Playing Gabo Was “A Dream Come True” For Guillén To Celebrate Disney’s 100th Anniversary
Screen fustian : I love this movie so much , I ’ve seen it three or four multiplication .
Harvey Guillén : Oh , awesome . Yes , it ’s a great movie .
And Gabo is one of my favourite .
Harvey Guillén : Thank you .
How did it palpate to be a part of the animated movie celebrating 100 years of Disney invigoration ?
Harvey Guillén : I mean , when I got the call , it was like a dream fare reliable , because I grew up watching all the Disney films . specially to observe the centesimal anniversary , it ’s something so special and specific , that it was just like , " Wow , even to be a pocket-sized part of this project will be historic . " It ’d be like being part of something that you front back and be like , " The 100th day of remembrance film . " Which is really coolheaded , and yeah , it was a dream come rightful . Yeah .

One night, Rosa takes a chance to wish upon a star - only to invite a bit of chaos when her prayers are somewhat answered by an energetic cosmic entity known as Star. Together with her goat and this new friend, they’ll set off to save the kingdom from an ambitious king.
I love it , and then your character is so much fun , and I have to take , it shoot me an mortifying prospicient amount of time to figure out , " Oh , these are meant to signify the Seven Dwarfs . "
Harvey Guillén : Oh , right . With the letter of Gabo , Grumpy . Yeah .
It took a while .
Harvey Guillén : It ’s okay . It took people a second gear . It take people a second .
Gabo Was “Different” From Many Characters Guillén Has Played Before
Can you mouth to me a little mo about Gabo ? Did you know that he was meant to be a symbol for Grumpy in a way , or was that a surprise to you as well ?
Harvey Guillén : I think for me , it was just decent to play a character that was different from a mess of the characters I ’ve played before . So when they say he symbolise Grumpy , and we were very careful about not stimulate him too … I guess you could call it sharp and too nasty . We all have that friend who ’s a realist , but sometimes the way you deliver thing can be a little bit nicer , and Gabo is just always delivering the the true , but also maybe taking a small second too much delight in telling you the truth .
That ’s always a petty bit like , " Ugh . " But we need realist to state us what ’s realism , and then we need optimistic people to give us that chance to dream and have aspirational thought and nicknack . So it was dainty to play something like that , because it ’s so different than what I am and so different than what I normally wreak . I am not a Gabo , but it was nice to go and claver Gabo World .
I ’m much more of the realist in the acquaintance group , so I value his irony throughout the movie .
Harvey Guillén : Yeah , it ’s estimable . It ’s funny , sometimes it ’s funny . As much as you do n’t want to hear it , sometimes the trueness is suspect .
Definitely . And then " cognise What I cognise Now " is without a doubt one of myfavorite call inWish . What was the recording experience for that ? And were you all freestanding , or were you able to work together on it ?
Harvey Guillén : We were all separate , but I remember when I went to record the strain , it was the director and the composer and everyone . So , it was really great to be in the way with everyone . They play you the demo , wanting to sound like , and it ’s just , like , hearing it for the first prison term , especially with that instrument fracture , the drum and all that music and just everything get along together . And then , the mellow note that they gave me , that part , it was so high , I think I did three takes , and I was like , " Whoa , that ’s really high . "
They ’re like , " Yeah , yeah , yeah , you could do it . You could do it , you could do it . " I was like , " Okay . " So now when I hear the Sung dynasty and I listen to that gamy note , I ’m like , " Oh my gosh , that ’s me that ’s singing that high note . " It ’s such a groovy message . It ’s just like sometimes , you have to take a leap of faith and stand up for what ’s right , and sometimes you might be alone , or sometimes you might be in a small chemical group , but it ’ll never be out of fashion to do what ’s right .
They do that for sure , and with the goal of helping their supporter who ’s in need , and what a better cause . Whenever a friend needs you , just ill-treat up and show up for them , to show up for them because that ’s what a real Quaker does .
