**WARNING: this interview contains spoilers of the movie!
I sat down with Tristan to get first hand insight about the movie and his role as the Prince. It truly was an honor to have Tristan on my shows and to provide insight behind the scenes, the practical special effects of the film, and to speak about the dwarves (who are NOT AI).
The Prince is pivotal part of the story from the opening of the movie, and we get to see him begin his courtship of Snow White before the Evil Queen sends her huntsmen to apprehend Snow White and her friends.
Obviously, this is not the same Disney fairytale that we watched growing up. This is a much grimmer version of Snow White. This movie dips into the broader elements of the blood and guts horror movie tropes while attempting to maintain that innocence.
The Death of Snow White is now in theaters and soon will be on Amazon Prime.

What are you doing dizzy fanatics out there?
That's your host of the most Benjamin Duttel coming back with
another. I can't say excited because I
haven't seen the movie yet, but hopefully exciting episode of
the horror heated YouTube channel and the South Jersey
Horror Podcast. Today I am sitting down with
Tristan Nokes, who plays The Prince and The Death of Snow
White, which is being released today.
(00:26):
In theaters or just in Seattle? I think what you just told me
before the interview. I used to live in Seattle, which
really sucks. Oh my God, now I'm kicking
myself in the ass. Anyway, so for what I
understand, this is a dark, grimversion of the Dizzy fairy tale.
Not your usual fairy tale you see on Dizzy and kids.
(00:46):
If you're under 18, don't go a while.
If you're under 13, don't watch this movie because they might
traumatize you. I don't know.
Whatever. Anyway, let's read my guest
then. Please, please give a warm
welcome to Tristan. How the hell you doing?
I'm doing great, man, Doing great.
It's Friday. We're good.
Ready for the weekend? Yeah.
(01:08):
I'm I'm dying to see this movie and see how it turned out
because I love watching dwarves in action.
I don't know what it is. It's just so weird.
It was so awesome working that time.
We didn't know Jeremy, who played Dozer, who's the the the
sleepy character of the dwarves.We didn't know he was so jacked
and ripped. Like, we were doing hair and
(01:30):
makeup, and within hair and makeup, there was a changing
room and Jeremy came up with hisshirt off and everyone was like,
and we're like, did you know he was ripped?
I was like, no, I didn't know hewas jacked.
And so and he was like, rippling, like pecs and ABS.
So then the director was like, hey, shirtless scene, question
mark. And Jeremy goes, yeah, So then
(01:53):
we definitely like Jason and Naomi wanted to put that in the
movie because they wanted the dwarf characters to be like,
fucking bad ass. And it worked.
And it looked really good. Like he was, he was in every
single trailer in that shirtlessscene.
And then every reaction I saw, it was like, Oh yeah, fuck yeah.
So that was pretty awesome. A rips dwarf.
It should be interesting. I cannot wait to see that.
(02:15):
He's got ABS, man. Like if you look on his
Instagram, he is working out every single video and I'm like
goals, goals. Now do that.
Are you juicing, man? Because Gibbs.
I know I'm like where? Give me some man.
So all right, that's awesome. I I can't wait to see this movie
and see that part. I really can't because I love
live action movies, but especially if the horror
(02:38):
absolutely fucking fantastic. I mean I saw Peter Pan's never
Neverland, Winnie the Pooh, blood and honey one and two, and
it's like they they call it the trauma childhood universe.
I don't know what the hell they come up with that, but it's TCU
and I think this is going to land in that part of that
universe. I don't know, I'm hoping it
does. So that's among the other movies
I just watched. They're like fuel for
(03:00):
nightmares. Oh yeah, I definitely hope it
becomes one of those horror classics where everyone is just
like, have you seen the death ofSnow White?
Have you seen the death of Snow White?
Like I just hope it gets into that universe and, and right up
there with because everyone knows about Winnie the Pooh,
Blood and honey. Everyone like if I say it,
everyone's like, Oh yeah, like they may, may, they may not even
haven't seen it, but they've heard of it.
So hopefully we get there into that kind of popularity.
(03:22):
Oh, you should, man, because themoment I started seeing the your
movie online, it was blowing up everyone.
Facebook, Instagram, all over social media, Google, for fuck's
sake. I mean, Jesus Christ, dude.
And I was like, damn it, I need to get people on my show.
So I got you. I got, I guess I can't pronounce
that Sine who plays, and I got the woman who plays Meredith
(03:43):
Bender, who plays the witch. So.
I cannot wait to talk to his other two and get through inside
this movie as well. Awesome, you did a great job.
Well, first of all, I'm sure I'mnot the only one who wants to
know who you are. The audience was like who you
are And can you tell us a littlebit about yourself and where you
come from? Yeah, I live in Austin, TX at
the moment. I play, I don't know if we've
(04:05):
already discussed it, but I playThe Prince and The Death of Snow
White. I've been acting roughly since
COVID. You know, during that COVID
time, it was just, you know, everyone was making sourdough
and I was over here just trying to live some dreams.
So did that for a couple of years, landed the role of the
(04:26):
death of Snow White and flew to Seattle to shoot my shot and see
where I and see where it goes. So looks, I think it looks
pretty good. It's my first time being in
theaters, first time seeing myself on the big screen and
actually having the public seat.So that's a little nerve
wracking, but yeah, I we'll see where it goes.
(04:47):
It's. Awesome.
I mean to haven't been released in Seattle was pretty fucking
big in my opinion. It's because that's almost like
having the equivalent they haven't released in like
somewhere in New York. So.
Yeah, I mean, to me it's a big thing because Seattle is a huge
city and like I said, I lived there for three years.
I worked there for three years and I don't miss it.
(05:08):
Sorry, Seattle too much. Damn.
Rated depression there. I'm sorry, see, I the public
transportation in Seattle is theworst.
Just saying. I mean.
Hey, that's, that's, that's alsoin Austin and Houston.
Austin is just like I-35 is constant construction.
So it's like every you'll, you'll live your entire life on
(05:29):
on I-35 just trying to get through traffic.
Well, let's stop that. And Seattle has the sounder.
The train which I had, I had to ride from my hat from Puyallup
into Seattle. It's like a 45 minute ride and
they would pack these trains with so many damn people.
They're like, OK, let's see whatpeople get.
There's one little tiny little car and it was like 5 cars.
They're double deckers and shit.But still it's, it's it during
(05:51):
the winter time they turn, they crank the heat up so fucking
high and then people are breathing on you and it just
increases the heat. I'm like, Jesus Christ, you know
what, can I stick my head out the window for like 5 minutes?
And that'd be great. I love some good morning breath.
That's some great air, man. So every time we stopped at the
station there with the doors, I step my head real quick and come
(06:12):
back in. So I'm like, holy shit, man.
And start the summertime. It's even worse because they
don't turn the air conditioning on.
It's it's it's, it's, it's just gross and nasty.
OK, I'm so I'm digressing. I just, I hate Seattle.
