Lights out Conference Call Transcript Lights Out Conference Call transcript Dominic Pagone – FX Network Holt McCallany – Patrick “Lights” Leary, Lights Out Warren Leight – Executive Producer, Lights Out PRESENTATION Moderator Welcome to the Lights Out Conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later we will conduct a question and answer session, with instructions given at that time. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Mr. Dominic Pagone. D. Pagone Thank you very much, and hello, everybody. Thanks for joining us today on the conference call for FX’s newest original drama seriesLights Out, which premieres tomorrow night, Tuesday, January 11th at 10:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific. We’re pleased to be joined today by the star of Lights, Mr. Patrick “Lights” Leary himself, Holt McCallany, and the show’s Executive Producer and Showrunner, Mr. Warren Leight. Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time today and let’s go ahead and open it up to questions. Moderator We’ll go to the line of April MacIntyre with Monsters & Critics. A. MacIntyre Hi, guys. Thanks so much for your time this morning. W. Leight Hi, April. H. McCallany Thanks for your kind words, by the way. A. MacIntyre Oh, well full disclosure— H. McCallany Yes, thank you, you made my friend Bas Rutten very happy, April, with that fabulous review. He was here the other night, he flew to New York for the premiere and we kept talking about your review. He’s an old friend of mine and a wonderful guy. He did a great job. I was just very, very pleased that you singled him out and gave him such a nice notice, so thank you for that. A. MacIntyre That actually ties into my question because there are three characters—full disclosure, I’ve seen the whole series. Of course I love it and I’m curious on two small characters, the one who plays Eddie Romeo, and forgive me, I don’t know that actor’s name, and of course Bas Rutten, and I know his name but I don’t know his character’s name, Eddie Chin’s leg breaker there who has a great fight scene with you in episode four. I want to know specifically if we will see those characters again. Then also, too, Bill Irwin plays Hal Brennan. I want to know if you can talk about those three characters. W. Leight Bas Rutten, not only do I have respect for him but I’m actually afraid of him. He’s the real deal. The unknowable is, is there a season two and then beyond that what would season two look like. There are some characters that came in this season that you would be dumb not to try to bring back. I think Bas, we have to figure out a way of doing it, but he was terrific and actually, I didn’t realize he’s a very strong actor. He really did well with the few lines I had originally given him. We gave him a few more when that became apparent, and he was terrific. Eddie Romeo was played by Eamonn Walker, who is actually British, which you would not know from that performance. He’s stunning. I think that character, right now, he’s back up in the woods but I do anticipate that if there were a season two that at some point he would resurface. Bill Irwin, the more we used him the more we wanted to use him. I find him a remarkable actor and human being. A lot of what we thought might happen in season one changed once production began, and you have to be aware, oh, this is working, let’s give this more. Bill, he just seemed to me to pop every time he was on screen. So if you’ve seen all 13 you saw that his storyline really grows and grows, as did Reg Cathey’s. I think they’re poised to be principal antagonists if there were to be a season two. Also, Bill is one of those guys, you’d e-mail him a rewrite— Here’s a true Bill story. He would show up to read-throughs that his character wasn’t in because he wanted to know where the story was going. I felt very lucky to have that kind of obsessive support from someone. He was great. He’s also Mr. Noodle, which is kind of a bonus. A. MacIntyre My follow up to all of that is, and I also greatly enjoyed Stacy Keach. To me he’s just one of those iconic veteran actors that has been in so many things but he’s so good. I’m so glad that you utilized him as your father, as the patriarch of the Leary family. I was wondering if you could talk of any anecdotes about, I know he’s funny, if you had any great anecdotes about Stacy. W. Leight You first, Holt. I have one, but you first. H. McCallany April what I would say to you is this—and Warren knows that I feel this way—they could have searched for 12 centuries and never found a better choice to play my father than Stacy. I have such tremendous admiration for him. First of all, he’s a consummate actor who has really done everything that you can do as an actor, from memorable film roles to an extensive stage career on Broadway and in the West End of London, and he played King Lear, and he carried his own series and he’s just done everything. W. Leight And he’s done some cheesy work when he had to too. He’s had a real actor’s life. H. McCallany Right. Yes, yes, yes. I mean it when I say that he’s the real McCoy. He’s had his ups and his downs, but it goes a lot further than us looking similarly physically, I think we think similarly and we see the world similarly. So there’s a tremendous bond between us and an unspoken communication that was there right from the beginning. I really like this guy personally tremendously and I respect him, and I learn from him every time we work together. W. Leight He was the show’s patriarch in a lot of ways. Every actor looks forward to a scene with Stacy and a lot of people had, in some ways each of them had a special scene with Stacy that’s one of their best moments of the year. He’s one of those guys. I remember the last day we were shooting, we were shooting at Hellgate Studios, which is an aptly named studio at the base of the Triboro Bridge in Queens, and Stacy’s call time was 3:00 a.m. Saturday because we had lost control of the week, it was the finale and the schedule had slipped. That’s never a good sign when you’re calling someone to work at 3:00 a.m., and it was 95 degrees, we had no air conditioning in that gym and there’s flies all over the place. It’s basically saying come to Purgatory for the night. And his back was out because the preceding three days we had been doing fight scenes and there was a lot of motion and movement, and he was supposed to do a scene where he was shadow boxing in the ring with Holt, father and son doing a little shadow boxing moment, and he could barely move. I just said, “Look, Stacy, we’ll do something else.” He said, “Well, let me give it a try.” Now it’s hard, he had to be assisted and it was just a bad, tough night. He gets into the ring, and Norberto Barba, the director, yells, “Action,” and he stands himself up with great effort and then starts shadow boxing like he’s 29 and Norberto yells, “Cut.” So in that moment he was no longer in pain, he was no longer our patriarch, he was like he was inFat City. Norberto yelled, “Cut,” and it clearly had taken everything out of him and Norberto of course being a classic director wants six more takes and I was like, “One more, Norberto,” but when you yell, “Action,” everything else goes away and he’s the most present actor you’ve ever worked with. He’s just a delight. Also when he came in to audition Holt later told me, he whispered to Holt, “Which is the guy I have to play to?” He’s still worried about getting a job, which is almost obscene at this point, but he’s a lifer. I think he really set a tone for all the other actors. Every actor said, wow, you can learn so much from him, or this guy’s had the life. Also, just about every actor or actress who came to our set he had done a play with, a movie with, a TV show with, or had slept with. He was just a very social guy. Is that about right, Holt? H. McCallany It is. Just to add something to what Warren just said, he talked about him being one of the most present actors that you’ll ever meet. He’s also—and this is something that I really admire about Stacy—he’s also one of the most economical. He does exactly what you need to do and it’s very clear and it’s very precise and there isn’t a lot of unnecessary extraneous stuff going on.

