Rolling sound. Action.

I'm Oliver Trevena here with Young Hollywood, sitting on the set of Training Day with this legendary man, Bill Paxton. Cheers, Oliver. I mean, what an amazing show. Huge production. Been having a lot of fun. Uh, I didn't think I'd be suiting up for another show, but it's been fun and I've got this great co-star, Justin Cornwell.

I feel like I know Bill. Like, he's an uncle I've had in my life somewhere in the background talking to me. Right, right. He is. He is. You know he is. You can hear him. But it's just one of those kinds of things, I've been watching him since I can remember. His career is longer than my life. Right, right, right. So it's just one of those kinds of things, he's, he's a great mentor to have. He's been delightful to work with and a lot of fun.

They've done this whole role reversal. So, he's the trainee and I'm the, I'm the old, old guy, you know. I'm kinda, I'm kinda describing it as old young buck. Training Day.

Hi guys, this is Katrina Law. We are on the set of Training Day and I'm about to give you a tour of our wonderful, uh, set, set. So, this is the Robbery Homicide Division. Robbery Homicide Division. Where the cops who generally follow the rules, this is where they, yeah. This is where they function. The mystery that we have on set is this sock.

Oh, it's mine.

You have great style though.

Yeah. You know what they say. Smooth sock. Move on. Let's move on.

And this is the home of the SIAS Division. Oh, yes. I love this. This would be my home. This could be my home.

Yeah, it's pretty kush, huh?

Yeah, it's great.

We all feel very excited about Training Day. We feel like it's, it's, it's a show that's gonna be very entertaining and, uh, these characters I think are gonna be well embraced.

You play Tommy. Is he's a, kinda a goodie two shoes but a bit of a baddie too?

Yes. Like, follows the orders. He's, um, rough around the edges as far as a detective goes. He was a professional surfer. Right. Um, in a past life and,

Which you could never, ever guess.

You could never get. Yeah, you'd never guess. You'd never guess. And, um, he kinda looks up to, uh, Frank a little bit. I think he enjoys the thrill of watching him in action. Right, right.

Frank Rourke that I'm playing, you know, he's, he's very demonstrative, he's quick-witted, he's an instigator. He's an iconoclast so he's, he's screwing with everybody and kinda an old school cop who doesn't mind bending the rules to get the job done.

The thing about Kyle is he's so hopeful, he's so optimistic but he also harbors like a darkness because of his, his father and because of the things that he's seen in his life it, it, it allows him to kind of go into this really deep place. And, and I have a lot of that in my life. So, you know, finding those attributes in Kyle was easy for me. It's kinda already there.

Rebecca and Frank. Obviously Frank, Bill Paxton. It's, you know, amazing the partnership that you guys have and the back story.

For Rebecca, Frank Rourke who's played by Bill Paxton is the inspiration and the guideline for her life. Not only is he her savior, but she looks up to him as a father figure and then also in a way, just someone who she wants to be and who she wants to emulate in life. But I, I do think there are moments where she looks at him and she goes, you know, if I go too far, that might be who I become. So, I think there are times where she tries to pull back but I think she's, I think she's already in the trenches. So, this is our weapons cache. We have all sorts of shenanigans in here.

Oh my word. What are these? Are these like grenades? In, in the small time that I've known you, you strike me as having some similarities to Rebecca. Am I right with this or not?

Uh, unfortunately I think I have a lot in common with Rebecca.

Okay. I was right. I was right. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah.

Do you really, in real life, you really mean it? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Next time I interview you on the boat, I'll be wearing that.

Yes. Yes. You know, well, it gives you that little swagger.

Is that how cops walk?

Yeah, just like this. Mhm.

That's good. Yeah. I, I'm not doing it as well.

We also have a pretty cool pool table. The funny thing is that Bill Paxton is actually a really good pool player. Okay. But the problem is is the table is actually slanted from the floor. Ah. Nothing worse. Nothing worse. Just watching him get frustrated as he's trying to play the game, knowing that the shot should be going in. The shot. One of the shot. Whoa. Thank you. A shark.

And it's called Training Day. I have to ask. What in life, apart from acting, have you spent a lot of time training at?

Oh, well, um, music. Um, art. I was a portrait artist, charcoal work for, for years and years and a lot of music. I play, I play piano, a little bit of guitar. I sing and do all that kinda stuff. You gotta do it all when you're a cowboy now.

What? Apart from, obviously, acting, what have you spent a lot of time training in?

Well, you know, my, most of my childhood was, was, um, sports. Baseball, basketball. I wrestled in high school, um, I think I was wrestling at like 135. Wow. You know, I was really small. You know what I mean? And it helps now. For the fighting.

It does.

It helps now. It helps now. When you've got to pick up a big Russian gangster. Don't go back to the hospital. Exactly. It kinda helps out having a little bit of training.

I trained really hard to be a bartender to stay alive in LA but I don't love it. I don't not love it cause it's good money and it's a good job, you know, in the interim and stuff like that.

I bet you're a really talkative bartender.

I wasn't actually.

Now, you weren't. I was. Oh. I thought you were like, what do you want to drink? What's your favorite color? What movie do you watch today?

Yeah. How's your night going? Oh, it's pretty good, you know. You look like a, um, a purple drink kinda guy. Yeah. Oh. Oh. Easy on that. Woah. And then, um,

Too much.

Mhm. And then I'll drink it.

And then you drink it. And then, uh, I'll take advantage of you later and. What's your telephone number?

We all feel very excited about Training Day. It really is invigorating. That's it. That's it. That's it. Really good, guys. Give it up for.

Yeah, it's just something about being with a group of people working together in a concerted effort to make a film and I love that. I love that. I, I came from the crew. Right. So I still kinda have a crew head in a way and, uh. Yeah. So anyway, check it out. Training Day. Training Day. Coming to a theater or drive-in near you. Oh, and on television as well. Better watch.
