And she would say that to people, 171 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: and whenever you left or go to an audition or something, 172 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: she would say, give your gift. You know, it's just 173 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: you know, amazing. So yeah, it was fun. We had 174 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: a good upbringing. My dad was you know, there was 175 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: one time where I was it was open house, you know, 176 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: where your parents go to school. And I think I was, 177 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, ten or eleven, and I said to 178 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: my dad, I said, Dad, you're going to meet all 179 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: my teachers, so can you just not say the F word? 180 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: That's my dad had a bit of a body mouth, 181 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, So that happened. But I was very lucky 182 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: to be with not only loving parents, but you know, 183 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: I mean, was it acting right into it? You know, 184 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: at dinner it was like who can make me laugh? 185 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: Who can cry? You know? The improv you know yet end. 186 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: And it was also interesting because my dad always said 187 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: to us, you can always get into this business. But 188 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: you can only have a childhood once. So he really 189 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: encouraged us. We all went to public school, to Pacific 190 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: Palisades and Paul Revere Pacific Palisades High, and you know, 191 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: we did plays and stuff and we keep on us. 192 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: I mean, now I'm really dating myself. But he bought 193 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: us a video camera so we could make our own movies. 194 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: And it was like one of those old ones that 195 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: had to be attached to like a big VCR thing, 196 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: And so me, Michael and Peter were making home movies 197 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: like nobody's business. It was did you do that when 198 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: you were younger? Oh? Sure? Oh god? Yeah. Me and 199 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: this the kid down the street, Jimmy Twitchell made uh, 200 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: we made war films. We I was running for president 201 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: in the film. I was a Vietnam Vet. So we 202 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: were like, you know, six years old and we were 203 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: making these little movies. Yeah. So we did all that stuff. Yeah, 204 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: it's so much a lot of fun. Yeah yeah, um, 205 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: and you got to transfer all that stuff if it's 206 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: on film, you know, so we took I mean we 207 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: had film like this was great. Michael actually did this 208 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: because we used to play the Super eight and my 209 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: dad would sit down and he would narrate it because 210 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: there was no send. So before my dad passed away, 211 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: my brother Michael recorded him narrating the movie and it's 212 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: actually online. Michael uploaded it. So it's like the Dracula 213 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: Brothers and the Bloody Cave Brothers. There's if the old 214 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,599 Speaker 1: home movies are there, people can enjoy it. Oh that's fantastic. 215 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: I tell you, I spent a couple hours there. I 216 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: didn't want to leave. I did not want to leave 217 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: that house. I mean, you shouldn't have. I'm surprised you 218 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: did that. The one interesting thing is I, you know, 219 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: every once in a while struggle with my weight, and 220 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: I would be going over to my dad's house and 221 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: I would I would have already eaten, and he would say, 222 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: do you want a sandwich?

So you know, people, I 334 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: think I don't know what your take was on Twitter 335 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: at the very beginning, but I was like, I don't 336 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: want to do that and then it was right after 337 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: my dad had passed away and somebody was pretending to 338 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: be me talking about my dad and all this. I 339 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: was like, I gotta get on there and clarify. Then 340 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: there was no blue check or anything then. But she 341 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: what was so interesting? She had a lot of followers then. 342 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: Now she has three hundred and seventy seven million followers, 343 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people. But back then she had like 344 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, ninety thousand, one hundred thousand. I think 345 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: all the older people were like, what this is? This 346 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: is stilly, one hundred and forty characters. What you know, 347 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm taking a walk and I think I was doing 348 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: the same Rubin show that KTLA, and I said, well, 349 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: if she has a book coming out or she can 350 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: reach one hundred thousand people in a Namo sec, like, 351 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: why wouldn't you want to do that? And they all 352 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: were like there was a panel of people and everybody 353 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that makes sense, right. Remember when Twitter 354 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: started or no, um, you know, I was really late 355 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: to the party with the social media stuff. But I 356 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: do remember sitting down I don't know, maybe a year 357 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: or so after it debuted, but I remember sitting down 358 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: with one of the executives, one of the top executives 359 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: of Twitter, and they were going to plot a course 360 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: for my social media engagement with Twitter. And they gave 361 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: me all these sort of secret codes and all kinds 362 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: of things and I and I stayed in touch with 363 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: them for a little while and it didn't improve my 364 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: numbers and all that. But yeah, I started on it, 365 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: but I just I didn't know what I was doing, 366 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I it took me. It 367 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: was a learning curve. But with hashtags and tagging people 368 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: in the hole, It's like, what's going on?

