I I wouldn't call myself a great impressionist no I would say a decent one yeah I'm gonna show you should say my my little brother buddy I mean that is a guy who could do anybody well this movie that is coming out now next Reagan yes you know so that's a character when you when you decide to take on a project of somebody of note of somebody who has been heard at nauseum you know like we know what he sounds like that was a big deal I didn't want it to be an impression or an impersonation I mean it as a good I believe you I I I I I hear what you're saying and I think impressionist is an impersonate impersonation is a it's not as good as big an impression what am I listening to when I see something from your movie Reagan is that an imp it's a just a I just I didn't want to just do an impersonation and just do the voice I wanted it to be wanted to be organic so I just basic talked that way for about you know 3 months and that's even at home well it just came up you know you start talking and uh that's amazing yeah so is it difference between impersonation and acting embodying the person that you're going to be as oppos to voice I guess the question is what would I do if I were this person in this situation just I'm going to play you can't get away from from yourself I'm going to play the trailer can I play the trailer for a second sure please do yeah cuz I want people to hear it and see it if you're watching on YouTube you can see it if you're watching the movie is Reagan and it is a a slice of a specific time in the uh Cold War yes right so let's just play the trailer I call upon the scientific Community those who gave us nuclear weapons to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace to build this defensive missile Shield rendering these weapons impotent and obsolete 50% across the board reduction all weapons groups tactical INF ICBM in exchange suspension of your Strategic Defense Initiative Star Wars some refer to it and that sounds good and look gu what the guy who played gorbachov that was not makeup on his on on his top of his head it just happed birth remember re yeah yeah no he had that birth had that same thing he did too no yes how do you actor wanted with birth mark I I don't know just happened that way he walked in and he got the partless are you kidding me yeah is he bald or did they shave his head no he was bald that was him can I ask if you embody that character and you become that character for months and months on end even before filming so that you're prepared for it is it hard to then get out of that character because I see people like Austin Butler who then take on the voice of Elvis and can't get rid of it is that something that's difficult for you I learned a long time ago uh to leave it when I get home you know when I go home just leave it all there uh you yeah but doesn't your wife want isn't it fun for her to do the president to become Nancy with Ronnie maybe with somebody else yeah she might have a better time that's you did that movie for HBO you know who that is yeah but uh it's you I learned how to leave it at home a long way back actually with Jerry Lee Lewis that's when I learned to maybe not take home with because that's how I wound up in cocaine school was uh that movie really yeah so the movie's Great Balls of Fire yes you're playing Jerry Lee Lewis yes you hadn't done cocaine oh no I I had a year to prepare for the role and I was on cocaine so you know playing piano you know just sat at the piano for 12 hours so uh but uh it just he his lifestyle was like out there man and I guess I got really far into it I realized that needed to kind of like take care of me wow after that wow so that's that kind of answers your question about the ability to leave a character you you you didn't you you had twins after one of your your characters too what what I after Parent Trap Parent Trap yes when so it doesn't seem like you're leaving it you're leaving it on set it seems like you're coming home and then continuing to embody that character wow there you have it
