All right, everybody, 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:26.520 we're here with Billy Burke, uh, who is so far 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:35.919 my favorite uh guy for lorli um. And I don't 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:40.520 know how you can possibly say that, but thanks, because 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.480 I think you're You're just You're just a very cool cat. 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.960 You know, You're a mellow kind of kind of cool guy, 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:51.240 and you seem very confident and comfortable in your own skin. 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.600 And I just it's just a nice balance between the 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:58.640 two of you, and I enjoy watching it. Thank you, 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.920 and I think you're a terrific act. During you you 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.560 really underplay everything and just but everything is h you know, 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.280 it was louder because of it, So it's it's it's 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.000 it's a great relief actually because I U, I take 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:18.440 exception with most of her um potential love interests, but 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.440 not here. I I like, I like how this feels, 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.280 and I like you just dropped her off and gave 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.160 her a kiss and she was hungry. You did your 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:29.600 weekend in New York City, and uh, I like probably 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.240 because that probably has mostly to do with the fact 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.040 that I had zero idea what I was walking into 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:42.120 and I came on the show, I know, right, Yeah, 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.679 it was. I mean, I as far as I recollect 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:51.440 I you know, Lauren and I had done um, this 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.080 little independent movie together a couple of years prior called 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.880 deal Scallion, and it was a fake documentary about a 0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.880 country singer, and so I played this country singer and 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.040 go on the road and I meet her and she 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:07.200 becomes my girlfriend and um, and so within that process, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.200 I mean, we had the greatest time making that movie. 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.640 But Laura and I just became really good friends during that. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.520 So I had always assumed that it was a couple 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.800 of years later that when we got the call to 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.040 come and do Gilmore Girls. I had just assumed that 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.720 maybe she had made a request or something like that. 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.600 But I don't know if that's the case or not. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.760 It never got discussed between here Kerr and I or 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.200 anybody else. So it could have been could have been 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:32.840 just an accident, It could have been could have been 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:38.720 against her will for all I know. Yeah, I think 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.000 she was so busy they didn't consult her on much, 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.480 but she probably gave them a list, you know, I know, 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.640 people she did want to work with and people she 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.680 didn't want to work with and you know, absolute nos 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:59.440 and um. Yeah, So so tell us about you know, 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.720 how you got the job. Was it just a straight offer? 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.400 Did you audition first day on the set, that kind 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:09.480 of thing? Reunited It came in as an offer they 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:13.920 I think it probably was one of those situations where 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.280 they asked if you want to come do one episode 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.160 with the potential for for more. But uh, I think 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.760 it was always supposed to be a one to three 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:28.600 episode arc. I believe I ended up doing three. Um. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.000 But yeah, like I said, it just kind of came in. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.920 So my assumption was, oh, you know, my friend Lauren 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.920 probably just trying to see if I want to come 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.680 and do some of the show, and I'd be more 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:46.720 than happy to obviously, so I said yes immediately, right right, 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:51.200 Um again, not having any idea have I mean, had 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:55.920 not seen it prior to that, had not experienced the 0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:00.400 tone and tempo and um all that up, which is 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:05.840 very specific to that shown, very specific to to a 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:10.760 lot of I think what Amy Paladino does. Yeah. Yeah, 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.920 that's why That's why I particularly like what you did 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:19.200 with that character, because you didn't allow yourself to get 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.560 caught up in their rhythm and their speed. You had 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:26.200 your own yet it was so smooth and it didn't 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.360 throw anybody off. It just kept feeding and feeding it, 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.360 feeding it because you know, they're going a mile a minute, um, 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.280 but you provided this real i don't know, not an 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.480 escape from it, but it relaxed the scenes and they 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.000 just seemed more real as a result, so, you know, 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.760 as as an actor and that and that was my 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.159 challenge too, because Luke was a whole different you know, 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:54.520 he was a whole different vibe. But sometimes you couldn't 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.120 help but get caught in, caught up in the speed 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.280 what was going on, and it was you. You were 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.440 you were the cool, relaxed guy on the show. If 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.640 I recall, oh no, no, no, no no. Well sometimes 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.960 and then you came along and it was like, okay, 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:12.479 that's what it's supposed to be. No, that's really that's 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.600 exactly what I was trying to achieve is what you achieved. 