Jon and I did Revolution. We did Jungle Book together. We did a commercial for Destiny that led to Jungle Book, and our conversation on Destiny, then he asked me to do a Destiny commercial where I was reaching Rudyard, reading that wonderful poem, Mowgli, the Jungle Book story, and Jon said wouldn't it be great if that was redone? And I said, 'Man, that would be really fantastic.' A year later, he's calling me to do that.
I've worked with him three times. Once on the pilot of Revolution, a show I did with Eric Kripke that was so wonderful. Made his acquaintance, and then he asked me to do a Destiny commercial where I was reaching Rudyard Kipling, and we started to talk about The Lion King and Disney movies that we really really loved, so he tapped me for Jungle Book and I was able to do that with him. He is very specific and wonderful because he's an actor. So you get an actor directing you, he knows what you're feeling inside, he knows where you're going, and he gives you suggestions you can really utilize and use. Not just about, 'Oh, here go, stand there we want to do a shot like this.' Explains the shot and says, What do you feel inside you?' That's a respectful, wonderful actor turned director turned writer turned producer. The incredible and fabulous Jon Favreau.
I know for me, these films, they formed a part of my childhood and they gave me the ability to dream and to feel like they would take me to another place. And when you have a film that does that in an imaginary world that could be so real, it's very exciting for you. They taught me how to feel like a champion, how to feel like there are always going to be challenges but that if we are able to come together as a family somehow and if I can believe in myself, I can overcome anything. So for me to be a part of this was very exciting when Jon asked me. I worked with him before.
The weight of it, because you didn't see it, I think, all the time, but the backpack I wore, that was filled form top to bottom with all of the animatronics. And they had wires right behind my neck so they would definitely, they would spread them out for me so I would have a little bit of motion. And then on each side, those pockets, which were pretty big, those were batteries. So the weight of him rode on my shoulders. So it was again a lot of core strength, so just pull the belly in.
We were both really excited that Ming-Na Wen was on this show. If this is the end of her, which it kind of seems like it is, if this is just like a short appearance... I would've really dug like a whole long night with the Mandalorian and Fennec Shand, like, sitting up against some rocks, trading barbs or something like that. I think there's real potential for a character like this. I mean, The Mandalorian's a very action-heavy show, but I really feel like with a performer like Ming-Na Wen, with a character as coiled, there's like this coiled power in her, and I feel like we could've gotten some fun mind games out of her.
He was at the thing, he goes, 'Hey man, there's this part, man, we're thinking about maybe using you for.' And I literally joked, I go, 'Jon, you know I make fun of Star Wars all the time. I go, I'm not a sports guy or anything. Give that to somebody, you know...' And he's like, 'No, I think that would be funny. I think it would be funny for your fans to see you in that thing.' So I just said, 'All right, let's do it.'
Your character in particular has just become such a fan favorite, but I will say there are so many people on the Internet that are begging, begging to see more of the Armorer in season two.

It was actually really hard. It was really hard, guys, to find that robot voice. Because you've got to take away personality and emotion, but it can't be completely devoid, so it's really a subtle little thing there.
