02:15that really resonates with me you know i'm a london boy as well so we've got a lot of that there too
02:21and things are great man you know things are really good i've just uh i've just come back from
02:26promoting like another another thing that i've got coming out hopefully this year and uh i'm going
02:34on holiday i'm going i'm going on a little break to columbia for the next three weeks from this
02:41thursday so my mind is like halfway in the jungle already oh no it's good to be here with you as well
02:48i mean i'm i'm delighted i'm delighted that i'm here are you doing the sandals or like how are you
02:53getting ready for columbia yeah well exactly exactly it's a whole that's a whole question and
02:59it's a pretty varied country so is it going to be beach shorts or is it going to be hiking boots is it
03:03going to be bug spray or is it going to just be beach towels i don't know yet and maybe it's going
03:08to be a mix of all of those things i've got a feeling it's going to be quite a challenge to pack
03:13when i get around to it but i'm very last minute so what whatever ends up being in the bag is what
03:19i'm going to have to live with when i get out there i'm going to honestly say you're courageous
03:23because unless i'm on a resort if i'm going to be heading anywhere in the jungle in columbia
03:29there is no way i'm wearing sandals i mean there's no way my feet are going to be uncovered
03:34you may not come back with a toe yeah that's what i understand like an aunt's gonna nip one of them
03:40and take it back to his hive you've got dual citizenship if memory serves me correctly let
03:48me pull it up here and for those that are tuning in we've got actor you're a producer as well correct
03:53yeah that's right yeah i'm a podcast producer writer producer let me hit over actor
04:00jeremy newmark jones with us today uh anyone in the audience if you have a question for jeremy
04:08please present that to us we would love to answer any questions for you um you're also a resident of
04:16germany correct yeah that's right yeah i saw that so uh should i should i do the little read the let's
04:27do it yeah yeah yeah so we've got jeremy barrington sure how did you leave that out i like that oh i
04:35love it i'd include it i'd include it if i could but i think four names is too many names to put on an
04:41acting bill okay try to get it down to two all right so jeremy barrington newmark jones is an
04:48american english actor who has taken lead roles on the bbc television series the last post and on the
04:55itv drama series belgravia am i saying that right belgravia belgravia okay yeah but that's an english
05:04thing his grandparents were german jews who moved to england because of the nazi regime
05:09in 2020 he took up german citizenship so what is that like or do you have to pay taxes in germany or
05:16can you still remain like a visitor so slight correction only my mother's father my my maternal
05:24grandfather moved over my grandmother was already in the east end it doesn't say that anywhere on the
05:30on the online uh there's a large population of jews who have been in the east end of london since
05:37at least the 19th century and her family was part of that uh so she's a cockney uh is is what you'd call
05:44her but my maternal grant my maternal grandfather yeah he moved over in 1933 and then uh around the
05:53time of brexit so in 2016 obviously we were all used to in england traveling around europe uh like other
06:01europeans uh and then we knew that that was coming to an end and so started looking into the different
06:07options i'm quite lucky because i have uh quite a mixed background in terms of my heritage my father
06:14was welsh and irish barrington is like a welsh name he's called barrington jones so that's where the jones
06:21comes from in newmark jones and indeed that's where my middle name barrington comes from as well
06:26so he was irish and welsh i could have gone the irish way my brother rob robert newmark who's also
06:32an actor he went the irish way i went the german way uh and then you know obviously they were super
06:40backed up because everyone suddenly found out they had like a german grandparent or whatever
06:44especially ireland ireland was like the worst like half of the uk have one irish grandparent and that
06:49was all you need germany was a little bit stricter it was more to do with people who'd lost their
06:53citizenship because of the regime uh and so and so i applied now i don't have to pay tax i also
06:59don't i didn't have to go through a lot of the stuff that the other german citizens have to go
07:03through when they're doing their test for example i can't speak german i can speak other languages but
07:07i can't speak german but a lot of other german citizens have to take this kind of proficiency test
07:12you know to prove that they can speak the language so for me it's more like a kind of symbol of my
07:19cultural heritage and also something which i just felt was really important especially as an actor
07:24a lot of this work that i've done including the most recent film that i did which is how we came
07:28into contact with each other the world will tremble that was filmed in europe and so sometimes