I will say Seattle has some really good weather because even
though it was the summer while we were filming, was it the
summer? It was, it was the, I think it
(06:33):
was like the summertime area, orwas it?
Anyway, the weather was amazing.Like they all got cold.
It was like it was supposed to be the hotter season and it got
cold at night and it was like confusing, but it was like
overall great weather, amazing, very green.
You got lucky 'cause every time the three years I saw the rain,
(06:53):
no. Actually, it wasn't.
It wasn't raining. I don't think it it was raining
at all. It wasn't raining at all during
any of the seasons. I think there was one time where
it probably did rain, but I don't think it rained the entire
month that we that we filmed. No, I think it was good.
You got very, very lucky then toenvy you now, because God damn
it. Anyway, so.
(07:13):
So how does it feel to be part of a dark version of the dark of
this fairy tale? I mean.
I mean, I think the timing it's,it's a great time to be
releasing this movie, especiallywith another movie that just
came out and trying my best to be respectful to both, to both
(07:35):
films. It wasn't the turn out wasn't as
great as they had hoped. But releasing this film I, I
don't, I think there was no other better time to release
this film because everyone is anticipating this story with a
(07:56):
realistic twist in a sense, because everyone has seen Snow
White in like 4 different films.So this is definitely a
different turn. There's the Kristen Stewart one,
there is the Robert Julia Roberts one, there is the newest
one that just came out. So like a lot of people know the
(08:16):
story, but now we're getting more of a grimmier, grittier
version. So I think that's really cool
and I think it's going to be different than the rest of the
films. There's definitely a lot of
different. There's different.
There's definitely a lot of variables at this point.
Yeah, doors and blood that that's all it takes for me to go
see this in the. Theaters.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
That's it's, it's, it's pretty cool.
(08:37):
Like they used there was 1 moment where they used fire
extinguishers filled with blood.Really.
Yeah, like there, there is one scene where one guy, no spoiler
maybe, I don't know. It doesn't not doesn't spoil the
story, but a guy in armor does explode and it's like blood
(09:02):
seeps in in every single creviceof his armor.
Yeah 'cause they had to like mopup the entire like deck after
that. I'm I'm.
I'm gonna text a wife. I got plans for the Moro to go
see this. It was pretty gnarly.
Pretty gnarly. So your character, the Prince is
part of the story for the beginning of the movie and we
(09:24):
get to see you or use the Princebegin his courtship with Snow
White and before the evil Queen censor.
Fucking retarded Huntsman I guess I don't know.
And to apprehend Snow White and her friends.
So what else can you tell us about your character and the
role in this movie? Yeah, What I do appreciate what
(09:45):
Naomi and Jason, the directors and writers, did for this movie
is that they gave the Prince a much bigger role than any other
film of Snow White. Even in the animated version,
the Prince had a very, very minute role in the film.
He was there in the beginning tointroduce himself, and then he
was there in the end to say SnowWhite, and that was it.
(10:06):
In this version, you see the Prince develop that relationship
with Snow White. It gets a little bit deeper than
just this. I'm like love at first sight
kind of thing. It's a little bit deeper than
that. There is much more of a
development and you get to see the Prince journey through
(10:32):
getting ready to save Snow White.
So it's a much bigger role that he like, actually feels like he
has an identity. And it gave me the creative
liberty to figure out who this character was because I didn't
have any reference points if if that makes sense.
Absolutely. I mean, I get it.
I get the whole going on on. Yeah, it was, it was, it was
(10:57):
pretty fun filming with Sanaya. Like there was a lot of moments
where like where it was just like these cool scenes where
we're like opening up in the force clearing.
I don't want to give too much away, but there was like a lot
of scenes that we had together that really showed a lot of
emotion and that really like displayed both of our abilities
(11:18):
and talents, which I think probably gave a lot of the
audiences the sniffles. And I was just like, yes, cry,
please cry. So the board just a girl.
It's all that matters, I guess. Well, no spoilers, but maybe.
(11:40):
Maybe. OK, I'll, I'll, I'll go with.
Maybe I'll take it. Maybe.
So, so, so always. This is not the same dizzy fairy
tale that we we're not used to watch where we're growing up.
And like you mentioned, the other ones, which, who cares
about those, right? I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm dying to
see this one. I I can't emphasize that enough.
A much gooder version of Snow White.
The movie dips into broader elements of blood, guts and
(12:01):
horror. And you were told it's like, OK,
there's tropes obviously that attempt to maintain the
innocence of this film as well. And how did how did that clash?
Like get to maintain the innocence but you got blooded
guts everywhere. I mean innocence in regards to a
(12:22):
character, innocence to the movie.
What innocence are we talking about?
Both if we can, if we or just choose one I do.
This choice, I think there is some innocence that comes with
Snow White because she is such athoughtful and caring character.
But then again, Naomi and Jason also wanted to make also wanted
(12:46):
to be realistic and wanted it tobe medieval, which that's the
time, the time frame that it came from.
So there is a lot of characters that are innocent, but also you
can still have that gory elementand still make it realistic, if
that makes if that makes sense. So not so if a movie is
innocent, there is still some kind of there is still some grim
(13:09):
truths and grim reality that canstill go hand in hand, if that
makes sense. So for instance, a lot of the
time I'm, I'm fighting with the dwarves, I eventually meet up
with the dwarves going through the, going through my journey.
And I, I, I honestly believe that the Prince is kind of
(13:30):
innocent in that kind of sense as well.
He's never killed anyone or fought, fought anyone to that
extent. So I guess it comes, I guess it
goes from character to character, figuring out who's
that innocent, but still remaining but still continuing
that reality, you know? Not tracking that sounds good.
(13:51):
I mean I'm tomorrow is a hurry up so I can go season the damn
theater. Jesus.
I hate I hate talking about a movie and not know anything
about it. It it sucks.
So I mean. It's good that we saw, we saw on
the premiere. It was pretty awesome.
It was pretty cool. You don't really get to see the
final product because you're you're in front of the camera.
(14:13):
So you don't really see like theonly parts you see of yourself
is like, hey, can I watch playback?
And that's it. You don't get to see the full
product. But now, after seeing the full
product, you're just like, OK, all right, let's see what the
audience thinks. So you're you're happy with the
final product of the movie? Oh, yeah, absolutely.
It's it's like the I'm so glad that they did practical effects
(14:38):
because CGI can go very well. It can go wrong very quickly.
Like you can spend millions and millions of dollars.
It can still look really bad. It's very hard to get right
practical effects, use the rightcamera effect, use the right
camera angles, the right camera effects, it can be achieved.
And it looked real. Like I knew they were
prosthetics and I saw it on screen and I was like cringing
(15:02):
and curling my toes because it looks so uncomfortable.
Like, again, this is a horror movie.
The Queen is all about self mutilation.
So seeing that on camera, like made my skin crawl because it
looks so real in a good way. So it was really cool.