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.039 And I was like, that's how I saw Luke. But 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.640 they kept whipping me to go faster, so I guess 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.880 I go faster. Yeah, I'm always I mean, I'm you know, 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:31.720 I'm I'm confined to what's on the page in terms 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:37.240 of in terms of bourbage and uh sentiment and dynamic 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.240 and all that kind of stuff. Um, but I just 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.479 I probably just didn't know what else to do but 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:49.880 settle into into how I saw it. You know, if 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.840 I were going to reach beyond that and try to 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:57.640 attain there, um, you know, their tempo, it would have 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:05.840 been a disaster. Yeah. And that's and when I and 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.679 when it happened to me. And I'm now I'm saying 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.120 because I never saw it before, I cringe. God, I 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:15.679 cringe uh at being at being duped into their tempo. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:21.360 And it's like, okay, yeah, damn it. Um, but that's 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.520 I guess all those people were so good at it, 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:28.920 right right. I mean you know I include you on 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.480 this too. I mean you you were on the show 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:34.279 for a long time. I mean that's whatever whatever everybody 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:39.720 was doing was was obviously working. Hey man, Hey, I 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.680 had to learn to go that fast. I didn't like it. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.080 I struggled with it. I never felt comfortable going that fast. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.360 They were great at it. I mean, Lauren, it's just 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.679 like you know, she's that that's just another brain, that's 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.880 another level there. She's always had it since I since 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.360 right knowing her. I mean, she's just she's a rocket ship. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:08.080 She just she's yeah, yeah, it's it's why she can 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.640 do those uh And where I think she really is 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:16.120 best with with her comedy is in those moments where 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.880 she's got a stumble and fumble and and she does 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:24.239 it so she does it so quickly and with while 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.800 also delaying things, and I it's amazing how she can 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.400 do it. She did it in this episode in the 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.840 scene with with the band in her kitchen and she 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:34.840 kind of let the cat out of the bag about 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:39.320 how uh Lane and Dave were dating, and she tried 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:43.680 to take it back, and I really laughed out loud. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.640 I mean, she's very, very fun, she's very gifted, she's 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.160 very yeah. And it's and I think it comes from 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:53.080 she's got an old school heart when it comes to 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:58.400 when it comes to television and that kind of comedy. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.480 I mean I liken it to kind the like the 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:05.000 Bob new Hearts of the Right, you know what I mean, 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.680 where Bob Newhart was like he wasn't it didn't feel 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.720 like he was doing something perfect or precious, because but 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:16.400 he was. It just felt so natural for him, right, 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.080 I feel the same way. Yeah, just as as quick 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:26.400 as lightning, that one unbelievable. Um. Um, So look the fans, 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.600 they they they email questions and they want to know. 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:36.160 They're very excited about you being on the show. Um aside, 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.920 and they want to know. Okay, here's here's uh, Jennifer 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:49.000 from God, I I hope I can answer this, Okay, Um, well, okay, 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.120 you can probably answer this. Uh from from Houston, Texas. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:57.080 Jennifer from Houston, Texas. Uh, Billy Park is so cool. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.840 I agree, Jennifer, h what do you think? What? What 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.160 did you think of your character Alex? Are you anything 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:13.280 like him? Huh? Again? I mean I really don't remember 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.840 the character that well. I mean I probably should have. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.600 I probably should have done some research and gone back 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.280 and taken a look. But then again, and then I'd 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.079 be in your shoes, cringing it stuff, and I don't 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:30.240 want to do that. So, um, let let me help 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.640 let me. I doubt I doubt it. I doubt there 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.800 was anything familiar to me about what he was supposed 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.599 to be. I probably was just doing my best to 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:50.240 you know, not offend anybody. Well that's that's it. Why 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.080 strategy that was easy to do? Um? Um, all right, 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:58.320 here's here's one hang on, uh This is from Robert 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:05.720 from Seattle. I thank you yours. Yeah, you're close, right, Okay, 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.679 I spent all my formative years in downtown Seattle, from 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:19.120 okay to uh. He wants to know any favorite memories 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:27.440 working with Lauren or Melissa McCarthy. Did I have scenes 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:32.320 with Melissa hum just outside when you went to see 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.360 the Broadway show that everybody hated and she was there 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:42.640 with Jackson out theater after the theater. I'm sure it was. 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.280 I'm sure it was beyond pleasant. Um. Everybody on the 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:50.520 show was obviously, I mean, given my sort of fish 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:57.280 out of water feeling about myself, everybody was was so kind. Um. 