## Transcript

[0:04] All the rent movies. Hi everyone, welcome to the
[0:38] first episode of ATR Meets the movie interview show brought to
[0:42] you by All the Right Movies. My name is Luke.
[0:45] In this brand new show, we talk to actresses, actors, people in
[0:48] the movie world about their best love films.
[0:50] Our regular podcast on classic and hit films that comes out
[0:53] every two weeks. But we'll put these interviews
[0:55] out as and when we get them in between our classic pod.
[0:59] So let's get into it. Here's my conversation with our
[1:01] first guest of honour, Mr. Michael Rapaport.
[1:08] You got a hell of a lot of cocaine here man.
[1:15] I don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out.
[1:18] All I got is. Fucking Floyd need your help
[1:26] trying to kill me. There's a female scumbag behind
[1:35] me with a gun tucked away in a shirt, trying to pass herself
[1:38] off as a hostage. And there's a special on toilet
[1:40] paper 4 for $1.29. It's a lot of toilet paper.
[1:47] Look, I already told the doc I locked the pen like I do every
[1:49] other night. The fish got out some other way.
[1:59] It's sexier up on stage, but other than that, you got no kind
[2:02] of face at all. And you're fat but me.
[2:04] I've always been attracted to it.
[2:06] Louie, do you understand? I can't lose my gun.
[2:16] I'm going to build you the best damn Ingle you've ever seen.
[2:25] It's always been you and Sam, you know.
[2:28] He started talking to me and no, I I didn't want to lose that.
[2:38] I'm an actor. So here we are, first episode of
[2:45] All the Right Movies meets and I'm speaking to TV movie star,
[2:48] award-winning documentary film maker, stand up comic and of
[2:51] course podcaster Mr. New York himself.
[2:53] It is Michael Rappaport. How are you doing, Mike?
[2:56] I'm good, I'm good. Thanks for having me.
[2:59] Great to have you on the show. Big fan.
[3:00] Big fan. Thank you.
[3:01] Thank you. So what we're going to do is
[3:03] just take a look back at some of your films, and I've got a few
[3:06] questions about a few of them. All right, let's do it.
[3:09] We're going to jump off with True Romance.
[3:11] It's a film that we love, personal favorite.
[3:13] We've covered it on the show as well.
[3:15] So in that, it's a Tarantino script, obviously directed by
[3:18] Tony Scott. Tarantino said in the past that
[3:20] when he writes a character, he writes each of them as if
[3:23] they're going to be the main character.
[3:25] Did you get a sense of that with your character, Dick Ritchie?
[3:28] Well, I think every actor thinks they're the main character in
[3:31] any film. But I mean, obviously, you know,
[3:35] I didn't, I wasn't aware of him saying that at the time, you
[3:38] know, and and he, he, he, you know, he didn't have as many
[3:40] quotable things as he he does now, although he was everybody
[3:44] was excited about working with him.
[3:47] But it makes a lot of sense. I mean, it makes a lot of sense
[3:49] that he says that and and he applies it.
[3:52] You know, I mean, I think Quentin is like a modern day,
[3:54] sort of like, you know, he's like a spokesperson for film and
[3:57] loving film and loving actors and loving writing and loving
[4:01] the process. And I'll just kind of tell you,
[4:03] I mean, you know, working on that movie, you know, was the
[4:07] only movie that I ever did that I knew was going to be good.
[4:10] Everybody knew it was going to be good.
[4:12] It just, you had a feeling with the the late, great Tony Scott,
[4:17] his enthusiasm, his energy, his leadership, his command of a
[4:22] set, his respect for actors. You know, he was very, very
[4:27] instrumental for me because, you know, I'm a young actor and, you
[4:31] know, you, you want to try things and, you know, you want
[4:34] to have a voice. And I would ask him, can I try
[4:36] this? Can I try that?
[4:37] And sometimes you would say, yeah, sometimes you would say
[4:40] nay. But he always said keep asking.
[4:43] Keep, you know, he, he encouraged me to have a voice.
[4:46] And at the time, I think I was 23 or 24 years old.
[4:49] It meant a lot to me that he was doing that and that I knew that
[4:53] you were allowed to do that because I was kind of feeling
[4:55] out the rules of what it is to be on a film set and to work
[4:59] with a big director. And, you know, you hear all
[5:02] these stories and all that stuff.
[5:03] And he, he, that'll be something that I'll always remember and
[5:07] appreciate about working with him, along with the fact that he
[5:11] was just so generous with everybody and just so
[5:13] encouraging. You know, the script, this is at
[5:16] a time where there was no e-mail.
[5:18] You know, you physically read the script and the script was
[5:22] being passed around and everybody was excited about it.
[5:24] Off the the heels of Reservoir Dogs and Natural Born Killers
[5:29] had been made. I think Natural Born Killers
[5:32] have been made. And you heard about that,
[5:35] although it didn't come out. I think that movie actually
[5:38] premiered. I don't remember when that movie
[5:40] premiered, but I know I've heard about that.
[5:42] So the juice, there's a lot of excitement about Quentin
[5:44] Tarantino and, you know, and then the cast came together and
[5:47] it was working with all these people that I had grown up
[5:50] watching, you know, from Christian Slater to obviously
[5:54] Gary Oldman and Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper and
[5:59] everybody else that was in the in the film.
[6:01] You know, the transition from really being a professional
[6:04] actor and a fan. I hadn't made that.
[6:07] I mean, I still very much of AA fan, but at the time I was still
[6:11] more of a fan than I was a professional working actor.
[6:14] So that excitement was it was exciting going to the set with
[6:20] Tom Sizemore and Chris Penn and, you know, everybody that showed
[6:24] up on that said it was just very exciting to be a part of it.
[6:27] You know, you're young, you know, it's like, you know, your
[6:30] first loves. It's like your first affairs.
[6:32] It's like your first dates. You know, it's it's it's your
[6:35] first time smelling, you know, this kind of success.
[6:39] So it was. It was really cool.