Sounds like some of the Quentin Tarantino would do.
Oh yeah, absolutely, absolutely,really gnarly.
(15:25):
So I've I've seen I've seen picture stills on IMDb pro about
the movie and the director. He is 1 tall motherfucker.
I'm just saying. He is, he is 6/5 or 6/6.
He played one of the huntsmen and literally all I am 5-6.
OK, so all the other huntsmen were six feet 26 foot three and
(15:50):
above all of them. So it would yeah, it they, they
picked the right roles for the right people.
Definitely had some. Had some tall folks in there.
I get it, I'm 59 but my son's 6 foot 2 so he's just too nice
sometimes. Must be nice.
(16:11):
It's just my son just towers over me.
He'll stand there. So I have to look up at him like
I don't remember. I used to put you over my knee
and spank you, but I can't do that anymore.
It's OK. I'll look up both of.
You these guys hold climate up in his head.
I don't know what it's going on so.
Don't know how you guys do it. So the blood and guts received
this movie is a significant portion of the film's attention,
(16:33):
like the entire attention of this movie, and is more
effective in turning stomachs and underlying scares.
Yes or no dude? What's your viewpoint on that?
Absolutely, absolutely. You know, like I said, that the
practical effects itself, I knewthat they were fake.
Even looking, even looking at them in real life, I knew that
(16:54):
they were fake. They looked real.
Like Jason casted his hand. Jason the director casted his
hand and the painting, the sculpting, it looked like an
actual hand. And I knew it was fake.
It was like a prop arm. And I'm looking at it.
I took a picture of it and it looked like a real hand.
(17:15):
So that was in real in real life.
Seeing it on camera, seeing it on the screen.
Go ahead and chop that up. That looks real.
OK, I get it. Yeah, so I want to talk about
the doors real quick. I I understand the dwarves are
hell bit on avenging snow by's death.
It's a good time movie and whichshows an untiming demise, which
(17:37):
really fucking sucks. But you know, it's it's a horror
movie. It's it's going to happen.
It's and it's inevitable. Sorry folks, if you don't like
it, kiss my ass and the director's ass.
So what was it like to see the dwarves in action while feeling
this movie? I'm telling you, man, it was
amazing. I didn't.
When filming happened, I was from beginning to end.
(18:01):
I didn't see them until halfway through because that's when they
were introduced. When I saw them come in, it
literally was like looking at celebrities.
I didn't know who they were. I obviously we're all friends
now, but I didn't know who they were when I first met them.
And I was like, oh, these are the dwarves.
Like I was starstruck for some reason.
I was looking at them and I was like, Oh my God, this is so
(18:21):
cool. They didn't even have their
costume on. They didn't have makeup done.
It was just them regularly. Then when they had their costume
on and makeup done and then theycame in, that was like, I felt
like I stepped into the world. Amazing, amazing job.
And then the introduction was their intro shots.
(18:43):
So it was a it was a lot of the heroic shots that they did for
them, a lot of smoke and a lot of grit.
That was pretty cool. That was awesome.
So. And we had like the hero shot
that was like a slow motion walkin, the like walk in.
Yes, yes, I don't want to give too, too much away, but they
(19:04):
help me do things. I feel like I'm playing taboo.
They help me do things. And it was, it was their, it was
those hero shots that I'm telling you, they look like
celebrities. They look like they knew what
they were doing and they knew what they were doing.
(19:25):
So it was. It was pretty cool.
It's like, OK, I still don't want going back to Lord of the
Rings or some shit it. Was it was cool.
It was it was awesome. Like just seeing them in action,
it was just mind blowing. It was really cool, especially
with the weapons that they have this like this realm is supposed
(19:48):
to be medieval fantasy, so they really wanted to tie that
fantasy with the weapons that they wielded.
So even seeing their weapons, because each dwarf has a very
unique weapon, which is really cool.
And it shows like they're fighting style.
It shows each of their personality.
And there's some little Easter eggs in there that I didn't even
get until Naomi and Jason mentioned it and I was like, oh,
(20:12):
interesting. So if you guys watch it, you'll
see a little Easter egg of. You know their occupation and
what weapon they choose to fightwith based on their that their
job that they had before the Evil Queen rose into power.
So it's a lot like 300 and a Potter's fire.
Yes, yes, really cool. Yeah.
(20:34):
Oh God, that's funny. Oh man.
So your character, obviously it plays a major role.
So what was like for you on set?Can you briefly, briefly walk
inside what the routine was likebefore filming and during
filming? Yep, going in in the time
beginning time fluctuated. Sometimes you were there until
(20:55):
4:00 in the morning. Sometimes we because we were
there for so late, we had then we had a late shoot time.
But going there we would go to see like Renaissance festival
area. It was no, no bigger than like
maybe 3 apartments big. That's how small it was.
But looking at the movie, it looked gigantic, like you
couldn't see a limit to the festival.
(21:18):
So we go into the, we go into this little Renaissance festival
set, we go into the church. The church was our.
So if you look at, if you find the church in the movie, that
was our makeup and wardrobe building.
So it didn't look like a church.It just looked like a bunch of
like seats with makeup and propsand everything.
So go into the church, get our makeup and wardrobe set.
(21:39):
And then depending on what scene, either in the woods or in
the festival, that's where all of our scenes would take place.
And it was like 3 different scenes.
It was a Renaissance festival that we went here.
Then a couple of steps forward would be the woods, and then a
couple of steps forward, a castle that they actually built
(22:01):
was right across the pathway. So it was all there in like a
row for like an entire month. It was like you do a little
miniature Renaissance. Very good.
No, it was we they casted some extras who had some really
awesome like outfits. It was, it looked, it looked
(22:22):
expensive. It was like thousands of dollars
and all of them looked amazing. So it was really good.
It was really cool. So I'm about to ask you a
question and I don't care if youspoil it for me or not, I don't
give a shit I I don't. You can bleep it out.
OK, no, all my videos are unedited so it's.
OK, Oh, never mind. So I don't care, I don't, I
(22:43):
don't care about spoilers. That shit doesn't bug me.
So were there to any? Were there any scenes that
proved to be too challenging foryou while filming?
Challenging, I think, you know, during those long nights, we had
(23:10):
an entire day just filled with battling.
It was an entire day of a lot ofphysical work.
It was just the point where likeyou just had to stock up in
Celsius and just like keep goingand just like have an IV of like
energy drink in your arm at all times.
And, and because it was like a constant, it was constant.
(23:33):
It was just fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting
lunch break, come back, fighting, fighting, fighting,
fighting, fighting. And on top of that, it was
rehearsal. So you had to rehearse for the,
the, the fight. Then after you're ready for
fighting, then you go back into the scene.
So it was just like a, it was just like a lot physically.
That was just probably the most challenging.
It wasn't even that challenging.It was just like once you were
(23:55):
done, you're, you're, you're just like tired and you just
wanted to go back to the hotel just to like die so.
