Have that moment we like this is it. This is over. It happened.

So that's pretty monumental moment in Napa about a few records at a through a store gave an antique. He kind of you know upscale for a store. run by three Ladys. It seems like middle age, Ladys that bunch records right try by right by like five records, bring up to the counter one of India, is tat, got it might. So what do we do now like? Well, Ah, My god he's someone else's records? Yes, she's! Not here, maybe your name, Jenny. I don't know. And I'm like okay. So what do you want to do? I kind of want to buy this Mary Mccaslin record that way, up on discards to reassure nineteen, sixty nine record them came out nineteen, eighty with a different title. I looked it up. dear. I knew what the price was, the highest price paid on discards with ten bucks. This Well, maybe we should call Jenny, my guy right, so

the call Jenny and they, a siege, I'm standing there. I don't have all a black more time than I should give them their early. and then, when the other woman says I don't have Jenny, we can get her. That way. Did anyone text her cuz I'ma, don't think I think we have to text her from the Ipad. Send this becoming a group effort, this much technology involved to try to get hold of Jenny, to figure out the price of a record high, no tops out at ten bucks just given them twenty in, but not enough you wouldn't believe me, then she checksum Master with one of the Ladys said I it sixteen dollars and unlike there's no way to sixteen hours again, just paid and got out I got one can track down Jenny and then some other woman from across the room goes. I just got all the Tommy, whose Tommy what Tommy is sometimes they're kind of boyfriend girl from big easy, like he sort of gender boyfriend and maybe he can find her and I make this is really something this is gonna some time in the ones?

We, then find Jenny any to prices record. We ve got it maybe shifts our policy around some of these refugees. We got a double check, their records and advice he Tommy. I guess it gets hold a genuine. And the woman who is talking. initially about sixteen hours as well. It's eight hours, I guess you're right. I guess I was, I guess there was. What a day glad You have to stay the extra day to her to wait the price of the Merrimac Ass on record. So Andy Garcia. Intimidated by he's not that intimidating. Maybe he is he probably his bag and feel it. He was ready to talk. You seem to be a. seem to be into it

his daughter. This sometimes happens. If that is the offspring, kids are a fan of a show and they talked dad's indicator the moms. So I think understanding is his daughter, the actress one of them like this podcast She got there. She got the old man to to make an exception. basically, it not doing much press life to do my pie? Gaza was an honor. The film is in that days out, promoting is called the big gold break its in theaters and undermine this Friday February. Twenty fifth, this is me talking two Andy Garcia. Thanks for coming out, I watch it. The movie, the big brick

I don't know. Maybe you I gotta watch movies erewhile, it's someone somewhere There comes along like how do you make a decision, because your great told things kind of interesting but its it odd movie, is a very odd movie stars, up another. You did the edges sort of like the its group, the gums view and well ask rise, acquiesce in the film playing the soya hawked Strangelove territory at the end, and these the good friends without direct or by pet cells, the several shorts together. They got a lot of attention and silky, so he and had already say I'm doing this thing that I'm also producing and Brian, and I would love for you to take a look at it. Tat is character Floyd, so I read it and because he knows Oscars a friend I respect today, cities a great actor fear. I read it and I call them. I said I have. I have no idea what this is.

I said I don't. I don't like. I couldn't get a Handle Edna character, as I was really have sometimes get hooked dignity. I kind of Eu Data, you you have that for experience in the red yeah. I got to see yourself right or the stand that somehow or at least be touched. You know some. Such touches. You that you got. You say I don't know this case. It was like a clue, so we talk a little bit. I think it's like and I think gets this axis. I gotta go like yeah man, that's it that's it now. Are you sure you anyway, I started talking to the director and there was a safe they unless you're Finally, I say what you know The thing is that you have to do it in order to understand who he isn't gonna, throw you.

Went to it than that. Basically, what I did well yeah, but what were the things that you think this is like one yet Lenny. First, got a handle on that guy, who is sort of inside of you com, a con man or or again. So what was it that? What was the handle to the guy that you just started to realize? Well below? it seems, as I reflect back onto the EP in a while. We recognise that I did it. You can't of UNICEF, Sanford Meissner used to say you know, live lived fully within imaginary circumstances here so, first of all, you got except yourself as the guy right and you had to step into the situation as the guys to accept. I I am is due to have to deal with here. What's going down everything that comes your way

daily with it. You know the idea and so that some of them important thing in any character. You after really accept your so that it sort of funny the confidence and the guy, but also that this strange sort of vulnerability to the guy that he cares about this kid yeah that he hit with the car yeah. But there's a but there's boundary see another something it was. It was kind of endearing the whole thing yet, while he you know it at the end of their guest at the overall sort of metaphor, earth or underlying current of the obvious that this chance and by maiden hitting this kid air with a card I take them into. My home happens to be a writer, so I figure, as you know, my characters well? Why did you write my biography that I've been I'm going to make up all right, I'm going to make up my life and you're going to write about it, but maybe we'll make some money yeah yeah, with the traffic, the trappings of your life, become very interesting like right out of the gate. It's like the hell is this guy, so yeah I thought was good Meissner. Did you study with that guy, not with our

Where'd you come from to what was the right before here when I in Florida, in college, in Florida, Florida international scene, all four year end you for your folks were from Cuba. Yes, we came in sixty one. So after the debacle, we were on the Castro for two and a half years. We got lucky, we gotta. So how old were you there? Five and a half? So this must be a story in your family of what happened the history of you has

is involved with being pushed out a Cuba. I would we are talking today. If I didn't get out here, what would you was what was your father's disposition around it around Cuban? they are what we wanted to get out. You know nothing wants to leave the country they love.