[6:41] Awesome. You tend to forget that there
[6:44] are that many people because I suppose like Hopper walk and and
[6:48] all the big boys are in there. You forget about Chris Payne,
[6:50] Tom Sizemore in the scenes that kind of you're not necessarily
[6:55] with those guys. So maybe at the end, the final
[6:57] scene, they show up. So the cast that you didn't
[7:01] necessarily see during the scenes of the film, did you
[7:03] mingle? Did you talk to them?
[7:05] Oh yeah. I mean, I would go to the set
[7:07] when I wasn't working just to be around, you know, I'd find
[7:11] excuses to go to the set or if I had to do wardrobe or something
[7:14] like that, I would stay and, you know, just lurk around, you
[7:18] know, like I remember just lurking around, you know, me and
[7:21] the actor Kevin Cork. And we were so excited to, you
[7:24] know, meet Christopher Walken. And, you know, I was there on
[7:27] set with the famous Dennis Hopper, you know, Italian
[7:31] American history scene with Christopher Walken.
[7:35] And of course, James Gandolfini. He was, he was very, very, very
[7:38] young actor too. He hadn't done anything.
[7:41] And Patricia Arquette, who I had just seen in Indian Runner,
[7:45] which is a film I really like by Sean Penn.
[7:47] I mean, so I was just around and I was extremely excited.
[7:51] And, you know, there was a bigger part of me that was a fan
[7:54] than was a professional actor, you know.
[7:58] So of course it was, it was cool and it was exciting to, to and
[8:01] of course Brad Pitt. I mean, it was, you know, it
[8:04] was, it was a dope, dope thing to be a part of.
[8:06] Was there any any in the cast or crew, anybody that you took
[8:09] particular inspiration from? Was anybody one that stood out?
[8:12] Well, Kevin Corrigan and I were friends, so we were really
[8:15] excited. I wouldn't say I took
[8:18] inspiration while making the movie or in general.
[8:21] Just in general. Well, I mean, obviously
[8:23] Christopher Walken has inspired all actors.
[8:26] Gary Oldman has inspired all actors.
[8:29] Dennis Hopper has inspired all actors.
[8:32] You know, those guys are staples of particularly, you know,
[8:37] testosterone driven actors, male actors, you know, who were
[8:41] inspired by the 60s, seventies, 80s, you know, those films,
[8:46] those performances, you know, they, they, they've inspired all
[8:49] of us, everybody. There's not any, there's not an
[8:51] actor who will not bring up those people and and light up,
[8:56] you know, like I said, you know, just did little exchanges with
[8:59] them on the set, you know, you know, at the craft service, you
[9:02] know, they're treating me like I'm one of them, you know, and
[9:05] I'm like, what the fuck? You know, Val Kilmer.
[9:08] Val Kilmer was, you know, in it. Samuel Jackson, you know, was in
[9:12] it. I mean, this is like a exciting
[9:14] time for for a young actor who's a a real fan too.
[9:17] So, you know, there there wasn't any, you know, I didn't get any
[9:21] any, you know, sort of interviews are, are with them.
[9:25] But, you know, I mean, these are all people that I, I've, I've,
[9:28] I've looked up to and been inspired from and, you know,
[9:31] watch their movies, you know, at the time over on VCR, rewinding
[9:35] them on VCR, rewinding the scenes of, you know, Samuel
[9:38] Jackson in school days. And then of course, Jungle
[9:41] Fever. These were movies that I had
[9:42] seen beforehand and you know, and all the Dennis Hopper stuff
[9:46] and Apocalypse Now and all the, the, the Christopher Walken.
[9:50] I mean, that was like fucking dope.
[9:51] And Chris Penn and you know, I mean, you know, I grew up
[9:54] watching Chris Penn and you know, we weren't that much
[9:56] different in age, you know, like, you know, I grew up
[9:58] watching those, those movies at close range and all that stuff.
[10:01] So it was cool to to be a part of.
[10:04] It awesome. Well, I, I want to talk
[10:07] specifically about that roller coaster scene, if you don't
[10:09] mind. I've read reports that you
[10:10] weren't like a massive fan of roller coasters, so could you
[10:14] talk about your experience of of filming that scene?
[10:17] Yeah, I mean, I had a tough time doing the roller coaster scene.
[10:20] I was not still, I'm not. I think that was the one and
[10:23] only time I went on a roller coaster.
[10:25] I haven't been on one since. But I had a really, really,
[10:28] really hard time, you know, on a loop, you know, I was, I was
[10:31] scared shit, you know, and I was, you know, nervous and I
[10:35] didn't want to do it. And Tony Scott was like begging
[10:38] me to do it. And then the more scared and
[10:40] more freaked out I got, the more he thought it was fucking
[10:42] hilarious. But I remember being in the van
[10:45] back to LA because it was at Magic Mountain.
[10:47] I remember being back in, in the van after I had thrown up and
[10:51] all that stuff. And, you know, I, I, I was in
[10:53] the van with Patricia Arquette. And I remember, you know, like
[10:56] her saying, it's OK, it's OK. And I was like, I thought I, you
[10:59] know, it was, it had induced such fear and anxiety in me that
[11:02] I thought I was going to die. I remember being in the van
[11:05] after thinking I was going to die.
[11:07] And The funny thing is, is the only scenes that they reshot
[11:10] into romance are the roller coaster scenes, the footage, I
[11:13] think the camera was vibrating too, too much.
[11:15] But if you watch it really closely, you know, I'm in the
[11:18] background. You could see some of the
[11:20] footage from the first day of shooting it and then when we had
[11:23] to come back and shoot it again. So, you know, it's fun.
[11:27] It's something I always remember.
[11:28] And Tony Scott just thought it was hilarious because he was
[11:30] like a man's man, you know, like he was like, you know, he just
[11:33] was like, you're a pussy, you know, and, but very sweet, you
[11:36] know, like very, very sweet and encouraging.
[11:38] Like he was dope. He's from, from Mike, part of
[11:41] the world. Tony Scott, I think he was.
