\n\tSPOILER ALERT:\u00a0<\/strong>This post contains spoilers from Season 2, Episode 6 of \u201cLandman<\/a>,\u201d \u201cDark Night of the Soul,\u201d which premiered Sunday, Dec. 21, on Paramount+.<\/p>\n

\n\tGuy Burnet<\/a> has only been on two episodes of \u201cLandman,\u201d but he\u2019s already made a big impact.<\/p>\n

\n\tBurnet plays Charlie, a M-Tex geologist who had a one-night stand with Rebecca (Kayla Wallace) after a traumatic (and drunken) plane ride. Yet Rebecca had no idea they were both employed by M-Tex \u2014\u00a0and that she\u2019s technically senior to him, breaking corporate rules \u2014\u00a0until she traveled to meet him at an informational meeting during this week\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s been a treat getting to see the high-strung Rebecca let her hair down around the suave Charlie, and the characters\u2019 chemistry is electric. In an interview with Variety, Burnet is quick to praise his scene partner as essential to bringing the spark to their scenes.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think the secret behind it is having two people who are game to do something more, to elevate something,\u201d he says. \u201cKayla is the opposite of her character. She is this wonderfully kind and generous and gentle human being. When I first went out to Texas, I got her information and said, \u2018Hey, would you like to meet?\u2019 Some actors just want to turn up and do the job. She\u2019s not that way, and we share the same philosophy of, \u2018Let\u2019s do something fun here. Let\u2019s build something.\u2019 So we met up and talked about life and shared stories, and got on well. Kayla and I have a real protectiveness of each other, and we bring that chemistry to the characters and let that be natural.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBurnet, who has also acted in series like \u201cFUBAR\u201d and \u201cCounterpart\u201d and films like \u201cOppenheimer\u201d and \u201cPitch Perfect 3,\u201d had the additional challenge of not just being emotionally vulnerable in his first episodes, but also putting it all out there physically as well. On his first episode, both Charlie and Rebecca woke up from their wild night in various states of disrobe, which can be challenging for even the most fearless and dashing actors. But Burnet thought about the situation and his character\u2019s state of mind a little differently.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLet\u2019s be honest, I\u2019m not Chris Hemsworth,\u201d Burnet says. \u201cEveryone\u2019s a beefcake these days in these Marvel movies. Do I work out? Yeah, I train, and I box, but I\u2019m not a lot like those guys, so whatever. I got to give up at some point and go, \u2018All right, this is me. I\u2019m fine, whatever.\u2019 The first thing we shot was that bedroom scene. I\u2019m coming in naked. Kayla is so abundantly beautiful, and in my mind, I\u2019m going, \u2018Why would she want to be with me?\u2019 And then I\u2019m like, even in my head, genuinely at the time, \u2018The audience is going to be like, \u201cOh, come on.\u201d\u2018 The character is happy-go-lucky, and he just gets lucky. She\u2019s out of his league. That\u2019s how I see it. If it develops from there, he\u2019s hit the jackpot. I don\u2019t think it actually was nerve-wracking because I kind of gave up. I was just like, \u2018Whatever, man. I got lucky. She is probably never going to want to see me again. So I\u2019ll just say goodbye,\u2019 and the fates intervened.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFans will definitely get to know Burnet more this season, and while he can\u2019t spoil specifics, he\u2019s excited to show different sides of the character.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs you can see already, there\u2019s obviously a very strong chemistry that Rebecca and Charlie have,\u201d he says. \u201cI think that develops both of their characters. She becomes a bit more three-dimensional, which then allows you to learn more about him. That\u2019s really to drive her character and her story. I\u2019m here to serve that story. Also, he has a natural set of skills that are needed that can bring him into the M-Tex world, which would involve the other characters, and who knows where beyond that. So it\u2019s naturally gonna transition from just their bubble into the greater scheme of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs his role grows, Burnet has one key support figure in his life: His good friend and \u201cLandman\u201d superfan Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a>, who he grew close with while shooting \u201cFUBAR.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAlong the way in this job, you get to meet some cool people,\u201d Burnet says. \u201cIf you\u2019re lucky enough, you stay in touch. Arnold is such a special, special person. He\u2019s saved me in situations \u2014\u00a0I\u2019m not going to say that lightly, and I won\u2019t get into what, but when I needed somebody, he was there. He checks in on me all the time. He believes in me more than nearly anyone I\u2019ve ever come across. He makes me believe in myself. He\u2019ll call to check in with me: \u2018What\u2019s going on? How are you doing mental health-wise?\u2019 And his favorite show is \u2018Landman,\u2019 and he calls and sends me messages and loves it. I consider that relationship one of the great things that\u2019s ever happened for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SPOILER ALERT:\u00a0This post contains spoilers from Season 2, Episode 6 of \u201cLandman,\u201d \u201cDark Night of the Soul,\u201d which…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":463779,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[32708,171,211295,12044,211296,173,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-463778","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-arnold-schwarzenegger","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-guy-burnet","11":"tag-landman","12":"tag-trending-tv","13":"tag-tv","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115761736936509927","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463778"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463778\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/463779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
