um and she's just a mega genius she's super intelligent and she you know got onto the arc program in any way that she could and that ended up with her on waste management but she's really happy because that means that her family gets to come and follow her to the new planet that they end up building up now speaking of which from that oh now I know the entire season is unlike in the opening five minutes but when scenes like that do happen of course I imagine you have to keep a very high level of intensity as those scenes are being shot so what's something that you two do to keep that heightened intensity as filming goes on wow um I mean with with myself uh I was I mean this is my first sort of big acting job so um that was a lot of like nervous energy uh which I sort of like uh use to fuel that like you know that high stakes like that level of um that yeah just to get that energy going um and like in between scenes I would literally just stand there and be like okay okay come on you're doing the TV show man like you could do this man and then um because I mean yeah I mean Angus is quite a uh in the first like few episodes anyway is like very very like um you know like sort of anxious and like very nervous and it's also quite you know excited as well um so yeah I just use that nervous energy and conversed it into uh acting you gotta do what you gotta do man right and same exactly very nervous very anxious yeah I'm just going like use it use it exactly yeah you gotta put it somewhere and that Stacy how would you do the same I mean for those really high intensity moments like the same you kind of use What feelings you have already but also I was just really lucky to know act with such brilliant people you know like with Ryan Christie Reese and Richard and seeing them you know act out those really high intensity moments it kind of it gets you in the mode as well and with the set as well when they put the set in that environment you feel it um but then it also depended on the type of scene like if I really needed to I'd just I'd take myself away to the side for a bit listen to some music get myself in that mode and then go back in oh God now you just said that I have to ask you is there a specific song If you two do listen to music before uh a scene like that goes what's your go-to song to listen to for that oh my God I can't actually think of a specific song oh okay I kind of try and find a song that will you know Link in with the moment I have a I have a Spotify playlist oh nice yeah that's a little something I do um because before like you know shooting going to set like just getting ready in the morning I'd like literally put my earphones in put on my Angus playlist and um and just so I don't know just like you know after waking up just sort of getting into that mindset of the character so yeah man so let's go into well not just the characters but so this looks like it's going to be a huge show just from what I have seen out if you could take your characters because the Sci-Fi sandbox is massive when it comes to for an IEP if you could plot your characters and maybe put them in a different scenario from a different sci-fi world where would you plug them into a specific world too oh that is that is a brilliant question I have two answers oh yes I have two answers um oh my memory is really doing bad here that Matt Damon film where he's like oh I know what you're talking about the Martian yes I think that would be perfect for Angus because literally he's trying to grow crops on another planet yeah so there's that but also my other answer but this is just Ryan talking I just want to be in Star Wars and I see your poster I see your poster behind you almost point to Laura the race or Ryan you know I'm I'm about I'm about Disney and Stacy I'm gonna say Star Wars is I'm a big fan but you know me personally I would love to be a doctor who get another one with Doctor Who I put her in there well Stacy Ryan thank you so much the show looks like a lot of fun and even though I just told us to Christy Richard and Reese I think I have some all the new favorite characters I'm gonna be rooting for as well as the show goes on so have a wonderful day guys thank ours out there rock on guys thank you so much mate that's a lot of fun thank you thank you so much have a good day thank you guys hit like smash subscribe and get notified for whenever reviews interviews and news go live
