I immediately wanted to kick it off with this, and so much of this is about fandom and community and coming together. And oftentimes, I see here we got Marvel Star Wars in D.C. And sometimes they put in a bit of a versus match, and I want to do it. away with all of that today. I want to hear just to hear from your guys' fandom

Starting point is 00:01:29 sides, what upcoming projects in Marvel, DC, or Star Wars could be whichever one are you most looking forward to this year? And Sean, you can't just say Superman. You know, you got to go with something else. So let's start with Vivian. Well, I mean, I haven't done much in the Star Wars universe, like filming wise since Obi-1. But I was really excited for when skeleton crew came out.

Starting point is 00:01:54 That was a really fun one because I actually already knew Robert, who plays Neil, before because I'd met him at R2, L.A., which is a droid event held in L.A., and he was a really sweet kid, so I really enjoyed that. We got to do the premiere at Disneyland, and it was a super fun premiere, but I was really happy to have some other kids my age in Star Wars that I was able to kind of welcome into the Phantom a little bit. And that was really fun to do. So I think the show turned out really good. I really enjoyed Skeleton Crew. I kind of felt like it was almost like the Star Wars version of Stranger Things, which I think was just really amazing. And it was kind of exactly for the audience it was catered to.

Starting point is 00:02:38 And I loved it. I love the show. So I think definitely that one. I really good at reviewing. I saw like a lot of people like going, she's right. Yeah, she's our voice of the people right now. I love seeing that. And Daniel, what about yourself?

Starting point is 00:02:50 Anything upcoming that you're like, I cannot wait to watch this. Well, back to Vivian's comment, I think it was more like Goonies, but I guess it's a different generation, right? I thought it was more of a Star Wars Goonies. And like Vivian, I didn't have very many kids that I got to play with on Star Wars, so I was kind of on my own, and I just kind of became an adult really quickly. I, with Star Wars, you know, they're constantly bringing out new stories and new arcs and new developments on different characters and stuff like that. um we just did the bad batch um where they allowed me to voice mocks and then that was the end of the season so um you never know where uh they would create from or bring forward and uh you never know when you'll see

Starting point is 00:03:35 me reprise boba hopefully not in their future hopefully in your future and sean what about yourself uh yeah let's see what am i excited about um besides the NBA playoffs i um i am uh you know as far as Marvel goes, I used to have a guy on the inside who would tell me what was going on with Marvel, but now I don't know as much. I'm a lot more curious to hear what you guys are excited about, about what's coming out. But certainly with DC, it's super, super cool. As you mentioned, Superman, I know that I'm really excited to see The Lanterns television series. I had a blast doing Creature Commandos. It's one of my favorite things that I've worked on in my career. I know there's a peacemaker season two coming out.

Starting point is 00:04:21 There's more a series. And so, like, you know, from talking to my brother, James, about that stuff and knowing sort of what the overall vision is for the world building, I think is really, really exciting. Yeah, absolutely. That Weasel episode of Creature Commandos. That was one of the craziest things we saw at the end of last year. That was awesome.

Starting point is 00:04:40 Thank you. So I wanted to ask, Vivian, you played such an iconic character as Leah, known for leadership, strength, and her rebellious. a spirit, but stepping into her younger years, it opens up new layers we haven't seen before. Was there a moment during the process where you found yourself discovering traits about Leah that you hadn't considered before booking the role? And did you discover, and any of those discoveries, that they shape how you approached her performance? Yeah, I mean, I think I really, really loved that we got to explore Leah as a person a little bit more in Obi-1 and getting to see

Starting point is 00:05:18 kind of what she was like younger because we got that a little bit with Luke already of understanding how he grew up on Tatooine and like the only thing we really got about Leah was that she grew up as a princess on Alderon and like we didn't get much else originally so having that expanded on was just really special and really amazing and you know I've said in probably every panel I've been in but please Lucasfilm I really want to explore like a teenage Leah show I think it would be so fun to do something like that because I think it would really open up new

Starting point is 00:05:51 parts of this character that we've known for so long, but we haven't really known. And I really want to explore that more, so I really hope I can play her again someday and expand more of those special traits that

Starting point is 00:06:07 we hopefully will get to see someday. Yeah, absolutely. I think we'd all love to see that. That's dang good PR right there. That was really impressive. Hustling for work, that's smart. I need to do more. Yeah, I'm up here. You know they're creating in Star Wars right now. Daniel, I wanted to ask, Boba Fett,

Starting point is 00:06:22 he's often seen as like the ultimate bounty hunter, but that larger-than-life image can sometimes overshadow the more subtle layers of who he is. From your perspective, what inner traits or complexities do you think fans might overlook? And which aspects of Boba's character do you wish people would highlight a little bit more? That's a good question.

