Speaker 1: you can prove that both of them were lying in
Speaker 1: their interviews.
Speaker 5: Wow, it is serious here on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Don't worry before we get into go figure itself. We
Speaker 1: always like to ask how did you start your entertainment journey?
Speaker 1: Where did you grow up? And how did you decide
Speaker 1: that you wanted to be in the industry.
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like kind of when I popped
Speaker 4: right out of the womb, I came out with tap shoes.
Speaker 2: Ooh.
Speaker 3: I just always with you know, like they saw me come.
Speaker 4: And I was just kind of always like a performer.
Speaker 4: I remember like dancing on my mom and dad's coffee
Speaker 4: table all the time. They own a flower shop, so
Speaker 4: I was really used to being around people, so I
Speaker 4: would like help. Even when I was like four or five,
Speaker 4: I'd be waiting on people, which customers found alarming, but
Speaker 4: I was very insistent on it.
Speaker 2: You will buy this tulip.
Speaker 3: Is your mom here? My mom is busy. What can
Speaker 3: I get for you?
Speaker 2: What can I get for it?
Speaker 3: So great, and I was just really lucky.
Speaker 4: We grew up in a community that really nurtured the arts,
Speaker 4: and we had a wonderful theater. At the time it
Speaker 4: was called Actunes and now it's called Conquered Youth Theater.
Speaker 4: And I actually grew up with kind of a slew
Speaker 4: of really successful actors, probably the most successful being Chris Evans.
Speaker 4: Get heard of him, heard of them, So I always
Speaker 4: say I've played his mother, brother, sister, father, everything. So yeah,
Speaker 4: so Actunes like was just awesome. They got me in there.
Speaker 4: I think in fourth grade I started doing musicals, and
Speaker 4: then we also had a wonderful summer camp Middlesex Summer Arts.
Speaker 4: It's a private school during the year, and then a
Speaker 4: summer camp. So I also went with that same group
Speaker 4: of kids every summer. So I was just so fortunate
Speaker 4: to have that available and then have a family that,
Speaker 4: you know, we weren't wealthy by any means, but all
Speaker 4: of all of our money kind of went.
Speaker 3: Towards you know that kind of the theater.
Speaker 2: Well that sounds like you were wealthy in support, which
Speaker 2: is really what you need entertainment, which is great.
Speaker 3: And I had all.
Speaker 5: Those things just so close to you and like able
Speaker 5: to grasp reach amazing, and.
Speaker 4: It really like totally saved me. I mean I was
Speaker 4: you know, I was a chunky kid and bullied, really
Speaker 4: hardcore bullied, and so I mean I just remember that
Speaker 4: first audition. It was for Tom Sawyer and it was
Speaker 4: my third grade teacher, Jane Lifton.
Speaker 3: She cast me as Tom's mom.
Speaker 4: And I just like everything got better from then on.
Speaker 4: Parents were like the whole your whole life changed just
Speaker 4: by having that one teacher believe in you and give
Speaker 4: you a chance. And I actually recently saw her. She
Speaker 4: was lovely enough to come to my grandmother's funeral and
Speaker 4: I sang at my grandmother's funeral and she's.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, it was so beautiful. And I've never told
Speaker 3: you this, but when we first met, you could not
Speaker 3: sing a note time.
Speaker 4: I worked with you harder than any other student ever.
Speaker 4: There you go, like that Maine person like it does.
Speaker 4: She probably saved my life in the long run, like
Speaker 4: if I hadn't had that outlet, you know.
Speaker 3: So yeah, really splash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the importance of teachers, everybody, we talk about it
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 5: It is such an honor to be able to be
Speaker 5: like the teachers that at that take on that that task,
Speaker 5: and it really is just it's a huge, huge thing
Speaker 5: for kids.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, massive, massive yeah.
Speaker 4: Theater. I mean I think about all the peopeople who
Speaker 4: have come in and out of that theater over the years,
Speaker 4: and it really is like a life saver.
Speaker 3: I'm just so grateful for it.
Speaker 1: So then, how did that translate into auditions for the
Speaker 1: industry TV film.
Speaker 3: Once I got into theater, I was like ready to
Speaker 3: leave high school. I was like, I want out.
Speaker 4: So I combined junior and senior year and graduated when
Speaker 4: I was sixteen. Not due to being smart, just motivated to.
Speaker 3: Leave, Okay, I just wanted out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So then I went to New York City right after
Speaker 4: I turned seventeen to go to musical theater school. Okay,
Speaker 4: So I went to AMDA for two years, and then
Speaker 4: I did a musical theater tour of Pinocchio nice all
Speaker 4: around the country, and then kind of started to meet
Speaker 4: I met a friend in New York who's from LA
Speaker 4: and I've always like looked or not now, but you
Speaker 4: look a lot younger than I am, and I have
Speaker 4: this high voice. So my friend was like, you know,
Speaker 4: you do really well in Los Angeles because you're of
Speaker 4: legal age, but you can play high school, so like
Speaker 4: it would probably like makes sense for you to get
Speaker 4: out there now. So then I moved when I was nineteen,
Speaker 4: and I only knew her this one lovely girl, Kim Goldman.
Speaker 3: I came out just on my Kim. Thanks Kim, You're
Speaker 3: a great support system. Appreciate you.
Speaker 4: So yeah, we I moved out and I was just
Speaker 4: really confident and headstrong. I took a class with a
Speaker 4: commercial a commercial casting director, and afterwards I was like, hey,
Speaker 4: I need an agent. Can you help me do that?
Speaker 4: And he's like, oh, no one ever asks me that, Okay,
Speaker 4: and he's like, come in tomorrow. And I chatted with
Speaker 4: him and he made a phone call and it just
Speaker 4: worked out that a pretty good agency had just lost
Speaker 4: their like chubby girl, you know, so like I kind
Speaker 4: of fit this, I know. I mean I don't act
Speaker 4: so much anymore because you know, I'm a little over it.
Speaker 2: But yeah that's preaching acquire. Yeah, you know it's so.
Speaker 3: Rough and dark, very dark.