    belfast film festival 1st-9th APRIL 2020 :o wat*esd ev! Awat* adi _ ck m8hed 20 selly raby kane 1 OUR FUNDERS INTRODUCTION For more than 20 years we have celebrated the creativity, politics and joy film brings. We have witnessed with pride the growth of the indigenous filmmaking sector; hosted exciting ‘movie star’ guests; showcased brilliant international filmmaking talent; and shared thousands of diverse stories and cultures with you, our audience. Over the coming decade we will do it all again, re-energised and excited by the wealth of talent and love of film that surrounds us. Michele Devlin. Festival Director From Belfast to the World When I grew up in Belfast, there was no film festival. I was passionate about movies, and visually hungry, but there was no annual event to feed my hunger. I went searching elsewhere, and have ended up working with some of the greatest ACCOMMODATION OFFICIAL MEDIA people in cinema – Tilda Swinton, Jane Fonda, Sean Connery, etc. – but I think back to the 70s and 80s and imagine what more we could have achieved as movie PARTNER PARTNERS lovers and makers if we’d had a film festival. Thankfully we’ve seen brilliant changes in our society since then. Peace has returned, new populations have moved to our city, and we now have world class film studios and programme makers. The quality of our lives has improved and our horizons have opened. Film is the great horizon-opener. Since its birth 20 years ago, the Belfast Film VENUE Festival has had a centrifugal imagination.

At the age of 25, Julio is a seven-year pro.

Julio Jr. won the WBC title with a 12 round unanimous against previously undefeated defending champion Sebastian Zbik in his last fight on June 4. After the fight, Dan Rafael wrote on ESPN.com [excerpts]: Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., the greatest and most popular fighter in Mexican history, will be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. But before making his way to Canastota, N.Y., to participate in that piece of history, he was ringside at Staples Center for another piece of family history. His oldest son, 25-year-old Chavez Jr., won a world title in the same city where Chavez Sr. had won his first championship and in the same building where he won his 107th and final professional fight in 2005 (headlining a card his son also fought on).