[11:43] He was born around about 2020 miles from where I am.
[11:46] Oh, that's cool. Yeah, I I think Pinchot didn't
[11:50] like the the roller coaster either.
[11:51] I think he had a terrible time with it as well.
[11:53] He had a terrible time with it. Christian Slater, I remember,
[11:56] was fine with it. I know I was not happy with it.
[12:00] Yeah, no, I mean, I forget about it.
[12:02] I I was OK when I was a kid, but right now there's no way I would
[12:05] go on one. But you you're good at pulling
[12:07] clips. If you pull the clips of the
[12:09] roller coaster, you'll see. Like when I'm smiling.
[12:11] That was the second day, the second that was the reshoots.
[12:15] And then you'll see like there's one where I'm like all freaked
[12:17] out. There was no acting like I like,
[12:19] because they had given me like, I don't know, a Xanax or some
[12:22] shit the second time around because I was and I was like
[12:24] smiling and like, you know, I, I remember just being horrified
[12:29] because it loop, you know, like those roller coaster loops are
[12:32] they're terrible. Yeah, So what Xanax?
[12:34] What is that? Like sedation or?
[12:36] Some sort of sedation or, you know, they gave me some sort of
[12:39] pill. I mean, it's worth it.
[12:41] It's a great scene. Yeah, it was definitely worth
[12:43] it. So Fast forward four years, I'm
[12:47] going to talk about Copland. You played Superboy in that one,
[12:50] Murray Babbage. And at this point in your
[12:53] career, you're living in LA. Is that right?
[12:56] At that point, actually I was living in New York, but I mean I
[12:59] had lived in LAII had a place in LA, but it when we were doing
[13:02] Copland, I actually was living in New York.
[13:05] OK, cool. I mean like on the streets of
[13:07] New York. What was it like kind of being
[13:09] being back shooting in your own backyard?
[13:13] Shooting Copland in New York City was a dream come true.
[13:18] You know, the energy of shooting in New York City is, is always
[13:21] great. Yeah.
[13:22] Now, then and, and, and every day before or after, you know,
[13:27] New York is just, it's like its own personal sound stage.
[13:31] And, you know, it was again, you know, the first day of work was
[13:35] the last scene of the movie. And, you know, I got to show up
[13:40] on set. I had rehearsed with Sylvester
[13:42] Stallone, who's truly the first person whoever made me think
[13:48] about I I actually didn't make me want to think about being an
[13:51] actor, but that Rocky was the first movie that like hit me.
[13:55] You know, it came out in 1976. I was six years old.
[13:58] And it hit me. I understood it on an emotional
[14:00] level, although I couldn't articulate it, I understood it
[14:03] on the on every level. And I saw it over and over and
[14:07] over and over and over and over and over again and all the other
[14:09] films. But, you know, I got to rehearse
[14:11] with him and then the, you know, and then that was that was, you
[14:15] know, crazy. You have to like, you know, be
[14:17] professional and you know, it's. Your idol as well.
[14:22] As Idol, Idol. And then, you know, but the
[14:25] first day it was it was Stallone, it was Robert De Niro,
[14:29] Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta. Holy shit.
[14:33] And you know, and like, you know, we, we, we just like any
[14:36] other scene, you know, there was a lot of people around 'cause we
[14:38] were at One Police Plaza, which is a busy area in New York.
[14:42] And you know, we, we, we sort of met on the set real quick.
[14:45] And, you know, during the day it was busy area and, you know, we
[14:48] ran lines and we talked about the scene with James Mangold
[14:52] and, and then we started shooting, but I was just like,
[14:54] oh, shit, like this is fucking crazy.
[14:56] Like I was like, this is crazy. And, you know, to be with all of
[15:00] those guys in one day was a lot to take in.
[15:02] But I was also like, you know, I was very aware, like, you know,
[15:06] I wasn't fading out like I, I, I know that those kinds of actors,
[15:10] they'll only respect you if you bring your fucking best, like,
[15:14] you know, So yeah, I wasn't like they, they didn't know how
[15:18] exciting it was for me, but I was very excited.
[15:20] But I also was like, I want to, you know, I'm here to kick ass.
[15:23] Also, you know, it's not like sports.
[15:25] You know, I'm fascinated with sports when I ask of players,
[15:29] like when they played against their idols and the reference
[15:31] talk, playing against, you know, Allen Iverson or Kobe Bryant or
[15:36] Michael Jordan, I've done that on my pockets.
[15:38] This is different because you're not competing with them, you're
[15:41] performing with them. Whether you're antagonist or a
[15:46] protagonist. With them, you're in a jazz
[15:49] ensemble for the day. So that jazz ensemble was an
[15:54] exciting group of people to be around.
[15:56] I was doing my thing, but I was, you know, very well aware of who
[16:00] I was with. And you know, what my goals were
[16:03] for the scene and, and I was focused and excited.
[16:06] But, you know, shooting down there and the energy of shooting
[16:09] in New York, particularly that movie, and there was such an
[16:11] excitement on that movie. And there was such an excitement
[16:14] for me to be in the movie was, you know, I still have that kind
[16:18] of excitement when I go to work, especially in New York.
[16:21] You know, I still have that, you know, I'm doing something now.
[16:25] And we were shooting on, you know, in Riverside Park the
[16:27] other day. And, and I, I, I still have
[16:30] that. I don't take it for granted.
[16:31] And I still get up for it. And I still am very much aware
[16:36] of the honour of being an actor and the appreciation for it.
[16:43] And there's a big part of me that's still a a a real fan of
[16:46] it. Yeah, I mean, it's such an
[16:49] amazing place to to shoot. I've been in New York a few
[16:51] times and it's just like every corner is is iconic.
[16:55] Right, every corner is that. I mean, I just found a place
[16:58] this morning in the neighborhood that I've grown up in, like a
[17:02] little dead end St. I never saw in my life. 51
[17:06] years. I've I've I'm, I'm born and
[17:08] raised in New York City and I just found a like a new street
[17:11] today and I was like, oh shit, you know, so, you know, I, I I
[17:15] love New York and, and you know, like I said, it's, it's the best
[17:17] place to shoot a movie or or a show, whatever.