Speaker 4: But yeah, no, I really went through it, but really
Speaker 4: lucky that he believed in me and I had wonderful
Speaker 4: agents and they were they were really supportive.
Speaker 3: I mean, I definitely did. It was a long journey.
Speaker 4: Of like I got to the point where I ended
Speaker 4: up leaving a TV set once, like a multi cam
Speaker 4: comedy that was like an awesome job, and I was
Speaker 4: like I was only twenty two, I think, but I
Speaker 4: was like I can't do this. All of it was
Speaker 4: like fat chokes aimed at me and I was playing
Speaker 4: a thirteen year old oh, and I was like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, this is like the opposite of why I
Speaker 4: want to be in this business, Like, yeah, I want
Speaker 4: to encourage people to be happy with them their bodies
Speaker 4: and themselves.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 5: But year was that because it's like, if you think
Speaker 5: about it, it's something that now in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 5: it just wouldn't it seems changing.
Speaker 3: I think it is. I think it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's still there, but it's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: definitely changing.
Speaker 2: But everyone's like it's over. It's not.
Speaker 3: And I think I mean it's you know, it's kind
Speaker 3: of cyclical. It's up and down.
Speaker 4: But I think that was that was probably about twenty
Speaker 4: years ago, about the same time as I did this movie,
Speaker 4: because I did reach a point in two thousand and
Speaker 4: six where I had worked a lot, but I was
Speaker 4: getting approached really just to be like the site gag,
Speaker 4: like I remember, I think it was a Marlon Wayne's movie.
Speaker 3: They wanted me to.
Speaker 4: Like get stuck in a garage door like it like
Speaker 4: somehow like because I was too fat, and then my
Speaker 4: head would get cut off and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm drawing the line, I don't want.
Speaker 3: To do this, you know.
Speaker 4: But then that's the sitcom was called Still Standing, and
Speaker 4: it was so icky because like the lead of that
Speaker 4: show was this big, fat white guy, Mark Addy, and
Speaker 4: he was like making fat jokes at my character's expense,
Speaker 4: and I was so uncomfortable. And luckily the lead actress,
Speaker 4: Jamie Gertz, was fabulous, and she was like she could
Speaker 4: see how upset I was, and she pulled everybody aside.
Speaker 3: And and so the.
Speaker 1: Legend, I mean, Jamie Gertz is straight up legend from
Speaker 1: she's a brat packer.
Speaker 2: I mean, she was.
Speaker 1: She's one of the og awesome. I've also heard couldn't
Speaker 1: have been a nicer human being. I've heard that from
Speaker 1: several people.
Speaker 3: She was so great.
Speaker 4: And you know, I as a guest star, you know,
Speaker 4: I hadn't been a series regular or anything. At that point.
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna just walk storm off set. I was
Speaker 4: going to call my agent afterwards. But she could see
Speaker 4: how ikey it was and she was feeling gross about it,
Speaker 4: and and then it.
Speaker 3: Was so tacky.
Speaker 4: I mean they ended up, you know, essentially firing me,
Speaker 4: which was fine. I still got paid and I didn't
Speaker 4: have to do the job. And so then I was like,
Speaker 4: I cannot wait to see how they rewrite this episode.
Speaker 4: And they just rewrote it to be an ugly girl instead.
Speaker 3: Of a fat girl.
Speaker 4: So really high brow, highbrow work.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, and that that show didn't last.
Speaker 2: It sounds like it last out a while.
Speaker 4: I mean it really was definitely a handful of seasons,
Speaker 4: like you know, but what a bummer.
Speaker 3: But I was happy. I was never so happy to
Speaker 3: be fired. I was like, oh thank god.
Speaker 4: I was like, I can't sleep at night, Like yeah, no, no, gross.
Speaker 4: I've always been like a curvy gal, but I'm not
Speaker 4: like morbidly obese and you'd pick and then you picture.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm thinking of kids watching me on screen
Speaker 4: being made fun of, Like how is that going to
Speaker 4: affect their Nike?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and what the you know, the industry unfortunately, like
Speaker 5: the size of what's not thick or not you know, yes, skinny,
Speaker 5: the correct size is just so unrealistic.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Well it also really highlights I think an even bigger issue,
Speaker 1: which is and we saw this really on Boy Mets
Speaker 1: World when we were in seventh season. I had put
Speaker 1: on like thirty five pounds or forty pounds, and Danielle
Speaker 1: Fischer had put on like eight or nine, and it
Speaker 1: was like, look, how big Danielle has gotten. To the
Speaker 1: point where they wrote an episode literally about the two
Speaker 1: of us putting on weight. And it was like, I
Speaker 1: was because I was a guy, and.
Speaker 2: I was the funny guy. Nobody really said boo.
Speaker 1: But because Danielle was the pretty girl and put on
Speaker 1: a tiny amount of weight at nineteen or whatever the
Speaker 1: hell she was, that was all you heard about was Wow,
Speaker 1: Danielle got big, and we're going to write it up.
Speaker 1: I mean, so you It was also very much had
Speaker 1: to do with whether you were a girl or.
Speaker 2: A boy totally how you were treated in the industry.
Speaker 1: So thankfully we think it's getting better.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it takes time. All that stuff takes time.
Speaker 2: But there's the.
Speaker 1: Straight up body shaming for a joke. Is hopeful crazy
Speaker 1: a thing of the past.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and just like yeah, just fascinating. And it was
Speaker 4: always like the same ten of us, like Hollywood chubby
Speaker 4: girls at every audition, you know, you know, you get
Speaker 4: used to showing up with your same type, but it
Speaker 4: was just like always the ten of us and we're
Speaker 4: all and I was doing so well for so long.
Speaker 4: You could I would like walk in the room and
Speaker 4: you could see to'd be like, oh, great, cheeseier because
Speaker 4: I was like booking fairly consistently, am but you know,
Speaker 4: but then you know, I'd feel the I'd be like,
Speaker 4: well I saw that one.
Speaker 3: She got my part last time.
Speaker 4: But but yeah, but go figure was I think two
Speaker 4: thousand and five, Yeah, it was this this time, so
Speaker 4: exactly twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: Actually, so that's what, well, what I want to ask
Speaker 2: you about.