07:34you have to get a visa now to work in europe but if you're a european citizen you don't have to do
07:39that you don't have a limited number of days you can be there you can work across the continent
07:43uh as a citizen of any of the countries as a member yeah i love that seriously that's awesome
07:50i mean it's great as someone who's you know only a u.s citizen i just think to myself wow i mean
07:57be kind of cool to enter into another country and be like anytime i want whether holiday or otherwise and
08:05just be able to step into another life and that's what i appreciate with you jeremy is i was thinking
08:12about this interview this morning and i was just overwhelmed with such joy because we really
08:20don't know what our lives are about until we step into someone else's or we get out of the environment
08:27we're so used to so i feel like i'm there with you right now like i don't even feel like i'm here in the
08:32states i love that about the states though you know because i feel like it's a place where
08:37last year i think it was last year my partner and i drove from tampa to la like three and a half
08:46thousand miles or whatever it is no no and it's just it's one is one of the most unique experiences
08:53you can ever have you feel like you're traveling through as many countries as there are in the
08:56european union right you're going from like panama city from the bible belt you're going into austin
09:04you're going to we went to amarillo you're going to new mexico these places are like
09:08and every single one that you stop in you're stepping into this life that you otherwise just
09:14would never have any sense of ever and it's amazing i'm thinking why i was uh chuckling a little bit is
09:21i was thinking about the midwest and uh depending on the time of year you were doing that jeremy is
09:27because the storms are brutal when we think about michigan vermont even tennessee so did you run
09:34into any hurricanes anything about to sweep you up we had we had yeah it did cross my mind that
09:41the twister twister the original right the 90s one yes like all all it all it requires us now in like
09:48our little toyota auris or whatever it was just to see like a little gray chimney on the horizon
09:54coming towards us slowly we didn't have that but what we did have what we did have was we
09:59i'm not very good at planning things and neither is my partner really and we arrived into i think it's
10:08it was san antonio it's where the alamo is isn't it i believe so but don't hold me to it right yeah
10:15south texas warm is the point yeah it was like 28 degrees celsius so i don't know what that is but
10:21it's like over i think it's 90 or like over 90 it's warm and anyway we decided that night to go
10:27to amarillo and we only had summer clothes amarillo is like north texas we got in the car
10:32it was 28 degrees celsius we got out of the car and it was minus two and there was this like which is
10:38like it's like zero it's like zero fahrenheit or something crazy like that it's like 10 fahrenheit
10:44and uh there was this wind blowing and i was like i almost had like uh frostbite and shock from
10:52the cold because it was just such an incredible change right and this is i was thinking it's the
10:56same state how much how much of a difference can it be and it was absolutely mad and we got rammed by
11:02that for like two days they had some kind of like you know there was whatever it was there was like
11:06continental snowfall further up the state above or the state above so not far away from tennessee i guess
11:11yeah you know more you avoided the most of it it was good it was good yeah i was about to say you
11:17know more about the u.s going through than i do classic thing isn't it it's the classic thing i will
11:23tell you this never unless you're adventurous or you're going to do a film i did a drive from
11:30colorado to nevada it was the scariest thing because when you are driving in those mountains
11:38if something happens you go over an embankment there's no guardrails there's nothing to stop
11:45you from going over those mountains i was like how can this exist tractor trailers are driving on
11:52these scary mountains these mountains to where there is nothing to save you oh yeah
11:59uh yeah first and last no so i lucky you i will i'm just going to put it out there and maybe i'm
12:10going to get a kick in the butt because of saying it anytime i say the word never but i will never do
12:15that people have said oh do cross country i was like you were out of your mind i'm getting on a plane
12:20i'm getting somewhere in two hours or five and i'm not dealing with having to go up mountains and
12:27terrains and having buck come out in front of me did you experience that yet having elk or anything
12:32we had we we saw some dead ones we didn't have any that like we had to swerve out of the way of
12:38luckily but yeah yeah yeah i've had that i've i've did that i'm quite i'm quite i'm i'm one of those
12:43people who likes doing it but i can completely sympathize with the reason why not but me and some
12:47friends ages ago now drove 17 years ago drove down australia and that we had like kangaroos would just
12:53come out in the middle of the road and you'd be there it's like a single lane highway that goes
