Paul Walter Hauser

And after he yelled cut, he was like, dude, that's genius.

And it was like, that gave me a sort of a tick and a motivation to like always be prepared, be ready to improvise.

And some of the actors I admire most, like the late Catherine O'Hara or Christopher Guest, they had that improv thing where they can be put in a Christopher Guest movie and just

go off so i thought well why not bring that to every genre you do and at least have it ready so that that's something i do that might might stand out there there are things in movies or trailers

where I go, oh, they kept that.

And it feels like a little internal badge of honor that they liked your improv.

Yeah, yeah.

There's a moment in I, Tonya where, and Steven Rogers wrote this perfect screenplay.

It certainly didn't need improv.

But there was a moment in I, Tonya where I say, the original line I say to Sebastian Stan was something like, I have this friend, Derek.

He could do it for about $1,000.

Talking about the hit on Nancy Kerrigan.

Yeah.

And I thought, wouldn't it be funny if he said I shouldn't even be saying his name?

Derek.

Because it's like, who would be suspicious if you just say the first name?

So it's like a little joke I threw in on take two or three.

And they were like, oh, keep that.

We like that.

And that was cool.
