Speaker 1: I was, and that's kind of how you got this gig,

19
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: is that you were well known in amongst your workers

20
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: as having a marvelous sense of humor, and they thought

21
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: they thought that you would do well on this show,

22
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: So tell us about all of that, and then how

23
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: you got the audition or did they just give you

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: the part?

25
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: Okay, well, yes, I did start working as a production

26
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: accountant at Telepritures Productions and Jim Perritore was the president

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: at the time, and he told me that when I

28
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: started there, all of a sudden, it was lot noisier

29
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: on the floor since I started. So this was like

30
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: my first month working there, and he came over to

31
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: my desk one day and he said to me that

32
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 3: he thought I should be on the other side of

33
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: the camera and I told him, I don't think so,

34
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: I'm an accountant. And he said, well, I think you

35
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: should be doing something, he said, because I think you're

36
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: too big for this cubicle. And I said, okay, all right,

37
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: Well have your people call my people. And I didn't

38
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: really know what that meant at the time, but it

39
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: was kind of funny. It's funny now, and so he

40
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: did have his people call my people and they asked

41
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: me to say some lines in this promo. And you know,

42
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: at the time, the culture over there was it was

43
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: very fun and free and we could just have a

44
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: good time, and so I just thought we were playing

45
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: around and I did it, and then a couple of

46
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: weeks passed and people started calling me telling me they

47
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: saw me on TV in New York and I was like, no,

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: I'm not on TV. You know, I'm shooting Burbank. They

49
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: shoot in Chicago, and so it turns out it was me,

50
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: and it was announced in a staff meeting, and so

51
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: I was like, oh wow, this is crazy. So I

52
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: kind of thought, well, if this guy says that I

53
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: should be doing something like this, then maybe I should

54
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: take some classes. So I started training, and seven years

55
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 3: later I left the company and I was a working

56
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: actor and so I got this audition by attending a

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: workshop and it was mar Casey and she had met

58
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: me on a Saturday and she bought me in on

59
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: a Tuesday for this role. And this would have been

60
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: my very first guest star role audition. And I go

61
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: in and she was like, oh my god, that's so great.

62
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: I was totally against type for this role. They weren't

63
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: looking for a black female, and in fact, the role

64
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: said that she was scrawny and she cowered from from

65
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: missus Gilmore. And I was like, okay, well, I can't

66
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: play it like that because nobody's gonna believe. I'm afraid

67
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: of missus Gilmore. She's so tiny and so and you

68
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: know me, that's kind of not going to work. So

69
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: I just did it my way. And so then she said,

70
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: oh that was great. Why don't you when you come

71
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: into the producer session do this? And I said, oh,

72
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: do you want to see it now? She's like sure.

73
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: So I did it. She's like perfect, see you Thursday.

74
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: I said, great, I come in Thursday. All the women

00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: it intimidating the film film those scenes with Kelly Bishop

132
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: because you didn't seem like you were intimidated.

133
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: No, I wasn't at all. She was so sweet. She

134
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: was just the nicest lady ever. And they told me

135
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: they wanted me to be, you know, pretty snappy and

136
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: uh and so I was like, okay, cool. And it

137
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: was great because after after a couple of takes, Hilly

138
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: Bishop got excited because she was like nobody ever comes

139
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: back at me, you know. And then there was one

140
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: time she was like, I love Teresa Gary, I love this,

141
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: I love Princeton, I love this, you know, because you know,

142
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: usually she scares everybody away, and she was so excited

143
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: that somebody was actually coming back at her. So that

144
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: was pretty fun. We had a great time. We had

145
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: a great time.

146
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: And you you worked with ed Herman as well, So

147
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: what was that like. I mean, he was great. He

148
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: got agitated at you, you know.

149
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, well he did, and you know, it's funny because

150
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: he didn't really like the way he was talking to me,

151
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: and they actually stopped taping and rewrote until it was

152
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: to his liking, and so I thought that was very

153
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: nice of him to, you know, to support me in

154
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 3: that way. So I thought that was really cool. And

155
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: I actually ended up working with him again on another

156
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: show called Better with You a while after that. So yeah,

157
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: he was a he was a really really sweet guy.

158
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: He was really sweet.

159
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: And did either one of them offer any advice or

160
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: you really didn't seem to need any.

