0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>give you the brilliant, the talented, the nessa Morano. How

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you're doing? Nice to see ya. Tell us April. How

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 1>old were you when you got the role of April?

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I was thirteen?

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Ah, yes, right, I thought you were a little tad

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>older than the character, but not my well.

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I was a tad older than the carecharacter when I

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>auditioned for it. And then I believe they made her

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 2>closer to my age.

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh really, okay, okay.

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 2>She was supposed to be like more I believe when

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I auditioned, like closer to eleven. And then now that

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 2>one that one works.

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Had you seen the show before you auditioned?

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.239
<v Speaker 2>I was obsessed with the show before.

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I Oh really okay, I was obsessed.

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>And I remember getting the breakdown and they didn't give

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>much information in the breakdown. They just said, quirky preteen

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>will have storyline with Luke is all they said. And

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I was obsessed with the show. And I knew the

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 2>way you had left the last season was you proposing

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>to Laura. I so I was like, oh, they're going

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 2>to give him a daughter. She's going to break them up.

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm so mad, But also I must be her, I

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 2>must be this person, and I was like, I went,

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I went hard. I got glasses because it's quirky. And

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>that's what the entertainment industry means when they describe anything

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>as quirky. And here we are.

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>So here you are. You're twelve years old, you get

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to sell audition. Were you in LA with your mom

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and your sister?

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, because I was raised, I was born.

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Are you okay? So you were not out of town? Okay?

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Were you going to school or were you homeschooled?

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I was homeschool at that time, so I went to

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 2>like regular elementary school. I started professionally acting when I

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 2>was eight. I started doing children's theater before that. My

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>mom owned a theater when I was around six. Is

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>when I started doing theater professionally eight and so I

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:44.280
<v Speaker 2>was working quite a bit, which was wonderful. It was

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>driving my mom crazy because she had a full time

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 2>job and she did not want to drive me on

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the four or five. But say LEVI yeah, And so

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 2>I started being homeschooled in middle school just because the

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 2>auditions were a little bit crazy. Right. My sister, on

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>the other hand, never was homeschooled. She was like, I

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.919
<v Speaker 2>don't want to not go to regular school. I was like,

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I hate teenagers, so meeting homeschooled was a really good place.

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>For what's your beef with teenagers?

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh, come on, Scott, you've met teenagers.

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness. So you kind of did realize the

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>impact of your character would have on the show at

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.799
<v Speaker 1>the time before you when you were auditioning.

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I knew. I don't think I knew how how

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 2>hated she was going to be, all right, right, I

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>knew it was going to be an upsetting storyline, but like,

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Jess broke up Dean and Rory and

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 2>no one seemed to hate him.

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 1>So tell us about the blowback you got from fans

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>when you were out in public. I mean, tell us

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>about the most severe cases, good or bad.

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean it wasn't good. It wasn't great. You know,

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 2>when I was out in public, I don't know that

0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:00.919
<v Speaker 2>anyone said anything too horrible. I think when you do

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>see a person in person and they're a child, you

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 2>have a little bit more of a filter. But people

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>would say like very veiled things like oh, well, you're

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>more okay than I thought you would be. That sort

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 2>of thing. But the online backlash. Oh yeah, crazy. And

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, thankfully this was before Instagram and Twitter and

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 2>all that stuff, but there were still like blogs and

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 2>like television without pity and and really actually like publications

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 2>too that were reviewing TV shows that were just horrible

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and like hating me, hating my performance, hating my voice,

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 2>hating the way I looked.

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 1>It was just.

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Awful, awful, awful, awful. However, I'm very grateful for it

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>because it made me at that time, especially because it

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>was my favorite show. So I was like, oh, well,

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>the creators of this show, Amy and Dan, who I

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 2>like value and like look up to, think I'm good

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 2>and keep using me, but the rest of the world doesn't,

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>So like what opinion matters more in this moment and

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>really kind of put into perspective like you can't please everybody,

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 2>and like, are you just proud of the work that

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 2>you're doing. Years and years later, when I ended up

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 2>on a show called Switched at Birth, which was a

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 2>show that I was a lead of, and I was

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>like one of the youngest people on that show, and

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>that was right when Twitter and Instagram were starting to happen.

