00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,759 just come off of uh Daran 210 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,719 and and uh and they said you know do you 211 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,119 what what show would you want to do and 212 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,919 I said well an urban legend show and 213 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,958 they said well what what's the concept 214 00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:37,439 and I had this really long elaborate 215 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,159 storyline that I spent weeks and weeks 216 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,159 on uh about a reporter um and it was 217 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,879 almost exactly nightstalker which is 218 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,799 hilarious um and uh and uh they they 219 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,719 kind of looked at me and they were like 220 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,599 nah they're like you know any other you 221 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,039 know what else and I said well cuz I I 222 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,439 literally scribbled it in my notebook 223 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,078 the day before which which was I said 224 00:12:00,079 --> 00:12:02,799 well you know could be like Route 66 225 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,518 like two guys

and just sort of uh developed 229 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,239 from there and and it turned out to be 230 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,679 just the the right uh you know the right 231 00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:16,999 way into the show because they can just 232 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,359 drive it you know the boys could just 233 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,559 drive in and out of a different horror

00:16:13,919 it from Eric's perspective um I uh I had 332 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,318 obviously been working with Warner 333 00:16:15,319 --> 00:16:17,799 Brothers for Gilmore Girls and um the 334 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,879 five years prior to doing the show I'd 335 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,318 worked on Gilmore Girls and sort of 336 00:16:21,319 --> 00:16:23,838 developed a relationship

00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,039 as something that I remember hearing 343 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,638 sort of once sence breakdown of like 344 00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:38,359 it's kind of uh Supernatural it's called 345 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,999 Supernatural and I was thinking like 346 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,958 great Charmed or Buffy which are all 347 00:16:41,959 --> 00:16:43,398 great shows but not the show I wanted to 348 00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:44,879 be a part of you know I didn't want to 349 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,119 do Roswell or Charmed or Buffy and then 350 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,919 when I read it I was like wow this is 351 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,398 this is very interesting and and so much 352 00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:53,919 more than just like do scary show so 353 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,318 what what appeal to you about it well I 354 00:16:56,319 --> 00:16:58,559 sort of uh I grew up son of an English 355 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,679 teacher so she was

00:17:06,678 sort of uh the Joseph Campbell taught 359 00:17:06,679 --> 00:17:09,719 teachings the taught teachings of 360 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,279 Joseph and 361 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,479 uh didn't didn't rub off that she was an 362 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,429 English didn't rub 363 00:17:18,439 --> 00:17:21,479 off uh yeah it didn't it didn't I just 364 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,038 worked till 4:30 this morning in 365 00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:25,239 Vancouver so I'm that you mention Joseph 366 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,399 Campbell because there's a little bit of 367 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,519 the reluctant hero very much I mean 368 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,558 there's more than there's so much more 369 00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:32,279 than just the reluctant hero I mean when 370 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,558 you get into the archetypes there sort 371 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:36,279 of each script is just bursting at the 372 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,239 seams with archetypes and you know last 373 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,839 thing I think these people want to hear 374 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,239 is me going to a explanation of I love 375 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,639 the script I love the 376 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,918 character did I 377 00:17:48,919 --> 00:17:52,199 so we're doing a we're doing um answer 378 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,319 I'm

--> 00:18:02,239 right right I guess I guess where the 382 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,119 where the process or how the process 383 00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:06,798 where it was going to reach me was read 384 00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:08,158 the script see if you like the character 385 00:18:08,159 --> 00:18:09,359 see if you like the script it was sort 386 00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:11,479 of like do you you know do you mesh with 387 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,678 this do you feel you could mesh with 388 00:18:12,679 --> 00:18:14,599 this script and I felt I could and so I 389 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,158 went and I and I met some of the guys 390 00:18:16,159 --> 00:18:18,678 and I REM met Nutter and you know sat in 391 00:18:18,679 --> 00:18:22,239 an office with who was it KY was it me 392

