on annihilation I
03:11Know I met with him
03:13To discuss this and I had previously met him for an audition. I did a very long time ago
03:20for annihilation and I
03:22had won the part but
03:25for a multitude of reasons
03:28They they had to I
03:30Wasn't in the my the part that I played was never included in the movie. So it was cut. So I
03:37And that was it for years and then suddenly I got
03:41called from
03:42an invitation to meet Alex and that's where he when he introduced me to what he was planning to do with this with Ray and
03:50Yeah, that's kind of how it happened. And then last question before people watch this movie
03:54What advice do you have for them about what they're about to experience or how best to experience it?
03:58I would give them no advice
03:59I would prefer if they went into it and were and just witnessed it for what for whatever it is
