00:00Congratulations on this. What did you think when you first read these scripts?
00:05Oh I thought it's different than other scripts I have read from abroad. Mike
00:13really understand my culture and he's trying to compromise between the world
00:22and Thailand so it's really a great opportunity to to let the world know
00:30Thailand through this series. Are you kind of giving the cast tips on on being
00:35there for months and months and and you know things to do? Oh yeah yeah but I was
00:41surprised you know because like Kun Scott Glenn he's an elderly star you
00:52know in the past and he's more like a macho playing fighting things and all
00:59the time I see him practicing his martial arts and he's about 80 and he
01:05asked me where he can learn martial arts in Thailand and I thought this is nice
01:13because it's I mean these are real professional people that they're serious
01:20about what they're doing you know and we should learn from that and so so I get
01:26to know American professional actors and actresses and very proud you know to be
01:36in the same industry and and I learned a lot from them.
