>> Patrick Wilson in this film
that opens on Friday.
>> Talking about this film.
You just got back from the
screening at the Pentagon.
>> What was the reaction there?
>> It was amazing.
That's the thing about the
movies, even though it was a
midway movie they've never done
one with the accuracy we have
done this one with and get it
right.
It's a story that's the Navy's
most important battle most
important battle of the entire
pacific theater and the war and
all that stuff.
You will find out when you see
the movie.
They were still happy.
>> That's a little extra
pressure, right?
>> They're just so excited.
I think especially at the
screening, we had a veteran
there from midway 101 years old.
To watch people like that, you
really understand the weight of
what you're doing.
We had fun doing what we do,
make-believe.
You start playing real people,
that made a serious impact on
this country and the world it
takes a great responsibility.
>> Yeah, it does.
>> You become very patriotic
very quickly.
>> And you're so diverse from
Broadway to big screen to live
tales.
You're very fortunate to do
different stuff.
>> You are down playing it.
Very few people do Broadway and
TV.
I feel it's a little more
singular.
Give yourselves a little props.
Not many song and dance teams.
>> And then fun to do something
like "Aquaman" and Orm was the
name of your character.
Look at that.
That's cool, man.
>> Subtle.
>> Due to the graphic, there he
is coming back and "Aqua man 2."
>> That's the plan.
>> Talk about getting beefed up
for that role, was there extra
training?
>> Yes.
>> I know you have the suit on.
>> There's no back to the suit
and no Latos the suit.
Sorry to get technical.
They can add on a chest and 75 00:02:25,851 --> 00:02:25,851 arms.
>> Then, you're looking at mamoa
and getting motivated.
>> In the comic ocean masters
was a big guy.
As you know more than any of us.
People make the mistake
thinking, I have to go to the
gym.
It was so much food.
That was the thing for me, the
amount of food I had to keep
eating.
>> You have so many people out
there, really, all the food.
>> Yes, thank you.
>> I get the muscle gets a whole
routine there.
Did you have a spread sheet with
mamoa?
Did you ever --
>> I have envy of him anyway.
>> Who does that?
>> A lot of hair.
>> I read something that is
cool, you feel you have the most
swagger as a dad.
>> I did, too, by the way.
>> It's the one time, when
you're with your kids, it's not
about you, it's about being a
parent, guiding these kids.
Anything that takes in a strange
way, you feel that
responsibility.
Responsibility is extremely
empowering I think.
>> Nothing as sexy as a man that
is a father, so empowering.
How old are the boys now?
>> 13 and 10.
>> And putting them in a suit.
>> That is Kass.
Kass is actually on "Prodigal
son," a TV show for fox.
>> An actor now.
I don't know why I said that.
>> Did you encourage it?
>> Listen, my wife and I, we
both went to college together,
we both studied theater and take
it very seriously and love what
we do.
Our perspective on the business
is we just want you to pursue
your dreams.
Both of them came to us last
year and said, we really want to
pursue this.
Really, from a parenting
perspective, it was more about
understanding the rejection.
>> You're right.
>> And he books like a second
job.
The next one you'll never get!
>> That's awesome to hear.
Two great coaches at home.
Awesome.
>> We take it as it comes.
It's fun, he loves it, finds a
lot of focus in it.
>> What about your other son, is
he in the show as well?
"This is us?"
>> No.
But he's also incredibly
talented and sure --
>> Going to pursue it.
That's fabulous.
>> Congratulations on
everything.
Big thanks to Patrick.
"Midway" opens Friday.