great and you can imagine I 604 00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:02,999 can see instantly 5 years of of 605 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,719 suffering for these guys in uh in 606 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,119 episode after 607 00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:09,999 episode uh and the second thing honestly 608 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,199 is is uh is casting and chemistry and 609 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,079 chemistry is something you can't 610 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,398 manufacture and these guys have it and 611 00:27:18,399 --> 00:27:19,759 they're so great to write for and 612 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:29,158 they're so fun to write for [Applause] 613 00:27:29,159 --> 00:27:33,158 [Applause] worth a try worth a try yeah so I said 614 00:27:33,159 --> 00:27:36,999 yeah I'm coming on okay Bob how they 615 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,789 you can I just watch 616 00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:43,999 them um they had actually made this 617 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,678 pilot and uh I I saw the pilot and uh 618 00:27:46,679 --> 00:27:48,439 really liked it a lot and I think uh 619 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,038 what the studio wanted was um after they 620 00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:52,999 saw it and I got picked up in the studio 621 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,759 one point probably said to 622 00:27:56,519 --> 00:27:59,119 themselves we're just keep it you can't get 623 00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:02,199 we're just keep it you can't get anything done it this is what it's like 624 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,158 to direct them 625 00:28:04,159 --> 00:28:07,359 too uh uh the studio said well we we 626 00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:09,599 can't give 40 plus million dollars to 627 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,798 Eric kryp very true and let him run wild so 628 00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:20,830 kryp very true and let him run wild so they say what we need is you know 629 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:29,430 some this is so hard 630 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,439 these people are very um so they thought 631 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,158 they needed some uh you know a an 632 00:28:35,159 --> 00:28:37,199 experienced hand to guide the young man 633 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,558 through these Rocky Waters the young the 634 00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:41,398 young man of course felt what do I need 635 00:28:41,399 --> 00:28:44,999 this old fart for no way uh anyway we 636 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,918 met and we met a number of times and um 637 00:28:47,919 --> 00:28:49,879 finally Eric got comfortable enough with 638 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,798 me for uh for us to join up and and 639 00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:56,359 partner on this thing and um it it's 640 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,798 interesting cuz I mean we are sort of 641 00:28:57,799 --> 00:28:59,278 different generations and and we 642 00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:01,759 approach um drama in kind of a different 643 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,479 way um but as we sort of work together 644 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,719 we found that we always we really arrive 645 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,879 at the same place even though kind of 646 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,319 the the methods are a little different 647 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,479 of how we get there and it's uh can you 648 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,119 explain what you mean when you say that 649 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,599 coming from different Generations you 650 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,759 approach drama in different way well I 651 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:17,879 don't know if that's a generational 652 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,599 thing but I'm very uh 653 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,830 sober drunk there's that yeah 654 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,558 um this is so boring but um for um I I I 655 00:29:31,559 --> 00:29:32,999 kind of come in everything from a 656 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,959 character stand point of view it's it's 657 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,759 all about character to me and I like to 658 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,719 let the plot work itself out given what 659 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,759 the characters are going to do and what 660 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,319 I'm interested in the scenes is how that 661 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,079 you know it drives the plot but I'm most 662 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,999 interested in how the characters react 663 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,798 to it um and and so the stories I do 664 00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:53,558 tend to get a little like like this but 665 00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:54,599 the character stuff is probably 666 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,999 interesting Eric really works very very 667 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,639 hard on the story 668 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,278 uh and gets the plot down and knows that 669 00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:02,839 once his plot is good the the character 670 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,879 stuff will come naturally to that so we 671 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,239 sort of go like this when we're in the 672 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,599 room together and we we'll arrive at 673 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,199 that place which both things are 674 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,359 serviced and and I think you're we're 675 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,038 really in sort of one voice now that we 676 00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:19,759 we rarely disagree on stuff and it's uh 677 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,158 you know I've worked alone for a long 678 00:30:21,159 --> 00:30:22,719 time so it's kind of really cool to have 679 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,639 a partner yeah and to to blow smoke up 680 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,398 his ass for a minute um he brings a 681 00:30:28,399 --> 00:30:31,158 depth uh uh and and and maturity of char 682 00:30:31,159 --> 00:30:33,678 of character of just depth to the drama 683 00:30:33,679 --> 00:30:37,518 that I could not do you know me on me 684 00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:41,918 alone like is Boogeyman and 685 00:30:41,919 --> 00:30:44,359 and and and like all of a sudden with 686 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,199 him like you know we have a a show where 687 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,278 you have these characters that are 688 00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:49,278 psychologically rich and true and and 689 00:30:49,279 --> 00:30:52,558 and and Bob is is behind huge amounts of 690 00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:55,798 that so we the show would not succeed at 691 00:30:55,799 --> 00:30:58,918 all without him so 692 00:30:58,919 --> 00:31:03,558 oh a come on give kiss 693 