Stunts are normally done by nutters. Yeah.

That have got a death wish.

Yeah, you have to be wired slightly differently, don't you.

Well, that's the thing, I don't think I am wired like that.No.

You were in a Hollywood film, you was in Cinderella.

You were in a Hollywood film, you was in Cinderella.

And you had stunts, didn't ya? I had a stunt double for that.

You didn't do your stunt? Can I show you my stunt double?

What was the stunt first? So I was the footman

What was the stunt first? So I was the footman

that had to drive the horse and carriage away, right.OK.

At speed.Right, OK.So I didn't have training to do that.

Lack of skill double. Yeah.

So if there was a sex scene, again, that guy would have to step in.Yeah.

So if there was a sex scene, again, that guy would have to step in.Yeah.

He's... "Just so you know, Romesh, who we've got in this,

he's flaccid all the time." Yeah.

I have done a sex scene, you just... It doesn't matter.

Having sex with your wife's not a sex scene.Yeah...

Having sex with your wife's not a sex scene.Yeah...

Well, it is. It happens that rarely. (GIGGLES)

Where you have to write it and go through a few drafts.

Yeah, you have to cast it, set up a scenario.Yeah, OK.

Yeah, you have to cast it, set up a scenario.Yeah, OK.

Make sure the kids are out. "So in this scene, you still find me attractive."

(CHUCKLES) Yeah. Anyway.

So it was me, James Corden, James Acaster.Yep.

So it was me, James Corden, James Acaster.Yep.

Corden and Acaster went out to film the scene with my stunt double.

Then they sent me this photo. OK.

My stunt double's in the middle. OK, so he's a white man.

My stunt double's in the middle. OK, so he's a white man.

(LAUGHS) I'd say that's the headline news.

What I would say is... if the stunt guy...Yeah.

What I would say is... if the stunt guy...Yeah.

..is a 60-year-old white man, don't bother with the wig and glasses.

'To get us going on our stunt journey,

we'd found the perfect place to start.

The Fall Guy is the latest blockbuster from director

and former stuntman David Leitch.

and former stuntman David Leitch.

The film is a love letter to stunt performers,

showing just how crucial they are in creating mega action movies.'

showing just how crucial they are in creating mega action movies.'

(FANFARE)

'We'd bagged an interview, with the brains behind the film

Hollywood power couple David Leitch and Kelly McCormick.

So we'd come to London's Corinthia Hotel to meet them.

And unbelievably, they'd also invited along the film's hot couple,

And unbelievably, they'd also invited along the film's hot couple,

Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling.'

I'm a bit nervous. They are Hollywood megastars.

They were at the Oscars the other week.

They were at the Oscars the other week.

Hi, how are you? Hi. Nice to meet you.

How you doing? Hello.

It's like waiting to interview the prom queen and the prom king.

He's so sexy. And I mean, I would.

He's so sexy. And I mean, I would.

If Gosling put it on me, let's go.

Figure this out. KELLY: Need a pillow?

Does that feel good? That actually feels too good.

I would love a little pillow. There you go.Get comfy.

Before we start, can we talk about Rom's body language?

He's done the marathon yesterday. (GASPS) Did you?

Yeah, I am now feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

Yeah, I am now feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

Not because of you, you've made me feel very comfortable. I just mean physically.

When you finished, were you very, very emotional

or were you just in agony for most of it?

or were you just in agony for most of it?

I felt relief. Yeah.

He was mainly alone, due to the time it took him.

Actually, yeah. My agent was supposed to be meeting me at the finish line,

Actually, yeah. My agent was supposed to be meeting me at the finish line,

but she said she had to go, my wife and children weren't there either.

So I'll be honest with you.

For many, it's emotional and wonderful.

For me, it felt like just a damning indictment of my family and work situation.

For me, it felt like just a damning indictment of my family and work situation.

(LAUGHTER) So.

We are trying to be stunt performers.

OK.You do the sort of stunt at the beginning

OK.You do the sort of stunt at the beginning

where you're dropped from a big height.

And is it true you're scared of heights?Yes.

So, and your company's motto is...

"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."

"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."

(EPIC ACTION MUSIC PLAYS OVER SCENE)

I'm a bit more scared than Romesh. OK.

I'm a bit more scared than Romesh. OK.

Romesh has done a bit of stunt work in sitcoms he's written

where he plays a character called Romesh.