161
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 3: No, no real advice. They were just you know, very

162
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: grateful that I was there and thank me for playing

163
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 3: with them. That was pretty much it.

164
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: So it's season seven of the series. This is when

165
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: you appear. How was it being a guest actor for

166
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: a show that is already well established compared to a

167
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: show that isn't.

168
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: I think, you know, it's it's a very well old machine.

169
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: So everything runs very smoothly, and so you know, that

170
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 3: was you know what I noticed the most. Everybody knew

171
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: what they were doing, and it was it was just easy.

172
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: It was easy, peasy, you're in, you're out, you know.

173
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: So I had no shoes whatsoever.

174
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: You're so right, you're so new. Shows sometimes take years,

175
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years to really get their groove.

176
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did.

177
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: The first couple of years are just difficult, you know,

178
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: it's difficult to work on shows like that. Yeah organized.

179
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it was very easy for them, and they

180
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 3: were you know, of course they knew they were they

181
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: were on their way out. So everybody was really relaxed

182
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: and else is doing it.

183
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know when it's gonna be over, Yeah, the

184
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: pressures off.

185
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

186
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: When was the last time you watched.

187
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: Your episode of Gilmore Girls?

188
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one you were in. Yeah, have you seen

189
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: it lately?

190
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: It's been a long time now.

191
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you like watching yourself or no, I do.

192
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: I don't mind watching myself. I like to see how

193
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: I fit in, and I'm usually pretty happy with it.

194
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: There's only been one show that I think I wasn't

195
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: happy with the way it fit in.

196
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm hmm.

197
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: It wasn't a Warner Brothers Showy.

198
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: So, You've had roles in Apple TV Plus's Physical with

199
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: Rose Rose byrn Rose Byrne and the Amazon series of

200
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: League of Their Own was What was your experience working

201
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: on those shows?

202
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Well, A League of Their Own was

203
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: probably one of the best times I've had, and I

204
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 3: think that's mostly because we we all we shot in

205
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and so we all stayed in a hotel together,

206
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: all the casts, and we just got to know each

207
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 3: other so well, you know, we we ate together. We

208
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 3: did everything together. We went to museums and to the movies,

209
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: and you know, we did everything together. And so it

210
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: was the first time I've ever really been able to

211
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: spend that much time with the cast, and we really

212
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: jailed a lot, and a lot of us are very

213
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: close friends. We have lunch here now, so so that

214
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: was a really great time. And then Physical was awesome

215
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: too because that was the second time I was getting

216
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: being able to work with Rose Byrne. I worked with

217
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: her also on the show with her and Seth Rogan.

218
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: I'm sorry the name is escaping me. Don't tell, but

219
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 3: it was my second time and the first time I

220
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 3: actually didn't get to necessarily work with her. I got

221
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: to speak with her because it was a telephone conversation,

222
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: but she came over to me and she thanked me

223
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 3: for being there and you know, and all that good stuff.

224
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 3: And then when I got on the set of Physical.

225
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 4: She.

226
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: I reminded her of who I was, and she was like,

227
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 3: oh my god, I totally remember you, you know, and

228
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 3: she was like it came out really good by the way.

229
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: I was like, oh cool, I'm excited about that. And

230
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: so on the set of Physical we were just like

231
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: two buddies, and I was so glad there were so

232
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: many two shots of us, like we really got on

233
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: well and it was a great time. Very grateful for

234
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 3: that one.

235
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: Let me ask you how you feel Hollywood is representing

236
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: black actors and actresses and writers and directors. Do you

237
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: feel like the representation is still lacking or are you

238
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: happy to see the progress that has being made and

239
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: if not, what would you like to see?

240
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: Well, I think both of those are true. There has

241
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: been some progress, and I am happy to see that,

242
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: but there's always room for more. And I think the

243
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: reason I say that is because there are still things

244
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: behind the scenes that happened that we will never know about,

245
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 3: and you know, I get to hear about them from

246
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 3: sometimes people in the room tell you things because now

247
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: you're close to people and who are able to be

248
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: in these rooms, and you know they share information sometimes,

249
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 3: and so you do know that these things still they

250
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 3: still do exist. There are still problems, but you know

251
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: they're moving in a certain way, and you know, hey,

252
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: we don't have a whole lot of control other than

253
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: to keep doing what we do, you know, keep writing,

254
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: keep acting, keep training, keep studying, keep being the best

255
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: that you can be. And you know, eventually, maybe our

256
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: lives will be more representative of you know, of our

257
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: daily lives, because like you know, my friends have my

258
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: white friends have lots of black friends, you know, and

259
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: I have lots of white friends. So it's you know,

260
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: my life is very much more colorful, and I think

261
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: that a lot of other people's lives are too, And

262
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: I think that should be represented more.