00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:06,319 we let me ask one more question before I 694 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,839 before I open this up but this is for 695 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,999 the writers mostly um which I guess is 696 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,999 Eric and John but um you know Eric 697 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,079 you've been quoted um is saying that uh 698 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,798 you know this show differs from a lot of 699 00:31:17,799 --> 00:31:20,239 the other uh suspense or Supernatural 700 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,359 shows that you said there because you 701 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,959 don't want to get involved so much in 702 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,079 those long drawn out stories or or the 703 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,319 mythology so much as you just I don't 704 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,678 know whether these are accurate quotes 705 00:31:29,679 --> 00:31:32,599 but you want to um just focus on scaring 706 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,959 people and on the on the urban uh 707 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,959 folklore and and and so on and just 708 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,319 scaring people but um I think I I I 709 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,999 speaking for myself and and maybe some 710 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,239 people out here too I find the mythology 711 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,558 uh with the kids with their mom and 712 00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:49,918 their their dad and uh um you know one 713 00:31:49,919 --> 00:31:51,479 of the really compelling parts of the 714 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,158 story so um I'm wondering how you just 715 00:31:54,159 --> 00:31:55,798 and I and you know you start to see even 716 00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:57,518 with the last episode that aired last 717 00:31:57,519 --> 00:31:59,319 Tuesday you're starting to see you guys 718 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,558 are coming back to that um and I'm 719 00:32:01,559 --> 00:32:03,239 wondering how do you decide when it's 720 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,359 time to sort of Veer away from what 721 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,199 xfiles used to call the monster of the 722 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,879 week story and come back to the 723 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,918 mythology of the show so it's really for 724 00:32:11,919 --> 00:32:13,398 John and Eric how do you decide when 725 00:32:13,399 --> 00:32:15,759 it's time to do that or joh uh two 726 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,839 things I mean a lot of painful uh hair 727 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,678 pulling discussions and arguments and 728 00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:21,479 when should we and when shouldn't we but 729 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:22,839 part of it is driven too by just the 730 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,398 nature of Television you want to save 731 00:32:24,399 --> 00:32:27,518 some of your big moments for sweeps and 732 00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:30,199 so you kind of work the season around 733 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,239 that works actually a very nice uh five 734 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,599 or six episodes that are non mythology 735 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,079 and then you can you can pull the 736 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,038 mythology back and and again due to the 737 00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:42,798 nature of Television you want to end the 738 00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:46,239 season with some something astounding 739 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,239 and uh also going to back to what Bob 740 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,239 was saying the mythology is all about 741 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,879 character it's all about what the boys 742 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,798 are going through and family and so 743 00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:56,158 that's where we are going to head when 744 00:32:56,159 --> 00:32:58,558 we want to do something spectacular so 745 00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:00,798 yeah we we had a we have and 746 00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:02,879 surprisingly have stuck to it we have a 747 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,918 a a a mythology plan for season one we 748 00:33:06,919 --> 00:33:08,798 also have you know God willing a pickup 749 00:33:08,799 --> 00:33:10,199 we have mythology plans for season two 750 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,839 and season 3 but we have this plan of 751 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,918 where the story goes in in yeah on the 752 00:33:16,919 --> 00:33:21,518 CW on the CW we get to see this um and 753 00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:23,518 and so you know it was sort of the plan 754 00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:26,278 which is the first seven or about really 755 00:33:26,279 --> 00:33:28,038 first seven episodes you wanted these 756 00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:29,398 self- enclosed stories so you could kind 757 00:33:29,399 --> 00:33:30,678 of pick up new viewers and then you 758 00:33:30,679 --> 00:33:32,199 start threading in a little bit more 759 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,599 mythology but I think it's a balance 760 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,678 because I mean it's my own just you know 761 00:33:35,679 --> 00:33:37,678 kind of personal taste which is I mean I 762 00:33:37,679 --> 00:33:39,319 like a you know I want a satisfying 763 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,918 story every week too and and um you know 764 00:33:42,919 --> 00:33:45,158 I mean lost is an Untouchable show I 765 00:33:45,159 --> 00:33:46,518 mean it's an it's a brilliant and 766 00:33:46,519 --> 00:33:48,079 unbelievable show but I I I find the 767 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,599 endless mystery my own taste 768 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,999 frustrating um and and if you're going 769 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,319 to give ongoing mystery all right people 770 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,479 who believe and if you're going to give 771 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,638 ongoing mystery at least give like a 772 00:34:00,639 --> 00:34:03,678 rolicking badass story apart from it 773 00:34:03,679 --> 00:34:05,199 that can can have a beginning middle and 774 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,158 end and you can be satisfied and the 775 00:34:07,159 --> 00:34:08,878 good guys can win and you and you can 776 00:34:08,879 --> 00:34:10,358 have the experience of being told a 777 00:34:10,359 --> 00:34:12,279 story and then you know thread in the 778 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,719 ongoing mystery so I think it's it's 779 00:34:13,720 --> 00:34:15,039 it's keeping a lot of different plates 780 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,239 spinning and it's not it shouldn't be 781 00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:18,319 any one thing or or another do you know 782 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,918 where this story ends um I do actually 783 00:34:21,919 --> 00:34:23,358 yeah does anyone else on this panel know 784 00:34:23,359 --> 00:34:24,999 where the strands yeah but if we tell

