Speaker 1: long version.

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 4: Basically when it comes to like theater and singing, I

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: got into it pretty late, like in high school, like

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 4: ninth grade, freshman year, which is where feel like some

37
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: theater kids really get into it early, you know, and

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: like really commit to the bit.

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: But it's a lifelong bit for a lot.

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: But when I was growing up, my cousin, my older

41
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 4: cousin name is Catherine. She was always doing community theater

42
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 4: out on Long Island and she was in like a

43
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: production of Annie at least like once a year. You know.

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 4: We were always like as a kid, I was always

45
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: dragged to some theater to go see something that she

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 4: was in. And she was amazing. She was always good.

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 4: There's always home videos of her like singing, you know

48
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 4: what I mean, at all the parties and stuff. But

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: later on, so in high school, my younger siblings actually

50
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 4: I'm the oldest of four, so my younger siblings got

51
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 4: into the community theater where she was at. They were

52
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: doing production of I want to say it was Jesus

53
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: Christ Superstar, and they were like, hey, they need someone

54
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: to run the spotlight. You know, do you think you

55
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 4: can like just come and do that, And like me,

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 4: being like a freshman, like emo kid, you know what

57
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I was like, yeah, come in and you

58
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 4: know what I mean, just do this, like leave me alone.

59
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: I'll stand in the dark. And I I was listening

60
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: to the music a lot and like started to really

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: just kind of get into it. In time, I was

62
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: also really diving in to like the alternative like emo

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: rock and roll scene was like huge back then and

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: like you know, there were two thousands, so I was

65
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 4: super into that. So I started to kind of sing

66
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: that music at the same time that I started like

67
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 4: picking up theater and I realized that you could like

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: kind of marry them both, and so I started messing

69
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 4: around just like singing stuff. And then they tried to

70
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 4: get me in a show. Eventually, you know, they were like, hey,

71
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: we're doing the Wizard of Us, Like just stand in

72
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: the background and be a Winkie, you know, come and

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: be a call, come be a guard, and just stand

74
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: in the background. And I was like, all right, cool.

75
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 4: I had friends that were doing it at that time,

76
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: and I think my siblings were even doing it too, So.

77
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: I love that your younger siblings were like the ones

78
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: that accidentally got you into Yes.

79
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 4: Oh ye, yeah absolutely they they definitely It's the opposite

80
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: how siblings normally worked normally.

81
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: They saw all the oldest one.

82
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So it was a couple of days

83
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 4: into rehearsal couple and the guy who was playing the

84
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 4: tin man just like never showed up. Something happened. He

85
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: just like backed out, you know, community theater classic. He

86
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: was like never mind. So at the one point the

87
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: director turned to me and he was like, all right, you're

88
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 4: gonna be the Tiamma now, and it was like burn

89
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: And that was basically it. Man. From that moment on,

90
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: I got like thrown into the show and it was

91
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: my first role in my first thing, and I was

92
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 4: I was hooked. I was absolutely hooked, Like I couldn't

93
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: stop from there. So it was just then from there,

94
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: it was years of high school musical theater, community theater

95
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: doing like that NonStop and doing it all like working backstage,

96
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 4: like on stage, running sound. I was trying to just

97
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 4: learn it all. It was a new it was a

98
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: new outlet for me because I grew up playing sports

99
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 4: my whole life. You know, I got up playing sports.

100
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: My dad coached me and like everything, but I always

101
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: kind of wanted to do other stuff. I always felt

102
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 4: creative other than sports. I actually took break dancing at

103
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 4: like a young age.

104
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: Wow.

105
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I actually like went. It was like probably started

106
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 4: and then maybe like fifth grade and then went all

107
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 4: the way almost up until up unto high school, maybe

108
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: just before high school.

109
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: And they never had any breakdown did you break dance

110
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: only at all?

