Alien: Earth Season 2, Bangkok vs. London, and the Actor's Lament
At 13:25 · chapter starts 11:40
Olyphant launches into the existential condition of the working actor: Season 1 of Alien: Earth shot in Bangkok, which was hot but magical, and which he grew to love even as he hoped never to return. When Season 2 was announced, the cast pleaded not to go back — and got London instead of Budapest. Olyphant was thrilled. For about one second. Then the call came and his immediate response was: 'God damn, can't we just shoot in LA?' It perfectly illustrates 'a complaint of actors.' Jason Bateman probes the logistics of being uprooted for months — hotels, rental homes, family logistics. Will Arnett drops the bombshell that he himself has a 6-month job in Atlanta starting soon, which is news to Bateman.
