00:00So, what have these last couple weeks been like for you?
00:02It seems like it's been a little crazy from the outside.
00:05Yeah, it's been pretty crazy.
00:09I'm having fun though.
00:10I'm still loose.
00:11I'm hanging.
00:12Good.
00:13Well, that's good to hear.
00:15Are you getting a bunch of calls, a bunch of scripts, a bunch of interests now, or has
00:20it changed anything career-wise so far?
00:23Yes.
00:24Things are coming in.
00:25Things are moving.

00:27We're having meetings, and the needle is threading, so we'll see.
00:33We'll see.
00:34Nothing's locked in or happening yet, so yeah, we'll see.
00:40Do you have any idea of something you would like to do next or a genre you would like
00:44to tackle?
00:45Well, I just was saying to him that Luca's doing American Psycho, so I think I could
00:52do Patrick Bateman.
00:53Don't you think?
00:54Right?
00:55That's perfect.
00:56Perfect timing.
00:57That was just announced a couple days ago, I think.
01:01I haven't played a serial killer yet, so I think I could do it.
01:10What has it been like seeing the reaction and seeing everything changing with the legal
01:16side of things and the real impact the show seems to be having?
01:20It's very, very rewarding, and I feel so lucky to be a part of it and to have any say
01:29in it and to just share my thoughts and feelings and what I believe in.
01:36It's really been such an honor, and I've just loved being a part of it and seeing how people
01:41respond to it.
01:42It's been a true pleasure and joy, and I'm so beyond grateful, so yeah.
01:47We're celebrating kind of this year of movies right now.

02:05All right.
02:06Well, thank you so much.
02:07Wow, I plugged Luca twice.
02:08Oh, God.
02:09I mean, this is perfect.
02:10You're buttering him up to...
