NEXT CALLER Main Cast Interviews

WEBVTT
1
00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:07.240
Hi, I'm Brian T. Shirley.
2
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:12.720
I'm associate producer and I'm also playing.
3
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.240
Richard Harding for Next Scholar.
4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:23.120
So Next Caller is actually kind of like the Bastard Child,
5
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:24.000
if you will.
6
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:29.120
Have Held Delivered in.
7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.359
The first episode of Next Caller, I was supposed to,
8
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.960
and I think I may have even did a call
9
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.359
in as some sort of just kind of like a
10
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.119
one time character or something. But then I was also
11
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:47.359
going to play the Pillar comedian that I had played
12
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.479
and Held Delivered. But Ron started making some changes to
13
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.359
Next Caller and developed a different shoot, a different way,
14
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:03.399
you know, a different rabbit trail all together for this thing,
15
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.159
and said, hey, changeing it up.
16
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.200
You're you're going to be a different character. This is
17
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.519
who you're going to play, et cetera, et cetera.
18
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.400
So it was Richard Harding that I became at that point,
19
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:23.000
who's pivotal in the I'm kind of like the kind
20
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.319
of the normal guy I guess out of everybody else
21
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.159
and kind of the one that keeps the whole thing
22
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:34.120
grounded in a way. And yeah, so I really didn't,
23
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.680
you know, read a script and go, oh gosh, I
24
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.000
want to play this guy or this guy is interesting
25
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.680
and like him. You know, me and Ron, we've been
26
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.280
kind of developing this thing together. So you know, he's
27
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.280
the one that writes it and does all those things,
28
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.840
and I kind of read over some of the scripts
29
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.319
when he gets them done and try to tighten him
30
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.519
up for him, because he's doing a.
31
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.760
Big job here. He's writing, editing.
32
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:06.239
But the music underneath everything, and you know, developing this
33
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:10.479
whole series. So you know, it kind of helped out
34
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.919
on the side. Yeah, I enjoyed playing Richard a lot.
35
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.280
Hello everyone, David Van Williams here, and I want to
36
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.240
talk about the web series Next Caller. The finale's up.
37
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.759
Everything has a finale, but this one is going to
38
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.560
be interesting. I play silas l morning Star in the series,
39
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:40.400
and I'm pretty much shadows right hand man, so everything
40
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.800
is cool and quiet, and I make sure that everything
41
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.319
is running smooth with the equipment and everything at the
42
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:48.199
radio station.
43
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.439
My name is Ricky Peterson and my character on the
44
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.639
Next Color is Vattlers came.
45
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:00.479
Vers.
46
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:08.520
Kane was an evil collect where he pastor Now. I
47
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:14.159
tried to create a sinister wrote for rats and also
48
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.800
wanted to not only rank him intimidating when I wanted
49
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:24.639
him to create such a fear that you either wouldn't
50
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.240
know what I was going to do next or even.
51
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.360
Wouldn't want to think about it.
52
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.960
Now, I wrote with Richard Harding.
53
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:41.240
I remember seeing with Richard and I told Richard, I said,
54
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.759
I know exactly what your wife is doing right now,
55
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.680
and I know where each children what it was school.
56
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.280
And I think that really worked.
57
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:57.639
I think that that terrified Richard and created a deep
58
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:02.560
sense of fear. They think I pulled that off Wooly
59
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:08.439
braywell with Richard in that scene. Now, Lord was another
60
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.240
scene with a shadow, and I think it worked a
61
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:19.319
lot differently. Shadow wasn't intimidated. I remember telling Shadow on
62
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.959
the scene that there was a man who told me
63
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.959
there's two sides to the street, and I told Shadow,
64
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.040
make sure you walk down the right side of the street.
65
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.199
Did that intimidate the shadow and not in the least.
66
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.240
I can remember him coming back at me, and it
67
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.680
is still I think it's numable in my mind. He
68
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.959
said you have nothing but a parasite and stealing from
69
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:54.800
rural ladies in their greeting. So I don't really think
70
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.199
that my character woren't in that scene.
