Steve Toussaint

but don't tell anyone did you feel like a huge amount of pressure because of the um fandom around it well initially no to be it sounds naive now but once i got that wonderful feeling of getting the job after that i was kind of like yeah it's just another gig man you just got to learn the lines and tell the truth it was only when it was announced and there was this big reaction you go oh yeah people around the world watch this show and they will be waiting to see what happens so then

But you've got to put that pressure away.

You can't play people's pressure, man.

You've just got to play the role.

And they are.

They're extraordinary.

One of the things that they do is they try to cut down the amount of green screen so that you actually have the actual practical thing.

Oh, yeah, they still have to do that.

And we have a really massive naval battle beginning in the first episode of this season.

And so they built these wonderful big ships and that was great and you've got all that stuff.

But then the whole thing was just covered with green sheets.

Green, green, green sheets.

Yeah, and then the Lonnie, our director, would be down on the ground with a megaphone going, there's a dragon over there, look at that.

And so we'd have to look into that.

I've always loved that show.

I really liked, way back when, I liked The Wire.

I thought it was brilliant.

Classic.

That is due a hard re-watch.

Oh, yeah, too.
