Hey guys, Niki Novak here for Young Hollywood at San Diego Comic-Con in the Nickelodeon suite with the Grimster. How do you do? You guys could be like a band at this point.
We are a band.
We can be a band with like a horn section.
We're so bad.
Are you the horn section?
I'll be the horn section.
David will be the horn section.
You come with your rhythm section over here.
We're in Nick of Cause.
Oh, I know you can sing. I know you can sing. The last time I think I I think last year we were here, but we didn't see you. And the last time you're in the Young Hollywood studio, he, I don't know if you guys know this, but he recited the entire Courage, you know, speech from Wizard of Oz. You're like, yeah, we heard it all before. We know. What's your latest?
Hamilton. Yeah. It's like a hip-hop rap version of the story of Alexander Hamilton.
I just want to make sure we can hear you. Can we hear him?
Yeah, you can. You can hear me. Of course you can hear me. Of course I went to theater school, dammit.
Anyway, in the spirit of uh courage, I wanted to ask you guys what's the most courageous thing you've had to do on the set of Grimm?
Oh, well, there was a zombie apocalypse, I don't know if you remember that, but uh we were on the containers and I and Roberto Barba, one of our show runners, main directors, he's like, yeah, Bri, you're going to have to just, you know, want it to look really real, so I want you to climb up, you know, the seven-foot high container and then get on a ladder and then jump over maybe three and a half feet, but we can't have wires because we want it to be really real. And he's like, you can do that, right? Yeah, yeah, I can I can totally do that. And you get up there. I got up there and the second this this my stunt girl let go of my hand, I'm like, oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. And then actually, like, barely made it into the show. I'm like, I risked my life for a major moment.
Anybody else? Anybody else?
I had to hang off I had to hang off like a an apartment building, the fire escape of like a, I don't know, a five-story apartment building.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, but it was fun though, it felt like it felt like zip lining.
Oh, nice.
I was like to hang on a wire.
So you enjoyed it. Yeah. You know, the word everybody's using is vengeance for the next season. How do you guys think it's going to be a fresh take on the show this next season? Vengeance.
Well, so my mom, I okay, in the first thank you. Uh, the first scene of season five, like my mother's head has been taken away, my dead girlfriend's been swept away. So just a light day, you know. And my only like kind of like sister protege's kidnapped. So it's bad bad place bad start, you know. Um, so
Yeah, you got your health.
I got my health. So yeah, yeah, I got it. It's good. Things are good. Things are light. It's a dark place.
Yep, everybody's saying the show is going to be completely different. Like from this point on, it's not going to be the same.
It is it is getting it is getting, yeah, we were talking about reboot as like a good description of what's happening, but we are kind of harking back to like season one and and and stories about the keys and the coins and and a lot of the darkness that we saw in season one is coming back. Even stylistically, we're it's going to get a a darker sort of tint to the whole thing.
I saw David on your on Twitter. You were talking about like I think like consumerism and how like people try to sell you things.
Oh my gosh, did I get political?
No, you just said that you know, of all the things people try to sell you, the earplug is the most provides the most contentment for you. How so? And what for the rest of you provides an enormous amount of contentment as as you're a place to go?
Earplugs is provided. I said everything promises contentment, the earplug has delivered on that promise. Um, well, honestly, that came from because we shoot a lot of nights and like circadian rhythms are just gone, kind of thrown to the wind and and uh I earplugs have saved me. Like, do that, put on a Yeah, eye mask, I can sleep. And you know what make you know what make the best earplugs? Bunchies.
No.
Well, you said it.
What?
Never mind.
No, I think uh we were just saying that walking over here like we uh we feel good, you know, and we just are lucky. We're lucky and we're happy and we live in a great city and get to do what we love. And as old as we are to still be on Young Hollywood.
Yeah. And we're sitting in this. Thank you Young Hollywood. Scale of one to ten, I'm going to go down the line how big a nerd are you since we are at Comic-Con? Oh boy. I

I'm going to be honest and I'm going to say about a six.
About a six, okay.

You're just cool.
Yeah. Cool.
I'm not nerdy. Not at all.
No, I don't. Zero. You're a schmuck. Come on. When I was 16, I played Dungeons and Dragons, so it kind of like it averages out.
