Kristin Chenowith knocked it out of the park. 73 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: Stephen Totalowski, remember in the first year, he was the 74 00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: old choir teacher who road, who was in a appropriate 75 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: with a boy. Remember that we couldn't do that. Now, 76 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: he did quite a few inappropriate things. He was selling 77 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, marijuana to the kids, right buck. And he 78 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: had a very scary doll collection this isn't and his 79 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: tease and his like kimono. It was odd.

I think gets scored easily and 82 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: then he moves on to something else. But whereas I 83 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: would be like, oh, this works, keep it and he's like, 84 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: we'll do something else.

Do you have that reaction? Do 95 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: people have that reaction? I don't think anybody really expects 96 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: the person in real life to be what they're like 97 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: on television. I think we we we don't we get 98 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: the I think for the most part. Yeah, our Sue 99 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: and Sue is still happily married.

It's like, yeah, we're not 109 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: going to write about that anymore. I remember being really 110 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: excited about that storyline and then it just sort of 111 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: it got lost to something else, which happened.

Oh my gosh, let's 216 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: oh god. Ian's insane. Ian's absolutely insane. Someone wanted to 217 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: know if you think Sue is a hero or a villain. 218 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: She's a hero. She's not a villain. She's outwardly a villain. 219 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: Um but uh, I mean she can She was mean. 220 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: But the great thing about Glee is that no one 221 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: really took it to heart. No like I would, you know, 222 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: make fun of everybody Asian number one, frankin teen um wheels, 223 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: kid in the wheelchair. But you guys will be like, 224 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: but nobody got really got their feelings hurt. So she 225 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: was She was benign in that way. And when she 226 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: stood up for people, and she would never let it 227 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: get too far. She would apologize, she would she would 228 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: go to war take you know, take something to the 229 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: mat for somebody. Um, she was a defender, a warrior 230 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: who you know, she was flawed. She she went, she went. 231 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: She was so protective that she of herself and people 232 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: and of her tender heart. That she made some bad 233 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: decisions sometimes and she was meaner than she needed to be. 234 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: But for the most part, she's a hero. But that's 235 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: a great question because she's both. But to me, you know, 236 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm never gonna play an out right villain anyway. Who's 237 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: going to play an outright villain? You can't think that way. 238 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: The actor has to think, what's what's going on in here? 239 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: What's really going on that that I can understand and humanize. 240 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: Someone wanted to know what was your favorite nickname for 241 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: a character? For everyone? I did. I liked Frank and 242 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: Team for Corey because he was so tall and so goofy. 243 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: He didn't fit into his body. You know, it was weird, gangly. 244 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: He was gangly, and even watching him walk sometimes it 245 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: was like he never really inhabited his body because he 246 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: was still so young. You know that maybe as he 247 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: got older, but there was a part of him. It's 248 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: like this ten year old kid who was five ft 249 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: tall and now all of a sudden, he's six ft two. 250 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: So I love that I called him Frank and Tea 251 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: and yeah, puppies, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of like 252 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: a big dope exactly.

They're kind of big, 254 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're seventy pounds with her like two 255 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: years old, but they're like, yeah. I try to think 256 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: if there were any other I like, I love that 257 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: you never called Emma Emma. You only I think I 258 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: can tell you only called her Emma once. Ever, there 259 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: was always some other version of that. Yeah, I will 260 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: tell you one thing I did improvise. I was talking 261 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: to her and I was telling her, what's what in 262 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: the teacher's loaned, and then I looked down. You know, 263 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: she always wore like big, like a big bow or 264 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: something like that. She had a big bow in the 265 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: middle of her blouse. And I said, and that bow 266 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: is insane. You know, Jama was just on the show. 267 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: She's talking about all of her bows. Yeah. She was 268 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: so good. Yeah, and she and Matt would have been 269 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: Sir Chuster would have been such a cute little couple. 270 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite episode or a favorite season. 271 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: I think the first season is my favorite. Yeah, yeah, okay, 272 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: I think all my favorite shows are probably in the 273 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: first season. Yeah. It seems to be the unanimous answer 274 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: for whenever we ask people if Ryan Murphy wanted to 275 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: do a sus In Vester spinoff, would you do it 276 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: in a second? In a hot minute? Alright, should we 277 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: fit in like one or two more? Yeah, let's do it. Okay, 278 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: I'll pick one. You pick one so we can release Jane. 279 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: That's right from this from our grip are typo oh. 280 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: Somebody asked, like, what was your reaction to the scene 281 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: where Santana yelled and pushed Sue in season five? Okay, good, good, good, Yeah, 282 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: they're into it. She played it beautifully. We had a 283 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: whole monologue. You know. She was one of those people 284 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: who could look at the script in the morning and 285 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: she had some monologues like I did, and not only 286 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: be off book, but perfect, played it perfect that picture photographers. 287 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: I never could understand how she did that. It was 288 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: always so impressive. Sharp mind. Do you think your portrayal 289 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: of Sue evolved or changed over the series as the 290 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: character became so iconic. I think even when I started, 291 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: like season one, I knew there had to be a 292 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: reason why she was who she was, Um and why 293 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: she was so mean, And that's when I came up with. 294 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: I came up with for myself that she had been 295 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: bullied in high school and she was getting her revenge 296 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: by going back to teach high school. And then they 297 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: gave me the down syndrome sister. I think it was 298 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: like either the first season, at the beginning of the 299 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: second season, and then from there Becky Um became my 300 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: best friend in my Luke Tenant in crime and evilness, 301 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: evil during and um, so that deepened it for me. Um. 302 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: I think her, you know, they always kept her pretty 303 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: mean because her, but they gave me more redemptive moments. 304 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: They gave me more heroic moments and more courageous moments, 305 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: and more honest moments as time went on, like when 306 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: my sister died, when Horrid died and um uh, you know, 307 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: towards the end, when I was vice president and then 308 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: we did that. That was the hardest thing to shoot 309 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: that day in the auditorium last It was hard. Yeah. Yeah, 310 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: Is there a Glee character that you were? You were 311 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: like in high school. Oh my god, that's such a 312 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: good question. No, not really.

I was everybody's friend, but 322 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: not their best friend exactly. And a lot of it 323 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: for me was like, yeah, I belonged to a bunch 324 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: of them, like I was with the popular girls, and 325 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: then I was with like the kind of the choir 326 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: nerds and the theater nerds. But a lot of it, 327 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: too was that I knew I was coming to the 328 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: uh awareness that I was gay. I learned what it 329 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: was when I was in high school, and I was like, 330 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: oh my god, I think I have that. And I 331 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: didn't know anybody else. I had one friend and he 332 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: was my best friend, Chris, and he was like completely 333 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: open with himself. Certainly not in our little high school. 334 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, he caught the gay and now what happens. 335 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes it happens sometimes. All right, well, Jane, we're gonna 336 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: let you go. Thank you a lot. It's my pleasure. 337 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: Thank you for doing this.

But you guys wrote in, and 342 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: we had too many questions to ask, which is always 343 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: a good problem.
