Summary
Nicholas Braun joins Click and Tell to talk about his upcoming film The Sheep Detectives, a murder mystery comedy set in the English countryside with an all-star cast including Hugh Jackman, Bryan Cranston, Emma Thompson, Hong Chau, and more. Braun shares why the movie is surprisingly hilarious, how it almost makes sheep farming look appealing, and what it was like acting alongside CG sheep, puppets, and stand-ins throughout production. He discusses director Kyle Balda’s detailed storyboards and mock-ups that helped bring the animated world to life, praises Bryan Cranston’s emotional performance, and explains how his character evolves from a nervous “Greg-y” cop into a respected detective. Nicholas also jokes about co-star Nicholas Galitzine’s blond hair before ending the interview with a few sheep jokes. 00:00 Greg-y Cop Intro 00:22 Why The Sheep Detectives Is So Funny 00:48 Filming in the English Countryside 01:07 Working With Hugh Jackman, Bryan Cranston & Emma Thompson 01:58 The Emotional Side of CG Sheep 02:33 Acting With Puppets and Animation References 03:57 Building His Detective Character Arc 06:24 Nicholas Galitzine Hair & Crush Talk 06:54 Sheep Jokes and Wrap Up Hosted on Acast.
