PRESENTATION
Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to
the Sons of Tucson conference call. At this time all participants are in
a listen-only mode. Later we will conduct a question and answer session.
Instructions will be given at that time. As a reminder this conference
is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your
host,
Tra-Mi Callahan. Please go ahead.
CallahanHi, it’s Tra-Mi Callahanfrom Fox, and welcome to the Sons of
Tucson conference call with executive producer, Justin Berfield, and
series star, Tyler Labine, who plays Ron Snuffkin on the show. Thanks
for joining us this morning and just a reminder that Sons of Tucson
premieres Sunday, March 14 at 9:30/8:30c on Fox, and I’m going to go
ahead and get this call started. Greg, you can take over.
T. LabineIt’s serious business.
J. BerfieldI know.
T. LabineCrazy, man. …
Moderator: Your first question comes from the line of David Martindale
from Hearst newspaper. Please go ahead.
D. Martindale: Hi, guys. Thanks for doing this call. I enjoyed the pilot.
T. LabineThank you.
D. Martindale: Tyler, good question for you. An actor once told me that
one of the things he looks for in a good character is an interesting
name. He said that if he’s got a character that’s got an interesting
name or a weird name he’s halfway home in figuring out what his
character’s all about, and I was thinking with a name like Ron Snuffkin,
is there anything to that theory? What do you think?
T. LabineYes, absolutely. I agree. I wouldn’t say halfway home with a
name, but it definitely inspires you to sort of delve into the character
a little bit. With a name like Ron Snuffkin immediately a few nicknames
spring to mind, like snuffleupagus, snuff’s enough, can’t get enough of
the snuff. You just think in little self-referential nicknames, and it
sort of lends itself to you figuring out the character, of being a
little bit …, little bit neurotic. Yes, I guess there’s a little
something to that, but I wouldn’t say half the work was done.
D. Martindale: Okay, fair enough.
T. LabineIt’s definitely a nice tab to grab onto in the beginning.
D. Martindale: There you go. What was it about the show and the premise
and the character that blew your skirt up and made you want to do it?
T. LabineWell, initially, it was obviously the writing and then the
name as we just went over, but the writing for the pilot was great, and
it definitely grabbed me right away, and obviously, the character is an
amalgam every sort of great slacker character that I’ve ever played,
that I’ve loved to play and have never been able to flesh out and turn
into a three-dimensional character, and these guys have taken that sort
of character and put him right in the forefront and made him a real
human being. I really appreciated that, so I grabbed onto that right
away, too.
D. Martindale: Cool, well, I’m going to let some other people ask
questions, but it’s been a pleasure. Thank you.
T. LabineGreat, thanks, man.
Moderator: Your next question comes from the line of April MacIntyre from
Monsters and Critics. Please go ahead.
A. MacIntyre: Hi, guys. Thanks for your time.
T. LabineHi, no problem.
J. BerfieldHi.
A. MacIntyre: I enjoyed the pilot as well, and I’ve got to understand how
did the kids dole out the money? You negotiate a $400/week salary or
$350 depending on who’s paying. How do they have the money? Explain that
to me.
J. BerfieldWell, we don’t really say for sure exactly how they have the
money, but in our minds we sort of figured that they have a stack of
cash that they have somewhere in the house that as they need it they go
out and disperse it for whatever needs they have.
T. LabineWhat I’ve always put together in my head is that the dad in an
attempt to sort of keep his kids out of foster care or social services
when he was in jail for this white collar crime was clever enough or
stupid enough to leave his children, yes, exactly as Justin just said, a
big stack of cash so they can stay out of trouble and go to their house
in Paloma Ridge or in Tucson ….
A. MacIntyre: Tyler, kids are annoying, and so you’re working for three
kids, and what’s even worse and annoying kids is when they have that
over you that they’re your boss, they’re your overlords. Which one of
the three is the most annoying to your character, Ron Snuffkin?
T. LabineDefinitely Gary, the middle kid, he’s like, and this isn’t
saying that wives everywhere are annoying, but very typically he’s the
counterpart to Ron. He’s sort of the wife or I’m the wife. I don’t know
what the … exactly because it’s very confusing, but definitely we’re
butting heads the whole series. Yes, power struggle with a 13-year-old,
lots of fun.
A. MacIntyre: Excellent. How many episodes are we going to see for the
first season?
J. BerfieldIt’ll be 13 including the pilot.
A. MacIntyre: Excellent. I’ll come back. Thank you.
T. LabineOkay, thank you.
Moderator: Next, we’ll go to the line of Nadya: … from Deadbolt.com.