There's a lot of good 408 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: vibes in there. When I went there, I was so 409 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: honored and so happy to be and you know, on 410 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: your show, and you know, I hadn't seen Lauren since 411 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: I was not asked back to the series and all that, 412 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: so you never know how it's gonna bete. But I 413 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: saw her. She was so nice. It was so great, 414 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: and I experienced something. It's not so much about Lauren, 415 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: but it's more about just the time where we were 416 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: sitting there offset and we were having a conversation and 417 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: she was, you know, just looking down and doing something 418 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: so with her fingers. Oh, she's doing something with her 419 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: her phone. She's she's she's texting. I had not experienced 420 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: like texting, and I was like, oh, interesting, we're having 421 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: a conversation and she's also having a conversation with someone else. 422 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: I had no idea that was going to become the 423 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: entire you know planet that's the future. And I also 424 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: remember thinking, you know, you can't talk on the phone 425 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: when you're on set because you don't want to be 426 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: super loud or what. But so I was like, you're 427 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: silently able to communicate while you're on set. So that 428 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: was a big Like when I did Gilmore Girls, that 429 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: was a big thing. That that a realization that hit 430 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: me so right right, So your first day of film? 431 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: Do you remember your first day of filming? I remember 432 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: the wardrobe fitting. Yeah, I had to well, I had 433 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: to wear tights because it was the Renaissance wedding. I mean, 434 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: I know that was the second episode, but they had 435 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: three put me in tights and not I had worn 436 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: tights one other time because I did mel Brooks's movie 437 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: Robin Hood men in tights and so I had been 438 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: in tights. And you know, rewatching the episode that Michael 439 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: talks about tights or the new thing and fights are great. 440 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: The one bad thing about tights is you don't got pockets, 441 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: So I don't have my speech as if you couldn't 442 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: put them in the jacket body, you know. But I 443 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: just remember you know, because it's interesting. When you do 444 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: a job. The wardrobe people are to I mean other 445 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: than casting, but the wardrobe people are typically the first 446 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: person the people you meet, you know, and so nice, 447 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: so sweet.

Oh, you would have been 452 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: able to do it. I mean, I understand it's a 453 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: muscle when you do it. You would have been able 454 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: to do it. Yes, when you guys come, when you 455 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: guys come, and I'm ushering you into the wedding. In 456 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: the second episode, I have a crime, and I said, 457 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm TJ's brother. I do this.