Oh , I love that answer , and you kill it in the song . Can you talk to me about how you want to show Gabo ’s evolution as a fiber , especially as he learnsthe truth about Rosasand the king through your voice acting as well as your telling ?
Harvey Guillén : Yeah , so when we first meet him , his voice is a lilliputian more snarky and a minuscule snatch more sarcastic because it ’s day - to - day . This is what they do every day . Someone ’s name cookies , someone ’s getting ready , so this is what they do every day . It ’s a function , and the function is being disrupt , and when the routine gets interrupt , the articulation change into a property of concern . You do hear a little bit of sorrow in Gabo when we feel out the Sojourner Truth , because he has a line saying , " See , I was right , " or something like that .
It was just the painful import of being a realist , even discover the accuracy yourself , which you already had a hunch about , can be painful . That ’s a painful matter , even for a realist . You do n’t require to be right all the fourth dimension , particularly with thing that are major . You have an idea that this might be on-key . In the back of your head , in your soul , you probably do n’t want it to be true , but it ’s probably dead on target . And then when it ’s confirm , you ’re like , " See , I was right . " It ’s not as gratifying as you thought it would be . It ’s more dissatisfactory that you ’re right .
So , I care to mean that we showed that moving ridge of emotion with his voice and at the remnant when he shows up for his acquaintance , and then towards the conclusion , even with the absurdity of proceed back to Gabo OG , but a more playful Gabo , when the Gallus gallus and the ball , even that moment and , " You wonder why I ’m cross ! " It was just a moment of like , " Oh , Gabo . " He ’s back to his normal self , but with different layer . So , he does n’t change himself . We all do as man , we ’re all allow to go through emotion , and we go through waves of emotion , and he just goes through them throughout the picture show .
What We Do In The Shadows' Ending Is “Sad” But Will Be “The Cherry On Top”
You did such a great job with that . I ’m work to switch gears for just a second because I ’m a huge , huge devotee of you inWhat We Do in the Shadows , very pitiful that we ’re coming to an end . How does it sense with the show end with the 6th season , especially with how passionate the fans are ?
Harvey Guillén : I intend , it ’s deplorable . We ’re all really distressing , but I recollect it ’s the perfect amount of time . call back about it . Six season is a long time . Altogether , from the airplane pilot until when we end the show , it ’ll be about seven year of our life . Seven years of our lives is a long time to commit to a show that we sleep with . We give it our good , but then finally you never require to be on a show that outstay its welcome or a show that becomes like , " Oh , is that still on ? " I ’m proud to say that none of our time of year have ever made you feel that .
If anything , it earn people want more . I intend it ’s also a time matter where we ’re at in our biography , and the fourth dimension that we have committed to the show and also the writers , they also have to decide how can we elongate this history , and how long can we go with it without making it , as you would say , jump the shark . You never want to rise the shark . So , I retrieve we ’re really lofty of the body of work that we have done and go on to do , and I retrieve this last time of year is going to be the cherry on top . People are going to be like , " You know what ? Yeah , that ’s the way of life to stop this journey . " I ’m excited and also sorry .
We were just sitting with the dramatis personae on set the other mean solar day when Kayvan was getting nostalgic about , " Oh my God , I said that in the pilot , " and he was just going down memory lane . It ’s just like , we ’ve made womb-to-tomb friendships - like Kayvan and I have hold fast so much , and he is one of my best admirer . Literally , he call to check up on how I am doing , and I go to London , where he and his fiancée make me dinner party . This show has endue me so many thing , and I cerebrate the safe thing is a lifelong friendship .
Oh , that ’s tremendous . I ’m function to ask one more quick interrogation before shifting back toWish . Now that Guillermo seems like he ’s on a different path after the whole lamia deal did n’t work out , what are you excited for fans to feel with a new perspective on this character ?
Harvey Guillén : Wait , what was the query one more clock time ? I just combine it up in my head .
So , Guillermo seems like he ’s believably on a new itinerary this season with all the vampire clobber not really working out for him in the previous season . So , what are you aroused for lover to experience with him on this different path and with this different position ?
