I AM SO EXCITED TO GET TO
TALK TO TWO OF THE STARS OF MY
FAVORITE SHOW OF THE YEAR THE
QUEEN'S GAMBIT ON NETFLIX
JOINING ME IS RUSSELL LEWIS AND
MATTHEW LEWIS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FASCINATED
BY THE PROCESS
THE ADDITION PROCESS IN
GENERAL IS MAGNUS CHOSE TO BE
AUDITIONING OUT OF THAT NUMBER
ALONE IS AMAZING WITH THIS SHOW
WE WORK WITH THE DIRECTOR AND
HE WANTED TO WORK WITH US AGAIN
SO HE WROTE THESE FOR US
I LOVE THAT.
HE WROTE IT JUST FOR YOU GUYS
OUT THROUGHOUT THE SERIES.
YOU GET TO SEE THEM THROUGHOUT
THE SERIES AND I LOVE THAT
ASPECT OF IT.
BY THE WAY, WHERE DID YOU SHOOT
THE SHOW BECAUSE IT LOOKS
BEAUTIFUL.
THE FASHION IS AMAZING.
WHAT DOES THAT FEEL LIKE TO BE
OUTSIDE WITH THE 1950S AND 60S
THE CORE?
THAT HELPS YOU GET INTO THAT
UNIVERSE
IT TAKES PLACE ADD IT WAS
FILMED IN BERLIN PSALM WAS
FILMED IN TORONTO AND NOT HOW
LONG DID IT TAKE TO SHOOT?
WE WERE EVER LIVED FOR THREE
MONTHS THE FULL PRODUCTION
WE WERE THERE FOR THREE AND
WE ONLY WORKED 12 DAYS.
EREBUS A LITTLE VACATION.
IT WORKS AND I CAN'T PICTURE
ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS ROLE.
WAS IT A CLOSED SET?
SHE IS AMAZING TO WORK WITH
SHE IS BRILLIANT AND THE LOVELY
PERSON AS WELL WHICH MAKES THE
EXPERIENCE A LOT BETTER IF
YOU'RE WORKING WITH A NICE
HUMAN BEING.
THE SET WAS CLOSE.
CAST AND CREW AND EVERYONE WAS
THE WRITER AND DIRECTOR PULLED
SOME CAST AND CREW AND FOR US
IT WAS A LOT OF OUR OLD FRIENDS
THAT WE HAD WORKED WITH A FEW
YEARS AGO.
AND THERE WERE A FEW ACTORS
FROM GOD LISTEN FOR FIVE OTHER
CREW MEMBERS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED
ME I DON'T PLAY CHESS.WAS
THAT ACCURATE?
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN SO
CHALLENGING EVEN YOU GUYS WERE
PLAYING SOME GAMES AGAINST HER.
WE HAD A FEW CHESSMASTER'S
ONSET TO MAKE SURE IT WAS 100
PERCENT CORRECT.
WAS THE FEELING LIKE KNOWING
IT WAS GOING TO GAIN MOMENTUM
TO GET OVERWHELMING ACCOLADES
AND PEOPLE ARE LOVING IT AND A
LITTLE BIT OF DISBELIEF AND
AMAZEMENT AT THE TIME WE HAD A
GOOD SHOW BECAUSE WE WORKED
WITH THE TEAM PREVIOUSLY WE HAD
GOOD EXPECTATIONS BUT WE DID
NOT EXPECT IT TO BECOME AN
OVERNIGHT SUCCESS SUCCESS BY
WORD OF MOUTH BECAUSE THERE'S
NOT A LOT OF PROMOTIONS FOR A
I TOLD EVERYONE I CAN YOU
HAVE TO WATCH THE SHOW.
WHAT IS IT LIKE WORKING WITH
YOUR BROTHER?
I HAVE TWO BROTHERS AND I CAN
IMAGINE WORKING WITH MY
BROTHERS.
HOW IS IT WITH YOU GUYS?
WE GET ALONG
WHEN YOU'RE IN ANOTHER
COUNTRY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT
EXPERIENCE WITH SOMEONE INSTEAD
YOURSELF.
DID YOU HAVE TO WEAR ANY
WHIGS OR IS THAT YOUR NATURAL
HAIR?
'S I KNOW YOU GUYS LIKE TO
WORK TOGETHER BUT ARE YOU
WORKING ON ANYTHING IN THE
FUTURE THAT WE CAN LOOK FORWARD
TO SEEING?
SEMI THINGS ARE STARTING TO GET
BACK BECAUSE OF COVID-19 AND
EVERYTHING.
FINALLY WE HAVE A COUPLE OF
FILM GOING TO THE FILM FESTIVAL
RIGHT NOW AND I AM ALSO WORKING
ON A FEATURE FILM AS WELL WE
DOWNTIME.
BEFORE I LET YOU GO.
IF SOMEONE HAS NOT SEEN THE
SHOW GIVE ME A LITTLE ELEVATOR
PITCH ON WHY THEY SHOULD WATCH
IT AND WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
I WOULD SAY BECAUSE IT
FOLLOWS A NOT A REAL PERSON
ABOUT A REAL PERSON IN THE REAL
WORLD THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANY
ACTION OR VIOLENCE.
OR SEX OR NUDITY.
IT'S NOT WHOLESOME BUT
CERTIFICATES A STORY EVERYONE
CAN RELATE TO AND IS SO REAL
THAT YOU DON'T MIND THE SLOW
CHARACTER BUILDING BECAUSE YOU
GET SO INVOLVED BECAUSE
EVERYONE KNOWS SOMEONE LIKE
THIS IS A FAMILY OR FRIEND
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO ADD I
RELATE TO A LOT OF CHARACTERS
THE SHOW IS SO GREAT I WILL BE
WATCHING FOR YOU IN THE MOVIES
AND ON TV AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
TIME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK.
WILL YOU FIRST MENTIONED
THEM I THOUGHT THEY HAD NOT
BEEN IN THE BUSINESS BEFORE
THEY WERE IN A SERIES CALLED
GODLESS WHICH I HAVE NOT SEEN
BUT IT WHAT TO WATCH IT NOW
BECAUSE THERE REALLY
HARD-WORKING ACTORS AND THEIR
AUDITIONING I WAS COMMUNICATING
WITH THEM THEY ARE POUNDING THE
PAVEMENT.
I JUST ADMIRE THEM SO MUCH.
DO THEY ALWAYS WORK AS A
TEAM?
THEY DO SEPARATE PROJECTS
USUALLY PEOPLE ARE ON THE
SAME PAGE AND THEY HAVE A BOND
AND THEY WOULD JOKE AND GET
SOME LIKE IT WAS BASED ON THE
BOOK IN THE 80S I BELIEVE AND
THEY WORKED WITH THIS WRITER
AND DIRECTOR ON GODLESS HE
WROTE THAT PART ESPECIALLY FOR
HIM.WE WORK GREAT TOGETHER
I'M GOING TO WRITE THIS FOR YOU
GUYS ON THE SHOW.
ISN'T THAT GREAT?
THAT TELLS YOU RIGHT THERE BE
NICE AND BE KIND BECAUSE YOU
NEVER KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO
MEET THE WAY UP OR THE WAY
DOWN.
I SAID IF YOU ARE EVER IN
THE AREA
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THEM.
WE WILL BE DOWNTOWN WITH THE
SPRINGFIELD ASSOCIATION.
DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