12:58around the whole country and so we had a lot of that we had a lot of you know they weren't they
13:02weren't but and it felt worse because they weren't but you know they're these unique creatures that
13:06you're like you know you're you're almost going to kill yourself in order to avoid killing them
13:11kind of thing oh yeah when you were speaking about texas you felt the brutality of the humidity
13:17correct did you feel oh yeah oh my god yeah oh my god in the south yeah yeah yeah humidity here in
13:24the states whether you're in florida new york texas or even la it is different everywhere oh yeah
13:31yeah and we were in we were in uh new orleans as well oh were you which was have fun that was great
13:40i loved it i loved it if i was going to do what do you guys call it you call it a bachelor party we
13:45call it a stag dude i'm sure i'm not the first person a stag dude you know i've heard of that
13:51okay it's a bachelor party and uh yeah so we i always i was there and i was like i think i could
13:57have that here you know i feel like this is i feel like this is the kind of place where things like that
14:02happen and people come back with you know good stories or one kidney depending on the kind of time
14:09the kind of time that they have when we were chatting uh last night if i may say when you
14:14were telling me you were uh at dinner i was wondering myself hmm i was thinking myself
14:20just the vibe about you you kind of have this henry cavill vibe about you and this vibe as though
14:26there's going to be a beer involved or maybe a scotch i'm thinking god you got to be a hoot to
14:31probably have dinner with well this also that well i i don't know i don't know i mean i like
14:38this thing that we had yesterday which is like a very danish thing this is a socialist country right
14:42okay like literally it's like constitutionally a socialist country and they've got this thing
14:47where you can go and you do this like it's called like cock like a common eating would be the danish
14:52word for it you go to like a hall there's like 150 people and you pay like 10 bucks oh wow and you
14:59sit on a table with other people that you've never met before and you you eat and you you break bread
15:04with them so they they make you it's a bit kind of like church they make you stand up and introduce
15:08yourself to the people that you're eating with and then you eat and it's you know the meals the
15:12meals like relatively simple and so it's like a kind of the soup potatoes bread beans you know a beer
15:17a beer or two or a soft drink and whatever but it's great it's so great and it really yeah i think it
15:23feeds into that part of my personality which is i really like being around other people i get a lot
15:28from being around other people as well well obviously you're an introvert you're definitely
15:34kinesthetic you're i felt that as soon as i came on like your eyes just are aware you're awake
15:43you're profoundly incredible and it goes back to our our conversation is you know to look at the fact
15:50that the movies obviously the most recent the world will tremble uh the last post uh the feed
15:57one of us you've played characters or people that um where i feel that it's you're you were able
16:11to encompass who they are but obviously with the world wall tremble um you encapsulated that person
16:21so well that when i watched your interviews and to just go over some past clips of your other
16:28other reels and going over your sizzle reel i'm thinking wow this isn't jeremy in that role in the
16:36world will tremble it was not you you went somewhere else uh once again when i watched your sizzle reel
16:43i can feel pieces of you in those characters but in this film where did you go
16:49it was a very intense experience i think that was the thing that helped it you know we had like
16:5618 days overall and quite a small budget and a lot of it relied on the connection between the actors
17:04i think is basically the thing so we had not a lot of rehearsal we turned up we'd all been cast i mean
17:10you know i was on this other thing that i've got coming out this year gateway to the west i was on
17:14that while i got cast in this and so i went from that to this and you know some other people had been
17:22on other stuff or they came for a little bit of the shoot but not all of the shoot mainly it was just
17:26me and ollie jackson cohen who's my co-star on it for for the longest period of time which was all 18 days
17:32and it there was just something about it just clicked and and you know like to be to be frank
17:39with you it was a very brutal experience it was it was not like it was not like other things that
17:46i've done because and i mean that in a really good way we were treated with a lot of respect and we
17:50were treated with a lot of care but nonetheless the material is is incredibly brutal i have a personal
17:56connection to it in some way you know in more than one way i mean i i've i've i've watched that
18:02interview with michael podchlebnik years before i did the did the part in years so i felt like i had
18:09a connection to him already before i even started filming and so it just means that in those moments
18:16where you're having to go really really really far down and the camera and the cameras you know it's
