[Music] thank you so much hey Ellen how you doing my name's Jimmy lazinski hope you're doing well today oh thank you I am yes thank you yeah thanks for taking the time to uh swing at some of these softballs I'm going to toss at you real quick here uh first of all congratulations they just told us in the waiting room season has been announced and you're working on it currently that's that's correct we're in the middle of shooting that and it's a it's a a really good season so far uh internet lists you at uh 63 I'm going to put you at like about 240 conservatively you're a pretty big fella I'm wondering you know like currently shooting right now what how do you find time to work out and keep your physique what's your walk me through your day on set yeah um look I'll either I get it in when I can and and I have to for force the issue you know I mean I think a lot of people their livelihood doesn't depend on it so their motivation may not be as strong as mine is but I recognize that this is like very much a part of my job so for me job security looks like either going on my lunch break you know um to you know into the stunt facility and getting a workout in or getting some training in or um you know before after work like no matter how painful that is like you know I'll swing by the gym and get some time in but I mean my goal is to get something in 5 days a week and the other thing you know the kind of Life Hack like if people really want to know is you know like we we tend to look at like our physical goals through the lens of like that event that we're trying to get ready for and and usually there's never enough time it's a lot of work to get to whatever you know pro- shape that we want to be in for that event um but when you do decide to make something like your health and fitness a lifestyle and it's an everyday thing the commitment is so much less severe you know I mean I can go to the gym for 20 minutes and maybe I don't have time for like a huge monster workout today but like that 20 minutes is it adds up you know and that's over the course of that week that's a lot of time in the gym and for my body to have to adapt you know so that's really what it is it's not it's not like huge monster workouts every day it's just getting something in every day yeah I always say every every little bit adds up right oh yeah yeah uh this season uh the mystery or c that Reacher is working on is a lot more personal how would you compare that to last season how would you compare this story yeah I think there are definitely more personal stakes in the in this in the sense that the uh season two bad luck and trouble is about Reacher reuniting with members of his 110th uh the people he served with when he was active duty that he handpicked there's a level of responsibility that he feels towards these people and um for a a loner for him to care about the health and well-being of so many other people that he's working with I think really changes the stakes for him um which is something we didn't we didn't really get in margrave uh and uh aside from it's awesome and you're and you're joying working on it can you tell us anything about season three what books it's based on I can't tell you what what book it's based on we haven't announced that yet but it's um people are saying this is going to be the best season we've had yet so and you know there's we've shot quite a bit so that's promising Dynamite I mean I enjoyed this season looking forward to that one what is your favorite uh cheat day Indulgence oh chocolate chip cookies for sure cookie don't like nobody's business it's disgusting one more uh favorite U stunt sequence or uh fight scene from this season from season two I I think there was a sequence we shot in a Winer it actually somehow editorially it did not end up as a wner but we shot a wner through a warehouse that was a pretty serious fight including like long range Firepower you know hand toand combat it was like such a cool sequence and we got it in one um and somehow it didn't make I don't know how it's not in a one in the show but that is my proudest uh sequence of season two for sure that was tough to make I might know the one that you're talking about hey man that is my time right there so uh thanks so again so much for your time do me a favor enjoy the rest of the day and I'll see you on the other side okay thank you all the best thank you bat antenna deployed Atomic microphones to power P check one two testing back computer online and processing affirmative audio tapes the speed
