Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb

I gotta check that one out.

He's also been in stuff like A Walk Among the Tombstones, Night at the Museum: The Secret of the Tomb.

He appeared in future episode Colossal in 2016, and in 2017 he played the titular beast in the live action Beauty and the Beast.

Oh.

Yeah, not a huge, uh, list of credits.

Uh, [laughs] well, oddly enough, she was in, uh, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.

Oh, get out.

Huh, interesting.

Um, the, uh, the Va- the Vacation remake, reboot in 2015.

In a small role in Night at the Museum 3.

I'm like, all right.

But then I thought, you know, the h- whole joke of him, him being a Jimmy Olsen in Superman last year was really funny.

Her wearable art has shown in exhibitions from the Society of North American Goldsmiths Exhibition in Motion to the National Wool Museum in Australia.

She's also built pieces for Broadway's Pippin, for Night at the Museum 3, and for the Squared Circle, designing entrance gear for WWE's Cody Rhodes.

In this episode, Vanessa talks about the tenacity behind a career this specific, what two decades of the work does to your hands, and how one cold DM changed everything.

So our guest today is Vanessa Vayuco, and she makes chain mail.

I also do more costume niche work.

I've done work for Broadway.

I've done work for Night at the Museum 3.

I've done some music videos, private collectors.

But...

When we'd have hiatuses and the other actors would go relax or do whatever they were doing in a hiatus, Robin would have to fly to London to be in Night at the Museum 3, I think it was.

No way.

And so that's what he would do.

It was a, when you know we heard he passed and that was just horrible for all of us I think the

crazy ones is one of the last things he did it was yeah I think

Night at the Museum 3 came out after he had passed yeah

I think that's probably why I went back and I revisited it so much because I wanted like more time with his work but When I was still in college, I came out here for a summer and I worked at this comedy theater that no longer exists.

What was it like coming back and working with him again? A- again, like as his son again.

It was, dude, it was, it was awesome because, uh, I was 17 in Night at the Museum, uh, Three-

Yeah

... and it was-

I'm sure you've seen, it was the third movie in a big franchise, and Ben, I feel like he'll, you know, he has certain movies where he takes these big swings and does these super broad, crazy characters, and then he'll also be more of like an every man.

Yeah.

In Night at the Museum he's more of an every man kind of guy, and like he could have, it could have just been like a straightforward performance, and it's like the third movie.

But he like, he was such a perfectionist.
