John Leguizamo jokes from Smoke, he watched porn for the first time as an investigation into porno
Apple TV+’s Smoke De cast learned about fire hazard and safety, while she also led to an unconventional NSFW role research.
During an exclusive interview with US Weekly“ John Leguizamo And Anna Chlumsky Think about the surprising challenges to be in the show.
“When I did a scene for the show with the dog that is set on fire, they had a real fire. I was scared. It was really frightening,” Leguizamo, 64, reminded the episode of Friday, July 18. “The heat that comes out – it burns you, even if you are about 10 feet distance and it gives you respect for fire.”
Chlumsky, 44, meanwhile, used personal experience to help shape her role and added: “My father was a chef. So in the restaurant I grew up in the kitchen of a restaurant. I often and so burned. But for me it is the tool and the teaching of your children about the tool.”
She continued: “But in this way – although it is real – they are still special effects. We don’t harm anyone. I don’t like it that way. I get more careful around it.”
Before being thrown SmokeLeguizamo said he had a rating for fire. “I like to do fires – don’t set places on fire – but I love fireplaces and fire pits and I love to do that,” he joked before he shared the lessons he learned. “I have the little blanket they sell. I love that little blanket that helps to extinguish fires. It made me respect for fire.”
Chlumsky noticed that smoke made her more aware of how people had to use fire to harm others and say: “It made me a little more aware. It also made me much more cynical in a certain sense. If you now see a fire on the news, I am immediately like,” Arson. “
Inspired by the Podcast “FireBug”, Smoke Also stars Taron Egerton, Jernee Smollett, Rafe Spall And Greg Kinnear and tells the story of the infamous Californian fire power John Leonard Orr. ORR was a fire brigade captain and arson that was convicted of serial arson and four counts of murder. It is believed that he has set nearly 2,000 fires in a 30-year arson, making him the most productive serial arsonist in American history. He has maintained his innocence, but has made a plea that led him to be released in 2002.
“I knew John – or the original man who put the fires in the 90s. He was the prominent arson,” said Leguizamo Us. “In the end it was that he was only the expert because he put the fires, killed dozens of people, burned millions of dollars in ownership and would never have stopped if he had not been caught.”
Leguizamo credited maker Dennis Lehane To raise the story Smoke.
“It’s a fascinating story and what Dennis did, it’s even better because he used it as a springboard,” he continued. “But I think what he has done with it is even more exciting and interesting. He brings all these complex characters that he throws in the mix. It’s so nice.”
From the murder of Gabby Petito to the Rest -Tragedy, many real crime documentaries will be on our way in 2025. Hulu announced in February the release of Last Take: Rest and the story of Halyna, which was accused two years after actor Alec Baldwin of unchanging men’s clothing in January 2023 […]
Friday’s episode finally introduced Us To the character of Leguizamo, which was previously linked to arson Dave (Egerton) before wondering if his colleague established the fires himself. Esposito is not who expected Michelle (Smollett) to meet when visiting his trailer – just to discover Dave’s former partner who rents it out for people to have sex in it.
“He is always off the rails. That is what I like about him. He is so broken and defeated man. He is a loser,” Leguizamo joked. “Loser with a capital L. I love losers because I feel that I can relate to it. We can all relate to people who are broken. We are all a bit broken. But then you go to therapy and you repair yourself.”
Leguizamo said it was ‘nice’ that such a chaotic character was built for the show.
“It’s about trying to keep [up with] All things that are going on in his life. His divorce and then he lost his job. He is brutal, so now he has to rent his trailer for people to have sex and he films it. He is actually a porn director, “the actor continued.” I have done a lot of research. I am very method, so I started studying porn. Not for myself but for the character. “
Leguizamo joked: “I’ve never seen it before. I’ve never seen porn until this show. I’m sorry, I sacrificed myself for Dennis Lehane.”
New episodes of Smoke are released on Apple TV+on Friday.
