So, I’m very grateful that I got to be a part of this journey.

I love hearing that!

It’s set in the 80s, first of all, which was awesome.

I got to research more.

I found out that a lot of people wore really baggy jeans, and I love that.

So I’m very grateful.

Hal is this shy, timid, bullied kid, and Bill is cocky, overconfident, overreaching.

He’s trying to compensate.

He’s always out there.

So, they’re totally opposite characters.

I’m very grateful that I got to be able to do that.

So that’s you getting into their headspace.

We were also collaborating, like, Why do we move the hand?

When do we pick up the object?

Unless they’re completely identical.

Then, there you go.

Then you have an easy job to do, and you go kill it.

I obviously have to carve out a little time to talk about working with Tatiana.

I think the world of her, and I always love highlighting the value of a good scene partner.

Can you give me an example of a time when she was just the scene partner you needed?

CONVERY: Well, first of all, Tatiana is outstanding.

She’s such a kind soul.

She is the epitome of talented.

Referring back to the last question, playing twins, she is the absolute epitome of that.

So, having her there was great.

She was my scene partner.

She was like, Yeah, just do this!

The Monkey

Let’s get into it.

After a while, we were just sending it.

We were in the zone.

We were just dancing our hearts out.

I think Tatiana is so supportive.

She’s definitely a positive role model for any actor out there.

Youve got to look up to her.

She is one of a kind.

CONVERY: I haven’t watched it, but I definitely should.

Tatiana, if you’re watching this, you’re amazing.
