You see, I'm a *mature* crazy person
Филлион рассказывает о его первой встрече с Джоссом
I was doing a sitcom at a time—Two Guys, A Girl And A Pizza Place. 20th Century Fox was the production company, and they were kind enough to invite me to have what they call a holding deal. They said “We don’t have anything for you yet, but you hang tight and we’ll find something for you.” And they kind of put you on reserve, so you don’t have to really worry about a job or income at the moment. From that deal, I got a meeting with Joss Whedon. I remember going into this office with Amy McIntyre Britt [from casting]. There’s this other fellow in the corner, sitting on a little lower, lounge-y chair, purple sweater on. The sweater had a hole in it on the left side of his chest, and he had this orange scraggly hair and orange scraggly beard. Amy said, “Well I’ll just leave you two guys alone,” and she got up and left. I thought, “Who is this guy, and when is Joss Whedon going to get here?” And then the conversation starts, and I realize, “This is Joss Whedon.” I’d seen a photo of him, but he looked nothing like this guy. He was planning on playing a small part in Firefly, and we wound up not actually doing that, but he was getting prepped to be all scruffy for that role.
So the two of us sat down and we started chatting. And he’s a very easy conversationalist, we chatted for about a good 45 minutes about Firefly, about his journey in the industry, about how I got to where I am, and about work ethic. We had a very, very easy, very good conversation. And at the end of it he said, “All right, I’d like you to come in and read for Malcolm Reynolds.” And that’s how it went.
