great and funny as well.
So did you direct this one? Is that what I hear?

Yeah, yeah, because we did
Army of the Dead and then at that time,

- I am and uh,
yeah and, one day Zack Snyder called me and said,
Martinez,
we have an idea for a potential spinoff for the character.
So would you direct the film? And I said, yes,
but who's the character. And he said, it's theater.
- Oh my gosh!
- And I said, thank God.
(cheers)
- That's so cool!
- I love the clapping.
- Are you getting recognized everywhere right now?
- Yeah.
(laughs)
You know, it's,
you know when it's,
when there are Germans involved a lot,
but there, you know, I have a,
there's a restaurant I love here in, in LA.
And, can I tell the story?
- Yeah.
- When I was, you know,
I was in a restaurant,
I was super relaxed and I had breakfast and they were like
a group of people looking at me, you know?
And I, and I thought the Americans they know me,
that's cool.
- Oh my God! This is my moment.
- Yeah, and, so, but after a few seconds
I recognized, okay no they're Germans
and then when they saw me recognizing them
they, they thought like, "okay let's come over,
let go over there. Can we have an autograph or a picture"
So I took a picture in front of all the other Americans in
the cafe, but you watch their faces like, "who is he?"
(laughs)
Who is this guy?
- I love that!
- They're gonna know soon, they're gonna know soon.
- I love it though! You find your people
wherever you go though.
I feel it about Texans.
Like I'm from Texas here and everywhere I go,
even if you don't know each other, you're like,
you're from Texas. And it's like,
you don't even know each other,
but you're like, "we're so similar."
So wait. So people think,
I heard that people say that you
look like Brienne Of Tarth,
right from Game of Thrones.
Is that what they say?.
- There could be, a lot of people say that. Yeah.
And it's like, you know.
- I love her.
- Yeah?
- Do you know that she was,
she was top two favorite characters
in that whole series for me.
- Look at first, first I need, I want to, I need to say,
sorry. Hi from Natalie Emmanuel because Natalie
Natalie, she, because we know
you're a huge Game of Thrones fan.
- Yes!
- And Natalie was like, "give her a big kiss and hugs".
- Oh my Gosh! Well, COVID kiss, COVID kiss.
(laughs)
Why was my mouth open?
(laughs)
That was, that was awkward.
(laughs and claps)
I don't know why I did that.
No, I love that, I love that.
So, do we have, I wanna see a picture
of Brienne Of Tarth,
but here's the thing,
(laughs)
you don't look identical,
but you could be cousins,
you know like, similar looking cousins,
I think so. I think so.
Do you ever get mistaken for anyone?
- Not very often, but my,
I think my wife would like me to be to be Brad Pitt.
(laughs)
So try that one if you can find it.
- After some, after some drinks,
I think so.
(laughs)
Looks awesome.
I think so. I think so.
(claps)
So what, you also do a very specific impression.
What is your impression?
- Oh yeah. My impression is, you know,
I don't know if you know, but in Germany,
all the movies from, you know, around the world are dubbed
So it's like,
- Yeah
- It's, dubbing is big in Germany.
So, and we have, like,
there is a voice for Eddie Murphy is a very,
it's a very, it's a voice where, when a German-voice,
when this guy talks on the street,
everyone would say it's Eddie Murphy. So,
- Oh because he does all the Eddie Murphy
- He does all the Eddie Murphy
- They hired the same person.
- The same, and he sounds like, you know,
Eddie Murphy in Germany sounds like this, like, you know,
like, (speaks German)
and it's like,
(laughs)
and, yes.
- I can't wait to have Eddie Murphy back on the show
(laughs)
- Yeah
(laughs)
- You should show him now
- If you would, if you would do that on the street,
when you would say, (speaks german)
Everyone would say, "It's Eddie Murphy! Oh my God!"
- It's like a Jamaican version.
Well, this is actually our audience.
Warm-up comedian is Ruben Irvin, and he's amazing,
he used to voice the character of donkey
at Universal Theme Parks, he's amazing at Eddie Murphy.
So could Ruben give you like a line and you dub it into
German for us?
- Yes, I can, I can do this.
- Okay, go ahead.
( does Eddie Murphy)
(laughs)
- That's amazing!
- That was, that was pretty fast,
but in Germany would sound like this.
(speaks German)
(laughs)
- I kinda wanna see all American films in German now.
Well that is what people to be dubbing then that's awesome!
