Be free by daniel Fishle 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.159 on this side because the power in my house is out, 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.760 So they graciously invited me to do our park Copper 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.800 episode from here, and I couldn't miss this one for 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.640 a very very specific reason. Sabrina, who's joining us today. 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:51.760 We are so. 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:57.280 Lucky to have the one, the only mister Brandon Baker 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.360 is joining us here and we get to talk all 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:01.960 things Johnny Sunami. 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.240 I can't wait. This is gonna be so much fun. 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.280 We both love this movie and we're so excited to 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:07.920 actually get a chance to get some of the insights 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.920 of what happened on the film with the man himself. 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:12.800 I was gonna say with Johnny Sunami himself, but we 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:14.360 find out that's that's not him. 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.039 I got a little tripped up when I want to 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.240 go introduce him because he is not Johnny Sunami. It's 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:23.200 not something that I just think is still so crazy 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:28.600 because obviously there was a big storyline with the Grandpa. Yeah, however, 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.880 it's still strange to me that Brandon's character is not Johnny, 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:34.040 right right. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.320 Yeah, we gotta we gotta figure that out. Yes, Johnny 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:37.800 Sunami Junior. 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:39.800 What if there was a title before? 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:40.720 Who knows? 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.080 Like they landed on Johnny Ssunami? Who knows? All coming up? 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.679 It's one of those things where you know you've have 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.520 you ever had this thing where you've never heard of something, 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.480 and then once you've heard of it, now you see 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.040 it everywhere? Right, I have that now with Johnny Tsunami 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.560 back on the board. Has I never heard of the 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.720 sequel or didn't know this sequel existed? And now I'm 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:00.400 seeing stuff about it? 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.480 Is it popping up on your Disney Plus. 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.240 And Disney Plus and people have been emailed me about it, 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.920 and I just keep going like, okay, just don't tell me, 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.000 don't tell me yet. I want to know. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.280 I was a giant fan of this movie when it 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.680 came out, and I still had no idea and you 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.960 had no idea. What is that about? What is that about, Disney? 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:19.880 Why were you not targeting. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.880 Me and making sure that I knew there was more 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:22.760 of the good. 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.000 Yes, the title should have been Johnny Sinami back on 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:32.200 the board, Sabrina. That should have been idiot. The movie 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.640 was called but he is here. We can't wait to 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.120 talk about what it was like to shoot Johnny Syinnami, 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.800 if he is in touch with anybody from the show still, 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.360 and of course what he's doing now.

It was before Cheetah Girls, after. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.560 Johnny Tsunami, though you had already done Johnny right. I 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:24.480 think I was. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.880 Trying to piece that together. I was talking about fiance yesterday. 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.200 I was like, I know who Sabrina Brian. I was like, 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.240 look at this message, and she sent me wondering if 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:32.720 I knew. 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.880 Who she was Like, I was like, I had a 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.360 crush on this girl when I was like thirteen. Oh yeah, yeah. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.360 I was like, come on, I know you're married and 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.720 you have a couple of kids. I did, but yeah, 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:48.840 of course kids like a classic actor. Yeah, totally. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.040 And the premise will I don't know if you remember. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.400 Sometime in the early two thousands or late nineteen nineties, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.240 I can't remember, but TRL was like giant and the 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.520 Disney Chance wanted to kind of do a Disney version 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.640 of TRL, and they were talking to us to be 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.640 like the host for it, and so we were super excited. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.800 I you know, obviously loved music. And then we get 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.640 there after they were kind of still piecing the show 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:18.720 together and we did. 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.280 We didn't do an official pilot. 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.279 But we did a little bit at the Disney Channel 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.440 building and then nothing, nothing came from it. 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:27.760 We were super stoked about it. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.760 They kind of talked to us like it was a 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:36.520 like go ahead thing, and then I like, never, no, yeah, 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.240 but that was gonna be such. We were excited about 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.440 the show. It's gonna be fun. And I don't remember, 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.640 I can't remember if Johnny Tsunami came before that or not. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.680 I know, I feel like it had I feel like 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.679 you were you know already. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.000 Well, didn't we say that, Johnny some I think when 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.320 we recapp Johnny Tsunami, didn't we say that? It was 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:56.720 like nineteen ninety nine. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:01.359 Yeah, and I think ioot that in two. So it 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.160 was either right in the middle of that or. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.400 Before. It would have to be. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.360 It'd have to do when we're all one to the 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.400 same casting directors all the time. 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.400 I'm sure. Well, Sabrina, when we originally started, even just 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.919 the idea of this podcast, she was like, Giant Ssnami. 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.400 We gotta do Giant Giant Snammy's my favorite movie. We 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.160 gotta do Gianni Snami. So I have to imagine that 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.960 doing the pilot with you was probably one of the 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:34.640 highlights for Sabrina. It was because she was such a 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:35.560 fan of your movie. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:36.680 I was. 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.680 I was telling him it was during my It was 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.120 perfect because it was during my surf era. I have 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:46.599 a picture of my freshman year high school photo book. 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.320 Literally I'm wearing puka shells like I was a I 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:51.480 love surfing. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.680 It was like the thing for me, but I also 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:55.520 loved snowboarding. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.880 So it was a perfect movie for me to absolutely 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.320 just fall in love with because it was two incredible sports. 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.839 The storyline was awesome, you were adorable.

