Stanley found it difficult to adjust to languages and driving in England. He's not used to conventions and this is his second, one and he didn't know anything about it. But he attended one in in Philadelphia. Exciting actor's dream for 8 hours.
Hayley says it helps with playing characters she likes, but do get some positive and rude comments playing the villains.
Stanley watches food shows, he's obsessed with them. Hayley likes to watch Stan cooking and he likes it when she does tha. What in some macabre way!! ha. He wants to do a travelogue where can travel and talk of food.
Hayley worked with Chris and Leander Deeny, who was so slight in composure compared to Chris, worked with him, lost weight. Leander watched Chris and copied Chris's moves and then they superimposed his face onto Leander's body. Chris's scene was funny, to get right the height for her, it was surreal as he was squatting. Then he had a deep voice for a slight man.
Dr Epstein talked to Steve becoming father figure. The chemistry between Stanley and Chris was great and Chris has a great sense of humour, excited to do it. Stanley was insulted at first to be playing a 70 year old man. It was funny and a great experience, stayed friends. Chris is king of games especially, charades, but Stanley wouldn't tell kids about the games as they were inappropriate.
There were no 'chemistry' auditions for Hayley, only eight pages of dialogue, hair, make up and last scene, a fight sequence, she also loaded and unloaded a gun. That was intimidating, didn't think she'd hear from them again. Then 3 weeks later she got the part of Peggy Carter.
She met Chris at Shepperton with Sebastian Stan and was in the film. Stanley's didn't have to audition, they just asked if he wanted the part. He had a German accent and studied it for 3 years in high school like 75 years ago. Stanley's obsessed with the 70 numbers, me thinks! ha. He listened to a dialect coach and his accent was based on Gunter Grass (German novelist and playwright) it was based on his accent, could understand him, his accent was thick, but not too thick.
Hayley's fighting ability took a lot of confidence and little skill, "quite a few stuntmen were hurt in the making of Peggy Carter". She practised the first scene with the 'guy in the green suit' in season 1 when he comes out of the cupboard and she hits him "in the balls." The fight scenes are all choreographed like a dance. so you feel safe when doing it. Gave perks up in the morning with all that energy.
She was in Agents of Shield as well as other TV. Saying there were a few other jobs where she just turned up and do the best you can and go home and do the next best thing, on being asked if she thought of her job and role. No, it was just a job to her, no views/opinions on character and that's it. Not a very good attitude for an actor to have in my opinion, for a character/actor that's revered by so many (not me) that you have nothing to say about it, nor did any research on it or her character and have any views to share about it, like many others do when they play a character they love and for so long! They have so much to say and bring forward about how must they enjoyed it, but that was boring of her! Acting is more than just a job, there's a lot to think about to bring into a character to make it all round and real
Marvel Company president called and asked her if was interested in a spin-off and Peggy came from there. She keeps on popping up. Hayley got a text from Chris; sent her texts when filming her funeral scene and he was so asd she died and she told him to keep away from her niece and she was filming in London.
Stanley would like Dr Erskine being revived and cooking and return as the doctor and Hayley in a show about chemistry and food!
Fan Q&A
Their fave roles in careers today. Hayley: Howard's End based on Barbara?? Schaffer's work. Emma Thompson called her up and her character of Margaret was relatable and real. Good experience to work with that sort of writing.
Stanley loved Devil Wears Prada, had a caustic sense of humour and Nigel was fun and extreme. Hayley said fashion Peggy has sense of it. Stanley's pink hair etc not very comfortable. Hayley saying filming is restrictive, she only wear clothes she can rough it in. Her fave Peggy outfit were the loose pants. She renewed licence at the DMV and had all the gear on, the spanx etc. Her photo for her driving licence is Peggy Carter; which fits in well.
Hayley and Captain America weren't frozen, could they be together, so busy been amazing had little time for him. She saw something in him, kindred spirit before he transformed. They would've had adventures together. Captain America introduced Peggy to her husband. Filmed the Captain American Winter Soldier picture on her bedside table, originally it was Peggy's husband and kids. Her husband was just an extra, an extra wouldve launched his career as Peggy's hubby, so had to be edited out cos they didn't know she was married then. So still had possibility of who she ends up marrying. would it have been such a bad thing for an extra to have gotten a career break. God the movies, actors and the establishment are as greedy as ever, holding people back in such a mean way! How did she and others get her start. Sorry not a fan of hers, never was. Just posting this talk for those who are! The best thing about Agent Carter was James D'Arcy, now her's a super kind and down-to-earth actor and human being!! Only reason worth watching!
Stanley which film was his fave Undercover Blues (1993). An extreme film comically and was his wife's fave, she was 10 at the time. It was shot in New Orleans for a few months??
Hayley if she'd like to be the first female Doctor Who. She doesn't want to play her, but respects it. She's a big fan of Phoebe Walle-Bridge, big fan of and was talk of her being the next one, but she didn't get it. Actors gets to reinvent themselves and the part, which is brilliant. Well she had an opinion on that.
Which period of time for fashion would they have lived in? Hayley was an '80s kid and loved Madonna, the big hair, stonewashed jeans, leather jacket. Stanley loved the '20s-40's, interesting out of the Victorian era and elegant and beautiful stuff.
Stanley said he always has input with the costume designer in Hunger Games, collaboration, it's good to have designer with clear vision of what they want. The nicest, simplest costumes a long time ago were in Road to Perdition, costumes were beautiful, built from the fabric designer had chosen. Tom Hanks fabric was made for his suits in Upstate New York.
She liked the scene Captain America when she was in the pub in her red dress, Joe wanted alternatives, so she was flirting with him, and with Bucky! Agent Carter the series was more physical, season 1 diner scene, gets to hit someone on the head with a tray. A lot of fight and action sequences. Shooting the shield in Captain America filmed with Dominic and Chris and she knew Dominic from years before, good to have laugh between scenes and trust each other. A sense of responsibility, training for it, but Chris not so much into the .
Hayley and season 1 with the ghost of her brother, wanted to explore where she came from. Support for her to live again in the future if there was some way to bring her back, she'd want to explore the relationship with Edward Jarvis (yay James!!) fans liked him in season 1, so they brought him back in season 2. He and Peggy had a working relationship and knew each other, great wit and wordplay. She wished to live until 96 and would would love to see Peggy through the years as in the '60s civil rights movement, shoulder pads in the '80s like Working Girl.
