THE MAIN CHARACTERS.
Heather: AND SHARES WHAT
THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MAKING
OF THE MOVIE.
Guest: THIS IS A BIT
DIFFERENT FOR YOU.
HOW DID YOU PREPARE FOR THAT?
WERE THERE SURPRISES?
Guest: I'VE NEVER DONE
PHYSICAL ACTING.
WATCHING DAVE, I'VE LEARNED SO
MUCH, BECAUSE DAVE IS SO GOOD.
HE'S GOOD AT ALL ACTING.
BUT PHYSICAL ACTING IS SOMETHING
I HAD NEVER DONE OR BEEN WITH
SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE IT SO WELL.
IT'S INTERESTING WATCHING HIM.
I LEARNED A LOT.
YOU GUYS HAVE GREAT
CHEMISTRY ON THE SCREEN.
WHETHER YOU'RE GETTING ALONG ON
THE SCREEN OR YOUR ROLES ARE
BEING BUDDIES TOWARD THE MIDDLE
OF THE FILM.
DID YOU KNOW EACH OTHER BEFORE
HAND?
Guest: WE MET AT THE
AUDITION.
[INAUDIBLE]
Guest: WE JUST GOT ALONG
GREAT THE WHOLE TIME.
IMMEDIATELY FROM THE BEGINNING,
SO I THINK THAT TRANSLATES ON
SCREEN.
EVEN WHEN WE'RE ANTAGANISTIC
TOWARDS EACH OTHER.
Guest: THERE'S A CERTAIN
COMFORT LEVEL.
WE WERE KIND OF -- EITHER YOU
HAVE CHEMISTRY OR YOU DON'T.
I DON'T THINK IT'S SOMETHING YOU
CAN CREATE.
MAYBE YOU CAN.
BUT WITH US IT WAS NATURAL.
Guest: YEAH.
Guest: WITH THAT COMFORT
LEVEL, WAS THERE IMPROVE GOING
ON?
OR WAS THIS ALL JUST GREAT
ACTING?
[LAUGHTER]
Guest: IMPROVE, WE
IMPROVISED A BUNCH.
AND A BUNCH OF IT IS IN THE
MOVIE.
NOT JUST SORT OF THE FUNNY
STUFF.
BUT ALSO, LITTLE CHARACTER
MOMENTS.
SINCE WE'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW OUR
CHARACTERS AND EACH OTHER'S
CHARACTERS.
Guest: THERE WAS A LOT OF
IMPROVE.
AND A LOT OF ALTERNATIVE LINES.
THERE IS PROBABLY ENOUGH
ALTERNATIVE LINES TO MAKE
ANOTHER FILM.
Guest: WHAT ABOUT THE DOG IN
THE FILM?
LOVED THE DOG.
Guest: DAVE FELL IN LOVE.
Guest: SWEET LITTLE GUY.
I'M A DOG LOVER.
I LOVE DOGS.
I'M IN A BIT OF SEPARATION
ANXIETY ON THIS FILM FROM MY
DOGS.
AND HE FILLED THAT VOID FOR ME.
HE'S A SWEET, LITTLE GUY.
I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT BRINGING
HIM OUT TO THE PREMIER AS WELL.
HE'S A BIG PART OF THE FILM.
HE'S A BIG PART OF MY CHARACTER
AND EXPLAINING WHO MY CHARACTER
IS.
Guest: OH, YEAH, YOUR BOND
WITH HIM IS ACTUALLY A BIG PART
OF THE FILM.
WHILE WE WERE SHOOTING THE SCENE
ON THE POSTER, STROKER WOULD GET
UNCOMFORTABLE.
AND DAVE WOULD GO WE CAN'T SHOOT
UNTIL HE'S COMFORTABLE.
HE WOULD WAIT OUTSIDE FOR HIM TO
DRINK WATER.
IT'S ATLANTA IN THE SUMMER.
IT'S HOT.
AND THESE GUYS ARE SWEATING.
AND THEY'RE PANTING.
SO YOU CAN TELL.
[INAUDIBLE]
Guest: I READ THAT YOU DON'T
LIKE LABELS OR PRECONCEIVED
NOTIONS WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF
YOU.
YOUR CHARACTER IN THE FILM DEALS
WITH THE SAME THING.
WHO IS THE REAL DAVE AND WHAT DO
STEEL LUNCH BOXES HAVE TO DO
WITH IT?
Guest: THAT'S A BIG
QUESTION.
[LAUGHTER]
Guest: WELL, GO STRAIGHT TO
THE LUNCH BOXES.
ANSWERING WHO I AM, I DON'T KNOW
WHO I AM AND I'M LEARNING WHO I
AM AT 50 YEARS OLD.
I'M FINDING MYSELF.
WELL, THE JEWEL IN MY COLLECTION
I JUST ACQUIRED A COUPLE OF
WEEKS AGO, IT'S THIS 1950s COPY
OF LUNCH BOX, WHICH IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND.
BUT IT'S -- IT WAS SOMETHING YOU
COULDN'T PURCHASE.
YOU HAD TO GET IT THROUGH
TRADING STAMPS.
REMEMBER THEY HAD TRADING STAMPS
FOR EVERYTHING.
THAT'S HOW YOU ACQUIRE THAT.
I GOT ONE.
Guest: YOU JUST GOT IT A
WEEK AGO, RIGHT?
I NEVER KNEW THIS CHARACTER.
WHEN WE WERE SHOOTING, HE WOULD
SHOW ME HIS LUNCH BOX AND BE
LIKE I GOT TO GET THAT LUNCH
BOX.
I'D BE LIKE WHO IS THAT?
HE'S LIKE THE TRADING STAMP
STUFF IS RARE.
I'M LIKE GOOD LUCK.
A WEEK AGO, I SAW A STORY THAT
HE GOT HIS LUNCH BOX.
