You're listening to an iHeart Podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central.

Yeah, you definitely want to go method for a 12-hour shoot.

Yeah, well, Ray Liotta used to say you should just have your head stand upside down for, you know, a minute or two. But really, it's just about playing. It's just about finding your way around the set. Yeah. And trying to, you know, crash into things.

Well, you know, I probably wouldn't have touched this role if it wasn't for James Mangold. You know, as you said, he made Walk the Line. Very big shoes to fill playing Johnny Cash after walking Phoenix. But, you know, it was in the research that James had done with Bob, found that they were pen pals. And they'd written all these letters back and forth to each other.

Johnny had reached out to him in the beginning. So I saw the importance of Johnny and Bob's life at that time. And I've worked with Jim two previous times, and it's just the best working experience I've ever had. So it was definitely a leap of faith to go there. But, yeah, he's the captain.

Yeah, I reread them on the way over here, and they're written on the back of airplane sickness bags, and really just two guys at the, you know... the, you know, epic of fame.

Yeah.

Yeah, there was no spellcheck or autocorrect at that time. No.

You totally got us on that one. It was the Doritos of the era. Yeah, uh-huh. Yeah, you know, Jim has this great way of just finding these little moments in films. And if you come in prepared, we can, you know, have the Coke bottle flying off the car. We can create a prop in the car. It's just really coming up with those ideas. But why Bugles?

Because I think they're so... What are they? They're just... They're not in modern day, I guess.

Okay, good, okay. You kind of painted me into a corner, so, yeah. I'm glad.

I've kind of made a living playing all these little small characters in these films. And I prefer character work. But when you play an iconic person like this, you do have some sort of a pocket to be in. You know, there's the iconic voice that you're making an impression of. There's the sound of him. And so... I had two interviews that I just knew verbatim.

And if I went out to my own speaking voice, I could always refer back to that. So it's almost like you're in a pocket of an E or a certain, like a song is in C. So you just know where this character lies all the time.

Oh, gosh. You know, my whole thing with a legendary person like this, you really just don't want to tarnish their image. And to take this on was a real challenge. But in difference of character to this character, I would say there was a lot of pressure in terms of that, of just taking them out of the movie. And I think that's really the important part of this.

You can really get lost in this film and taken back to the 60s of when all this iconic music was being made in such a pivotal time.

I'm not riding on the back of any airplane sickness bags. I have my own heroes that I look up to. Michael Shannon is a great actor. He's from Kentucky. He really inspired me to be an actor. Christian Bale threw me a bone and brought me onto a film early in my career. You know, I think it's sometimes you don't want to meet your, you know, your heroes. Yeah, you know.

It was truly an honor. Truly an honor. And good luck.

So, yeah, just... I have some Sour Patches in my pocket. Sour Patches?
