00:00So you're on a show with 25 Emmy nominations, which is wild, and you're such a kick-ass on the show.
00:05So tell me about the stunts and just working that hard, and how was that part?
00:09It's a lot. It's not just the stunts. It's wearing the costumes every day.
00:14That's already physically tough. Mentally, it's the most heavy role that I've ever played.
00:20I was dreaming nightmares, so yeah, it was a lot.
00:25And then, of course, for a show like this, to tackle colonization in such a specific time period,
00:29how important was it to stay true to that time period and the culture?
00:32I think that it was very important. Our story is also loosely based on actual history,
00:38and so we wanted to take every element that we could, but we also needed to condense it into 10 episodes,
00:44and I think that we did it the best way that we could.
00:48And, of course, you just saw Kathy Bates. Everybody's excited about your show,
00:51but what's the show you're excited about that you can't wait for the next season?
00:54Oh, oh. What show? Are they doing The Bear?
01:00Yeah.
01:01Yeah, I love The Bear!
01:02Season 3 was crazy.
01:03Yeah, yeah. Wait, but I did see the other one.
01:05She lives in Japan, or she's in Japan a lot.
01:08Did you see season 3 in America?
01:10No, I saw season 3. Yeah, I loved season 3. Are they doing another season 3?
01:14Yes, they are. I think so.
01:15Okay, but right now they're nominated for season 2?
01:17No, season 2.
01:18Season 3.
01:19No, I think you're right.
01:20Right?
01:21Now you're confusing me.
01:22I don't know.
01:23I love that show as well.
