So look, thanks for joining us.

How 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.400 did you get the role? 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:40.880 I got offered the role. 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:42.120 Nice. 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.639 It's one of those you know, when those things work out, 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:46.840 it's always so nice. 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:47.120 You know. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.239 There's like rumors going around and like, oh, actors would 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:51.639 much rather read for the part. 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.120 And no, no way. 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.160 It's much nicer for them to call up and you say, yeah, yes, 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.080 I'd love to yes. 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.960 So yeah, so you so they just ordered to tell 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.680 us about how you saw mitcham how you interpreted the role, 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.200 because it's in the writing, right And I always found 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.640 that Amy and Dan's writing was so ultra specific that 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.240 you didn't really need to do much with it. I mean, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.720 it's just there on the page. So how did you 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:24.720 approach this role? 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:26.240 Oh? 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.280 Yeah, Well, first of all, I totally agree about their writing. 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:36.040 It's so clear and specific and uh and uh and 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:43.000 musical and unique and and uh and that's you know, 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.040 what was exciting about the part is the language, first 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.120 of all. But then they then it was in terms 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.000 of Mitch and I. 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:58.200 You know, I I looked at him and his uh a. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.320 Guy who's doing his job and is trying to in 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:05.520 trying to do his best to help uh young Rory 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.360 in the in the situation that he's put in, and 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.720 uh and and believes believes all of his advice to her, 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.280 and uh and I think it's some good advice to 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:22.120 her times of course, where the opinion's part is where 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.200 it's where I say, I don't I don't think you 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.840 got it. I don't think you can cut it. And that, 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:32.360 of course is a great great smack to all the 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:33.719 fans and to Rory herself. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.839 But then then it sort of escalates, as as. 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:43.560 I guess, uh, the relationship of Logan and Rory escalated, 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:48.160 and so I it was then other things kind of 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.159 became clear about him, you know, that we're that he 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.080 that was kind of revealed actually that he had a 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.320 harder line about sort of family and class and that 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.320 sort of thing than then I originally thought when I 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.560 originally started working on it, you know what I mean? 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.200 Hm, Right, things came out in scripts that you hadn't 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:13.960 seen yet, Yeah, right, you're right. Yeah, that was a 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:18.360 big scene. I think one of the most satisfying scenes 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.000 that I have witnessed so far. And because I'm only 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.960 up to season six, episode nine at this point, because 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.240 I never saw the show, I never watched the show. 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.800 I mean I saw the pilot obviously, but I and 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:38.279 I was forced to see one of the Netflix iterations 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:40.240 because I had to go to the premiere and I 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.120 was forced to sit in the theater and watch it. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.560 I usually excuse myself and go to the bar next 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.760 door or something, because I want to avoid it, all 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:50.120 the pain. 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.279 They're taking a great weight off of my shoulders. 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.200 Because I was going to say, my knowledge is not 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.320 encyclopedic of the whole show. 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.640 Nora is mine. 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:04.159 I know the fans are so wonderfully dedicated and their 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:05.480 knowledge is encyclopedic. 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.960 So right it is. But one of the more satisfying 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.800 and bizarre and funny scenes I ever have ever seen 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.560 on that show or any show, was when Logan brings 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.680 Rory to the Huntsburger home for dinner. It was divine, 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:28.080 It was existential, surreal, anything you want to throw at it, 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:33.400 it was. It was just beautiful filmmaking. It was unbelievably funny, 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.120 and the woman who plays your wife was hysterical. It 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:41.159 was hysterical. I haven't laughed that hard at that show. 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.760 With all the stick and all the jokes, all the joking, 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:48.280 just that scene provided more comedy for me than anything 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:52.400 I've seen on that show. And I mean, she got 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:56.359 eaten alive in that scene. And I guess Mitcham is 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.560 basing her inability to defend herself at that dinner and 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.400 her inability to speak up in a meeting with you, 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:10.320 in attendance with other newspaper employees about ideas and stories 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.920 and this kind of thing. So you determined that she 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.560 just wasn't cut out for this business because she's not assertive, 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:17.240 you know, she's not a go getter. 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.920 She's not you know, I you know, I think that 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:25.960 that's very much part of the assessment, you know, not 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:30.200 just her writing skills, but the whole package. 