How did you decide to become an actor? 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:30.000 Oh? My goodness. Well, I kind of I fell into 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.399 it as a little girl who always loved to play 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:36.480 dress up, like so many of us loved to play act. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.160 But then I was such a shy, shy, shy child, 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.480 and I had really outrageous and wonderful close girlfriends whose 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.679 parents were in theater and saying opera and to all 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.519 sorts of things, and so we played dress up endlessly. 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.079 But it was when I got to my freshman year 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.040 in high school and I had the opportunity at my 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:05.040 little conservative Catholic high school to have a special week 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:09.320 where I got to jump into acting. And I was 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.760 so happy because I was free. I didn't have to 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.519 be Jane, I didn't have to be shy Jane. I 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:19.320 could just be something else. And so it kind of 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.200 started working in my heart like this would be super fun. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.359 And so I didn't want anyone to know I was 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.600 a theater geek. You know, we could all love that, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.560 we can love all of our movies and love going 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.280 to plays and stuff, but you know, those people were 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:36.640 really out there for me. And so what I did 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.080 was I kind of snuck out and I did community 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.240 theater and even more and more so, I finally when 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.000 my mom said, what are you going to do? What's 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:44.800 your dream? And I said, well, my dream is to write, 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.400 But you know what I think I want to do 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.560 is I want to try acting. And she said, go 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.520 for it. So I got into UCLA and I was 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.560 just one thing after another. I felt like it was 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:02.720 one like magical mystic call movement by angels that I 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.400 still don't know to this day that actually bumped me 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.000 to the first audition, that led me to my first 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.320 screen test, that led me to my next kid. It 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:15.240 was really was like boom boom boom. I always say, 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.320 and I and I really truly mean it that I 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.320 have friends, you know, at college in particular, who are 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.800 far more talented than I, far more talented, but somehow 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.240 something plucked me up and gave me these opportunities. So 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.240 I never take that for granted. I know that there's 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:38.600 others work for I loved every and I do love 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.440 and I continue to love every moment of it. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.839 But were you a California kid? Yeah? 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:47.880 Fifth generation? Okay, so you're both are in California. Yeah, 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:49.200 now in California? 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.040 Now, yeah, I grew up in Orange County, but he's 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.080 from the East Coast. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.239 I'm from Connecticut. Yeah, so I will. 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.600 Never say he's a California kid. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.160 I've been here thirty years, but I'm still a Connecticut boy. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.279 You both really are on brand though, for looking like 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.080 you're California and I'm losing my as I'm getting older, 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.839 I'm losing my blonde hara. But yes, you're on brand. 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.200 Were you able to stay in college or were you 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.599 just like picking up so much that you had to, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.839 Like how did were you able to finish and do 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:20.520 that or did it. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.520 Take you away from it because you were so busy. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.680 That's a really good question because I because at UCLA 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.440 at that time, you were booted if you got a 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:34.640 job outside of the Wow. Yeah, because they wanted us 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.080 to commit to our education. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.760 Yeah, and it would literally kick you out of school 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.200 if you got a job. Yeah. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.960 And like just hard because I was like, oh no, no, no, 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:47.640 you could take regular jobs. You just couldn't take an 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.159 acting job. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:49.039 Oh my god. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:53.400 You had to commit to your education. And so I 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.960 between my junior and my senior year, I was on 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.279 a plane to screen test for Soapa Broad New York, 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.640 which is one of those things that's overnight, like oh my. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:03.440 Gosh, here we go. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.599 And I blessedly didn't get the job. Jane Kikowski got 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:12.719 the job. Okay, I wish she is, of course trusten obviously. Wait, 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.560 she also did a huge siccon, didn't she. 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.400 Yeah, well she was in Allan McBeal. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.640 Alan mcbeil, wasn't she also? I feel like she was 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:20.159 on something. 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.440 Else, thirty Rock that's it. Yeah, yeah, she's huge. 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.000 I mean she's huge. Anyway, she got the part, and 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.640 I was like, that's fine. I got to stay at 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.119 UCLA and do this one and really intense class where 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.200 they plucked some of the undergrads and put him into 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.200 the graduate department for one year. So we actually got 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.240 a lot more acting in combat and all the things 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.040 that you would she always wished to have, but you 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.120 don't have to necessarily get the master's degree. And my 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.640 best friends are from that time, so it was, you know, 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.880 again all the things that were supposed to happen, and 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.000 I ended up working with I mean, you know what 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.320 it's like, I got ended up working with a casting 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.280 director because I didn't know what I was doing. I 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.560 didn't have an agent, I didn't have any of them, right, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.880 and so this casting director that sent me on that 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.479 screen test called up an agent at the time that 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.560 was really highly regarded, very boutique agency but did a 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.880 lot of work with theater actors, and she said, I'm 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.840 not going to sign her, but I will put her 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.679 under my wing and she can, you know, just loosely 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.880 be with us. When I was there for like five years, 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.360 but I started working with this casting director, so I 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.720 got to see everybody and how they were when they 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:25.400 came into the room. 