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I ended up being the person who was like, hey, guys,

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>don't look at the comments. It will drive you crazy,

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 2>like all of a sudden, an eighteen year old telling

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 2>people who are like in their late twenties being like, no,

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>trust me on this one. From personal experience.

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>About yeah, so as.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, you know, about two years ago, I opened

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 2>up my phone, and you know there's news articles things

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 2>that are going on in the world. Two years ago

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 2>there was a pandemic. There was a BuzzFeed article that

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 2>came up that said most hated television characters ever. Oh no,

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 2>my face, my face, Scott. I beat Jeoffrey from Game

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 2>of Thrones.

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh jeez man, which is.

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>A little bit like a point of pride. Now now

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 2>it's like a badge.

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Of the right, right right, right, right right, gosh. I

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>gotta you know, we just reviewed the episode. Yeah, well, yeah,

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>we just reviewed. I forget the name of the episode.

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>But you come into the diner with that helmet on,

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 1>and I gotta tell you of all the scenes that

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I have done in that show up to this point,

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>those two scenes that we did together, the one at

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the science fair and the one when I meet you,

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>two of my favorite scenes all to of my absolutely

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 1>my favorite scenes. And and I don't think. Here's what

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think fans understand is how difficult it was

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>for an adult with lots of experience off Broadway on

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Broadway in the film and TV business to come onto

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 1>that set with lots of dialogue like you had. You

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>had chunks and chunks and chunks of dialogue and spit

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>them out that quickly with a weathered, experienced cast that

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>had no problem with any of that stuff. And we

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>would see those people just freeze and melt down and

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.959
<v Speaker 1>they couldn't do it, and we, you know, of course

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>we'd help them, and they just couldn't relax sometimes and

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>you have to get them to relax. You came in

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.439
<v Speaker 1>from the first rehearsal nailing it, nailing and nailing it,

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 1>no problem nailing it, and we were all like, WHOA,

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 1>what do we have here? You know, we never saw that.

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>We didn't see that. We saw people coming in like

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, justifiably a little bit intimidated, right, and thought

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>that they were prepared. But then when they got up

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>to speed or what they thought was their speed, it

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, you gotta go faster, you gotta go faster,

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>you gotta go faster. And they'd look at me, and

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>they go, I don't, No, I can't do it any faster.

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>What am I going to do in there, buddy? But

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you just came in and crushed it, crushed it, And

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the fans need to understand, they're listening right now, how

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 1>difficult that is to do. And the fact that you

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:20.079
<v Speaker 1>were thirteen when you came in and did it.

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, wow.

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>And just I don't know that. I've never been that

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.839
<v Speaker 1>impressed with anyone in my entire career. And I don't

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 1>think you deserve to get all this backlash, and I

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>think it should stop. And it does. Listen, doesn't matter

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>how strong a person you are, how much you bat

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>it away, it's still going to affect somebody negative. So

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>let's be kind out there, people. Vanessa is an incredibly giving, generous, loving,

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>talented person. So let's just get off her back, okay,

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and let's just let's let's look at how gifted she

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>is and how hard working she is, and she she

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>achieved her goals. And you know, for me, you're an

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>inspiration and I think you should be an inspiration for

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>all people.

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:07.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be on this podcast all the time.

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's go, let's go. I don't I never liked the backlash.

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I never I never bought into it. I couldn't stand it.

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I just thought it was so mean.