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:36.320 Right, And now we're gonna let's talk about Matt Zukri, 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:45.520 who I find to be Mattie Alphabet, Matt terrific guy, 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:52.440 h terrific actor. And just I think that's the thing 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:57.280 that people don't realize how good he is, because if 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.200 he can stand with you. And the one thing I 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:01.880 do remember that I haven't seen that I haven't seen 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.360 the episode, but the Malibu fallout in the Malibu, Yeah, 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:09.480 the Malibu. That scene to me was, I mean, if 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.320 if Maddie can stand up to you and go back 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:18.040 and forth like that, with that level of ferocity. I thought, Wow, 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.600 there's there's more than meets the eye here. This kid 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.360 really has some skills if he can do that, because 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:25.520 that's hard to do. 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.120 Oh, he has big skills. And he's a you know, 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.680 just real talent. But he's a real hard worker too 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:37.280 at what he does. You know, he's like he's very very. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:39.440 Intent on that. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.760 It was still while maintaining you know, very you know, 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.400 sort of cool equili delibrium you know, on. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:47.480 Set and everything. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.520 You know, he's great to talk with and everything, and 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:52.079 and it's funny. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.040 I I have. 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.199 A good buddy that's works with him on The Resident 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.320 for all those years and talks about how he's just 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:04.120 his work thick, you know, just amazing, and in that's 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.440 in that scene I recall just just you know, having 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:08.720 fun is just like the gates. 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.360 The gates went up and off we went. 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:10.880 You know. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.840 The thing, the thing I appreciate about his work so 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.880 much is how like all of that hard work pays 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.960 off and how smooth his delivery is and how effortless 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.760 and how easy it is. And it's just I love 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.720 watching that kid. I really do that scene between you 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.120 two guys, is just the class. It's you're involved in 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:37.720 classic Gilmore scenes in my estimation, love love, love the work. 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.840 All right, So you're you're, you're, you're in a one 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.800 minute conversation with Orys where you tell her she doesn't 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.760 have what it takes to be a writer. Uh, and 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:52.400 it changed the direct trajectory of her life. Do you 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:56.240 think Mitcham was too hard Do you think Mitchen does 0:09:56.280 --> 0:10:02.640 Greg think Mitchen was too hard on Rory? You the actor, 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:04.120 you you're the. 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:05.800 Guy given all the fan reaction. 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:12.000 Absolutely, But if I think on if I think on it, 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:17.600 I I think it was without a second chance, you 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:18.120 know what I mean? 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.840 It was. It was it was a pretty harsh you know, 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:25.520 he didn't he didn't, you know, send it to the 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.800 minor leagues for a little while or anything. He really 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.959 just said, you're out of here. You know, it's not 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:36.000 going to work for you. And and that sort of 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.719 thing is you know, it's said to people in all 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.200 kinds of fields of endeavor, but but but certainly in 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.920 show business that's said a lot, right, and uh, and 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.960 and that you don't have it and you're not going 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.840 to cut it and now and and those things uh 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.640 uh cut deep to use a phrase, so it's like 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.040 it's they are life changing. I've known him to be 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.240 life changing for a lot of people, and uh and 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.800 and life changing for periods of my life and you 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:06.440 know what I mean. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.839 So mm hmm. There's another scene you do with ed 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:15.920 Herman in the bathroom. Richard confronts you and you come 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.000 clean about offering her an internship and how your family 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.800 treated Rory to dinner. How do you remember what do 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.800 you remember most about working with that and that scene? 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.880 If you remember, He's just a wonderful guy and I 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.800 was a fan of his work, you know, and so 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.320 it was it was just a great thrill, and he 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.800 was he was quite funny on the set and very 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.280 sort of you know, he's he plays all these kind 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:47.120 of very close to the best tight guys, you know, 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:51.040 and I didn't find him to be that way, and 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.640 I found him to be, you know, very very fun 0:11:55.720 --> 0:12:00.800 and and. 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:00.880 And again not a lot of you know, there there 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:01.560 wasn't a lot. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.560 Of razzle dazzle or discussion or anything. It was it 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.800 was just kind of let's play and we did. 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:15.520 Yeah, you think you were pushing you think Mitcham was 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.880 pushing logan too hard to get into the business. 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:20.400 I mean, I think he's I think he was a 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.120 harsh critic of his son, and I think he's a tough, 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:26.440 a tough father to have. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.920 I think that that's certainly true. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:36.320 How many newspapers did mitcham control?