[17:20] It's the best place to shoot a video, an Instagram video,
[17:23] whatever. Is that the thing that you're
[17:25] doing with Amy Schumer that you've?
[17:26] Been shooting? Yeah, that's how I was talking
[17:28] about. Yup.
[17:28] How's it going? It's going good.
[17:30] She's great. She's, you know, not just a
[17:32] great performer, but, you know, I've been very impressed with
[17:35] Amy Schumer as the showrunner. You know, there's a few
[17:40] directors directing, you know, the episodes and, you know, and
[17:43] I know she didn't write, you know, she's had writers.
[17:46] But everything goes through her. And it's not an easy thing to
[17:52] have to answer everybody's questions about everything.
[17:56] She's very impressive. She's she's very talented, very
[17:59] impressive and has a very cool, very good disposition as being
[18:04] the, the boss on the set. And, and not everybody, like I
[18:08] told her, I said, yeah, I wouldn't be able to be as chill
[18:11] as you are on a set. Like you're fucking chill, you
[18:14] know, and, and, and, but in control.
[18:16] So I, I have seen she's, she's dope.
[18:20] She's she's, she's, she's dope. I mean, it must be tough as
[18:23] well, on top of everything, having to deal with the pandemic
[18:27] and extra restrictions and extra things that you've got to put in
[18:31] place because of that as well. Yeah, yeah, all of it.
[18:34] The the testing and the masks and the mask police, because
[18:37] every set we have our mask police, which you know, they're,
[18:40] they're good. We need them.
[18:41] And and you know, they're, they're, I know it's a thankless
[18:43] job, but you know, they have to remind everybody you know, of of
[18:48] you know where we've come from because it's easy to forget,
[18:50] because we all want to forget what we've dealt with.
[18:53] But yeah, but but it, it, you know, it's going well and I'm
[18:55] looking forward to, I have no idea when it's coming out, but
[18:57] I'm sure it won't. It, it'll be out soon.
[18:59] And it's called life and Beth. And you know, it's, it's a dope
[19:04] cast. And like I said, she's she's,
[19:06] she's, she's dope. Awesome.
[19:09] I'll look out for it. Sounds great.
[19:11] Just going to come back to Copland, Mike.
[19:14] I remember when the film came out actually, and and I remember
[19:17] there was a lot of hype surrounding it.
[19:19] It was like Stallone's come back and he was putting on weird.
[19:22] And that cast is like it's out of control.
[19:25] Not just the big boys like De Niro and Stallone, Keitel
[19:29] Liotta, but like the supporting cast, Jeanine Garofalo,
[19:32] Annabelle Shiora, Peter Berg. Ronnie, I mean.
[19:35] It's just unbelievable. Unbelievable.
[19:38] I think there's about 5 future Sopranos cast in there as well.
[19:42] Frank Vincent's in there. Right, right, right, right.
[19:45] So did it feel like you were part of something special?
[19:47] No one. You had that cat because maybe
[19:49] some of them weren't as big names as they are now, but the
[19:53] talent was there. So. 100.
[19:54] Percent You were part of something.
[19:55] Special 100%. It felt like it was part of
[19:57] something special. And you know, it was the the
[19:59] golden era of the Miramax run and the Weinsteins were
[20:04] incredibly good at marketing and, and building excitement and
[20:08] branding their films. And it was fun being on the set.
[20:12] There was a bunch of Sopranos people, a bunch of Goodfellas
[20:14] people, Frank Vincent, the late, great Frank Vincent, my friend
[20:18] Edie Falco, who I've known for a, a a long time.
[20:22] This is before Carmella. And, you know, sometimes, you
[20:26] know, everybody knows Carl. I don't even have to say.
[20:28] Carmela Soprano I, I feel like, you know, people that are
[20:30] listening to your podcast, they, they know what's up.
[20:33] Yeah. It was, it was, you know, like I
[20:35] said, it was, it was just like, you know, there's been a few
[20:38] films that I've got to work with, like True Romance and
[20:40] Copland Beautiful Girls, where I got to work with people that,
[20:43] that I just just have the utmost respect for.
[20:46] And, and I get excited about working with them, you know,
[20:49] and, and performing with them and getting to know them and,
[20:53] you know, maybe even asking a question or two, you know,
[20:55] because I'm curious, you know, like, you know, like Matt Dillon
[21:00] and, and beautiful girls, like that's my fucking dude.
[21:02] Matt Dillon was my fucking dude, you know, so to work with him
[21:06] and then like we're friends and shit like that.
[21:09] That was, that was cool. So, you know, same thing with
[21:11] the with Copland and Peter Berg and you know, and this is before
[21:15] he directed his first film and that whole crew of people,
[21:18] Jeanne Garofalo, who I had known because I did stand up comedy
[21:21] with her when I first started doing stand up comedy in in in
[21:26] like 1990. She was very, very supportive of
[21:30] me as a comic. It was fun.
[21:32] You know, Arthur Noscarelli was in it.
[21:34] I mean, it was, it was dope being in their film.
[21:37] Like every scene there's somebody knew a different face
[21:39] and think oh shit, that person or that's this guy or that girl.
[21:42] It's it's amazing. Yeah it was cool and it's a
[21:44] great film as well, really stands the test of time.
[21:47] But it feels to me like it was like 1/2 back to the 70s.
[21:51] Like drama thrillers set in New York, like the Sydney Lou Met
[21:54] films and stuff. As soon as I started re watching
[21:56] it, it felt just like. That definitely, definitely it
[21:59] was, it was like a New York film and, you know, and, and, and
[22:02] Carvey Kaitel, I mean, all those people were just, they were
[22:04] really cool, you know, I mean, Stallone, you know, gave me
[22:09] every inch of Rocky information, trivia questions, you know, I
[22:15] got to ask him, you know, everything about Rocky films.