So pretty incredible, Like, like, what 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.720 an incredible blessing that I never asked for. 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.680 I mean, people, I just recently talked to a kid 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.880 who's kid, a guy in his like mid twenties Filipino. 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:04.680 Dude was like, hey, man, I don't think I would 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.280 have gotten into acting had it not been for you. 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.239 Like you're the first person that I saw on screen 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.360 that kind of looked like me. That gave me the 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.560 thought that, like, oh, shoot, I can do this too. 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.720 So little things that where it's like, wow, I have nothing, 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.360 I actually have nothing to do that right, I was 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.840 born looking this way. I got casted because I was 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.560 brown and had long hair or whatever. The fact that 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.120 I'm part of someone else's story in that way is 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.120 so cool. It's like the coolest thing, isn't that? 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.760 Such a bonus of being part of the Disney Channel 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.800 in general is that they create these storylines, Yeah, and 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.880 opportunities for young talent, and there's just such a huge 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:43.640 push from them to open the boundaries and have you know, 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.719 like you said, you look like me or or your 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.679 character really resonated with what I was going through. You know, 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.520 that's such a huge bonus for actors to get to 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.040 do roles that end up matt like having a meaning, 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.839 they matter, They're not just you know, fun, and that's it. 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:05.079 They actually really touch people and young the youth, you know, 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:06.000 the next generation. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.520 That's unreal. I love that. I love that. That's so cool. 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.760 I think also they've played our shows or our movies. 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.360 Over and over, and yes, a little bit of brainwashing 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:16.480 does go into it. 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.480 It is a little bit a little like you will 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.680 like this movie Johnny is the best movie. 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:22.960 Yeah. 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.079 Yeah. I think also like we're part of like the 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.040 last or one of the last generations of like monoculture. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:29.440 Yeah. 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.760 Absolutely, So much is fractured now into these different little 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.280 niche groups of whatever you're into. And back then it 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.679 was like, well we all kind of had just you know, 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.439 twenty cable channels, Disney Channel. If you were in that 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.760 age group, that's what that's what you went to, or 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.160 TRL or Nickelodeon or or whatever. 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.720 So yeah, I also have to add just one thing 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.760 to what you said. Yes, they cast you because you 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.480 were brown and you had long hair, but they also 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:59.680 cast you because you were really, really good. You stole 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:03.640 that movie all the way around. And can you take 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.320 us back to the beginning. Do you remember the first 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.680 time you heard about Johnny Tsunami or the audition process. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:12.079 Yeah, yeah, yeah, so at that point, I had a 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.640 little bit of a relationship with like the Disney Channel 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.560 casting I think I think I was either on Even 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.880 Stevens around that time or maybe afterwards, but I kind 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.360 of know those people. My big break was a few. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.559 Years earlier, as as Mowgli in the Jungle Book, so 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.640 I kind of knew some of the Disney people from there, 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.120 like went off to do like a few of the 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:31.920 TV shows. 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.200 But that was the first role where I was able 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:36.959 to have a mom and a dad. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:41.160 Because back then I was like ambiguously brown, right, like, Okay, 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.360 you in a roomful of Asian dudes, you look Hispanic, 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.439 and roomful of Hispanic dudes, you look Asian, and like, 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.599 you know, what are you same? 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.160 I was not white, but not Hispanic. It was exactly 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:52.880 as Asa. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.599 So usually I was like the love interest for the 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.400 best friend. I never had a last name, and it 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.640 was like, oh, I have a mom and a dad. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.760 This is really cool. I like, you used to bring 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.120 up from southern California. I love to surf and skate 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.719 and snowboard. So it was like, I mean, you know 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:09.320 when you because have had these roles where it comes 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.640 through and you're like, oh, I totally know this person is. 