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.079 I don't have any specific recollections about that. Laura and 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:05.000 I have always I mean, as I was saying before, 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.280 we we did a little independent movie beforehand a few 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:12.840 years prior, and we had we had what I would 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:17.240 consider to be one of those sort of automatic oh 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.680 I get you, I get what you're doing. Um, And 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.040 so we had one of those kind of friendships, and 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:28.760 I think that translated, hopefully translated into into the stuff 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:35.000 on screen. Every every moment working with Lauren is always 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:44.400 a joy, right, Okay, So let's change gears. Talk about 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:49.160 a little bit Twilight. There's so many Twilight, uh questions, emails? 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.000 Good god, there were so many. So you're about to 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:57.080 say there's so many Twilight movies, which there are? Good god, 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:05.840 how many of them? Uh? Uh? Um, okay, who this is? Uh? 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:11.520 This is Robert Roberta from Albuquerque. You've worked steady since 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.640 the nineties, but many fans no use Charlotte Swan, Bella's 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:20.000 dad and Twilight. Ah, in those five years the franchise, 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:26.160 was it hard to walk outside without being recognized. Um 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:32.840 those five years were probably my most recognizable. Um I 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:43.760 without without just the the Charlie Swan porn stash, without 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.319 just that on my face. Um, I kind of disappear 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.640 into myself most of the time. So it depends on 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.520 what facial hair I have at the time, going on 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:59.040 how recognized, how recognizable I am. But but yeah, during 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:03.280 those five years, um, look, it was it was just 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.280 nice to be a part of something that people were 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:09.240 paying attention to, you know, as as she said herself, 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.440 I've been working since the early nineties, and you know, 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.880 I had a lot of good successes and and some 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:20.280 dips and and as all careers do, and uh and 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.160 so Yeah, it was. It was nice to be a 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:29.600 part of that, UM, but I don't necessarily love not 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:34.720 having an unim anonymity. However, you say that word, you know, 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:40.840 um right, uh? And so did it what you were 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:46.199 doing the music? Then you were pretty serious about recording 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:51.400 and releasing songs and was at that time I used 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.760 that around that time when the first Twilight came out, 0:13:55.840 --> 0:14:00.480 That's when Twitter was still kind of burgeoning. Uh. I 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.480 didn't get the concept, still kind of don't um. But 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.000 somebody approached me saying, UM, this is gonna be a 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.520 necessary tool for you. You're gonna you're gonna want to 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.120 have this. I said, I don't know that, I am. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.120 I don't know that I will ever use it. And 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.440 then I started thinking, oh, because I was in the 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.480 throes of kind of putting together an album for myself 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.520 of just stuff that I've been running over the years, 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:30.680 and so I figured, h, I will use that for 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.560 what I can and what I can do is use 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:38.760 it as a promotional tool for that. UM. And so yes, 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:43.080 during that time, I put out a record and we did, 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.840 and probably only because of Twilight fans, we did. We 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:52.040 released it on a format called CD Baby, and we 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:56.320 had their biggest single day day opening sales record of 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:01.560 all time at the time, which was great. Um So 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:06.160 in those cases, social media pretty useful. But did you 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.440 did you get music? Did you get did you get into? 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.640 We did? We did one? We did one album released 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:17.240 show in Los Angeles at the House of Blues which 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.000 people came from being everywhere to come and see, which 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:27.200 was was really great. Um but no, no tour. I can't. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.480 It's impossible to keep a band together if you're if 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.320 your main career is is moving in television. You just 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.000 can't do. I mean, I know some guys do, but 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.040 we don't. We don't see him very often the way 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:52.080 h m hm. Did A did a label step up? Oh? No, no, 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.400 And I didn't expect that to happen. I mean, my 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.480 music was very sort of eclectic and kind of specific 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:03.840 to myself els and my thought patterns, And I mean, 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.600 I think it's couched in really good melodic music, American 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.800 style music, but it's but content wise and lyrically, it's 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.320 I don't know that that's gonna identify with the masses. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.560 So if I were the record label, I know I 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:23.480 might enjoy the momentary popularity for a second and say, oh, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.280 we can make something out of this, but long run. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.320 H So, who are who are some of your big 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:35.240 musical influences growing up and currently what informs your writing? 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.960 I grew up with mostly my mother's music, which was 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:45.040 a lot of singer songwriters, um, the Jim Croaches and 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:52.520 in James Taylor's uh early early Billy Joel early Elton 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:59.480 John was a huge influence. Um Bowie Um always sort 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.960 of all the sort of artisans of that period. Yeah. