to I I We're gonna go catch a fewer own
right speak. Speaking of the show, more congratulations. It is
out on Fox. It's called A Cleaning Lady. It looks
pretty wild. What's the premise exactly? Yeah, it's cool, man,
it's different, you know. I mean it takes place in Vegas.
(03:39):
It's about this Kimbodian woman who's looking at the Philippines
who comes to the United States under medical visa to
to save her son's life bone marrow transplant donor backs out.
She decides to stay now, she's undocumented and witnesses a
murder from the mob. She's a cleaning lady to make
ends meet, and they're gonna kill her, and she says,
(04:00):
please wait, I can help you. I can clean for you,
I can clean up your messes. She's actually a prominent
doctor in the Philippines, so she knows her way around.
And these mobsters, this one in particular, starts helping her out.
She gets a little too deep, they keep helping her son,
So now she's locked in. And I'm Garrett Miller. I
(04:20):
play an FBI guy who then turns her as an informant.
But she's sort of playing both sides, you know. And
it's it's the theme of sort of how far would
you go to save your kids? And you've got you've
got kids, dude, you know, I mean, I'd go to
jail for my kids. Yeah, it doesn't matter to me,
you know what I mean. That's it, you know. So
it's it's an interesting conversation piece, you know. Um, absolutely,
(04:42):
And I love the premise, very very rich. Who are
you willing to hurt? Yeah, it's it's it's cool. It's cool,
you know. And I'm the token white guy, which i'd love,
you know what I mean, the only white dude, And
and it's it's awesome, and it's it's it's a it's
a real look at different cultures. It's a look at immigration,
it's you know, it's dealing with sort of just getting
(05:03):
into some of the facts. You know, there's been a
lot of research that's been done by the creators. Um,
so we're trying to sort of stay true to what
the system, how the system actually works. But you're not
hammered over the head with it. You know. It's a
real it's a it's a real story. Um. But that
is the backdrop, you know. That's awesome. What do you
guys shoot the show in Albuquerque? Oh, Alberqueque right there? Okay, Yeah,
(05:27):
a lot of green chili, good green chili. I bought
everything is green chili. It's green chili, ice cream, green chili,
every frog exactly. Yeah, dude, it's it's it's everything. But
Albuquerque is cool, dude. In New Mexico is I think
a really like a forgotten state. It is beautiful and
(05:48):
the colors are beautiful, and it's just it's an amazing spot.
I really did in New Mexico. I've just been a
lot of time there. I've shot a Christmas film called
Holiday in Santa Fe. I was in Santa Fe, New Message. Yeah.
The Santa Fe is awesome. About two homes in Albuquerque?
(06:09):
Oh is that right? When I was there? Okay? Yeah,
because it's just blowing up like the movie and just
a lot of productionwing up there. So I'm like, all right,
well let's yeah, yeah, a lot of production and it's
a quick little flight. It's not it's not too far
at all. Um. I know while BACKU that it's easy.
A show called The Three of Us with Malin Ackerman.
(06:29):
What happened with that project? Did that not go anywhere?
That that didn't make it? We thought we thought it
was going to go down. It was a really fun show.
It was a sitcom. Family's got siblings, my son who
wants to be an actor, but it's not pursuing it
in any way. He tested for the audition and tested
and went studio, went network, and I get a call
(06:50):
on the golf course and I gotta call it. So
Bodi got the job. I'm like, are you kidding me
right now? I mean so, even though it didn't go
it was a really special nine days, you know, because
I was working with my son. He was a crazy professional.
It was like he's been doing it all his life,
and uh it was, you know, weepy dude. I was
(07:10):
like behind the monitors watching him, like, oh my god.
I couldn't believe what was going on. So it was
it was a dope show. It's really cute. And then
it just you know, I didn't go. And you know
how that of course of course, um let me ask you,
you know, with your kids and knowing how this business
is obviously, and I guess it's it's different because now
it's it's um generational. Did you try to encourage them
(07:34):
or discourage them from the business or just kind of
not mentioned anything because I didn't mention anything. I think
because I do it, and and and and Aaron, my
wife was an actress, not anymore. And their grandparents and
their aunts, I mean, and their and their uncle Wyatt.
I mean, everyone is doing it's just they don't have
a chance. They've got no shots. It's like the first
(07:56):
they're gonna do. You know, yeah, they're cursed. I mean
real my daughter, there is absolutely no question. She's just
come out that way. Uh. List Wilder, he's a little
bit more introspective, you know, he says he wants to
do it, but we'll see. And then I met at
one Bodie. It's just sort of this natural um. But
it's a great question. I think it depends on the kid. Bodie.
(08:19):
I felt could handle it. I had to talk to
my wife and say, should we really allow this? You
know what I mean? But he's got such a good
head on his shoulders. I don't see it going south.
Rio my daughter that can go south, you know what
I mean. It's like she's so all about it, like
I'm gonna you can do plays, you can do be
high school plays. And when you're eighteen years old, you know,
(08:40):
we can start auditioning, you know what I mean. Yeah,
so I think it varies from kid to kid. Yeah, yeah,
thanks for sharing that, um Oliver. You also recently jumped
into some voice acting in the comic book Universe, right,
the DC movie and Justice is Plastic Man. I love
Plastic Man has other than than does he have any
other powers other than stretching for night? He just stretches. Yeah,
(09:05):
he's just stretches. Okay, It's very limber, you know, he's
the superpowers. He's just you know, he does a lot
of yoga. It's extremely limber. That's great. That was fun.
Though I've never done a voice over. I've never been
a voiceover. What's fun? And you forget about it? I
don't know if you've you know if you've done them before,
but you know, two years ago by and all of
a sudden they're like, oh what what what? What is this?
(09:26):
What did I do? Because put together? Yeah, oh yeah,
but it was it was a blast. I mean, that's
something that would be fun to get into on a
regular basis, for sure. Absolutely well. Meanwhile, please be sure
