1
Here's the hottest serial killer in town.
2
Please welcome Michael C Hall Little bit of the talking heads to get you out here.
3
Nice to have you here.
4
Thank you very much indeed.
5
Now you've been to the UK before I imagine. Have you?
6
We were here for my mother and I and some other people for a night.
7
Wow.
8
How old is eighth grade?
9
What was I?
10
Probably a 13.
11
13 year old boy in London with your mom.
12
Yeah.
13
Yeah.
14
Yeah.
15
What did you remember that trip?
16
What do you remember?
17
Well, I really it was our first stop on a tour of Europe.
18
I had really bad jet lag, so I don't remember much of it.
19
I know that my mom did get us tickets to go see Starlight Express.
20
I was sitting on the front row of the balcony, I remember.
21
And I would nod off and wake up as they'd skate by.
22
That's pretty much the extent of what I remember.
23
I went to see Cats once, I didn't enjoy it very much.
24
Really?
25
Well, I don't see actors pretending to be cats.
26
Actors are sometimes hard work anyway, aren't they?
27
But when they're pretending to wash themselves and lick their own genitalia, that's not my idea of entertainment.
28
No, no. And then they come out to the audience, so I don't think they should come near you.
29
Well, I remember hearing something about someone complaining about one of the cats getting a little too personal and, yeah, there was some sort of lawsuit, I think it went away.
30
If that happens, you're going to see cats, I think you are allowed to grab the actor and have him spayed.
31
You must be aware of this.
32
And I know a lot of young ladies are fine.
33
Well, you might as well.
34
Why fight it?
35
Well, I am only saying yes because you've been talking about it quite a bit.
36
And I appreciate it.
37
What's happening?
38
I must be coming out or something this evening.
39
I just didn't realize it.
40
But I googled you.
41
Really?
42
I googled you.
43
Have you Googled yourself ever?
44
Oh, I confess I have Googled myself.
45
You've got to Google yourself, okay.
46
But I was, I imagine when it came up, because the number of the, you know, you can see not only there's a site with information about you
47
and movies and TV you've been and so on and so forth, but also, questions that people have put on the web and there's an awful lot from fan groups women saying, "Is he married?
48
Is he single?
49
Is he gay?
50
Is he married?" Just really got the hot spirit.
51
That must be quite a nice experience.
52
I suppose so.
53
I mean, I guess it has something to do with the characters I've played.
54
I mean, I played a gay character on Six Feet Under.
55
And maybe that has to do with why that speculation is a little more.
56
Because you played a gay undertaker, didn't you?
57
I did.
58
Okay.
59
How did the how did the gay community react to your interpretation?
60
And how did if there is indeed such a thing, the undertaker community?
61
I was amazed at how many people approached and said they worked in a funeral home or had worked as an embalmer.
62
A lot of people do it.
63
People don't talk about it generally, but if you play one on TV.
64
It's kind of a conversation stopper party.
65
Yeah, yeah.
66
The gay community seemed very appreciative.
67
I think they appreciated the character's existence period, you know, that he was multi -dimensional and not just the you know, friendly neighbor upstairs with the little dog or whatever it was.
68
A real person and a crucial person in the drama.
69
Right.
70
Did you study, did you go into the sort of Undertaker environment to study before you played the part?
71
Did you sort of so come back?
72
that atmos and what goes on there?
73
I had certainly been a patron of funeral homes when I'd gone to see
74
dead bodies of relatives
75
but uh i didn't really do a lot of hands -on research i watched some documentaries but uh I think for me, if I knew it was a fake dead body, I was happy to pretend it was real,
76
Spending time with real dead bodies was something I didn't want to do.
77
It's not an experience.
78
I went to a drive -through funeral parlor in Louisiana once.
79
Really?
80
Yeah, they have a drive -through funeral parlor down there.
81
How does that work?
82
You drive through and there's the person propped up in the window.
83
Oh, oh, oh, perfect.
84
You don't know how to get out of the car.
85
Yeah, yeah.
86
And you pay your respects in probably the least respectful way imaginable.
87
Yeah, yeah.
88
This place actually exists.
89
Wow.
90
But it's kind of what makes America great though.
91
Yeah, yeah, the drive -through in all forms.
92
Let's talk about Dexter now because Dexter, don't spoil it for me because I know we have season three is about to start over here.
93
But I'm only up to season two.
94
But the people who aren't familiar, and obviously a lot of people here are, but there's a lot of people who might not have seen Dex's over here yet.
95
How would you describe the character?
96
He's a very unusual line of work and there's a very neat twist to it, of course.