Speaker 1: So this, I mean, this just comes across your desk
Speaker 1: like a regular audition, right, like, hey, here's it.
Speaker 4: Here's a regular Disney just a regular Disney movie audition.
Speaker 4: That was my first Disney movie audition.
Speaker 5: I think I was gonna say, is that were you
Speaker 5: going out for Disney things here and there?
Speaker 4: Some some not a ton I'm not as much as
Speaker 4: maybe I should have been, like with my kind of
Speaker 4: Disney voice and yeah, but I've been doing just a
Speaker 4: lot of guest stars and this came.
Speaker 3: You know, I went in and it was a very
Speaker 3: classic actor story like okay and can you ice skate?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 2: And you're like, oh, Jordan is the same thing.
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, of course, of course I can juggle
Speaker 1: on horseback.
Speaker 2: Why why would you even ask that?
Speaker 3: Yes, ridiculous question, of course. And then I remember I
Speaker 3: think it was just one.
Speaker 4: It might have been like a pre read with casting
Speaker 4: and then with producers, and then they were like, you
Speaker 4: have two weeks and then you're going to be doing
Speaker 4: an ice skating audition, so like I could ice skate.
Speaker 3: You know, I grew up in New England, so I could.
Speaker 2: Wear New England. Did you grow up? I'm just curious.
Speaker 4: Outside of like in the burbs of Boston, act in Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: Okay, acting? Well, so okay, cool? From Connecticut.
Speaker 1: So I'm from Connecticut, Oh yeah, yeah, and all my
Speaker 1: family's in Plymouth, mass and and and Worcester so okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: no I know the area. Well, this is also producer
Speaker 1: Jensen is laughing right now. I need to know exactly
Speaker 1: where everybody's from.
Speaker 3: But I like it, like.
Speaker 4: I'm like that in l A when somebody tells me
Speaker 4: their neighborhood. I'm like, yeah, but like what crosstreats, I
Speaker 4: like to know where everybody again, as a.
Speaker 1: New England kid, I'm and you must have had you've
Speaker 1: had you had some cold weather experience.
Speaker 4: Something like stand on skates, but like you know, I
Speaker 4: was not in good shape, you know, and and it's
Speaker 4: different just to like you know, tool around the rink.
Speaker 3: Or other than like play hockey, you know. But I
Speaker 3: was really lucky.
Speaker 4: One of my best friends that I had grown up
Speaker 4: with had just moved to l a and he was
Speaker 4: a hockey player. Oh, my friend Johnny So John Johnny Johnny,
Speaker 4: we were we were just rehashing this story.
Speaker 3: He so I was like, you got to help me, man,
Speaker 3: Like I don't know how I'm going to do this.
Speaker 4: I was like, this is a really good role for me,
Speaker 4: Like I know I can do this. This is like
Speaker 4: very this is a really good opportunity. So we got
Speaker 4: to make this happen. So I bought like secondhand pads
Speaker 4: and a stick and all the stuff, and we went
Speaker 4: to Pickwick and Burbank.
Speaker 3: R I p yes, everybody I went.
Speaker 1: I went to.
Speaker 2: I think it's still there.
Speaker 3: I think it just closed, like literally, it must have
Speaker 3: been like just I think in the last three months
Speaker 3: probably Oh no, is it really gone? So I'm pretty
Speaker 3: sure all right, delivering the.
Speaker 2: Oh No is the best.
Speaker 3: I'm like ninety nine percent shirts.
Speaker 1: Every child actor whoever had to be on skates ever
Speaker 1: learned at Pickwick totally.
Speaker 3: I don't know where we go now.
Speaker 4: So yeah, we would practice and practice, and my main
Speaker 4: thing is I just like refuse to learn to stop.
Speaker 4: Like I was like, can I just like go into
Speaker 4: the boards? So I was just like, so I'd be
Speaker 4: skating fine and then just throw.
Speaker 3: Myself into the wall.
Speaker 4: And my friend, my friend Johnny was just like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, this is just you're never going to get
Speaker 4: this job.
Speaker 3: Like I remember calling him to telling tell him I
Speaker 3: got it, and he was shocked, I got it.
Speaker 2: You did? I don't know how to stop? You did it?
Speaker 3: Did you just like just skate right out of the rink.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm pat it. I'll just throw myself
Speaker 3: in the wall. It's time. That was such a good
Speaker 3: idea to prep with pads.
Speaker 5: I don't think I would have actually thought of that
Speaker 5: because those have to be so awkward and bulky to
Speaker 5: like maneuver around, like not only are you on skates,
Speaker 5: but you have these like yeah, cardboard looking boxes around
Speaker 5: your body. Oh man, that was a good, good, good thing.
Speaker 4: It was definitely a look like I had a bunch
Speaker 4: of and it was a mismatched, you know, because I
Speaker 4: went to the secondhand store so I have like different
Speaker 4: knee pads and.
Speaker 1: And that you couldn't have a more Disney story than
Speaker 1: that to get the second pad. All this kind of
Speaker 1: just so I can learn how to ice skate. It's
Speaker 1: like that's a Disney story into itself.
Speaker 3: It was awesome.
Speaker 5: Have you had a chance now now that you know
Speaker 5: you shocked your friend Johnny you went and filmed it.
Speaker 5: Have you had a chance to go back and watch it?
Speaker 3: Yes? We know, didn't you? I hadn't.
Speaker 4: I hadn't seen it in years, and I have two
Speaker 4: nephews and they had really never I've been done TV
Speaker 4: in like a long time, so they have not really
Speaker 4: seen me on screen. So when I was home this fall,
Speaker 4: I was like, or not even no, they're just a spring.
Speaker 4: A couple of months ago, I was like, would you
Speaker 4: guys want to watch this hockey movie that aunt Amy's in?
Speaker 3: And they're like, Amy's in a movie and I was
Speaker 3: like yeah.
Speaker 4: So we watched it together and it was so fun
Speaker 4: to watch them watch it, and like, especially the little one.