[22:18] We would do Rocky lines with each other.
[22:21] I would do his lines and he would do Burgess Meredith lines.
[22:24] It was it was dope. It was cool doing.
[22:26] It have you seen the the new ones?
[22:28] Have you seen Creed? Creed 2.
[22:30] I see them all. The only one that I won't watch
[22:33] again is Rocky Balboa. Yeah, it was a tough watch.
[22:37] It was a tough watch, but every other one, I mean, Rocky 1,
[22:41] Rocky 2, Rocky 3, Rocky 4 numerous times.
[22:44] Creed and Creed two I really, really, really liked, especially
[22:49] Creed, but I mean Rocky I, I, I can't say enough about that film
[22:55] and, and, and what it means to me.
[22:56] I really cannot say enough about it.
[23:00] Oh yeah. I mean, I mean, it's amazing.
[23:02] It came from Norway and it's, I mean, it's a, it's a pillar of
[23:05] 70 cinema, isn't it? It's amazing.
[23:07] Yeah, I don't even think it's a pillar.
[23:09] I think it's its own building of 77 Cinema.
[23:13] OK, Mike, so I'm going to move over to Deep Blue Sea.
[23:17] It's a different kind of film for you, this one.
[23:19] It's a couple of years on from Copland, and CGI plays a big
[23:22] part. How did that affect your
[23:25] performance, if at all? Well, working on Deep Blue Sea,
[23:28] we were in Mexico. We were shooting at the studio
[23:30] that they had built for Titanic. Every day we were in fucking
[23:35] water. And when we weren't actually in
[23:38] the water, we were wet. It was not an easy shoot.
[23:41] I mean, we were in these tanks filled with water, you know, and
[23:45] you're making a movie. So, you know, things go wrong
[23:47] with performance, things go wrong with camera, things go
[23:50] wrong with lighting. You know, you have to shoot it
[23:53] from this angle that, I mean, you're just in the fucking water
[23:55] all day long. CGI was just sort of coming
[23:59] about and being developed. So we never saw any sharks.
[24:04] You know, you use your imagination.
[24:06] You know, that was a fun shoot, just being down in Mexico, fun
[24:10] and also a pain in the ass 'cause every time we had to
[24:13] cross the border, that was like a big discussion, you know, how
[24:15] long did it get? Did it take you to cross the
[24:17] border? Oh, I had to wait there three
[24:19] hours. Oh, well, if you leave at 6:00
[24:21] in the morning, you only have to wait like 2 hours.
[24:22] And you know, everybody wanted to like, you know, go to San
[24:25] Diego to get this or that, but you know, it was cool.
[24:29] Samuel Jackson, obviously, you know, at this point he was a big
[24:32] fucking star and, and he, you know, he's just one of the, one
[24:37] of the best, you know, so that was cool LL Cool J was, was cool
[24:41] to work with because you know, he's LL Cool J like as a kid,
[24:44] you know, like LL Cool J is literally part of my life,
[24:47] whether he knew it or not since 1984, 1985, you know.
[24:52] Radio that that is that his first album.
[24:54] Yeah, I mean like that shit. Like, you know, him with the
[24:57] when he's 15 years old with the kango and and he's chest naked
[25:01] like that was, you know, I've known LL Cool J, you know, in on
[25:06] my radio and on my Video Music box since I was a kid.
[25:09] So he was cool. You know, we had fun.
[25:12] It was fun, but it was a fucking pain in the ass, to be honest
[25:14] with you. Shooting in that water every day
[25:16] was a motherfucker. Yeah.
[25:19] Well, that was. Actually, what I was going to
[25:20] ask you about, I mean your death scene, it's quite a memorable 1
[25:23] and it is underwater. And I was looking, I was
[25:25] thinking, is there any double s in there?
[25:27] But it looks as though that's you for real.
[25:29] No, it was me for real. But they had double s.
[25:31] But they had, you know, that was like a, an entire stage filled
[25:35] up with water. So it was like a very, very deep
[25:38] pool and there's, you know, electrical shit and there's
[25:41] poles. Obviously they had safety divers
[25:44] because it, it's dangerous. You know, like a lot of things
[25:46] could go wrong and you're in water.
[25:48] So you have to be very careful. They there was a lot of safety
[25:51] stuff on the set. It was one time they had to pull
[25:54] me back up because I had lost my breath or I breathe.
[25:56] You know, there was like, you have to hold your breath, like
[25:58] to do the thing for the cameras, quick takes, but you're
[26:00] underwater. So you know, things could go
[26:03] wrong. But most of it was me.
[26:05] There was definitely divers, but like I said, it was, it was a
[26:08] fucking like I was like, get me the fuck out of this fucking
[26:11] water tank. Get me the fuck out of these wet
[26:13] suits. Get me the fuck out of Tijuana.
[26:15] No disrespect to Tijuana, but I was down there for four months.
[26:18] I was just like, at the end, we were all like, I just want to
[26:20] dry out. I want to fall out.
[26:23] But you, you're becoming quite a bit of a, an action star at this
[26:26] point. You had at this point had you
[26:28] been in Metro. Yeah, I had done Metro.
[26:30] I had done Metro. Yes, that I was a budding action
[26:34] *. Well, that's great.
[26:36] I mean, that's that's that's it doesn't get talked about as much
[26:39] as it should. That's a cool action film.
[26:40] It's got a great a great chase scene.
[26:43] Yeah, that was fun. That was fun.
[26:45] You know, I was disappointed with the way that movie turned
[26:47] out just because, you know, I didn't think the director let me
[26:50] and Eddie Murphy be as funny as we possibly could be.
[26:53] And he's, you know, again, somebody that like, means the
[26:56] world to me. Like that guy, you know,
[26:58] inspired me to, you know, he's the person that really inspired
[27:02] me to want to do something in show business.
