Then getting to know the real guy and understanding it for all its complexities. It was just such a fucking gift.
when you're dealing with David and George, they're not interested in making the scene the funniest. It is journalistic integrity.
Everyone said like the dude's fucking larger than life in this tapestry. We're like 90% of the people I'm working with are not actors. What a fucking gift. And in that world at that time after Freddie to be able to go into Baltimore in Baltimore, the wire is like required watching for every cop, like, you know, for every gangster, for every community member.
Yeah, dude. And so like when you're saying, hey, I'm here with that, they open up to you. You make these unbelievable friends. But the experiences I had getting to play that role. Yeah, I'm just so grateful for it. I am so happy for you that you had that.
I have not. I saw his movie. I cannot wait to see this show.
My two oldest, they're your part. Man, it's like everything. How do I raise kind, empathetic, sturdy kids? young men protectors who take accountability. And there are things that I really feel my wife and I have gotten right. And there are things that I really feel like we haven't. And that is the rub. There are things that are unquestionably good. I think jujitsu is unquestionably good.
A martial art that doesn't require you to strike somebody, which causes the other person to get angry and scared and strike you back, or that is such violent with striking that they could fall down and hurt themselves, but it's a martial art of getting close, you hearing them breathe and say, hey, I'm right here and this needs to stop now. I got you, I'm with you.
To teach that to kids and to get them to have a facility in that and to be able to walk into a room and know that, that is an unquestionable skill. Good thing. Really having respect for nature, like getting outside, learning how to be outside, loving outside, doubling down on things that no one can take away from you. No one can take nature away from you. No one can take reading away from you.
No one can take music away from you. Giving them these solid touchstones to really see value in those things as kids. freaking huge. And then everyone says it and maybe I'll be proven wrong. It's sad, but the phone and the screen is the enemy. But I was raised the kids that were told don't ever touch beer. Don't ever touch sugar. Those are the kids like the second they got the shot there.
Oh, exactly. Right. So how do you do it? But I think what you can do is you can clown the fuck out of people who are always on their phones. That's what I do with my kids. I'm like, look at that family. That motherfucker has not gotten off. Like, how sad is that? Maybe that's not the best way. But it's a way. Hey, look, it's like Del Poynet. Like, that guy has not gotten off his phone.
But I do think that there are sort of undeniable things. Art and food and skills and travel.
That's really exciting. Again, not to be a cheese dick, but I do believe the greatest part of this thing is the people that you get to meet along the way. And in the first one, Ben and I really didn't get much time together. My character was sort of mysterious. You didn't know that they were brothers and they come together at the end. This one is the two of them together.
And Gavin O'Connor and Bill Dubuque, same writer and director. I don't know about for you guys, but as I'm getting older and older, I am just constantly looking for models of people that have really got it going. And Gavin's a guy that I really look at. He's been through it. He's been in those valleys. And I don't think you can be up in the mountaintops unless you've been in the valleys.
But he is just like a family first guy who takes his art super seriously. And I love him. And I've really found that with Ben. I just got done working with Matt on the Nolan film.
That's why I have this haircut.
Thanks, man. That is really. Talk about being anointed. Oh boy. You know, I knew Matt from Ford Ferrari, but I just think that what they're doing together with this company is so beyond beautiful and what we need. And I think in a way it's going to save this whole thing. They're artists first guys, but Ben is brilliant. Yeah. Intimidatingly so. Yeah, he really is such an incredible filmmaker.
And what I loved is on this film, he's the studio head and he's the lead actor, but he's not the director.
And it's such an interesting thing to sort of navigate, especially in that role. Through personal things in his life, he's really got a deeper connection to the role. And you can see it and you can feel it. I think he's brilliant in the movie. And we really had this awesome thing together.
That's a cool storyline. Really cool. And I think it's really personal to everybody who made it, which is the most important. Bill Dubuque, who wrote it, created Ozark. He's wonderful.
It does come from a really personal place. And I think that he writes family. And when you think about Gavin in the movies that he makes and sort of uncovering father issues and brother issues and masculinity, and these guys are all sort of like deep dive type guys.