Speaker 3: Was like Amy, that's you on Amy, that's you, that's
Speaker 3: you jumping up and down.
Speaker 1: Really pointing out again, uh, because I get a lot
Speaker 1: of ish for this from my friends as well.
Speaker 2: You're pronouncing it correctly from the East coast. It is
Speaker 2: aunt not it. Thank you very much, very happy to
Speaker 2: hear that. It's so much so okay.
Speaker 1: So you you you learn how to skate, just not
Speaker 1: how to stem up, which, by the way, and I'm
Speaker 1: exactly the same way. That's how you do it. What
Speaker 1: was it like when you got to the set? Was
Speaker 1: their intense hockey training? I mean, I think we heard
Speaker 1: about some serious it was really beating up your body's
Speaker 1: hockey training.
Speaker 2: Can you tell us a little about what that was like?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was early mornings.
Speaker 4: We coached with the I think she had was the
Speaker 4: coach for the Salt Lake City Olympics, so.
Speaker 3: She was like a real hockey coach. And it was
Speaker 3: I'm not an early morning girl. Never happened, never will be.
Speaker 3: And we were picked up at like five am, you know,
Speaker 3: and it's freezing cold, and.
Speaker 5: We're just like, like it is here in l A
Speaker 5: right now, Yeah, in the sixties, it's.
Speaker 1: Like sixty odd degrees and she's like, it's freezing it.
Speaker 5: Will I were arguing about it before we brought you.
Speaker 3: No, I don't like it either, so I get it.
Speaker 3: It's like I just want my son all the time.
Speaker 4: So so yeah, no, it was really hard and exhausting
Speaker 4: and kind of, you know, kind of miserable.
Speaker 3: I was the.
Speaker 4: Oldest maybe I don't know one of the actresses. If
Speaker 4: you even like mentioned the word age, she would run
Speaker 4: and hide. So so I don't Actually, she could have been ten,
Speaker 4: or she could have been sixty.
Speaker 3: She was playing thirteen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so, but generally speaking, I think I was one
Speaker 4: of the only ones. I think maybe Whitney might have emancipated.
Speaker 4: I think at that point.
Speaker 5: But wait, no, Tanya by that time was in her twenties,
Speaker 5: wasn't she.
Speaker 3: Well, she's the one. I don't know. She could have
Speaker 3: been sixty. She couldn't keeat.
Speaker 2: I think she was six. And we've heard that with
Speaker 2: other people.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, she was like you would you There's no
Speaker 4: way you could get her to answer that question.
Speaker 2: Oh no, we had one.
Speaker 1: We had one actress that was literally twenty six playing thirteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 4: Twenty three playing thirteen, So okay, I think it was
Speaker 4: or maybe it was twenty four, but yeah, no, twenty three.
Speaker 3: It must have been twenty three thirteen.
Speaker 4: So most most of the kids had their moms with them,
Speaker 4: and you could definitely tell the moms were like weary
Speaker 4: of me, you know, like, oh no, like this this
Speaker 4: this is like a woman, you know.
Speaker 2: Like what is she up to?
Speaker 1: You know, like just handing out cigarettes and booze to
Speaker 1: all the kids.
Speaker 4: Essentially not to them, but like I was living my
Speaker 4: best life there on my own.
Speaker 6: You know, like you really yeah, like really going for it,
Speaker 6: because I was like, I had this sweet hotel room
Speaker 6: in Salt Lake City, this giant, huge, sweet I I
Speaker 6: think I was there for three months.
Speaker 3: I flew two different dudes in that I was dating
Speaker 3: to come visit me. Nice, just in a fun way,
Speaker 3: not scandalous, you know.
Speaker 1: Fine.
Speaker 3: I was in my ear you're floss. You're like I
Speaker 3: was in my early twenties in on in a movie.
Speaker 3: So I am independent.
Speaker 5: I can pay my own bill, get you a plane
Speaker 5: ticket out here.
Speaker 1: You said you're flying dudes in while playing a thirteen
Speaker 1: year old in a d com.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like, freaking I love that, you know, possibly.
Speaker 3: You know you're smoking a little you know, marijuana up
Speaker 3: the window.
Speaker 2: Hit the dresses, revel I hand I love it.
Speaker 3: Gary marsh Wll.
Speaker 4: I had it together on set and I was there
Speaker 4: always on time. But yeah, but we you know, we
Speaker 4: would be done at three, so I would like go
Speaker 4: and but it's also Salt Lake City, so it was
Speaker 4: a dry town. So I remember you had to like
Speaker 4: if I had a day off once, so I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm just going to like see what.
Speaker 3: These bars are like.
Speaker 4: Obviously by myself is the one woman in maage really
Speaker 4: that I knew of.
Speaker 3: And and you.
Speaker 4: Had to like get a little card like a membership
Speaker 4: card to go to the bar or something.
Speaker 3: It was like some weird law.
Speaker 4: They had there really, since it was like a dry
Speaker 4: town in a way. But no, I know, I was
Speaker 4: up to no good and I was keeping it under
Speaker 4: under wraps. But the moms knew, like they saw me coming.
Speaker 3: They were like, what is this.
Speaker 2: Girl, Chidry?
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 2: Nice just coming and smelling like bars and weed, Like
Speaker 2: are we skating today? So I'm happy to hear all
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 1: So even though there was a big age difference, did
Speaker 1: you all bond as a cast pretty quickly?
Speaker 3: Pretty quick? Yeah? I mean we were all really different.
Speaker 4: I would say, like very very different, much like kind
Speaker 4: of the archetypes of the characters in the movie. Everyone
Speaker 4: was very different. But we had all been working in
Speaker 4: Hollywood for a while and so we would but we
Speaker 4: wouldn't hang out a ton of I mean, it was
Speaker 4: kind of exhausting by the time we got home from
Speaker 4: either practicing or filming. Everyone kind of just like went
Speaker 4: to them their own room.
Speaker 1: Did it's also twenty three and fifteen or whatever. That's no,
Speaker 1: you might as well be ten and eighty. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's a huge age difference at that age.