Starting point is 00:06:44 That's all I needed today. It was pretty just said that one time. That's it, yeah. Pass. No, you know, the thing about Boba Fett is that he had such a small role in the original three or two, I should say, because he was only in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. But I think people were attracted to him because he was this, you know, not very out there, withdrawn guy who had this military-esque with all these different gadgets

Starting point is 00:07:15 and weapons and stuff like that. And, you know, it's funny when they hired me, I wouldn't shut up. So we couldn't be more further than each other. But I forgot your question. It just shocked me. Just which traits of Boba Fett do you feel like you wish fans would highlight a little bit extra that maybe perhaps might be a little overlooked as opposed to just like stoic, ruthless, and all about survival?

Starting point is 00:07:40 I mean, you know, we got to, again, Vivian, we got to go backwards when they came back to me, and we got to see some of the founding and beginnings of Boba Fett and why he became the bounty hunter he did. And it wasn't necessary that he hated every bounty hunter. He just especially hated one bounty hunter, which ended up becoming a job. And then being able to learn that Boba Fett had a father that ended up becoming,

Starting point is 00:08:07 a clone donor that ended up becoming his father and all these different backstories that gave more death to the character. I'm a huge Star Wars fan. It was funny because you read some of the original books and they go to where Boba Fett was a human. Now they have to kind of scratch that all out and rewrite BobaFed as a clone. So I think every day we're just learning more stuff

Starting point is 00:08:27 about BobaFed and some of the fan, you know, stories and fictions that people come up with. I'm like, yeah, that's great. Yeah, that's awesome, you know. And I think the fans have a better concept of who this character really is because they're the ones you create and built him and made him, you know, the iconic character that he is today.

Starting point is 00:08:43 Well, while you might think the fans have this, and they do, they have a really good understanding of the character, I know the fans love the hell out of your portrayal of Boba Fett, so thank you for all your contribution. Well, I grew up in the original series, right, when episode 1, 2, 3, 3, 4 and 5, 5, 6. I didn't graduate, as you guys can tell. I made my, off my, this beauty, no. But now I forgot what I was saying again. Yeah, it didn't even really matter. Well, Sean.

Starting point is 00:09:16 It was entertaining regardless. Sean, what do you think about Boa Fett? A lot of the characters... You got any insights? Come up with that. Well, when I was a child playing with my action figures in the basement, I got a lot of insights. I didn't really.

Starting point is 00:09:27 Go on. A lot of the characters that you play, like Cragland, Rocket, Weasel, they're outsiders, misfits, or perhaps underdogs. Is there something about these kind of characters that personally resonates with you? Or is it more just about the creative challenge of bringing them to life?

Starting point is 00:09:43 Yeah, I think that my, you know, as an actor, my career has been very much defined by a willingness to kind of do anything, you know, and I end up playing a lot of weirdos and oddballs and things like that. I love the idea of taking a character that from the outside is going to seem very, it's going to seem funny or silly. are strange and tackling it in exactly the same way as I would tackle any other role in a kitchen sink trauma or in a Shakespeare play or anything like that and really try to find the truth. I mean, that's what we do, right? We try to find the truth of whoever the character is. So I think I love the challenge of doing that for a character like Weasel, who, and he's a good one to bring up because people would see the suicide squad and then I have fans coming up and saying yeah you know wait weasel's hilarious he's so

Starting point is 00:10:48 crazy and weird and I'm like just wait until you see him in creature commandos it is not as funny as you think it is and then uh and then kind of you know trying to you know weasel have has a different toolkit than other characters do he only grunts and and and you know and growls and weezes and and and howls and moans and chirps and all those things and but I'm still trying to trying to portray the truth of who he is and what he experienced. And I love doing that. I hope I get to do that my whole career and keep playing these characters kind of from left field. You know, that said, I like playing adult 50-year-old males, which is what I am, as well.