So he's on top of that. Listen, I don't have a great range.

So he's on top of that. Listen, I don't have a great range.

But I can play a version of myself almost completely convincingly.

But you've got less fear than me.

So how does Ryan Gosling face his fears?

So how does Ryan Gosling face his fears?

Try to get out of it in a lot of different ways. We talked about CGI.

I was like, "Can't you do a face replace?"

And then we thought no... Green screen.

"It's called The Fall Guy. You have to fall!"

"It's called The Fall Guy. You have to fall!"

(LAUGHTER) "At some point!"

Did you do more of your own stunts in this film than you would normally?

I feel I was, like, not quite as stunty as I normally am.

I feel I was, like, not quite as stunty as I normally am.

Really? You're more stunty than... No, no, I feel, I feel...

KELLY: Stunty Blunty? Stunty Blunty.

Sort of a nickname I don't mind, feel free to use it if you want.

Sort of a nickname I don't mind, feel free to use it if you want.

Thanks. Stunty Blunty! (LAUGHTER)

Out of the two of us, who do you think would be

the best stunt performer on first impressions?

Just looking at us physically, what do you think?

Just looking at us physically, what do you think?

I think you guys should keep your day job.

Thank you. OK, cool.

Thank you. I like motivation.

She said the same thing to me, by the way.Oh, yeah?

She said the same thing to me, by the way.Oh, yeah?

'What we hadn't realised when we landed this interview

was David intended to get our stunt training started immediately.

was David intended to get our stunt training started immediately.

Not only had they brought along two suspicious-looking chairs,

they'd also called in Ryan's stunt doubles,

Ben Jenkin and Logan Holladay.

Ben Jenkin and Logan Holladay.

And now we'd be doing a stunt right in front of Hollywood royalty.'

I mean the first thing, like...

I mean the first thing, like...

I guess is can you take a hit?

Can you take a hit from a breakaway chair, so Rob why don't we...OK.

Yeah, go on Rob.Get you doing this first, see how you do, yeah.

Yeah, go on Rob.Get you doing this first, see how you do, yeah.

Any, any advice or tips? Don't do it.(LAUGHTER)

They're very light so you're definitely gonna have to sell it.

What kind of sound do you think you're gonna make?

What kind of sound do you think you're gonna make?

You wanna audition some sounds? It'll probably be, "Fucking hell!"

OK. Just hit me with the chair, let's go.

What about something more high-pitched?

What about something more high-pitched?

Bit like, a-a-ah! But, like, shorter maybe.

(GASP SHOUTS) Yeah.

KELLY: Higher? Oh. I liked the first one.

(SHRIEKS SOFTLY) Yeah.Like a... (SHRILL SHRIEK)

(SHRIEKS SOFTLY) Yeah.Like a... (SHRILL SHRIEK)

Like one of those.That's good. Honestly, it sounds wicked.

DAVID: Ready and three, two, one. Action!

(YELLS) Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

(YELLS) Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. KELLY: Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. That was... Holy shit! (CLAPPING, CHEERING)

LOGAN: Was that the real chair?! Nice! Oh, my God.

LOGAN: Was that the real chair?! Nice! Oh, my God.

Nice work, nice work, nice work.

Really good. Thank you.That was so good.

How was it? Know what, I enjoyed it.

You did? I got a buzz out of that.

Romesh, you're up. EMILY: Oh no,

Romesh, you're up. EMILY: Oh no,

he's very sore from the marathon. I'm just like...

Oh! He's just run a marathon.

KELLY: Do you wanna do stretching? I think you better stretch.

Do you want to audition sounds before you do it or you wanna...?

(SHRILL) Oh, shit! Yeah, yeah. Cool, cool.(LAUGHTER)

Fucking hell, mate! That's good.

OK. "Oh, shit!"

OK. "Oh, shit!"

DAVID: Three, two, one. Action.

(YELLS) Oh, shit!

(LAUGHTER)

(CLAPPING, CHEERING) EMILY: Oh, my God.

We might actually have to help him up.We have to help him up.

We might actually have to help him up.We have to help him up.

DAVID: Come on buddy. You got it. You got it.

He just ran a marathon.

(LAUGHS) Here we go.

Thanks man, thank you. His legs are shot!

Thanks man, thank you. His legs are shot!

Ryan Gosling helping me up from a crash mat was better than my wedding.

