the Nero definitely right I mean he'd be relentless with that
Hal I don't know what you think you're doing excuse me hello
get a dead white man in a box huge congrats on Amsterdam thank you so much what a sweetheart
Bert is I do I love him right he's great that's what David and I wanted to do we said we want to
create someone who we really want to be friends with and man do I like but I miss him oh he's a
great guy he really is um Burton Harold have chosen to find out who killed Bill who out of
your co-stars would you trust to solve the case um well the Nero definitely right I mean he'd
be relentless with that uh Margo man she's got great tenacity we have a we've got a lot
of good likely candidates Rami man he could he has like a photographic memory he was stunning
we'd be sitting in the edit room and Rami would go no don't guys you turned to David and me go
guys don't remember we did that one take we did a two shot it was from this side and we changed the
lines we were like how does he remember that and it would be true we'd go look through the
footage and find it so he would be absolutely uh invaluable maybe these guys are actually Secrets
I would be the worst because I have like one of the most abysmal memories of anybody I've ever
maybe you're just saying that because you really are a secret like MI5 agent and we just don't know
about it I'll keep it quiet we formed the pact and we swore to protect each other no matter what
I thought the relationship between Bert and Harold and they're packed to always look after each other
which actor always really supported you and guided you when you were starting out in the industry
um I you know they might not have known it but it was really Ron Atkinson and Gary Oldman were
the people that I looked up to I first worked that was my very first job was with Ron Atkinson
and I saw him doing kind of a sort of an early Mr Bean thing but I would see him just go from
being this this very quiet man to just this you know absolutely loud and colorful character and
very physical and that was I didn't really study acting so I've studied Rowan for that
and then watching Gary in many in many films so they've been a real constant uh for me
um uh because all I did as and that was like a weekend at the YWCA CA off of um Tom Court Road
yeah uh so they were the people who really taught me how it's done do you remember any advice that
they gave you no they never gave me any advice and I think most advice is useless anyway isn't
it but you watch it and learn from watch it two soldiers and the nurse found ourselves in
Amsterdam Bert's best memories are in Amsterdam you've obviously played some of the most
iconic characters in your career who out of the characters you've played would you love to go on
holiday with to Amsterdam I would definitely but obviously I mean I really do yeah it sounds silly
but I do miss him I think we succeeded in creating this this wonderful triangle of friendship in
Amsterdam of people that would just do absolutely anything for each other enviable friendships that
David and I said you know oh man we want to have friends like that as well but each one is
is very personal um uh to me but I think also the mellowness of uh there was a very uh guilt-ridden
but uh very laid-back character name of uh Trevor Resnick that I played in The Machinist and most
people enjoyed being around them just because he was so calm don't baby me yeah baby you're
brilliant in that thank you so much I'd pay to see Batman in a coffee shop oh yeah we're in his in
his full gear yeah it'd be very hot and sweaty be absolutely hilarious and a bit weird in the
daytime you don't get here without things starting a long time ago and this is obviously set in the
30s if you could bring back anything from that era what would it be oh hats I guess you know the hats
were fantastic at that era yeah Jazz as well the jazz is so good yeah that was one thing that David
and I did a lot we've read tons of books listened to tons of Music watch lots of jazz documentaries
we find ourselves in a situation where we're accused of killing someone which is not true
I love murder mysteries what are some of your favorite murder mystery movies oh God you got
me now you know I have to say I don't watch that many films I really don't I watch what my kids
want me to watch most of the time and everyone's always appalled at that um I I you know I felt
better though because the last few days I was incredibly honored to get to do a bunch of
interviews with Robert De Niro and people kept asking us similar questions and he'd never seen
anything either so I was right with him and going oh no I don't watch that many films really um
David's always a porter who's always slapping his forehead that uh how many films I have not seen
what do you recommend who done it Knives Out is brilliant Knives Out okay it's a great one thank
you so much Christine thank you congrats on this it's brilliant thank you so much appreciate it