That's a lot like my army days, just about fighting him, yeah.
That was pretty much it, yeah, but with fake swords.
Let's start fake swords. That kind of real guys, man.
(24:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You had a little bit more
difficult than I did. IV full of energy drinks.
And anyway, it was Gatorade for us.
That was like a big thing. That was like the highlight of
my training out in the field wasgetting Gatorade from the store.
I loved it. Often times, well, I spilled the
beans out. We would sneak out of the field
(24:37):
to go to the shop at the Gatorade.
No Dylan, I think he was one of the LP actors.
He played Sunny. I think he had like 6 celsiuses
a day. Like everyone was like Dylan
chill and he was like, don't tell me what to do.
It's a hard day, so is it hard to explode on set I.
Was like, bro, you're good. Well I can't judge, I used to
(25:00):
drink like 4 monsters a day while it's deployed that game
so. I can't say nothing.
And people was running a lot, sohyper they had a hard time
falling asleep. Gee, I wonder.
Why actually the monster drink? And the coffee, holy shit.
Anyway, do you have any favoritescenes in the movie?
Watching it, I think my favoritescene, a lot of a lot of Chelsea
(25:24):
scenes were really good. I looked at Thousand and I was
like good job Chelsea. That was really good.
There was some really good scenes.
A lot of emotional scenes that Iappreciate were me and Snow
White in the clearing in the woods.
It was two different scenes thatwe had that I thought were
(25:47):
really good and very emotional. And it brought a lot of like,
yes, we have the gore, yes, we have the scare.
We have that kind of element. But let's bring it back to the
emotion. Let's bring it back to what is
happening with the love, the theromance.
So like they balanced it really well.
And I think those are my, my, myscenes that I really enjoyed was
(26:10):
Chelsea's and the, and the clearing of the woods.
Yeah. Awesome.
Can you look for those too? So you hear that, folks?
Yeah, but the Prince is is smitten for the print in Snow
White. OK, it's OK.
So you've been you being a fairly new actor and let been
and letting a major role in the movie.
Congratulations, by the way, 'cause I'm I'm assuming it this
(26:32):
is going to be a big hit. I can tell.
Like I said, everything's exploded on Facebook and
Instagram, everywhere. On Google.
It was just nuts. It was like a wildfire spreading
everywhere. So what advice do you have for
anyone who is just now come out to be an actor?
Learn to take no for an answer. You are going to get a lot of
(26:53):
Nos. A lot.
And it has. And sometimes it has nothing to
do with your talent. Sometimes it's just the look
that they're looking for. I had an audition once who who
was a drug addict and I thought I did a good job, but I didn't
get the role. And then I found out who
actually did get the role and I was like, you know what?
(27:15):
He looks much better for the part.
Like he looks, it looks real. It looks like he did a much
better job than I ever would. But yeah, sometimes it's just
not your talent. Sometimes it it's just your
looks. Also what your location.
It's a lot of things. So don't think it's ever you and
just be OK with not getting it. And sometimes having that
(27:39):
attitude will make you have it. You're like, I'm not going to
get it. And then I literally had the
same attitude with the Prince. I literally like I, I auditioned
for the Prince and I was like, meh, I'm not going to get it.
There's probably other guys who are better than me, whatever.
And I ended up and I end up getting it.
And what's funny is that most ofthe time when I have that meh
attitude I I end up always getting that role, which is
(28:01):
insane. So no lucky rabbit's foot or.
No lucky rabbit's foot. No, don't get no lucky rabbit's
foot. Don't expect it.
Don't be like, you know what? I think I'm going to get this
and get your hopes up because most of the time you're not
going to get it if you do that. So it's all about attitude and
how you handle it and how you accept it.
Yeah. Which I get, 'cause I get a lot
(28:23):
of rejections for, you know, interviewing actors.
It's heartbreaking. It is.
Yeah, it is. But I'm like, you know what, I'm
just going up with the next person.
Fuck it, whatever, you know I'm not going to let ruin my day so.
Yeah, yeah. Most of the time it's just more
like if I get it, I get it. If I don't, I don't.
It's always meant to be. Bird sound device coming from
Tristan. I hope you listen to it, wrote
it down, hand jam that shit and stick to it.
(28:46):
All right, so what's next for you?
Anything exciting come up that we can look look forward to see
you in? Not at the moment.
There should be a movie that should be still in post
productions. It's called Winter Breaks and it
is directed by Michael Scott. No, not Michael Scott, that's an
Office character. It is directed by an LA director
(29:13):
and it's kind of like this day and age Breakfast Club.
So I think it's a really good story because we don't have like
this generation doesn't really have that, doesn't really have
like a group of people all coming together.
Like we had Pitch Perfect, we had easy A, but that was more of
like a like Pitch Perfect was very female oriented.
(29:37):
This is more of like a group of friends.
Think of it like Friends, but like more drama, way more drama.
And that's what that movie is. So hopefully when it comes out,
that'll come in theaters or evenAmazon Prime, and you'll be able
to see me as Scott, who is the douchey frat guy who completely
opposite of the Prince. And yeah, he, he's just a
(29:58):
horrible guy. We switch around.
Yeah, he's horrible. 01 Last question I'd like to ask people
before we run out of time. If you could flip the script or
give your own best case scenarioin the death of Snow White, what
would you do? What would you change?
I can't tell you because that would be a spoiler.
OK, fine, be that way. At the end, At the end, there is
(30:24):
a possible, well, I can't say that's going to be a spoiler.
No, I can't. I can't.
I will. I will say I will try to be as
general as possible at the end, if I had the ability to write
the script. How do I say this without
spoiling anything? Well, it comes out today, so
(30:45):
they're not going to really. It's not really to spoil the
mood for anybody. OK, I die at the end.
No alert. I'm like.
We don't need spoilers. Then.
There you go. So there is hints.
There is hints that I do come back.
(31:08):
There is rumor, I'm not going toconfirm any information, but if
they do make a sequel, the Prince might be coming back.
Was it was it a manly death at least?
Was it like, worth dying for? I mean.
Will I say that again? Was it?
Was it a manly death at least? It was a sacrifice.
(31:30):
I don't know why it's something like that.
It was a sacrifice. It was a it was a sacrificial
death. I will say that.
I won't say, hey, how about this?
In order to prevent spoilers, I won't say how I died, but it was
a sacrificial death. So it's horrible.
OK, I'll give you that, Pat. All right, I'll give you that.
OK. Yeah, there you go.
(31:51):
So now I was like, oh Christmas,shut up.
Director's like boy, this boy's in trouble now I know.
I'm like, Jason, if you're watching this now, it came out
today, so. Jason, it's better you can do
what I said about too late. It's.
Like it already came out today, so they'll know.
Oh man, this is really a funny interview.
I got to it's too bad we got to end this run out of time.
(32:13):
You've been a fantastic guest. Thank you so much for joining me
today and I I'm looking forward to seeing this movie and seeing
you on the big screen along withSanae and Meredith and the rest
of the especially the Dwars. Man, I I love dwars.
