The genre that I had never done.
It’s something that I was drawn to because I had never done it.
It’s a different tone.
With your character, did you feel like there were any similarities that you could connect to with him?
[Are there] any big differences between the two of you?
It’s funny, I don’t really think about that when I work on a character.
Now I have to think about him.
Not the similarities, so much as ways you were able to connect with him.
That’s what he’s trying to do.
Not really, because, … Hopefully, I don’t think I [would].
No one is perfect, and everyone is trying to do the best they can.
[This past Sunday] was aninsane displayat the Oscars of what love can make you do.
Love can make you do crazy things, and we saw that.
I find that insane.
Everyone needs or deserves a second chance, or a third or a fourth.
They were in circumstances that made them do what they did.
So, yeah, it’s great.
If they were all serial killers, I wouldn’t have that conversation.
There are levels to it.
Yeah, there are levels of criminals.
How did you get along with the cast behind the scenes?
Did it feel like that?
I’ve worked a lot with Brain Power, and they kind of have a family of actors.
You end up working with actors over and over again.
I had worked with Rainbow (Sun Francks) before on a movie; I forgot the title.
And I [worked with] Lisa (Berry).
There’s something to be said … Where are you in the world?
I’m in New York.
You’re in New York.
That was the case.
That’s a good question.
My character wouldn’t be bad at all; he’s very smart and savvy.
The little intellectual genius code thing is the character of Rainbow.
Maybe him, maybe me?
My first day was with Toni, and it was just the two of us.
I love the first day because it’s like a first date.
She was so how can I put it?
generous, because she sat and she’s like, “So where are you from?”
She engaged in the conversation and made the connection and the relationship natural and easy to connect with her.
Okay, good."
Were there any elements to behind the scenes or the production that made this movie challenging at all?
The only day that was very challenging for me …
It’s in the second movie.
That I hated, and that is challenging for me.
[Those are] not my ideal conditions to film.
Yeah, for sure.
Then, it’s established and then you’re able to be free and play.
I always look forward to the second season or the second movie.
That part was great for me.
I feel that’s when the real work and freedom starts, for me anyway.
What kind of book club would Yanic Truesale start?
Do you ever read murder mysteries yourself?
I used to be a reader.
It’s a sad part of being an actor, or for me; other actors actually do it.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I used to read a lot.
It becomes, for me to grab a book, it almost feels like work.
I don’t do it as much.
That’s why I said “yes” four years ago.
There’s a big show in Canada called “Canada Reads” that promotes new Canadian writers.
You go on the air on CBC for three, four days.
We all choose a book, and we battle, and books get eliminated.
I was like, “I need to read.
I need to go back to read.”
I did it, and I loved it.
I thought, “Oh, I’ll never stop reading again” because I loved it so much.
Sure enough, I did stop.
There are a couple of really awesome biographies that I had read during the process of doing that show.
I love when I learn something when I read.
There are two books that I read during the process of that [show].
One was called “By Chance Alone,” which was written by a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor.
[There was] another book written by a 16-year-old a teenager that survived the war in Syria.
I’m forgetting the title.
I experienced what he experienced through the writing.
The combination of all of that is usually what I’m drawn to.
It [has] to be Michel, I think.
Lorelai and Michelle always kind of made the best duo.
They balanced each other out.
Do you have any favorite memories from your time on “Gilmore Girls?”
That’s a long time ago.
Laughing is the ultimate happy moment.
I would like to see his behavior with the kids.
What kind of relationship is that, and what does he look like in a relationship?
All of that [which] we’ve never seen that would be very funny and revealing and interesting.
I never thought of myself as being funny.
I’m much more comfortable in drama.
It is more my nature.
This is what I can do."
I ended up doing comedy.
It’ll be interesting.
As I said, it’s a genre that I’m not used to.
I’m discovering him as the public will discover him.
Because it’s like dating someone, you don’t know everything from the start.
You got to be dating to know.
I’m dating my character, and I’m getting to know him better.
The movies are based on the books, “Fallen Angels Book Club,” by R. Franklin James.