[27:05] You know, like I said, Sylvester Stallone, I didn't even want to
[27:08] be an actor. I wanted to actually be the
[27:10] character. But Eddie Murphy, I was like,
[27:12] you know, I had this calendar that I had made in like 1988.
[27:17] I was 18. It said the next Eddie Murphy.
[27:19] And it was a picture of me like that was my dude.
[27:21] So to be working with him, you know, and living through the
[27:24] whole Saturday Night Live and the whole delirious red suit
[27:26] thing, like I was ready. Like I knew all his moves and I
[27:29] was feeding him the ball. But the director wanted to make
[27:31] a different kind of film. So you know it it, you know it
[27:35] is it is what it is. Well, Eddie was.
[27:38] I mean, in the 80s, he was one of the biggest stars on the
[27:40] planet, not just film, but generally.
[27:42] I mean, it was huge, huge. And it must have been.
[27:44] I mean, that's incredible to be able to work with somebody who
[27:47] you've idolized like that. As well.
[27:49] That's my guy. So it was disappointing, but you
[27:52] know, shit happens. No, it's, it's a good film.
[27:54] It's I I really enjoy it. Thank you.
[27:56] Thank you. So you've worked with quite a
[27:58] few big time directors just in those kind of three films that
[28:01] we've talked about Tony Scott, James Mangold, Renee Harlan as
[28:04] well. So is there any that you've
[28:06] taken particularly influence from or or, I know that you've
[28:09] talked very eloquently about Tony Scott and highly about him,
[28:12] but is there any that you took particular influence from or or
[28:15] loved working with the most? I mean, you know, Renee Harlan
[28:18] was very great. He had a lot of energy.
[28:21] You know, James Mangold, I think, you know, he came into
[28:24] his own with the films later on. You know, he was good to work
[28:28] with. He loved actors.
[28:31] You know, working with Woody Allen was a treat and a
[28:35] pleasure. Working with Spike Lee, same
[28:37] thing. They have very similar style.
[28:38] It's kind of a hands off but hands on approach.
[28:41] They're very encouraging of the actors.
[28:44] Ted Demi was cool working with the late great Ted Demi on
[28:48] Beautiful Girls. Very enthusiastic, very
[28:51] passionate, very fun leader of the set.
[28:55] So you know, you take the Nora Ephron was really good.
[28:58] The thing I learned from Nora Ephron in this movie Lucky
[29:01] Numbers, which is a great script, not a great movie, but a
[29:04] fun movie, was to it's OK to say no, I don't know.
[29:08] It's OK to say I don't know. Like I remember asking her
[29:10] something and she said a couple times, I don't know, but we'll
[29:14] figure it out. And that's not just a lesson
[29:16] that I learned on film scripts. That's a good lesson in life.
[29:20] It's OK to say I don't know. I feel like people always want
[29:23] to have the answers to questions and, you know, even as a parent,
[29:26] you could say, I don't know, but let's figure it out or I don't
[29:28] know, let me think about it. It's, and I remember her saying
[29:32] that to me a couple of times and I thought it was really cool
[29:35] because directors sometimes feel the need why I understand why
[29:39] they would, they want to answer all the questions and sometimes
[29:42] they'll bullshit you and give you a quick answer, But that was
[29:45] something I, I took away from work with her.
[29:47] So you know, the, the everybody has different styles and
[29:50] different temperaments as directors and, and I've gotten
[29:53] to work with some good ones. I.
[29:55] Mean you worked with Woody twice, didn't you?
[29:57] Worked Mighty Aphrodite. And small time crooks, yeah.
[30:01] Love small time crooks? Yeah, it's a good movie.
[30:04] So outside of acting, you have kept yourself very busy.
[30:07] You've done a couple of documentaries as well when the
[30:10] Garden was eating about the New York Knicks in the 70s, and
[30:12] you've done Beat Rhymes in Life, The Tribe Called Quest, Dock,
[30:16] and The Beat Rhymes in Life. I mean, it's an amazing
[30:18] documentary and it must have been a big undertaken because it
[30:21] covers a lot of ground over a long period of time.
[30:24] As well. Yeah, making B charms in life
[30:27] the the the documentary about a tribe called quest was a was a
[30:29] fucking arduous challenge. You know, making a documentary,
[30:34] I don't care if you can make a 3 minute documentary, an hour long
[30:36] documentary. They're not easy.
[30:38] I'm sure they get easier as you continue to do them.
[30:41] But the tribe doc was it spanned a long period of time.
[30:45] It was essentially 3-4 guys perspective on this long period
[30:50] of time. A lot of things happened.
[30:53] They grew up together, you know, and not just from their
[30:56] perspectives. You know, the group is so
[30:58] influential and I wanted to do a good job.
[31:00] Like I felt such a responsibility to do a good job.
[31:03] And I was learning as I was doing it.
[31:06] So it was, it was extremely challenging.
[31:09] It was fun. Inevitably, I'm very proud of
[31:12] the movie. I think it inspired a bunch of
[31:13] other documentaries to be made about hip hop groups.
[31:17] So I'm proud of that and I'm proud that other other films
[31:20] have been made. And in in a way, it was the
[31:22] first of its kind. I love, I'm a fan of
[31:25] documentaries and and I'm a fan, obviously of a Tribe Called
[31:29] Quest. So I wanted to make it from a
[31:31] fan's perspective for the most part.
[31:34] But then, you know, a documentary when you're doing it
[31:36] in real time about real people that you know, are, are alive.
[31:40] You know, the, the, the great fight dog has passed on since
[31:44] since that. You know, you want to do justice
[31:46] for them and for their stories. So it was, it was a lot.
[31:50] It was a lot. I wish I had made a documentary
[31:52] about the making of the documentary because I think it
[31:54] would been, it would have been an incredible tool for young
[31:59] film makers because I learned a lot.
[32:01] Yeah, it must have been because that's something that's in your
[32:04] DNA, that kind of music and that band to be able to, I mean, that
[32:08] must have been dream kind of stuff.
[32:10] It was, it was, it was a dream come true.