111
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 4: Actually? I was like I was watching it back actually

112
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: because I was like I have to yeah movies. It

113
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: was I think it's we did rather be? And at

114
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: what point do you want to do something? And I

115
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 4: was like, I'm going to do a backflip off this

116
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 4: riser and they were like yeah for sure, which like

117
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 4: I learned, I learned like early on not to volunteer

118
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 4: yourself for stuff that's ridiculous because it's going to have

119
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 4: you do it like over and over again. After I

120
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: did the backflip, because like at the last shot, they

121
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: were like, all right, do you think you have one

122
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 4: more in you? And I was like, god, I hope

123
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 4: so you know. Yeah, they used actually motion shot of

124
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: me doing like a backflip off the riser, like over

125
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: the camera. It's really cool, but like it was crazy.

126
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 4: And then I do a little bit of breakdancing, but

127
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 4: it's not you know, I'm not like by any means professional.

128
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: There was like you were definitely better than the rest

129
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: of it, so.

130
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: They had me do that. That's kind of where I

131
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 4: got like my rhythm from, I think too, you know

132
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: what I mean, always into like hip hop music as

133
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 4: well growing up, So I was grateful to have break

134
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 4: dancing under my belt, I think too.

135
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: So you're doing double duty, Like were you doing community

136
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: theater and doing theater in high school at the same time.

137
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: You know, I was doing so much community theater that

138
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 4: I didn't really have a lot of time to commit

139
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: to the high school. I was doing like three shows

140
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 4: at a time. You're in the children's student show, and

141
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 4: you're during the main stage show and maybe the team

142
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: programs going to you know. So it was just like

143
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 4: it was just I was doing so much of it,

144
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 4: you know, and yet the I just felt so welcomed

145
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: by the theater community immediately, you know, as you do.

146
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 4: So I realized, first of all. It shook me, you know,

147
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 4: again a kid growing up in the early two thousands,

148
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: I realized how like ignorant I was growing up. You know,

149
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: the things that you're taught as a age boy. You know,

150
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: we're idiots, you idiot things, the phrases, the things that

151
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 4: we grew up saying. Obviously we were all you know

152
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of terrible things, a lot

153
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 4: of politically incorrect things that you know, people are still

154
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 4: saying and bringing around these days. But it really it

155
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 4: shook me, you know what I mean, And like it's

156
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 4: so crazy that people can't just have that moment where

157
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, oops, I was doing this wrong the

158
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: whole time now, or you know what I mean, you're

159
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,920

Speaker 4: were nothing but loving and just just it was It

168
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: was so it was so eye opening for me that

169
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: I really I I had no choice put to fall

170
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: into it so far it was so to commit, like

171
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: kind of what gave to me, you know what I

172
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 4: mean immediately, you know? So, yeah, so I had I

173
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 4: was doing so much community theater. I did a couple

174
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 4: of the high school shows. We did like Blame Mis

175
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: and we did The Whiz. I got to play the Lion,

176
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: which is like, if there's videos of that, I would

177
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 4: be mortified somewhere. You know, anything goes. Was my senior year,

178
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: so I got to play Billy Crocker, Oh my fat.

179
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: I did the very first production, a high school production

180
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: of lay Min's. So Cameron McIntosh came to our show

181
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: because who was like the big producer on the show,

182
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 3: because we worked on the high school version, so we

183
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: workshopped the high school version, so the version that you

184
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: did was created or molded by our cast, which was.

185
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: That's crazy, that's crazy.

186
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: Who are you?

187
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: I was just an the ensemble.

188
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: I was a freshman and we were originally going to

189
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: do The Baker's Wife that year, so I got cast

190
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: as one of the sisters in the Baker's Wife, and

191
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 3: then I got demoted to ensemble and I was young

192
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: Eponine's understudy.

193
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: Which we know that young Ethnen doesn't.

194
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: Do no poor girl poor.

195
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, so I was.

196
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 3: But but it was a big thing because freshmen weren't

197
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 3: cast in musicals in high school.

198
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: But you had already been away.

199
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it doesn't matter that it was a high

200
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: performer of high school and everybody to take it very years. Okay,

201
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 3: so freshmen didn't get cast, and there were quite a

202
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: few freshmen that got cast.

203
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 4: That year or so. I'm sure you had eyes on you.