Please go ahead.
Nadya: Hi, good morning guys, or afternoon. Thanks for coming on the
call. … we got to watch the pilot as well. It was pretty funny. Tyler,
this question’s for you. Aside from the financial incentive, you’ve
already mentioned about the money that Ron’s going to get from the boys
and it’s the unconventional proposal that they offer him, but it
attracts Ron, and what is it that attracts Ron aside from the money into
agreeing to the situation and sticking with it for as long as he does?
T. LabineThat’s a good question. I think initially, yes, the money is
the big allure, but then I think it’s money only, actually. There’s
nothing deeper about Ron wanting to go join with these kids and help
them out. It’s just the money, and he thinks it’s going to be temporary
as well, but I think the allure of future money coming in is the thing
that keeps him there, and then there are times with Ron I think this
sort of reluctant paternal figure sort of starts to take shape in Ron,
and I think he starts to learn from the boys, and he starts to sort of
feel needed from these children what he hasn’t had in his life. He
hasn’t felt that anybody really needs him for anything. I think that
could become a big draw for him, too, and also just a place to stay.
Nadya: Now, it’s seems like Robby, Gary, and Brandon, they’re pretty
smart kids, and they’re quite young. What nuggets of knowledge will Ron
try and instill in the boys, sort of a reciprocal relationship in that
way?
T. LabineWhat sort of knowledge am I going to try and instill in the
boys?
Nadya: Yes.
T. LabineI don’t know. I think Ron’s a bit of a dummy. Well, he’s not a
dummy. He just may not have the most sage words of wisdom for these
kids, but that’s what I’m saying. I think it’s this sort of reluctant
responsibility. It’s this reluctant father figure thing that’s coming
out of Ron that I don’t think he even really knew that he had. He
doesn’t really, I don’t think he even recognizes when he is being quite
responsible, and it’s hard to pick out moments that are actually
responsible in the show because, like I said, it’s sort of like the
blind leading the blind. It’s basically them just trying to stay out of
physical harm, so anything else that helps them out is sort of gravy,
the bonus. I don’t think Ron is capable or set to impart any wisdom on
these children.
Nadya: Following up on that, we have stealing money from kids, trying to
con an old lady, where does Ron draw the line, or does he even want to
sketch one?
T. LabineI don’t know. Justin, do you want to take one?
J. BerfieldI don’t know if there’s really anywhere that Ron does draw
the line.
T. LabineYes, it’s definitely sad to say. Look at what he’s doing. The
only thing that keeps him from being completely despicable is the fact
that he is sort of, as you get to know Ron and you get to know the boys,
you see that maybe there is something inside of Ron that’s awakening
that’s sort of enjoying this responsibility, but as far as where does he
draw the line with what he won't do, I think as long as he’s not going
to kill anybody, as long as nobody’s going to get really badly hurt,
he’s up for it. He’s game.
Nadya: Thanks, guys. We’ll come back.
T. LabineOkay, thank you.
Moderator: Your next question comes from the line of Paige Wiser from the
Chicago Sun Times. Please go ahead.
P. Wiser: Hi, guys. How are you?
J. BerfieldGood, how’re you?
T. LabineGood, how’re you?
P. Wiser: I wanted to ask about the recasting process because I remember
watching it last fall. Justin, was that difficult? Did you change a
whole lot about the pilot?
J. BerfieldWe actually didn’t change too much with the pilot when we
had to reshoot because of the recasting. It was just a decision that we
made to go a different direction with some of the characters, but the
pilot really remains the same. We punched up some scenes that we were
fortunate enough to be able to do because we were reshooting, but
nothing much really changed.
P. Wiser: Well, we love Matthew Levy because he’s a Chicagoan.
J. BerfieldHe’s a great kid.
T. LabineWe love Matthew Levy, too.
P. Wiser: What were you looking for in an oldest son?
J. BerfieldBecause we obviously needed one of the older kids to be the
complete opposite of Gary whereas Gary’s the driven, hard-edged type of
guy, Matthew’s character, Brandon, is he just sort of goes along with
the flow. He’s like a lover, not a fighter. He’s very trusting, like a
very trusting guy, his character.
P. Wiser: Is that how Matthew struck you in real life, or he just doing a
great acting job?
J. BerfieldHe’s a fantastic actor. He sort of resembles me. I remember
how I was when I was a child actor. He’s constantly asking questions.
