1
00:00:00.944 --> 00:00:01.777
- It's been long time

2
00:00:01.777 --> 00:00:03.840
since we all sat around
the table like this.

3
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:06.561
- Too long, really, by far.

4
00:00:06.561 --> 00:00:09.930
(gentle music)

5
00:00:09.930 --> 00:00:12.000
- So obviously, like,
get it out of the way,

6
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:13.320
you guys are on a show together.

7
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:14.153
- [Both] Yeah.

8
00:00:14.153 --> 00:00:15.210
You're playing a father-daughter.

9
00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:16.043
- Yeah.

10
00:00:16.043 --> 00:00:17.590
- You're wearing engineering yellow.

11
00:00:17.590 --> 00:00:19.680
- Yeah.
- Oh, wild, right?

12
00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:20.802
- Yeah, it's pretty cool.

13
00:00:20.802 --> 00:00:24.480
How do you feel, like, what's
it like being on set together?

14
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:25.313
- It's awesome.
- It's awesome.

15
00:00:25.313 --> 00:00:26.190
- Yeah.

16
00:00:26.190 --> 00:00:27.690
- I keep, I keep going back to it,

17
00:00:27.690 --> 00:00:28.920
'cause now I keep remembering things

18
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.600
about set, and about filming.

19
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:32.580
It was so normal.

20
00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:35.220
I think that I wish I had
more geek out moments,

21
00:00:35.220 --> 00:00:37.140
like, when we finally announced it,

22
00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:39.810
I wish I could've posted a
selfie of us together in uniform.

23
00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:40.643
- Right.

24
00:00:40.643 --> 00:00:41.476
- But then I realized it didn't take one,

25
00:00:41.476 --> 00:00:45.810
because it didn't feel weird or abnormal,

26
00:00:45.810 --> 00:00:47.040
I was like, "Yeah, I'm at work."

27
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:49.140
- It felt completely natural.

28
00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:50.096
- Yeah.

29
00:00:50.096 --> 00:00:50.929
- I love that.

30
00:00:50.929 --> 00:00:52.230
- Yeah, but at the same time, I'm like,

31
00:00:52.230 --> 00:00:54.330
you didn't take any selfies
of you two in uniform.

32
00:00:54.330 --> 00:00:55.740
What is wrong with you? (laughing)

33
00:00:55.740 --> 00:00:56.640
- You got so excited,

34
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.470
but also it was like, you're
hanging out with your dad.

35
00:00:58.470 --> 00:00:59.813
- Yeah, and it was just like-

36
00:00:59.813 --> 00:01:01.407
- And family, I mean, family,

37
00:01:01.407 --> 00:01:03.657
you know, the "Next Gen" cast, you know,

38
00:01:03.657 --> 00:01:06.930
they have been a part of her
life for the whole of her life.

39
00:01:06.930 --> 00:01:08.880
- It's true. It made
everything comfortable.

40
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:10.950
I think that, thankfully
I grew up in this world,

41
00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:12.450
so I didn't have too many questions,

42
00:01:12.450 --> 00:01:14.580
or was confused, or didn't
feel too uncomfortable.

43
00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:16.380
But I knew that if I did,

44
00:01:16.380 --> 00:01:17.730
I wouldn't be ashamed,

45
00:01:17.730 --> 00:01:20.220
or feel like I'm jeopardizing my career,

46
00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:22.140
like they don't think I
don't know what I'm doing,

47
00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:24.450
because I was so comfy.
It was just my fam.

48
00:01:24.450 --> 00:01:26.070
- I love that. That's so great.

49
00:01:26.070 --> 00:01:27.090
I wish we could all have that.

50
00:01:27.090 --> 00:01:28.293
- Right?

51
00:01:28.293 --> 00:01:31.920
- Also, she's a really
awesome professional,

52
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:33.390
which is to say, I mean,

53
00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:34.860
both my wife and I are in the business,

54
00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:37.440
and now all three of
us are in the business.

55
00:01:37.440 --> 00:01:42.440
And the feedback that I get
on days when she was working

56
00:01:42.690 --> 00:01:44.846
and I was not, right.

57
00:01:44.846 --> 00:01:48.600
That's what a parent lives to hear.

58
00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:50.370
- You know, girl dads are very important.

59
00:01:50.370 --> 00:01:51.755
- Yeah.
- True.

60
00:01:51.755 --> 00:01:54.330
My father did not raise me to be a gamer,

61
00:01:54.330 --> 00:01:56.310
I kind of became one on my own.

62
00:01:56.310 --> 00:01:59.010
But I know from an interview
you did a little while ago

63
00:01:59.010 --> 00:02:00.270
when you were doing "Overwatch" stuff,

64
00:02:00.270 --> 00:02:02.220
that you guys used to play together

65
00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:04.200
when you were much younger.

66
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:05.460
So how did that get started?

67
00:02:05.460 --> 00:02:08.160
And I know you guys, you don't
play anything now, do you?

68
00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:12.033
- Not now, but you know, 'cause
it's a time thing, right?

69
00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:16.680
But as she was growing up, I
was discovering video games,

70
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.560
and it was a way for us
to spend time together.

71
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.070
I mean, we started with
like CD-ROMs and Candy Land-

72
00:02:23.070 --> 00:02:24.060
- Remember "Myst?"