Then again a TJ's wedding, it looked so 464 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: magical with all the renaissance team and to film at 465 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: the iconic Gazebo and Star Soil. Did you like your costume? Yes? 466 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: I thought I looked very adorable. You know, if I 467 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,479 Speaker 1: may jump to the Strip club for for a moment 468 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: right where we come in and you're reluctantly going and 469 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: and and Jess is reluctantly going right uh and and 470 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: the dialogue, man, the the intelligent dialogue, the weighty banter 471 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: that you guys have has never been replaced on another show. 472 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: And the particular thing that happened here, and I love 473 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: the the insight to that he said, you said, I 474 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: don't want to lap dance? Well, do you want to 475 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: sit down? No, I don't want to you know, no lap, 476 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: no dance. And then Michael goes on the whole tangent 477 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: of you know, that's interesting what you said there that 478 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: there's no laps or if it's not there, where does 479 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: it go? It doesn't happen. It's an illusion, right, And 480 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: then what do I say? The way his mind works? 481 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: And then when he comes it's like you would catch 482 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: everybody up. And and then this is the favorite thing 483 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: that I've said in a long time, is a lap 484 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: is an illusion. It's like it's like it's a set thing. 485 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: We have scientifically proven this. It's not a body part. 486 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: A lap is not a body part. And then there's 487 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: a fight. And listen, my brother Michael is a wonderful actor. 488 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: He he's killed it in so many things. I mean, 489 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: my favorite thing he did was the NYPD Blue where 490 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: he played Dennis Rand's Son's just so good. But camp TJ. 491 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: Michael is TJ was so he just was there. He 492 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: just was. It was almost like he was a piece 493 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: of meat loaf. He's like, Hey, what are we gonna do? 494 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: But over there, all right, I'll do it. So he 495 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: talked fast, but in a in a kind of mellow way, 496 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: you know. Um. So I loved him show. I thought. 497 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: I thought his character was was so so far. I 498 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: loved that we had to we got into a fight women, 499 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, mud wrestling. It was very exciting. That was funny. God, 500 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: that was funny. Um. But can I ask you a question, yes, yes, 501 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: so you started this quite a while ago because you're 502 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, you're on season the end of season four, 503 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: which I listened to a couple of the shows and 504 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,719 Speaker 1: and a lot of people really loved season four. Season 505 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: four seemed to be a a special one. You know, 506 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: not not that they all weren't special, um, but when 507 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: you rewatched the show, right, I Oh, I remember some things. 508 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: And then sometimes I'm like, I have no idea, no 509 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: clue when I'm about to do no, I have no 510 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: idea what's about to happen, and I'm watching it objectively 511 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: the right you know, have you what you're where's your 512 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: memory with when you're rewatching I have very little memory 513 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: of anything. I mean, I'm not kidding. I mean the 514 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: only thing I did remember one thing. There was a 515 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: scene when I came where Nicole, the girl I married, 516 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: she's cheating on me and I find out and I 517 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: was because I was in her apartment. I wore his socks. 518 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: There was another pair of socks in there. It says 519 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm not wearing my socks. And I'm telling Laurela this 520 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: because she's sitting at the she's sitting at the bar 521 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: of the diner and I come around. That's when I 522 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: remembered about that scene. I didn't remember anything I said, 523 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: but I do remember coming around and getting in her 524 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: face a little closer say I'm not wearing my socks. 525 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: Because it was like one of the few times I 526 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: could do kind of like a little bit of heightened comedy. 527 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: You know. It was so dramatic, but I had to 528 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: really nail the comedy part of it that I remembered. 529 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: Nothing else do I reb? I don't remember anything nothing. 530 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: It's like I'm watching a stranger and I'm like, oh, 531 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: you know, like I kind of stuck because one script 532 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: has to go in and then go out so you 533 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: can make for the next one, you know, That's how 534 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: it is. I don't remember the Lauren's mother. I don't 535 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: remember her name, but I watched an interview recently and 536 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: they were talking about it and they all said the 537 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: pilot script was awfully thick. They were like, this is 538 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: like how how could how could this be a comedy, 539 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, because it was so much Okay, Okay, I 540 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: have a question, and I hope this is okay to ask. Yeah, 541 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: but when did you get the scripts for table? Because typically, 542 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong, you get an outline, 543 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: you get a script, you get it. This all the 544 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: departments get to know, like, oh, we need to have 545 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: fire engines on a onesie for a going up person 546 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: right right right right right. So I don't remember everything, 547 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: but what I do remember was I think that the 548 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: actual scripts were held very close to the vest and 549 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: only released very soon so that they couldn't be messed with. 550 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: Is that true. It is true. They did hold on 551 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: to them until the last minute, and once we got 552 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: them a day or two before we had to shoot, 553 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: it was you know, but we were used to that 554 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: pace of memorizing and I you know, I do remember 555 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: the first I think that was the first episode we 556 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: did in California, because we shot the pilot in Toronto. 557 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: We got picked up We're doing episode two at Warner Brothers, 558 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: and it was six am and it was we hadn't 559 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: even been to the set yet. On the first day 560 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: of the first scene the first episode, they throw a 561 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: ten page scene at its hot off the press and 562 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: Lauren and I looked at each other like, oh, we 563 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: are so screwed. But we we realized we could do 564 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: the show and we weren't going to screw up because 565 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: we actually pulled that off. I don't know how we 566 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: did it, but we just sort of got together and 567 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: we just sort of ran, ran, ran, ran it, ran 568 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: it in the in the in the fifteen twenty minutes 569 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: that we had and we got it. We got it. 570 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: If you can do that. You can do anything. Yeah, 571 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: But I think I think anybody can do it if 572 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: they're put in the in that situation where they have 573 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: to do it. I disagree. I disagree really that it's 574 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: a big Well listen, there's there's I'm not just talking 575 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: about actor. I'm just talking about anybody. Like there's there's 576 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: not a lot of people that can take a ten 577 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: page scene, film it and kill it fifteen minutes later. 578 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: You know. I mean some people can kind of do it. 579 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: But to do that it is not an easy thing. 580 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: It's I'm you know, my hat which I don't have 581 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: on my head. Well, we had you know, we had 582 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: George Bell there. He was our dialogue coach and he 583 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: would come to our trailers and we'd run run, run, run, 584 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: run line. I mean, we were you know. The thing, 585 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: the thing that I learned very quickly on that show 586 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: is that if you didn't go to set completely bulletproof, 587 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: you were going to have a bad day, you know. 588 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: And that happened to a couple of people that were 589 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: guest stars or recurring or you know, they didn't come 590 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,479 Speaker 1: to set Bulletproof and they had bad days. You Know, 591 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: it was tough because when that that red light turns 592 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: onto camera and they say action and you've got all 593 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: that stuff to spit out your You're like, oh god, 594 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm not ready. I can't do this. I'm going to 595 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: screw this up. So I learned very quickly to be 596 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: bulletproof and just walk on set knowing your stuff. And well, 597 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: I mean we all should be. It's awesome, and we 598 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: all should be bulletproof all the time, you know. Like 599 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: I teach acting to kids, and I'm like, there's three 600 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: important thing things. Know your lines.