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.560
<v Speaker 2>It was I mean, look at the time, it was

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 2>very mean, I will say like nowadays. I mean, you know,

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I just did a fan fest a little while ago,

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh did you? Yeah, I did, And it was really

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 2>nice because to see everybody in person see what this

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 2>show means to everybody. And I mean, that's why the

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.719
<v Speaker 2>backlash happened, is because it was so beloved, and your

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 2>two characters together were so beloved that all these years later,

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 2>it was really really nice to connect with people in

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:57.359
<v Speaker 2>person because you know, you know what the show means

0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 2>to people, and to be actually a part of that

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 2>and get to cannect with people, it definitely takes a

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of that that meanness away, or that anger way

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>it's oftentimes rooted to just sort of like a lack

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 2>of control, right because you're watching something that you want

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 2>to see go a certain way, not go that way. Also,

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>I think now, especially where we are as a society,

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 2>even though it's gotten so much worse with social media,

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the everyday person experiences that backup socially media. It's not

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.200
<v Speaker 2>just performers, and I actually think there's a lot more

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>grace right now and a lot more honesty about talking

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 2>about Hey, we should be very careful about how we

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 2>speak about people online, because it's a lot easier behind

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>a screen to say something horrible than it is to

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 2>say somebody's face. And that's things like anybody I've met

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 2>in person, especially now, Like in person now it's been

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 2>nothing but lovely and supportive, which is crazy because it

0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 2>was not that way back in the day at all.

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Right, people need to keep in mind that the Internet

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 1>is permanent. You write something, it stays. So anyway, let's

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.439
<v Speaker 1>shift gears a little bit. Tell us about the first

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>day on set. What was that like for you? What

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>do you remember about it? Your first day.

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I had a disposable camera and I was running around

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 2>just taking pictures of stars, hollow, not like just the set.

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I was a nerd. I was just like just using

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 2>a set, like literally like the gazebo, Taylor Docie's Market,

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 2>like all of that was like so amazing for me,

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.079
<v Speaker 2>But it was really really this is the first day

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 2>was the scene where I pull your hair right right,

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 2>right right, which I believe you said to me, like

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 2>you could go a little softer. It doesn't matter.

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Did you grow did you grow in there?

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 2>I was like, if we're doing this, we're doing this now.

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 2>But it was I mean, it was so great to

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 2>finally like, you know, you go through so many auditions

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.560
<v Speaker 2>and doing the thing and doing the thing, and to

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 2>actually be able to do it and and Gilmore Girls

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 2>was so much like a play with all the actual

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, steady cam and moving around blocking and it

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 2>was crazy. But I mean, I was just I was

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 2>in heaven. I Amy directed the episode that was the

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 2>listening in the entire world. Getting to meet you was

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 2>so cool and and what we had a lot of fun.

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I really really enjoyed our scenes because the ping ponging

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 2>and being able to play off of each other I

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 2>think was it was so it was it was you

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 2>don't get a lot of opportunities like that as an adult. Nevertheless,

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>as a child. Right like up to that point, I

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 2>had done, Like I said, I worked quite a bit,

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 2>and I've done some substantial things, but a lot of

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 2>it was just like daughter shows up and is like, Daddy,

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:49.479
<v Speaker 2>don't understand me, and then like walks to the other room.

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 2>There was no like monologue about like wanting to crush

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 2>a kid at a science fair and when the pasta

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you had some real I mean it was really

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 1>just the great You had so many great lines. Oh

0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you had the nice chunks. Tell us about that that

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 1>head piece, that helmet was that? Did you? Was it complicated?

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>You know you had to ride up on your bike,

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>come into the diner, talk to me, then take that

0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>thing off. I mean did you have to rehearse that?

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? And it didn't go well anytime. I was not

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 2>a great bike rider. I'm still not a great bike

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 2>rider to this day. And maybe we could all, you know,

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 2>directly trace it back to Gilmore Girls. One of the

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 2>things I had done prior to Gilmore Girls when I

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>was eleven was a film that Chris Read actually directed,

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 2>which was really cool to be a part of. And

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 2>the character that I played gets into an accident and

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 2>develops the same injury that that Christen, So she becomes

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 2>a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the neck down. And so I

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 2>had just done a bunch of stuff with paralysis and

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 2>like having to wear something called a halo, which is

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 2>where they like screw it into your head and like

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, put it on. I had to do multiple

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 2>scenes like that. So when I showed up on Gilmour

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Girls and they showed me that helmet, it was literally

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 2>designed the way a halo is for someone who So

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, actually know how to get into this,

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Like this is crazy, and they were like, perfect, wonderful.

