I think 109 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 4: there wasn't time. There was no time. But something about 110 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 4: watching you two together is your chemistry is incredible, right, 111 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 4: Your scenes together are so special. There really feels like 112 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 4: there's a deep bond in connection. Obviously you're both incredible 113 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 4: actors and so that helps, but it also feels like 114 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 4: there's that thing that you can't plan for, which is 115 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 4: just this real magic friendship and magic.

A second of all, 118 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: this is what I think it may have been, and 119 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 3: what may have helped us a lot, is that Melissa 120 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: was just she came from New York. She didn't have 121 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 3: a ton of experience. I didn't have a weird boat 122 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 3: roughly the same experience. Why she had done like a 123 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: national commercial and a couple more things. But so we 124 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 3: were both like she was coming really into the experience 125 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: because I was. It was so neat to come and 126 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: watch her star rising every time I came to said, 127 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: it was like they were getting more and more famous, 128 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, totally, you guys were already established. 129 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: The new cast was. I was watching them experience it, 130 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: which was really cool. But I think, you know, I'm 131 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 3: from the East Coast, and again we both just kind of, uh, 132 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,559 Speaker 3: we're just the new, you know, new people and coming 133 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: from the East. I don't know, just something about that, 134 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: maybe both being kind of green and but it was 135 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 3: definitely we felt definitely comfortable together. 136 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: And Glee was I mean, you know, we were almost 137 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 2: like we had peaked by the point that you guys, 138 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: you know, we were at its peak when you joined 139 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 2: so as a special ed teacher. I mean you said, 140 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: you know, some of the people didn't love that you 141 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 2: were also working as an actor, but not only that 142 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: that you were on the probably the hottest show on 143 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 2: TV at the time. What was your experience. It's like 144 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: out in the world, do people start to recognize you? 145 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 2: Do people at school recognize you? 146 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: What was it while I was on the show? I 147 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 3: did get recognized quite a bit. One of my favorites 148 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: was I was actually teaching. I had my kids at 149 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 3: Pershing Square ice skating, and a whole group of girls 150 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: from like a Catholic school or something. We're there, and 151 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 3: they lined up to get me hugs and autographs. So 152 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 3: that was like er special to me. You know, a 153 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: couple of times where people were I could feel people 154 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: were taking pictures of me when I was out, like 155 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: I would do something, feel a flash, you know, or hurt. Yeah. 156 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: So it was fun for me. It was the perfect 157 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: amount of a little taste of fame and not have 158 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: to really be inconvenienced by it. Sure, you know, I 159 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 3: have it be fun but not stressful. Yeah, so I 160 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: appreciate it was fun. 161 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: That's fair. That's fair. 162 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: It's died out. I mean since then, I hardly get recognized. 163 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 3: Once in a while, I get recognized, you know, from 164 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 3: something else too, but but usually still most often from Glee, 165 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: but only once in a while. Yeah. 166 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: So you didn't get to sing on the show, sadly? 167 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: Are you a singer? 168 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 3: I'm not a singer, but I could have sang. 169 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: So you could have sang. So did you have a 170 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: song in mind that you would I would have wanted 171 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: to sing. 172 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 3: You know, I never put that much thought into it, 173 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 3: but I really did want to. 174 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: Sing you a song? Yeah, you and Melissa should have 175 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: done one. I know that would have been so sweet. 176 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: I had just hoped. I was like, why don't they 177 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: ask you? Why haven't they asked me? If I can sing? 178 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 3: Like I can carry a tune?

They can make it definitely, definitely, But I would. 182 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 3: Have loved for it to be something heart felt towards Marley, 183 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: just because the fans would have loved that. 184 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. What I found and what I do find 185 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: fascinating is like, like you said, you're both coming into 186 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: this fairly green and together, and you had these scene 187 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: where you're by yourselves a lot, which I also think 188 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: is added pressure. I do feel like when you're in 189 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: a group, you know, we were often in ensemble scenes 190 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: where you can sort of depend on the other people. 191 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: You guys were really leading these scenes, and then you're 192 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: also dealing with heavy subject matter almost every time you 193 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: were talking, and everything was on the show where a 194 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: lot of things are heightened and there's a lot of 195 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: craziness and silliness and snark you two always brought it 196 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: back to something like really grounded and meaningful, and I 197 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: just wondered, like, how did it feel, maybe like tonally 198 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: working on the show, because you were coming in and 199 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: doing these like sort of heavier scenes every time, and 200 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: like how was that getting into that well? 201 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 3: As an actor? For me? I found this to be 202 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: the most wonderful challenge. I mean, especially Shooter was shooting star. 203 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 3: Shooting star that was a shooting star. Yes, I had 204 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: to have the camera up in my face like this, 205 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 3: in like towering in a corner of the kitchen, and 206 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 3: I had never had to work with the camera like 207 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: up in my face so tight like that. And when 208 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 3: I left that day, and when I left lots of days, 209 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: but that day in particular, I remembered so much why 210 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 3: I love acting. I was so high on the way home, 211 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 3: like the best high I ever had. And I'm like, 212 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: you can be on a big show. Who knows what 213 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 3: stars I met or worked with that day, But what 214 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: I know, what I remember is the high from acting 215 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 3: and having that challenge of that camera be in my face. 216 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 3: I was floating on air like that. I never realized 217 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 3: when I got into television film because I really thought 218 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 3: I'd missed the live audience and wouldn't like it as 219 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 3: much as theater, but I did. It's just different challenges. 220 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 3: They still give me such a high. Yeah, so it 221 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 3: was really Yeah, I loved I loved that we had 222 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 3: those quiet moments, those real moments, and it really connected 223 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 3: with the audience too, for sure. 224 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Jenny, you must have felt that too, because, like 225 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: you both come from the theater world, where those intimate 226 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: scenes must be feel so counterintuitive to theater training because 227 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: you are you can be so quiet and still in 228 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: the cameras, catching every everything. 229 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a nice challenge because I love playing to 230 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: a big audience. I love the instant gratification you get of, 231 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: you know, having a live audience. But there's a nice challenge. 232 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 2: And there's also something about the intimacy of those smaller 233 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 2: scenes that feels the act so theatrical. They feel theatrical 234 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 2: in a lot of ways that these kind of group 235 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 2: scenes don't feel.

It's a gigantic crew, 348 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: a gigantic set, and then you're able to perform your 349 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: ass off because actors were all in our heads. We're 350 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 1: all insecure and questioning everything all the time, and so 351 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, when the call action, 352 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: it's just you and Melissa on screen. Everybody's quiet and 353 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: there's hundreds of people on set like waiting for you 354 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: to do your thing, Like, uh, right, that's why I'm here. 355 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: You forget, I think it's easy to forget. And any 356 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 1: experience I had pre Glee, people were so kind to 357 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: me and went out of their way to be kind 358 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: to me on the Office and on True Wood, and 359 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: I was always sort of in awe and I tried 360 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: to do my best. It wasn't perfect about it, but 361 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: just the I feel like when you show up on 362 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: a set like that, the odds are stacked against you 363 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: in a number of ways. And to make anybody feel 364 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: at least seen or heard. And I think I always 365 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: felt like if somebody doesn't know who to go to, 366 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: like let them come to me, and then I'll get 367 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: them to who they need to go to, because I 368 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: understand how crazy this is. 369 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: Luckily, I think everybody was like that because I know 370 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 3: I have some people like and they just were so 371 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 3: nice and helped me out, even though it's nothing that 372 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 3: they should have been dealing with. 373 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: No, everybody was.
