Like on screen.
I know I've I've seen some stuff about um, you know, when I was young, when I was his age and stuff, people doing the comparisons and there there is a lot of similarities for sure.

Uh, well, we shoot primarily about 45 minutes outside the city. I mean it was snowing almost every day. There was a lot of snow.
Amazing.
But yeah, uh usually, you know, between takes, I mean cause TV goes so fast. There's not really much time to do stuff so you're kind of running to to get ready for the next little bit and um catching up with people as you can. But Vancouver is an amazing city. It's beautiful.
