E!Online guy: I hope you all remember Callum Keith Rennie. This Alberta boy rocked our world as Lew Ashby in Californication. Now he's back with a new show called Shattered. Let's have a look.
Callum Keith Rennie: Woah, this is, uh. This is great.
E!Online guy: Callum Keith Rennie, know it, learn it, and love it. We think he's one actor that's worth going gaga over.
Interviewer: How do you handle the whole sex symbol bit?
Callum Keith Rennie: Wow. It's- it's just a lot of pressure. But, uh. You know. I get by with it. Uhm. I don't- what kind of question is that? That's...
Interviewer: I don't know. I just wanted to see what you think
Callum Keith Rennie: That's insane.
Callum Keith Rennie: 'Cause I don't see myself that way.
E!Online guy: Well, we do! How can't we when he moves us with his edgy bad boy charm in hit shows like Battlestar Galactica and Californication. This time around he's ready to take his bad boy persona center-stage.
Callum Keith Rennie: It's a police drama, I'm playing a detective who has a DID, a Dissociative Identity Disorder which is brought up- about by, uh, having his- seeing his family members be tortured and killed.
Interviewer: You carry around a extreme emotional baggage considering these heavy roles you often... considering these heavy characters you often inhabit?
Callum Keith Rennie: Does it look like I do?
Interviewer: Do you want the truth?
Callum Keith Rennie: Yeah. (starts lauging)
Interviewer: It all written on your face, Callum.
Callum Keith Rennie: Uhm, Do I- No. It's actually some of the heavier ones that's fun.
E!Online guy: He just can't veer away from the heavy stuff. Cause soon he will be pitched against Mr. Canada himself, Paul Gross.
Callum Keith Rennie: We're working on a movie called Gunless in Osoyoos, and I'm the bad guy, he's the good guy, he gets the girl, I got a disfigured ear. He's got the Wayne's World hair. I've got good hair. And an excellent hat.
Found at E!Online, according to the website the interview was uploaded on July 6, 2009.

Date: 2009-08-29 03:01 pm (UTC)It's so strange seeing him in an E!Online sort of deal. What with the peppy music in the background while they're discussing potential emotional baggage resulting from his roles, and the whole DID/family tortured and killed deal. Not exactly subject matter that E's too used to, methinks ;P
He's got the Wayne's World hair. I've got good hair. And an excellent hat.
At least he's proud of that pretty, pretty hair. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Date: 2009-08-29 03:22 pm (UTC)It is, isn't it? The whole thing is all snappy and peppy. Weird.
At least he's proud of that pretty, pretty hair.
And the HAT. Don't forget the HAT! *g*

Date: 2009-08-29 07:22 pm (UTC)Still uber-twitchy - while relaxed though. Paradoxical guy!
but also sounds more articulate than usual?
Interesting to note that the e!online guy sees him as a sex symbol...
and Paul Gross as heavy stuff!
I've got good hair
that is a good thing and we approve
doesn't that ring like he's been hanging around LJ some :o ?
If so: please, do keep on with the good hair! and hats are good too, specially cowboy hats!
I just love that interview!
no subject
Date: 2009-08-30 01:24 pm (UTC)Ha! Indeed. And pretty damn cute too. *g*
sounds more articulate than usual?
I think that might actually be the snappy editing. And, well, he answers, like, three questions? So, well.
Interesting to note that the e!online guy sees him as a sex symbol... and Paul Gross as heavy stuff!
Ha! Yeah, the logic is kind of... yeah. I also have the suspicion that they haven't ever heard of Due South. Kids these days...
doesn't that ring like he's been hanging around LJ some :o ?
Uhm. Yeah. Now that you mention it. There was a lot of worry about his hair after the first pictures of Paul showed up. *suspicious now* And yes, cowboy hats are awesome. *wants pictures NOW*

no subject
Date: 2009-08-29 05:46 pm (UTC)And yeah, me too. I think it's because it's so short? Like, it's just 90 seconds, so what the hell *watches again* I did exactly that about 10 times today.
no subject
Date: 2009-08-29 05:42 pm (UTC)And they used the kilt-golfing clip! \o/
I hope he teased Paul UNMERCIFULLY about the hair the whole shoot! :D
no subject
Date: 2009-08-29 05:53 pm (UTC)The kilt golfing clip totally made up for their choice of the lamest Leoben clip ever. So I guess I can forgive them for that.
And I hope EVERYONE teased Paul about the hair. I hope they put a special on the DVD with hair teasing clips from the whole crew. Because, really, he totally deserves it.

I think the missing word is Osoyoos. :)

Date: 2009-08-30 01:27 pm (UTC)A-HA. *makes note to edit* Thank you!
He's so adorable and funny and uncomfortable. Aww.
And twitchy! ♥
no subject
Date: 2009-08-30 01:42 pm (UTC)I've lost count of how many times I've watched that... But I just can't stop. Hehe!
And I really want to see this excellent hat! The way he says it makes me think it's some inside joke... Hm. :D
no subject
Date: 2009-08-29 07:29 pm (UTC)Poor Callum, he's just so uncomfortable with the whole interview thing and that business about being a sex symbol, which he totally is!
I'd love to see the behind the scenes thing of Paul and Callum fooling around after all these years. I'm sure they fell right back into the old routine of working together.
Plus, Callum gets the cool hat this time. *g*
no subject
Date: 2009-08-30 01:29 pm (UTC)*nodsnods* I want also the one where everyone mocks Paul about his hair. *g*
AND I want pictures of Callum with the excellent hat. Like, now.

Date: 2009-08-30 06:57 am (UTC)Also, holy shit, Callum, fidget much? Poor thing. XD
no subject
Date: 2009-08-30 01:35 pm (UTC)Poor thing. XD
Well, I am willing to bet that he also kind of loves it. Twitchy or not.
no subject
Date: 2009-08-30 02:09 pm (UTC)Step one: get an excellent hat.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
'We're working on a movie called Gunless in [...] and I'm the bad guy, he's the good guy, he gets the girl, I got a disfigured ear.'
Oh, I was hoping for a twist where Paul plays the bad guy and Callum plays the good guy. I still can't wait to see Paul and Callum on screen together again.
no subject
Date: 2009-09-01 09:08 pm (UTC)Hee! ♥!
Oh, I was hoping for a twist
Yeah, wouldn't that have been nice for a change. Hmpf. Maybe next time? *hopes*
no subject
Date: 2009-09-02 01:30 pm (UTC)Hee! ♥!'
haha... What can I say, it just came to me. Now I really want to see that excellent hat. I may even make some excellent hat icons when the dvds come out.
'Yeah, wouldn't that have been nice for a change. Hmpf. Maybe next time? *hopes*'
You know what would be awesome if Callum showed up on Eastwick as a good guy, with Paul playing the devil on that show I doubt he'll be good.

Date: 2009-08-30 06:49 pm (UTC)He's got the Wayne's World hair. I've got good hair. And an excellent hat.
That is some adorable and hilarious smacktalking right there.

Date: 2009-09-01 09:09 pm (UTC)Isn't it just? And just look at him being all hot and adorable and twitchy at the same time.

Twitchy as he is, he actually does seem to be enjoying this interview.