I mean awesome. I have AI have a soft spot in my
heart for dwars. I don't know why it's just.
It's so cool, man. They were so cool.
We still like, we have our own little group, group chat.
(32:33):
Everyone talks about it like we're all talking about like our
own acting roles. Theresa May, who plays Paulin,
she does voice acting. She's helping me with the voice
acting stuff. Awesome.
So cool. They're all, they're all so
humble, so down to earth. I loved working with every
single one. Awesome.
Sounds good. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and
(32:54):
girls, the wonderful, the talented, the handsome, the
Prince. That's interesting those go see
Death of Snow White in theaters today.
Get off your asses, go buy a fucking ticket and support these
awesome people while watch this movie.
That's all the time we have and thank you so much and I will see
you on the big screen. Thank you so much.
(33:15):
Thank you.
What are you doing dizzy fanatics out there?
That's your host of the most Benjamin Duttel coming back with
another. I can't say excited because I
haven't seen the movie yet, but hopefully exciting episode of
the horror heated YouTube channel and the South Jersey
Horror Podcast. Today I am sitting down with
Tristan Nokes, who plays The Prince and The Death of Snow
White, which is being released today.
(00:26):
In theaters or just in Seattle? I think what you just told me
before the interview. I used to live in Seattle, which
really sucks. Oh my God, now I'm kicking
myself in the ass. Anyway, so for what I
understand, this is a dark, grimversion of the Dizzy fairy tale.
Not your usual fairy tale you see on Dizzy and kids.
(00:46):
If you're under 18, don't go a while.
If you're under 13, don't watch this movie because they might
traumatize you. I don't know.
Whatever. Anyway, let's read my guest
then. Please, please give a warm
welcome to Tristan. How the hell you doing?
I'm doing great, man, Doing great.
It's Friday. We're good.
Ready for the weekend? Yeah.
(01:08):
I'm I'm dying to see this movie and see how it turned out
because I love watching dwarves in action.
I don't know what it is. It's just so weird.
It was so awesome working that time.
We didn't know Jeremy, who played Dozer, who's the the the
sleepy character of the dwarves.We didn't know he was so jacked
and ripped. Like, we were doing hair and
(01:30):
makeup, and within hair and makeup, there was a changing
room and Jeremy came up with hisshirt off and everyone was like,
and we're like, did you know he was ripped?
I was like, no, I didn't know hewas jacked.
And so and he was like, rippling, like pecs and ABS.
So then the director was like, hey, shirtless scene, question
mark. And Jeremy goes, yeah, So then
(01:53):
we definitely like Jason and Naomi wanted to put that in the
movie because they wanted the dwarf characters to be like,
fucking bad ass. And it worked.
And it looked really good. Like he was, he was in every
single trailer in that shirtlessscene.
And then every reaction I saw, it was like, Oh yeah, fuck yeah.
So that was pretty awesome. A rips dwarf.
It should be interesting. I cannot wait to see that.
(02:15):
He's got ABS, man. Like if you look on his
Instagram, he is working out every single video and I'm like
goals, goals. Now do that.
Are you juicing, man? Because Gibbs.
I know I'm like where? Give me some man.
So all right, that's awesome. I I can't wait to see this movie
and see that part. I really can't because I love
live action movies, but especially if the horror
(02:38):
absolutely fucking fantastic. I mean I saw Peter Pan's never
Neverland, Winnie the Pooh, blood and honey one and two, and
it's like they they call it the trauma childhood universe.
I don't know what the hell they come up with that, but it's TCU
and I think this is going to land in that part of that
universe. I don't know, I'm hoping it
does. So that's among the other movies
I just watched. They're like fuel for
(03:00):
nightmares. Oh yeah, I definitely hope it
becomes one of those horror classics where everyone is just
like, have you seen the death ofSnow White?
Have you seen the death of Snow White?
Like I just hope it gets into that universe and, and right up
there with because everyone knows about Winnie the Pooh,
Blood and honey. Everyone like if I say it,
everyone's like, Oh yeah, like they may, may, they may not even
haven't seen it, but they've heard of it.
So hopefully we get there into that kind of popularity.
(03:22):
Oh, you should, man, because themoment I started seeing the your
movie online, it was blowing up everyone.
Facebook, Instagram, all over social media, Google, for fuck's
sake. I mean, Jesus Christ, dude.
And I was like, damn it, I need to get people on my show.
So I got you. I got, I guess I can't pronounce
that Sine who plays, and I got the woman who plays Meredith
(03:43):
Bender, who plays the witch. So.
I cannot wait to talk to his other two and get through inside
this movie as well. Awesome, you did a great job.
Well, first of all, I'm sure I'mnot the only one who wants to
know who you are. The audience was like who you
are And can you tell us a littlebit about yourself and where you
come from? Yeah, I live in Austin, TX at
the moment. I play, I don't know if we've
(04:05):
already discussed it, but I playThe Prince and The Death of Snow
White. I've been acting roughly since
COVID. You know, during that COVID
time, it was just, you know, everyone was making sourdough
and I was over here just trying to live some dreams.
So did that for a couple of years, landed the role of the
(04:26):
death of Snow White and flew to Seattle to shoot my shot and see
where I and see where it goes. So looks, I think it looks
pretty good. It's my first time being in
theaters, first time seeing myself on the big screen and
actually having the public seat.So that's a little nerve
wracking, but yeah, I we'll see where it goes.
(04:47):
It's. Awesome.
I mean to haven't been released in Seattle was pretty fucking
big in my opinion. It's because that's almost like
having the equivalent they haven't released in like
somewhere in New York. So.
Yeah, I mean, to me it's a big thing because Seattle is a huge
city and like I said, I lived there for three years.
I worked there for three years and I don't miss it.
(05:08):
Sorry, Seattle too much. Damn.
Rated depression there. I'm sorry, see, I the public
transportation in Seattle is theworst.
Just saying. I mean.
Hey, that's, that's, that's alsoin Austin and Houston.
Austin is just like I-35 is constant construction.
So it's like every you'll, you'll live your entire life on
(05:29):
on I-35 just trying to get through traffic.
Well, let's stop that. And Seattle has the sounder.
The train which I had, I had to ride from my hat from Puyallup
into Seattle. It's like a 45 minute ride and
they would pack these trains with so many damn people.
They're like, OK, let's see whatpeople get.
There's one little tiny little car and it was like 5 cars.
They're double deckers and shit.But still it's, it's it during
(05:51):
the winter time they turn, they crank the heat up so fucking
high and then people are breathing on you and it just
increases the heat. I'm like, Jesus Christ, you know
what, can I stick my head out the window for like 5 minutes?
And that'd be great. I love some good morning breath.
That's some great air, man. So every time we stopped at the
station there with the doors, I step my head real quick and come
(06:12):
back in. So I'm like, holy shit, man.