This glowing wall of sex appeal was coming over,

I felt like I was in heaven, and the angel Ryan Gosling was welcoming me in.

I felt like I was in heaven, and the angel Ryan Gosling was welcoming me in.

"Come up off the crash mat baby, welcome to the other side."

Oh, my God, it's wonderful.

One thing that I noticed from that, that when he gets hit

One thing that I noticed from that, that when he gets hit

he turns into an American pimp. Yeah, I don't know why...

(AMERICAN ACCENT) Oh, shit. Oh, shit!

(AMERICAN ACCENT) He done hit me with the chair, God damn!

(AMERICAN ACCENT) He done hit me with the chair, God damn!

(LAUGHTER)

(SIGHS) Was that OK? How was that?

That was great, you guys. I am, I was shocked.First time out.

That was great, you guys. I am, I was shocked.First time out.

Not to compare, but I feel Ben was a bit harsher on you,

I feel the chair really shattered with you.

Right.Yeah. You got the marathon treatment.

Right.Yeah. You got the marathon treatment.

There's two more chairs so they could go again if you want it harder?

Do you know what? I'm good. Yeah, OK.

I feel like we've got it, know what I mean? What's the point going again?

I feel like we've got it, know what I mean? What's the point going again?

We've got limited resources.That's not how it works in the stunt world.

Right, so we going again? Yeah, sure, why not, yeah.

'I didn't want to do it, but the thought of being helped up again

'I didn't want to do it, but the thought of being helped up again

from the man sent from heaven was enough motivation to get me going.

Oh, the double hit, OK.

DAVID: Ready and three, two, one, action.

DAVID: Ready and three, two, one, action.

(BOTH YELL) (LAUGHTER)

EMILY: So good!

'For a moment, I thought Ryan was coming to the rescue.

'For a moment, I thought Ryan was coming to the rescue.

But it wasn't meant to be.'

'Considering David had dropped a stunt audition on us mid-interview,

'Considering David had dropped a stunt audition on us mid-interview,

we'd managed to pull it off.

And even better, we hadn't totally embarrassed ourselves.'

You were amazing, that kind of woke me up, it was great.

You were amazing, that kind of woke me up, it was great.

'Our stunt skills had got the A-List seal of approval,

but Ryan and Emily weren't the only ones impressed.'

but Ryan and Emily weren't the only ones impressed.'

If you guys came to LA, maybe we could do some training.

OK. That would be amazing.

We could learn some different aspects of stunts,

maybe some fights, some falls, see your aptitude and...

maybe some fights, some falls, see your aptitude and...

..find your weaknesses and your strengths.

Well, I can email you my weaknesses, I've already got them listed.

You got a list? Yeah, yeah.

You got a list? Yeah, yeah.

Can I ask one thing though, cos I'm the kind of person

that gets a bit anxious and just before the moment,

Ryan's fall at the beginning, I'll be like, "No, I don't wanna do it."

Ryan's fall at the beginning, I'll be like, "No, I don't wanna do it."

What do I do in that moment?

You have to do this mantra,

"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."

OK. Right.

I mean, I don't know the goal, if you could do a stunt on a TV show

I mean, I don't know the goal, if you could do a stunt on a TV show

or a film set, we could get you to that level, we would be impressed.

That'd be great. We're excited. Let's do it.

That'd be great. We're excited. Let's do it.

Thank you.Good luck with the film, it's brilliant.

'It was a great start, but things were moving fast,

and we still weren't totally sure

what was in store for us when we hit America.'

what was in store for us when we hit America.'

'We're diving in to the world of Hollywood stunts.'

'We're diving in to the world of Hollywood stunts.'

Action. Oh, my God!

'Blockbuster director and former stuntman

David Leitch has set us a challenge.'

If you could do a stunt on a TV show or a film set,

If you could do a stunt on a TV show or a film set,

if we could get you to that level, we would be impressed.

'He'd invited us to train with his team in LA,

'He'd invited us to train with his team in LA,

and hopefully take our stunt careers to the next level.'

It is very Hollywood isn't it? Well, it is Hollywood.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, I know.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, I know.

I didn't know what else to say! Incredible observation.

"The thing about Hollywood is it really is Hollywood."

We're going to learn stunts now, right?Yes.

We're going to learn stunts now, right?Yes.

And I know that's the official goal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But what are we trying to get out of this?

I've had a little idea, Rom. David Leitch does films.

