I utilize a lot of different disciplines.\u00a0 But for example, on Perimeter I play an attorney who takes on cases that others wouldn&#8217;t necessarily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He knows where his bread and butter comes from, but he likes to challenge and, when dealing with that, I&#8217;d watched a lot of different things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I watched Better Call Saul.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I watched different lawyer shows and I consulted with some attorneys and did some research and, I have a relative who&#8217;s an upper echelon attorney in the tri state New York area.\u00a0 I spoke with her in some detail about different things and went through the script actually, and to try to make it make sense for me in a very real, visceral way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"George Gallagher reveals his acting process behind finding characters, BET+ Perimeter\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/go-ni9kfkgA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But also honor the world that Armani Ortiz and <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyovation.com\/2022\/03\/15\/samuel-l-jackson-shawn-mendes-tyler-perry-oscars-march-27\/\">Tyler Perry<\/a> had created.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So it varies quite a bit. I like to be really spontaneous and instinctive with everything. I like to go off the moment of what I get from the other person and what happens in the moment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How I respond to things 12 words or less, unfortunately is not my specialty, but that&#8217;s why we have writers to give me dialogue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Joe Winger:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk about Lance, the character you play in Perimeter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>George Gallagher:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working on the show is one of the gifts of my creative, professional career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armani Ortiz is the young writer-director visionary, who has created the show and put it forth with Tyler Perry as executive producer. And he also directed the Tyler Perry documentary, Maxine&#8217;s Baby, about Mr. Perry&#8217;s life that&#8217;s doing quite well right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He&#8217;s really an extremely talented young guy. He really invited me into his world,\u00a0 to create whatever I wanted within certain parameters. He was very collaborative with the actors. He allowed us to rehearse, work through things, but also give it our own flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I come from the theater and actors that work in that studio tend to have that background because we can work quickly. We&#8217;re autonomous. We have some process and technique and I believe that we&#8217;re able to collaborate with others in a way that&#8217;s immediate, and in theater, you&#8217;re out there in the unknown and there&#8217;s no one to cut you out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a bad moment, the audience sees it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So actors really learn how to hyper focus in real time. That was a bit of the experience. Once the cameras were starting to roll, but we did have an incredible cast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the people came from California, some from New York. I&#8217;m really drawn from both coasts that came to <a href=\"https:\/\/la.flavrreport.com\/oregon-chicago-north-carolina-and-much-more-traveling-discover-greatest-hotels-ever-from-fifty-grande\/\">Atlanta<\/a> to film and work on the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s a great story. It&#8217;s period. It takes place in the nineties surrounding Freaknik, which was a really popular hip hop festival in Atlanta. The Olympics is in the backdrop, when they had them here in the early 90s.\u00a0 The whole city, the airport expanded. It really put Atlanta on the map as a major metropolitan city.\u00a0 So that&#8217;s all happening in the backdrop.\u00a0 They had the first black mayor at the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Love Perimeter on BET+ ?

He&#8217;s looking at some serious charges and we have to go visit him and give him some reassurance and get more information about his case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of the actors, Malcolm Xavier, who plays Malcolm on the show and Jalen Gilbert, who plays his brother were extraordinary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We shot in a visitation room in a police station and when this actor walked in, I felt like he was really in jail or in prison.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The guy transformed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;d met him [before] and we rehearsed the scene and everyone&#8217;s nice and we&#8217;re in hair and makeup and shooting the crap and talking.\u00a0 Then you get on set and it&#8217;s not the same human being, which is such a gift as an actor when you have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It forces you to really respond and you&#8217;re just in the moment. The three of us had a really exciting dynamic and I thought it translated really well on film.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It reminded me of things as an actor, which is if you believe it, if you really believe it, the audience will believe it too.\u00a0 Everybody around you on that set will believe it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&#8217;t. then it&#8217;s kind of luck of the draw and you&#8217;re hoping for the editor [and music score] to help you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an actor is really meant to be an actor, and they&#8217;re worth their grain of salt, it comes from them living in this danger zone.\u00a0 And this guy, he came out, he was dangerous. You felt like anything could happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He reminded me of a young Denzel Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Malcolm was also exceptional. It was impossible to not believe they were brothers. You could feel the affinity, but also the sort of rage that was brewing between the two of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2093\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2093\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2093 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/la.flavrreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-22-at-7.18.30\u202fPM-1024x822.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"822\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">George Gallagher on-set<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Joe Winger:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That vibe helps inform your performance as well.