71
00:04:58.240 --> 00:04:59.160
But I didn't.
72
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:05.160
Have another opportuny to go deeper with Shadow still buy
73
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.519
your smile to my face.
74
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.720
Hello. My name is lj Alia and I'm an actor,
75
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:17.360
screenwriter and voiceover artist. I am so excited to be
76
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.879
a part of Nit'scolor because it gave me a lot
77
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.560
of opportunities to expand my skill as an actor and
78
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:33.199
use my linguistic skills. Ron talked with me about using
79
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:39.000
different accents for the character as she evolved through the series,
80
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.879
and so I was able to use my Russian, my French,
81
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.240
my German, and Italian.
82
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:47.600
For this character.
83
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.279
And also the character appealed.
84
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:58.199
To me from an emotional sense because she is very complicated.
85
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:05.040
She's very sign towards Shadow and flirting, but then she
86
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.680
turns quickly with every phone call, she.
87
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:16.560
Starts becoming aggressive and threatening and basically evolves into a
88
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.560
character that we know is going to be very dangerous.
89
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.120
So then this was a real challenge for me and
90
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.120
a lot of fun.
91
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:29.959
I think the scene that really.
92
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.680
Got to me was the last scene because I'm playing
93
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.199
it with my nephew. For one thing, my nephew, Brennan Shirley,
94
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:46.240
plays a character that tried to help me out in
95
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.639
the middle of everything, and I don't give too much away,
96
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.560
but his character is kind of on the run and
97
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:57.920
when things start going sideways in the story, and I'm
98
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.199
there to kind of help him, and you know, it's
99
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:06.000
it's a little bit emotional because we don't know what's
100
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:06.680
going to happen.
101
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:08.959
We're kind of both of us are scared.
102
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.800
So you know, Richard Harding goes from this guy that's
103
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.639
in control. You know, he's the one that makes the
104
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:22.120
shots at the radio station and then everything gets flipped.
105
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.160
So you know, he goes from this in controlled, grounded guy,
106
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:28.319
no nonsense.
107
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.720
You know what I say is, you know what goes
108
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:33.199
to kind of you.
109
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.279
Know, throughout the story starts giving a little bit of
110
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.319
his power away because he sees that things are shifting,
111
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.240
and by the end of it, he's running for his life.
112
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.800
So you know, my character goes through kind of a
113
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.240
big arc and the way this thing.
114
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:56.839
Ends, you really don't know where he's at because he's
115
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:58.399
got to get on the road and leave.
116
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.240
So yeah, I think that ending scene, the last one,
117
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.319
especially was.
118
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:08.079
Development.
119
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:09.680
Ron and I.
120
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.279
When the first started, Ron asked me to come on board.
121
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.839
I said, sure, why not, And then we started throwing
122
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:21.920
things out like characters, and my characters should be kind
123
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.399
of evil but suave. So I came up with the
124
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.839
name Silas l Morning Star.
125
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.199
I thought that was, you.
126
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.480
Know, a devilish name, so to speak.
127
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.360
And then we started working on Ron's character.
128
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:43.279
And Ron's character was this radio host talking about demented
129
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.279
things and.
130
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.759
You know, just evil type things at midnight.
131
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:49.960
And then Ron.
132
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.720
Ron's shadow. We started talking and talking and something said
133
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:55.600
this guy.
134
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:59.960
Should be Ron. So Ron said, okay, I'm gonna think
135
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:00.440
about it.
136
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:05.159
Next thing. I know, the shadows blind, but it worked out.
137
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.159
It worked. I believe that.
138
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:13.759
That gave Shadow his character and what he needs to
139
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.559
be to hold and carry the show.
140
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:17.879
The series.
141
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:23.799
My character, he was just cool as can be. Everything
142
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.000
is going nice, and then all of a sudden in
143
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:31.519
the finale, I can't tell you, but all hell breaks loops.
144
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:32.559
I guess.
145
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.879
My favorite character in this series.
146
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:41.159
Probably would be I lean towards Silas, which was played
147
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.679
by David Van David was a guy at the radio
148
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.240
station that was just very creepy looking.
