Full lists of guests and more info atOn a recent afternoon, O’Halloran checked in via Zoom video call from his Pennsylvania home in the Pocono Mountains.
But him, [“Clerks” producer/editor Scott Mosier] and Dave Klein, they had all gone to film school together up in Vancouver. Knew what they wanted to do with the film afterwards. And we lucked out that literally one of the first and only film festivals that we first screened at, which was a film festival in New York City called New York Independent Feature Film Market. It doesn’t even exist anymore. And we had like the last day of the festival, Sunday 11 a.m.
Um, you know, there wasn’t an air of performance from a lot of people on the set, in the store. I mean, I call it a set but it’s an actual living, breathing, operating store. Literally, literally one of the characters of the film is the store. So when you get someone like Jeff – “Jeff, just read the words like you would say it” kind of a thing. And he did. He took it and he loved the sarcasm of it.
In the very beginning, it was definitely 98 percent of what was written [in the script] was what was said. And as the years have gone by, he’s trusted us to throw in suggestions, or to take a different take or add something to his dialogue, which is great, I mean, that 30 years into this relationship with Kevin there, we trust each other enough that yeah, let’s try this. Let’s play with it.
And it is something of a workingperson’s mantra: “I’m not even supposed to be here today!” It is what it is. I’m glad that’s the catchphrase people, you know, insinuate when they think of me. It’s better than some of the other dialogue that some of the other characters have to get said to them, or whatever.
But then moving forward from that, where we went on to “Clerks” the cartoon and then “Clerks II,” we got together like every five or six or seven years, doing some sort of “Clerks” related type of item. And then here we are now 15, 16 years later since that movie with ‘Clerks III,” and bringing these two characters of Dante and Randal, a complete circle of their character arc.
There was never anything I turned down. Sometimes you can’t work on someone else’s schedule because you’re working on something else, but there’s nothing like I could have been “Forrest Gump” now. There’s nothing like that. Just because I didn’t live in the L.A. area. So big type films like that, you usually had to be in the area to get those type of jobs.
That leads into the next question. There’s the great “Star Wars”-related banter between you and Jeff in the first film.
Whenever there’s new “Star Wars” stuff on, are there certain episodes where I’m like really? This is what we’re going for? Yes. But I’m a nerdy “Star Wars” fan.
