I started professionally acting when I 76 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: was eight. I started doing children's theater before that. My 77 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: mom owned a theater when I was around six. Is 78 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: when I started doing theater professionally eight and so I 79 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 2: was working quite a bit, which was wonderful. It was 80 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: driving my mom crazy because she had a full time 81 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: job and she did not want to drive me on 82 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: the four or five. But say LEVI yeah, And so 83 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: I started being homeschooled in middle school just because the 84 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: auditions were a little bit crazy. Right. My sister, on 85 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: the other hand, never was homeschooled. She was like, I 86 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 2: don't want to not go to regular school. I was like, 87 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: I hate teenagers, so meeting homeschooled was a really good place. 88 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: For what's your beef with teenagers? 89 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 2: Oh, come on, Scott, you've met teenagers. 90 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. So you kind of did realize the 91 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: impact of your character would have on the show at 92 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 1: the time before you when you were auditioning. 93 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew. I don't think I knew how how 94 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: hated she was going to be, all right, right, I 95 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: knew it was going to be an upsetting storyline, but like, 96 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: I don't know, Jess broke up Dean and Rory and 97 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: no one seemed to hate him. 98 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: So tell us about the blowback you got from fans 99 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: when you were out in public.

I think when you do 104 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: see a person in person and they're a child, you 105 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 2: have a little bit more of a filter. But people 106 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 2: would say like very veiled things like oh, well, you're 107 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: more okay than I thought you would be. That sort 108 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: of thing. But the online backlash. Oh yeah, crazy.

And and I don't think. Here's what 156 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: I don't think fans understand is how difficult it was 157 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: for an adult with lots of experience off Broadway on 158 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: Broadway in the film and TV business to come onto 159 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: that set with lots of dialogue like you had. You 160 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: had chunks and chunks and chunks of dialogue and spit 161 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: them out that quickly with a weathered, experienced cast that 162 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: had no problem with any of that stuff. And we 163 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: would see those people just freeze and melt down and 164 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: they couldn't do it, and we, you know, of course 165 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: we'd help them, and they just couldn't relax sometimes and 166 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: you have to get them to relax. You came in 167 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: from the first rehearsal nailing it, nailing and nailing it, 168 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: no problem nailing it, and we were all like, WHOA, 169 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: what do we have here? You know, we never saw that. 170 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: We didn't see that. We saw people coming in like 171 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, justifiably a little bit intimidated, right, and thought 172 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: that they were prepared. But then when they got up 173 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: to speed or what they thought was their speed, it 174 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: was like, you gotta go faster, you gotta go faster, 175 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: you gotta go faster. And they'd look at me, and 176 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: they go, I don't, No, I can't do it any faster. 177 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: What am I going to do in there, buddy? But 178 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: you just came in and crushed it, crushed it, And 179 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: the fans need to understand, they're listening right now, how 180 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: difficult that is to do. And the fact that you 181 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: were thirteen when you came in and did it. 182 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, wow. 183 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: And just I don't know that. I've never been that 184 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: impressed with anyone in my entire career. And I don't 185 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: think you deserve to get all this backlash, and I 186 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: think it should stop. And it does. Listen, doesn't matter 187 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: how strong a person you are, how much you bat 188 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: it away, it's still going to affect somebody negative. So 189 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: let's be kind out there, people. Vanessa is an incredibly giving, generous, loving, 190 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: talented person. So let's just get off her back, okay, 191 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: and let's just let's let's look at how gifted she 192 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: is and how hard working she is, and she she 193 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: achieved her goals. And you know, for me, you're an 194 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: inspiration and I think you should be an inspiration for 195 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: all people. 