In an all new interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Ravi Cabot-Conyers who portrays Wim in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew was asked to name the first qualities he thought of when thinking about the different directors of the new Disney+ series.
Let’s go through each of your directors and just name the first qualities you think of during your time together on set. Besides his aforementioned uniform, what comes to mind when you think about working with Jon Watts?
He’s so intentional. He was also one of the co-writers, so he knows what he wants. And he’s always comical. He’s very caring and compassionate about the people in the production, and he’s laser-focused, too. I’d look over at him as he was watching playback on the monitors, and it was always very funny. I’d sometimes go join him.
What else caught your attention about David Lowery?
You can really tell how experienced he is. In preparation for Skeleton Crew, I watched Peter Pan and Wendy, and I loved it. Again, he was just in awe of everything going on around him.
What about Bryce Dallas Howard?
Bryce is so generous, so kind and so talented. She’s also an actor, and so it’s very evident that she knows what she’s doing as both an actor and director. All of her directing methods are so useful and so practical. She worked on several episodes of The Mandalorian, so she was so experienced in terms of working in the Volume. It was really helpful to work with someone like her.
Lee Isaac Chung …
Lee Isaac Chung, oh my gosh, was so amazing and supportive and helpful. I really loved his [penultimate] episode too. He’s so grounded and comfortable, and it was clear how much fun he was having with us. I really admired that.
The Daniels …
The Daniels were so fun, talented and lighthearted. They did little warmups with us before we started shooting, and we had lunch with them to get to know them first. I saw Everything Everywhere All at Once, and I was shocked by it. Oh my gosh, it was awesome.
And Jake Schreier …
Jake has a very cool episode [105]. He is so particular, and he’s really cooperative. Like Jon, he’s compassionate, and he really knows how to work with people.