Starting point is 00:11:32 Like, I don't mind playing normal guys also. But, like, I'll take all of it, I think, is how I feel, you know. That's awesome. Any Gilmore Girls fans here? Yeah. I had a lot of people bring up, talk about Gilmore Girls, talk about Gilmore. I was like, I'll make sure to shout out Gilmore Girls.

Starting point is 00:11:48 There's no Gilmore Girls in space, sadly. Not yet. Yes, right, yeah, yeah. Vivian, we were talking about how you're a taekwondo black belt, which takes a ton of discipline, a ton of focus, and precision. Qualities that I would imagine you naturally carry over into acting, especially in action-heavy roles. How is your martial arts training shaped the way you approach physical performances,

Starting point is 00:12:11 like, and we can be heroes or Obi-Wan Kenobi? Well, it's interesting because I think it goes a little bit both ways. I think there were definitely things that I did that were inspired by stunts that I've done and stunts that I've done that's been inspired by, like, things that I do. So, yeah, I got my first-degree black belt. It took me, I think, five years, I'm going to say. I think five years I got my black belt and when I did we can be heroes that was in 2019 I was a green belt I believe and that was really fun because originally Guppy didn't have the importance in the story that she had had she was kind of just this like oh this cute little character for people would be like oh she's so cute and like she didn't have much else but once Ron like found out that I had done martial arts we were doing like the first two

Starting point is 00:13:12 weeks I want to say was stunt training because there was so much stunts for the kids to have to do so it was all on a green screen and when they figured out that I could do that stuff they did a few tests and then Robert like rewrote the script in a way where Gupy would have more fight scenes and more importance to the actual story which I really liked and then I ended up being a really fun role to play I got to do a lot of really fun stunts on that and then I think for layup, again, I did a lot of my own stunts on that. But there was definitely stuff like when I was falling off the building,

Starting point is 00:13:47 I had to do a lot of core strength and stuff to get there. And I even worked with a woman who was, I believe, a ballet teacher to get me to that strength level. And then I think that kind of inspired me to do Ariel Silks, which is my new kind of active activity that I do now. and I think so that was kind of an example where the acting stunt kind of inspired me to figure out that I could do something else as well and I think that worked both ways.

Starting point is 00:14:17 Wow. You sound like a very lazy person. Unproductive. Wow, that's correct. I'm not getting exhausted hearing you talk about all this physical exertion that you're doing. Well, Daniel. I'm a third-degree black belt couch sitter. Yes. Will you fight Vivian on stage?

Starting point is 00:14:39 I am not getting beat up by a 13-year-old kid on stage today. That wasn't in my bingo cutts with 2025. She wins. She wins. She wins today. Boba Fett, he's known as the symbol of survival and grit, but as a kid, you played him at one of the most vulnerable points in his life, watching his father die.

Starting point is 00:14:58 As an adult looking back, is there a layer to Boba that you understand now that you didn't as a kid? I just wanted the super introspection questions with you today. You know, I don't think anyone really knew Boba Fett before we came back and he reprised in Attack of the Clone. So I think we all got to find new layers and stuff like that about him. I mean, now Django Fet is now the clone template for the whole entire clone on me, you know? And they just take a bucket off and it looks like my dad.

Starting point is 00:15:33 which as we discovered in the clone wars, it got very confusing for Boba Fett, and I think one of his most famous lines was like, you're not my brother, you know, and I think that established that relationship where Boba Fett had to start to disconnect himself from the clones so that he was able to become the bounty hunter that he is today without any sympathy.

Starting point is 00:15:56 But, I mean, he's a very lairful character. I mean, now we've gone full circle and he came out of the Silek Pit getting to see him and then becoming, you know, the BobaFit that we now have today. It's kind of different. I like the story. I got a lot of people who were like, ah, it wasn't the best. But, I mean, I really truly liked it. And they brought me back as a flashbacks as a 13-year-old kid again.