196 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 2: I don't want to be on this podcast all the time. 197 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go. I don't I never liked the backlash. 198 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: I never I never bought into it. I couldn't stand it. 199 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: I just thought it was so mean. 200 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 2: It was I mean, look at the time, it was 201 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 2: very mean, I will say like nowadays. I mean, you know, 202 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: I just did a fan fest a little while ago, 203 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: Oh did you? Yeah, I did, And it was really 204 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 2: nice because to see everybody in person see what this 205 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 2: show means to everybody. And I mean, that's why the 206 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 2: backlash happened, is because it was so beloved, and your 207 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: two characters together were so beloved that all these years later, 208 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: it was really really nice to connect with people in 209 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:57,359 Speaker 2: person because you know, you know what the show means 210 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: to people, and to be actually a part of that 211 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: and get to cannect with people, it definitely takes a 212 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: lot of that that meanness away, or that anger way 213 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 2: it's oftentimes rooted to just sort of like a lack 214 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: of control, right because you're watching something that you want 215 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: to see go a certain way, not go that way. Also, 216 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: I think now, especially where we are as a society, 217 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 2: even though it's gotten so much worse with social media, 218 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 2: the everyday person experiences that backup socially media. It's not 219 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: just performers, and I actually think there's a lot more 220 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: grace right now and a lot more honesty about talking 221 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: about Hey, we should be very careful about how we 222 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: speak about people online, because it's a lot easier behind 223 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: a screen to say something horrible than it is to 224 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: say somebody's face. And that's things like anybody I've met 225 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: in person, especially now, Like in person now it's been 226 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: nothing but lovely and supportive, which is crazy because it 227 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 2: was not that way back in the day at all. 228 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: Right, people need to keep in mind that the Internet 229 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: is permanent. You write something, it stays. So anyway, let's 230 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: shift gears a little bit. Tell us about the first 231 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: day on set. What was that like for you? What 232 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: do you remember about it? Your first day. 233 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 2: I had a disposable camera and I was running around 234 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: just taking pictures of stars, hollow, not like just the set. 235 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: I was a nerd. I was just like just using 236 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: a set, like literally like the gazebo, Taylor Docie's Market, 237 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 2: like all of that was like so amazing for me, 238 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 2: But it was really really this is the first day 239 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: was the scene where I pull your hair right right, 240 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: right right, which I believe you said to me, like 241 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: you could go a little softer. It doesn't matter. 242 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: Did you grow did you grow in there? 243 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 2: I was like, if we're doing this, we're doing this now. 244 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: But it was I mean, it was so great to 245 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: finally like, you know, you go through so many auditions 246 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: and doing the thing and doing the thing, and to 247 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: actually be able to do it and and Gilmore Girls 248 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: was so much like a play with all the actual 249 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 2: you know, steady cam and moving around blocking and it 250 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: was crazy.

Nevertheless, 258 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: as a child. Right like up to that point, I 259 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: had done, Like I said, I worked quite a bit, 260 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: and I've done some substantial things, but a lot of 261 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: it was just like daughter shows up and is like, Daddy, 262 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,479 Speaker 2: don't understand me, and then like walks to the other room. 263 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 2: There was no like monologue about like wanting to crush 264 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: a kid at a science fair and when the pasta 265 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: like that. 266 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you had some real I mean it was really 267 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: just the great You had so many great lines.