He’s very curious about the whole process, and he’s always hanging out
with the crew, talking at them, seeing what they do, and asking
questions. I guess he’s very similar to Brandon in that sense. He’s a
very curious guy.
P. Wiser: Has he surprised you in any way?
J. BerfieldI’m not surprised. Just based on the casting process and
talking to him through the whole audition process, he’s a very
professional, smart kid. We couldn’t be happier with him.
P. Wiser: Thank you so much, guys.
J. BerfieldThank you.
Moderator: Your next question comes from the line of Steve Eramo from
Sci-Fi and TV Talk. Please go ahead.
S. Eramo: Hi, Tyler. Hi, Justin. Thanks for your time today.
T. LabineNo problem.
J. BerfieldThank you.
S. Eramo: Tyler, I wanted to ask you first off if maybe you could tell us
a little bit about your experiences shooting the pilot and maybe some of
the challenges to stepping into this role initially for you?
T. LabineYes, shooting the pilot was amazing. It was so much fun. It
was one of those instances where you get so much more out of the process
than you expected. I learned a ton from working with these kids. It was
amazing, and I learned sort of one of those very invaluable lessons is
how to stop being such a thinking, like, in my head actor working with
children. It was my refresher course. It was sort of just doing it.
Someone just pushes you in and you swim. … unjaded and not so
hypercritical of themselves, and you find yourself having genuine fun
and really getting sort of authentic performances out of them, and it’s
infectious, and it was really, really fun to do with those kids. That
was sort of my favorite thing about it. There were some downsides, but
it was very, very fun.
S. Eramo: Justin, just a followup question for you, from a creative
standpoint in your job with the show, what maybe have you enjoyed so far
working on Sons of Tucson would you say?
J. BerfieldI think I just enjoyed because for so long just purely being
in front of the camera you never got to see the whole process of
developing an idea for a script all the way through to filming it, and
for me just being to especially from the pilot where back in 2008 we
were developing this little inkling of an idea and then just selling it,
it’s just been eye-opening for me. I’m just so excited to be part of
something from the very beginning. For me personally for once, and I
love the whole casting process because I’ve been in those rooms on the
other end of the camera, and now I get to sit behind the camera and sort
of make …
T. LabineJudge.
J. BerfieldYes, judge.
T. LabineWe love it.
J. BerfieldIt never gets old. A lot of the other guys are, like, we’ll
sit out this casting session. I want to be in every single one. I love
the whole process.
S. Eramo: Good for you, that’s great. Listen, guys, thank you so much for
your time and best of luck and success with the show.
J. BerfieldThank you very much.
T. LabineThank you.
S. Eramo: Take care.
Moderator: Your next question comes from the line of Suzanne Lanoue from
TV MegaSite. Please go ahead.
S. Lanoue: Hi, thank you for taking our calls today.
T. LabineNo problem.
S. Lanoue: I was wondering how did the idea of the show come about?
J. BerfieldThe idea came up from our creators, Tommy Dewey and Greg
Bratman. They brought this idea to us way back when, and we just sort of
developed it from an idea to scripts. Finally, we took it to Fox because
I had some relationships there obviously, and they purchased it from us.
It was exciting. It was like our first scripted show that we sold as a
company at J2, and we couldn’t be happier with the people that we’re
working with and the two guys that wrote it.
S. Lanoue: That’s great. The idea, it’s like what they used to call high
concept, but it sounds funny just on the face of it. What show if you
could find a show, a sitcom or whatever to compare it to from the past,
what would be one pick?
J. BerfieldVisually and maybe tonally, everyone’s going to compare it
to Malcolm, but I think story wise you can’t really compare it to any
show that’s been out there. It’s a truly unique concept, and we’re
excited that Fox and everyone has a vision to see this through because
on the face of it, it is kind of crazy. It’s kind of out there, but they
were behind it from day one. It’s not really a concept that comes up too
much in the show, and it sort of naturally weaves its way into every
script, so it’s not like if someone tunes in four episodes into the
season that they’re going to be lost. It’s really easy to catch up on
it.
S. Lanoue: Right, and Tyler, you have a lot of fans out there who are
science fiction fans because of the shows you’ve been on. Anything you’d
like to say to them?
T. LabineYes, don’t expect any time traveling or demons in this show.
It’s a little more straightforward than that, but like Justin said, the
concept of the show, this high concept or whatever, it’s a running theme
on the show, but like he said, you don’t need to know exactly what’s
going on. It becomes more about just the relationship with this guy and
these children than the actual sort of hook, I guess. It’s an easy show
to just jump in and enjoy, but no flying, no demons.
