franklin_bashFirst of all, I've seen this Fic Fest being pimped on my flist, and thought it might be ideal for some of our F&B writers and readers to check out for inspiration: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
badsexfest! Because you just know that Peter and Jared have had some complete disasters...!
It's a multi-fandom fest, so not all of the prompts are generic enough for our fandom, but there are some brilliant prompts that might just give some of you an idea to work with. And if there're any that you'd like to see filled for Franklin & Bash, feel free to add the prompts to our own kink meme.
~~~~~~~~
Secondly, Breckin and Mark-Paul have been doing some lovely interviews and promotional stuff for the new season. As well as being nice enough to touch each other lovingly on E!'s 'Fashion Police', they did this gorgeous interview for Starry Mag. I've reproduced it in it's entirety under the cut, so a) you don't even have to click on the link, and b) we will have it preserved for posterity... ;o)
Starry Constellation Magazine Interview with Breckin Meyer and Mark-Paul Gosselaar
Can you talk a bit about how Stanton’s changes and also the addition of Rachel to the firm, can you kind of talk about how that’s going to change and affect their process at the firm?
Breckin: I think with the addition of Rachel it is basically Stanton always had this kind of blind threat to us, which was about the New York office, and I think by bringing Rachel in he really has - I mean he’s gotten a little close to us and he - it doesn’t hurt to have somebody behind him, or next to him, who really doesn’t like us. And I truthfully think Rachel genuinely - she knows we’re good at our jobs, but I don’t think she likes us very much, as opposed to Malcolm who really does. And Stanton really does enjoy Jared and Peter. It reminds him of himself. And Rachel is much more of a corporate shill where she does not like them, doesn’t like the way they do business, and they if they can bring in good clients she’ll tolerate them. But I think it actually helps Malcolm’s character keep a tighter leash on us by having Rachel around and by having Rachel in his hip pocket, so to speak.
So in addition to adding Rachel, obviously the big change this season seems to be that you guys are moving out of the house and moving to the beach house. How does that open up the world, if at all, and what kind of crazy adventures can we expect from these guys on the sands of Malibu?
Mark-Paul: We need to move somewhere else. We end up moving into Stanton’s old beach house. And I guess what that does for the show is it just gives it a different light where we were in Silver Lake and now we’re in Malibu, so of course we’re going to have different characters coming in. And one of the characters that actually comes in towards the end of the season is Rob Lowe. He’s our neighbor and there’s a little storyline with him that’s sort of a runner that starts in the middle of the season and then ends at the finale. But yes the boys are on the beach and it’s just a different atmosphere. I mean Breckin gets to take off his shirt, which is going to bring in huge ratings.
Breckin: Anybody want to see a skinny white guy?
Mark-Paul: Who doesn’t? That actually is a new show on TNT, Skinny White Guy. But no it gives us a breath of a different air, yes.
Breckin: I personally like the Silver Lake feel. There was something sort of dark about it, but it might have been a little too dark and this kind of lightens it up and, you know, the guys get to go surfing, and the beautiful people, and it’s Malibu, who doesn’t love Malibu?
So I wanted to find out was it nerve-racking or fun to strip in front of Heather Locklear?
Breckin: We’ve both been stripping off camera for so long with Heather that I think it was really comfortable because we’ve been, no, I think I will say we did the first - the season premiere with Piers Morgan where we’re naked and I was the one who drew the small straw, so to speak. I was sitting next to Heather with my little naked cover and pack over me and I realized while I’m sitting there that this woman’s been married to Tommy Lee, who’s not less endowed than me, but it was a little nerve-racking. And I think in general when you have to be like naked on screen or shirtless and stuff it’s not the most comfortable experience and being next to Heather who has been around larger men.
Mark-Paul: Well Piers Morgan he was a good sport as well and having to do that - having to - we had to actually physically stand up in front Piers pretty much naked and he was a good sport about it.
Tell me about having Heather on. Has it been a lot of fun with her and did she come in and was it just kind of clicking right away and everything?
Mark-Paul: Yes she’s a sweetheart. I mean she came onset, she’s always prepared, and she fit right in with the family, and has a great sense of humor and doesn’t take herself too seriously. She was a perfect fit for all of us on the set and the characters. And yes I think she had a good time. We had a good time with her. Yes she fit right in.
I love the show and especially the cast is great. Are there any - you have a new cast member, the blonde girl that’s moving in next door. Can you tell us more about her?
Mark-Paul: Nicky, played by Nicky Whelan. She and I have sort of a romantic little thing going on that sort of - I guess it travels throughout the whole arch of the show this season. But yes she’s a single mother, she’s a kinesiologist, she’s blonde, she’s probably a perfect woman for Bash. And yes they try to make things work throughout the whole season. So it’s a fun little relationship color that we throw in this season.