Was it complicated? 270 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: You know you had to ride up on your bike, 271 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: come into the diner, talk to me, then take that 272 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: thing off. I mean did you have to rehearse that? 273 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? And it didn't go well anytime. I was not 274 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 2: a great bike rider. I'm still not a great bike 275 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: rider to this day. And maybe we could all, you know, 276 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: directly trace it back to Gilmore Girls. One of the 277 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: things I had done prior to Gilmore Girls when I 278 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 2: was eleven was a film that Chris Read actually directed, 279 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 2: which was really cool to be a part of. And 280 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: the character that I played gets into an accident and 281 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: develops the same injury that that Christen, So she becomes 282 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the neck down. And so I 283 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 2: had just done a bunch of stuff with paralysis and 284 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 2: like having to wear something called a halo, which is 285 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: where they like screw it into your head and like 286 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: you know, put it on. I had to do multiple 287 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: scenes like that. So when I showed up on Gilmour 288 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: Girls and they showed me that helmet, it was literally 289 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: designed the way a halo is for someone who So 290 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, actually know how to get into this, 291 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 2: Like this is crazy, and they were like, perfect, wonderful. 292 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: Now you're going to ride a bike with it on 293 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: top of you. I was like, excuse me. And then 294 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: it was the taking it off in the scene that 295 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: was the hardest part because it was not the easiest 296 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: contraption to take off. But yeah, years and years later, 297 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: if they asked me to ride a bike on set, 298 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: I'm like, this isn't gonna go. Well, guys, I'm not 299 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 2: good at hitting the marks. I only think about this 300 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 2: heavy object that was on my head. 301 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: Did you have to adapt to the fast pace of 302 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: the dialogue or did you just kind of cut really 303 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: remember you got it? 304 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: I kind of got it. And again, I think that 305 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: came from watching it so much. I really like at 306 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 2: that time, they were doing reruns on ABC Family every 307 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: day at five, so like me and my cousin would 308 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: watch it like at five like every day, so I 309 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: knew the pace of the show, like really really really well, 310 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: which I think ultimately is what helped me get the 311 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: part is it was so ingrained in me and so 312 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: well researched. I guess it's the only way you could 313 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 2: describe it. Yeah, I never had I was one of 314 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: the only people they never had to tell to go faster. 315 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: Right, How many auditions did you have. 316 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 2: A total of three? 317 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: Three auditions? 318 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 2: Great? Yeah, so there was just like regular casting and 319 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 2: then like two with Amy and Dan. 320 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,719 Speaker 1: Oh so you did two with Amy and Dan? What 321 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,239 Speaker 1: was that like? 322 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: We'll tell you it was very cool. I mean obviously 323 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 2: like Amy and Dan are such personalities, right, yeah. 324 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: But very warm and very welcoming. 325 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: You know. Here's thing like again, it's such a different 326 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 2: experience as a thirteen year old girl who's obsessed with 327 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 2: the show, right, because you're just like I worship you, 328 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 2: like I don't know how else to say it. And 329 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: I believe they had changed the dialogue in between the 330 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 2: two meetings, and so I did it the second time 331 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: and they were like, oh, the lines are different. And 332 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 2: I think what helped me get it is I went okay, cool, 333 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 2: and I looked at it and then I was just 334 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 2: able to do it right, which again that's like theater training, right, 335 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 2: that's h. 336 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: That's a skill set exactly. 337 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. But they were always really, really really great to me. 338 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 2: And I remember I was such a musical theater nerd, 339 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: and I would talk to Dan all the time about 340 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: musical theater. And then when I did the revival fir Sing, 341 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 2: Dan said to me, he goes, Hamilton. Are we talking 342 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: about Hamilton all day today? 343 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: What did you think about your character, April? What did 344 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: you think of her? Oh? 345 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 2: I loved her. I thought she was such a cool 346 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: character because she was so so herself at such a 347 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 2: young age, and so weirdly obsessive with certain things, you 348 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like when I had that scene 349 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 2: at the diner with you where I decided to fill 350 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 2: the salt and pepper shakers because I want to like 351 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 2: test the different quantities. Or I'm not a science person, 352 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 2: so I barely understood what April was always excited about. 353 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 2: But I love that she was excited about those things. 354 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 2: And I think Gilmore Girls as a whole was a 355 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 2: show for the smart girls, is the only way I 356 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 2: could say it. Like it made Even though April wasn't 357 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: quote unquote cool, she was never under confident in the 358 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 2: fact that she was so smart or she was so 359 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: nerdy that she liked you know, science, same thing with Rory, 360 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 2: I always say, you know, it was one of the 361 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 2: only shows where like the decision of which college she 362 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: went to was just as important as like which boy 363 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 2: she was dating. And so that was some that I 364 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 2: loved so much about the show, and getting to play 365 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 2: a character like that that wasn't wasn't ashamed of herself, 366 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 2: which you know, so many thirteen year old girls you 367 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: go through that uncomfortableness about yourself and figuring it out. 368 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: But to see someone who was just so like confident 369 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: in their self at such a young age and did 370 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: not care that she was really really strange, you know 371 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: what I mean. She was a little little bit of 372 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: an oddball. But I loved that about her. And as 373 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 2: an actor, that's more fun to play obvious. 374 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: So you must have got absolutely you must have gotten 375 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: some fans that were inspired by you. 376 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: Now now for sure, now there's a lot of young 377 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 2: women now who are like I was the science girl. 378 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 2: Like I loved that there was a science girl represent 379 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 2: on television.