Starting point is 00:16:23 That's really cool. Yeah. It was nice to get a check again. Lucasfilm written on it. Thank you. Thank you, Lucasfilm for all the money. Yeah. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:16:33 And Sean, portraying both Kraglin and, of course, the onset reference for Rocket, it requires a unique blend of physicality and emotional nuance. I think the general assumption is that you probably spend a little bit more time doing like character development homework for the live action performance more than the mocap rolls for like a rocket or a weasel. And we were talking about that a little bit earlier with Weasel. Is there a part of the preparation process of doing a mocap role for like a weasel, the process in terms of internal character development

Starting point is 00:17:02 that people might not actually expect or be aware of that you'd like to share? You know, I, really the most, the most important piece of it is that it's not that different for the performer. You know, there's technical things that are different

Starting point is 00:17:18 in terms of how the performance is being captured, but in terms of my preparation and how I approach, how I go from script to set, I don't really look at the case, characters is being incredibly different. It's just a different, you know, like I was saying with Weasel, it's a different set of, it's a different toolbox I have to use in order to portray the character.

Starting point is 00:17:44 And with Rocket, Rocket's a little different too because I'm only doing a piece of Rocket. You know, it's like it takes a bunch of people to create Rocket. And a lot of my job is really interacting with the other actors. and being available for them. But, you know, I think that the important thing to take away is that when you're doing these characters, because increasingly there's more and more characters that are on green screen or on, that are, you know,

Starting point is 00:18:15 CGI or CGI or CGI adjacent, you know, and as technology gets better, if you're an actor, there's just more and more work in that field. And I think that that's why it's important to always go back to the story, the character, what is this, you know, just the basics of acting. What is this character's motivations? What are they, what makes them tick? What makes them who they are?

Starting point is 00:18:41 And then you, and then it's really not that different. You can maybe heighten some of that stuff when you know that the, when you know the camera is picking up everything physically. But for the most part, it's more similar than it is different. I love to hear that because I know there's a big conversation over the last few years about like mocap and its role. and acting and to hear that it is pretty much like the same level of dedication and homework

Starting point is 00:19:05 and preparation is refreshing. Definitely. I feel like it should be recognized more. So thank you for sharing that. Vivian, you've already worked with some pretty legendary actors, obviously like even McGregor, for example, Sandra Bullock. What's been one of the best pieces of advice you picked up from them about staying grounded

Starting point is 00:19:21 or your craft? Oh, oh no. What advice have you given them? That's what we should be asking, Viv. It's just difficult because, I mean, I have worked as an actor for almost nine years, and so remembering everything everybody's ever said to me is difficult. Because I've received a lot of good advice over the years from people I've worked with, and I think I've had a lot of people who are inspirational to me.

Starting point is 00:19:56 and this is a question I would have to do later for homework so wait okay I will I'll figure this out but I think there were definitely a few things that I heard that I really liked I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt was a big inspiration for me I worked with him on Mr. Corman which was his show and I think he was such an inspiration to me because he told me like that nothing nothing in your life ever has to be limited unless it's by yourself because that was because he wrote directed starred in that movie and like produced and edited he did it like all and I think he was really that kind of inspiration of you don't have to choose to just be a writer or just be an actor that you can do all of it. And I think I received a lot of practical advice as well. Like Sandy taught me to jump

Starting point is 00:21:01 before like a big adrenaline rushing scene because it kind of got your blood flowing and it got you to that point. And then I think some of the best advice that I've received was from a woman named Sammy who worked with me on Obi-1. She was like kind of like my acting coach but she was like less of us she went over the lines with me and more helped me understand how to get into character and she taught me to choose a color for my characters and choose a color for myself and then try and imagine myself like with that color as my aura it was it was kind of confusing but like it's hard to explain but it really helped me kind of separate myself from my characters in a way that if a character got hurt, it wouldn't hurt me personally.

Starting point is 00:21:56 And it made me able to really personally feel those characters without having to feel the emotional trauma that might be inflicted on them. That was actually a very beautiful answer. That was a great answer. Took me a minute, but I got there. Wow. Daniel, I'm not going to ask you a question about deconstructing BobaFet's past again, I promise. I wanted to, I was watching.

Starting point is 00:22:21 Last night, I was watching the Star Wars celebration video where you brought your son out on stage. And it got me curious about something, because you were speaking to about Tamora Morrison of how he really looked after you on set and how you two have stayed friends over the years. And totally stole my role. To they stole your role. That's son of us. But since he played your father on screen, has that bond ever influenced how you think about fatherhood or mentorship in your own life? Is there anything that you took away from that relationship that stuck with you beyond Star Wars?