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Now you're going to ride a bike with it on

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 2>top of you. I was like, excuse me. And then

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.920
<v Speaker 2>it was the taking it off in the scene that

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 2>was the hardest part because it was not the easiest

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>contraption to take off. But yeah, years and years later,

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 2>if they asked me to ride a bike on set,

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, this isn't gonna go. Well, guys, I'm not

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:50.960
<v Speaker 2>good at hitting the marks. I only think about this

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 2>heavy object that was on my head.

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Did you have to adapt to the fast pace of

0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the dialogue or did you just kind of cut really

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>remember you got it?

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I kind of got it. And again, I think that

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 2>came from watching it so much. I really like at

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:11.640
<v Speaker 2>that time, they were doing reruns on ABC Family every

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 2>day at five, so like me and my cousin would

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>watch it like at five like every day, so I

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 2>knew the pace of the show, like really really really well,

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 2>which I think ultimately is what helped me get the

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 2>part is it was so ingrained in me and so

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 2>well researched. I guess it's the only way you could

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 2>describe it. Yeah, I never had I was one of

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 2>the only people they never had to tell to go faster.

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Right, How many auditions did you have.

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:40.399
<v Speaker 2>A total of three?

0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Three auditions?

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Great? Yeah, so there was just like regular casting and

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 2>then like two with Amy and Dan.

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh so you did two with Amy and Dan? What

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:49.239
<v Speaker 1>was that like?

0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 2>We'll tell you it was very cool. I mean obviously

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:57.439
<v Speaker 2>like Amy and Dan are such personalities, right, yeah.

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.440
<v Speaker 1>But very warm and very welcoming.

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 2>You know. Here's thing like again, it's such a different

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.919
<v Speaker 2>experience as a thirteen year old girl who's obsessed with

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 2>the show, right, because you're just like I worship you,

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:11.679
<v Speaker 2>like I don't know how else to say it. And

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I believe they had changed the dialogue in between the

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.720
<v Speaker 2>two meetings, and so I did it the second time

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 2>and they were like, oh, the lines are different. And

0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 2>I think what helped me get it is I went okay, cool,

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and I looked at it and then I was just

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 2>able to do it right, which again that's like theater training, right,

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 2>that's h.

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a skill set exactly.

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. But they were always really, really really great to me.

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 2>And I remember I was such a musical theater nerd,

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 2>and I would talk to Dan all the time about

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 2>musical theater. And then when I did the revival fir Sing,

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Dan said to me, he goes, Hamilton. Are we talking

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 2>about Hamilton all day today?

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 1>What did you think about your character, April? What did

0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you think of her? Oh?

0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:00.639
<v Speaker 2>I loved her. I thought she was such a cool

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 2>character because she was so so herself at such a

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 2>young age, and so weirdly obsessive with certain things, you

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.480
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, Like when I had that scene

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.119
<v Speaker 2>at the diner with you where I decided to fill

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the salt and pepper shakers because I want to like

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.920
<v Speaker 2>test the different quantities. Or I'm not a science person,

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.920
<v Speaker 2>so I barely understood what April was always excited about.

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 2>But I love that she was excited about those things.

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:32.919
<v Speaker 2>And I think Gilmore Girls as a whole was a

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:37.159
<v Speaker 2>show for the smart girls, is the only way I

0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.880
<v Speaker 2>could say it. Like it made Even though April wasn't

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 2>quote unquote cool, she was never under confident in the

0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.399
<v Speaker 2>fact that she was so smart or she was so

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.960
<v Speaker 2>nerdy that she liked you know, science, same thing with Rory,

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 2>I always say, you know, it was one of the

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.520
<v Speaker 2>only shows where like the decision of which college she

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.760
<v Speaker 2>went to was just as important as like which boy

0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.399
<v Speaker 2>she was dating. And so that was some that I

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 2>loved so much about the show, and getting to play

0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 2>a character like that that wasn't wasn't ashamed of herself,

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.119
<v Speaker 2>which you know, so many thirteen year old girls you

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 2>go through that uncomfortableness about yourself and figuring it out.

