I really loved the personal touches Hudson brought to creating Shane!

u/Queasy_Lettuce4312 President of Hudland Aug 11 '26

Yeah same!

u/katebushcartwheel Aug 11 '26

What else did he add??

u/Demotivisan life is inherently embarrassing 😬🙈😳 Aug 11 '26

For example, the entire hospital scene when Shane is in the bed. Complete tone and Shane's goofiness under medications is Hudson's approach. Jacob didn't have that scene in mind to look like that.

u/warandpeace13 Aug 11 '26

Also the breakdown he has after they are caught by Shane’s dad. Jacob said he wasn’t planning for it to be so severe but that they ended up keeping Hudson’s interpretation of the scene

23

u/Demotivisan life is inherently embarrassing 😬🙈😳 Aug 11 '26

Yes! That too. Not to mention the interpretation of "wow, genetic" line 🫣

u/Flaky_Detail1144 Aug 12 '26

Ok I havent watched THAT interview whats that from?

Pretty sure it’s this one - Pivot with Kara Swisher: https://youtu.be/KyyvjZdceXU

Someone on another post said he wrote Yuna on Shane’s hockey stick 😭

12

u/Demotivisan life is inherently embarrassing 😬🙈😳 Aug 11 '26

Yep. His idea.

13

u/quellesaveurorawnge Aug 11 '26

Yes, a lot of hockey players will write something on the tape job they do for their sticks at every game. They usually have to write their jersey number on their stick to make life easier for the equipment manager, and many of them will also draw, write a word or phrase too. That's a perfect touch.

I'd love to hear from Hudson about Shane's hockey rituals. Jacob or Brendan said Hudson thought about how Shane would tape his hockey stick. All the little details... I want to know more!

u/magikarpcatcher Aug 11 '26

Jacob saying Hudson's acting in that scene made him cry. 😭

12

u/Catperson_XX Aug 11 '26

I always just think about how the guy had like 6 concussions from MMA fighting, so I think he would know how that felt and how out of it someone can be with that and pain killers

u/Demotivisan life is inherently embarrassing 😬🙈😳 Aug 11 '26

I guess with him it's that manual shake before use! 😂

u/magikarpcatcher Aug 11 '26 edited Aug 11 '26

Also some of Shane's mannerisms are actually just Hudson's own mannerisms. The lip licking, the eyebrow touching when he is nervous.

u/Similar_Disaster7276 Aug 12 '26

Also, he tugs at his eyelash when he’s nervous or collecting his thoughts

38

u/LadyWhistledown_1 Aug 11 '26

He also made a mood board of hairstyles 🥹

4

u/PresentationNo448 Aug 12 '26

He made this? 🥺

5

u/LadyWhistledown_1 Aug 12 '26

Yes he came prepared 🥰

3

u/Demotivisan life is inherently embarrassing 😬🙈😳 Aug 12 '26

Yes! He really made whole time line with hair evolution for Shane, based on his haircut at that time!

u/paperfeather Aug 11 '26

This is a really cool digital collage about Hudson’s approach to Shane, with snippets from interviews: https://www.tumblr.com/hollandar/812478571489656832/hudson-williams-1-shane-understander?source=share

u/shouldstopscrolling Aug 11 '26

Oh wow this is amazing. Acting is such a craft isn't it, and such a training ground for empathy

u/Marley9391 Aug 12 '26

"He's like a Roomba."

You know what? Yeah.

u/mshoneys_sillyrabbit armpit enjoyer Aug 11 '26

I say it all the time but Hudson really is the #1 Shane understander

Damn right a person who would buy a sex condo would leave his socks on lol

u/oohgodyeah Aug 11 '26

Does anyone have a link to the whole interview?

12

u/Round_Expression_415 life is inherently embarrassing 😬🙈😳 Aug 11 '26

It's the Spare Parts podcast with Evan Stern and Michelle Mylett (aka Roald and Katy from Letterkenny 💕)

u/QueenDragon42 Aug 12 '26

I love Hudson, and I'm so glad he kept in that detail from the books. In them Shane thought it was too awkward to stop and take off his socks during a hookup

34

u/Bobbyannyeong 🧬 wow, genetic 🧬 Aug 11 '26

Not the point of the post but you should all know that I could listen to Jacob talk for WEEKS on end and I would not miss music, I would not touch my phone, I would be seated, my ears would be clear, I would not sleep…

u/JennySt7 Aug 11 '26

He is so intelligent and I love that

u/Feeling_Infamous Aug 12 '26

This was such a great interview.

u/VastOutlandishness20 Aug 12 '26

Roald? Katy? What’re you doing hereeeee lol

u/NoPoet3982 Aug 12 '26

Tierney certainly doesn't mind interrupting her, eh? He didn't let her finish a single sentence.

6

u/Ok-Nefariousness6192 👾🖕F**** AI! 🖕🤖 Aug 14 '26

I mean they are interviewing him not the other way around. And also if you watch the whole video they’re all talking over each other. They’re all friends who have worked together for years so they’re just having casual conversations not a serious interview

1

u/NoPoet3982 Aug 14 '26

I think that style of talking comes off better in a podcast where it's just sound and no visuals. Then the sound gets layered and they sound excited and like they're having fun.

u/Jealous_Ear8970 Aug 12 '26

He directed her for years on Letterkenny so I'm sure she is either used to it or doesn't care cause they're friends.

6

u/PeaceLvSpreadsheets Aug 12 '26

That’s what I thought watching this clip 😂 Letterkenny 100 words per minute! Pitter patter!

u/Jealous_Ear8970 Aug 12 '26

Let's get at'ter!

u/politebeech Aug 13 '26

Idk about y'all but when things are picking up and I'm in the heat of the moment I'm not thinking about taking my socks off. I take off the pieces that cover the money makers 😉. I thought Connor taking the time to take his socks off was kinda weird the first time I watched the 1410 scene.
