Hi, my name is Nicholas Holt. And I feel truly happy about being Conan O'Brien's friend.
Yeah.
Have we started? Is this it?
I was thinking about friendship on the drive here. Were you really? Yeah. Well, I was thinking about how L.A. is quite a lonely town in many ways. Anyway, we don't have to get into it too deep. Well, no, we should, because you live in L.A. now. Yeah, well, technically down in Long Beach, yeah, so LBC.
Friendship canceled.
I do like Pasadena. Well, there's a Huntington Library and Gardens. Yeah, you want to be friends? Well, we don't go there anymore because it's too far now. I understand. I think I've lost control of this interview completely. Basically, I'm here looking for friends.
It was a dream of a role because Tony McNamara's writing is so smart. And that was the thing. I kind of discovered that character along the way as everyone else did because he wrote the favorite as well that I was in. And then after that, he said, oh, I've got this other script. And it was at that point a feature script for The Great. And I'd worked with Elle before.
He said he was going to ask Elle to play Catherine and she's wonderful as you know. And I knew I had a fantastic time working with her previously. So I was excited about all the components and then he turned it into a show. But when we started shooting, we only had like a couple of episodes, two or three episodes. So then it was kind of as we went, we would get more of the episodes as we shot.
So it was kind of like, I'd read it and I'd be like, oh, this is terrible. Very funny, but terrible. Yeah.
horrible character right who's just punched his wife and all these things but then but then you'd start to eke out all the things that made him human and tick and the white the way the way he is and and how ridiculous he is in very humorous ways so it was kind of it was definitely all down to him his writing basically okay yes great writing but i thought you and l together one of my favorite couples i've seen on tv in memory and uh and also uh we had the best time
It's a very aggressive word.
It's hilarious. A real foodie. Yeah, a real foodie. One of the redeeming things about him is his foodie nature, but also he's very open. It's exactly what you see is what you get. Yes. And I think that's one of the things that people can appreciate about him. It's not very common that you see someone who tells you exactly what they're thinking when they're thinking it.
And that is truly incredible, his performance, because, you know, the characters aren't described. There's not, like, any of the bellowing and breathing and all those things that Douglas added. And I remember being in scenes with him when we first started shooting. You'd hear him constantly, like, swallowing his own burps and stuff. And none of that was in the script.
It was just something that he brought to the character and was so hilarious that there were times that we had to, like, cut and stop scenes because the rest of us would be giggling so much at just how he...
That's the one, two, three, four. And breathing down the line.
His recent one's coming out soon, right? Heretic? Heretic, yeah. I saw the trailer. It looks great. It looks amazing.
He's so good in Paddington 2.
It's brilliant. He is truly brilliant.
I still think the other day I was thinking about, and I think a lot of my sense of humor probably stems down a little bit from him. Mm-hmm. And also just, you know, how he was on set. He was so dedicated to the work and professional and kind and good with everyone and just really, really deeply cared about doing a good job himself and making the film good.
And I think I couldn't have had a better experience at that sort of age in terms of just learning and watching people and being like, okay, this is how it's supposed to be and how it's supposed to be done.
