Part 1

0:06So let's talk about homeland. Where are you, I guess you're done shooting? Or have you started yet? Where are you? No, we haven't started shooting season three. That was the quest, right? Yeah, not done. And about, I think, around six months. We'll start. The writers are back from, you know, holidays and they're all kind of, I think they're starting to work on it right now. I don't know what they do. They smoke cigars, they sit around, they cauldron. I don't know. I don't know what they do to come up with it, but it's good stuff. How do you get into character? What's your process? When do you feel like you're in? Probably about three or four drinks. Yeah, absolutely. It's a nice face, no. Um, never know what's going to come out. Yeah, no, it's all good. It'll be fun. It's good. I mean, there's something about putting on the uniform, getting the set, you know, the materials. So it's a costume. Yeah, yeah, I mean, like, it's one of those things where,

0:53you get in that world and all of a sudden, it just kind of starts happening. Did you create a backstory for your character? Like, how did you prepare for the role? I had research talked to as many people as possible. Talk to the creators. We had a great military advisor on set. I was fortunate enough to do some other projects, you know, where I got to meet some men and women that served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and just to be able to talk to them helped out a lot. So what are you working on now? If you're on a hiatus from Poland? Well, right now, we're just trying to find the next job. Trying to, you know, get through the awards season and find the next project that's, you know. What would you like to do? It's not. I mean, there's nothing in particular. I mean, I ran into Judd Apatow and I begged him for a job.

1:39Well, you seem like a funny guy. I think we're going to go off. That's funny at all. You're a cracking jokes left center here. That doesn't mean I'm funny when I act. I'm kidding. We're just trying to find the right project. I mean, it's hard to, it's a blessing and it occurs to be on such a great show because, you know, you read other projects and you just go, I'm spoiled. I'm spoiled with such a great material. It's not very, yeah. Cool, man. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Best of luck with the.

Part 2

0:05Good afternoon. Here to see assistant director Harold Cooper. Tell him it's Raymond Redington. Stop, man. You just keep flattering, man. Yeah. Well, last time you were cracking jokes. Last time I saw you. Me? Never. This is actually. So on the right card, I've been in the wrong card. Defined as vodka. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Good to see you. Look at this guy. OK, there's no camera on me. I thought the same. Come on, get in here. You were saying you just saw Joe D'Appetow. You were kind of looking to get into a comedy. This, not so much comedy. I know. I'm a man of my word. Yeah, I mean, this is a great. I don't know. I'm up for anything that's a good story.

0:52It's compelling, good character. So whether it's comedy or a little dark drama. So no, it's a very, very interesting show. Then what's it about for those good? Well, the most wanted man on the FBI's list turns himself in and tells them that he has actually 100 of the world's best criminals and he's going to help them track them down, except he says that he's only going to work with them if he has this one agent, you know? So one agent who's kind of like his liaison and that girl is just fresh out of Quantico. She has a history of her own. So you have to figure out who she is and track down these criminals. Why I'm here.

1:38One man, his name is Rancos Zamani. You want it? I want it. So let's say our interests are aligned. From this point forward, there's one very important rule. I speak only with Elizabeth Keene. Who has Elizabeth Keene? Where do you fit into all that? I was case agent in charge of Raymond Ritington for years. So kind of watching over him. Ritington, the spater? Yes. Yeah. So I'm a little suspect of him, obviously. And I'm also trying to figure out who this girl is. And you know, what's she all about? What the hell was he in my house? Calm down. Tell me what happened. Don't play stupid. Your husband doesn't matter. Zamani, did you a favor? You'll never know what he do. No.

2:23You tell me how I find Zamani and make this right, or I let you die right here. So while I was doing research for this, it seems like we talked to the Globes three days later, the internet's blew up being like, he goes the man for all the pilot season. This is the guy you got again. Yeah. So out of all the roles that were chosen, why this one? For all the roles that were thrown at you. It was pretty simple. I mean, there was a lot of pilots. And thankfully, we had quite a few come our way. And this one was just a page turner. I mean, I read it. I'd heard about it, actually. And the whispers of this show called The Blacklist. And finally got a copy of the script and called it My Guys Right Away. And we've got to get on this. Like, what can we do? And it's just a great story, great character.

3:09So very excited. Yeah, I'll let you go. Thanks. All right, great to see you again. Yeah, you too.