18:22quite it's quite it's quite a way back or when it's there it's not very intrusive which is always
18:26like a really important thing you know you as an actor you and the cameraman you're involved in this
18:32dance together where you know they're trying to not make themselves that obvious to you but you're
18:38also trying to give enough of yourself to them while still trying staying true to the character
18:42and between those two things i think we just found this really good synergy where
18:46it became very easy if everything was very intuitive there wasn't a lot of thinking through
18:51there wasn't a lot of planning it was just we're gonna we're gonna do it and the camera you're
18:58gonna trust that the camera is gonna be there to pick you up uh and you know the director has
19:03complete faith in what you're doing and i have to say this is one of the things i loved i love tv
19:08i think the difference between tv and film film gets closer to theater which is like my true love
19:15but in tv it's it's a it's a product it's a it's a product that sell that sold for a particular brand
19:25if you're if you're watching an hbo drama the producers are hbo producers and they're going to
19:30want it to live up to the standards that hbo have which are incredibly high and it's it's incredibly
19:36high performing so i think there's a certain level that can go along with that stuff where
19:41sense of control gets into it you know we have to show this bit this is important for the story
19:47this rewrite's just come in because this is a lot better with film especially with something like
19:50this where the budget was small and the team was small you really got a sense of like we're fully
19:56fully collaborating on this you know it's you're giving all your trust to me i'm giving all of my
20:01trust to you and ultimately i think that makes a really really big difference in the final product
20:07because it makes it incredibly alive now obviously with that you're taking more of a risk because you
20:12don't know how it's going to get sold could get sold to no one people could not see it whatever
20:16but the actual process of it i think it allows you to to lose yourself a little bit more what's perfect
20:23with this jeremy is it's on apple tv and i to give credit yes apple tv is not a netflix it's not a hulu
20:32they're not out there worrying about pounding out a bunch of projects try to have this huge catalog
20:39they're strategic they're smart and i was excited to watch it on apple tv because i highly respect the
20:47quality i mean if anybody who knows apple tv apple tv does not uh take breaks or make excuses to
20:58come a couple if they are a 10 they're going to make sure they're 15 yeah yeah there's there's
21:06nothing below that so for what it's worth because of it being on apple tv because of everything you've
21:12accumulated throughout the years which obviously has been very strategic because with looking at all
21:17of your projects there is what i feel a strategicness to it and with gateway to the west what i
21:24really was surprised by was that i just recently interviewed eric roberts i saw how great serendipitous
21:33great cast um i could we say with gateway to the west you are one of the lead roles not a supporting
21:44actor like how would this be defined well i would say i'm the lead role because i have top billing
21:52nice but but it's it it's very that again is very collaborative because you've got like
22:01you know there i think the thing is to be to be level about it you have a group of incredible
22:09hungarian act hungarian actors a group of incredible mongolian actors a group of incredible english-speaking
22:17actors from america and from england and in that i think really you're looking at people who are
22:22really respected in their own fields so like the mongolian the mongolian actors some of them are
22:27for example one of them while we were doing the doing the film he won like the best international
22:33actor at some russian film awards which are apparently really big but obviously like they're completely out
22:39of our sphere they're completely out of america's sphere but you know i don't know anything about them
22:43i don't know anything about the you know the the hungarian ones either but you meet these people
22:47and they're prize-winning actors and so you think everyone's really at the top of their game
22:51um and so i i was on that was that was a longer shoot that was about 80 days and i was i was in
22:58every day of that now ray who we had who eric may have talked to you about he's an amazing actor he
23:05passed away after we'd finished oh did he yeah uh ray stevenson yeah yeah um we had him for two
23:13weeks he's he's he's he's done a lot of really impressive work i mean growing up he did this
23:19series called rome for hbo which was massive back in the day which i loved i loved i'm i'm i my
23:26education's in classics it's in latin and ancient greek and i watched i watched that i've completely
23:32completely fell in love with it but he he was very he's very he was very in demand actor at that time
23:37so we only had him for about two weeks um but i would i would say when it comes out it's going to