204
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly like the fresh I'm sorry I interrupted you.

205
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: So anything goes that's a good one.

206
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a fun one. I want to They

207
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 4: called what a Teeny Award is like the Tony Awards

208
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 4: out on Long Island for amazed. I think I don't

209
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: know if it was a NASA thing or a Suffolk thing,

210
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: but you know, I yeah, so I was. And then

211
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 4: I went to actually after high school, I still wasn't

212
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 4: sure what to do, you know what I mean, I

213
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: didn't know. I also wanted to teach kids. I love kids.

214
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: I love children. I was like, maybe like kindergarten, you

215
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 4: know what I mean, would be a lot of fun

216
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 4: to do as well. I took a all education course

217
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: when I was like just at my senior year and

218
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 4: we got to like do a preschool class where they

219
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 4: bring the kids in during the day, and I just

220
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: was obsessed. I loved it. I thought it was so

221
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 4: that was kind of on my mind too. And then

222
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 4: I had a lot of friends who were just leaving

223
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 4: the community theater thing and trying to pursue the thing

224
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 4: in New York, and I was like, you know what,

225
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 4: like when when am I going to do it? You know,

226
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: I was. I was at I was at community college

227
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 4: for a semester out here, and I just wasn't feeling it.

228
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 4: It was just an acting program, and I wanted to

229
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 4: do more musical stuff, you know. I wanted to do

230
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: the thing. I was also trying to audition in the

231
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 4: city at the time as well. All right, let me

232
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 4: see if I could get any of these shows and

233
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: of these tours, you know what I mean. And I

234
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 4: would get a call backs, but I would all get cut

235
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 4: at the dance calls, you know, while you know, like

236
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 4: they're looking for dancers, you know what I mean. It

237
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 4: was it was hard there. So I was like, realistically,

238
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 4: I have to get myself trained dance wise for me

239
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 4: to keep up with everyone. So my mom had mentioned

240
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: AMDA because we knew a couple of people who went

241
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 4: through there, and I was like, you know what, let

242
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 4: me just let me just check it out. And I

243
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 4: and I auditioned for AMDA and that was that was it.

244
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: And you know ervatory. So the program is it runs

245
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 4: in trimesters too, so it's real tight. It's real quick.

246
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, camp for theater, you know, and you

247
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 4: don't do it's just theater, you know, you don't the studies.

248
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: The liberal arts, none of that.

249
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, so it was it was it was I

250
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 4: got my butt kicked. I was in ballet, I was

251
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: in tap, I was in jazz, I was in dance belt,

252
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like, you know, it really

253
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: hipped my butt, But it was it was important, you know,

254
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 4: it was really important for me to get the proper

255
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: training for that so I could feel confident, you know

256
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 4: what I mean with the triple threat that the industry

257
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 4: demands of you. You know what I mean, yeah, you

258
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 4: know it. And it just kept getting more and more intense,

259
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 4: as it does every musical. The notes get higher and

260
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 4: the dancing gets more insane. And you know when I

261
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 4: was at school the time too, newsies had like just

262
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 4: come out to Yeah, the word dancer changed in the audition. Yeah,

263
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 4: the word dancer changed when newsies came around because they

264
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 4: were like, oh, are you a dancer, and you had

265
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 4: to specify immediately. I would say, I'm a mover. I

266
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 4: move well, I have rhythm, but don't bring you dance

267
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 4: because if they called you to a dance call, like

268
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 4: I did one time they called me in for like

269
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: Tuck Everlasting, right when they're oh yeah, it was like

270
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: me and like seventeen of the newsies and they're like

271
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: doing like across the floor, yeah, weeping routines.

272
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

273
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: And I was like, yes, like I'm trying to like

274
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: I moved to LA and got a dance agent, yeah,

275
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: and showed up to one audition and I was like, oh, oh,

276
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 2: never mind, I uh, I take it back, never mind

277
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 2: never mind.

278
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, so you had to you had to be

279
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 4: cut a specific you know.

