  • And the series that I'm here for, "ZeroZeroZero,"

  • we shot it on three different continents,

  • like, five different countries,

  • and the last country we were in was Senegal in Dakar,

  • and we have this scene that takes place

  • at a Senegalese wrestling match.

  • And he was on set doing the wrestling,

  • and he's like, you know --

  • He's, like, the most famous guy in Senegal,

  • so everyone was so stoked he was there.

  • But he is enormous.

  • I mean, you could, like, run at him at like 50 miles per hour

  • and hit him, and you would just fall over,

  • and he, like, wouldn't even notice.

  • -Do you -- You're trained in stage combat is what I heard.

  • -I am, yeah. -What does that mean?

  • -Well, so, I went to acting school,

  • and we took a lot of stage combat classes.

  • And by the time we graduated, I was certified in

  • unarmed knife, rapier and dagger, and single-sword combat.

  • -Yeah, man. Yeah. We could do it.

  • -What do I do? -Okay, well, stand up.

  • -Okay. And you won't miss or anything, right?

  • -So -- Okay, so, when you're throwing

  • a fake punch on camera... -Uh-huh.

  • -...the camera has, like, no depth perception.

  • It's a 2-D image.

  • So I could throw a punch three feet from your face,

  • and as long as we're lined up correctly

  • and, like, the reaction --

  • -I'm sorry. This jazz is distracting.

  • Sorry. I've never been in a fight at a jazz club.

  • -I was jiving on it. -So as long as...

  • -Sorry. -Okay.

  • -...I'm in front of you, I could punch

  • three feet from your face, and as long as you react correctly,

  • it will look like a real punch. -Oh, okay.

  • -So if I throw a punch and then you turn your head...

  • -This way? -...that way...

  • Here, you stand this way. -Okay, gotcha.

  • -And then you turn your head that way, and you got to, like,

  • make a noise like I punched you really hard.

  • Okay, ready? -Unh!

  • -Yeah. -Yeah.

  • -Exactly. -Ready?

  • -Okay, ready? -What's up, dude?
