ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was it like shooting the fight scene between your characters and Cassidy?
We had a very special stunt team who were very, very helpful.
And so we rehearsed it pretty solidly and on the day it went really well.

It was an interesting way to establish our characters, our relationship, what we were trying to do.
They were soaked in blood.
YUSEF:So, whenever we took a step, wed take a piece of carpet with us.
Were you still finding blood in your ears days later?
BROOKE:You get given Gillette shaving cream and amazingly that gets rid of it.
To be clear, I didnt mean to imply that you gentlemen have any kind of hygiene issues.
YUSEF:Well, we did after that!
What was your experience of working with him on this episode?
YUSEF:[Laughs] Working withJoe?
[Laughs] Entertaining.
YUSEF:Relentlessly entertaining.
[Laughs]
Would you care to expand on that a little?
YUSEF:Not really!
Um, in the fight, there was one moment where my character thrust his head into a pew.
And I was like, I didnt doanything, it was Joe throwinghimselfinto the pew.
So, yeah, there was a lot of that.
BROOKE:Its unusual to be around someone that is just constantly funny.
Like, there is a level of wit and humor with him that I havent ever seen before.
Its just nice to be in that sort of company.
Its endlessly fascinating and entertaining.
Yeah, it was great fun.
YUSEF:Hes like that battery bunny.
BROOKE:Yeah, yeah, the Energizer Bunny.
YUSEF:Just give him a tug and off he goes.
You know, there are occasions when were all a bit tired and Joes still going.
But youre happy because hes got a lovely spirit about him, Joe.
Why are DeBlanc and Fiore British?
I dont knowwhywere Cockney.
What are your own thoughts about the movie?
YUSEF:I love it.
BROOKE:I mean, its a fking classic!
If he wasnt playing an alcoholic vampire, I would have had that out with him, I think.
