Catching Up With ‘The Consultant’ Cast

So guys, so good to have you all here. We definitely don't want to spoil anything for our viewers, but we want you guys to have the chance to talk up your new show, the consultant and talk about what it's like on set. So now I want to start with you, why should people check out this show? I think this show is so exciting and confounding and destabilizing and I know the scripts really well and when I watched it I would my my jaw was still on the floor so I think it's really a show that it's originally unique and I'm really excited for people to see it. Alright, Brittany Amy, what do you guys think? Oh, I think that the show is gonna be something that makes people think and just something that keeps everybody on their toes. I know that when I saw the pilot for the first time, I kept thinking about the show, I couldn't really get it out of my head. That was kind of a first for me, out of any project I've ever done. Yeah amy this show, I just thought the trailer is kind of bonkers in terms of where the, what the boss is like, oh yeah, it's bonkers city and the problem is it's difficult to talk about without giving away any spoilers and I think that's kind of the mark of a good show is that every episode is is a full of cool stuff, disturbing stuff and I think that this show will not disappoint in that regard. Um and it's definitely a little unhinged whatever. That's awesome. That's good television. I mean you guys all star in the series alongside the amazing christoph waltz normally. I kind of think it's lazy to ask anybody what it's like to work with another actor, but now I'll start with you. What was it like working with christoph waltz? One of the best actors on the planet. That was so lazy of you? I can't believe I'm actually horrified by your lady and the interview is over. Um it was like working with little bits like playing on a basketball team with Lebron James, you're just like, how did I get here? Thank God I have this guy, you know, and anytime you got a compliment from him, it was like Lebron James telling you you did a good jump shot, that's amazing. And Brittany, we of course know you from the White Lotus in the first season. Was there anything about your experience may be on the white Lotus that helped you shooting this film? I think they were just completely different ball games. I think when I filmed the white Lotus, it was kind of like surviving in the first time of ever filming a television show in Covid and also living with your co workers for three months, which was fun and magical and everything that you can imagine it would be. Um and so this was a whole different ball game. Really fun and I I got to play an adult. I like being able to do that you know that's fun. Yeah yes playing adult very a lot of fun. Amy obviously we remember you in the hit film, the menu did being in a dark comedy about a restaurant run by a creepy chef. Maybe prepare you for being in a dark comedy about a comedy about a company being run by a creepy consultant maybe. Yes, I think so, I think it helped as far as it surround yourself with creeps, I just love creep favorite, that's my king. Um No I think that it definitely helped in that the tones are very specific I don't think you know, I I don't think they're they have a ton of similarities other than that but I think that it's like threading a needle you know you just have to be very specific about how you approach the scenes and how everything comes together and I think they did such a great job with this um but yeah there is like a little something that draws me to really disturbing storylines I guess. Well Amy having said that where do you, what do you think is the worst place to work comp wherein the consultant or hawthorne, the restaurant in the menu definitely hawthorne because we all die at the end be seen but at least at the end of season one there are live people that make it through so but yeah I mean maybe it's a slower burn though at camp where which may be worse, you know? Okay, okay Brittany have sent to you, would you rather work at camp? Where are the white lotus? Oh you know what? Oh I think I'd rather work at the white loaded who comes in and out of their hotel room. Who are they bringing in what's happening? It would just be fun for me to watch and if somebody was rude to me I'd probably do something to their suitcase to Yeah, I mean jennifer Coolidge is not working at comp where that changes everything. I mean I would love to be in her suit that same, same nat in the last 10 years now you've starred in movies like the fault in our stars, paper towns, the intern and it's also been 15 years since the premiere of the Naked Brothers band that Nickelodeon show that started your career and now you're starring in this series on amazon prime and you're only 28. So do you ever sometimes zoom out and realize how much success you've achieved at such a young age? I feel I genuinely genuinely feel so lucky because I, because I'm obsessed with with music and I'm obsessed with acting and the fact that I get to do it and like I'm be a part of the show with people like this and then I'm you know just put out a song my brother and I'm doing a play right now and like you know the hardest times for me are the in between times, you know, you're just sitting around and you're like, you know, I I love being creative and the success stuff, but it comes and goes and it's not really up to me, but but I just I just want to keep, keep doing this the rest of my life, I feel so lucky.