149
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.559
It's real creepy looking, and to add to to that,
150
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.759
he had this very mencing woice to go along with it,
151
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:04.679
and a tremendous laughter the sounds are just they would
152
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.320
not go They were just incredible.
153
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:10.840
I have to say that.
154
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:19.000
The most difficult and challenging scene was the finale.
155
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.600
That was technically difficult.
156
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:28.639
For me, but it was also a wonderful blessing because
157
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.600
I got the opportunity to do something most actors just
158
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.320
dream of, and that is to write my scene and
159
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:42.879
act in. So thank you, Rue, and also thank you
160
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:47.080
to David Ben Williams and Bran Ti Shirley for producing
161
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.879
this and working as actors in. I'm sure there's a
162
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:54.600
lot of other things they were doing behind the scenes.
163
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:59.080
But this person might be your father, but he's not
164
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:04.600
your family, and basically telling him that we're going to
165
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.120
be his family from now on. But that was pretty powerful,
166
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:13.639
you know, because you're telling somebody who's running from their
167
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.120
father that that's not their father. I mean that there
168
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.679
is their father, that's not their family. So I love
169
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:26.840
delivering that line. And you know, that whole conversation, as
170
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.879
a matter of fact, was full of some things, and
171
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:36.080
I kind of rewrote one of the lines. I think
172
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.440
there were a few that I did because Ron gave
173
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:43.360
us that freedom. And the other line I liked was something,
174
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.399
oh to the effect of, Yeah, you didn't take me
175
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.799
anywhere that I wasn't already going. That was another line
176
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:53.600
that I really liked and I got to kind of
177
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.840
play with that, and Ron let me take liberty with
178
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:02.120
the script on some of that. So that line, those
179
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:03.960
two lines, really.
180
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.360
That one. When I delivered those.
181
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:10.600
Two, especially when I delivered I can really get into that.
182
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.639
So Ron gave me a lot at you well on that.
183
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.799
I think all of us, especially in this last episode
184
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:18.879
that scene, I got a lot at you on.
185
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:24.320
So now we're going to talk about the ensemble. The
186
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:29.279
ensemble was incredible. You know, these are people that I've
187
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:32.960
worked with for the past, where I was already seven
188
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.600
years something like that, seven years.
189
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:35.879
Something like that.
190
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.679
I've worked with these people on shows before, and you know,
191
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.600
you always confront you always see people, and then you
192
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.960
know you can pick out those that are actors and
193
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.960
those that are just there for a paycheck or to
194
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.320
say that they were on a show.
195
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:57.720
And this was good casting. I you know, as an associate.
196
00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:00.679
Producer, I helped Ron with casting some of the people
197
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.080
that I thought would be brilliant for these parts, and
198
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.519
it turned out they were brilliant for the parts.
199
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:09.720
You involved.
200
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.840
So many of us who love to act and enjoy
201
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:21.519
the film media. You gave us an opportunity that I'm
202
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:25.600
sure we are all grateful for, and it was a
203
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:33.960
collaboration of really high energy. The finale scene was a
204
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:39.159
lot of fun. It was difficult, it was challenging, and
205
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:45.399
I was able to work with the amazing folks at
206
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:51.440
Trident Tech and my friend Steve Witt was the director
207
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:56.080
for the scene and put together the film crew of
208
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:04.759
students there, so that one's just an amazing day. I
209
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.120
haven't seen the scene yet, so I don't know what
210
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.440
Ron has done.
211
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:14.759
With the scene, how he's merged it into the whole episode.
212
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:17.759
And I can't meet I would I would pick you know,
213
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:21.600
a scene now, probably the last two episodes. I'm not
214
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:26.080
sure which one, to be honest, because they all kind
215
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.840
of live in their own little world sometimes, so that's
216
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:30.519
very tough.
217
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:30.919
I would.
218
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.360
I would say, you know, the last two episodes.
219
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:38.519
I don't know if I could take one scene.
