JOACHIM THAT IS THE FIRST TIME ON AN AMERICAN TALK SHOW, YOU
STARTED OUT, YOU WERE ON THE CAMERA CREW FOR NORWEGIAN
ENTERTAINMENT SHOWS, WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?
WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE? >> YEAH, NO, THAT IS WHERE I MET
MY COWRITING THAT I AM NOW CONOMINATED WITH FOR THE
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS MY JOB.
I WAS A CABLE BASHER WHICH MEANS YOU KNOW I WALKED OUT OF LATE
NIGHT SHOWS, SO THE KASM RASS WOULDN'T DRIVE ACROSS THE CORD
AND GET STUCK. CRAZY TIMES BEING BEHIND THE
CAMERA ON LIVE TV. >> James: IT WAS LIVE.
>> YEAH, NO, LIVE ON SATURDAY NIGHT, USUALLY, THERE WAS A SHOW
WHERE THEY WOULD CALL UP WITH NORWAY T IS A SMALL COUNTRY SO
THEY WOULD DO THIS THING ABOUT PEOPLE COMING IN, SHOWING
INVENTIONS, AND MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT WOULD INVEST IN THOSE
INVENTIONS, BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD MADE, VERY SIM PATHETIC, YOU
KNOW, CERTAIN KEY SYSTEM FOR BLIND PEOPLE SO THEY REQUEST FIT
INTO, NICE THINGS, SUDDENLY ONE NIGHT THERE WAS THIS GIERKS THAT
CAME AROUND AND WE SWRAI PROBLEM IN NORWAY THAT ALONG THE TRAIN
TRACKS AROUND THE KRIRKS MOOSE GET STUCK AND GET RUN OVER BY
TRAINS, SO THIS GENTLEMAN CAME IN, I REMEMBER.
>> HUGE PROBLEM. >> YEAH, OF COURSE, TERRIBLE
PROBLEM. AND SO THIS GENTLEMEN CAME IN, AND HE HAD PUT WOLF ME
ON A SPRAY CAN AND CON DENSZED IT SO HE WOULD SPRAY ALONG THE
TRAIN TRACKS AND THE ELK, THE MOOSE WOULD STAY AWAY.
THE HOST OF THE SHOW TRIED TO BE FUNNY SOW JUST OH, LET'S SMELL
THIS THING. I WOULD WAS BEHIND THE CAM RAND
AT FIRST WAVE OF SMELL HIT ME AND I ALMOST VOMITED.
ALL THE CAMERA PEOPLE, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THEIR EYES,
THEY HAD TO SMUGGLE ALL OF THE AUDIENCE OUT, OLD PEOPLE WERE
FALLING DOWN WITH HEART ATTACKS AND WE WERE TRYING TO PICK THEM
UP. >>
>> James: SO WHEN YOU WORKED AND A CREW WAS THERE EVER A TIME
WHEN YOU FELT COMFORTABLE ENOUGH IN THE ENVIRONMENT YOU WERE
WORKINGS TO WEAR A T-SHIRT THAT SAID, I THINK THEREFORE I'M
HORNEE? BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE
SEEN PETE HERE. >> YEAH.
NOW ADAM, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BRILLIANT SHOW SEVERANCE,
INKRIDDABLE REVIEWS, PEOPLE ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVING THE SLOW.
FOR ANYONE O WHO HASN'T CAUGHT IT YET, EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS ABOUT
AND WHO YOU PLAY. >> SURE, THE SHOW TAKES PLACE IN
A WORLD WHERE IN IS A PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT YOU CAN GET
INSERTED INTO YOUR BRAIN. WHERE AFTER YOU GET THIS
PROCEDURE DONE WHEN YOU GO TO WORK, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU
ARE IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD. ONCE YOU CROSS THE THRESHHOLD OF
YOUR JOB, AUTOMATICALLY YOU FORGET ALL OF YOUR MEMORIES IN
THE OUTSIDE WORLD. WHEN YOU LEAVE WORK AND GO HOME,
CROSS THAT THRESHHOLD AGAIN, IT'S ACTIVATEDDED, YOU HAVE NO
MEMORIES OF WHAT YOU DID AT WORK.