Why tell us tell us your thoughts? 444 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 2: OI, old rich boy, Old rich boy didn't. 445 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: Think didn't you think he was the smartest one of 446 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: the bunch? 447 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 2: Oh that's hard? Uh? He Jess and him are both 448 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 2: very smart. Jess is hard because like, Jess was a 449 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: teenager when we met him and not like turning into 450 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 2: an adult right then when Jess comes back, I would 451 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 2: say they're comparatively smart. 452 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: Who is your favorite Gilmore Girls couple? Luke and Lorelei 453 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: or Emily and Richard. 454 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 2: Oh, Emily and Richard. I love Emily and Richard. 455 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: Would you rather work with Michelle or Kirk? 456 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 2: Well, I think I did work with Kirk. I'm trying 457 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 2: to think here, Well, Kirk would be a better character 458 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 2: wise Michelle. That's hard. It seems like Michelle's been able 459 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: to keep the same job, so there's one would argue 460 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 2: he's a better worker by that logic, But from what 461 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 2: you see on TV, Kirk seeds nicer. 462 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: Mm hm. Would you rather hang out with Paris or Lane? 463 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: I mean in reality Lane, in television lay on Paris 464 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 2: because she has some of the best scenes and the 465 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 2: most entertaining moments ever. So like from if you're like, 466 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: if I was like trailing and like writing a book, 467 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 2: I would want to be following Paris because I feel 468 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 2: like the material you would get out of that would 469 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 2: be better. 470 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: Mm hmm. 471 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: Okay, Harvard or Yale? 472 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: I mean Harvard, why if I'm going to go into 473 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: the thing of the show, I don't like that she 474 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: kept inside the same legacy of the family story point wise, 475 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 2: totally understand it gave more more room and more drama, 476 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 2: but ultimately I think the reason she ended up dropping 477 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: out of Yale was because she put the pressure on 478 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 2: herself to do things exactly like how her grandfather did, 479 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 2: whereas Harvard would have been her own person further away 480 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 2: from stars Hollow, which I think probably would have been 481 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 2: good for her because one could argue she had a 482 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 2: codependent relationship with her mother. 483 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, mm hmmm. All right, Harvard, or drop out 484 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: and live in a poolhouse Harvard. 485 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: No one approves of the living in the poolhouse gap year. 486 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 2: I support I support the gap year. I do not 487 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: like that she just wasn't doing anything. 488 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: Gotcha? Would you rather attend a dar event with Emily 489 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: or a town meeting with Taylor? 490 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 2: Oh, town meeting with Taylor? 491 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: Uh huh? Gilmore. Girl's character that you would want as 492 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: a roommate? 493 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 2: A roommate ooh oh, that's tough. Who would be a 494 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 2: good roommate? Probably Suki? 495 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,959 Speaker 1: Suki is a roommate. Yeah, a mother of two children. 496 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 2: Well, I'm assuming she's going through a divorce at that point. 497 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 2: If she's getting. 498 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: She's moving it. So you want Suki divorced with children. 499 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 2: I want Suki fighting for custody. 500 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: Gotcha? Okay, that might be the best answer we've ever 501 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: had on rapid fire something in your life.
