Eddie McClintock & Saul Rubinek Celebrate A Warehouse 13 Christmas
Last week we here at SciFiPulse were lucky enough to attend a very special Christmas Party, which was in the form of a conference call with Warehouse 13 stars Eddie McClintock and Saul Rubinek who were on hand to answer questions about tomorrows Warehouse 13 Christmas special.
It’s no secret that Eddie McClintock and Saul Rubinek are two of the hardest working actors, and they get around a fair bit too. Eddie McClintock was in Bulgaria during this call doing some work on a Syfy Channel movie called Boogeyman. Which was something Eddie seemed somewhat proud off judging by the amount of plugs he got in for the project during the course of the conference call…
When asked about the Christmas episode, and what their favorite things were about doing it. McClintock described it as being what they have always tried to do with the series, and a fun exchange started between the two actors as a result of this.
Eddie McClintock: I think the Christmas episode is it’s right in line with what we’ve always tried to do with the Warehouse 13 episodes. They’re a lot of fun and there’s some tense moments but again at its heart it’s a nice family show about this family of people that have come together at this strange warehouse out in South Dakota and I think it just stays true to the series and it’s fun.
And Paul Blackthorne who is our guest star does an amazing job and I guess my favorite part was when the nutcracker…
Saul Rubinek: I could’ve told you that that was his favorite part just because he gets to say the word nutcracker.
Eddie McClintock: And I get to say nuts.
Saul Rubinek: Yeah. I could’ve told you that. I have three favorite things that happened to me.
Eddie McClintock: That’s news.
Saul Rubinek: Yeah you’ve talked long enough. I have three favorite things. One is that I got to work with Judd Hirsch who I’d never met but had been such a fan of for so many years and we’d never even meet before, and that was a huge thrill, he’s a wonderful performer, great actor and was just a pleasure to have him on the show, and they had to age him up a little bit to make him old enough to be my dad, but that was a joy.
And the second thing was that for the first time Jack Kenny, our head writer and show runner directed an episode and he was wonderful to work with and it was great to have him as the director of the show, and he wrote the script as well, so that was a pleasure, a real pleasure.
And then I got to perform this little nocturne, or at least part of it, that I had been writing myself on the piano, which took the place of the nocturne that Artie has been working on for years that his father is so happy that he finished it. So I got to do that, so those were three great things for me...
