[Music] [Applause] [Music] f ju juice Michael ju ju juice [Music] you know the ble juice is a movie that I think we we used to remember who wew when we saw it and when we see it again we do that does that happen to you oh yeah I mean you know my job is different from yours all you have to do is look at it I have to actually be him um so yeah I mean it took a little a bit you know I I made sure I I watched the movie again uh before we started working on the second one and um I I don't know how I'd have done it had had I not watched again but then when once we started I just we just kind of clicked right back in because you improvise a lot right so it must be so much fun just it is this this script was we didn't improvise as much but you all you you're always doing these kind of things but we yeah we created a lot and the movie gets improvised you know Tim is also adaptable but but what's interesting about him is he can only adapt so much because his visual image is so clear in his head that he sets up what it's going to look like and then you have to you can improvise but inside that you know and then he'll adjust a little bit but basically you know you're working inside his frames absolutely um I know you you're a new you're a newspaper man because you post a lot of Clips so as a newspaper person I thank you for that oh yeah I know I worry the newspapers are going to disappear yeah you said that and you studed in Spotlight but that you would have also been a journalist if yeah yeah I studed me I took one course and I thought oh might think I might want to do this uh yeah I thought about it I thought it seriously about it for a minute yeah so if you would have been a journalist why would you have asked not Michael Kon but Beetle Juice himself um what is the matter with you oh um oh I have a lot of questions like where you come from you know from what time are you you know what happens to you when we don't see you you know uh yeah and can you can you get me tickets to beet juice Beetle Juice [Laughter] for [Applause] for [Music] for this story is amazing for many reasons but uh it is a portrait of Good and Evil politics and power and how it affect us uh so what do you take away from a story like this in as an actors I mean I think it's you're right it's a story about the corruption of how power can corrupt and I think that's a big Tolen thing too um he returns to it a lot um and certainly in my as I said earlier you know you you're you see him being pulled towards something trying to resist and that happens across all of Middle Earth as well you see people grappling with with trying to overcome the evil that is spreading throughout the whole of Middle Earth because now Sauron is unmasked um his his Web is starting to be spread across the whole the whole of Middle Earth yeah in this part of the story your characters are are facing so many things and uh so many challenges your character is blind and your character is going to be the support for her so H how was that relationship yeah I mean I think to me the main aspect to their relationship at the end of season one and coming into season two is is the trust and Trust built on shared grief shared loss shared experience season 2 there's this really beautiful evolution of they trust each other in in a time when are very few people around them that they are able to to trust or at least you know in a way that they could before so it's really sort of pushes their relationship and ultimately they both have their individual Journeys and individual challenges that ultimately they do have to face alone it it is also a a portrait of a good and evil it is a portrait of a power and and politics so what do you take away from a story like this how the effects of power the effects of how uh all of us are subject to this idea of the Fall the fall from Eden the loss of Innocence but the fact that ego and pride will will push you to make the wrong decisions I also think with politics you know I I love the sort of political Intrigue of numor but I also think the politics are personal you know it really is about your personal belief your personal view of what direction you think Society should go in and so it goes deeper than just a political belief it's really about this is this is my world this is a story that thousands of people uh love because they are or read the books or watch the movies now they serious so uh I would like you to tell me what was your first encounter with tolin and his Universal recently um for me it was the films it was Peter Jackson's films and I'd seen them many years ago uh and so when I was first approached and and got to audition for this series in my mind I thought well where do I fit into this story you know what what type of character is it going to be um and and I was excited because I felt like if you're going to bring the Lord of the Rings you know into the Here and Now into the present day I feel like you have a responsibility really to present Middle Earth the way the Earth is I can see myself and I get to represent myself and my culture and my family and people I know in this story um I I mean specifically about when I was first introduced to to talking I was like 11 years old and I read The Hobbit it was the first book I'd read on my own and I I don't think I obviously hadn't read anything like it and it still stuck with me the imagery there and then seeing the films and and reading some of the books but then coming to this project all of a sudden it was all about the second age and that was brand new to me and S marilan and things that that talken had written his think for me it was reading The Hobbit when I was probably 7 years old um perhaps I read it at school I can't remember who introduced me to it but I was very captivated by it and I think it's I think it just a about talken I think it's to do with the struggle of the of the underdog I think that's his kind of that's his sort of backbone throughout all his novels and I think that's what makes him so popular but I I I my introduction was the Peter Jackson Trilogy uh the movies and then um I think since then I just sort of when I got this job I I just delved into the books and they're fascinating and and and much different in a way cuz my my interpretation of talking was sort of shaked by the films in the way that yours was kind of in done in Reverse you already you had a world you you had an interpretation of it yeah and then the movies that are interpretation is it's his own thing right exactly yeah and then it brings us onto this show which is own it's its own interpretation as well and I think in a way that the movies were a Gateway for me I hope that this show is going to be a gateway to other young people watching the [Music] show for [Music] [Applause] [Music]