23:44be it's going to be me that you're going to be seeing on the posters and it's hopefully it's going
23:48to be my name that you're going to be seeing first if the uh if all goes according to plan yeah i hope
23:53so well i'm looking at the i would say i don't know if this is temporary but they've got a photo did
24:00you see the the poster of half of your face but it's a good part of half of your face i mean yeah
24:06yeah dominate the poster yeah it's beautiful i love that poster it's gorgeous yeah it's great blow it
24:14up yeah yeah yeah it's you command this is what i i i'm just enthralled if that's the right word
24:27just fascinated by you and just mesmerized that that feels appropriate to say and i don't get
24:34mesmerized by many people but you have this command i wouldn't doubt if you've lived many lifetimes or
24:40what's going on but there's this power and empowerment about you jeremy that is profound
24:46moving forward and just to emphasize this again you've done a lot of military war style films i want
24:54to see beyond that i want to see like some psychological thriller drama uh maybe a a mystery
25:04is that the direction of where you would like to go is in more sectors besides what you're currently
25:12accustomed to doing yeah yeah there's a for anyone for anyone who's interested in investing in film out
25:19there the producer of gateway to the west bill chamberlain and i are currently working on
25:25something which is a bit more of that style uh which i can't talk too much about okay but anybody
25:32wants to reach out to him chelsea pictures bill chamberlain you can get more details of that
25:36and that is much more i think it's very hard you know in england especially we have a class system
25:44right and a class system is something which is enforced like knowingly or not and one of the ways
25:51one of the ways that it's enforced for good and bad is and i think mostly bad is you know they
25:59they hear someone like me and the casting that will go period drama he's he's he's educated
26:06he's white he's going to be playing posh guys posh guys are often in the military right so especially
26:13in england you know we're talking about captains in war we're talking about people who fought at
26:17waterloo we're talking about that kind of stuff sometimes i think the problem with that and this
26:21is one of the things i like about um the world will tremble and and gateway to the west when it
26:25comes out is you lose a bit of the emotional arc because a lot of it is to do with you put you're
26:29playing the status of the character is you in relation to other people the whole point about these
26:34these men is that they don't break down and they don't show emotion and i think that can be a shame
26:40but the thing is the other stuff the you know the emotional stuff that that that everyday
26:45thriller the psychological things that can be the domain of anyone and so sometimes the casting
26:55options for that compared to some of the historical stuff it completely changes and i think i think it's
27:00progressed in a really good way i think you're seeing a lot of very diverse castings for those kind
27:07of modern projects and i think that's that's absolutely fantastic now i would be lying if i
27:12said i wouldn't like to also do that kind of stuff because something i would love to do is reflect more
27:18stories of the modern world right i think the i think the modern world is we get so much power from
27:24our everyday lived experience as much as we get from losing ourselves in something completely
27:28historical from a thousand years ago or from the second world war and all of that kind of stuff
27:33but for me for me the truth of it is it doesn't matter if you're in the middle ages or right now
27:40the point is that you're trying to play the connection between the person between one person
27:46another person and it all rests in those stakes and provided you can unlock those things all of those
27:52all of those stories have the same axis to them in my opinion right which is just the human axis
28:00i like that i'm processing of what you're telling me right now because i just i went deep with you
28:08which is telling me is there a script inside of you is there your own project that you plan on
28:16doing in the near future well i write i do write i write a lot um i'm actually i mainly write
28:24um literature so i mainly write books i don't write screen as much and i think that's only because
28:33i've read really good screenwriters and i that's not me it's not me i much prefer
28:40having the sense of utter control if i'm just left to my own for hours and i can write and write and
28:47write describe develop plot as much as i like and then pare it back i've always done it ever since
28:54i was a kid uh so i'm actually currently finishing up a draft of a book that i've been working on for
29:03about a year and a half um and yeah that is much more you do you know who elmore leonard is no not
29:10that he wrote like uh get shorty oh all right yeah and uh and rum punch which is what jackie brown
29:20the quentin tarantino film was based on he's this he's an american writer he used to be called dutch
29:25was like his uh his nickname he's from he's from detroit moved down to florida he's an incredible
