0:14
I am thrilled to be sitting in this chair with you, my friend. Thank you. Me too, man
0:17
How does it feel? It feels great. It's a win for the whole play, Best Revival
0:25
I feel it's a win for Lawrence, Darren and Neil and I
0:30
we worked really hard yeah being back on stage again in New York
0:38
on a stage, what that means to you it means a lot
0:41
and especially after the pandemic kind of coming back is really it's even more of an event
0:49
I feel like it's more of a big deal is this the first Tonys
0:54
since the pandemic yeah so it's a big deal I think it's a big deal yeah
0:58
being at Circle in the Square you're so close to the audience
1:03
it's gotta be so great we feel like we're in that shop with you and I was wondering what that like for you having the audience so close to you it very interesting you can see people when they take their masks off You can see them when they have their phones on It startling and interesting
1:19
Yeah, yeah. So, yeah. And just the three of you together up there, what you love as this brotherhood that three
1:27
of you have. Rehearsing with Neil Pepe in that room and now being on stage together, the three of
1:32
you, what it means. It's really exciting. I, I, uh, we were just, uh, we feel so lucky to be there
1:41
I think we have a lot of appreciation for being there. It's a big deal
1:45
Yeah. Yeah. And because of your celebrity from film and everything else, many people will probably
1:51
be coming to the theater for the first time. What that means to you, there were so many young kids who had never been to a show before
1:56
the night I was there. And you introduced them to the theater. What that means to you? It's great
2:00
I mean, I think Darren and Lawrence and I have a big, uh, a nice following and it's nice
2:05
to get people asses in seats, you know? It's really nice. You always come back to the theater, just tell me why
2:12
I think I come back because it's really, you sort of find out what you're made of as an actor
2:20
It's kind of a gymnasium for actors
