00:00The thing that works is that you be you and that's the thing that people end up
00:05recognizing and falling in love with.
00:18Yep, I am your cool Sleddy Daddy.
00:30I am a Chilean, Texan, California, New Yorker. It sort of turned me into
00:43somebody who can be anywhere.
00:47Part of my earliest memories of childhood is going to the movies with my dad, literally
01:01two, three a week since I was a young kid. So that's where the fantasy kind of started.
01:17Oh wow, sorry. No, I wasn't looking. Something that's resurfaced is a lot of appearances
01:32that you've done on TV shows. Sarah Michelle Gellar posted about you being on Buffy. Sarah
01:36Michelle Gellar posted about me? Yes. I need to get on the world wide web.
01:57There's a lot of nostalgia for the moments of getting a guest starring or episodic role
02:04on some of these shows that felt life-changing or at least life-saving as far as Rent was
02:11concerned in certain instances.
02:25Did you enjoy having the most gruesome death in the history of Game of Thrones, which is
02:28saying something? It's saying a lot. I loved it. It's an honor.
02:46I think that there's a fascination to the stranger than fiction aspect of it. The human
02:51stories that can be told, the unexpected heroism and just the largeness of these kinds of stories.
02:59The other day, a guy stopped me on the street. So the guy's like, just do the Mando voice.
03:14But the Mando voice is like a bedroom voice. Without the mask, it just sounds porny.
03:29I grew up watching Nicolas Cage movies. I really did. I probably know more about Nicolas
03:50Cage than the guys that wrote the movie. I think there were even some instances where
03:54I knew more about a movie Nick made than he did.
04:08I just don't understand. Why do you make sparkly, fast, romantic montages of me every single day? Like this.
04:18Do you ever look at Instagram accounts devoted to you being a heartthrob when you're feeling down?
04:23Yes, I do.
04:42What, if anything, did you take from set?
04:46Props.
04:48Or trauma?
04:49Trauma.
04:50I mean, emotionally, I can tell you a lot of things that I took. But physically, I don't
04:55think I took any props.
04:56You didn't steal anything?
04:57No. I really want a knife.
04:59I didn't take anything. Some gray hair.
05:02This is natural now.
05:03I've never seen a career like this.
05:04I have nothing to do with it.
05:06Yes, you do! How do you pick shows that are going to be giant hits?
05:09The door opens and you're like, no way.