263
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: So you teach acting as well or have taught acting?

264
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually coach actors.

265
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: Oh you coach, So you're coach for auditions and things

266
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: like that.

267
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, coach, And I created a I created my own

268
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: audition to technique called eight Steps to Working Actor, and

269
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: so I teach people with that and they tend to

270
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 3: take off. Really yeah, pretty exciting, that's you know.

271
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: I used to coach actors as well before I got GIL.

272
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: More of I was you know, I started out probably

273
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: the same way you did it, just helping friends out,

274
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: and they said, you know, you should charge for this

275
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: because I'm getting callbacks, and I'm like, yeah, So I

276
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: started a whole thing, and I was teaching three classes

277
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: a week and I had private students all day. And

278
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, I undercut the market by not charging much

279
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: because you know, people that people that are trying to

280
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: get acting work don't have a lot of money, you know.

281
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 3: So that's true at.

282
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: The time, you know, twenty five years ago, twenty six

283
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: years ago, when I was doing it, people at that

284
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: time were charging one hundred and fifty bucks or two

285
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: hundred bucks, yeah, for fifty minutes. And I was like, man, yeah,

286
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't pay that at that time.

287
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, I feel you. I feel you. I

288
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: was lucky when I was, when I was being coached

289
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: myself because I was in accountant I made a lot

290
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: of money. Yeah, I was able to train with the

291
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: best and just do everything I needed to do. And

292
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: that was a huge blessing. That was a huge blessing,

293
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: And I think that's why I kind of took off

294
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: very quickly. I mean because I know people who started

295
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: when I did, or even they were in it before

296
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 3: I was, and they still don't have the amount of

297
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: credits that I had. Not to brag or anything.

298
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: What's your secret? What's your secret when you walk into

299
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: the room, what is your secret? Because you know that

300
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: auditioning has a little bit to do with acting and

301
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: everything to do with psychology, So what do you do?

302
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: Well, I don't have a secret necessarily. The truth of

303
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: the matter is is I'm just there to do my job.

304
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 3: You know, I'm just there to do my job. I've

305
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 3: done the work and I just come in and do

306
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 3: that and then have somewhere to go afterwards. That's it.

307
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: You. So you show them, you show producers in the

308
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: room that you know what your job is because every

309
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: character has a job to do, and that's the problem

310
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: with a lot of people that sort of overdo their

311
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: auditions in a large role or small role. It tells

312
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: the producers that they don't know what their job is,

313
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: and we're going to have to direct direct them into

314
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: knowing what their job is. So that's half the battle,

315
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: isn't it.

316
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, because they don't necessarily have the time to

317
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: do that on set. You know. They got bigger fish

318
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: to fry on set, you know, and so they need

319
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 3: people there who know what they're doing already. And I

320
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 3: think if they can feel that confidence in you, then

321
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: you're probably more likely to get hired.

322
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: Right. Interesting. How do people access your eight steps? Is

323
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: it online?

324
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I actually teach it in person, one on one.

325
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: It is up on my website Ttersagary dot com. It's

326
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: on the acting page, and uh, you know, just reach

327
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: out to me. That's it. It's very simple. And then

328
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 3: I actually go to my clients. So I like for

329
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 3: them to feel special, so I come to them.

330
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: You might be hearing from me. I might need to

331
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: brush up on some of my techniques.

332
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 3: Not a problem at all.

333
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: All right, We're going to play a little game called

334
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: rapid fire. Okay, this does not mean you have to

335
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: answer quickly. Okay, and it'll test a little bit your

336
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: knowledge of ki More Girls. But here we go.

337
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I'm gonna lose. I'm gonna lose.

338
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: No, no, the first question. If you get by the

339
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: first question, you're okay. And this is a tough question,

340
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,840