73
00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:25.242
- Oh my gosh.

74
00:02:25.242 --> 00:02:27.391
- [Mica] We were "Myst" fiends!

75
00:02:27.391 --> 00:02:28.227
- [LeVar] Yes!

76
00:02:28.227 --> 00:02:29.127
- [Host] I love that.

77
00:02:29.127 --> 00:02:30.210
- Oh, we loved "Myst."

78
00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:31.110
- Right, and that was something

79
00:02:31.110 --> 00:02:32.700
that we could sit and do together, right?

80
00:02:32.700 --> 00:02:35.160
When we played, like, "Tomb Raider,"

81
00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:36.780
she had a turn, and then I had a turn,

82
00:02:36.780 --> 00:02:38.100
and then she took my turn,

83
00:02:38.100 --> 00:02:39.780
and you know, we were
fighting for the controller.

84
00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:41.310
- But then, also there was a point where

85
00:02:41.310 --> 00:02:43.200
I was like, "Okay, you
sit on the controller,"

86
00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:45.000
and then I was on the
computer in his office,

87
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:46.860
looking up the guide, and
telling him what to do.

88
00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:48.158
- That's true, that's right.

89
00:02:48.158 --> 00:02:49.512
- Yeah, true, we were in that phase.

90
00:02:49.512 --> 00:02:50.720
- She was giving me cheat codes.

91
00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:51.676
- Stop!

92
00:02:51.676 --> 00:02:52.950
- [LeVar] From the like the sidelines.

93
00:02:52.950 --> 00:02:54.381
- You were a man in the chair, right?

94
00:02:54.381 --> 00:02:56.760
That's so funny.

95
00:02:56.760 --> 00:02:58.200
- Those are some of my fondest memories,

96
00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:00.360
of sitting at that big,
wooden desk in his office

97
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:01.530
at the old, clunky Mac.

98
00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:04.470
He was like, struggling
through a Tomb Raider boss,

99
00:03:04.470 --> 00:03:05.880
and I was like, telling him everything

100
00:03:05.880 --> 00:03:08.234
that the online forums were talking about.

101
00:03:08.234 --> 00:03:09.067
- I love that!

102
00:03:09.067 --> 00:03:10.110
That's so incredible.

103
00:03:10.110 --> 00:03:11.554
- But that's how we bonded.

104
00:03:11.554 --> 00:03:12.387
- Yeah.

105
00:03:12.387 --> 00:03:13.660
- Yeah, I mean my mine was
more like my dad being like,

106
00:03:13.660 --> 00:03:15.554
"What the hell is that?

107
00:03:15.554 --> 00:03:18.240
Who are you yelling at
on that microphone?"

108
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:19.110
Cause I used to play "Halo"

109
00:03:19.110 --> 00:03:20.640
all the time when I was a kid.

110
00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:21.985
- I would kick his ass at "Halo."

111
00:03:21.985 --> 00:03:22.920
- Yeah, she did.

112
00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:24.458
I'm not good at it.

113
00:03:24.458 --> 00:03:25.830
I'm not good at it.

114
00:03:25.830 --> 00:03:27.930
I'd love to be good at "Halo."

115
00:03:27.930 --> 00:03:30.060
- And that's why I always
suggested we play "Halo,"

116
00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:31.140
because he was bad at it.

117
00:03:31.140 --> 00:03:34.620
- But see, I did not
grow up with that, right?

118
00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:37.440
I did not grow up with
that sort of dexterity,

119
00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:41.700
and hand-eye-mind connection,

120
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:42.990
so I struggled,

121
00:03:42.990 --> 00:03:44.700
but it comes so naturally to you guys,

122
00:03:44.700 --> 00:03:45.570
'cause it's all you've ever known.

123
00:03:45.570 --> 00:03:46.804
- That's all we do. (laughing)

124
00:03:46.804 --> 00:03:47.906
- [Mica] (laughing) That's all we do.

125
00:03:47.906 --> 00:03:48.739
- That's all we do.

126
00:03:48.739 --> 00:03:49.572
Wait until we talk about the,

127
00:03:49.572 --> 00:03:50.820
me playing "Inverted" conversation,

128
00:03:50.820 --> 00:03:52.110
'cause that's a whole 'nother...

129
00:03:52.110 --> 00:03:53.396
Do you play inverted?
- What?

130
00:03:53.396 --> 00:03:54.540
- [Host] Yes.

131
00:03:54.540 --> 00:03:55.373
- Wow.

132
00:03:55.373 --> 00:04:00.060
- So no, I feel like when I
pull back on the joystick,

133
00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:03.150
I should be looking up,
and when I push forward

134
00:04:03.150 --> 00:04:04.395
I should be looking down.

135
00:04:04.395 --> 00:04:05.228
- Like a plane.

136
00:04:05.228 --> 00:04:06.061
- Yes.

137
00:04:06.061 --> 00:04:06.894
But you play like-

138
00:04:06.894 --> 00:04:07.860
- But that's the opposite
of what most people do.

139
00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:10.050
Your brain is supersized-

140
00:04:10.050 --> 00:04:11.460
- Or broken.
- Or broken.

141
00:04:11.460 --> 00:04:13.983
- Either one. (laughing)