29:33writer he's his books are like so easy to read if you've got if you if you want to do your beach
29:37holiday and you've got a week on the beach you can read one of his books in like a day it's
29:42incredible and the way that he writes i think is is perfect i think he's a perfect writer um
29:48and so i've been really in the last couple of years i've been really inspired by him they're
29:52capers right he writes like they're fun and for me i think that's also something i really like i like
29:58going deep but i also really see the value in humor and enjoyment and i think either you know in
30:03the world will tremble i think one of the scenes that i'm proudest of is the one after spoiler alert
30:09but it's already come out they've escaped um and they've gone through the river and one of them's
30:15been shot and the other one's hurt their leg and you just have that moment of connection between them
30:18which is like light and it's lighter than all of the stuff around it and i think bringing the light
30:25and the dark together is such a such a rewarding thing to be able to do and i think i think elmore
30:32leonard does that perfectly and that's that's that's what i'm trying to emulate with my writing
30:36to be honest i rarely watch a movie twice i actually watched again last night and i no way
30:44yes i did no lie all the way through and it is that scene where both you come out of the water
30:51and you're there and it was that connection and then when you're you have the moment of laughter
30:59and then when both of you find yourselves in that little village like and you go into the barn and
31:09just that's where you guys amalgamized together it was like wow and then when you were you took the
31:15bike that's where i feel the film really took off in those moments because that's where it just came
31:24down all of the emotion came down and we were able to just hone in on just yeah with the view
31:29and the story and the connection
31:31i completely agree i completely agree i also think that was the moment with ollie that i felt
31:41that was the first moment that i really clicked in with him because also there alone for the first
31:46time we filmed it mainly in sequence together so we were with most people at the beginning and we
31:51were the fewest people at the end and so that's really the first time that our two characters
31:55are kind of seeing one another you know and again it's such a pared back production that you you kind
32:05of really are it's just you two on a riverbank and maybe a camera kind of somewhere you know and it's
32:10i love that i love that it was it was it was an amazing experience and that water was was cold
32:16it was really cold it was really really cold i mean i'm talking it was as cold as amaryla i was
32:21talking about before 10 degrees eight degrees it was it was a runoff from a mountain stream
32:26and so we were filming in that and we were we were we were shivering by the time by the time that we
32:33finished that thing we're sopping wet we were shivering yeah and it was like march so not warm are you
32:39proud of yourself and everything you've accomplished and you're continuing continuing to accomplish even
32:43what gateway to the west jeremy are you proud of yourself yeah i've had to take i've had to take
32:49a few moments i think this year to remind myself that i i've i've been very lucky in a way that lots
32:57of actors aren't to be able to play these parts that's what i think it's one of the difficult things
33:03about the art industry is i'm talking to you about something that i did two years ago i did pretty
33:07much two years ago to the month and times have moved on since then i've done a lot of i've done a lot
33:12of plays i haven't done a lot of screen work since then partly because those two films i really wanted
33:18to see what would happen with them right and especially when you do something like that you
33:23have a sense where you think all work is great work but you want to be in a position when you have
33:30something like this coming out to be able to show it and be available to as many people as you can
33:34but like all work is great work um so i am i am proud of myself because i had those those those
33:42kind of dreams i had which are the kind of dreams that lots and lots of actors had a lot of those
33:47have been fulfilled but also the way that it is is i like i like new things i like the next thing
33:52you know because you have the challenge you're presented with it you think about it you think how
33:57am i going to get around this you spend you know four months two months one month working your way
34:03through the character and then you finish with it and then you think what's next what what am i going
34:09to do next how am i going to fill up the next six months with something that i find equally as
34:15satisfying so i am proud of myself but i find it very very hard to ever rest and and settle i find it
34:23really hard to do that so i'm more excited to see what comes next than i am proud of what's already
34:29happened or you've got columbia coming up so that's going to be your rest exactly and i would
34:34have to achieve anything there as far as i know yeah yeah we've got less than a minute any closing