I've had a little idea, Rom. David Leitch does films.

Yeah, correct. Week in, week out.

They're always looking for hot new talent.Not week in, week out.

Look, let's just try and sell ourselves here.

I think we should throw in ideas

I think we should throw in ideas

where us as a casting could be a good idea.

You know, like, we could be the next, like, Lethal Weapon.

We could be... Yes.

Do you know what I mean? "I'm getting too old for this shit."

Do you know what I mean? "I'm getting too old for this shit."

Yeah. I love that, Danny Glover.

So do you think it's worth, when we meet David,

that we act at certain points?

Um...So if they go, "Oh, Rob, here's... Are you hungry?"

Um...So if they go, "Oh, Rob, here's... Are you hungry?"

It's like a biscuit or whatever, and go...

(AMERICAN ACCENT) "Damn... that biscuit good."

(AMERICAN ACCENT) "Damn... that biscuit good."

Yeah, well, if he's remaking Fresh Prince then yes,

I think that's a great shout. (LAUGHS)

Who was I in Fresh Prince there? Who was that?

You were like when Fresh Prince sees a girl.

You were like when Fresh Prince sees a girl.

(AMERICAN ACCENTS) Damn. Damn. Mm.

I should plant you so I can grow a whole field of y'all.(LAUGHS)

I should plant you so I can grow a whole field of y'all.(LAUGHS)

'We were en route to David's film production company,

87 North, where we'd spend the day with his specialist stunt team.'

DAVID: I think that all works.

Just run it, run it one more time.

Hello, David.Hey. Good to see you again, mate.

You made it!Yeah. How you doing, man?

You made it!Yeah. How you doing, man?

Glad you made it. Thanks for having us.

No, we're excited, the guys are putting together some cool stuff,

and one of the fundamentals of stunt work

is learning how to fight and fall.

is learning how to fight and fall.

So what the guys did last week

is they put together a stunt sequence.

Hello mate, alright? Nice to meet you, Shahaub.

Hello mate, alright? Nice to meet you, Shahaub.

Hey man, how's it going, you alright?Pleasure.

'David and his fight co-ordinator Shahaub

had choreographed a fight scene for us to learn.

had choreographed a fight scene for us to learn.

The stunt visualisation demoed what was expected,

and by the looks of it, they were throwing us in the deep end.'

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

There you go. OK. So if we manage to do that...

Yeah. ..really well,

Yeah. ..really well,

what are the chances of getting in a film?

Well... (CHUCKLES)

Look, we're in Hollywood, it would be weird not to ask wouldn't it?

Look, we're in Hollywood, it would be weird not to ask wouldn't it?

Building relationships with big Hollywood directors.

I disagree, I think it's weird to ask.No.

I think that's what you do in Hollywood, you just... balls out.

Yeah. Can I have a job?

Yeah. Can I have a job?

That's how you make it? Yeah.I don't know.

Am I wrong or right, David? You know.

Declare yourself a competitor to the people training us today, great idea.

That's a great shout, yeah. No, no, no.

That's a great shout, yeah. No, no, no.

No, no, no, a future colleague. So smart.

This was the whole plan. We come in, "Yeah we're looking at stunts."

But that's not the real... Look.

But that's not the real... Look.

The real objective is to get in a movie, right, that's the plan.

But what you don't do is go, "So do you think we could be in a film?"

But what you don't do is go, "So do you think we could be in a film?"

Fucking idiot.

'It takes David and his team months to perfect stunts for films,

but we only had a few hours to learn a sequence

but we only had a few hours to learn a sequence

that David would be directing later.'

As I bring it over, push off.

'We had a lot to learn.' And go.

'We had a lot to learn.' And go.

'And Rom was already struggling with the basics.'

Put more power on the right arm. Get it, Romesh.Go on, Rom.

Put more power on the right arm. Get it, Romesh.Go on, Rom.

And go. (LAUGHS)

We're gonna go right to the falls, don't worry about the rolls.

We're gonna go right to the falls, don't worry about the rolls.

'A simple forward roll was too much for Rom,

so Shahaub wanted to try something even more basic -

falling flat on our face.'

falling flat on our face.'

Three, two, one, go.

(BODIES THUD)

'Becoming a professional stunt performer takes years of training,

and Rom was making it painfully obvious why.'

and Rom was making it painfully obvious why.'