--> 00:39:35,759 you know these things happen so fast and 906 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,479 furious and and that it was actually a 907 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,598 mistake um we we 908 00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:44,358 wanted Jared is or Sam's character is 909 00:39:44,359 --> 00:39:46,358 supposed to be a junior in college and 910 00:39:46,359 --> 00:39:49,598 starting the interviewing process for

freshman year and his 914 00:39:55,359 --> 00:39:56,879 sophomore year away from Dean and hasn't 915 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:57,959 seen Dean 916 00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,759 then this is beginning of junior year 917 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,039 this is fall of junior year so it's been 918 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,879 technically two years as he's beginning 919 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,838 the process but because I think because 920 00:40:06,839 --> 00:40:09,559 what happened you know you guys you know 921 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,479 the the you know online like sort of 922 00:40:11,480

of 925 00:40:17,079 --> 00:40:19,358 bought that he was a junior and so there 926 00:40:19,359 --> 00:40:20,719 was a lot of discussion of these two 927 00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:22,999 lost years and

--> 00:56:24,798 Rock so yeah let's talk about where the 1290 00:56:24,799 --> 00:56:27,519 inspiration came from that that was 1291 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,199 something that was really important to 1292 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,479 me uh coming into the show coming into 1293 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,639 the pilot um you know I'm I'm from a 1294 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,439 small town in Ohio and this is the music 1295 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,078 I listened to and I was a huge huge 1296 00:56:38,079 --> 00:56:42,679 Zeppelin fan and and so you know and so 1297 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,479 uh when it came time to write the pilot 1298 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,118 I and and produce it it was it was so 1299 00:56:46,119 --> 00:56:48,118 important to me that have that music and 1300 00:56:48,119 --> 00:56:50,279 and not have you know I'll I'll do 1301 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,118 respect to my beloved network not have 1302 00:56:52,119 --> 00:56:55,078 the music that's usually on that Network 1303 00:56:55,079 --> 00:56:56,879 um and and it was so important to me I 1304 00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,519 was so like rabbit about it that in the 1305 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,959 original draft of the pilot I even wrote 1306 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,038 in the in the script I wrote Q music and 1307 00:57:04,039 --> 00:57:05,879 you can take your anemic alternative pop 1308 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,190 and shove it up your 1309 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,959 ass and uh and the and the reason I 1310 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,639 wrote the scene when they're in in the 1311 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:15,679 pilot they the scene where they're 1312 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,038 talking about tapes and he's like you 1313 00:57:17,039 --> 00:57:19,639 know ACDC you know uh Motorhead 1314 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:21,679 Metallica And the reason I wrote that in 1315 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,318 is I said well if we shoot that and it 1316 00:57:23,319 --> 00:57:24,798 gets into the pilot then we have to use 1317 00:57:24,799 --> 00:57:27,279 my music because it's already in the 1318 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:28,959 it's already in the it's in the show and 1319 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,439 they can't you know they can't put in 1320 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,358 some you know Sarah mlin in the in the 1321 00:57:32,359 --> 00:57:35,838 in the post so uh

incredibly proud 1454 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:49,719 of because there were four great scenes 1455 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,358 the scene where the boys were arming up 1456 01:02:52,359 -->

