I just was inspired to tell this particular story, and that's what led me to directing it. And so I guess in my head, I do all of these things and they're all different expressions of me, so I didn't consider it any more risky or any more difficult for an audience to connect with. I've spent my whole life acting, and I've gotten to do all kinds of genres, comedic and dramatic, adventure, or fantasy. I guess I didn't think about it being a departure, and I really didn't consider how people would interpret it, or the impression that people have gotten of me over the last 10 or more years. This movie, a quieter story about two guys in Thailand, feels like a departure based on your comic books and comedy career. **Editor's note: Green's representatives got in touch to correct the date mentioned in the interview - Robot Chicken is back in September, not October** Below is an edited version of the conversation - the whole thing can be heard in the episode of The Fandom Files embedded within.

Green went long on the movie during the conversation, and also spoke about some more geeky items, including when Robot Chicken will return for its 10th season (mark September on your calendars) and the fate of his Howard the Duck. “And all of the backgrounds and locations, it was so beautiful, it just felt like an incredible place to put a story.” “I went to Thailand in 2009, and all of the things that I witnessed, all the people that I met, just the experience that my friend and I had, it really felt like a movie,” Green told SYFY WIRE during a recent interview on The Fandom Files podcast. They meet a number of oddball locals (including one played by Macauley Culkin) and new friends on a journey that flows at the pace of a hidden resort getaway. When he starts to get a strong suspicion that his wife is cheating on him, Green’s character, Brandon, invites his best friend Dan (Meyer) on the surprise vacation he had planned for their anniversary he leaves in the middle of the night, hoping that time away and some counsel from his friend, whom he hasn’t seen in several years, might help. The film is equal parts an exploration of relationships, a travelogue, and 86 minutes of emotional catharsis, set in idyllic (and occasionally chaotic) island scenery in Thailand. But he’s got other interests and creative ambitions, too, and they coalesced this summer in his live-action directorial debut, Changeland, a buddy dramedy in which he co-stars with his longtime friend and creative colleague, Breckin Meyer.

A sampling includes Emmy-winning, multi-hyphenate work on Robot Chicken, the ADD stop-motion animated show that he created voice roles in just about every other adult-skewing animated series and live-action roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Austin Powers series, and many others. Readers of this site know the 45-year-old actor/writer/director best for his geeky oeuvre, which is broad and accomplished. Now he's added yet another line to his very varied resume.
