-You look good.
I've never seen you with the shaved head.
-Oh, yeah.
You know, I just finished a job for which I had to
shave my head every day before I went to work --
with not just, like, a buzz cut, but, like, with a BIC razor.
Have you ever had to do that? -No.
-Not great. -I don't have your face.
I can't do that. Are you kidding me?
Gosh, I don't know what I would look like.
You have a good face to pull it off.
-It's pretty fun, like, the first week,
and then, like -- I was there for 4 1/2 months.
Not fun.
And, like, also, we're shooting in Rhode Island.
It was like 17 degrees below zero.
-You got to have a good hat game.
-Strong hat game. -Yeah.
-I have a whole drawer of hats now.
-It this "NOS4A2"? -Yeah.
-That's what that was for? -Yeah. In June.
-Oh, I would know, because look at all the prosthetics.
I mean, this is... -Yeah.
-Ooh, that's scary. Good gosh.
-Returning to my roots of evil
on a new show for AMC that starts in June.
-Really?
-I play a character called Charlie Manx.
-Wow.
-And, yeah, that's about 3 1/2 hours of makeup there.
-Really? -I'd say, yeah.
I didn't have to do that every day, but I had to do it enough.
-Wow. You do that for 3 1/2 hours,
then you have to act.
-Then -- Yeah. Then you have to act.
-Then you have to do your job. -Then your day begins.
Exactly, yeah.
But it was amazing, and the people involved
were all really great.
I had a good time.
-Wow! But now that's over. -Yeah.
Thrilled to be letting my hair grow back.
-It's coming back in, yeah.
-I've started taking hair vitamins.
-Now, what is that? -I don't know.
It's probably a placebo, but I'm going for it.
-Is it, like, a ROGAINE thing?
-No, it's, like, a -- -It's just a hair vitamin.
-Yeah, not Propecia, not ROGAINE, but just --
-But it makes it grow it faster?
-Yeah, like, thicker, faster hair.
-Now, are you -- -I hope just on my head.
Like, you see me in a month,
I'm like, bearded and, like, you know --
-Next time you come out, your sweater's up to here.
You're like, "Dude, nothing but chest hair."
-I'm not wearing a sweater.
-Oh, you're not wearing a sweater.
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
I have to say, "You look good shirtless."
Well, the pills worked.
Come on.
That's how you do it right there.
-Yeah.
-Last time you were here, we were talking about
you were on Broadway.
And then you said you were going on vacation, I think.
-It was more of a retreat than a vacation,
but, yeah, I went to Peru for like almost three weeks,
actually, on a sort of meditation retreat.
-Wow! Fun! -It was pretty amazing, yeah.
But the jungle is an incredible place.
-Yeah. You stayed overnight in the jungle?
-Oh, yeah, for 2 1/2 weeks, in a hut,
in the middle of the jungle.
And I think, like, the highlight of the trip
was the earthquake.
There was an earthquake one night.
Literally, middle of the night, like 4:00 in the morning,
I was just awakened to the hut that I was staying in
swaying back and forth.
And you know when you get, like --
Like, suddenly, you're awakened?
-Yeah. -I was like, "What is that?
Like, it's monkeys."
Like, that was my -- I was like,
"There's, like, a family of monkeys
running through, like, shaking the hut,"
which is not a totally preposterous notion.
-Are you -- What do you mean? Are you in a tree house?
-Like, I was like 20 feet up off the ground, on stilts,
because there's so many, like, creatures --
-And you thought there was just, like, punk monkeys.
-I thought punk monkeys came through to disrupt my sleep.
-Shaking the house. -Yeah.
Evidently, they can't do that.
So -- But the next day, I woke up --
And, you know, like, living by myself there,
so I, like, got up and, like, went down
to the floor of the jungle and started trying to shake
the pillars of the hut to see if, like, monkeys could do that.
And then, later in the day,
they're like, "No, that was an earthquake."
-Wow!
-Luckily, it wasn't a very serious earthquake,
you know, and we were all okay, but --
-You survived. -Yeah, I survived.
-Oh, my gosh. -I survived the jungle quake.
-And that was your -- That was your peaceful retreat.
-Yeah, totally.
That sort of threw things in a --
-You have re-booked yourself for --
-Yeah, I'll be back next -- To go next month.
-To get over that earthquake, yeah.
Talk to me about "High Flying Bird,"
because this is interesting.
This is Steven Soderbergh... -Yeah.
-...who I would say is just a genius, brilliant director.
-Inspiring.
-And he shot this whole thing on an iPhone?
-On iPhones, yeah. -How's that -- I mean --
-Well, he's done another movie, a movie called "Unsane,"
which he also did in the same format.
I mean, Steven is an incredibly forward-thinking artist
and, you know, absolutely a revolutionary filmmaker
in his own right, and he's really interested in
what's possible with technology.
And so, you know, he made an entire feature film
on devices that we all carry in our pockets
and call our mothers on.
-Wow!
-Really impressive, and, you know,
it's an incredible feat of technology
and I think is -- You know, in so many ways, for me,
it signals what an inspirational time
we live in for young artists,
you know, how accessible this is.
I mean, this is one of the top-level filmmakers
in the industry making a movie with this,
and anybody can do it, you know?
I mean, not as well as him, probably,
but, you know, it's worth a shot.
-How do you know? Yeah, exactly.
-It's incredible, you know, what technology has done
to make things accessible.
The story takes place in
the world of the NBA, during a lockout.
So, naturally, nothing says the NBA like Zachary Quinto.
-The first thing that came to my mind when I thought about you,
I go, "Oh, he's in the NBA."
-But he called me up and asked me to do a little part,
and I was so grateful to be able to work with him,
to be able watch him work.
He's so precise. He's so specific.
He knows exactly what he wants and how to get it.
I mean, it's pretty impressive,
and I'm really excited to be a part of it.
-I want to show a clip. -Yeah.
-Here's Zachary Quinto in "High Flying Bird."
Take a look at this.
-Please don't put me in the category with everybody else.
-Right, 'cause your blood is in the game.
You care about the game.
-You think this is personal?
You think I'm here because my feelings are hurt?
[ Chuckles ]
Do you like this?
-Well, I hate this part of the job.
-What part? Are you firing me?
-No, but it's bad news. Pump's off near six months.
The sand's drying up in the mirage.
I know -- I messed that metaphor up,
but you know what I'm saying.
You've been in this all your life.
-So, you have been calling me, leaving me messages
to tell me that this is my life's work.
-Look, why do you got to be snippy?
-Snip--
-Ooh! Zachary Quinto, everybody!