S. Lanoue: All right, well, good luck with it. I hope it’s a big success.
T. LabineThank you.
J. BerfieldThank you very much.
Moderator: Your next question comes from the line of Alice Chapman-Nugent
from Times Courier newspaper. Please go ahead.
A. Chapman-Nugent: Hi, thanks, guys, for taking the call.
T. LabineNo problem.
J. BerfieldNo problem.
A. Chapman-Nugent: Tyler, I was wondering on the show what does Ron learn
from the boys?
T. LabineWhat does Ron learn from the boys? I could create many things,
but I think overall it’s sort of this reluctant paternal figure starts
to come and take shape in Ron that he really didn’t know that he had,
but I think he starts to relish it and starts to take sort of a bit of
pride in the fact that he thinks he actually might be a pretty good dad,
but … it just looks like a mess. It’s not exactly a Norman Rockwell
painting. I’ll put it that way. He’s doing the best he can, but I think
that’s the one thing he takes away the most is that maybe he actually is
pretty good at this parenting thing.
A. Chapman-Nugent: What was it like on the first day of the set with the
kids, and what was it like the last day of the pilot? That’s for both of
you, too, so you too, Justin.
J. BerfieldI think for us on the behind-the-camera guys for us the
first day is the most stressful day of all because everything you’ve
worked for comes down to this one moment, and it all begins right then
and there, and the last day, our situation is different because we had a
chance to shoot the pilot, and then we got to redo it after some
recasting, so I guess the first pilot when we ended it was sort of like
a breath of fresh air. We thought we’d finished. Everything went well.
Everything went according to plan, and from then on you just
immediately, for us, you get one moment of a breath of fresh air, and
then immediately we’re in editing, so it really didn’t end for us until
two months later.
T. LabineFor me it was excitement to start, and then when we finished
it was elation. When we initially shot the pilot, I couldn’t believe
what we did. What did that in, Justin, eight days?
J. BerfieldYes, eight days.
T. LabineEight days from the initial pilot shoot and a very ambitious
script and working with children, there were many potential pitfalls,
and we seemed to jump over all of them and have a really good time doing
it.
A. Chapman-Nugent: That’s great. Well, thank you, guys.
T. LabineNo problem.
Moderator: Your next question comes from the line of Simon Applebaum from
Tomorrow Will Be Televised. Please go ahead.
S. Applebaum: Yes, thank you. Justin, I’ve got two questions for you.
Entertainment Weekly came out with their review of the show this
morning. They liked it, and they used a term that was very interesting.
They called it, “nicely ratty,” your thoughts about that?
J. BerfieldI have not read that yet, but I think anytime Entertainment
Weekly says something positive about a show, we’re extremely thankful
for that.
S. Applebaum: That was a very unusual term they used.
J. BerfieldYes, but I have not even read that yet.
T. LabineNicely ratty?
S. Applebaum: Nicely ratty.
T. LabineI’ll take it.
J. BerfieldYes.
S. Applebaum: Justin, one of your former co-stars of Malcolm in the
Middle has done pretty well for himself. I’m a friend of Brian Cranston.
He’s won two straight Emmy awards for Breaking Bad. He’s best actor in a
drama, but he’s also directed some episodes, and he won a lot of kudos
for the second season opener last year. Some people thought it could
have been nominated for an Emmy award last year for that. He’s doing the
third season opener coming up later this month on AMC, and I’m wondering
since you’re now behind the camera as executive producer, have you
thought about directing episodes of the show?
J. BerfieldThe thought has not crossed my mind yet, but if we’re
fortunate enough to have some success and come back for a few more
seasons, I don’t know. Why not? Maybe one of these days I would, but I
have not thought about it yet.
S. Applebaum: How do you like being executive producer as opposed to or
different from being in front of the camera?
J. BerfieldI like it. They’re both unique in their own ways, but I’m
enjoying what I’m doing and where I’m at right now. It’s a whole new
level of stress. It’s a different kind of stress, but they’re both
rewarding.
S. Applebaum: All right. Thanks very much, and good luck.
J. BerfieldThank you.
Moderator: Next, we’ll go to the line of Danielle Turchiano from
Starpulse. Please go ahead.
D. Turchiano: Hi, guys. Thanks for taking the call.
T. LabineNo problem.
D. Turchiano: I actually saw the first three episodes, and I love your
use of character actors, Kurt Fuller, Joe LoTruglio. Can you talk a
little bit about some of the other guest stars you may have coming up
and if those guys will be back?
