00:00The end of Saw V.
00:01Yeah, the syringe sequence of Saw V.
00:04Who are you?
00:05Yeah.
00:06Who's that?
00:07Who's that?
00:08Get out of here, my dude.
00:09It seamlessly blended in and out of around the party, I would say, and almost killed
00:13all of us.
00:14Lovely to see you.
00:15I have to tell you, I am obsessed with this show.
00:20Obsessed.
00:21Congratulations.
00:22It's so good.
00:24Let me start with you.
00:26How difficult was it to make this series with so many moving parts and an incredible
00:32lineup, not just in the room with you, but everyone?
00:35Was it difficult to get made, or was everyone just like, where do you need me, when and
00:40where?
00:41It was not quite like that, but it was probably somewhere in the middle.
00:46It was challenging at times, but it was mostly very fun.
00:49The way we were shooting the show specifically, I think, posed certain challenges, but also
00:55made it very exciting.
00:57We wanted to create a process that was really enjoyable on a day-to-day basis.
01:02We wanted to work with people that we enjoyed being around, and who were very good.
01:10It was very technically challenging, and wrangling the cast was challenging, and the cameos were
01:14challenging, and the locations were incredibly challenging, and limited, and scarce.
01:20I think we got approval to shoot at the Chateau Marmont three hours before we started shooting
01:24at the Chateau Marmont.
01:26Things like that kept happening, where we would really paint ourselves into these corners,
01:30but it made it very exciting, and it made it, on a day-to-day basis, a fun challenge,
01:37I would say.
01:38And a great show.
01:39I have to say, I was particularly stressed watching episode two.
01:43I felt so immersed in it, that it genuinely stressed me out the whole time I watched it.
01:49That's great.
01:50For each of you, do you have a favorite episode, and why?
01:55Two is up there.
01:56Two is up there.
01:57Two is up there.
01:58I love the one where we were working back and forth.
02:02That was very fun.
02:03That was very fun.
02:04Because I got to yell at Chase.
02:05Yeah, it was very fun.
02:06I don't like her, so I got to scream at her and say,
02:09Exactly.
02:10Very cathartic.
02:11That was very fun for me.
02:12What about you guys?
02:13Wow.
02:14Every scene was fun.
02:15Yeah.
02:16The Golden Globes episode was fun.
02:17Golden Globes was very fun.
02:18Yeah.
02:20And the one that I couldn't read and watch was you dating the doctor at the medical convention.
02:25The pediatric oncologist one.
02:28That one.
02:29We thread a needle with that one.
02:30Girl.
02:31I haven't gotten to that one yet.
02:32It's very good.
02:33That one's very good.
02:34I love that.
02:35I've got treats in store.
02:36Yeah.
02:37And Seth, your character, Matt, is very keen on being there for moments that happen on
02:46film.
02:47Yeah.
02:48So I'm going to ask you, is there a particular shot from either a film or TV show that you
02:53wish you had been there on set for?
02:57The Goodfellas Walking.
02:58The end of Saw 5.
02:59Yeah.
03:00The syringe sequence of Saw 5.
03:01The Goodfellas what?
03:02The Goodfellas Walking.
03:03The Goodfellas Walking.
03:04Oh, yeah.
03:05The Goodfellas Wander would be very, very fun.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Very cool.
03:08Yeah.
03:09That would be a good one.
03:10All the ones we referenced on the show.
03:13If I could be on the streets of Cuba, because they shot Soy Cuba.
03:18I would like to be kind of at the party in Eyes Wide Shut.
03:23Oh.
03:24Oh, you would?
03:25That would be a good one.
03:26Really?
03:27Not the opening party.
03:28That's so scary.
03:29The party where you need the password.
03:30The cool party.
03:31Fidelio.
03:32The cool party, yeah.
03:33The password is Fidelio.
03:34Fidelio.
03:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:36I'd like to be in the pool scene in Eyes Wide Shut.
03:37The street pool scene.
03:38Me too, actually.
03:39I think it would be fun.
03:40Katherine, how about you?
03:41I just keep thinking of It's a Wonderful Life.
03:43Yeah.
03:44It's so sad.
03:45I guess I'd like to be in the...
03:46The scene in the bar in the end?
03:48Oh, the bar?
03:49Oh, yeah.
03:50Who are you?
03:51It's so sad.
03:52It's so sad.
03:53Get out of here.
03:54Sheldon Leonard.
03:55Sheldon Leonard.
03:56I don't know you.
03:57No, where they all come in, and they all give their money.
03:59Oh, yeah.
04:00Oh, yeah.
04:01The greedy people share.
04:02Everybody wants to help George.
04:03You know what would be cool?
04:04It's that apocalypse now, like in the trenches.
04:06Oh, yeah.
04:07Yeah, but...
04:08With all the locals.
04:09Just watching...
04:10Yeah, get rid of...
04:11I think it's scenes I don't want to be in.
04:12Watching Frederick Forrest get diphtheria.
04:13Yeah.
04:14And with...
04:15You guys are genuinely so much fun.
04:16Was there a fun wrap party?
04:17You didn't skimp on the wrap party after watching...
04:18Well, I guess for two weeks straight, we shot in Las Vegas at the end of the show.
04:19That was like one big wrap party.
04:20It sort of was.
04:21It seamlessly blended in and out of a wrap party, I would say, and almost killed all
04:22of us.
04:23Yeah.
04:24It was tough at the end there.
04:25By the end, it was rough.
04:26We lived to the finish, I would say.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Yeah.
04:29Yeah.
04:30Yeah.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Yeah.
04:33Yeah.
04:34Yeah.
04:35Yeah.
04:36Yeah.
04:37Yeah.
04:38Yeah.
04:39Yeah.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Yeah.
04:43It was tough.
04:44It was tough to finish.
04:45It was tough to finish, I would say.
04:46Yeah.
04:47But we got there.
04:48Who's the biggest partier out of you guys?
04:49Who's the biggest partier out of you?
04:50Have you met Kathryn O'Hara?
04:51Yeah.
04:52On her third martini.
04:54It's not even 9 o'clock.
04:56I'd be asleep in it.
04:58I'd say Peter, the writer.
04:59Oh, Pete Hite.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Yeah.
05:02And Evan, my co-writer, is also.
05:03Yeah, totally.
05:04Going on Evan, yeah.
05:05Very, very, loosely.
05:06We went to the sphere.
05:07That was the sort of...
05:08Yeah, we did.
05:09That was...
05:10Felt like a wrap.
05:11Yeah, we saw the...
05:12It was really fun.
05:13There was a lot of tie-dye on set after that.
05:15Yeah.
05:16I'm hoping to go out to the Sphere
05:18when the Backstreet Boys play later this year.
05:19Oh yeah.
05:20It's gonna be amazing.
05:21That's when I plan to be there.
05:22Easy.
05:23Anyway, thank you so much, guys.
05:25Like I say, the show is phenomenal.
05:28Thank you so much.
05:30Really appreciate it.
05:30Best TV show that they've seen in years.
05:32I don't think they're exaggerating.
05:34Genuinely, so, so good.
05:36Wow.
05:37Thank you so much.
05:38Wow, thank you.
05:40Thank you so much.