And start the summertime. It's even worse because they
don't turn the air conditioning on.
It's it's it's, it's, it's just gross and nasty.
OK, I'm so I'm digressing. I just, I hate Seattle.
I will say Seattle has some really good weather because even
though it was the summer while we were filming, was it the
summer? It was, it was the, I think it
(06:33):
was like the summertime area, orwas it?
Anyway, the weather was amazing.Like they all got cold.
It was like it was supposed to be the hotter season and it got
cold at night and it was like confusing, but it was like
overall great weather, amazing, very green.
You got lucky 'cause every time the three years I saw the rain,
(06:53):
no. Actually, it wasn't.
It wasn't raining. I don't think it it was raining
at all. It wasn't raining at all during
any of the seasons. I think there was one time where
it probably did rain, but I don't think it rained the entire
month that we that we filmed. No, I think it was good.
You got very, very lucky then toenvy you now, because God damn
it. Anyway, so.
(07:13):
So how does it feel to be part of a dark version of the dark of
this fairy tale? I mean.
I mean, I think the timing it's,it's a great time to be
releasing this movie, especiallywith another movie that just
came out and trying my best to be respectful to both, to both
(07:35):
films. It wasn't the turn out wasn't as
great as they had hoped. But releasing this film I, I
don't, I think there was no other better time to release
this film because everyone is anticipating this story with a
(07:56):
realistic twist in a sense, because everyone has seen Snow
White in like 4 different films.So this is definitely a
different turn. There's the Kristen Stewart one,
there is the Robert Julia Roberts one, there is the newest
one that just came out. So like a lot of people know the
(08:16):
story, but now we're getting more of a grimmier, grittier
version. So I think that's really cool
and I think it's going to be different than the rest of the
films. There's definitely a lot of
different. There's different.
There's definitely a lot of variables at this point.
Yeah, doors and blood that that's all it takes for me to go
see this in the. Theaters.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
That's it's, it's, it's pretty cool.
(08:37):
Like they used there was 1 moment where they used fire
extinguishers filled with blood.Really.
Yeah, like there, there is one scene where one guy, no spoiler
maybe, I don't know. It doesn't not doesn't spoil the
story, but a guy in armor does explode and it's like blood
(09:02):
seeps in in every single creviceof his armor.
Yeah 'cause they had to like mopup the entire like deck after
that. I'm I'm.
I'm gonna text a wife. I got plans for the Moro to go
see this. It was pretty gnarly.
Pretty gnarly. So your character, the Prince is
part of the story for the beginning of the movie and we
(09:24):
get to see you or use the Princebegin his courtship with Snow
White and before the evil Queen censor.
Fucking retarded Huntsman I guess I don't know.
And to apprehend Snow White and her friends.
So what else can you tell us about your character and the
role in this movie? Yeah, What I do appreciate what
(09:45):
Naomi and Jason, the directors and writers, did for this movie
is that they gave the Prince a much bigger role than any other
film of Snow White. Even in the animated version,
the Prince had a very, very minute role in the film.
He was there in the beginning tointroduce himself, and then he
was there in the end to say SnowWhite, and that was it.
(10:06):
In this version, you see the Prince develop that relationship
with Snow White. It gets a little bit deeper than
just this. I'm like love at first sight
kind of thing. It's a little bit deeper than
that. There is much more of a
development and you get to see the Prince journey through
(10:32):
getting ready to save Snow White.
So it's a much bigger role that he like, actually feels like he
has an identity. And it gave me the creative
liberty to figure out who this character was because I didn't
have any reference points if if that makes sense.
Absolutely. I mean, I get it.
I get the whole going on on. Yeah, it was, it was, it was
(10:57):
pretty fun filming with Sanaya. Like there was a lot of moments
where like where it was just like these cool scenes where
we're like opening up in the force clearing.
I don't want to give too much away, but there was like a lot
of scenes that we had together that really showed a lot of
emotion and that really like displayed both of our abilities
(11:18):
and talents, which I think probably gave a lot of the
audiences the sniffles. And I was just like, yes, cry,
please cry. So the board just a girl.
It's all that matters, I guess. Well, no spoilers, but maybe.
(11:40):
Maybe. OK, I'll, I'll, I'll go with.
Maybe I'll take it. Maybe.
So, so, so always. This is not the same dizzy fairy
tale that we we're not used to watch where we're growing up.
And like you mentioned, the other ones, which, who cares
about those, right? I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm dying to
see this one. I I can't emphasize that enough.
A much gooder version of Snow White.
The movie dips into broader elements of blood, guts and
(12:01):
horror. And you were told it's like, OK,
there's tropes obviously that attempt to maintain the
innocence of this film as well. And how did how did that clash?
Like get to maintain the innocence but you got blooded
guts everywhere. I mean innocence in regards to a
(12:22):
character, innocence to the movie.
What innocence are we talking about?
Both if we can, if we or just choose one I do.
This choice, I think there is some innocence that comes with
Snow White because she is such athoughtful and caring character.
But then again, Naomi and Jason also wanted to make also wanted
(12:46):
to be realistic and wanted it tobe medieval, which that's the
time, the time frame that it came from.
So there is a lot of characters that are innocent, but also you
can still have that gory elementand still make it realistic, if
that makes if that makes sense. So not so if a movie is
innocent, there is still some kind of there is still some grim
(13:09):
truths and grim reality that canstill go hand in hand, if that
makes sense. So for instance, a lot of the
time I'm, I'm fighting with the dwarves, I eventually meet up
with the dwarves going through the, going through my journey.
And I, I, I honestly believe that the Prince is kind of
(13:30):
innocent in that kind of sense as well.
He's never killed anyone or fought, fought anyone to that
extent. So I guess it comes, I guess it
goes from character to character, figuring out who's
that innocent, but still remaining but still continuing
that reality, you know? Not tracking that sounds good.
(13:51):
I mean I'm tomorrow is a hurry up so I can go season the damn
theater. Jesus.
I hate I hate talking about a movie and not know anything
about it. It it sucks.
So I mean. It's good that we saw, we saw on
the premiere. It was pretty awesome.
It was pretty cool. You don't really get to see the
final product because you're you're in front of the camera.
(14:13):
So you don't really see like theonly parts you see of yourself
is like, hey, can I watch playback?
And that's it. You don't get to see the full
product. But now, after seeing the full
product, you're just like, OK, all right, let's see what the
audience thinks. So you're you're happy with the
final product of the movie? Oh, yeah, absolutely.
It's it's like the I'm so glad that they did practical effects
(14:38):
because CGI can go very well. It can go wrong very quickly.
Like you can spend millions and millions of dollars.
It can still look really bad. It's very hard to get right
practical effects, use the rightcamera effect, use the right
camera angles, the right camera effects, it can be achieved.
And it looked real. Like I knew they were
prosthetics and I saw it on screen and I was like cringing
(15:02):
and curling my toes because it looks so uncomfortable.