Starting point is 00:22:49 Oh yeah 100% I mean I grew up without a father So I mean as a young man You know You don't realize until you get older And you have your own son how important it is To have a male role model in the household And my son just turned seven like four days ago

Starting point is 00:23:06 And Thanks Yeah Give that to his mom She deserves it more than I But you know Tim As soon as I walked in He was a huge

Starting point is 00:23:18 actor in New Zealand and I didn't have a clue who George Lucas was you and McGregor Natalie Pullman although she was gorgeous but Tim Woodhamarson I knew who he was because I'm from New Zealand he's from New Zealand he made a name of himself and became this iconic actor all over the world that most of us New Zealanders who wanted to be an actor inspired to become

Starting point is 00:23:38 and once he walked through the door I just got stash struck and he walked right up to me and he goes well I guess I'm going to be playing your dad you're going to be my son You call me, Dad, then I'll call you, son. So I was like, oh, okay, Dad. And he just looked back down on me, he goes, okay, son. So I spent a lot of time with him.

Starting point is 00:24:04 So from that moment, we really became Father and Son, and all through filming Star Wars with him. I'm like, Hey, Dad, where are you going? Oh, I'm just going to my trailer, son, you know. You want to come with me, boy? I'm going to, yes, yes, I'll come with you, Dad. So we kind of followed each other around. I got a funny story actually because I didn't grow up with a father.

Starting point is 00:24:25 When I finally got a father, Django Fet, he called my house. And my sister picked up the phone and she's like, we were always taught to ask who's speaking. It was kind of a polite thing we were all taught. Like, oh, can I ask who speaking? She's like, oh, this is dead. Yeah, you could imagine that, right? my sister said, what? Goes, this sister's dead.

Starting point is 00:24:51 And she goes, oh, click and hanged up the phone. Well, she thought, well, now he's famous. You start to call, right? Like, now you want to have a son. So he had to call back, and he's like, oh, dude, this is his dad, Timowena-Mor Morrison. She's like, oh, I'm so sorry, sir.

Starting point is 00:25:08 You know, and then she came running around the house looking for me, and I kind of felt a little resentment after that from the rest of my siblings. Like, like I, you think you'll be. better than us because now you've got a dad kind of thing. But, no, he's told me a lot. You know, he told me a lot about being humble, about our culture and, you know, making sure we keep the culture alive and how important it is to be a native,

Starting point is 00:25:33 Māori, you know, kid in person. And just about being there, you know? Like, he always calls, he'd always check on me. When we're at conventions, you know, we're still stuck to each other like glue. Me more to him than him more to me. But, yeah, I just try to show up, you know. I was telling someone earlier, you know, my favorite job today is being able to have the opportunity of taking my son to school and then picking him up after school, you know. And just those simple things like seeing him come out of school and, Dad, throw his school bag at me, you know,

Starting point is 00:26:07 when he goes and runs and plays with the other kids is one of the most fulfilling things I've had in my life. So just try to show up, you know, and do your best. As a father, you don't know what you're doing, but you just hope that you being there and being present is the most important thing. So, yeah. Wow, so he sounds more like Aquaman's dad than Boba Fett. Oh, I got a funny story about that one, too.

Starting point is 00:26:28 It's got some bad language from my side. But I try to take a picture with me, Jason, and him. And Tim was okay with it, and Jason, I don't think he really liked to style his brother very much. I'm like, we're kind of brothers. She had the same dad. Can we take a picture together? Yeah, Sean.

Starting point is 00:26:49 Oh my God, that's hilarious. I didn't think there'd be so many funny Tamora Morrison stories. We were talking about siblings, and Sean, you and your brother, James, you've obviously worked together on so many projects, but with sibling dynamics, especially in creative spaces, can be a little complicated for some people. What do you think has been the key to maintaining that collaborative energy over the years and has there ever been a moment

Starting point is 00:27:16 where you two didn't see eye-to-eye creatively or how do you guys come to solutions if you're not seeing eye-to-eye? Yeah, I mean, I think one of the things so James and I are, there are six in my family and I'm the youngest and James is the oldest. So it already helps that we have the dynamic

Starting point is 00:27:36 of him being the boss on set. Like I think if our roles were reversed, it might actually be trickier in a lot of ways if I was his boss but you know which kind of helps but we've been working together when we can for pretty much our whole

Starting point is 00:27:54 lives and so we have a we have a shorthand for communicating with one another that is that you I couldn't match it in any other job you know