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.080 What always amazed me about Bowie is his very early 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:11.679 career and his his his right. The songwriting in his 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:17.760 teens was so vulnerable, it was so odd even. It 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:22.879 was just all of these very childlike, delicate little songs 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.720 that where he created this very safe world for those 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:31.639 characters to an habit. And then he writes what was 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.480 his big breakthrough a song? It was was it space 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:38.120 Oddity or was it um? I think space Ody put 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:43.439 him on the the big map right right right, But 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:48.720 there was one before that It was like wow, um, yeah, 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.760 you know I was, I was, really I was. I 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.040 mean I was born in sixty six, so uh so 0:17:56.240 --> 0:18:00.199 that was that kind of knowledge was was beyond at 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.479 that point. I didn't get into Bowie Bowie until I 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:07.680 was you know, early teens, right. Um, So I'm no scholar. 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.720 I can't answer your question about when something came out 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:18.240 damn it. Um, but yeah, that early stuff. You're absolutely 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.879 right what he was doing. I just don't know that 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.600 there's any parallel to it whatsoever. I mean, not only 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:30.160 was it vulnerable, but it was so just weirdly insightful 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:35.119 and and uh and communicated to so many people in 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:40.000 so many different ways, in such specific ways. Um. Yeah, 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:45.160 I mean he's the the ultimate uh, the ultimate outsider, 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:51.800 absolutely who made somehow everybody go like that's probably the 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:56.560 coolest guy in the world. And yeah, yeah, for his 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:01.199 entire life or his entire A pony just he just 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.040 kept doing it. He just kept he kept changing until 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:08.080 until the day he died. He was kept doing his thing. Yeah, 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:13.480 Oh my god, I still watch He was on Jules 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.600 Holland in two thousand and God, what was it, two 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:20.800 thousand and two. I may have seen this on YouTube. 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.159 He does you know he did? Well, maybe it was 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.520 maybe it was two thousand and ten, but I'm thinking 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:33.199 two tho. Jules Holland. Oh jeez, what just happened? I 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:37.800 don't know oh good. Sorry, Um, he did Rebel Rebel 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.560 uh in the studio and travel live audience, and it 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.600 was just I don't know, every time I listened to 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.600 it, it it brings a tear. It's just it's such a 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.560 huge song. It's such a great range. It's just such 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.959 a big moment, you know. It's just the audience was 0:19:55.119 --> 0:20:01.880 so happy. Yeah. They were just and quintessential rock and roll. 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:07.520 That's yeah, wherever you are, and he placed time that 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:11.120 riff starts you know where you're back again? Yeah, yeah, 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:13.920 and the and the vocal he laid down on that 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.040 with such ease, and it's just like, God, damn, this 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:21.520 guy was magic. Yeah, he made he made everything look easy. 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:26.280 It was part of it, you know, the movement, yes, 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:31.600 you know everything. The phenomenal musicianship that he put into everything. 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.359 I mean, he played so many instruments and was so 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:44.840 knowledgeable about notes. I mean, yeah, there will never be another. Yea. 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:50.160 I share your your fascination and respect with it with 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:54.720 with that artist. My god, he's my probably my favorite 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.960 artist of all time, at least in the last sixty years, 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:05.520 seventy years. Um, I can't think of anybody Desert Island wise, 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:07.560 if you're gonna bring somebody's music with you, and you 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:13.040 only have one. I can't. I can't think of anybody else. Yeah, 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:18.800 there's one that, there's one of them for me. There's 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:22.639 one that that is sort of competing right now. And 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.720 I'm not even gonna say it because I'm I'll be 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:32.120 embarrassed to say it. But somebody, somebody present day Yah, yeah, yeah, 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:40.200 who's extraordinary in every way? I mean just master songwriter, singer, performer, 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:44.960 it's just the whole thing. But anyway, male or female female? 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:49.639 Do I have an idea of who you're talking about? 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:56.480 I don't know. Maybe think about it for me when 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:58.879 you say all those things, Phoebe Bridges comes to mind 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:04.600 for me. Oh, you know what I'm gonna. I'm gonna. 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.320 I'm gonna check her stuff out. I'm not really versed 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.000 within her, so, but I will because I've heard great 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:15.680 I've heard yl songwriter Okay, right, okay, So I'm gonna 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:19.320 check it out because I love songwriters above and beyond everybody. 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.080 I love songwriters. And you can tell me who you're 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:23.879 talking about when we when we get off this thing. 