J. BerfieldKurt is only in the pilot, and Joe is actually in, how many
episodes is he in? He’s in at least—
T. LabineHe’s in five I think.
J. BerfieldYes, five. He comes back quite a bit. In the first three
episodes, did you get to meet Sarayu Rao? She’s in about five episodes
as well, and she plays Joe’s wife.
D. Turchiano: Yes.
J. BerfieldShe is an amazing actress.
T. LabineShe’s hilarious.
D. Turchiano: Cool, and are we going to be seeing any of the family of
the boys? Will we see the father in prison or maybe any family members
that come out of the word work?
J. BerfieldNo one in the family the first season.
T. LabineThank God. …
J. BerfieldThat’d be jumping the shark pretty quickly.
T. LabineAlso, Alexander Breckenridge who plays my potential
girlfriend, Gina, she pops in another couple times, and she’s fantastic
as well.
D. Turchiano: Tyler, for you, I’ve read a couple of review kind of
comparing you in this role to a Jack Black type. Is that something that
you were doing maybe intentionally, or is that something that you just
feel is kind of …?
T. LabineNo, I would never intentionally try to emulate another actor,
especially not one that’s famous and famous for his shtick as Jack
Black. I think it’s a nice comparison. I’m a little tired of it because
I’ve been acting for about 22 years, and I’ve sort of formulated my own
sense of humor before I even knew who Jack Black was, and it just so
happens that he got there before me I think. It’s a nice comparison. I
could imagine being compared to a lot worse people, but if anything I
tried very hard to buck back in the other direction, but this town likes
to slap labels on people, and that’s the one I’ve been stuck with.
D. Turchiano: Sure. Great, thank you, guys.
J. BerfieldThank you.
Moderator: Your next question comes from the line of Mark Pattison from
Catholic News Service. Please go ahead.
M. Pattison: Thanks, I have one question for Justin and one for Tyler,
and both have to do with pedigree. One for Justin, I saw all three
episodes, and looking at it, my wife identified it before I did even
that there was a Malcolm-esque to Tucson, and then in reading Emmy
Magazine last week, there was the list of the people who were working on
both Sons of Tucson and had worked on Malcolm in the Middle and if you
could talk about that pedigree. Tyler, you can think of some clever
laughs for this one, but I think you once thought that you might be
related to Leo Labine, the hockey player from the 50s and 60s.
T. LabineThat’s correct.
M. Pattison: Whoever wants to take that first.
J. BerfieldYou can handle the hockey one obviously.
T. LabineMine’s very, very short. Yes, I’m related to Leo Labine. I
didn’t know him, but our … show, Pete Dowd, he’s a hockey fanatic, and
when I first told him that I had a great-uncle who played in the NHL, he
printed me off oodles and oodles and oodles of information about him,
and it was pretty interesting. He was actually quite famous. He played
with Bobby Orr, and they called him the hammer. Yes, he was actually a
pretty influential hockey player. … battered and bruised, but yes, he
was kind of awesome, and that’s all I know about Leo Labine.
M. Pattison: Okay, Justin?
J. BerfieldAs far as the Malcolm pedigree, I visually it’s going to
obviously look similar to Malcolm because of our fantastic director,
Todd Holland. He directed the pilot of Malcolm. I think he directed 8
out of the first 26 episodes of Malcolm, so obviously, he set the tone
and the look and feel of Malcolm in the Middle, but we’re not trying to
recreate Malcolm in the Middle anyway. The reason why we brought a lot
of the people from Malcolm is, especially when you’re working with kids,
time is extremely important, and that’s a group of people that worked
together for seven years straight, and they all know what to do and the
timing needed to get it done. You can’t say enough about that when
you’re on a TV show with kids. You want everything to run as smoothly as
possible because, especially with Ben Stockham who plays Robby, you only
have him on set working hours like four hours a day, and if he’s in
three or four scenes, everything has got to be running smoothly, and so
that’s why we brought on everybody from Malcolm, not only because
they’re the best if not some of the best in the business at their jobs,
but because they all have a short-hand knowledge with each other, and
they just work together great.
M. Pattison: Thank you, gentlemen.
J. BerfieldThank you.
T. LabineThanks.
CallahanWe have time for one last question.
Moderator: At this time there are no more questions.
CallahanExcellent. Well, thank you, everyone, for joining the call this
morning, and a reminder that Sons of Tucson premieres Sunday, March 14
at 9:30/8:30 Central on Fox. Have a great day.