97
Yeah, he works as a forensic analyst, a blood spatter analyst by day in Miami.
98
sort of hiding in plain sight and that by night he indulges in his compulsion to kill people.
99
But he doesn't just kill anyone, does he?
100
He kills only arguably deserving parties, reprehensible people.
101
His father, or foster father, recognized his homicidal tendencies when he was very young
102
and cultivated in him the belief that he had no choice
103
but to kill but that he could take responsibility for that compulsion and kill only killers.
104
It's a very cool series.
105
It's been fun, it's very gripping as well and of course it's quite bloody.
106
Now when you're, those scenes obviously I guess when you shoot them like anything it doesn't feel as real as it is.
107
When we see them we see it all put together but it must kind of be weird when you're working with a, because those, I'm assuming they're not real Corpses no no no there are the aesthetics.
108
Yeah So they're prosthetic figures, but they're kind of pretty realistic, aren't they?
109
They're remarkably realistic, yeah.
110
I mean, if...
111
I know that they're fake, and it's really easy to believe that they're real.
112
There's one that we reused, we came back to it.
113
It was a flashback and it's a guy who's all hacked up, one of Dexter's first kills.
114
And everybody was on the crew was looking at him saying, "Do we recognize this guy?
115
Is he the one we used before?" And people were examining his face and his disembodied arms and his torso.
116
And only when they lifted up and looked at his genitals were people like, "Yeah, that's the one." It was interesting.
117
So that made a big impression?
118
Yeah, I guess so, yeah.
119
It's such a scary moment.
120
Yeah, yeah.
121
So the show isn't all heaviness, you know, it's funny.
122
How do you prepare for something like that?
123
Because what an unusual character.
124
exist and I guess this is what psychopaths do or sociopaths do.
125
He can exist in normal society during the daytime
126
but then he has this compulsion surge and does something which he kind of knows is wrong but he can't stop himself.
127
Do you have tricks that you use for that
128
or are there kind of devices or methods that you do or do you base yourself on anyone at those stages?
129
I mean, I read transcripts of interviews of serial killers, books by FBI profilers, Ultimately, there's an imaginative leap required with something like this unless you're willing to commit a felony.
130
But is there something in common with those people that you've read
131
or something in common with their motives or their behavior that you think, "Okay, I can latch on to that." Well, a lack of remorse, certainly.
132
I mean, I think Dexter is singularly unique, sort of a fantastical character.
133
I didn't in my research encounter anyone quite like him.
134
Well, there's no likeable serial killers in real life, of course.
135
You know, that is fiction.
136
But I'm curious because it is a fascinating subject, isn't it?
137
You know, the fact that people do it.. again and again.
138
One thing I did do, I tried to get a sense of what it felt like to stalk people.
139
So when I was living in New York, when I was getting ready to do the show, and I would go out to a restaurant or a bar
140
and find someone who seemed to be alone and endow them with reprehensible characteristics and follow them around.
141
Are you sure you want to tell this story in front of an audience?
142
With camera's going.
143
I didn't follow them home.
144
I just wanted to see what it felt like to follow someone covertly.
145
It was really easy.
146
How often have you indulged in this behavior like three times long time ago I
147
That's twice more than you needed to really.
148
You're right.
149
You're right.
150
You're right.
151
You liked it, didn't you?
152
I did a little bit.
153
Did they not see you following?
154
I mean, how far away do you have to follow someone?
155
I always tried to stay at least like a quarter of a block away.
156
Yeah.
157
And did you, did they ever turn around and you said, "Oh, pretend to do my shoelace up or look in a shop, we know what do you do?" Or...
158
No, no. Just, uh, just, just, just made sure I didn't make eye contact.
159
And where did you bury the bodies?
160
Hey, Michael, how old are you Michael?
161
38. 38.
162
38. 38.
163
You look very young.
164
Are you beginning to feel you are your true?
165
Ah...
166
Maybe a little bit.
167
Hangovers are worse.
168
You should stop thinking.
169
You're right.
170
What about your knees?
171
My knees are okay.
172
It was recommended to me by an actor who came to visit us at school who had lots of these.
173
best thing you can do as an actor.
174
take care of your knees.
175
I try to.
176
How do you take care of your knees?
177
Can I just say I've never asked that question before in this show.
178
I'm genuinely quite excited.
179
I do this a lot.
180
I feel like I'm going off into uncharted tones.
181
You love them.
182
Do you take the glucosamine?
183
Do you take fish oil?
184
I try to.
185
I mean, I have those things in my fridge, but I don't take them regularly.
186
Have you ever had your back waxed?
187
I have not.
188

189

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