Starting point is 00:28:08 we can we can talk about some and get to the heart of what the issue is creatively, talking about like working on a scene or something. We can do it very quickly. And I can look over at the monitor. We can be shooting a scene and I can look at his face on the monitor and know whether he's digging what's going on or if he wants to, if he wants to adjust it. And yeah, there are plenty of times when we have disagreements about something creatively. But I think that we don't, we never fight about it. It's like we here's what I think here's what you know we respect one another's opinion and um I think it helps

Starting point is 00:28:49 that we both are very uh we're both very focused and we like to have fun but I always say I always say when people say you know what's it like working with your brother I always say it's it's you know fortunately he's very good at his job otherwise I think it would be a lot harder um and I think he would say the same about me uh so I think that I think just the the fact that we we we carry that mutual respect for one another and we work things out and the other thing that's important i think this is important whether you're working with friends or or or family or your um you know boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse or whatever that like you have to be able to separate creative differences from from your real life you have to know that like like that you can say to somebody

Starting point is 00:29:35 like i don't i don't like that idea or i think that's all wrong and it's not personal you're saying that the way that collaborators talk and not the way that like you know siblings fight you know and i think it's good to always keep keep those things separate but you know we get along really well we don't fight a lot in my family we're not competitive with one another so i think that is really kind of the key i appreciate all the answers from all three of you on that and you guys gave a lot of great wisdom to to all that thank you guys so much i actually have one more thing to talk about with that so i'm actually an only child so i'm the only one here that doesn't have siblings, but there was a time that, like, some of the internet made up a brother

Starting point is 00:30:17 for me. I, so, like, it's so weird because I know where this came from, but it's still so funny to me that still some, like, celebrity pages say that I have a brother. I do not have a brother. I am an only child, but what happens is... DNA, that DNA.com or whatever it is, they're like, well, you actually do. But what happened was I grew up with cats. So I have five cats, and my cats have always been kind of like my siblings, especially

Starting point is 00:30:52 Zalvador. He is my mom's cat, so he's always been kind of like my baby brother. And so in one interview, when I was like six years old, somebody asked me, do you have any siblings? And I said, no, but I have furry siblings. I have a furry baby brother. And I guess people took that as just a weird way to describe a baby brother. So people started putting online that, oh, she has a brother,

Starting point is 00:31:18 but her parents like to keep her brother out of the public eyes, so he's never on her Instagram, and she never talks about him. And it was just so funny to me that it kept showing up on these websites. And she has a brother that she doesn't like to talk about, a baby brother. I'm like, that's not the case I talk about him all the time. You just don't realize that I'm talking about a cat. He does show up on my Instagram. But I just thought it was so funny that, like, if you look it up,

Starting point is 00:31:46 I'm definitely sure that there are still some sites that will say, and she has an unnamed brother. And I'm like, nope, I've told you his name, and also he's a cat. Wow. That's funny because my question was going to be. Can you tell us about your furry brother? So I appreciate you answering that for us. advance. Sean, do you mind, would you be able to, would you be willing to tell the audience your

Starting point is 00:32:11 cat's names? Oh yeah, my, my, my boys' names are Tommy and the business, and, uh, they are my pride and joy. They're not, like you have siblings. I, they are my, uh, my children. So, um, they're great. They're, they're, uh, they're, uh, they're getting older and they've, they've been with us a long time. And, and, uh, yeah, they're 15, you know, they're like, they're, and, uh, and, and, uh, they're the best. They're the best. I have, my wife and I have four cats ourselves. So I love that there's a big cat crowd except for Daniel for some reason. Well, no, no, I got to tell you my cat story. So I love cats. Let's go. Let's go. I love cats. But one of my, my wife's cousin was affected by the fire, so they came to our house for like a week and a bit and birthed their cat.

Starting point is 00:32:55 They said, this cat is lovely. I mean, I Airbnb to the house in New Zealand. This cat was the best thing ever. Like, I loved it. That's a good cat impression, by the way. Yeah. I mean, I got the videos to prove it. And I was going to get a bangle cat, but I've got this huge Star Wars collection that I knew that it wouldn't last very long if I got a bangle. So I'm like, I'll wait till I'm no longer addicted to Star Wars to become addicted to cats. But then my wife's cousin brings this cat along. It was the most vicious evil thing I could even imagine. Like, I'm taking it food to feed this thing. As soon as I opened the bedroom doors, like, I'm like, oh, easy. I'm just trying to give you food and then like I felt like I was a prisoner in my own house because of this cat.