Harvey Guillén : Got it . Yeah , that ’s what I think . That ’s what I get word . I was like , " Wait , how do I answer this without give too much forth ? " You almost got me , Caitlin .
On fortuity !
Harvey Guillén : No , you cognize what it is ? I remember I ’m really excited to show that there ’s no expiration date to restart and there ’s never an loss date or ticking time turkey to what success looks like , what a well-chosen life looks like . It is never too late to reinvent yourself .
Guillén’s Favorite Disney Easter Egg InWishIs Easy To Miss (But “Really Cool”)
Oh , I love that answer . Then I ’m going to transfer back over toWish . One of the things that ’s so fun about Disney is there ’s such iconic admirer groups and sidekicks , and I hump the group of Quaker with this . How do you think they put up out from the other iconic Disney sidekick or grouping of heroes ?
Harvey Guillén : I think because of them being the core seven who are her companions or protagonist , her choose menage , I think it says a lot . I call up it ’s very relatable , especially now . Sometimes you ’re close to your friend at workplace or closer to your friends at school than you are to mayhap a cousin or something , or a distant relation .
So it shows that family unit and accompaniment can be come up in dissimilar places , and with them as the sidekicks to this story , it ’s very relevant , I think , and very meta . I experience like a heap of masses can connect to it , because we do have those chosen family groups that show up for you in hard prison term and the unspoilt time . So , I mean that I wish that . I care that it show a dissimilar way of find out friendships .
I completely agree . Then this moving picture is wedge - full of Disney Easter eggs all over the place . Do you have a favorite ?
Harvey Guillén : I think my favorite is , well , obviously at the end , the Magnifico , and then it ’s a quick glimpse of the mirror . I care the mirror from Snow White , and then it make sense because , " Oh , okay then . Oh , all right . I got where that ’s going . " There ’s small small thing like the dressmaker for Sleeping Beauty ’s dress . It was really immediate , and I reckon that . I was like , " Oh , that ’s really cool . "
There ’s a poison orchard apple tree in the background when you ’re looking at Magnifico ’s stuff . There ’s so many . There ’s just so many that I think if I sat down and dissected the movie frame by frame , it would take me a while . There ’s just so many hidden Easter egg , which is so corking . Then there ’s always the obvious ones , the wishing to fly , and then connecting with someone that look like to Peter Pan , and how that might have issue forth to be .
Yeah , there ’s just so many , but those are probably the ones that stand out . It was a really nice pant at the closing when I ensure the movie for the first sentence , it was the mirror , and then I looked at my admirer , and I was like , " Did you see ? " They ’re like , " What ? " And they missed it . I was like , " You blinked . " I was like , " It was there . It was there . " Then they were like , " No , I did n’t see it . " I was like , " No , it was there . " Then you have to prove to them that it was there .
That was my exact same response and that is also my favorite one .
Harvey Guillén : Yeah , either you saw it or you did n’t , and people were like , " No , I do n’t think so . " I was like , " Okay . "
It almost felt up like this movie was an origin for a batch of these classical Disney trope like that , so that was very , very interesting to take in . Because it was like , " Does that mean … No . Does it ? "
Harvey Guillén : Yeah , which is great because it head you to your rendering , whatever you think that is .
Then you name that this eccentric is very different from a lot of the characters you play . Was there anything specific you ’re excited to tap into and would like to explore with other grapheme in the hereafter ?
Harvey Guillén : Yeah , I mean , I sleep with playing voice lineament that are dissimilar from one another . That ’s the power of the voice , as oppose to being in our bodies , it ’s real , and you could only do so much with the costume and the chapeau , and you ca n’t make yourself marvelous . You ca n’t make yourself shorter . This is your vas .
But with interpreter , that ’s your official document , and you may manipulate the musical instrument to be different ranges , different stratum , different tunes . So , it ’s really gracious to play with different thing with the vocal range of a function . So I think I ’ll just keep doing what I ’m doing , just completely playing fibre that are unlike from one another , which is a nice treat for any artist , I think , to get to make for different things that they normally do n’t recreate .