280
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

281
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: So it was it was interesting that honestly having Glee

282
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 4: on at the same time. I was thinking about this

283
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 4: before too, because you know, I was in high school

284
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: when Glee came out, so I'm doing you guys, are

285
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Doing the thing? So it

286
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: was it was such a huge, huge cultural thing, especially

287
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: for like theater kids. It was it was bigger than

288
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 4: big and it brought it mainstream and.

289
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 2: Did you watch it?

290
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 4: I watched the like the first couple of seasons, and

291
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: then I think I fell off. Actually I had like

292
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 4: when we when we most people it, you know, I

293
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: think I think I was like, Okay, it's just as

294
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: it is. I think I fell off, But then I

295
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 4: tried to jump back on. When I got cast, was

296
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 4: like I got to do my homework now, you gotta know, yeah,

297
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 4: going on, and I think I actually started to just

298
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 4: try to pick up where I left off, and I

299
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 4: was like, there's so much going on. And then I

300
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: was like I was like character choice, I'm a new kid.

301
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 4: He wouldn't know any of this. Yeah, and it works,

302
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 4: you know, here we are the new kids, you know.

303
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think I think having Glee around the industry,

304
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 4: the Broadway industry was also changing at the same time

305
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 4: to like going from the like classical you know, pieces

306
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: of theater and like doing the more modern like pop

307
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 4: rock stuff, temporary stuff, and Glee. Really I just feel

308
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 4: like it really brought that to the audience in you know.

309
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: The theater helped bridge the gap.

310
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 4: I think so, I really do, because when I was

311
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: at AMDA, actually they like I had a teacher who

312
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 4: like fought us on not wanting to teach us pop songs,

313
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 4: Like they didn't think it was necessary to learn how

314
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: to act and do pop songs because that wasn't that

315
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 4: big at the and we're just talking fifteen years or so,

316
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: like it was just before this kind of like flip

317
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: where everything they were like okay with making things contemporary,

318
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 4: but the old dinosaurs we're still holding on, you.

319
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.

320
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 4: While I'm like I get that you don't want to

321
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 4: teach us this, but every call now is like bring

322
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 4: up a pop rock yeah you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah,

323
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 4: just this whether you want to or not. You know,

324
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 4: like it was, it was a big thing, but I

325
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 4: think Glee really kind of milded the two things together,

326
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 4: you know, really opened that up and made sense of

327
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 4: bringing like a modern way of just like speaking and

328
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: interacting on stage even to you know, the theater audience.

329
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: You know, was your experience at AMBDA anything like the

330
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: I guess like the Glee version like the Glee world.

331
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: Like you went to school, Jenna, you went to a

332
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: music and performing arts high school. Were those things similar

333
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: to like I guess us doing show choir on Glee

334
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: in anyway?

335
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 4: Okay, so, Jenna, I don't know for you, but like

336
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 4: we didn't. I didn't do like the show choiry thing,

337
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 4: but I know other schools that did the show choir stuff.

338
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 4: I still go to, Like my my girlfriend's nieces and

339
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: nephews are in like the productions, the show choir stuff

340
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: that they do the Glee you know, productions that they

341
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: do at their school or whatever it is, and they'll

342
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 4: come out and they'll perform. They do the whole thing.

343
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 4: It's so funny to watch, you know what I mean.

344
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 4: You come out in the costumes and do like three

345
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: songs back to back, and I'm like, where's the cream

346
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 4: camera coming?

347
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: Where you only have to do each of these songs once?

348
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 4: Whatever? No? Well, yeah, no, exactly, exactly.

349
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

350
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: Are you talking about like Niata Kevin? Are you talking

351
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: about like this like.

352
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: The mentality of like you know, the Rachel Mary's and

353
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: all the kids and like familiar I mean, obviously like

354
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: the high schools are different, but in the schooling is different.

355
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: But Ama and Marymount and the whole thing was like

356
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 3: you have to eat, sleep, breathe this and if you

357
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: don't do something else, that's like that was the mindset

358
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: that we were told, Like truly, there's something else you

359
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 3: can do, go do it, because there's other people.