Like, again, this is a horror movie.
The Queen is all about self mutilation.
So seeing that on camera, like made my skin crawl because it
looks so real in a good way. So it was really cool.
Sounds like some of the Quentin Tarantino would do.
Oh yeah, absolutely, absolutely,really gnarly.
(15:25):
So I've I've seen I've seen picture stills on IMDb pro about
the movie and the director. He is 1 tall motherfucker.
I'm just saying. He is, he is 6/5 or 6/6.
He played one of the huntsmen and literally all I am 5-6.
OK, so all the other huntsmen were six feet 26 foot three and
(15:50):
above all of them. So it would yeah, it they, they
picked the right roles for the right people.
Definitely had some. Had some tall folks in there.
I get it, I'm 59 but my son's 6 foot 2 so he's just too nice
sometimes. Must be nice.
(16:11):
It's just my son just towers over me.
He'll stand there. So I have to look up at him like
I don't remember. I used to put you over my knee
and spank you, but I can't do that anymore.
It's OK. I'll look up both of.
You these guys hold climate up in his head.
I don't know what it's going on so.
Don't know how you guys do it. So the blood and guts received
this movie is a significant portion of the film's attention,
(16:33):
like the entire attention of this movie, and is more
effective in turning stomachs and underlying scares.
Yes or no dude? What's your viewpoint on that?
Absolutely, absolutely. You know, like I said, that the
practical effects itself, I knewthat they were fake.
Even looking, even looking at them in real life, I knew that
(16:54):
they were fake. They looked real.
Like Jason casted his hand. Jason the director casted his
hand and the painting, the sculpting, it looked like an
actual hand. And I knew it was fake.
It was like a prop arm. And I'm looking at it.
I took a picture of it and it looked like a real hand.
(17:15):
So that was in real in real life.
Seeing it on camera, seeing it on the screen.
Go ahead and chop that up. That looks real.
OK, I get it. Yeah, so I want to talk about
the doors real quick. I I understand the dwarves are
hell bit on avenging snow by's death.
It's a good time movie and whichshows an untiming demise, which
(17:37):
really fucking sucks. But you know, it's it's a horror
movie. It's it's going to happen.
It's and it's inevitable. Sorry folks, if you don't like
it, kiss my ass and the director's ass.
So what was it like to see the dwarves in action while feeling
this movie? I'm telling you, man, it was
amazing. I didn't.
When filming happened, I was from beginning to end.
(18:01):
I didn't see them until halfway through because that's when they
were introduced. When I saw them come in, it
literally was like looking at celebrities.
I didn't know who they were. I obviously we're all friends
now, but I didn't know who they were when I first met them.
And I was like, oh, these are the dwarves.
Like I was starstruck for some reason.
I was looking at them and I was like, Oh my God, this is so
(18:21):
cool. They didn't even have their
costume on. They didn't have makeup done.
It was just them regularly. Then when they had their costume
on and makeup done and then theycame in, that was like, I felt
like I stepped into the world. Amazing, amazing job.
And then the introduction was their intro shots.
(18:43):
So it was a it was a lot of the heroic shots that they did for
them, a lot of smoke and a lot of grit.
That was pretty cool. That was awesome.
So. And we had like the hero shot
that was like a slow motion walkin, the like walk in.
Yes, yes, I don't want to give too, too much away, but they
(19:04):
help me do things. I feel like I'm playing taboo.
They help me do things. And it was, it was their, it was
those hero shots that I'm telling you, they look like
celebrities. They look like they knew what
they were doing and they knew what they were doing.
(19:25):
So it was. It was pretty cool.
It's like, OK, I still don't want going back to Lord of the
Rings or some shit it. Was it was cool.
It was it was awesome. Like just seeing them in action,
it was just mind blowing. It was really cool, especially
with the weapons that they have this like this realm is supposed
(19:48):
to be medieval fantasy, so they really wanted to tie that
fantasy with the weapons that they wielded.
So even seeing their weapons, because each dwarf has a very
unique weapon, which is really cool.
And it shows like they're fighting style.
It shows each of their personality.
And there's some little Easter eggs in there that I didn't even
get until Naomi and Jason mentioned it and I was like, oh,
(20:12):
interesting. So if you guys watch it, you'll
see a little Easter egg of. You know their occupation and
what weapon they choose to fightwith based on their that their
job that they had before the Evil Queen rose into power.
So it's a lot like 300 and a Potter's fire.
Yes, yes, really cool. Yeah.
(20:34):
Oh God, that's funny. Oh man.
So your character, obviously it plays a major role.
So what was like for you on set?Can you briefly, briefly walk
inside what the routine was likebefore filming and during
filming? Yep, going in in the time
beginning time fluctuated. Sometimes you were there until
(20:55):
4:00 in the morning. Sometimes we because we were
there for so late, we had then we had a late shoot time.
But going there we would go to see like Renaissance festival
area. It was no, no bigger than like
maybe 3 apartments big. That's how small it was.
But looking at the movie, it looked gigantic, like you
couldn't see a limit to the festival.
(21:18):
So we go into the, we go into this little Renaissance festival
set, we go into the church. The church was our.
So if you look at, if you find the church in the movie, that
was our makeup and wardrobe building.
So it didn't look like a church.It just looked like a bunch of
like seats with makeup and propsand everything.
So go into the church, get our makeup and wardrobe set.
(21:39):
And then depending on what scene, either in the woods or in
the festival, that's where all of our scenes would take place.
And it was like 3 different scenes.
It was a Renaissance festival that we went here.
Then a couple of steps forward would be the woods, and then a
couple of steps forward, a castle that they actually built
(22:01):
was right across the pathway. So it was all there in like a
row for like an entire month. It was like you do a little
miniature Renaissance. Very good.
No, it was we they casted some extras who had some really
awesome like outfits. It was, it looked, it looked
(22:22):
expensive. It was like thousands of dollars
and all of them looked amazing. So it was really good.
It was really cool. So I'm about to ask you a
question and I don't care if youspoil it for me or not, I don't
give a shit I I don't. You can bleep it out.
OK, no, all my videos are unedited so it's.
OK, Oh, never mind. So I don't care, I don't, I
(22:43):
don't care about spoilers. That shit doesn't bug me.
So were there to any? Were there any scenes that
proved to be too challenging foryou while filming?
Challenging, I think, you know, during those long nights, we had
(23:10):
an entire day just filled with battling.
It was an entire day of a lot ofphysical work.
It was just the point where likeyou just had to stock up in
Celsius and just like keep goingand just like have an IV of like
energy drink in your arm at all times.
And, and because it was like a constant, it was constant.
(23:33):
It was just fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting
lunch break, come back, fighting, fighting, fighting,
fighting, fighting. And on top of that, it was
rehearsal. So you had to rehearse for the,
the, the fight. Then after you're ready for
fighting, then you go back into the scene.
So it was just like a, it was just like a lot physically.
That was just probably the most challenging.
