good morning hank it's tuesday can you
introduce yourself hi i'm charlie
plummer and you play miles halter in the
looking for alaska tv show it's me denny
love the colonel aka chip martin what is
john like in real life
i think john is way funnier than people
think and he has way more what we call
the kids called drip than you think he
knows about all the new music he knows
about he he's very hip which i was
shocked about i don't know i don't think
i have that much drip because i don't
know 21 savages i do like that song a
lot
i find it relatable because i also have
a lot of lawyers oh do you when did you
first read it i read the book when i was
15. oh
i've never had that experience before
where i've read something and then
really so passionately want to be a part
of it and wanted to play a specific
character and now i'm getting to live
that and that's pretty
unreal and
i think too much about it sometimes i
didn't read the book i'm so sorry that's
what i got the audition and i think i
read it in less than a day and at that
point i knew i was like this story is
special i didn't know how big it was to
the world but to me i was like this
story is just special when denny
auditioned for the colonel
he memorized one of the colonel's
monologues from the book we just shot
that too oh yeah they sent that to me
and it was so beautiful it was that's
great wrenching i was like if i never
get to play the colonel i have to be
able to have performed that like i have
to what is one trait of miles that you
can relate to
too many too many traits what do you
like most about the colonel i think the
colonel has such a huge heart like he
just cares so much about people about
the school about this world
i think a lot of people are going to see
that in the show that the colonel has so
much heart if you could pick your name
the way alaska picks her name what would
you pick i would say manolo that was my
name in spanish that's a good name yeah
i think it means the romantic one oh
yeah manolo but you know you get to pick
your name yeah yeah spanish class yeah i
saw manolo i said manolo i think i was
pierre in french class come on man
charlie yeah that's so basic i've never
met a manolo but i want to see you all
got a name manolo jr
do you know about john's thing with
keanu oh yes
oh it's one of my favorite things about
john he's like jesus to you no jesus is
like jesus to me
he's
more like john the baptist how old do
you think john is
oh gosh why are you asking me it's just
saying it just aim low okay um 38.
yeah you didn't name that low what how
old are you
do you have any favorite last words the
last last words in the book are my
favorite last words what's your favorite
scene in the book the barn scene is my
favorite because i feel like in that
scene you get to know everybody you know
in high school that's a big deal finally
like express your truths yeah people
that it's hard to confide in people yeah
still hard because you gotta trust them
enough to say those things out loud and
not be judged and not have people look
at you differently that's a really big
moment what is the meaning of life
oh my god um
who knows but i think that the meaning
of life is to learn
that's what i would say i think the
meaning of life
is love what song enables you to
perfectly envision the atmosphere of
looking for alaska it's hard to pick one
song but i would say the song 29
stratfor departments by bonnie bear my
looking for alaska song is love love
love by the mountain goats
