WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:01.560
- Hey doing, my name is Ilan Noel

2
00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:03.330
and this is, that's so random.

3
00:00:08.670 --> 00:00:12.300
- So you play a police officer
in the new Apple TV plus

4
00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:13.830
series Lady in the Lake.

5
00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:17.700
Tell us a little bit about your
role and what we can expect.

6
00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:21.930
- Yeah, I play a police officer's
name is Furie Furie Platt.

7
00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:25.500
And yeah, it's 1960s Baltimore.

8
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:30.185
So, you know, being a cop is not the most,

9
00:00:30.185 --> 00:00:32.760
doesn't make him the most
popular person in this community.

10
00:00:33.725 --> 00:00:36.480
And also being a good cop in
this particular vision doesn't

11
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:39.090
make him the most popular cop at work.

12
00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:41.040
So he's a bit of a outcast.

13
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:42.870
- The story takes place in the sixties,

14
00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:44.430
which you weren't around then.

15
00:00:44.430 --> 00:00:46.380
Yeah. But you definitely looked the park.

16
00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:49.050
What else did you have to do
to kind of get into character?

17
00:00:49.050 --> 00:00:53.610
- I sat and I listened to
sixties music for a while.

18
00:00:54.750 --> 00:00:57.540
I grew up with some sideburns,
homegrown, which were

19
00:00:57.540 --> 00:00:58.540
- Very good by
- The way.

20
00:00:58.540 --> 00:01:03.030
Organic, you know,
pasture raised sideburns

21
00:01:03.030 --> 00:01:06.060
that I wore for seven months
and I think that helped a lot.

22
00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:08.640
- What attracted you to
this role specifically?

23
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.680
- My collaborators. You know,

24
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.870
I've been a big fan of Alma Harrell.

25
00:01:12.870 --> 00:01:14.250
I like what she's done in the past.

26
00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:16.590
I was a big fan of her movie Honeyboy

27
00:01:16.590 --> 00:01:21.240
and I knew that she would make set

28
00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:25.560
feel like a playground, which,
you know, came to fruition.

29
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.810
I think she's incredible.

30
00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:30.540
And then, you know, my fellow
class castmates, I knew I had,

31
00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:33.690
I had, I didn't get to spend too much time

32
00:01:33.690 --> 00:01:35.910
with Moses Ingram, who plays Cleo,

33
00:01:36.990 --> 00:01:38.340
but I'm a big fan of hers.

34
00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:41.765
But then of course, Natalie,
who plays Maddy, I got

35
00:01:41.765 --> 00:01:43.710
to be in most of my scenes with her.

36
00:01:43.710 --> 00:01:46.230
So, you know, you get to work with a actor

37
00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:48.870
that you are so fond of.
It's a dream come true.

38
00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:50.790
- Absolutely. So you
mentioned Natalie Portman.

39
00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:52.350
Did you learn anything about working

40
00:01:52.350 --> 00:01:53.350
- With her?

41
00:01:53.350 --> 00:01:54.183
I mean, she's just aspirational

42
00:01:54.183 --> 00:01:57.000
because she's clearly extremely talented.

43
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.040
She's had this illustrious career,

44
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.515
but once the camera cuts,
she is as kind as intelligent

45
00:02:03.515 --> 00:02:07.290
and as collaborative as
anybody that I've ever

46
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.260
been fortunate enough to work with.

47
00:02:10.260 --> 00:02:14.250
So I I, I just liked the fact
that she was just, you know,

48
00:02:14.250 --> 00:02:16.685
they say don't meet your
heroes, but I met one

49
00:02:16.685 --> 00:02:19.590
and it turned out to
work out pretty well. So,

50
00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:23.100
- So insecure fans will
recognize you from your role

51
00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:24.405
as Daniel, which is one

52
00:02:24.405 --> 00:02:26.940
of the Issa's Mini loves in the show.

53
00:02:26.940 --> 00:02:30.000
What was it like being part
of such a groundbreaking show?

54
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.790
- Yeah, I mean, speaking

55
00:02:32.790 --> 00:02:37.620
of heroes like Issa Issa Ray is, she's,

56
00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:39.300
she's one of the greatest
of all times too.

57
00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:43.350
And funny enough, I got casted
in Insecure around the time

58
00:02:43.350 --> 00:02:45.240
that I first moved out to la.

59
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.760
So the lot of the first time
I was in a lot of the places

60
00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:51.660
that we shot was, you know,
a part of my introduction

61
00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:53.250
to LA on this show.

62
00:02:53.250 --> 00:02:55.380
That's a hit that's with black people

63
00:02:55.380 --> 00:02:59.560
and showing us in a, in a
nuanced way, it really just made

64
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:04.420
for like a dream scape scenario
of being ushered into, into

65
00:03:04.420 --> 00:03:07.180
what it's like to be a part of la.

66
00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:10.840
- Is there something we'd be
surprised to learn about you?

67
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.506
- I have two chihuahuas and
I think that's surprising.

68
00:03:14.506 --> 00:03:16.540
That is a surprise and
that's a surprising thing.

69
00:03:16.540 --> 00:03:19.600
For some reason, I guess I
miscast as a chihuahua owner.

70
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:21.310
- So one last question.

71
00:03:21.310 --> 00:03:24.130
Can you tell us in five
words why we should check

72
00:03:24.130 --> 00:03:25.720
out a lady and the Lady

73
00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:29.290
- For Female led

74
00:03:29.290 --> 00:03:31.450
fantastic performances?

75
00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:34.473
Yeah.
