- Okay.
- Brian, how big is your...oh, that's inappropriate.
- I think it's you.
- Is it me?
- Hollywood Reporter.
Hello.
- Fishing For Answers on the Hollywood Reporter.
- What has been the funniest quote
from one of your characters on the show?
- [Kieran & Jeremy] Buckle up fuckle-head.
- Buckle up fuckle-head.
I didn't know that I needed to say that in my
professional life.
- That'll come up in your personal life somewhere.
- Yeah.
- With the kids probably.
- Buckle up fuckle-head.
- When I'm in the kitchen trying to put
like the free food into a dog-poop bag.
And Tom says, what are you caring...?
Is that a dog poop bag?
And I said something like, no, it's just a bag.
There's just a misconception about these bags.
It's not like they pre-poop them or something...
It's not like they...they're just bags really.
It's just a mental barrier.
- Here's the bowl. I'm passing the bowl to Kieran.
- Would you like to pick?
- I would love to.
- Go ahead.
- There's one speaking to me right now.
- Okay.
- Who do you think is Logan's favorite kid?
- Roman, me.
Definitely.
And who's his least favorite?
Kendall...Definitely...Why?
Because it's obvious.
That was easy.
- He loves them all.
Equally.
- Do you think it's you?
- No.
Logan's favorite is Siobhan hands down.
- You think you could be the favorite?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Least?
- I actually think it's Connor.
- Yeah maybe Connor is the least favorite.
- Um hm.
- Favorite kids is his company.
- Um hm, um hm.
- Ooh, deep.
- Okay.
How are we doing?
- Go on.
- It's getting hot in here.
- [Kieran] The cast member most like their character is?
- Nick or Alan.
- Nick is almost indistinguishable, it's incredible.
- Jeremy who plays Kendall is a lot like Kendall.
He like takes his wardrobe into life now
so I have trouble, you know...
- Yeah. That's true.
- It's like, it all kind of feels like it's the same.
- I thought that was Kendall's ring.
Is that yours?
- This is mine.
- Oh nice.
- The most eery similarity to the story of succession...
- In the real world is...
- Oh, oh...
- Dang!
- I...
- Where do you want to go with that one?
- Heard that a very wealthy media family
that you could probably guess
did actually have family therapy.
- Hm.
- And that was part of the inspiration for the scene...
In episode seven with that family therapy.
- Murdoch and Fox and Disney and that
whole epic drama unfolding.
I found that to be sort of a powerful
thing that was unfolding at the same time.
- I found the scenes (bleep)...
- Spoiler.
- Well, was that a spoiler?
- Bright one.
- Okay.
I'll shut up then.
- Growing up I got in trouble for...
- I stole a pack of baseball cards from the Stop N Shop.
- I stole a pack of gum.
I was really um...
- From a store?
- From a store.
- Okay.
- And my mother found out in the car
and she made me go back and apologize.
- I got home and I opened them
and my mom saw.
She was like, I didn't buy those.
And she took me back to the supermarket
and she made me apologize to the manager.
- Cousin Greg's nickname is Greg the Egg.
What were your nicknames growing up?
I've got the sort of annoyingly difficult
to pronounce sirname, Macfadyen.
That was cannibalized into sort of rude names.
- What do you think Ruck rhymes with?
- Tuck.
- Yeah, sure, among others.
- Yeah, Buck?
- Yeah, sure, those are a couple.
- Pipe Down and Asshole I think were mine.
- I was Nicky Nicky Nuu Nuu.
That's what my mom called me.
♪Nicky Nicky Nuu Nuu ♪
- I had loads.
First of all Babe, like little babe.
Lamby, Smelly Bug.
I stopped my sister calling me that
because it was embarrassing.
And then it became Smelly Bee
and then it became Smelly Beetle
and then it became Beetle
and now I'm must Beetie.
Or Sezue.
- Sezue?
- Yup, Sezue ever since I was three years old
from my sister.
And then like Snooks just lends itself to a lot of things.
- Snooks.
Yeah, Snooks.
- Snookie.
- Snickers.
- Sneakers.
- Snickers I get Snickers from a friend.
I get Snack.
Sally.
I dunno why, but no one wants to call me Sarah.
I'm just a whole bunch of nicknames.
- All right.
- We're enjoying this.
Put that one away and take this one.
This is a good one.
It's a...good one
It's...
- No, it's upside down.
- Oh it's upside down.
- Try reading it like that, okay.
- What posters were on your wall as a teenager?
- I didn't have any.
- Dog afternoon, My love food and Rain Man.
- Of course.
- I had a load of Leonardo DiCaprio.
But it was a competition with my friend.
To see how many Leo pictures we could get.
- If Connor and Siv both ran
for President who has your vote?
Well, I would vote for Connor and it would be
one of two votes that he would get.
- No brainer.
- Siv, of course.
- Siv.
- Connor.
- Yeah, that's because you're just being difficult.
- Yeah.
- He just does that to be difficult.
- I mean, yeah.
- He doesn't really mean that.
- I think that would be more fun.
- No, no, no.
- Somebody who's nuts as the President?
Can you imagine?
- That's true.
Somebody who's nuts...
- All right, let's just get there.
- So that's...that was it.
We did it.
- Now we get to garrgh!
- This was Fishing for Answers with me Alan Ruck
and my friend
- Oh, Matthew Macfadyen.
- Thanks for watching Fishing with...
- Friends.
- Fishing with two friends.
