~ DAX SHEPARD - APPRECIATION THREAD ~

I have to say i have liked Dax since his Punk'd days, he was good at what he did in there, i kinda miss him on there.

I liked all his get-ups on Punk'd especially the one with Jessica Alba lol - him walking around naked lol

He'a also been in Without A Paddle and Zathura.

Anybody like Dax???

The first time I saw him was on Punk'd. Too bad the cast has to change (so to speak), 'cause he was cute helping out Ashton. And, I loved him in Without a Paddle.

Dax is a cutie. I really like him!

Dax's interview just before Without A Paddle was released

DAX SHEPARD

Did you guys get into much trouble in New Zealand when you weren’t working?
You know, we all had our hobbies. Seth’s hobby was drinking…and staying up ‘til six in the morning and then working at seven in the morning and be completely fine and better than all of us. I really got in to all the ridiculous action/adventure hobbies you could do there... They have this mountain…where you get on this plastic cart and its got no brakes and you just go down this hill at fifty and everyone’s got road rash at the end. There’s no suing in New Zealand so they let you jump off a building into a bucket of syringes – ten bucks and everyone’s happy with that.

What was it like working in the cold waters of a river?
I think it’s very clear I separated myself from the boys, established myself as the man on this shoot. “Oh, I’m cold. This sucks! Blah, blah, blah!” Here’s me, “Bring it on! Put some ice cubes in it! I don’t care!”

Along with the laughs, there’s some feeling and emotions. Was that a tough part of the piece to make them real and make us care rather than to just laugh at you?
I think the dynamic of the friendship is what makes you at the end of the day care for each one of these characters, because my character could be very unlikable; I make fun of Seth the whole time, I’m irresponsible at every turn, but you see that those guys still love me a lot and somehow, as the viewer, you can kind of see why they like me… I think that palpable friendship that we all had in real life kind of transcended into the film and does help you care for us.

Does it make it easier when you have to audition having done improv?
I think it’s been valuable to me… Generally auditions aren’t perfect. They haven’t been written specifically for you, and I feel like you can put your own spin on it… They’ve (directors) heard someone read the same thing you’ve read probably 2,000 times before you come in there. I mean anything you can do differently, in my opinion, is going to help you and make you stick out in their mind. Anything I’ve ever booked I’ve gone crazy with...

You were talking about movies with cars. You mentioned “Smokey and the Bandit” and now you’ve worked with Burt.
Exactly! “Smokey and the Bandit” is my single favorite movie because it has fast cars and Jackie Gleason – the ultimate master of improv… I was in cab in Las Vegas and I was talking to the director and he said we got Burt Reynolds today, I wanted to punch the cab driver from the news, and just go “Do you understand what is happening? Not only do I get to be in a movie, but I get to be in it with my hero, Burt Reynolds!!” I was just a giddy eleven-year-old girl in the scenes with him just staring at him.

So was working with Burt Reynolds everything you thought it would be?
He was not as good of a kisser as I had anticipated. He was everything and more. He immediately put himself on our level and was just like one of the guys. He just hung out with us and was hilarious.

Do you still talk to him?
Yeah. I talk to him to this day. I’ve been to his house for lunch, it was awesome.

[Lennie1984]

Its funny when he calls ppl not there name but changes the letter in their name such as Nick he called Rick, and in Mandy's he called a guy Ted but his name was Todd lol

[Enigma]

I always loved it when he did that.

[Lennie1984]