time 1462 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,358 with that and we kind of arm wrestled 1463 01:03:09,359 --> 01:03:12,318 over it and he and uh to get him there 1464 01:03:12,319 --> 01:03:15,078 and you know cuz cuz Dean is uh you know 1465 01:03:15,079 --> 01:03:17,239 he's got his walls up and to break down 1466 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,118 that wall for just a minute to look into 1467 01:03:19,119 --> 01:03:21,919 Dean's heart was was magical for me and 1468 01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,558 then when they met dad in uh the 1469 01:03:24,559 --> 01:03:27,798 apartment uh and in the alley it was 1470 01:03:27,799 --> 01:03:32,159 just we worked very hard MH the boys 1471 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,879 they their game of tennis improves 1472 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,159 2,000% when they work with Jeffrey Dean 1473 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:41,118 or somebody like Nikki 1474 01:03:41,119 --> 01:03:45,358 ACX no we find the nuances and uh it it 1475 01:03:45,359 --> 01:03:48,159 and acting it becomes the crap that it 1476 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,439 is and it becomes real uh life and the 1477 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,798 words become their own and the emotions 1478 01:03:53,799 --> 01:03:56,879 become their own and that's special for 1479 01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,358 me and not just to say this but having a 1480 01:03:59,359 --> 01:04:01,838 great director to tell you exactly what 1481 01:04:01,839 --> 01:04:04,759 to do doesn't make it hard so you know I 1482 01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,798 think Jensen and I would tell you 1483 01:04:06,799 --> 01:04:09,919 thousand times every day that you know 1484 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,879 Kim got 1485 01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,199 out hey Jensen did you not want to do 1486 01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:15,558 that scene because you thought that Dean 1487 01:04:15,559 --> 01:04:20,078 wouldn't say that um yeah sometimes I I 1488 01:04:20,079 --> 01:04:21,759 I I guess I can be a little protective 1489 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,519 of just of of Dean and and him showing 1490 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,358 emotions and I you know you know I 1491 01:04:28,279 --> 01:04:30,639 always um and as an actor as you grow with a 1492 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:32,598 um and as an actor as you grow with a character on a series you you really you 1493 01:04:32,599 --> 01:04:34,879 really kind of become close to it you 1494 01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,479 you you protect it U you protect that 1495 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,159 character and um I guess that that was 1496 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,959 probably what what what that was in uh I 1497 01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,919 just didn't I wasn't real sure 1498 01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:49,838 how uh how much of the layers uh to peal 1499 01:04:49,839 --> 01:04:52,879 away in that scene and I guess in that 1500 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,159 confusion I just I kind of put up my own 1501 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,159 barrier but uh if there was anybody to 1502 01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:58,719 get me through it it was Kim so I'm glad 1503 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,358 he was there great yeah John you have a 1504 01:05:01,359 --> 01:05:04,519 favorite scene uh

