Kirk Acevedo interview
His interview's finally been posted up. BIG spoiler regarding Charlie, so....read at your own risk.
Adam Morgan: Who would win in a fight, you or Josh Jackson?
Kirk Acevedo: I don't even need to answer that. I mean, I think you guys can figure that one out on your own...
Adam Morgan: What's been your favorite scene to shoot so far?
Kirk Acevedo: I would say...the phone conversation with [our audio drops out here...can anyone decipher his answer?]
Adam Morgan: What about your favorite episode?
Kirk Acevedo: I'd have to say the Pilot.
Adam Morgan: What's it been like shooting in your hometown up in New York?
Kirk Acevedo: It's been cool. It's kind of bittersweet, because I live in Los Angeles now and I fly back and forth, so I kind of miss my family.
Adam Morgan: And how do you feel about the move to Vancouver next season?
Kirk Acevedo: I'll be closer to home. I go every weekend to see my family, my baby girl. The bad part about it is, a bunch of people are going to lose their jobs. We had a fantastic crew. Fantastic. The best crew that you can get. And I just hope that the Vancouver crew is on par.
Adam Morgan: What was it like working with your real-life wife in next week's episode, Unleashed?
Kirk Acevedo: It's cool. When I found out Charlie was going to have a wife, I suggested my actual wife Kiersten [Warren]. It's hard to create chemistry with someone you don't know, in a day. And also my wife's a real actress, it wasn't just like "Hey, how 'bout my WIFE?!"
Adam Morgan: How many different ways do people mispronounce your last name? Do you ever get "Avocado"?
Kirk Acevedo: Kirk Avacado, sure! Let's see. Ackaveedo, Ace DeVito, there's just so many.
Adam Morgan: Any funny moments or anecdotes from the set?
Kirk Acevedo: We all get along, we all crack jokes. Like Lance [Reddick] is so funny, because he'll come up to me and say "Dude, you always make me laugh." Because Lance is so serious. But he's always cracking up. Next episode, he goes up to Anna: "You always make me laugh, blah blah blah." And then you realize he's saying it to John [Noble]. And then you realize, it's just Lance. Lance has the giggles, and can't keep a straight face.
Adam Morgan: John Noble mentioned that everyone likes to do a take on Charlie's voice. Is that true?
Kirk Acevedo: Well, you know, I put on the "Charlie voice," because there's tons of exposition, and you somehow have to do the same stuff every week, right? So I'm a fast talker, and my register's a bit higher than Charlie's, as you can imagine. So when I gotta do the Charlie thing...[switches to Charlie voice] you just gotta drop it down...right about here...[back to Kirk]. You hear that? That's not the way I sound, at all. I can't do it like Kirk would do it, because it wouldn't come out as authoritative, someone you'd look up to, who you'd listen to, who's working in the best interests of your country, if I did it like me.
So I do the Charlie voice, and people...you know...like there was a line in an interrogation once, where I ask for a box of tissues. But the way I do it with Charlie is..."Can I get a box of TISSUES?" Like the Terminator, you know?
Adam Morgan: What can we expect from these last five episodes of the season?
Kirk Acevedo: Well the whole mythology of the show, we lifted up the folds more. We learn more about William Bell, which is really cool, in the last episode, who's played by Leonard Nimoy. Speaking of beautiful voices. I think he's gonna be perfect. He's a perfect foil for John Noble's character. You'll learn more about the impending war, what is it, stuff like that. We're currently shooting a standalone episode for season two...
Adam Morgan: I heard about that, before you move out of New York. Can you tell me anything about it?
Kirk Acevedo: What I'll say is it has a little bit of Ghost Whisperer in it...if you know what the ghost whisperer genre is.
Adam Morgan: Well I'm glad you don't die next week. After seeing the previews, I was a little scared...
Kirk Acevedo: No, no, no...I don't die.
So. Let's start of with the biggest reveal, shall we?
The "Box of tissues" quote seems to be real after all XD Either I haven't been watching the past episodes closely, or that's from an upcoming episode. Any way, still funny. Love that he still manages to poke fun of himself.
Hearing it in the audio, I suddenly remembered the scene now XD The wonders of Charlie's voice. XD
Okay, seriously, though. Charlie Francis DOES have a wife. *Sigh* Oh, well. It won't stop me from adoring the relationship between Olivia and Charlie. Although, I am interested in the fact that it's Kiersten Warren playing his wife. Can't wait for the episode.
I wish the interviewer asked better questions, other than the general 'favourite episode/how do you feel about the move/etc' stuff. Like, whether he still sticks by his theories regarding the show, how it's like working alongside Anna (cough).
Also, that comment about Lance Reddick made me laugh so much :P I can't really imagine that man being like that irl. Or always cracking up. Hah. Also, the "Charlie voice". I HOPE the guy puts up the audio interview up someday. I really, really would want to hear it.
[edit]
AH! I didn't know the audio had been put up.
