00:00Hi guys, so excited for the new season
00:03Thank you as Brazos official number one fan
00:06I'm so excited that we get to see so much backstory on this especially through you know, the the death of sass
00:12Can you talk about going back into the past of Brazos and finally giving us a look at what the heyday was like?
00:18Well, you know
00:19I always have had as a writer or person had an interest in people who were hot hot television stars
00:26You know for five or six years and then they become so identified with the character that it's hard for them to get out
00:32of that and so I
00:35Fascinated by that character and I wanted to play that. I was also fascinated by sort of a B level
00:43Broadway director
00:46No, and I I just like I thought there's a lot of energy there
00:51But I you know
00:53There's one season where I'm they're rebooting Brazos and I think it's about me, but it's not they've been a new star
00:59But I make a speech I say this show has been such a hit in Canada the United States and parts of Brazil. I
01:09Don't know I just I just like the cop show
01:14Genre
01:15now
01:17For Mabel, you know, she's been on quite this journey
01:20Across four seasons and it's a very it's very vulnerable for her when they're talking about making a movie
01:27She's she's guarded and she has to decide what's gonna be best for her in the end
01:31Can you talk a little bit about that because I feel like as she's going through the process after she accepts
01:36She's still kind of unsure at many points. Oh, I think I think that's very natural for Mabel
01:41I feel that
01:43She
01:44Throughout the show has tried to get control of her life
01:48and she's trying to identify what she wants to do and be and I
01:53Find I find her really like fun. But yeah, she's a she's aware and she doesn't wanna
02:01Stay stuck in you know a bad place. She needs a house and
02:09With death rattle kind of behind us from last season
02:13Oh
02:16My god had so much fun with that, but I'll try learning pick with triplets. Yeah
02:22That was a fantastic. Mr. Martin Eugene Levy and you go way way back
02:27Yes, we do. Was he the only choice for him?
02:30He was actually the only choice to play me and he I think he signed up right away because yes, you know
02:35I think I mean you're as old as friend
02:38But I feel like I've worked with a man had such good times with him that you just go yes, I'll break him
02:44that's fun, and then he's so good and he's so he's playing such a
02:48Funny premise which that he idolizes Charles, which no one does
02:55We can't figure out why I love this mystery man. He keeps calling me a mystery man. Who is this man?
03:02No, it's good instincts because
03:05Eugene is obsessed with him
03:07Eva's just about her own
03:10You know endless endorsements of products and Zach hates me
03:16Your relationship with Zach Galifianakis on this is hilarious
03:20And it really goes back and forth because we get a little bit of a ego on Zach Galifianakis
03:25What can you share about the chemistry between these two characters and the friction?
03:31Well, the friction is he does he's only doing this role for the money. He doesn't not interested in me
03:36I know nothing about him
03:38I think he's Jack black initially
03:39but I think that Zach Galifianakis is one of the great comic actors just a great actor and he's
03:46Such a lovely guy to work. Yeah, I like Eugene's line to me. I'm trying to get away from me
03:51He says, you know at our age thing to look out for is sepsis
03:56And then Steve goes, oh there's Phil Moses yeah
04:02for Mabel Selena
04:05What can you share about the selection of Ava did you have any insight into that now we all got pitched ideas and
04:12And I was thrilled. I if anything flattered
04:16So it was it was a really good time and she nailed it. I'm sorry that just
04:22So funny watching her do you know all of her takes it was very fun and really quick before I go
04:29Selena the emails that I keep getting about Wizards of Waverly Place has been bunkers
04:34They want to know where has your character been all this time? And what can they expect? What can you tease?
04:39I guess what I would say is now you get a glimpse of where Alex Russo and the Russo family is kind of at
04:4817 or something years later and it's a lot has changed
04:52But there's still the heart of what keeps Wizards of Waverly Place alive
04:56So I'm excited and I hope people enjoy it. And lastly, can we see any special appearances? Oh, they don't answer my
05:08But I was kind of was a little hurt when she said can you read for our cast