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.760 If I don't get this or if I don't get 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.520 too very close to getting this, then I've screwed it up. 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.599 I like, yeah, whatever. So that was one of the 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.679 few ones where like I felt really confident in it. 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.240 Not that I knew that it was in the bag, 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.760 but I knew everybody in there. There's like a lot 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.760 of you know, there's like maybe six or seven rounds 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.520 of auditions, but it was one of those where I 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.839 was like, ah, this is kind of made for me. 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.599 Yeah, did they have you submit any videos of you 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:39.920 surfing or snowboarding? 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.600 Did you have to prove that at all? 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:45.559 That's kind of tough in LA to eat snowboard or sir? 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.160 So how did they do that section? 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:49.800 Only enough? 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.439 I don't think I ever had to submit anything. I 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.480 did audition with a cast that I broke jumping off 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:56.400 a jump snowboarding. 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.720 Okay, well right, and the director I was like an. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:05.959 Ex stunt guy who did right, He's like, what happened? 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.880 I was like, I broke it on the jump snowboarding, 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.760 and he's like, oh, that'll be done in like a month, 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.280 He'll be fine. And so he had all the confidence 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.040 in me. Maybe I brought him to skateboard and he 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.720 had me like skate around the room a little bit. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.319 But yeah, luckily I was able to believe me. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.400 Yeah he was. He was one of the biggest stunt 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.400 men in town at the time. I mean we were 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.640 looking at his resume and I mean he was doing everything. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:28.320 Yeah. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.000 Yeah, that was amazing. Okay, So when's the last time 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:32.240 you actually watched the movie? 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:41.120 Great question. Probably within the last few years.

I mean 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.600 maybe a couple of like runs like a day or 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.280 two before, but was in a boot camp. I don't know. 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.560 I don't know why they weren't concerned about that, or 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:35.760 I don't know why they trusted me. 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:43.040 But look, what was the cast like, you know, you've 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:47.560 got to shoot with Kirsten Storms, you got to shoot 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:48.600 with Lee Thomas Young. 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.120 Yeah, how was the relationship with the cast? 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.920 It's so fun to have a young cast that's predominantly 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.160 your age that you get to just get to know 0:16:58.480 --> 0:16:59.920 and have such great memories. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.320 What are memories like that for you? 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.159 I was like such a good cast. I mean, as 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.480 you guys know, sometimes you're you know, you're there's my 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.600 laundry is done? Sorry, yes, oh I love that. 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.360 Mine does the same thing. It's not the best. It's 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.600 nice your laundry is done. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:16.840 The past is really good. It was one of those films, 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:18.959 in one of those sets where we really just were 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:19.359 locked in. 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.800 And there are certain films where you are locked in 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.440 and like you see the end product and you're like, 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.520 oh wow, that really didn't translate. And other times where 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:29.960 like the cast isn't locked in and it actually turns 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:31.440 out to be like a good work of art. This 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.000 one was kind of a twofer. I think to that point. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.440 I had done it again in jungle Book, which was 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.480 like me on a green screen with a bunch of animals, 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.920 so there was no kids around. I'd done another TV 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.200 show where I had a bunch of brothers and sisters, 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.840 but they were all like, you know, sixteen, got their 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.560 ged so they're all like adults, and I'm like the 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.480 only kid you know in in the in the schoolroom, 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:53.800 I guess. 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:54.800 And so for this to have. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.080 Kirschen with me, to have Lee Thompson Young was so 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.200 much fun. I remember Lauren Hill. 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.359 This is gonna really as if I'm not old, but 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.480