Tenaya first year the here and they they they read the kitchen. She has look I'm aware that doing a movie in Miami Kurt Russell unmarried Hemingway call the mean season. You should look to that goes. Maybe there's a part in there for you, you know no gang members, it MA am easier, but this Cuban seen yet so I said again to her.

So what was how bash be like he just encouraging? Oh yeah, completely guardian. You great he's made a gleam of easy oil, amazing that a lot of human gray, human behavior lotta resonate. Yet it is because of that approach. You know, he's thing is that you have an objective to the scene and you get from take to take. You can go out from different so long as you achieve the objective ended story continues to be told how cases I use their, how you got them didn't care. You got there, never pass judgement on anything. You did for Georgia you're fly by the city or pansy S there, so he would never say like I didn't. That's not you know. No! He never he just go to go up by was and we got try some mouse and walk away and if he was really enthused, if something happened, you go like go again, but he never never put that the the judgment in your head so you're always free like someone was like gonna catch you in Britain.

that's great- I get it. I wonder if he always work idea do a research with other people work with them and John Voight Richer Bradford. You see it, performance. Is all the way back from like the last detail, ass, it has to be asked, and you see Jack so free and that movie right yeah being there, the being there's the gray. My rose outtakes it at the end of being that he told me that you know he told the story that, because I is brave. Being there to me was once a masterpiece of my driver, the idea Peter sellers of you know another world guys, I grew up with in the sixties, all the way through the air, and he said I said that script felt like Shakespeare euros will precise is his own or no one Peter would come but stuff. You know he says you know people all the costs. With just see the improvised.

Yes, the boys walls. That's all improvised, So I guess somebody get fired so good online backward ridable, incredible film? I encourage everybody has never seen that movie to go there. I watch any ending was new ending the thing about you know walking in the water that sets a tag he put on air. Based on that story, he told me the wit, Rob Bobby Jones. The writer was because he could do anything he could have walked on water. They would about it right. They thought That's what I'm gonna do. I went back and shot that. Why not good tag? Oh, my god is a great show when so then, after that, the untouched. both happens in that's like that's. I think that's when I first remember like that was

I got a lot of attention with this crazy character than that movie because he was a in IRAN, today I gotta watch it he's a Coquette drug dealer area. You know, a full young, thug kind of guy in and tagging. So they got a lot of attention and what did? What? Were you saying about? How loosen the movie heating get to finished a movie? No, he they took it away from him because he he wanted to finish. Later he laid the movie. It was a wonderful split rights like Foreign rice were sold in Colombia was and then deliver the movie in the house that I'm delivered about data anymore cuz we had and they basically took the money vanished. they hired. An editor does show is already shot, those already shot, but he they pull the plug. So we had get like ten days. Or in four days and do you like the movie? I do.

I had all these built up in said aunt stating that I saw the guys I wouldn't like many actors, so maybe people, but I probably said I wanna, be I want to do that. What I want to do with my life here and that without was the The template I want to try to aspire to be. Do that kind of work and to be in that kind of film? I do know how to do it, but that's my aspiration so how to come about.

Well, I had been working with Paramount for while made on them, and I was doing internal Fares are behind like halfway through shooting the movie saga. Watching daily. Do you know AIR France My Crusoe Senior, whose b is like a second father to me To this day is coming over dinner and his wife tonight, oh yeah he's my second fathers likely and what were you aware?

Yet I Sandia that takes over the You know they gave the family it so it was kind of like a real rumbling and he said get a play. I'd like to talk to France's about you play Vincent, so I was like this choice. You know, and I said, let me check my schedule going right here. Right now, no said diamond Umegae. So then it became a process of you know getting you know getting the party took. It took four mate to labour day week and I got the barred done Saturday. I will. it was the last person to screen test. I was trying to bring to met France's once in that period of months. What was that, like the great yeah we talked in these, as I saw you in intolerable here.

the other one laptop per year like one of the first IBM laptops IA, and he talk to me a little bit in any kind. I go to the laptop and he type some stuff up. and then he keep talking. Very sweet surprises like if you had your your ultimate Dar mentor ethics, no area and a teacher philosopher he would be the mould of youth. That person is created in your mind here becomes Rio that so that president no kidneys, so it is sexual, how we approaches the art form and dinner, knowledge that he spills out of him out in an arrogant way, just by you know he loves young people, he loves teaching you know how I got is I got it there's a lot of great directors in Mount Olympus erect sturdier. But if I had pick a Zeus here. That's the guy I'll, tell you my Zeus kid, and yet so again, and in that way- a collaborative vibe is, is what happens on said

you just you know I was in office- I got a chance to I had I finally got did the as well as the last guy in here. and I did a screen as with Madeline stole was greatly that she for for the younger over Sophie's Volvo's part.

The audition me better than I area and the next morning phone call setting yourself, you got the part and you need to fly back I got bigger starting this Monday. They change your mind, getting one. I've done it, but I realized what, but it did the poor. The boy being is that it took a long time from the point where the head of the studio said you're. My pig for France is to say to make that decision and people were screen testing and you know everybody wanted that Party- wouldn't want that borrowing, one at one end and so you're, the guy and then like being onset with Francis.