Breckin: My relationship, we had a guest on the first season, Rhea Seehorn, who plays D.A. Swatello, who her big quote that I loved from the first season was she wanted to stab herself in the eye with my tiny little body because she just hated Jared and hated Peter and we always beat her in court. Rhea was on Whitney for the last two seasons, I guess, so we couldn’t get her that often. And now we were lucky enough to work it out that she could come and do a couple of episodes. And I think I speak for Mark-Paul and I both, she is one of our favorite guest stars we’ve had on the show. She’s just so game and so much fun and she’s such a fun adversary for Jared and Peter. And this season she’s back and Jared and her go toe-to-toe and end up, even more so, end up - it gets a little heated in the argument department and then it gets a little heated in the bedroom, which is nice and fun. And so Jared has some angry sex this season, which is also another show coming to TNT called Angry Sex.
I had a question about working with Malcolm McDowell. I think most of us know him from his role in A Clockwork Orange and he seems like a pretty intimidating guy, but what’s he like to work with?
Breckin: Well he’s great. I mean really this show lives or dies with Malcolm, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and I’s relationship. And ever since the beginning Malcolm’s just so game. He’s been doing this so long he’s kind of been through all of the bullshit and he’s seen prima donnas and whatnot and he just loves working and he loves having a good time and he really enjoys the character and we just, I think, Mark-Paul and I both just adore him.We went up to Ohio to go golfing with him and we were just kind of giddy that we get to, I love that I can call Malcolm McDowell my buddy he’s so great. And he sets a really great tone on the set, which is know your stuff and we can have fun, but know your stuff. And yes he’s just fantastic. Mark-Paul do you want to add anything to that?
Mark-Paul: No I mean everyone always asks, “Is he as terrifying in person as he is on the screen?” And I mean he can be, I guess, but you just realize what a terrific actor he is and just a terrific person in general. Family man with his three little boys and his wife and they’re all lovely. I mean you can’t say a bad thing about Malcolm.
So do you think this season because of Rachel that the two of them are going to have to grow up a little bit maybe?
Mark-Paul: Yes I mean I don’t think they necessarily grow up. There’s just now someone that’s pushing back. I think what we - what happened in the last season is that there were no boundaries for the guys. They kind of ran amuck, especially being equity partners with the firm, but there needed to be someone above them. And I think the show is its best when Franklin and Bash are up against some form of authority, someone above them. And whether they get that from a judge or whether they get that from, now, Rachel I think it strengthens our show. So I don’t necessarily think they grow up. They kind of discuss the fact that they - are they going to continue this lifestyle forever. They are in talks when we move is this - do we move separately or are we going to live together? I think they are pretty grown up. They just have a different approach to things.
I was actually hoping you guys could talk about translating your relationship and your working relationship from Franklin and Bash to Men at Work. And Mark-Paul if you could talk a little bit about your guest appearance on that show and Breckin was it just literally saying to him, “Hey come be on my show?”
Breckin: I mean Mark-Paul and I, and it’s rare, but we have such a good working relationship and a personal relationship that it makes going to work just fun. I mean we have such a short hand with each other and we definitely know each other well enough to know when to leave the other one alone, or to bug the other one or not and we have just a great time. And the second we started Men at Work it was just a matter of, it was just a matter of when can I have Mark-Paul on the show and when can I have - what would be the right role. And there were a couple of times and finally schedules lined up for the season finale when Mark-Paul was available. And it was great because it’s a fun episode with a ton of people. I mean there’s J.K. Simmons, and Kevin Corrigan, and Meredith Hagner is in there, it’s a big wedding thing and Mark-Paul is there and it was kind of like our big fun Love Boat premier. So I was glad to be able to bring him. And as far as our working relationship honestly, Mark-Paul can tell you if it’s different, but it’s really similar to how we work on Franklin and Bash. We just we both kind of just collaborate all of the time.
You were saying before that Jared gets a girlfriend and has some sex. Does that means we get to see you with your shirt off again?
Breckin: Once they said we were going to the beach we both went to the gym.
How long in the season are the guys going to stand for having their office split up?
Mark-Paul: Yes that goes on for quite a bit. I don’t know, depending on how we air the shows, how long that wall stays up, but it stays up for at least three episodes or so. Yes a little longer than the boys would have liked, but it’s definitely a tactic used by Rachel to try to split them up and really just to show that she has the power to do it more than anything else.
Breckin: Yes I believe what you just said. The guys don’t like the wall as much as Mark-Paul and I didn’t like having the wall there. So we definitely tried to get it down as quick as possible.
You guys have a lot of pretty cool guest stars on this season and I was wondering if there was anybody who were just dying to have on the show for next season?
Breckin: We have our dream cast. I know we always wish that we could get Jeff Bridges to come on as Peter’s dad or something fun like that. I think honestly we’ve been really lucky with the cast we get and occasionally we get to even make suggestions and bring people on. But I think there’s just so many. I mean I think Mark-Paul’s mentioned Jeff Bridges. I’ve mentioned I’ve been dying to have Michael Keaton come on, just people if you have a show you’re hoping that like you can go down your wish list and be like, “Well I’ve always wanted to work with this person, so I wonder if we could get them?”