[32:12] It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of Goosebumps
[32:15] moments. I would call them goosebump
[32:18] moments while I was making it, like where I would know where
[32:20] you're shooting a scene and you're like, this is going to be
[32:22] in the movie. There was a handful of scenes.
[32:24] I was like, this is going to be in the movie.
[32:25] This is what I had imagined in my head.
[32:28] But it's not like a movie where you plan that.
[32:30] Sometimes shit just happens and sometimes people say things that
[32:35] you imagine and sometimes people say things that you you never
[32:39] expected when you're when you're making a documentary.
[32:42] And that's the fun and the the struggle of it.
[32:45] It, it ain't for the the meek making documentaries.
[32:48] You have to be all in to do it. So staying on hip hop for a
[32:52] moment, I got a bit of an out there question for you.
[32:55] If you had to rescore The Godfather with a hip hop album,
[33:00] which would you choose? Damn that's a good question if I
[33:02] had to rescore. Or or any of you any, any film
[33:06] like the Searches or Real Bravo or whatever.
[33:09] With a hip hop album? Damn, that's a good question.
[33:12] If I had to rescore, that's a good fucking question.
[33:15] I mean, I think shit, Nas, Illmatic could, could could be a
[33:20] movie score 'cause it's so sort of dark and cinematic.
[33:25] If it's not the Godfather, it could be like Scarface or some
[33:28] shit like that. You know, it really is sort of
[33:30] the same thing. That one would be good.
[33:32] I mean, damn, that's a really, that's a good question.
[33:36] You know, I think that some, some gang star shit would
[33:38] definitely work. Obviously some Wu Tang, you
[33:41] know, midnight Marauders could be something, you know, that
[33:44] would be definitely, you know, because it has that, that
[33:46] texture and that sound and that that energy and that emotion.
[33:50] I think all those films have emotion and the, the, the, the
[33:54] records I just mentioned have have emotion.
[33:56] But that's a good question. I never got that question
[33:58] before. Well, I'll, I'll give a shout
[34:00] out to one of the one of the lads on all the right movies,
[34:03] Westie. That was his question.
[34:04] So. Oh, so he's the fucking.
[34:06] He's the guy. What the fuck am I?
[34:07] What am I? Yeah, yeah, I'm just the puppet.
[34:15] Any plans to move into features? Mike, would you direct a
[34:18] feature? I would love to direct a movie.
[34:20] I would love to direct a feature.
[34:22] You know, it would have to be the right thing.
[34:24] I'd have to find something that I just was totally in love with
[34:28] and I would love to do it. I would love to do it and it,
[34:31] and it would be something that if I didn't do, I would probably
[34:35] regret when I was older. So if, if everything comes
[34:38] together, I, I, I would want to do it because it's something
[34:40] that I've always wanted to do, but I don't do it.
[34:43] You know, I wouldn't want to go into it just to do it just to,
[34:46] to, to write it off a bucket list, a bucket list.
[34:48] But it's definitely something I I, I want to do.
[34:51] But you've got, obviously you've got your podcast as well.
[34:53] And I mean, just speaking from experience, but you put out two
[34:57] episodes at least a week. Yeah.
[34:59] So I mean, that's a, that's a fucking huge commitment.
[35:02] Yeah. I mean just straight.
[35:03] Off podcasts are you know, they're the professional
[35:05] podcasting is is it's challenging.
[35:08] I love doing it. You know, I love being busy.
[35:10] You know, my podcast and the way we, we do the podcast, it's sort
[35:14] of like performance art to me. But I, I really, you know, I, I
[35:19] get off on doing it and I appreciate, you know, the, the,
[35:22] the success is obviously it's all based on the fans and all
[35:25] that stuff, but it's definitely like a performance for me.
[35:28] And I and I, I, I really like doing it.
[35:30] Yeah. So would you be able to find
[35:32] time to to because it seems as though like you're the busiest
[35:34] person in the world. Oh, oh, if I directed a movie
[35:37] and I have to figure something out, I might have to I might
[35:40] have to cut it down to one, but I'd have a lot to.
[35:42] I mean, shit, if I was doing a podcast during the during the
[35:45] Tribe Called Quest movie, Fuck, man, I'm telling you that
[35:48] motherfucker was hard to do. But movies are hard to make.
[35:51] You know, people think people don't understand how hard movies
[35:54] are to make unless you've made one or been a part of they're
[35:57] not easy. You know, they're not easy when
[35:59] you see the great movies like you guys feature on your page,
[36:04] you know, like there's fucking. It takes a toll on people.
[36:08] You know, it takes a toll on the film makers.
[36:09] You know, the Francis Ford Coppola's articulated it very
[36:12] well, You know, a Raging Bull, you know, Martin Scorsese, you
[36:16] know, it can take a toll on you. But if you do it correctly, you
[36:19] know, it could sort of be cathartic, which is, you know,
[36:22] one of the things that comes up a lot in the making of Raging
[36:24] Bull, which I know you guys love.
[36:28] I have such a reverence for it that if I did it, I would be
[36:31] shooting for the stars. I would be going shooting for
[36:34] the stars, so I would definitely have to cut down the amount of
[36:37] podcasts I did while in production, but it might be good
[36:40] to do it so it didn't. I didn't go totally insane.
[36:42] Yeah, it'd be an outlet for you. Exactly.
[36:46] And you've had loads of really like, really memorable roles on
[36:50] TV as well. Personal favorite of mine is
[36:52] your guest spot on the 5th season of Louis.
[36:55] Yeah, that was done. Fucking amazing.
[36:58] I love that. And it's what, like a 22 minute
[37:00] episode or something like that, But there's a, there's a
[37:02] character arc in there for you. Great episode, you should post
[37:06] something for that if you could find it because I can't find the
[37:09] Louis stuff but working with Louis CK on the show, Louis was
[37:11] dope, the part was dope, the writing was great.