360
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: Who are like there's nothing else.

361
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 3: In the world that I want to do, like Rachel Barry,

362
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, yeah, the sentiment was very similar.

363
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 4: It was it was almost militaristic in that way, you

364
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like especially like at AMDA, Like

365
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 4: I don't know how the program is now, but like

366
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 4: they have you line up world dressed in our black

367
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 4: you know, like leotards and like out dance outlets, and

368
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 4: we have to like stand in line and we step

369
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 4: out almost like like a sound of music style of

370
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 4: the kids like and then you step back in line

371
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 4: and then they give you notes on how you step

372
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 4: out and say your name and they're like, oh you

373
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 4: you you went up at the end of your name,

374
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 4: like you know what I mean. Like it was like

375
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 4: they like picked you apart, you know what I mean.

376
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 4: Like it was it was. It was pretty intense.

377
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: Man, I could probably some of that training.

378
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: Now they really bring it in, you know, they like

379
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 4: you know, like just so you know, if you're not

380
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 4: serious about this, like you said, like there are there

381
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 4: are one hundred other kids.

382
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: Yes, you're all here.

383
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 4: You see them in the hall. So if you're not

Speaker 2: You know, being hungry, stay hungry.

386
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. It was intense, man. Actually it was one of

387

00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 4: So I'm in the city. I had been in and out.

410
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 4: I was doing like tours in and out of the city, like,

411
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 4: so I was coming and going. And then the last

412
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 4: season was coming around, and I think they switched casting

413
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 4: they switched casting companies. I think the last season. I

414
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 4: feel like that's what I was old. So they were like,

415
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 4: we're putting everyone you know on tape again. We're just

416
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 4: like redoing the thing. We just want to get some

417
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 4: new faces. I remember like reading lines with my friends

418
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 4: who were also being called in. I thought, yeah, throwing

419
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 4: the dragnet out just for you know what I mean?

420
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, purposes.

421
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 4: So I went into Telsea and and saying, and they

422
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 4: like put me on camera, you know, as they do.

423
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 4: And it was just a quick little thing and I

424
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 4: didn't really think anything of it. And then like a

425
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 4: couple of weeks went by and I got an email

426
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 4: and they were like, hey, they're like interested in you

427
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 4: for this new season. They're going to fly you out

428
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 4: and do a screen test. With you, and I was like,

429
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 4: what hell.

430
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, zero to one hundred, you know,

431
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: had you ever done TV at this point?

432
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 4: Never? Never? Never? Even before even after that, I still

433
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,800

434
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 4: to the whole, the whole situation. In the back of it,

435
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 4: I'm like, what the actual hell happened? You know, like, yeah, crazy.

Speaker 4: this kid. I don't know who he is, so but

500
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 4: I was like sitting there in the room on the

501
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 4: chair and I could hear him. I can't remember what

502
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 4: the song was, but I heard him singing the song

503
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 4: and I was like, Oh, I'm going to book this

504
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 4: because it was just us, you know what I mean.

505
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 3: So I was like, yeah, I'm.

506
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 4: Gonna Oh, I'm you know, I felt, Yeah, that's amazing.

507
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 4: I bring what they're looking for, you know, like.

508
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: You just now some of them you don't, you know really.

509
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean? Sometimes in there like

510
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 4: there's no one else you're going to get who's going

511
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 4: to do this, Like I can you know. But I

512
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 4: just knew in that moment between me and him, I

513
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 4: was like, Oh, this is this might actually.

514
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: Happen, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

515
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 4: And then I went home and I think I had realized.

516
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: I think I was already talking to Laura about it

517
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 4: because Laura and I were friends before this. We were

518
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 4: on the hair tour together. Oh, I known each other

519
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 4: before this for years, you know, So we had been

520
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 4: talking that we were going back and forth, and then yeah,

521
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 4: when we got cast we like message each other, and

522
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 4: you know, the casting doesn't know that we know each other,

523
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 4: but they don't even understand what they just did for themselves,

524
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 4: you know, because we were already friends.