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:25.960 Right. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.440 That was like, that was my master's education was working 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.320 with this casting director to see how you could really 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:37.240 blow it? Right, Yes, you don't know, right? 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.600 Oh yeah, I don't know how you You didn't say 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.200 all the things you can do to get the job, 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.320 you said you really saw the things you could do 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:43.920 to blow it. 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.320 That's really amazing. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.480 I have to ask, what's the one thing that you 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.760 remember most about, Like, oh, you do that, you're not 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:52.480 going to get the job. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.320 What's the thing that you're going to blow it the 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:54.960 second you do this? 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.440 I think the people that would come in with an 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:01.679 attitude unless it was the character, of course, we're just like, Nope, 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.840 nobody wants to work with a jerk. Yeah, nobody wants 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.880 to work for the jerk. It's really weird. I don't 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:12.120 understand why. I mean, I'm sure I've done that before. 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.160 But you know, no one really wants to work with 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.680 a jerk, so they want, you know, they want personality. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.240 But some people would come in there would be rude 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.160 or they would they wouldn't be prepared. And that was 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.680 the thing. You know, if you are in the room, 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:29.160 be prepared as best. And obviously nerves can make you know, 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.680 make it comfortable, but it doesn't ruin it. I think 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.440 I think it's something about obviously, you know, there's there's 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:43.040 a you know, the genesiquah of charisma or magnetism. But 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:48.440 I found the people that were actually interested in making 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.160 a connection also with the people in the room, not 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.040 kissing up right then really making that heart to heart connection. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.319 Like now I really want to know about you two, 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.559 Like if I if you guys already come into my room, 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.199 like you know, how would you do it right? 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.640 Do you know? Do you know how we how audition? 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.920 How do you prepare your spirit before you go in? 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.440 Oh god, oh my question. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.360 We just talked about this with someone else in an interview, 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:18.000 and I mean it didn't matter how many times. 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:18.600 You go on an audition. 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:23.160 It's way more often for you to be your nerves 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.600 to kick in and be just it's so stressful than 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.520 it is to be like walking in and being like 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.200 I got this, Like even when it's like the most 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.360 perfect part, there's a part of an actor that has 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.520 that just anxiety and nerves. But what I love that 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.360 about that is for me, my nerves and my anxiety 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:44.840 means that I care if I was going into an 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.200 audition room and I didn't have that really in it. 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.680 I went in, I went out, It didn't matter. I 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:55.120 obviously didn't care about that part. This anxiety or nerves 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.840 for me was like, oh yeah, like I'm gonna like 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.040 it was. It would get me like kind of it 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.160 would turn into it would take me because I'd live 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:06.320 in Orange County drive up to LA it would. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:07.320 Be on the nightmare. 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:08.720 Yeah, on the nightmare. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.280 I would hate it and have all this anxiety to 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.120 the point if there was any traffic I wanted to 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.440 just go back home. But then it would somehow from 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.559 getting out of my car to sitting down in the 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.640 waiting room become like adrenaline And it was something that 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:26.360 I feel like I eventually nurtured and made work for me. 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.240 He's working against me, right, you challenged something else, right? 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:31.600 Yeah, but I too, love. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:33.960 I mean, you've been on a set where you don't 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.640 make connections, and so I really would go into the 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:40.200 casting rooms and, you know, try to make somewhat of 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.760 a connection, because if that person was going to be 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.880 on set at some point, that'd be somebody who I've 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.840 kind of felt a little bit more comfortable with, you know, 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.160 So I do think that's important for sure. 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.280 Yeah, that's true. True. I thought the best advice that 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.480 anyone had ever given me, way back in those days 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.520 when I was first starting out, was remember, they want 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.760 you to make their job easy. 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.600 Sure, they want they want you to They don't want 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.360 you to fail.