So what continues to challenge you the most?
Mark-Paul: Working with Breckin. That’s pretty challenging. It’s been three years now. He hasn’t really changed. I thought that from when we filmed the pilot that he would change. We dated then and then we had the marriage and in the marriage he just never changed. So that’s been pretty challenging.
Breckin: Honestly I think I mean it’s the first time I’ve ever done a show. I’ve never done an hour long drama and never done something that’s gone past season one, I think, or season two really. But I think keeping it fresh and interesting for, not just the audience, but also for the actors, so you want to keep adding things and you want to keep the show going. You want it to be true to what it was, at the same time finding ways to make it new and exciting and interesting. And I think that’s always a challenge with shows that go on and knock on wood we get to keep doing it and hopefully keep evolving the characters.
Mark-Paul: I mean all kidding aside though, for us showing up to work is not a problem. We absolutely love the people that we work with, we like playing these characters, I mean every day we come to work prepared and ready to work. It’s a shame that we only get to do ten because we always say ten goes by very quickly for us. And we would love to do more because we have such a great time on the set, and we have a great time with each other, and with the writers, and the producers, and the cast and the crew. I mean we just have a great environment to work in. So there’s not much of a challenge for us to work on this show.
You guys have a really good onscreen rapport and you’re really funny together. Is all of that scripted or do you do any improv or anything like that?
Mark-Paul: No we do improv quite a bit. I mean Breckin is, obviously he’s talented in writing, so he sort of can write. I mean I think you kind of - you do that right? I don’t really know what your process is, but I think you do write a little bit at night, like alternates and stuff like that and I kind of riff off of your alternate.
Breckin: Yes, yes and I think we, knock on wood, have been the creators of the show, the exec producers now. We kind of have all banded together. We know we’re all very comfortable with who these characters are and it’s now gotten to a point where we stray a bit for just the fun kind of ins and outs of scenes we riff a lot. The night before I’ll go over something and come up with an idea of maybe just an alternate reference or something, if it’s a pop culture thing or whatever. But we always clear it with the producers and say, “Hey what do you think of this?” And it’s such a collaborative environment down there that we just start riffing and to me that’s some of where, even if it’s just for us to keep it exciting and interesting, that’s something where the best stuff on the show, in my opinion comes from is just the relationship between Jared and Peter, the little riffing they do; the capping on your friend; the goofing off. And a lot of that comes on the day with Mark-Paul and I just kind of giving the scene a couple once you do the scene a couple of times you find something new, you find something fresh and it works. So we’ve been given a lot of leash to - we’ve been given a lot of leeway to be able to riff a bit.
Mark-Paul: And the producers and writers know that we do it pretty selflessly and a lot of the times if there’s a note from you and I to each other it’s for the other person. Like if there’s an alternate we sometimes hand over that alternate to the other character saying, “This would be funny if you did this.” So they know that we’re doing it for the betterment of the show and we’re not doing it in a way to be selfish and bring the spotlight onto one character or the other.

Date: 2013-06-08 02:07 pm (UTC)A wall! In their office! HOW DARE SHE? DID JARED JUST NOT SHOW HER HIS SAD FACE?
And they're talking very sort of hopefully about it not being cancelled, which even though obviously it still might be makes me feel better like they're not all just hoping it will be or something.
ten goes by very quickly for us. And we would love to do more because we have such a great time on the set,
OH GOD TNT OH GOD. Why on earth won't they give us whole big long serieses, and make them spend MONTHS AND MONTHS together being happy in a trailer? lksdfh.
I love that Breckin thinks silver lake was dark. I love that he's going to have angry sex with Ellen. I love that they're going to talk about whether they should stop living together and then *not* stop living together although also I hate that they're even going to mention it because no.

I know, and it's lovely. I watched an interview with Breckin the other day where he was talking about how the Turner network lets him film Franklin & Bash and then start work straight afterwards on Men At Work. Then he said something like, "once that's finished, I'll be back here to start on season 4 of Franklin & Bash..." Even if it's just them being hopeful, I feel sort of comforted by it. More episodes in season 3 would have been nice, but I'll trade them for a season 4 in a heartbeat!
And also, Ellen being back would have been brilliant enough, but angry sex with Jared?! I literally could not have hoped for more! So. Much. Love!

Off course I want topless Jared and Peter, but I LOVED their crib so much, not sure how I feel about the move.
Speaking of things I'm not sure of: Peter's single mother girlfriend? THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SEASON?
I don't know. I REALLY hope I'll like her...

And yeah, if we have to out up with her for an entire season, Peter's girlfriend better be less irritating than Emily was last season...!