[37:15] He's very very talented. I hope he comes back and does
[37:19] some stuff soon. I think he's been served his
[37:23] time and I think people should be able to learn from their
[37:26] mistakes. You know, there's people that
[37:28] have gotten away with violent crimes that went to prison for
[37:31] the same amount of time we've put him in, you know, sort of
[37:36] behavioral jail and, and, and obviously, you know, he has to
[37:40] reckon with that. But but I think, you know, there
[37:42] has to be forgiveness for people and and reconciliation for
[37:46] people. But working with him was
[37:48] awesome. It was freezing cold when we're
[37:50] shooting outside. I didn't meet him beforehand.
[37:54] I haven't seen him since he was so trusting of, of me doing the
[37:58] part. And it was literally that was
[38:01] cathartic for me because what I was going through in my life
[38:04] personally at the time, to be able to have that outlet as it,
[38:07] as an actor, it meant a lot to me.
[38:10] And it was an expression of my emotions.
[38:15] And I think that's why it resonated and, and, and people
[38:18] fortunately still bring it up because it was a personal, the
[38:22] emotions that I was relating to that character were very
[38:25] personal. And and you don't always get to
[38:27] do that. Yeah, I mean, it's outstanding.
[38:30] There's that credit rule scene right at the end when you're
[38:33] doing the the Nitton, which has been set up when you're tearing
[38:36] the apartment up looking for the gun.
[38:38] Oh, that's just so good. So.
[38:41] Thank you. I appreciate that.
[38:42] Thank you. What I wanted to talk to you
[38:44] about is your current show on Netflix.
[38:46] That's Atypical. Yeah, a great show and it's
[38:50] dealing with real world problems that don't necessarily bleed
[38:53] into popular culture. Has how or has or how has that
[38:56] show had an impact or influence on you as an actor or or a
[39:01] person even? Well, working on Atypical has
[39:04] certainly raised my awareness and understanding of autism, how
[39:09] it affects the, for me, it's really, you know, raised my
[39:14] awareness of how it affects people, the people around
[39:17] somebody who, who has the family, the friends, the people
[39:22] around the, the man or the woman or the kid, really who, who is
[39:26] suffering from autism 'cause that's, you know, the character
[39:29] I play. So I'll say that it's made me
[39:31] more aware and educated about the autistic community and what
[39:35] it means to be autistic. It's been a great time doing it.
[39:40] A Season 4 premieres on Netflix July 9th.
[39:43] It's our last season. A lot of fans are disappointed
[39:46] it's our last season. I'm disappointed it's our last
[39:48] season. But it's the first time I was
[39:49] able to do a show where we get to go out knowing and going into
[39:53] the last season that it's get gets to wrap up.
[39:56] So you sure you want things to go on forever, But I rather do
[40:00] that then have to wait to find out whether or not we're going
[40:04] to be able to go forward. So, you know, it was great
[40:08] working with the cast. Jennifer Jason Lee is one of my
[40:11] favorite. She was one of my favorite.
[40:13] She's another one who I just she's I've always considered one
[40:16] of my favorite actors actresses. And, you know, get to get to
[40:20] work with her has been great. You know, I have so much respect
[40:23] for her and it's been cool to watch her and learn how she does
[40:26] her thing and watch her process. I really can't figure out her
[40:29] tricks. You know, she just is good.
[40:31] You know, it's like I stare at her when we're working together
[40:34] and like, I'm like, what the fuck is she doing?
[40:36] And she's just a good actor, a really good actor.
[40:40] And, you know, when she hits you like, you know, you, you, you
[40:42] feel it. So she's been just cool.
[40:45] And she's this very funny person.
[40:47] Like, you know, I want to get her on my podcast because she's
[40:50] a lot funnier than I think she's certainly funnier than her
[40:53] characters. And she's kind of shy.
[40:55] You know, when, when, when she's presented on doing publicity
[40:58] stuff, she's shy, but she's funny and she got a lot of
[41:00] stories and history in show business.
[41:03] So she's, she's cool when and, and working on Atypical has been
[41:07] something that I'm very proud of.
[41:09] Yeah, I mean, it's great and like a real eye opener as well.
[41:12] And I'm sure that a majority of people watching have got the
[41:15] same experiences as me. It makes you think about things
[41:18] from a different perspective. And there's a lot of emotion in
[41:21] that show as well, and some really funny, really funny
[41:24] moments. Very funny.
[41:25] And the actors, the young actors, Kieran, Bridget, who
[41:27] play the kids, they're, they're really talented.
[41:29] So I I I enjoy doing it. Cool.
[41:31] OK, so finally Mike got to ask you, what are your all time top
[41:36] five favorite films? My all time top five favorite
[41:40] films, in no particular order are Raging Bull, Rocky, Saturday
[41:45] Night Fever, Raging Bull, Rocky, Saturday Fever, All time
[41:49] Favorite top five films of all time, The Shining, and it's hard
[41:55] to pick another one. I have to say The Godfather 1:00
[41:59] and 2:00. That's one film.
[42:00] Not, not The Godfather. Yeah, not the Godfather.
[42:04] Like, you know, when it's out of sync, but the one and two, you
[42:06] know, not the Godfather. What's in order.
[42:08] That's dope. They could still always, you
[42:10] know, I never can fully appreciate Godfather three.
[42:14] It just doesn't work for me all the way.
[42:16] Although there's some good things.
[42:17] But one and two, I say those are my 5.
[42:21] All of them, coincidentally, except for The Shining, starring
[42:26] Italian Americans. Don't know why but but but
[42:30] that's who I I gravitate to with with my acting.
[42:32] So those are those are my top five today and it's
[42:35] interchangeable, just like if you asked for my top five hip
[42:38] hop albums. Well, I'm I'm surprised they're
[42:41] shining. I'm really surprised that didn't
[42:42] strike me as your kind of film. Oh fuck yeah, that's my shit.
[42:45] Jack is my fucking dude. Oh, it's amazing.
[42:48] So you got a big month coming up in July.
[42:50] You mentioned July 9th for season of Atypical and you've
[42:53] got some stand up dates coming up in July, August as well.
