I'm doing well, man, I'm doing well. This is really cool.
I'm looking forward to this.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Your new movie Long Shadows as hitting theaters November seventh.
It's a Western, one of my favorite genres. I love
me a Western. What's the premise of this film?
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Well, it's an incredible film, so beautiful, a journey of
a young man who's seeking revenge after is suffered an
early childhood trauma loss of his family. But he doesn't
do it in normal way. He goes kind of into
a different realm. So you'll see that. I played kind
of a reflection of the lead character, Marcus Stylers, the name.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
He's played beautifully by Blaine Maye. Nice an actor coming on.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
So we were thrilled to work together and bring this
really kind of mystical Western to you.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Like I said, I love the genre.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm so glad westerns are really kind of making a
comeback and having.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Absolutely and this one is in theaters. It's really big
beautiful cinematic movie. So definitely the best way to see it. Yes,
and you'll have that chance November seven, so catch it
in the theater. I was hoping that, you know, guys
are our age, and of course we're going to love Westerns, men, women,
I mean people. Let's get those young people out and
(01:28):
restart Westerns in the theater.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Absolutely, I fell in love with the when I was young.
It's just pretty. Look at your right, you do appreciate
more in the theater. Where'd you shoot it at? Durman?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
This is an old too soon. It's outside the city
there in Arizona. I never worked there before, but it's
a classic location. Hundreds of Westerns being shot there over
the over the years.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, speaking of classics, you've done some Westerns in the eighties,
classic Young Guns, which I loved. What's your favorite genre
a movie to make?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Well, this might be, This might be it, just because
of the extra stuff. I've always been a rider my
whole life. Certainly those movies, you'd have to list them off. Last,
Outlaws a great movie HBO made with Mickey Yorke, great cast.
Bad Girls had its place in our lives there in
the in the mid nineties, and a ton.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Of other westerns.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I was in Sam Shepherd's movie Silentum with River and
Richard Harris Allen Bates, so this is like coming home
from me. I love the livestock in the whole field
of this. Long Shadows has a very classic feel with
if I'd say, sort of.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
A modern modern twist or has a good sort of
updated psychology to it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, it must be so much fun to film, and
it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
You'll come out next time.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
All right, sounds good, but one of the means most lasses
on there or something, you know, people make those cameos.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I can ride too many time.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
All right, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Sons good.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
We're also in the thickest season fourteen of your show
Chicago Fire. What's going on with your character Chief Pascal?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
In Chief Pascal I go was gifted with this role.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Last year season thirteen, you went through a rainier lost
his wife and you really had a beautiful, tough depiction
of a man going through processing his grief. So we
found him season fourteen. Still, you know, still struggling with
that and swives. There's new people in his life, stay tuned,
(03:31):
and terrible budget cuts in the city, so we got
to keep a house together, and I think Chief Pascal
is the man Mario. I've loved working on that show
for all the reasons that you dank justus. You don't
know what's coming next, you know, like the a real person,
you don't know what's going to happen in the Chief's
(03:52):
life next. So I love that feeling of kind of
falling off the olds of the cliff. Each week when
the script comes, you learn what's going to happen. I've
been watching it this season too. I recommend it. It's
such a great show. And the actors I work with
are brilliant and beautiful in that in fire House fifty one,
really great group of people.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Oh that's cool, man. And over the summer you were
in a really a buzzy show on Netflix called The
Hunting Wives.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I remember the.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
First episode of My wife and I were watching, were like, oh, okay,
what'd you think about the reception of that show?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And you had a fun character.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
That's just the first episode that actually, no, it goes down.
I fell from there, which every way to look at it,
but that was really something else I knew. We put
our heart and soul and a couple other things into it.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
For sure. But you never know, right, So this one
just took off.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I think it it hit a little ticklish pocket there.
Then everybody of all stripes loved this show. On the
other shows, I do kind of fall into a certain
fan type or category. You know, this was just across
the board and the way people have viewed stuff now
where they threw something on a streamer, it's a totally
(05:08):
different like absorbers absorption ratio, you know. So that one,
that one just really took off. We're so proud of it,
and we go even really right away next month to
start filming second season.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Nice, what a fun character to play I saw.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I think, I.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Don't know what's in season two, but as far as
I know, Jed Banks is still running for governors.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Okay, yeah, yeah. And I saw your band Jack Rabbits
playing the famous whiskey of Go Go.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Will. We got that gig. So here's what I do.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I sing with my brother Kieran, just a straight country duo,
and we figured we'd bring it out and the things
kind of caught on.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
We have beautiful original songs. We do a couple of covers,
country covers.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
But then we start getting these getting these gigs, and
then the Whiskey Go Go called.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Couldn't believe it, so.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It would be like a country night at the Whiskey
then night. I recommend you come out November twenty third.
That's the Sunday before the Thanksgiving week, so you know
nobody's working on Monday.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, so come on out and you know, kick your
boots around.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Sounds good man. I like a good reason to throw
on a hat and getting really fun.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
That's the reason, and that's the whole idea with this act.
Hope you enjoyed it if you come see tell your
fans right o.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