220
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:42.440
I mean, I think, you know, some of the stuff
221
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:47.879
that Ron did with you know, David, definitely, you know
222
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:50.759
they've got great stuff together. You know, any of the
223
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.159
ones with Ron and somebody would be good teasers. His
224
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:01.480
dialogue is really cool. You know, he really has a
225
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.559
great wave of delivering.
226
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:05.759
It and speaking it too.
227
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:10.480
So I would say just any of those with Ron
228
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:12.679
and somebody else.
229
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:13.960
You know, if you could just take a.
230
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.320
String of Ron with several different people and put them together,
231
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.320
that would probably be the best teaser for this, you know,
232
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.120
or even just Ron's some of his monologue that ran through,
233
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.440
you know, and is the way he speaks and the
234
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:32.600
way those words are, those would be great teasers.
235
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:34.399
You know.
236
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:38.039
It's sad to see that the finale's here, but like
237
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:41.120
I said, everything has a finale at one point. But
238
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.519
this was a nice show to work with.
239
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:45.159
You know.
240
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.559
It's interesting that, you know, we didn't work together, so
241
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:53.000
to speak, but you know, it was up to the
242
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:57.639
individual actor to be the cameraman, to be the lighting,
243
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.440
to do all of that stuff and then you know,
244
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.039
put it together. Whoa put it together to help Ron out,
245
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.519
you know for his editing, Yeah, they would go.
246
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:12.120
So that was very interesting.
247
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.639
I'm glad that I had the chance to be an
248
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:30.360
assistant producer and get things going and grab characters and
249
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:31.000
it was just.
250
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:32.159
A great experience.
251
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.639
And I'm sure Ron will have something of just sleep
252
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:39.559
because once you, if you're an actor or a creative person,
253
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.919
once you taste something, you want to do it again,
254
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.600
but only learn from what you did the first one,
255
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.039
and then you go on to the next one, and
256
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.639
so on and so on and so on.
257
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.480
So it was very it was a very great show
258
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:56.120
to work on.
259
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:02.600
Ron Aloud, my grandson and my brother to have parts
260
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:07.759
in the series. It was very nice of him to
261
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.160
do that, and that'll be something that I can cherish
262
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.279
for the rest of my life. And my grandson, my brother,
263
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:16.440
they can do the same.
264
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.480
Yeah, well, I think, you know, I'm kind of a
265
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:23.160
little I guess biased.
266
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:29.160
My nephew Brennan when he played Ezra the last scene
267
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:31.839
once again where he's on the phone, he blew me
268
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.680
away because I've seen him kind of progress. So that's
269
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:39.680
a little bit, you know, unfair, I would say, But yeah,
270
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.079
I saw him and some of the other stuff that
271
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:46.319
he's done a couple of other really low budget features
272
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:49.279
where he plays you know, the characters are kind of
273
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:55.319
one dimensional, and so this one he really he really
274
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:59.519
brought it, and I was very proud of the other one.
275
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:05.680
David really blew me away, as you know, Silas, especially
276
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:08.359
the last episode. Wow, you know, I got to say
277
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:14.079
he really, you know, he held that that whole this
278
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:16.839
whole episode in the palm of his hand when he
279
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:19.599
was doing that. I mean, he really did, because you know,
280
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:23.039
now we're finding out some other things about him that
281
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:26.720
you know, nobody would have guessed. And yeah, he really
282
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:31.720
turned he turned that character on its head. So I
283
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:34.119
got to give him a shout out for that. Everybody
284
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.680
did a great job or he really had some great performances.
285
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.720
I got lucky being able to do a scene with
286
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:44.079
Crystal in person. That was very cool. And Rick, we
287
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:46.200
didn't get to do a scene in person. Me and
288
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:51.079
Rick did, but you know him, I saw his scene
289
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.640
before I shot mine, which was you know, kind of
290
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.599
responding to him, and that was very helpful with me
291
00:18:58.480 --> 00:18:59.319
doing my character.
292
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:00.880
And you know, I've I've.
293
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.680
Got to see some good friends and people I know
294
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.599
in this series that did great. Charlie Moore and Ashley
295
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:13.559
O'Neil and just Robin did great too, so and Langley
296
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:23.400
who's always a professional, very very strong cast. Wow, great cast.