But you talked 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.520 about how you were a shy growing up, which I 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.360 find interesting because I'd love to talk a little bit 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.720 about k R A t O. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:59.400 Yes, you were a DJ, weren't you? 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:00.880 Was it DJ?

That was the time in my high school 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:17.280 life that I was definitely putting on a persona, doing 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.120 my best to be something something else, something I had 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:25.640 moved from that shy area, from that from that town 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.920 into a whole other town when my parents split up, 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.200 So I decided I was going to be do my 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.120 best to be brave. But I still didn't want people 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:33.120 to know I was a theater. 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:38.560 A closeted theater geek. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.360 It was just because they were so bigger than life. 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.079 And it's no judgment. 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.200 Like to this day, some. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.720 Of my best friends I want to play my wife 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.800 on Friends. I mean, she's a huge theater actors I 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.760 love and most of my most of my dearest friends 0:12:55.800 --> 0:13:00.040 are in theater, still doing theater. It's not that I 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.560 I love it, It's just that I didn't want to 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:06.400 perform like you know, you are naturally funny. I was 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.199 not give me a script. I'm okay, I can hide 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.640 behind it, okay, but krit was just a fun way 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.920 for me. Actually, it was more because the music I 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.360 moved to Sacramento, and the music when I moved to 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.280 Sacramento was just the time. Were you around when like 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:22.480 MTV is happening. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.720 Of course, okay, of course I'm almost fifty, so I'm 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.559 I'm yeah, I was there for it all, So you. 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.040 Were there, so that that just broke When I was 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.880 in high school and when I moved from the Bay Area, 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.320 I was sad and I've heard splitting up. But also 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.120 the music that was playing in Sacramento was about four 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.320 years behind us. It felt like, oh, it was a 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.720 great opportunity for me to bring really cool music to Sacramento. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.720 So I changed up the playlist from ac DC just 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:56.760 you know, it's like New Way music, the carrso yeah, 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.080 good music, the tubes, the cars. 0:13:59.080 --> 0:13:59.720 I love that car. 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.920 Oh that's awesome. Okay. 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.080 So then you find yourself you're you're now out of UCLA. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.440 You luckily they didn't kick you out for wanting to 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:15.480 get a job. So you go, where does Santa Barbara 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.400 the soap opera come into play? 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.360 Well, again, it was from the so So this this 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:25.360 audition that happened that made that gave me that screen test. Well, 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.760 I just still don't know who recommended me for that, 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.640 that had me. They put it in my box. It's 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.920 like the secret you know, it's like a secret message. 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.800 You have an audition at NBC tomorrow at you know, 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.720 such and such time. So that casting director brought me back, 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.880 you know, to help him read people, as I said, 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.720 And then when the Santa Barbara audition came up, he 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:52.880 had me read for Robin Wright's part, and and obviously 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.440 she got it. And this was a you know, it 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.160 was a big deal because everyone was excited about a 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.320 new soap opera, and so that's how I auditioned for 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.240 another part. And everyone wants to play by days that 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.480 by nine a dual character, because I gave you the 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:14.760 juiciest stuff. It was so ridiculous. I'm like so over 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.120 the top like I had. 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:17.240 That's awesome. 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:18.040 I was doing a. 