I had ridden before, literally, I mean pretty much my first big film moving to L.A. She did. It is. And also, you know, she’s – Allison is a character that has two kids, so there’s – you really got to move slowly and be really patient with that, you know, if you’re going to try to partner with that. Richardson-Whitfield: Well, you know, it’s funny. So, the show,” you know, and you’re sort of you know waffling and trying to just fill space. But yeah, she’s coming back and coming back with a vengeance. And I’m just wondering which ones you enjoyed reading in the scripts more as they were being developed, the slow progression that finally is starting to pay off between Jack and Allison, the more combustible Jo and Zane, or the tentative baby steps that are happening between Fargo and Dr. Holly Marten? I think that I’ve actually – our characters have become even more alike as the seasons have gone one. What’s something that people for both of you that people would be surprised to know about you? I’m going to tell you…. Ferguson: That’s actually difficult. See, that’s what I get for trying to be funny. The Bosun Cloud Exciter. While the timeline shift worked out well for your characters, it didn’t work out so great for them as a couple. We talked about the show’s many intriguing relationships; upcoming guest stars, and of course, how much fun they’re having on the show this season – among other things. Ferguson: Oh, Sal, hold up. He and Skaggs are – or he’s going to Warehouse 13 again, I believe, but I could be wrong, but I think that’s correct, and I don’t think anyone else is. I mean, that’s what I really liked about it, and that’s what actually Sal and I fought against really hard for a long time, because you know, the temptation is like, “Oh, they’re together. Those two go through the – they go through it, you know?
What was the name of the movie, Sal? Richardson-Whitfield: Oh, that’s how you do it, okay. Richardson-Whitfield: Oh, that’s a good one. Do you know? Ferguson: And I made – and that definitely attributes to Sal. So, I think that we’ve – our characters actually have come much closer and she’s very much like me now. Ferguson: Yeah, the other part was sort of the timeline reboot and how it energized….
I really want to work with my friends at this point doing stuff that I want to do. I really kind of want to talk about a lot of detailed stuff, but I know we can’t do that.
It is not an elected post in this particular community. You know, it is something that you can mark the passage of time by because it has been six years and who you were six years ago and who you are now, they’re very different people. Ferguson: It was the one stunt I’ve ever said, “You know what,” I’d been going through a rough time personally and I said, “You know what, I don’t know the scene. Richardson-Whitfield: Yes, which might be a very Eureka – I mean, I…. It’d be like this year, (Ian), who is – oh, he was pulling (focus), he was second camera, he’s now our operator, and it was huge for us. So, it’s sort of this – what I’m really looking forward to seeing is sort of everyone even next summer going, “Oh, my God. Go ahead, Colin. And to the extent, what Salli’s saying, it’s not only that you have to know how to do it on our show, I mean we’re a cable show, so you know we don’t have $4 million a week to get this stuff done. Richardson-Whitfield: Oh, I love it, lord over.
Ferguson: Yeah, and I’ve got to say, our fans are amazing. And it’s more, for me anyway, it was less about the actual skill of riding the horse and more about getting to know your horse. Go ahead, Colin. Follow him on Twitter.
The other thing that you do is you make it physical and you make personal, you know, with the science. And they’ve done a really good job of sort of having very real problems that you deal with in relationships that keep it, you know, both I guess affectionate and clear that there’s love there, but at the same time very clear that it’s not easy, and (life) is not easy and relationships aren’t easy, and I appreciate the realism of that. It went so well, that Ferguson and Richardson-Whitfield went a full half-hour beyond their allotted time! But – and they’re all – you know, they’re fantastic actors. Richardson-Whitfield: And now I’m mad because I have to do – but I just – you know, I – but at the time I felt that, you know, why wouldn’t this really intelligent woman, why wouldn’t she have gone all the way and gotten her medical degree. I might also have a soft spot for it given they used the ending of it as part of the finale where Zoe and Jack see themselves. Okay, we need everyone moving on the same cue.
So, jokes are not – you know, pranks – you can do pranks on a feature, not on a TV show. Do you ever get fans coming up to you and asking you strange questions about the science and stuff on the show, like the…, Ferguson: No, I get – I mean, when fans come up to me it’s always like, “Are you the Dirty Jobs guy,” you know? Sal, do you remember any episodes in particular? Richardson-Whitfield: Me would be no. Great. He kept biting on me and…, …and I was like, “Is it me?” And I was like – and then the trainer was like, “No, that’s what he does. Knives Out: Rian Johnson Out Cozies Agatha Christie! And that’s something that is sort of a – something I’m working on trying to make happen and would be my ultimate dream, because I loved her as an icon and I loved to sing and I always loved her musicals, so – and that’s also why I’ve been pushing our show. But, that’d be funny, wouldn’t it. I’m going to – you know, I’m going to go over here. It’s – it really is project by project, scene by scene in, you know, what you can really do. No…. Ferguson: You were pissed off, yeah, and now you’ve made yourself a doctor and now you’re screwed. Is it Haleakala? But, yes, I did steal my cutout and it is literally sitting in the corner of their playroom. What happened this year? He is first seen in the season 4 premiere, when five Eureka citizens get teleported back into 1947. And she wanted me to ask, what is the funniest thing you can recall that’s gone wrong on the set so far this season? Richardson-Whitfield: But – you know, but I didn’t think I’d be here this long, but…, Ferguson: No, exactly. Okay, this is what they need.”. It’s the only way to make it through. Salli, what did you do with your big cutout of Allison that you took from Café Diem last year?
Richardson-Whitfield: Well, we’ll sound really good in the studio. Ferguson: Yeah, and so also what’s happened is they’ve – there was a decision made, you know, to write me lighter because I was just getting too tired and really bored at the sound of my own voice, unlike you know sort of this (unintelligible), which clearly I’m not for the sound of my own voice. Ferguson: We can’t really – I mean, yeah, we do little things with each other and sort of mess with each other a little bit, but we take it so we don’t have a lot of time to get done what we have to get done…, Ferguson: …so I mean the pranks are such, where like if we were doing a serious scene and somebody pulled a prank and make us wreck a take, I mean as much as we have a ton of fun, you definitely have a look on everybody’s face of like, “Really?