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 2>But to see someone who was just so like confident

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 2>in their self at such a young age and did

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 2>not care that she was really really strange, you know

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. She was a little little bit of

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 2>an oddball. But I loved that about her. And as

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 2>an actor, that's more fun to play obvious.

0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.920
<v Speaker 1>So you must have got absolutely you must have gotten

0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 1>some fans that were inspired by you.

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Now now for sure, now there's a lot of young

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 2>women now who are like I was the science girl.

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Like I loved that there was a science girl represent

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:52.359
<v Speaker 2>on television. Like I said, back in the day, not

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:53.160
<v Speaker 2>so much.

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, but well, look good so you're getting

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>some positive feedback from this and and and proving to

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 1>be uh an inspiration to people. That's that's great. Do

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 1>you have a Do you have a favorite episode.

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Of the whole series or of what I of the

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 2>whole series? Oh that's hard, man, that's hard.

0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, Let's go from what you shot?

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, from what? From what what I shot. I feel

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.119
<v Speaker 2>like that first episode because there was so much writing

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 2>on it, you know what I mean?

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I did also really like our our Bus episode, but

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.160
<v Speaker 2>that one wasn't as fun to shoot because we were

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 2>in a bus and I had to sing the chemical

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 2>elements over and over and over again for what felt

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:41.400
<v Speaker 2>like six hours.

0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh right, right, right, right right right?

0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that those two ring in my ear. And

0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:48.440
<v Speaker 2>then I do have my all time. My all time

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.919
<v Speaker 2>is moving Rory into Yale with the mattress going back

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:53.919
<v Speaker 2>and forth. That's a great episode.

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, cool? So what are you working on now?

0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:58.560
<v Speaker 1>What have you been doing?

0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Well? I've been on strike, but I actually my mom,

0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 2>my sister and myself started moving into producing, which was

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:11.480
<v Speaker 2>really really cool. He produced a film that my sister

0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and I started called Saving Zoe that came out in

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:17.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen. In twenty twenty one, we produced a film

0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 2>for Netflix that just my sister starred in, she My

0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Mom Myself, and I produced as well, called The Royal Treatment. Yeah.

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:26.239
<v Speaker 2>That was really really great. So we've been growing a

0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 2>production company, getting more into that. I've been transitioning into directing.

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I directed a music video for my sister that's on

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 2>YouTube called some Day.

0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:36.040
<v Speaker 1>And my.

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Favorite directors well, I mean like Nancy Myers and Nora E.

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 2>F Ron like love Love Love, obsessed with Obsessed. I

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.440
<v Speaker 2>also love Mark Webb who did Five Hundred Days of

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Summer and you did the pilot episode A crazy ex Girlfriend. Like,

0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I think he's such a cool visionary and everything that

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 2>you see of him is very very clearly him. Yeah.

0:22:57.680 --> 0:23:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I think they're all fantastic. But that's when. Yeah, what

0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 2>I've been working on, I mean also acting as well.

0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I did a Christmas movie for Discovery Plus a little

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 2>while ago called One Delicious Christmas and Bobby Flay play

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:15.399
<v Speaker 2>the Food Critic, and that was hilarious. Fayre had just

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:17.879
<v Speaker 2>come out and I was just like, so, like, do

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 2>you guys really call each other chef? Like do you

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:24.239
<v Speaker 2>really like call every much Ja, Yes, why is this

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.359
<v Speaker 2>so interesting to you? And I was like, h obviously

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I've been candid. I have nothing else to talk about,

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 2>so I want to talk about this.

