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!

I hope he teased Paul UNMERCIFULLY about the hair the whole shoot! :D

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*

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.
