00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:02.310
(whimsical music)

2
00:00:02.310 --> 00:00:04.650
- [Interviewer] What did you
know about the "Fallout" series

3
00:00:04.650 --> 00:00:06.150
before going out for this role?

4
00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:09.480
- I knew a lot about the game
and the world of the game,

5
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:13.620
having played "Fallout"
for many, many years

6
00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:16.080
and sort of being obsessed with "Fallout".

7
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:20.250
So I was excited to dive
in to whatever world

8
00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:22.957
those people were making
based on that game.

9
00:00:22.957 --> 00:00:25.560
"New Vegas", really incredible.

10
00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:29.160
Four incredible, one of my
best friends, Leslie and I,

11
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:30.780
really went in on it together.

12
00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:35.460
And we just put in a lot of hours.

13
00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:37.980
You know, just a lot of hours.

14
00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:39.720
The exploration is really endless.

15
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:41.670
The world is really deep.

16
00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:45.750
And the kind of feeling
of isolation that you get,

17
00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:49.920
the solitude that that game can
kinda create for the player.

18
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:51.150
I don't know, I feel
like it generates a lot

19
00:00:51.150 --> 00:00:52.710
of meaning for a lot of people.

20
00:00:52.710 --> 00:00:55.620
The sense of being a lone
individual in the wild,

21
00:00:55.620 --> 00:00:58.650
it just does that really intensely.

22
00:00:58.650 --> 00:01:02.250
And I don't know, I have
a lot of I just feel

23
00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:05.460
a really deep connection to
that game and those experiences

24
00:01:05.460 --> 00:01:07.680
and those hours put in, you know.

25
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.210
- [Interviewer] Your
character, Bud Askins,

26
00:01:09.210 --> 00:01:11.220
they're new to the "Fallout" lore.

27
00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:12.810
What can you tell us about Bud?

28
00:01:12.810 --> 00:01:15.150
Like, how do you feel like they
fit into Fallout's universe?

29
00:01:15.150 --> 00:01:16.950
What new might they bring to the table?

30
00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:20.700
- You know, like a lot
of things in the series,

31
00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:24.450
he's sort of drawn from
characters that showed up

32
00:01:24.450 --> 00:01:27.840
in the game, drawn from
other people in that world.

33
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:29.910
He's not directly lifted from the game

34
00:01:29.910 --> 00:01:32.910
but based on those archetypes.

35
00:01:32.910 --> 00:01:35.850
So I think he will feel familiar

36
00:01:35.850 --> 00:01:37.320
to people who played the game.

37
00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:41.340
He's invented anew for the series.

38
00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:42.760
- [Interviewer] What video game character

39
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.800
do you identify with the most?
- The most?

40
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:49.170
Luigi. I feel a strong
connection to Luigi.

41
00:01:49.170 --> 00:01:51.630
I think like a lot of us, I think Luigi

42
00:01:51.630 --> 00:01:55.980
is kind of the low-key
everyman in their universe.

43
00:01:55.980 --> 00:01:57.150
Even though, you know,
like Mario's the guy

44
00:01:57.150 --> 00:02:01.020
but I feel like everyone
can relate to Luigi

45
00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:03.480
and I always gravitated towards him.

46
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:04.680
I like "Luigi's Mansion" a lot.

47
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.780
I'm sort of playing through
that again right now.

48
00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:08.610
He gets the job done.

49
00:02:08.610 --> 00:02:11.610
I like how scared he is, you know?

50
00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:14.100
I like his bravery. I like him.

51
00:02:14.100 --> 00:02:15.656
I just like him so much.

52
00:02:15.656 --> 00:02:17.460
- Wah.

53
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:18.600
- [Interviewer] Why don't
you tell me about your play.

54
00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:19.687
What's "Appropriate" about?

55
00:02:19.687 --> 00:02:23.130
- "Appropriate" is about a family.

56
00:02:23.130 --> 00:02:26.400
The father dies and the
siblings, the children,

57
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.730
the three children have to
come home to their father's

58
00:02:29.730 --> 00:02:32.850
sort of childhood estate in Arkansas

59
00:02:32.850 --> 00:02:37.470
to settle his affairs and
like sort through his estate

60
00:02:37.470 --> 00:02:41.400
and go through his stuff
and reconcile themselves

61
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.940
to the things that they discover

62
00:02:44.940 --> 00:02:47.640
in that process about their own family,

63
00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:51.210
about him, about themselves,
and about each other.

64
00:02:51.210 --> 00:02:53.760
Appropriate's at the
Belasco Theatre on Broadway

65
00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:56.880
and you can see it right
now through the end of June,

66
00:02:56.880 --> 00:02:59.310
through like June 23rd.

67
00:02:59.310 --> 00:03:01.080
And "Fallout" will be out on April 11th

68
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:02.553
on Amazon Prime Video.
