Nicholas Braun Talks The Sheep Detectives, Playing a “Greg-y” Cop, and Filming With CG Sheep

Nicholas Braun joins Click and Tell to talk about his upcoming film The Sheep Detectives, a murder mystery comedy set in the English countryside with an all-star cast including Hugh Jackman, Bryan Cranston, Emma Thompson, Hong Chau, and more. Braun shares why the movie is surprisingly hilarious, how it almost makes sheep farming look appealing, and what it was like acting alongside CG sheep, puppets, and stand-ins throughout production.

He discusses director Kyle Balda’s detailed storyboards and mock-ups that helped bring the animated world to life, praises Bryan Cranston’s emotional performance, and explains how his character evolves from a nervous “Greg-y” cop into a respected detective. Nicholas also jokes about co-star Nicholas Galitzine’s blond hair before ending the interview with a few sheep jokes.