Oh, fuck. (LAUGHS)

What happened over there, Rom? He got his balls.

I increased the surface area.

I increased the surface area.

I honestly think it would be less painful just to have the fight.

(CACKLES)

When you can't fall over properly... it's a low point.

When you can't fall over properly... it's a low point.

Cor, pow. Oh, fuck me!

Luckily, I've got three kids,

Luckily, I've got three kids,

I've got no real use for that area anymore anyway.

I don't know if I've got a little knob but I'm feeling nothing down there when I go down.

Absolutely Captain Grapefruit on the front.

Absolutely Captain Grapefruit on the front.

(LAUGHS)

'Our falls were bad, but Shahaub didn't have time to baby feed us.

We needed to get to the bread and butter of a fight scene,

We needed to get to the bread and butter of a fight scene,

the art of looking like you've been hit

without actually getting clobbered.'

Ready and go.

(GRUNTING) Good. Go.

(GRUNTING) Good. Go.

Pop! And go.

And go. Good.

'Getting the timing right definitely wasn't easy,

'Getting the timing right definitely wasn't easy,

but Rom was making it look like he'd been dosed up.'

(GASPING)

Romesh's neck is so stiff,

I think there's something medically wrong with it.

Every single shot he took, he's like...

He went from the waist backwards.

He looked like he's got one nerve

that controls the whole top half of his body.

Even more relaxed. Even more relaxed than that?

Even more relaxed. Even more relaxed than that?

Your head, your head, relax your head.OK.

Fuck you. (GRUNTS) (GIGGLES)

Am I doing it the same as Romesh, then?

You send it with more of a snap.

Can I just say something, you knew you were doing better,

you just asked for confirmation for the cameras.

No, I don't know if I'm doing better but I'm not getting the advice I need

No, I don't know if I'm doing better but I'm not getting the advice I need

because of what we've got here is a lost cause.

Shall we carry on or do you just want a bit of time

to get his tongue out your arse? (LAUGHS)

to get his tongue out your arse? (LAUGHS)

Let's do one more. Do you do that as a stunt?

(LAUGHTER)I'd be really relaxed if you do that.

Really chilled, there'd be no tension in my neck at all.

Really chilled, there'd be no tension in my neck at all.

'So far, Shahaub didn't seem to think I'd done enough

to prove my lack of coordination,

which made it even more surprising when he armed me with a baton.'

which made it even more surprising when he armed me with a baton.'

Three, two, one, action. Bah!

(GRUNTING) (LAUGHS)

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm so... You OK? I'm so sorry.

I'm so... You OK? I'm so sorry.

'To limit the damage to his stunt team,

Shahaub decided to hit us instead.'

And one, two, three, four. (GRUNTING)

And one, two, three, four. (GRUNTING)

DAVID: Let me see some of this, did they do a good job or?

Do you know what David, this is not actually exhibition ready.

(LAUGHTER)

(LAUGHTER)

He's been brilliant, David, don't worry. Watch this.

Let's go. Ready and action.

Hey and ba and po and pow and boom and pop.

Hey and ba and po and pow and boom and pop.

Alright. (LAUGHS)

Ready, ready. Set and action.

Hey and ba and pop, pow, cah.

Hey and ba and pop, pow, cah.

Good. I mean, he's got the hair acting down.

Yeah. Yeah.

What do you think of that David? A six and a seven point five.

What do you think of that David? A six and a seven point five.

OK, I'm gonna be honest with you, the point five was a real dick move.

Can I... You didn't have to do that. No.

Can I... You didn't have to do that. No.

And it really felt like you thought about it as well.I did.

'David wasn't massively impressed with our progress,

but we didn't have any more time to practise.

We had to move on to learning the fight sequence

We had to move on to learning the fight sequence

that David would be directing soon.'

We'll walk through that, but basically,

it's the first angle he takes, then a big reaction.

'We were playing gangsters in a bar brawl, and ironically,

'We were playing gangsters in a bar brawl, and ironically,

our characters weren't just rubbish at fighting,

they were also total cowards.'

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

Alright, let's get it. Good stuff guys.

So we're in the corner being absolutely pathetic.

STUNTER: Quick walk through, positions.

STUNTER: Quick walk through, positions.

Three, two, one, action. Bang. (BOTH GRUNTING)

Yoo-hoo! Bang, bang, bang, clear.

Yoo-hoo! Bang, bang, bang, clear.