Speaker 4: I would say I probably chatted more with the moms
Speaker 4: than the kids, really, but they were all like really nice,
Speaker 4: like lovely girls.
Speaker 3: There was not a lot of ego or nice you know.
Speaker 4: But it was my biggest memory of it was like
Speaker 4: they really didn't tell us when we were doing all
Speaker 4: this ice skating practice that we were.
Speaker 3: Gonna have doubles.
Speaker 4: So like we put in all of this work like
Speaker 4: skating and skating, and I'm like stressing out, like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, I'm gonna have to do do this and
Speaker 4: then then we have a double to do all.
Speaker 3: The hard work. And I was like, wait, why do
Speaker 3: we have?
Speaker 2: About five am. I was at the park till four fifteen.
Speaker 4: Totally my other biggest memory, Like, you know, I was
Speaker 4: a heavier girl, but I guess I just had good
Speaker 4: body image in general, because I like I remember opening
Speaker 4: the costume truck and walking in and they were padding
Speaker 4: my double to make her bigger to match me, and I.
Speaker 3: Just lost it.
Speaker 4: Like I was just like I was just heartbroken because
Speaker 4: I didn't see I didn't see a physical difference in us.
Speaker 4: You know, this was like she was probably actually fourteen,
Speaker 4: really good hockey player, like really cool girl, similar looks.
Speaker 3: Like I never looked at her.
Speaker 4: Like, oh no, she's not going to match me, because
Speaker 4: I just didn't have that opinion of myself.
Speaker 3: I guess, Oh, I guess it's a good thing in
Speaker 3: the light thing.
Speaker 2: Sure, but it was shocking.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh god, and it was pretty lumpy
Speaker 4: and weird, like like I felt like I walked in
Speaker 4: on them like stuffing her to look like a Teddy
Speaker 4: bear or something. And I was so upset by it,
Speaker 4: just like I had to excuse myself and call my
Speaker 4: manager and be like, you know, just kind of cry
Speaker 4: it out because it was just kind of messing with
Speaker 4: my self image.
Speaker 5: And I think that goes back again, is like not
Speaker 5: whether it's it's in it or not. There is definitely
Speaker 5: at least a little bit more caution that happens, like
Speaker 5: to if that's the case, to do something to where
Speaker 5: that that you should have never been in a position
Speaker 5: to be able to go in and see that, right.
Speaker 5: And I think I hope that now they are a
Speaker 5: lot more cautious of stuff because especially with young like
Speaker 5: well anyone you know, and had you been fourteen, the difference,
Speaker 5: oh my god, have affected you at fourteen versus in
Speaker 5: your early twenties is significant as well, you know, just your.
Speaker 4: Brain even in my twenties that is like burned and
Speaker 4: like feeling like seeing them stuff stuff in her in
Speaker 4: her hockey outfit, I was like, oh no, I was like, ugh,
Speaker 4: but my you know, my managers and agents were awesome
Speaker 4: and supportive and we're really good and I you know,
Speaker 4: just brushed myself off and went back and I'm glad
Speaker 4: you had such a great team around you.
Speaker 2: That seems like a lot of support, so much support.
Speaker 2: So before I guess one.
Speaker 1: Thing we forgot to ask is before you started, were
Speaker 1: you a Disney fan?
Speaker 2: I know you said like you have a friend who's
Speaker 2: a fanatic.
Speaker 1: Were you into the Disney channel or did you coms
Speaker 1: or no?
Speaker 3: Okay, not really a big Disney person, always a big.
Speaker 4: Like multi cam sitcom person. Really love I just I
Speaker 4: just love me too, me too. Yeah, that's all I ever.
Speaker 3: Want to watch.
Speaker 2: What's your favorite show, favorite show of all time?
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I mean of all time. I mean it's
Speaker 3: all I know. Oh god, of like a multi cam
Speaker 3: I don't even know. I mean there's so many, Like
Speaker 3: there's just like that, you know, there's like classics like
Speaker 3: Facts of Life and all, and then there's like, you know,
Speaker 3: the newer even you know, Friends obviously is a classic
Speaker 3: as far as that goes.
Speaker 4: I think now we have mid Century Modern, which I've
Speaker 4: decided is going to save the multi cam and bring
Speaker 4: it back. I think it's going to do it. I'm
Speaker 4: so psyched about it. It is so fun and like
Speaker 4: they can swear because it's Hulu. I can't even Like
Speaker 4: all my friends have been texting me, have you seen
Speaker 4: the yet?
Speaker 3: Have you seen it yet? I'm like, yes, of course
Speaker 3: I've watched it, but I so hopefully I think it will.
Speaker 3: I think we're going to make a comeback.
Speaker 1: So then you didn't really know, like when what you
Speaker 1: were hopping into with a d com with the Disney machine,
Speaker 1: not at all.
Speaker 4: I had one friend, Billy, who had done the wrestling
Speaker 4: movie maybe two years before or like the same kind.
Speaker 2: Of yes, which is one of our yes.
Speaker 3: Okay, so my friend okay, going to the mat, that's
Speaker 3: that's the way. He actually came and visited me on set.
Speaker 3: We went to sun Dance. It was Sundance when we
Speaker 3: were there filming too, so that was fun. But it
Speaker 3: was really fun for him because it was the same crew.
Speaker 3: I don't think it was the same director, but almost
Speaker 3: the whole same crew.
Speaker 5: It felt like as well, Yeah, it was really it.
Speaker 3: Was really fun for him to come and visit.
Speaker 4: So that was really my own only you know, anything
Speaker 4: I knew about it was just from him and that
Speaker 4: he had had a really fun experience doing it. But
Speaker 4: I definitely wasn't raised on Disney as much. You know,
Speaker 4: we didn't go to the parks or anything because it
Speaker 4: was so expensive, So I wasn't a super fan, So
Speaker 4: it wasn't It didn't make me like nervous or anything,
Speaker 4: you know, like it frankly, totally, yeah, I didn't really
Speaker 4: care that much. I was just like psyched that I
Speaker 4: was going to get to go to a new city
Speaker 4: for three months and you know, just hang out and
Speaker 4: it was great.
