Hi. Hi, everybody.
Are you serious? Will and I have discovered that adult friendships require grace. But not too much grace, let me tell you.
Chapter 2: How did Thomas Doherty and the host become friends?
What do you mean?
Grace can only go so far.
Will and I haven't seen each other in about three months.
It's been a little too long.
Well, you've been writing in Nashville. Yes, I have. I've done some sessions. Will's new song, Worth Fighting For, is out now. You should all stream it. It's amazing. Any other life updates from you? Not really. My little Southern male. I mean, you've got a lot to cover, baby.
Like what? I don't know. I haven't seen you in a minute, so. Is this a little awkward or what?
Do you have any questions for me? No, I feel like we've covered a lot of the bases.
Yeah, I agree.
You don't watch Paradise? No, but I need to start. Did you watch season one?

Hi, pussy.
Well, you're in my favorite show on television.
Yeah, I know. You told me. How are you finding season two?
I think season two, I'm not even just saying this because you're in it. I think it's better than season one.
How was it starting on the outside of the bunker? Like, was that quite jarring?
I was upset. Okay. I was upset I missed the B. You know, I missed the bunker and I was like a little, I was, I don't know, I was like not, I'm sorry, I will just like to acknowledge how poorly that joke landed. Like, I really need to just like get that- Well, no one knew what you were saying. Unfortunately, she knew. Unfortunately, she knew. She knew.
And I just, like, I couldn't get through my next sentence without, like, acknowledging how bad that was. So now that we've gotten that out of the way, I did miss the bunker, okay? I did miss the bunker. I'm very happy for James Marsden.
I never worked with James, but he was always on set.
I'm so happy he wasn't, like, killed off, like, forever, forever, you know?

Chapter 6: How does Thomas view the role of ego in his professional life?
I'm not saying that that's applicable.

But there are little bits of truth in all of them.
But that's why she's hemorrhaging power.
No, but how would I be her son then?
I don't know. Okay, I didn't read. I didn't actually read the theory myself, but I was told it. Someone told you it.

No, it's Gorgine. Yeah. So much room for us to hang out. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we, yes, yes, you know. So what was it like working on Paradise? Oh, also, you want to know why I know there is time travel?
You don't know that there's time travel.
I do know that there's time travel. Okay. Okay. Alex, are you caught up to date? Yeah. Okay, so obviously they wouldn't just cast Shailene Woodley for four episodes of the fucking show. So we better get to time traveling quick because there's only eight episodes.
I can't confirm nor deny. How do you know she's in four episodes? I'm on the fourth and she just passed away.
Oh, yeah, that's very true. Yeah, so sad. What a great soundtrack, too. Good soundtrack.
Great soundtrack. Well, me and Shailene were going to try and do a cover of an Elvis song, but we never really got into it. I can sing a little bit. Did you sing in Rocky Horror? I've never been in Rocky Horror, but in Little Shop of Horror, I did sing, yeah. So what's the difference between those two? Completely different musicals written by different people at different times.

Chapter 8: How does Thomas suggest navigating relationships with difficult family members?
Yeah, so Little Shop is about a plant that comes to life. So what were you? I was a guy called Seymour. Main character? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was amazing. It was really cool to go from Paradise to then going to doing a musical. What's the difference? Oh, God, it's so different. I mean, I always feel like with film and TV, it's more you sign up for a lifestyle. I suppose you do for...
I like the lifestyle of being on film and TV. Of being on a film set? Why? I love being on a film set, and I love kind of traveling around the world to different locations to film. I also just love the structure that's around a film set. With theatre, as you know... I do. It's like... I mean, you have to go to the theatre at five, and so...
Yeah, you have the day up until five, but I mean, you don't get home until like 1030 or adrenaline. Did you sign after? Yeah, I would sign after. So that takes time. I mean, not as many people as you. How many people are there for you?
Like on a night to night basis, I would say like 80 to 100 people.
Should I be interviewing you? So what's it like being on Broadway?
Well, it's amazing. I do eight shows a week. How many shows do you do? Did you do? Eight shows a week.
Would you do theater again? Oh, my God. I can't wait to do theater again. Yeah, I would love to do like a play. I just think it's the best practice for any actor is theater, you know?
Well, you said that you didn't have a choice whether to be an actor or not.
Yeah, no choice. Why? I don't know. I mean, it's just like... I was going to, I was going to go to university to do history, but I was like, like, who am I kidding? I can't think of doing. Oh my God. Like you want to be a history teacher? Not a history teacher, but like, I don't even know what I wanted to do. I just loved history.