And go. Boom. Loved it.

(FIGHTING GRUNTS)

Oh, shit! Bam!

Oh, shit! Bam!

Cane, cane.

And... cane, cane.

And oomp. (SLAPSTICK GROAN)

(LAUGHTER)

With regards to his nuts getting smashed, it was insane!

With regards to his nuts getting smashed, it was insane!

You're supposed to be in keeping with what else is going on.

We're beating the shit out of each other, right?

And it's like, "Oh, fuck, oh, shit." And then all of a sudden...

And it's like, "Oh, fuck, oh, shit." And then all of a sudden...

And then... (SLAPSTICK GROAN)

(LAUGHTER)

That would be over the top for Dumb And Dumber the movie.

That would be over the top for Dumb And Dumber the movie.

Like I say, I can dial it up if you need it.

He actually thought that's what they wanted.

On the last one, he went so big on it...

(SLAPSTICK GROAN)

Bang, bang.

Bang, bang.

And bang. (SLAPSTICK GROAN)

Love it. And...

'What a bad decision.'

'What a bad decision.'

(SLAPSTICK GROAN)

You sure that I'm not going overboard with the nut stuff?

Oh, that's a Dave question. (LAUGHS)

Oh, that's a Dave question. (LAUGHS)

'The thought of Rob doing his insane nut smash

in front of a blockbuster Hollywood director

was almost too good to be true.

But right now, I had my own set-piece stunt to learn.'

But right now, I had my own set-piece stunt to learn.'

How'd that feel? Great. Wonderful.

'After my experience earlier,

'After my experience earlier,

I was just relieved not to be landing front first,

but the relief didn't last long.

The final move of the sequence

put me on the receiving end of an Undertaker choke slam.'

put me on the receiving end of an Undertaker choke slam.'

Three, two, one, action.

(GRUNTS)

That looked great! 'We'd done one run-through,

That looked great! 'We'd done one run-through,

and just about got our heads round the sequence.

But I wouldn't say we were ready for a performance.'

Soon as Dave gets in here, basically we'll do each one to satisfaction.

ROMESH: OK. The nut shot.Yes.

Too much, or?

It's a pinch. Just a pinch.

'It definitely didn't feel like we'd nailed it,

but it was down to David to give us his verdict on how we'd performed.'

So final assessment, how did you do?

I would say you did OK.

You did one day, you had a crash course.

You know how hard it is. Yeah.

You know how hard it is. Yeah.

Would I hire either one of you to be a stunt performer at this moment?

Shall we leave in the... up in the air, shouldn't we?

(LAUGHTER)

(LAUGHTER)

Do you know what I mean? Like... make it enigmatic.

Should we pose it as a question and just leave it, would I?

Yeah. Would you?

I would say after day one, no. OK.

I would say after day one, no. OK.

Just say both did great, and then we'll put that in.

You both did... OK for your first day.

Thank you.For your first day. That's alright, thank you.

Even though going to Hollywood and, like, doing...

all of that was, like, hard. But it wasn't going on anything.

You know, we're doing a job as stunt people on a TV show.

You know, we're doing a job as stunt people on a TV show.

We're in Hollyoaks, it's gonna be in the episode.

So there is a lot of pressure on us. If we get this wrong...

..it ruins the episode.

So Donny has orchestrated a plan

with a fellow inmate of Warren's called Sunshine,

who you are gonna play, Rob.

who you are gonna play, Rob.

I am Sunshine. You are Sunshine.

He's described in the script...

..as a massive prick. (LAUGHS)

He's described as... smiling when he beats someone up.

OK.So we're looking for a really manic smile.

So a manic smile is... A bit unhinged, yeah.

When you get the wink from Donny,

you've got to then say, "I'm gonna kill you!"

I was joking, have you not got one? No I've not got a line.

You're Sunshine the psychopath, I'm called Reg.

Reg the prison guard, but obviously...

Reg the prison guard, but obviously...

So the reason we've chosen you to play the prison guard

is because when Sunshine creates the riot,

Reg is then going to allow Warren a safe exit out the prison.Right.

Reg is then going to allow Warren a safe exit out the prison.Right.

The prison guard is corrupt.

Yeah. So we thought that would suit you.

Did you work back from corruption? (LAUGHS)

So Rob says "I'm gonna kill you."

To be fair, Rom's role is getting slightly bigger,