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.640 Play at the Santa Monica Playhouse at that time, and 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:25.120 my hair was red because my because I was replacing 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.360 at that time, that's Italia Balsam, who is who is 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.840 George Cliney's wife at the time, and all the casts 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.760 had well another the mother and the sister had red hair, 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:37.720 so of course to take over her part, I had 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.480 to dye my hair red all this and so I 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.200 and then I got the part on Santa Barbara. And 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.440 I love the idea that I wasn't a blonde because 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.880 a lot of the characters were as blond as Usul, 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:53.080 you know, they were very blonde. And so they asked 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:54.680 if I would keep my red hair. And I was 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.520 still doing the play like old course until I could 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.520 run this out. But I had to dye my hair 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:04.160 once because I was growing, my roots were growing and blonde. Yeah, 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:09.120 and it wasn't it wouldn't stay. So finally it was 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.040 That's how I got the part. But it was it 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.200 was a lot of fun. She was a dual character, 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:21.440 and I literally was was. I was way beyond anything 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.000 that I knew in my life how to do it. 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:27.160 I mean, I have some really big stories about how 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.640 rough it can be when you are not prepared for it. 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.920 And soaproper life was like the most rigorous was five 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:33.240 days a. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.640 Week and you know thirty four and script changes and 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.000 things that happened like in a blink and you're going 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.920 through pages and pages and pages at once. I I 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.920 was on Bold and Beautiful for when I was younger, 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.280 and it was like and I thought it was great, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:50.200 But what was great It. 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.360 Was consistent, Like I'm seeing that you were on. You 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:53.560 appeared in one hundred and. 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:57.480 Eighteen episodes, all within like two years, Like that's literally working, 0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:58.920 like everything's. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:16:59.480 Three hours, that's three weeks. 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.080 That's three weeks with the shooting on a soap opera 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.080 right undred and eighteen episodes. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:05.280 It's almost at. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.280 That time I was hoping to get a contract because 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.280 soap opera work was great for that consistency. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:15.520 And that schedule, like I was. 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.560 I was in college, so I was thinking, Oh, I 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.200 can work my college schedule around it, But. 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:21.399 How did you do that? 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:22.840 Yeah, that would be hard to do that. 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.040 I didn't end up getting the contract. 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.360 I only ended up doing like eight, eight or nine 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:28.640 episodes or something like that. 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:30.960 But I liked working on it and I felt like 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.240 it helped my memory so much. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.960 Yeah, you're right. I would almost recommend that to everybody 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.880 starting out. That was even more intense to my college 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.480 education because you have to learn memorization. But like my 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.320 very first day, no idea, No, No, I'd never been 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.920 trained at UCLA about cameras because I was a pater actress, right, 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.040 and you know, you can't get an acting degree in 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.000 film at that point. You couldn't. No, I think they do, 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.119 but at that point you couldn't. So literally, on my 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:02.600 first day, I am being blocked with lines that I 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.720 had just learned, had gotten my script the night before. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.960 I was you know, I was probably only like twenty pages, 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.800 but that's a lot any people you've never met before 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.800 A ton. Yeah, so you're getting you know, blocked in 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:18.840 and all of that, and all of a sudden I 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.960 hear booming. I still say it makes me like fill 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.439 with goosebumps. This day, I hear someone yelling over the 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.760 loud speaker help that, and he swore he gave me 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:35.359 a little scrumword to find her light. Oh my gosh, wow, 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.919 because I was working with a really tall actor and 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:39.960 I was behind him, so I was completely my face 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:43.560 and shot. Oh like, So I've always kind of turned 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.840 that into like, find my godlife right there you go 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.240 there for the rest of my life, It's like find 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:51.320 my life. And so I and literally my eyes were 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.680 like this, and someone just took me by the shoulders 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.000 and just moved me over. 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.440 Never let me help you out here. 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.080 I didn't know what to do. Word, I mean, all 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:05.240 these cameras, like you said, it was the best experience. 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:09.840 I had, amazing, amazing castmates that were just you know, 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.600 helping me get into it, get into the part is 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:19.159