Speaker 3: It was really fun. It was a really fun adventure
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 5: So after you got done filming, then, because a lot
Speaker 5: of people, especially like their first time in the Disney
Speaker 5: Channel like air, you know, just kind of the word
Speaker 5: girld of it, they start to like quickly notice after
Speaker 5: where whether it's a TV show or their d coom
Speaker 5: kind of comes out. Did you start getting noticed? I
Speaker 5: mean because d coms were just so big? Yeah, were
Speaker 5: you starting to like get notice from that more than
Speaker 5: other projects that you've been a part of.
Speaker 4: Do you feel a little bit, But that's actually happened
Speaker 4: later in life, Like I'd actually noticed if I see
Speaker 4: someone like a girl like staring at me who's like
Speaker 4: ten years younger, ten to fifteen years younger than me,
Speaker 4: and they're like really trying to feel Like I was
Speaker 4: at a Christmas party with someone and this girl she
Speaker 4: was like I.
Speaker 3: Just can't figure it out. I know, I know you,
Speaker 3: And as I'm walking out the door, I was like, wait,
Speaker 3: how old are you?
Speaker 4: And to whatever her age was, I was like, go
Speaker 4: figure the Disney Channel she's like, yes, that's the blue hair.
Speaker 3: Actually more more as an adult.
Speaker 4: I actually, right when I got back from shooting that movie,
Speaker 4: I booked my first series regular pilot and then they
Speaker 4: picked up the series, so they ended up never airing
Speaker 4: the series, but we shot it all, so I kind
Speaker 4: of this The movie was really exciting, But then that
Speaker 4: was so exciting.
Speaker 2: How many episodes did you do? Six and they never
Speaker 2: air They never aired any of them.
Speaker 3: No, Well, that so sad.
Speaker 4: I don't know that I could ever, like, I don't
Speaker 4: know that a man could break my heart.
Speaker 3: As much as that. But it was awesome. It was
Speaker 3: called Thick and Thin.
Speaker 4: I was thick, but it was a really cool It
Speaker 4: was by Paula Pell, who's one of the best SNL
Speaker 4: writers ever to live. Waur and Michaels produced it and
Speaker 4: I played Jessica Capshaw's sister.
Speaker 3: And how did this not air? I know it was.
Speaker 4: It was the two thousand and sixth season and they
Speaker 4: were just losing Kevin Riley they had just fired off
Speaker 4: of as.
Speaker 3: The head of NBC.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was like this weird time and I
Speaker 4: remember like they actually didn't even I found out by
Speaker 4: having reading the trades delivered to my doorstep that it
Speaker 4: wasn't airing, like no one, no one told me, oh
Speaker 4: why they bought us as they bought thirteen originally and
Speaker 4: then halfway through they cut the order to seven. So
Speaker 4: like it wasn't a great vibe on set, but we
Speaker 4: still thought after like shooting all of those Yeah, and
Speaker 4: it was a great Martin mull played my dad, Sharon
Speaker 4: Glass was my mom. Chris Parnell was in it like
Speaker 4: he was. It was like literally a dream come true.
Speaker 3: And this message was so great because it was like
Speaker 3: Jessica was playing my older sister and had lost all
Speaker 3: this weight and was living this like new thin lifestyle
Speaker 3: and I was just a normal sized girl, completely happy
Speaker 3: with my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The message that was the hard.
Speaker 4: Message, and it was like really special for the fact
Speaker 4: that this was two thousand and five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, way ahead of its time.
Speaker 3: Wait, I think maybe me too ahead of its time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, we had the typical like they changed,
Speaker 4: We had the kind of a different set of showrunners
Speaker 4: come in that kind of change the vibe and I
Speaker 4: think maybe I'm not sure exactly what what happened, but
Speaker 4: it was the best experience of my life. I mean,
Speaker 4: getting to work with Paula Palat just she's so legend.
Speaker 3: It was amazing, and that like a sponge around her.
Speaker 3: You're just like so up.
Speaker 4: And I was basically playing her, she kind of I
Speaker 4: was playing her character.
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, So everyone out there, thick and thin,
Speaker 1: we've got to get this.
Speaker 2: We've got to find way to get this.
Speaker 3: I have all the episode?
Speaker 1: Do you allowed to just upload him?
Speaker 2: Because we want to We want to see that I did.
Speaker 3: I uploaded clips once and the comments on you tube
Speaker 3: are always so usually pretty like rewarding. People are like,
Speaker 3: wait a minute, wow, did this not go on a
Speaker 3: e G.
Speaker 1: Gosh. Well, okay, speaking of cast, we can't not talk
Speaker 1: before I even say the title of the piece. So
Speaker 1: here's the cast that you were working with, Ben Affleck,
Speaker 1: Christina Applegate, James Gandelfini, Catherine O'Hara, Stephen Root, on and
Speaker 1: on and on. So this is a film called Survivor Christmas.
Speaker 1: How do you walk on to that set? What is that?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: It was crazy and strange and it was such a
Speaker 4: weird part, Like I basically they dressed me up like
Speaker 4: a little doll and I was like singing in the
Speaker 4: Christmas pageant. So I didn't have a ton of interaction
Speaker 4: with any of the characters. I had one brief, not
Speaker 4: great interaction with James Gandelfeini. He was not It's not
Speaker 4: very warm or nice to me. I don't know if
Speaker 4: he didn't think I was.
Speaker 3: He may not have.
Speaker 4: Known I was in the movie, but I was dressed
Speaker 4: like a doll and on set, so that's probably getting
Speaker 4: him too much credit.
Speaker 1: Not to disparage it dead, but it also shouldn't matter
Speaker 1: whether you're in the movie.
Speaker 4: Treat somebody was very nice and I wasn't even I
Speaker 4: was just like, hey, how you doing? And he was
Speaker 4: pretty grumpy, but probably he was just having the worst
Speaker 4: day he was having all it.
Speaker 2: Was a higher mob family. It was exhausted.
Speaker 3: I have to lead a mob family and now being
Speaker 3: this weird.
Speaker 1: And deal with my regular family and breathe as heavily
Speaker 1: as I do.