It wasn't even that challenging.It was just like once you were
(23:55):
done, you're, you're, you're just like tired and you just
wanted to go back to the hotel just to like die so.
That's a lot like my army days, just about fighting him, yeah.
That was pretty much it, yeah, but with fake swords.
Let's start fake swords. That kind of real guys, man.
(24:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You had a little bit more
difficult than I did. IV full of energy drinks.
And anyway, it was Gatorade for us.
That was like a big thing. That was like the highlight of
my training out in the field wasgetting Gatorade from the store.
I loved it. Often times, well, I spilled the
beans out. We would sneak out of the field
(24:37):
to go to the shop at the Gatorade.
No Dylan, I think he was one of the LP actors.
He played Sunny. I think he had like 6 celsiuses
a day. Like everyone was like Dylan
chill and he was like, don't tell me what to do.
It's a hard day, so is it hard to explode on set I.
Was like, bro, you're good. Well I can't judge, I used to
(25:00):
drink like 4 monsters a day while it's deployed that game
so. I can't say nothing.
And people was running a lot, sohyper they had a hard time
falling asleep. Gee, I wonder.
Why actually the monster drink? And the coffee, holy shit.
Anyway, do you have any favoritescenes in the movie?
Watching it, I think my favoritescene, a lot of a lot of Chelsea
(25:24):
scenes were really good. I looked at Thousand and I was
like good job Chelsea. That was really good.
There was some really good scenes.
A lot of emotional scenes that Iappreciate were me and Snow
White in the clearing in the woods.
It was two different scenes thatwe had that I thought were
(25:47):
really good and very emotional. And it brought a lot of like,
yes, we have the gore, yes, we have the scare.
We have that kind of element. But let's bring it back to the
emotion. Let's bring it back to what is
happening with the love, the theromance.
So like they balanced it really well.
And I think those are my, my, myscenes that I really enjoyed was
(26:10):
Chelsea's and the, and the clearing of the woods.
Yeah. Awesome.
Can you look for those too? So you hear that, folks?
Yeah, but the Prince is is smitten for the print in Snow
White. OK, it's OK.
So you've been you being a fairly new actor and let been
and letting a major role in the movie.
Congratulations, by the way, 'cause I'm I'm assuming it this
(26:32):
is going to be a big hit. I can tell.
Like I said, everything's exploded on Facebook and
Instagram, everywhere. On Google.
It was just nuts. It was like a wildfire spreading
everywhere. So what advice do you have for
anyone who is just now come out to be an actor?
Learn to take no for an answer. You are going to get a lot of
(26:53):
Nos. A lot.
And it has. And sometimes it has nothing to
do with your talent. Sometimes it's just the look
that they're looking for. I had an audition once who who
was a drug addict and I thought I did a good job, but I didn't
get the role. And then I found out who
actually did get the role and I was like, you know what?
(27:15):
He looks much better for the part.
Like he looks, it looks real. It looks like he did a much
better job than I ever would. But yeah, sometimes it's just
not your talent. Sometimes it it's just your
looks. Also what your location.
It's a lot of things. So don't think it's ever you and
just be OK with not getting it. And sometimes having that
(27:39):
attitude will make you have it. You're like, I'm not going to
get it. And then I literally had the
same attitude with the Prince. I literally like I, I auditioned
for the Prince and I was like, meh, I'm not going to get it.
There's probably other guys who are better than me, whatever.
And I ended up and I end up getting it.
And what's funny is that most ofthe time when I have that meh
attitude I I end up always getting that role, which is
(28:01):
insane. So no lucky rabbit's foot or.
No lucky rabbit's foot. No, don't get no lucky rabbit's
foot. Don't expect it.
Don't be like, you know what? I think I'm going to get this
and get your hopes up because most of the time you're not
going to get it if you do that. So it's all about attitude and
how you handle it and how you accept it.
Yeah. Which I get, 'cause I get a lot
(28:23):
of rejections for, you know, interviewing actors.
It's heartbreaking. It is.
Yeah, it is. But I'm like, you know what, I'm
just going up with the next person.
Fuck it, whatever, you know I'm not going to let ruin my day so.
Yeah, yeah. Most of the time it's just more
like if I get it, I get it. If I don't, I don't.
It's always meant to be. Bird sound device coming from
Tristan. I hope you listen to it, wrote
it down, hand jam that shit and stick to it.
(28:46):
All right, so what's next for you?
Anything exciting come up that we can look look forward to see
you in? Not at the moment.
There should be a movie that should be still in post
productions. It's called Winter Breaks and it
is directed by Michael Scott. No, not Michael Scott, that's an
Office character. It is directed by an LA director
(29:13):
and it's kind of like this day and age Breakfast Club.
So I think it's a really good story because we don't have like
this generation doesn't really have that, doesn't really have
like a group of people all coming together.
Like we had Pitch Perfect, we had easy A, but that was more of
like a like Pitch Perfect was very female oriented.
(29:37):
This is more of like a group of friends.
Think of it like Friends, but like more drama, way more drama.
And that's what that movie is. So hopefully when it comes out,
that'll come in theaters or evenAmazon Prime, and you'll be able
to see me as Scott, who is the douchey frat guy who completely
opposite of the Prince. And yeah, he, he's just a
(29:58):
horrible guy. We switch around.
Yeah, he's horrible. 01 Last question I'd like to ask people
before we run out of time. If you could flip the script or
give your own best case scenarioin the death of Snow White, what
would you do? What would you change?
I can't tell you because that would be a spoiler.
OK, fine, be that way. At the end, At the end, there is
(30:24):
a possible, well, I can't say that's going to be a spoiler.
No, I can't. I can't.
I will. I will say I will try to be as
general as possible at the end, if I had the ability to write
the script. How do I say this without
spoiling anything? Well, it comes out today, so
(30:45):
they're not going to really. It's not really to spoil the
mood for anybody. OK, I die at the end.
No alert. I'm like.
We don't need spoilers. Then.
There you go. So there is hints.
There is hints that I do come back.
(31:08):
There is rumor, I'm not going toconfirm any information, but if
they do make a sequel, the Prince might be coming back.
Was it was it a manly death at least?
Was it like, worth dying for? I mean.
Will I say that again? Was it?
Was it a manly death at least? It was a sacrifice.
(31:30):
I don't know why it's something like that.
It was a sacrifice. It was a it was a sacrificial
death. I will say that.
I won't say, hey, how about this?
In order to prevent spoilers, I won't say how I died, but it was
a sacrificial death. So it's horrible.
OK, I'll give you that, Pat. All right, I'll give you that.
OK. Yeah, there you go.
(31:51):
So now I was like, oh Christmas,shut up.
Director's like boy, this boy's in trouble now I know.
I'm like, Jason, if you're watching this now, it came out
today, so. Jason, it's better you can do
what I said about too late. It's.
Like it already came out today, so they'll know.
Oh man, this is really a funny interview.
