1:10

1:18
I'm a vegetarian I mean that would be a blessing yes yes
1:22
but does that really oh my god I know don't think about that first thing in the morning
1:26
does that ruin your taste I think so, because I eat like a child and very blandly
1:36
I don't eat very... So no spices, no... No, no, no. I can't really eat pepper or anything like that
1:44
What would be your ideal meal? If you could cheat what was your one I would have this toast that I really love I gluten and there this really delicious kind of toast that I love and I would have two protein drinks I a person that would What kind of life do you live Yeah because I don really

That's why she is so... Her inner life is so alive, because she's just taking care of herself
2:05
No, no, no, no, no, because I eat plenty of junk. This is one of the greatest people you'll ever get to work with, by the way
2:10
Thank you. Stop it. He said that about the last co-star when he came in
2:18
No, she was really... It looks like a lot of fun, the film Deep Cover
2:27
Well, give us the premise of the film for people that have no clue. It's a British action comedy. It takes place here in Shoreditch
2:33
And it's about a group of improv actors who are recruited to do kind of low-level sting operations to go undercover
2:44
and because they're improv actors, you know, the central tenet is yes and
2:50
So as they get kind of sucked into this criminal underground world
2:55
they keep saying yes and. And escalating it into a complete catastrophe
3:00
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Were there any kind of British comedies growing up
3:05
that you had much experience of? Were there like British comedy shows
3:09
as a kid that you remember? I mean, Ab Fab, I watched non-stop
3:14
Like, non-stop. And then it was always like... Oh, I'm with you
3:19
Do you know, word of an eye, I watched a bit of that yesterday because it popped up on... Can you believe we ever had that
3:24
So you don't know what Heidi High is, Bryce, I'm guessing. No, I actually don't. You don't ever need to
3:29
You know what I've been re-watching? Extras with the man who sat next to you
3:33
Oh, my God. That was so embarrassing. And that was proving Orlando's comedy chops right there
3:38
Yeah, he's brilliant, isn't he? Yeah. And this movie like honestly Orlando genuinely steals the entire movie Lies Nope Orlando is actually true Like he plays so specifically he plays a method actor
3:55
And if you know anything about method actors... Yes. Well, they all know I take myself too seriously
4:00
That's the thing. Which Orlando doesn't in real life. I've been doing this for years
4:04
They're like, that guy just takes himself way too seriously. He's going to be brilliant in this
4:09
Not at all. Not at all. against type. I don't know about that. You grew up in a household, Bryce
4:14
where you were surrounded by film and TV. As a kid, do you remember
4:18
were you spending much time on sets or did you have famous actors kind of just around the house all the time
4:23
I spent a lot of time on sets, for sure. An unusual amount of time
4:28
Like, I think because I was the oldest of four and my younger sisters were twins
4:35
So it was like just me and then chaos. and so I just tagged along with my dad a lot
4:42
and my dad grew up in the industry as a professional actor, child actor
4:46
and so he just thought like, yeah, kids want sets that makes sense
4:50
It is an education being on set with Bryce She has like set etiquette to the extreme
4:55
It's like really beautiful But you started, you were teeny when you started as well
5:00
Yeah, but I was a thug You were a punk from Kenya Moved up to London at 16, didn't know anything
5:05
Just like, yeah, alright mate You know, whatever She is literally like, it's like being on set with an angel
5:12
The fact that you say that. I feel like there might be a deep cover too, Jamie
5:16
She's so generous. She's so generous. By saying that, you suggest that some aren't like that
5:21
Well. Come on. Come on. Stop it. You don't want to name names. People are pretty darn good
5:27
Got him tattooed up his arm. I think most folks who are working are good
5:33
Like making movies you kind of need to be not a problem because there are a lot of things that can come up Yeah you a cog in the wheel and if you not then you making the wheel clunk along And you been very fulsome in your praise of Orlando
5:47
Nothing that kind of wound you up about him. No. Is there any time when he broke out of his character
5:53
My smell. No, no, no, no. It was wonderful and it was such a treat for me
6:00
because I hope it's okay sharing this. Just do it. Go on. Don't hurry
6:04
beautiful family was there and I love his daughter. I like to watercolour
6:10
She taught Daisy to watercolour. What? She taught Daisy to... By the way, most people sit at the side
6:16
of the set and are like scrolling the gram or anything. And she has set up
6:22
this beautiful table and by the way, they're beautiful watercolours. I think you're going to go..
6:28
It's not a side hustle at all. It's like a thing, right? Are you going to do an exhibition
6:31
Could there be an exhibition? She's literally doing these beautiful watercolors and Daisy would come over and go
6:38
what are you doing? And this angel. And she's like, Daisy, and she sets her up
6:44
and she's got this water. I mean, literally, I went home and bought her a watercolour set and she's been doing water packs
6:49
She loves it now. Daisy's marvelous. Mother number one over there. No, you're so sweet
6:55
No, but it was honestly one of the kind of great joys
6:59
of getting to do this apart from it's a comedy and it's fun, you know, and it's just such a great cast
7:05
