- [Mysterious Man] You're in, or you're out.
- How can I tell you if I'm in or I'm out
without you telling me the first thing
about what I might be in or out of?
- [Crystal] What attracted you to the film,
and playing these young men?
- You know what?
It was just a really good script,
and Bart's a good director,
if you've seen The Imposter,
it was just, I mean anyone woulda wanted
to do this movie.
I feel like our age range, a lotta guys
were after this one.
- I'd never read something that, you're readin' it,
and you're strapped in disbelief,
you're like, no way this happened.
And then, they have the real interviews,
the real guys kinda keepin' it grounded,
and reminding you that this actually happened,
across the board.
So that really intrigued me.
I'd never read anything like this.
- Yeah, dressing up as the old man,
was kind of what attracted me to it.
I was like, I wanna do that.
I wanna be an old person for a day or two.
- [Crystal] I know Bart didn't want you guys to talk
to the real-life characters you were playing.
Obviously they are all out of jail, out of prison,
and you had access to them.
I know he didn't really want you guys to talk to them.
But you each had a unique relationship with them.
Talk to me about the approach you took
to communicating with them.
- I broke the rules and found Warren through Twitter,
'cause I was pretty pissed off
that we couldn't talk to our counterpart.
That was part of, one of the main draws
of doing this film, is that it was a true story
and I could actually talk to him
and get some insight into why he did it, etc., etc.
But of course Bart didn't want us to do that.
Ultimately he did it so that we wouldn't be colored,
colored by their, they're ten years older.
So he didn't want that to color our performance
and make it so that we would have to
try to live up their expectations,
or not be as violent, or as angry
as they might have been in that situation.
- 'Cause the heist means something different to them now
then it did before they did it, right?
So, we wanted to serve who they were before that.
- The only real contact I had with Chas before,
was Bart supplied us all with some interviews
that are in the movie, to kinda get our feet wet
before kinda diving in and doing our own research,
like as a team, and with Bart,
and breaking everything down in rehearsals,
and figuring out what we were going to bring to it
on the day.
But I feel like Jared just said,
I'm 25 now, but I'm completely different
than I was when I was 15,
and if I had to explain something to you,
I would probably try to protect myself
in a certain sense, even if it's just unknowingly.
So, it was good, kind of giving us free reign
to kind of get some skin in the game,
and play these characters how we saw fit.
It was pretty liberating.
- [Crystal] Obviously the film is about a heist.
Everybody's had an experience of stealing something.
What was something that you've stolen?
- I still steal, to these days.
In shops.
They don't catch me.
(laughter)
Oh, Kinder egg, I like that, put that in there.
- [Crystal] What was the last thing you stole?
- Kinder egg.
I'm not even messing.
- [Crystal] OK, so Kinder eggs, that's the high--
- [Jared] I once got in a cop car.
- [Crystal] What?
- Yeah, the cops came to break up this fight,
and they didn't shut the door to their car,
so they come runnin' into the house
to break up this big brawl and I walk out,
and the car door's open.
I was like, son of a ...
I was like, I'll get in there.
Jumped behind the driver's wheel, lit up a cigar,
I was havin' a time.
Yeah, I had these Captain Blacks.
My friends walked by, it was my brother's girlfriend,
my friend's cousin, they come by,
they're like, Jared, get outta there!
And I'm tryin' to start this thing up.
- Man, my stories aren't that exciting.
When I was growin' up, we were tryin' to
get away with some PayDays, and some candy and stuff,
boring, boring stuff.
But never got away with it, 'cause they had
these little mirrors on the corner of the gas station.
So we thought we were bein' super stealth,
and we didn't realize that
we're on this reflection, doin' it.
It was stupid.