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:35.760 You're not gonna believe it. You're just gonna laugh Okay, 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:42.240 here's here's another question. But you have a daughter. Do 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:44.200 you wanna Do you want to talk about your daughter 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.159 at all? Or we don't have to, But if if 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:49.280 you don't want to, that's fine. But I'm okay talking 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:53.879 about her. I don't think that I'll be revealing any secrets, 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:58.120 but she wouldn't want me to. Okay. So here's uh, 0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:05.879 Mary Anne from New York, New York. That's where I am. 0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:09.280 Five five huge films and five years and your daughter 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:12.120 was born during the first one. How did you manage 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:19.640 that work schedule? Did you ever get a break? Uh? 0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:28.040 Those five years were a kind of a blur. Um. Yeah, 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:31.720 it was go go go all the time. Her mother 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:34.080 and I were still married at the time, of course, 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:37.479 and so that made it a lot easier. She Uh, 0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:39.399 she had to do a lot of work in terms 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:43.040 of you know, just the day to day while I 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:50.240 was off, you know, playing Make Belief, and uh, it 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.320 was it was busy, but yeah, it was. I mean, 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.280 those were some of my favorite years with my with 0:23:56.320 --> 0:24:00.000 my kid because we traveled a bit in like different places. 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.680 She'd come to the set m once in a while, 0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:08.119 and and uh it was it was good times. But 0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:16.680 it wasn't under onelm right. She now, um though, speaking 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:21.199 of the sunch a good hand. Although she hasn't uh 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:27.600 seen more girls, apparently it's repopularized with a lot of 0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:30.720 kids age now as friends and all these things that 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:36.320 had resurgences and so so she did like sometime last 0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:39.000 year I think it was, came home and said, do 0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:44.400 you want the Gilmore Girls? Oh? Yeah, I was. She's like, yeah, 0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:49.880 my friends were watching it, they said they. I said, okay, Well, um, yeah, 0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:53.680 I've been around a while. Have you kept in touch 0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:59.199 with any of the Twilight cast? And that's uh Eva 0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.880 from Los Angeles. You must to know that. Yeah, I 0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:08.919 wouldn't say Captain Touch. I have run into one or 0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.560 two or six of them from time to time over 0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:16.960 the years, and uh it's always a pleasant sight. Um Again, 0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:22.480 not one objectionable person in that castor crew that I 0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:26.719 can remember either all really and and you know, at 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:31.520 the time, I could tell I can tell some stuff 0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:35.480 that was going on with some of those people, Um, 0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:37.520 a few in particular. I'm not going to name any names, 0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:41.399 but but I could see that there was gonna be 0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:45.199 some great stuff beyond what we were doing at present 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:52.320 as well. For some of those people. Um, okay, I 0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:56.719 have a question for this form me. You worked with 0:25:56.760 --> 0:26:01.879 Anthony Hopkins, I did the right Anthony Hopkins the the 0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:09.159 Is there anything that he does that you that just 0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:13.280 set you back on your heels because it's unlike other 0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:17.160 actors are doing it? What makes him so great? While 0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:20.280 you got a chance because you worked with him a lot. 0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:22.399 Actually in that film? What was it? What was the 0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:24.480 name of that film you were having in a fan 0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:29.080 of his wife? You were a detective, right, it was 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:34.000 it was him and Gosling, Right, I was the foil 0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:40.360 um And it was called why are you asking me this? Now? Now? 0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:46.080 I mean now, I'm gonna blank on the on the title. Um, 0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.600 it was one of those you know titles. It was 0:26:49.640 --> 0:27:02.000 like a yes, yes, yes, yes, you know look you guys, 0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:05.800 Figger than the film that's understandable, the best, the best 0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:11.800 time in my life? What was the film called? Uh? So, 0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:17.280 that's a great question because what was what turned out 0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:20.480 to be shocking was the opposite of what you just said. 0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:25.320 There was nothing that he did, um, that I looked 0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:29.679 at and watched and experienced and uh there was really 0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:33.120 anything different than I do myself. He's one of those 0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:39.040 guys that and you know, in between scenes we'll you know, 0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:41.240 we'll go back and sit in our chairs, and you know, 0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:44.359 she'd a little bit just talk about nothing, this and 0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:47.919 that and and then he's the guy who's reading the 0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:52.280 l A times da Dad, Mr Hopkins, were ready for you? Okay, 0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:56.199 hold up the paper, goes to work, right. There's not 0:27:56.240 --> 0:27:58.480 a lot of there's not a lot of extraneous thought 0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:00.800 that's put into it. He's he knows what he's he 0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:04.400 knows what he's doing before he gets thereright, And and 0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:07.399 that's what I saw. What's what's it? What's he like? 0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:14.160 In rehearsal um? We didn't really as far as I remember, 0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:18.719 we didn't rehearse a lot. We um. We set up 0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:23.800 the scenes. We uh, you know, maybe ran the dialogue 0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:27.959 for for blocking and placement a little bit um, but 0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:33.119 we never did any hardcore rehearsal um. I think we 0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:35.680 did a little bit before. I remember doing a little 0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:40.040 bit beforehand with with the director and with with Gosling, 0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:44.760 but uh not with uh not with Hopkins. And on 0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.480 set we didn't do much rehearsal either. I mean, I 0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:51.160 I think again, I'm assuming he's he's like me when 0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:55.160 it comes to that as well, I kind of come, uh, 0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:59.880