Speaker 2: It's very The's a lot going on with James Gandelphine.
Speaker 4: That movie is so funny though, because you know I
Speaker 4: had I guess the whole I think I had some
Speaker 4: lines that ended up getting cut in the final edit.
Speaker 3: So like, you see me pretty well on screen, but
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 4: The credits roll, it's it's as if I was a lad,
Speaker 4: like I'm pretty high up, and I've probably made more
Speaker 4: money on that than almost anything I've ever done.
Speaker 2: Like that, Wow, it's awesome.
Speaker 3: Basically being a glorified extra.
Speaker 4: In her shoes too, in her shoes, I played young
Speaker 4: Tony Collette and that they did that scene did get cut,
Speaker 4: but it was cool.
Speaker 1: I still get to film it with her, which You've
Speaker 1: worked with some pretty incredible people.
Speaker 3: Was she was? She just so nice, so nice.
Speaker 4: But that was an icky entertainment industry story too. They
Speaker 4: tried to not pay me.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 4: I was there doing a costume fitting and they were like,
Speaker 4: I had to wear braces, so like they had to
Speaker 4: send me to like the dentist of the stars to
Speaker 4: get fake braces made.
Speaker 3: So they had had the braces made. I brought them
Speaker 3: to the costume fitting.
Speaker 4: We were doing the fitting and they're like, we're just
Speaker 4: gonna take some quick photos while you're here, and I
Speaker 4: was like, okay, like photos for the movie, like like
Speaker 4: as in, this should be a day of work, and
Speaker 4: they're like, you know, not just some photos.
Speaker 3: I was like, let me make a phone call. I
Speaker 3: think people. I don't know if people didn't realize that
Speaker 3: I was of age or something because I looked younger,
Speaker 3: because I feel like they were always trying to kind
Speaker 3: of get get ye pull over on you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I called my agent. I'm like, I think
Speaker 4: they're trying to not pay me for a day of work.
Speaker 4: And that was exactly what they did do. So then
Speaker 4: the Asian was like absolutely not. So then they were like okay,
Speaker 4: and then brought in a contract. I had to fill
Speaker 4: it out and then I got paid for the day
Speaker 4: of work.
Speaker 3: But so what ended up.
Speaker 4: Being in the film is just basically this picture of
Speaker 4: me with my braces. I'm like, it's the like least
Speaker 4: the laddering picture of anybody ever.
Speaker 3: And that's and the scene ended up getting cut from
Speaker 3: the movie.
Speaker 2: So the only one that's it. That's it. You see
Speaker 2: the image.
Speaker 3: You just see the image of young Tony Collette, you know,
Speaker 3: her character me like with my giant braces. Yeah, funny like,
Speaker 3: and that's what they were not going to pay me for.
Speaker 3: It was the one thing that made it in the movie. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I'm just lucky that I had the like street
Speaker 4: smart and wherewith all to be like, no, this is you.
Speaker 1: You from walking off the set on the sitcom and
Speaker 1: calling your agents to this. You had more poise and
Speaker 1: self awareness for a young actor than I think I've
Speaker 1: ever talked to anybody, because I don't think I've ever
Speaker 1: done that where I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, I got to call somebody, I got to do somebody.
Speaker 1: And to have that at that young of age really impressive.
Speaker 3: It's very East Coast like working class. You know.
Speaker 4: My parents are hard workers and strong willed and you know, smart,
Speaker 4: and I think I just was good at like sensing like,
Speaker 4: oh this is off, like something wrong here. So yeah,
Speaker 4: that was definitely yeah, that was That was bad, but
Speaker 4: it ended up working out because then I got that
Speaker 4: second day of work and then I've made like so
Speaker 4: much money off that in her Shoes movie where it's
Speaker 4: only a photo, you know, great, like a crazy amount
Speaker 4: of money from this one two.
Speaker 3: Days of work.
Speaker 2: That's what is that?
Speaker 5: What Cameron Diaz too?
Speaker 3: It is Yes, if Cameron and you'll see I have
Speaker 3: all I have a still of it that I like
Speaker 3: had printed at one point because it's just so funny.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 5: So you had a scene with her and it was
Speaker 5: was it like her reminiscing about like a flashback.
Speaker 4: It was a flash The scene was a flashback. So
Speaker 4: was me and young Cameron Diaz, okay, and it was
Speaker 4: like very dark. I was like in the it was
Speaker 4: like nighttime scene. I remember we were in bed and
Speaker 4: it was shot like pretty quick, and that's what ended
Speaker 4: up getting caught.
Speaker 2: I got.
Speaker 3: It was really good.
Speaker 1: Before we let you go, we have to talk about
Speaker 1: one of your passions, okay, and I want to just
Speaker 1: show you. This is my girl Sammy right there, and
Speaker 1: so we know that one of your passions is dogs, yes,
Speaker 1: and can can you tell us a little bit about
Speaker 1: your work and what you're doing and all that good
Speaker 1: kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was really lucky.
Speaker 4: Like as soon as my acting career kind of started
Speaker 4: to slow down.
Speaker 3: I actually after the.
Speaker 4: Thick and Thin thing where when canceled that and I
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, maybe this isn't possible for me to
Speaker 4: be a normal sized woman on TV. And then I
Speaker 4: getting sent out on all these icky auditions and psyche
Speaker 4: gag stuff, and I was like, I'm gonna I need
Speaker 4: to lose some weight. I hate this life for me,
Speaker 4: So I kind of screwed myself by losing fifty pounds.
Speaker 4: So as soon as I got thinned and they were
Speaker 4: like now you're not fat enough and you're not fin enough.
Speaker 3: You're kind of useless, and was dropped by all of
Speaker 3: my agents.
Speaker 2: So you're kidding. Your agency dropped you after you lost weight.
Speaker 3: Not my original agents.
