\u201cOr, \u2018Oh wow, Matrix, all right. [The Matrix] Reloaded, f— yes,\u2019 \u201d he added with a laugh, name-dropping the 1999 and 2003 films from The Matrix franchise in which he starred as computer-hacker-turned-superhero Neo.<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cAnyway, not yes, no.\u00a0 \u2026 I haven\u2019t like just put one on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Winter, who previously starred with Reeves in the Bill & Ted film franchise<\/a>, also answered Fry\u2019s question about watching himself in old movies.<\/p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t really, I don\u2019t. I don\u2019t like watching myself much, so I don\u2019t tend to watch stuff I\u2019ve done,\u201d\u00a0Winter, 60, said.<\/p>\n
Winter added, \u201cWith my last film, actually I did watch. It was just an incredible theater in Toronto, and I wanted to see the audience response, but I don\u2019t tend to do that. And when I do, I feel like a complete, almost like a complete disconnection from the whole thing, you know? So I don\u2019t end up with an analytical response to whatever it is \u2026 sort of dissociative.\u201d<\/p>\n