297
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:25.720
Then I was thinking about.
298
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.960
If there was a scene that I would like to
299
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:38.279
see my character perform next after the finale, and that
300
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:45.519
would probably be seeing her emerge with her full powers
301
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:51.519
in the darkness with Shadow, and I don't know what
302
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:57.519
that would mean. That really would be using our imaginations
303
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:04.279
to the full extent, because we already know that Shadow,
304
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:11.920
because of the Third Eye, he has awareness of demons
305
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:16.279
in the dark and all this, and my character also
306
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:26.240
has incredible power over people and unfortunately uses it for
307
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:28.599
the wrong purposes for me.
308
00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:34.880
I guess I know the finale is going to be incredible,
309
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:39.599
and I hope everybody watches it. I'm not sure how
310
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:43.119
Ron has the energy to do all this. I mean,
311
00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:47.440
he edits, he writes, he directs, he acts. It's like
312
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.680
twenty four to seven. Ron's involved, and that's what makes
313
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:58.000
a great series like this. So everybody tune in, watch
314
00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:04.400
the finale, and look forward to whatever Ron's next project is.
315
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:10.240
Thanks wild, even with characters we had to get we
316
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.400
had to get to bias in it, and we just
317
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.680
started kicking it around and it's like what if.
318
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:18.880
He what if he was you when you were.
319
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.480
Little, or something like that, and then Ron comes up
320
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:27.119
with the idea that you know, they were twins. So
321
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:29.839
I'm trying not to give up some of the things
322
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.880
because maybe you didn't see it yet, but it was
323
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:38.119
very interesting. I'm glad that he got to have his grandson,
324
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:41.799
or have Tobias out there doing his thing. And Tobias
325
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:46.119
was phenomenal for his age to be able to recite
326
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:47.960
the lines.
327
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:49.559
Being a child star.
328
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:52.359
I was very impressed with seeing that.
329
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:56.799
I just got to tell you that this thing taught
330
00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:59.559
me a lot. Uh taught me a lot editing wise,
331
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:02.720
because I to edit some of my own stuff, not
332
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:04.440
a lot of it. I let Ron do most of
333
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:08.079
the heavy lifting, obviously, and so but I did learn
334
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.240
some things. I'm always learning with editing. I'm not that
335
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:13.880
great of an editor, even though my own short films,
336
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:14.559
but I'm growing.
337
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:16.519
I'm not really wanting to be an.
338
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.559
Editor, but you got to be, you know these days
339
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:24.519
in some facet you had to. And writing learned a lot,
340
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.279
you know, just helping Ron put the script together. I'm
341
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.519
always tightening, you know, He's I'm kind of on his
342
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:31.319
back a lot.
343
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:34.519
Not in a bad way. I'm just I just want
344
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:35.200
to you know.
345
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:38.839
I love cutting the fat because a stand up media
346
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:42.880
and I've tried to do that for years with cutting
347
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:44.960
stuff out of the jokes to get to the punchline.
348
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.480
And I think writing films is kind of the same way.
349
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.400
You want everything, you know, just everything to be towards
350
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:55.039
the story. There shouldn't not be any wasted time on
351
00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:00.480
that green But this was a very big learning process,
352
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:05.160
I think for everybody, and we all got to contribute.
353
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:07.400
And a lot of people got to contribute to this.
354
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.119
We had a lot of voiceover in the last episode too,
355
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.880
from just an amazing amount of people, and I you know,
356
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.279
shout out to all those folks, the whole cast, But
357
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.599
I love hearing these folks call you know, do their
358
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:26.279
voiceover call ins, and we unfortunately we couldnot There was more.
359
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.039
As far as I know, I didn't hear them, but
360
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:30.839
Ron told me there were some other people that he
361
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:31.440
just couldn't.
362
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:34.559
It was just not enough for Over to put them
363
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:34.920
in there.
364
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:39.480
So yeah, this has been a very big learning curve
365
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:44.680
for all of us, especially Ron. He has come miles
366
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:47.319
away from Hell Delivered.
