CAMERA CREW FOR NORWEGIAN ENTERTAINMENT SHOWS, WHAT WAS
THAT LIKE? WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE?
>> YEAH, NO, THAT IS WHERE I MET MY COWRITING THAT I AM NOW
CONOMINATED WITH FOR THE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY, WELL, YOU
KNOW, THAT WAS MY JOB. I WAS A CABLE BASHER WHICH MEANS
YOU KNOW I WALKED OUT OF LATE NIGHT SHOWS, SO THE KASM RASS
WOULDN'T DRIVE ACROSS THE CORD AND GET STUCK.
CRAZY TIMES BEING BEHIND THE CAMERA ON LIVE TV.
>> James: IT WAS LIVE. >> YEAH, NO, LIVE ON SATURDAY
NIGHT, USUALLY, THERE WAS A SHOW WHERE THEY WOULD CALL UP WITH
NORWAY T IS A SMALL COUNTRY SO THEY WOULD DO THIS THING ABOUT
PEOPLE COMING IN, SHOWING INVENTIONS, AND MAYBE THE
GOVERNMENT WOULD INVEST IN THOSE INVENTIONS, BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD
MADE, VERY SIM PATHETIC, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN KEY SYSTEM FOR
BLIND PEOPLE SO THEY REQUEST FIT INTO, NICE THINGS, SUDDENLY ONE
NIGHT THERE WAS THIS GIERKS THAT CAME AROUND AND WE SWRAI PROBLEM
IN NORWAY THAT ALONG THE TRAIN TRACKS AROUND THE KRIRKS MOOSE

FUNNY SOW JUST OH, LET'S SMELL THIS THING.
I WOULD WAS BEHIND THE CAM RAND AT FIRST WAVE OF SMELL HIT ME
AND I ALMOST VOMITED. ALL THE CAMERA PEOPLE, YOU
SHOULD HAVE SEEN THEIR EYES, THEY HAD TO SMUGGLE ALL OF THE
AUDIENCE OUT, OLD PEOPLE WERE FALLING DOWN WITH HEART ATTACKS
AND WE WERE TRYING TO PICK THEM UP.
>> >> James: SO WHEN YOU WORKED
AND A CREW WAS THERE EVER A TIME WHEN YOU FELT COMFORTABLE ENOUGH
IN THE ENVIRONMENT YOU WERE WORKINGS TO WEAR A T-SHIRT THAT

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE SEEN PETE HERE.
>> YEAH. NOW ADAM, CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR BRILLIANT SHOW SEVERANCE, INKRIDDABLE REVIEWS, PEOPLE ARE
ABSOLUTELY LOVING THE SLOW. FOR ANYONE O WHO HASN'T CAUGHT
IT YET, EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY.
>> SURE, THE SHOW TAKES PLACE IN A WORLD WHERE IN IS A PIECE OF
TECHNOLOGY THAT YOU CAN GET INSERTED INTO YOUR BRAIN.
WHERE AFTER YOU GET THIS PROCEDURE DONE WHEN YOU GO TO
WORK, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
ONCE YOU CROSS THE THRESHHOLD OF YOUR JOB, AUTOMATICALLY YOU
FORGET ALL OF YOUR MEMORIES IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
WHEN YOU LEAVE WORK AND GO HOME, CROSS THAT THRESHHOLD AGAIN,
IT'S ACTIVATEDDED, YOU HAVE NO MEMORIES OF WHAT YOU DID AT
WORK. YOU ARE ONLY IN YOUR OUTSIDE
WORLD. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR JOB IS.
SO YOU HAVE THESE TWO SEPARATE LIVES SO YOU CAN FOCUS ON YOUR
PERSONAL LIFE, ENJOY YOUR LIFE, YOU CAN FOCUS ON YOUR JOB
COMPLETELY AND JUST DO YOUR JOB AS WELL AS POSSIBLE AND SO MY
CHARACTER MARK HAS HAD THIS DONG AND BECAUSE HE LOST HIS WIFE IN
THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND HE IS JUST TRYING TO ESCAPE THE PAIN OF
THAT, BY SWITCHING OFF FOR TEN HOURS A DAY OR WHATEVER, THAT IS
KIND EVERYWHERE THE STORY STARTS.
