00:00It's Defying Gravity. We're on ABC, Sunday nights at 10. And it's a story of eight astronauts,

00:09four men, four women, who have to share a bathroom for six years. So a lot of the fun

00:17is the discovery mission to the planets, and then a lot of the fun is, you know, how are

00:24these people going to get along and who's going to sleep with who.

00:26You've got four men and you've got four women, so here's another word.

00:30At least one triangle.

00:32Permutations.

00:33Permutations.

00:34Yeah, I play Don, who's like a veteran of the space program, who's kind of a throwback

00:41model, you know, a little bit of a womanizer, and has a couple of black marks in his dossier.

00:48You like that word?

00:50I do, dossier. It's impressive.

00:52I haven't used that yet today. I just busted that out.

00:55It's gorgeous.

00:56Thank you. I like that. Yeah.

00:59Finds himself on this mission as an alternate, along with the inestimable Zoe Barnes.

01:06There's another one.

01:07Inestimable.

01:08I can't even understand what he's saying.

01:10Their history is that they had a one-night stand pretty much the second that they met,

01:15and then spent the next year or two regretting it.

01:20So there's a little bit of tension, a little bit of chemistry, but it's kind of like messed-up chemistry.

01:28Yeah, I mean, she gets pregnant the first time they sleep together.

01:31He tells her that he's had a vasectomy.

01:34That may or may not turn out to be the case.

01:37And so, yeah.

01:40Yeah, I did want to be an astronaut as a kid, and then I wanted to play an astronaut, and then I finally got to.

01:46So now I kind of want to be an astronaut again.

01:49That's a great job.

01:51Playing an astronaut is fun, and then it makes you want to be an astronaut.

01:54I just wanted to pass math when I was in school.

01:56I didn't think about becoming an astronaut at all, but now I'd like to.

02:02Yeah.