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Right right, right, right right. Okay, So we're going to

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 1>play a little game now called rapid fire. Doesn't require

0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you to answer these quickly. However, we just call it

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:53.439
<v Speaker 1>rapid fire. We don't even know why. Ready, here we go.

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 1>How do you like your coffee? Assuming you're a coffee drinker.

0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I am a coffee drinker. I use to like it

0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:05.040
<v Speaker 2>like with milk and sugar. I've now transitioned into black

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 2>coffee as I've gotten older.

0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you team Logan Team Jess or Team Dean Team Jess?

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Logan? Get out of here?

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I say, what really? Why tell us tell us your thoughts?

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 2>OI, old rich boy, Old rich boy didn't.

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Think didn't you think he was the smartest one of

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the bunch?

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's hard? Uh? He Jess and him are both

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 2>very smart. Jess is hard because like, Jess was a

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 2>teenager when we met him and not like turning into

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.120
<v Speaker 2>an adult right then when Jess comes back, I would

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.920
<v Speaker 2>say they're comparatively smart.

0:24:42.040 --> 0:24:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Who is your favorite Gilmore Girls couple? Luke and Lorelei

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:46.600
<v Speaker 1>or Emily and Richard.

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Emily and Richard. I love Emily and Richard.

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Would you rather work with Michelle or Kirk?

0:24:56.400 --> 0:25:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think I did work with Kirk. I'm trying

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 2>to think here, Well, Kirk would be a better character

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 2>wise Michelle. That's hard. It seems like Michelle's been able

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 2>to keep the same job, so there's one would argue

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>he's a better worker by that logic, But from what

0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:17.639
<v Speaker 2>you see on TV, Kirk seeds nicer.

0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Mm hm. Would you rather hang out with Paris or Lane?

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean in reality Lane, in television lay on Paris

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 2>because she has some of the best scenes and the

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.359
<v Speaker 2>most entertaining moments ever. So like from if you're like,

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 2>if I was like trailing and like writing a book,

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I would want to be following Paris because I feel

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:43.400
<v Speaker 2>like the material you would get out of that would

0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:43.800
<v Speaker 2>be better.

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm.

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:47.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Harvard or Yale?

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean Harvard, why if I'm going to go into

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the thing of the show, I don't like that she

0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 2>kept inside the same legacy of the family story point wise,

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:07.879
<v Speaker 2>totally understand it gave more more room and more drama,

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:10.119
<v Speaker 2>but ultimately I think the reason she ended up dropping

0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:12.960
<v Speaker 2>out of Yale was because she put the pressure on

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:16.120
<v Speaker 2>herself to do things exactly like how her grandfather did,

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 2>whereas Harvard would have been her own person further away

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.439
<v Speaker 2>from stars Hollow, which I think probably would have been

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.199
<v Speaker 2>good for her because one could argue she had a

0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 2>codependent relationship with her mother.

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm, mm hmmm. All right, Harvard, or drop out

0:26:31.960 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and live in a poolhouse Harvard.

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:39.040
<v Speaker 2>No one approves of the living in the poolhouse gap year.

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I support I support the gap year. I do not

0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:43.760
<v Speaker 2>like that she just wasn't doing anything.

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha? Would you rather attend a dar event with Emily

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 1>or a town meeting with Taylor?

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh, town meeting with Taylor?

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh? Gilmore. Girl's character that you would want as

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a roommate?

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:05.480
<v Speaker 2>A roommate ooh oh, that's tough. Who would be a

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:07.120
<v Speaker 2>good roommate? Probably Suki?

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Suki is a roommate. Yeah, a mother of two children.

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm assuming she's going through a divorce at that point.

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:15.920
<v Speaker 2>If she's getting.

0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:19.840
<v Speaker 1>She's moving it. So you want Suki divorced with children.

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I want Suki fighting for custody.

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha? Okay, that might be the best answer we've ever

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:32.400
<v Speaker 1>had on rapid fire something in your life. You are

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:33.240