But 776 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 1: the two girls were just very behaved, and you know, 777 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: everything was happening. And then when they you know, like 778 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,319 Speaker 1: when the turn happened. You know, when when they get 779 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,719 Speaker 1: a little older, what were you thinking? Right, right, and 780 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: the boys are like, you know, they're doing what I 781 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: don't know, karate or they're being loud and things are happening, 782 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: and then like in fourteen, they sit down on the 783 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 1: on the you know, play video games on the couch 784 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: and don't move right. I mean, so it becomes a 785 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 1: lot of you. It's like, where's your son. He's over 786 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 1: there on the couch, right, but not to say that 787 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: your son is going to do that. I love that 788 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: he's in the karate and you know, it's important to 789 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 1: do something physical. I think, did you do karate when 790 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: you were younger? I know, I box. My dad was 791 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 1: a boxer in the army, so he taught me at 792 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: a box and then the kids across the street had 793 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: a basement with a little mini boxing ring and I 794 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 1: used to try to fight the older one. He used 795 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: to beat me up pretty much every time I challenged him, 796 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 1: which so I stopped challenging. And I fought a smaller 797 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: brother who used to beat me up as well because 798 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: they were good boxers. So I had a very short 799 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 1: career as a boxer. Um. But yeah, no, I got 800 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: into karate a little later, like you know, uh college, 801 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 1: and you know, I didn't pursue it the way I 802 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: wanted to. But he he loves it. He just loves it. 803 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: He really loves it. Um and he and he did it. 804 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: He did one of his first sparring sessions the other 805 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: day and he really just like went after the kid 806 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,720 Speaker 1: and attacked him. And you know that's pretty cool to watch. 807 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, I mean he does it with me. 808 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,800 Speaker 1: He had ax me, right, you know, he wails away 809 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: on me and he hits hard. Man. But you know, 810 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: do you have do you have the pads and stuff 811 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: so that you know I'm going to have to get 812 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 1: them now though, because I can't. I can't take it anymore. 813 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: He's he's hitting too hard. So you know I used 814 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: to we used to do knuckles when he was growing up, 815 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: and he'd like just wail away on my stomach. I 816 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: can't do that with him anymore. I mean, he can't 817 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: do it if it hurts too bad.

You said, 862 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 1: there's a scene coming up. Oh yeah, pivotal yet you know, 863 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: not the most It's just it was a lore lie. 864 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 1: What was that?

The 872 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:39,439 Speaker 1: writing was so taught, and he was great. Chris arguments great. 873 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: You know, he's a great, great actor, and the two 874 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 1: of them, you know, he was just saying, hey, you know, 875 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 1: things are really going south with your dad, and you know, 876 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 1: he's ruining my reputation and he blew up the business 877 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 1: I had with him, and he's going back to work 878 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 1: for my father and I'm just gonna have to sue him. 879 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 1: And she just her reactions to all that was like, 880 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 1: I just thought it was a masterclass. She was giving 881 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 1: a masterclass in acting. And I just I loved her 882 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 1: so much in that scene. I've never liked her more 883 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,719 Speaker 1: in any scene because she chose her family. She goes, well, 884 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: you just can't do that.

What's going to 943 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 1: happen there? You know? But I always, I always love 944 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 1: that element where he felt he wasn't good enough for 945 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,959 Speaker 1: her and that's what held him back as well, which 946 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,000 Speaker 1: is wonderful because it's about our own thing. And what 947 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 1: is so interesting about what you're saying is we I mean, 948 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,880 Speaker 1: we all are good enough, we all are good But 949 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 1: to have that, and what a wonderful arc because over 950 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,359 Speaker 1: the entire series you had to change your mindset in 951 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,239 Speaker 1: order to say, Okay, I'm all in right, which I love, 952 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,480 Speaker 1: by the way, right, And I think I think that 953 00:52:55,600 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: character was made on the couple of times times he 954 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,880 Speaker 1: had to watch her walk down the street through the 955 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 1: snow with another guy on her arm, and then he 956 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,719 Speaker 1: we watched him die inside a couple of different times. 957 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,880 Speaker 1: And I think that's where the character was made. I 958 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 1: think that defines the character more than anything. And it's just, 959 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, just so beautifully written, you know, to get 960 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 1: that kind of gold to be in that situation, right, 961 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,239 Speaker 1: it's just right.