did at the very you 1571 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,239 know second episode of the year and I 1572 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:47,358 remember there was just such a long 1573 01:07:47,359 --> 01:07:49,479 period of time between the pilot and 1574 01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,439 windigo it was what from March April 1575 01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,919 till July and uh there was so questions 1576 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:56,879 in my head when I found that we were 1577 01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:58,078 getting picked up like what's going to 1578 01:07:58,079 --> 01:07:59,439 happen where are we going to start like 1579 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,399 how do we start how do we finish how do 1580 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:02,838 we continue this story that we started 1581 01:08:02,839 --> 01:08:04,558 in the pilot with so many things going 1582 01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:06,679 down how do we keep the momentum going 1583 01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,838 and there was this one particular scene 1584 01:08:08,839 --> 01:08:11,719 that uh Jensen and I did on stage where 1585 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,199 he's got Dad's Journal he's saying this 1586 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:14,719 is what it's about and Sam is saying I 1587 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,758 got to find dad and I remember we uh we 1588 01:08:16,759 --> 01:08:18,079 had a huge day that day we had like 1589 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,879 eight or nine pages of dialogue and uh 1590 01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:22,198 Jensen and I realized that we had to do 1591 01:08:22,199 --> 01:08:26,158 this scene we're like oh crap like what 1592 01:08:26,159 --> 01:08:27,758 like let's go memorize it my trailer we 1593 01:08:27,759 --> 01:08:29,399 sat down on my trailer and there was an 1594 01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:30,919 acting coach that I I work with whenever 1595 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:32,439 I can named Cameron Thor up there with 1596 01:08:32,440 --> 01:08:35,439 us and uh you know he kind of pushed and 1597 01:08:35,440 --> 01:08:36,758 prodded me a little bit and I don't know 1598 01:08:36,759 --> 01:08:41,879 what he did to Jensen but uh we we 1599 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:47,510 were I don't want to talk about it was 1600 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,838 noisy never again that's between yell on 1601 01:08:49,839 --> 01:08:52,119 the wall but anyways we ended up we 1602 01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:53,599 ended up kind of getting the scene and 1603 01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:55,119 and putting something there and I I 1604 01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,519 think um it was one of the first times I 1605 01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,559 ever felt like um I was I was hopefully 1606 01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:03,278 doing what kpy wanted you know like I 1607 01:09:03,279 --> 01:09:05,238 think like I felt like you know I think 1608 01:09:05,239 --> 01:09:06,959 this is what Eric was envisioning like I 1609 01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:08,798 really felt for some reason it was one 1610 01:09:08,799 --> 01:09:09,879 of those times when you finish a scene 1611 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:10,999 and you're like wow like I don't know 1612 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,599 where that came from but I don't know 1613 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:14,879 whatever I remember seeing the dailies 1614 01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:16,399 on that too that we were just through 1615 01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:17,919 the roof was 1616 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,639 incredible Bob uh I think uh my favorite scene is a 1617 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,439 Bob uh I think uh my favorite scene is a really quiet scene and it's it um it's 1618 01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:27,758 at the end of uh the faith episode and 1619 01:09:27,759 --> 01:09:29,559 and that whole episode was really about 1620 01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,238 I think very topical for today about 1621 01:09:33,239 --> 01:09:37,079 what's what's real faith and uh Julie 1622 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,358 Ben comes in and has a scene with Jensen 1623 01:09:40,359 --> 01:09:43,519 and uh Jensen says to her um I'm I'm not 1624 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:45,919 much for praying but I I'll pray for you 1625 01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:47,519 and she said well that's a miracle right 1626 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,959 there and um I I thought that kind of I 1627 01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:52,079 thought it was really sweet I thought it 1628 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,639 was incredibly well acted uh with both 1629 01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:58,599 Julie and and and I thought that um that 1630 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,839 probably if people were listening I 1631 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,519 think that probably was 1632 01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:06,079 our you know our finest moment toh say 1633 01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:08,999 something semi-political and and be um 1634 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:10,479 on the right side of that I just hope it 1635 01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:17,590 affected people the way it affected 1636 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:21,439 me um I I agree with all of those all of 1637 01:10:21,440 --> 01:10:23,359 those are incredible scenes I would also 1638 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,839 add uh the scene when 1639 01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:29,119 uh Dean first calls his father in home 1640 01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:31,279 and tells him that come to Lawrence and 1641 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,559 just the way that Jensen was able to try 1642 01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,238 to put up those walls but the walls kept 1643 01:10:36,239 --> 01:10:38,919 breaking down and that was amazing but 1644 01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:40,119 all those amazing scenes aside 1645 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,759 everyone's given such classy answers um 1646 01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,198 I have to say that when the when the 1647 01:10:44,199 --> 01:10:46,839 dude stuck his hand at 1648 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,079 disposal in 1649 01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,319 home and and then the monkey starts 1650 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,839 clapping and and we had that shot 1651 01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:55,319 beneath the sink and you could actually 1652 01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,119 see all the goo come out and I said I 1653 01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:58,559 and we shot it in da I said they'll 1654 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:00,799 never let us use that and we used it and 1655 01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:02,879 uh it's it's more probably than any 1656 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:04,279 other scare sequence in the show it's 1657 01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,319 the one that people watch and they just 1658 01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:07,559 they can't even you know keep their eyes 1659 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,039 on the screen and you know to me that's 1660 01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:10,198 sort of the fun of getting the effect 1661 01:11:10,199 --> 01:11:11,519 out of the audience so I'm going to say 1662 01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:18,790 the garbage disposal scene in 1663 01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,039 home it's great because that explains 1664 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:22,359 what Bob was talking about before with 1665 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,839 the two different approaches right okay 1666 01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:26,279 I want to thank you guys you guys have 1667 01:11:26,280 -->