>> IT IS A BILL YANT SHOW WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY CAST, DIRECTED
BY BEN STILLER, YOU WORKED WITH CHRISTOPHER WALKER AND JOHN
TURTURRO WHO ARE TWO OF ANYBODY'S ABSOLUTE GREATS.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE WORKING WITH THEM?
WHAT IS IT LIKE YOUR FIRST DAY? ARE YOU NERVOUS?
ARE YOU NERVOUS AROUND ACTORS LIKE THAT?
>> I WAS, CUZ YOU KNOW, WE HAD BEEN WAITING MONTHS AND MONTHS
TO START AND FINALLY MY FIRST DAY WITH JOHN TURTURRO AND
CHRISTOPHER WALKEN WAS IN FRONT OF ME.
IT WAS THE NEXT DAY. AND I WAS-- I MEAN THESE ARE
PROFOUND HEROES OF MINE. >> James: YEAH.
>> AND I'M SO EXCITED, I CAN'T REALLY GET TO SLEEP.
I FINALLY GET TO SLEEP AROUND 2 A.M., GETTING PICKED UP AT 5:30.
NOT GOING TO GET MUCH SLEEP BUT WHATEVER, IT IS GOING TO BE AN
EXCITING DAY. I NEED TO WAKE UP AT LET'S SAY
4:45 TO GET PICKED UP AT 5:30, I WAKE UP AND IT'S 8 A.M.
>> James: STOP. >> I WAKE UP BECAUSE THEY'RE
POUNDING ON MY DOOR. SOMEONE HAS HAD THE TIME TO
DRIVE FROM THE SET WHICH IS 40 MINUTE AS WAY TO COME DOWN TO
MANUALLY WAKE ME UP. AND I'M RUNNING AROUND MY APARTMENT,
LIKE A NIGHTMARE. >> James: YES.
>> RUNNING AROUND MY APARTMENT, GETTING STUFF, GETTING DRESSED,
CRYING. LIKE I AM TEN YEARS OLD AND I'M
IN TROUBLE. IT WAS THE WORST, THANKS.
SERIOUSLY CUZ IT STILL GIVES ME-- DPSH I'M STARTING TO SWEAT
RIGHT NOW THINK BEING IT. SO I GOT TO WORK.
AND THIS BIG DAY I WAS EXCITED FOR, THE FIRST THING I HAD TO DO
WAS GO AND PERSONALLY APOLOGIZE TO JOHN TURTURRO AND CHRISTOPHER
WALKEN AND BEG THEIR-- THEY WERE COOL AND EVERYTHING.
>> James: YOUR FIRST DAY, YOU ARE THREE WEEKS IN, PEOPLE KNOW
IT IS NOT YOUR NATURE, THE FIRST DAY.
>> THIS GUY IS LIKE-- . >> James: OH GOD, I WAS IN A
PLAY IN NEW YORK ONCE WITH THE-- BOYS AND I FELL ASLEEP
BEHIND THE STAGE CUZ I WASN'T IN THE FIRST SCENE.
>> SURE. >> James: OF ACT TWO AND ACT
TWO WOULD ALWAYS START WITH THIS VERY LOUD MUSIC THAT WOULD
GO-- AND YOU COULD NEVER SLEEP THROUGH IT.
>> YEAH. >> James: UNTIL I SLEPT
THROUGH IT, AND I WOKE UP TO HEAR SOMEONE ELSE SAYING MY
LINES ON STAGE. >> NO.
>> James: BUT IT WASN'T DAY ONE, THIS IS SHOW 420, AND I
WENT LIKE THIS, I WENT-- AW [BLEEP].