Starting point is 00:33:38 What had you done to deserve that? Nothing. I rescued this cat from the fires. I'm like, you could have a little appreciation. That's accurate. You want to say my baby brother. I have the scratches on my head right now and then I have a pretty just puncture wound on my foot and he's my baby brother and we love each other very much but that's that's his way of love. We would send pictures back to my wife's cousin and be like oh here's a picture of a cat it's like ah it's like isn't she just so cute isn't she lovely I'm like no no it's the opposite I haven't been out of go in that room since the cat left and I left like a couple weeks ago and I'm still traumatized I still'm like no I just leave

Starting point is 00:34:18 the door shot now in case the cat's still in there so then she's like oh can you give it to my wife's mother to bring to L.A. I'm like how am I going to get the cat back into that cat bag with the little bubble on it? That's another story for another convention, but man, I'm telling you, for one of the only times I've been afraid in my life for a very long time, this cat was evil. I did nothing. I promise.

Starting point is 00:34:42 I love all animals. But this cat? You've always done something, whether you realize it's not. That's what everyone always said. Like, Dan, you must have done something. Like, don't have that face. Like, no, you have that, you've done something face. No, I swear, I just wanted to pat the cat.

Starting point is 00:34:56 I've got to show you guys a video now. Like, look, this is me and my other cat. New Zealand cat, the nice one. Have you guys ever heard of the series My Cat from Hell? Yes. No, but I'm watching it now. My wife and I were on the last episode of that show,

Starting point is 00:35:11 so I know what it's like to deal when you have to work on a relationship with a cat that you feel like, oh my God, I'm a little bit scared of this cat. I'm going to get attacked, so I know what it's like. We have five cats from hell. We went to peck and bought all these toys, all these treats and everything.

Starting point is 00:35:26 I could not bribe this cat to like me if I tried. You want a cat? See, the thing about cats, the thing about cats is, you can't, can we get back to wookies and stuff? How do we get on to cats? The thing about cats is you can't buy them things. It just makes them hate you more. It works for my wife.

Starting point is 00:35:47 The thing is, like, cats are so weird because we will buy them, like, a $300 cat tower, and they'll be like, eh. And then we'll pick up, like, a leaf from outside, and they'll just be like, this is the best toy. This is the best toy in the entire world that's ever existed. I'm telling you, I don't know if it's just like the natural thing of like natural instincts, but if you could find specifically pine needles, their favorite thing. It will get any cat to like just roll over.

Starting point is 00:36:13 And also those little fuzzy worms that you drag with an invisible string, I mean, works every time. It works every time. Speaking of cats, I just want to remind everybody that the Pasadena Humane Society is out here as well. as part of our event today. Yeah. And I think Greg has one more question. I have one last question.

Starting point is 00:36:33 I know I would get a little bit annihilated, Sean, if I didn't ask about a rumor here. A little rumor. I'm going to be very careful here. Are you going to rent a cat? Are you going to buy another cat? There's a rumor about a character you might be playing in this Superman movie. A little maximum lord, a little Maxwell Lord.

Starting point is 00:36:55 I can neither confirm nor deny those others. No, yeah. But they are out there. and they have not been denied. So I'll ask theoretically, if you were to play this guy. How would you balance respecting a character's history with bringing in your own creative instincts? You know, when I work with James on characters like that,

Starting point is 00:37:16 he's very good about being clear about the relevant source material. So it's not like you necessarily need to go back and research every single iterative. of a character that's been around for a long time. He, you know, we sort of talk about the character. Like, fortunately, I don't have the rich knowledge of comic books that he has. So he already knows all that stuff, but I don't. I'm not a deep diver into comics.

Starting point is 00:37:49 And so he'll bring some, he'll, we'll talk about the character first, and then he'll point me in the direction of, hey, for a little more reference, look at this maybe look at this and we kind of keep it on on board with what the film is and what his vision is for the movie and for the character okay well I can't wait to see if this is all true or not this rumor well that's it for our time today

Starting point is 00:38:13 please give another round of applause Vivian Daniel and Sean thank you guys so so much thank you guys so much thank you guys so much