367
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:50.440
That it was bad, but I mean, you know, you're starting.
368
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:56.039
From scratch almost with that series, actually basically you are,
369
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.480
and then it just came into something that or organic.
370
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.000
The next caller, I mean, Hell Delivered was but this
371
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.400
thing took on a life of its own and we
372
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.599
were all able to write, sometimes write our own dialogue.
373
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:12.960
Basically are kind of put together our scenes.
374
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.680
So I think we all learned that way too as
375
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:18.920
actors and kind of directors.
376
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:20.640
You know, we got to direct.
377
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:23.480
Ourselves and try to figure out, Okay, we got to
378
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:23.880
fit this.
379
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:25.160
Into Ron's world.
380
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:28.400
What can we do to shoot this scene to make
381
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.319
it kind of easy for Ron to edit and you know,
382
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:34.400
makes sense and look good.
383
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:36.400
You know, we don't want them boring. We want people
384
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:37.279
to watch, you know.
385
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:43.200
I think my favorite line in my.
386
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:49.000
Rule as Carmela, the French accent.
387
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:54.119
Was one that was really creepy, but it kind of
388
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:55.920
personifies how.
389
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:02.559
This character is obs sessed and won't let go. And
390
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:06.480
that's when she says, like at, I will not let go.
391
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:13.480
So that's kind of creepy, but that's the person she is.
392
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:22.680
She's obsessed and believes that she has a right to.
393
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:26.000
Be overcoming all of these.
394
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:29.960
People in the next Collar studio, and.
395
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:35.599
Her attempts to gain control of Shadow don't stop.
396
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.839
She's relentless.
397
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.759
I don't want to give too much way, but yeah,
398
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:49.000
the character that surprised me the most in the series
399
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:55.400
was that of Leela's that Langley Cornwell played in the
400
00:25:55.440 --> 00:26:02.839
first episode that was such a fun character, her crazy
401
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:09.559
bromps throughout history with various figures.
402
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:10.039
It was.
403
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.160
It was delightful.
404
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.920
And then if there was a scene that I felt
405
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:24.400
would draw me personally to want to watch the next
406
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:29.599
Color series, I think that would be the scene performed
407
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:31.960
by Tobias Fraser.
408
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:41.720
Shadows Past, because it's just sweet and he sings and
409
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:47.559
it's mysterious and you want to know why Shadow reacts
410
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:53.319
so negatively to this Color in particular, and what are
411
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:55.319
the secrets that he's not sharing?
412
00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:57.799
You know.
413
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:01.720
It was a connection Ron again that we met and
414
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:04.559
he always said he was going to do something like this,
415
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:09.880
and here we are with the finale, very happy with
416
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.200
but sometimes you know, you start talking to people and
417
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:17.720
you find people that are true people, and of course
418
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.119
runs the true people and all the ensemble. The ensemble
419
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.519
was these are people that I've worked with and brilliant, brilliant,
420
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:31.160
brilliant casting. You know, it was just fun to be
421
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:35.640
able to act with them. Big shout out to those
422
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:41.039

That's all I have to say, so all in all.
428
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.200
It was a wonderful experience, and I feel very grateful
429
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:16.680
to all of the folks involved, the new faces and
430
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:21.920
my friends that I've worked with before. It was an
431
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:26.960
amazing journey and I'm kind of sad that it's over
432
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.519
because I really looked forward to each episode and each
433
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.720
new personality that Ron would send me.
434
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:39.200
Thank you anyway, very proud to be part of the
435
00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:39.920
Next Caller.
436
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:42.559
And I'll hope you folks if you haven't already taken
437
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:45.039
a look at it, you know and know that it's
438
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:49.240
a low budget, passion project.
439
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:53.359
But really, if you watch it from the first.
440
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:57.440
Episode to the last episode, you see the development and
441
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.559
you see everything just getting better and better. As far
442
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:04.640
as just the whole uh you know, just the whole thing.
443
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:10.599
It really you can tell our progression as writers, actors, directors,
444
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:11.200
the whole thing.
445
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:16.519