Speaker 4: The second because after that big TV show, like when
Speaker 4: we thought it was gonna air, they were like, we
Speaker 4: need to move you to bigger agency, which made sense,
Speaker 4: and then they eventually were like, yeah, you just don't
Speaker 4: fit the mold, you know. So that happened in like
Speaker 4: O seven and and so I was like, okay, I
Speaker 4: had been lucky ever since moving here at nineteen, I
Speaker 4: never really had to have any I had to have
Speaker 4: like some survival jobs, but just like the little things
Speaker 4: here and there. But once everything kind of dried up
Speaker 4: when I made that choice, started working part time walking dogs,
Speaker 4: and you know, I grew up with we always had
Speaker 4: a boxer dog growing up, or like a big dog family,
Speaker 4: and yeah, I got started in that and eventually kind
Speaker 4: of peeled off with my friend Doug, who's being kind
Speaker 4: enough to let us use his.
Speaker 2: Podcast podcast, Dog Podcast, Dog.
Speaker 3: Dog, so and we started our own dog walking business
Speaker 3: and in twenty ten and then we kind of peeled
Speaker 3: off because we live kind of far away to cover
Speaker 3: two different neighborhoods a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: So we each have our own business now. But yeah, I've
Speaker 4: just been it's just been I'm so grateful for it.
Speaker 4: Like I have the best clients, like the loveliest They're
Speaker 4: just awesome. And it took a long time to build
Speaker 4: the business, you know, but now I feel like I'm
Speaker 4: at a point where I just everyone who I work
Speaker 4: with like I consider them like family too, you know,
Speaker 4: like they're just like friend and it's it's it's really
Speaker 4: great business to have and I get to work for myself. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I have a lot of free time to do
Speaker 4: creative things as well. And then about eight years ago,
Speaker 4: I started getting into fostering dogs through a Purposeful Rescue,
Speaker 4: which is one of the best rescues in the in
Speaker 4: the city by far, shout out to them, and so
Speaker 4: so yeah, so it's been my I live with my
Speaker 4: best friend Natasha, and we've been fostering dogs for about
Speaker 4: eight years. I think we've were on our like twenty
Speaker 4: ninth dog successful placements.
Speaker 1: So that's my wife and I have talked about it
Speaker 1: and we just think we would just end up with
Speaker 1: fifty dogs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I don't know how you like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I couldn't give away.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you're really excited for them, I would say almost always,
Speaker 4: because like you know, not every dog is right for
Speaker 4: your lifestyle, sure, you know, and and it's it's very hard,
Speaker 4: you know, like because also I have the dog business,
Speaker 4: so sometimes I have like twelve dogs at the house,
Speaker 4: you know, like we bore dogs at the house. So
Speaker 4: I have a dog, my roommate has a dog. We
Speaker 4: always have one foster dog, and then whoever's sleeping over
Speaker 4: the business. So we're just like surrounded by it. But
Speaker 4: but the fostering has been super rewarding and I've met
Speaker 4: some really incredible people and I just, oh, I would
Speaker 4: love I wish I could have more people to do it,
Speaker 4: and I know not everyone's cut out for it. But
Speaker 4: we're like in a serious crisis in LA right now.
Speaker 1: Like we've talked about it. My wife and I like
Speaker 1: it because our we don't want another dog.
Speaker 3: Fires well there's a bunch of things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything just people buying dogs is really the problem.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we don't want another dog, but we think
Speaker 1: our dog wants another dog.
Speaker 4: Which which you would be surprised they may not, but
Speaker 4: that's why fostering is a good Yeah.
Speaker 3: She loves try it out.
Speaker 2: She loves other dogs, so we we we Yeah, we're
Speaker 2: what's your name of the foster do you work with?
Speaker 4: Again, A purposeful rescue is great, and I stand with
Speaker 4: my pack is great. There's a lot of really, really
Speaker 4: great rescues here is there are a handful of really
Speaker 4: shady ones too, So you want to do research because
Speaker 4: there's a lot of we.
Speaker 1: Worked with Pause for Life who were great and yep.
Speaker 1: So Sammy was actually in the prison system for eight weeks.
Speaker 1: She was trained by the prisoners. Oh cool, and just
Speaker 1: came out.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean she's Yeah, we love her to death.
Speaker 4: So I would recommend the like, foster a dog that's
Speaker 4: like not your type, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 4: if you're not a big dog person, foster a big dog,
Speaker 4: because then.
Speaker 3: You will be less likely to keep.
Speaker 2: The dog, you know how That makes sense?
Speaker 4: But I also one how I trick myself And we've
Speaker 4: had like twenty eight twenty nine dogs. We've each had
Speaker 4: one foster fail, so I think that's pretty good odds.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I would say, man, but I try to
Speaker 4: always say, like every time I adopt out a dog,
Speaker 4: it means I have space to save another dog, so that,
Speaker 4: you know, like when people are like I just feel bad,
Speaker 4: I'm like I'm giving them up and I'm like, but no,
Speaker 4: now you can save another dogs. So you just kind
Speaker 4: of have to do some like mental work with it.
Speaker 4: But or if you really want to make sure you
Speaker 4: don't want to keep the dog, do a puppy, because
Speaker 4: you'll want that puppy out of your house.
Speaker 2: Puppies are so hard, it's like babies.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: I had a set of puppies last year that broke me.
Speaker 4: Like I was like, oh, I might have to check
Speaker 4: myself into and now we have a really hard line
Speaker 4: of no puppies, no puppies.
Speaker 3: I'm not a puppies anymore. Oh wow.
Speaker 5: But your company for your dog, what you're saying was
Speaker 5: is dogs dig Us.
Speaker 3: That's yours. Yeah, that's my just oh yeah, dog walking company.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yeah, dogs dig Us. And that's in La.
Speaker 3: That's just yeah Bright in LA. And I'm pretty specific.
Speaker 4: I basically just cover Hancock Park and up to Bronson Canyon,
Speaker 4: kind of like three mile radius.
Speaker 1: If you're listening and you're in that that area hit
Speaker 1: So final question before you go, Yeah, it's been twenty
Speaker 1: years now since since Go Figure came out. Any chance

Speaker 5: in the tournament against.
Speaker 2: Each other, right, Well, you keep in touch with anybody?

Speaker 5: to get to know each other as adults now. And