YOU ARE ONLY IN YOUR OUTSIDE WORLD.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR JOB IS. SO YOU HAVE THESE TWO SEPARATE
LIVES SO YOU CAN FOCUS ON YOUR PERSONAL LIFE, ENJOY YOUR LIFE,
YOU CAN FOCUS ON YOUR JOB COMPLETELY AND JUST DO YOUR JOB
AS WELL AS POSSIBLE AND SO MY CHARACTER MARK HAS HAD THIS DONG
AND BECAUSE HE LOST HIS WIFE IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND HE IS JUST
TRYING TO ESCAPE THE PAIN OF THAT, BY SWITCHING OFF FOR TEN
HOURS A DAY OR WHATEVER, THAT IS KIND EVERYWHERE THE STORY
STARTS. >> IT IS A BILL YANT SHOW WITH
AN EXTRAORDINARY CAST, DIRECTED BY BEN STILLER, YOU WORKED WITH
CHRISTOPHER WALKER AND JOHN TURTURRO WHO ARE TWO OF
ANYBODY'S ABSOLUTE GREATS. WHAT WAS IT LIKE WORKING WITH
THEM? WHAT IS IT LIKE YOUR FIRST DAY?
ARE YOU NERVOUS? ARE YOU NERVOUS AROUND ACTORS
LIKE THAT? >> I WAS, CUZ YOU KNOW, WE HAD
BEEN WAITING MONTHS AND MONTHS TO START AND FINALLY MY FIRST
DAY WITH JOHN TURTURRO AND CHRISTOPHER WALKEN WAS IN FRONT
OF ME. IT WAS THE NEXT DAY.
AND I WAS-- I MEAN THESE ARE PROFOUND HEROES OF MINE.
>> James: YEAH. >> AND I'M SO EXCITED, I CAN'T
REALLY GET TO SLEEP. I FINALLY GET TO SLEEP AROUND 2
A.M., GETTING PICKED UP AT 5:30. NOT GOING TO GET MUCH SLEEP BUT
WHATEVER, IT IS GOING TO BE AN EXCITING DAY.
I NEED TO WAKE UP AT LET'S SAY 4:45 TO GET PICKED UP AT 5:30, I
WAKE UP AND IT'S 8 A.M. >> James: STOP.
>> I WAKE UP BECAUSE THEY'RE POUNDING ON MY DOOR.
SOMEONE HAS HAD THE TIME TO DRIVE FROM THE SET WHICH IS 40
MINUTE AS WAY TO COME DOWN TO MANUALLY WAKE ME UP. AND I'M
RUNNING AROUND MY APARTMENT, LIKE A NIGHTMARE.
>> James: YES. >> RUNNING AROUND MY APARTMENT,
GETTING STUFF, GETTING DRESSED, CRYING.
LIKE I AM TEN YEARS OLD AND I'M IN TROUBLE.
IT WAS THE WORST, THANKS. SERIOUSLY CUZ IT STILL GIVES
ME-- DPSH I'M STARTING TO SWEAT RIGHT NOW THINK BEING IT.
SO I GOT TO WORK. AND THIS BIG DAY I WAS EXCITED
FOR, THE FIRST THING I HAD TO DO WAS GO AND PERSONALLY APOLOGIZE
TO JOHN TURTURRO AND CHRISTOPHER WALKEN AND BEG THEIR-- THEY WERE
COOL AND EVERYTHING. >> James: YOUR FIRST DAY, YOU
ARE THREE WEEKS IN, PEOPLE KNOW IT IS NOT YOUR NATURE, THE FIRST
DAY. >> THIS GUY IS LIKE-- .
>> James: OH GOD, I WAS IN A PLAY IN NEW YORK ONCE WITH
THE-- BOYS AND I FELL ASLEEP BEHIND THE STAGE CUZ I WASN'T IN
THE FIRST SCENE. >> SURE.
>> James: OF ACT TWO AND ACT TWO WOULD ALWAYS START WITH THIS
VERY LOUD MUSIC THAT WOULD GO-- AND YOU COULD NEVER SLEEP
THROUGH IT. >> YEAH.
>> James: UNTIL I SLEPT THROUGH IT, AND I WOKE UP TO
HEAR SOMEONE ELSE SAYING MY LINES ON STAGE.
>> NO. >> James: BUT IT WASN'T DAY
ONE, THIS IS SHOW 420, AND I WENT LIKE THIS, I WENT-- AW