525
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: So amazing built in chemistry exactly because you never had

526
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: to do any chemistry read.

527
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 4: No, no, literally no no. That's the thing too, is

528
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 4: that they cast us as twins without having us in

529
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 4: the room together, you know what I mean, Like that's

530
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 4: that's wild.

531
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 3: It worked out though, because you guys obviously had that

532
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 3: you know history, like.

533
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,239
Speaker 2: From your very first scene six, you guys are just

534
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 2: like that. It was.

535
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 4: It was a lot of fun. It was a lot

536
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 4: and very different obviously from like I'm like a like

537
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 4: dirty like rock and roll hippie, So like playing a

538
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 4: cheerleader was like, uh, you know what I mean, like

539
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 4: a different you know way of being for I remember,

540
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: I would have to say before we would started rolling

541
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 4: all the time, like smiling is my favorite, so I

542
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 4: could get this here, you know, which I definitely.

543
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: That was such a good way.

544
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 4: And it makes you smile when you say it smiles

545
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 4: my favorite, and it's all you are, you know, But

546
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: like sometimes it was hard, you know, to go from

547
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 4: like chilling, like all right, like put it on and

548
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 4: you're like you're like, wa, get up, like.

549
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: A good slap across the face, you.

550
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, oh my god?

551
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: What was it like that?

552
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: And coming into the show having never been on TV

553
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: before as the new class, new new class, Like, what

554
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 3: was that like for you?

555
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: Because we had beca you know. Becca admitted that she

556
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: had never even auditioned for TV before before Glee, and

557
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: when she first showed up on set, they were like, okay,

558
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: you just go stand on your mark, and she had

559
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: no idea what that meant. And so she was just

560
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: like faking it completely and we had no idea that's it.

561
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 4: And of course she would she just is.

562
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: Like yeah, exactly, Yeah, So what was that like for you?

563
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 4: Same thing, all the all the terms that are being

564
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 4: thrown out there. For like the first couple of weeks,

565
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 4: I was like, who is Annabelle? I must be the

566
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 4: hardest working woman in show business? Like Annabelle who I

567
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 4: don't know? Someone go find her. They're looking for her,

568
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?

569
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: Like for those of you who don't know, they would

570
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: somebody would shout on a bell about three different words,

571
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: because they would you would literally hear a little bell

572
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: ring and then a red light would go on, so

573
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: like outside the stage, so they knew we were filming.

574
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 4: Keep your mouth shut, we're on a we're on a.

575
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: Bet film is being wasted. Let's go so good.

576
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 4: Oh so yeah, like literally little things like that. I'm

577
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 4: just learning. I'm learning, you know what I mean? Yeah,

578
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 4: And had I had no idea the amount of time

579
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 4: that went into all of it, to the setups for

580
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 4: the lights, just like literally the in between and then

581
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 4: like moving the setups and changing everything. And I just

582
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 4: didn't know how much actual time went into it all, you.

583
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: Know, like really how much time you would be there?

584
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 4: Oh oh yeah. And we were the new kids, so

585
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,080

00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 4: you just get here and.

587
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,640

594
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 4: people around here, obviously they're used to like the movie lot,

595
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,639

Speaker 2: and nobody else is filming on the lot that late.

599
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 2: Like we were always the latest show showing.

600
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,680

Speaker 4: The middle of the night. Yeah, it was. It was nuts.

604
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 4: It was. It was things like that that. It was

605
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 4: just like, man, the ins and outs of how they

606
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 4: have to move around doing the daytime the nighttime, getting

607
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 4: everyone's schedules to line up where we need to be

608
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 4: on site, are we not? You know? It was just

609
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 4: it was so much like and I'm just learning also

610
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 4: like etiquette, where to go, what to do. On first

611
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 4: days on set, I had like my guitar with me

612
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 4: and it was like lunchtime and I was like jamming

613
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 4: out my guitar like and then we got out and

614
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: one of the like eighties was like, hey, just so

615
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 4: you know, like you don't play your guitar during lunch

616
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 4: because I was trying to sleep in the trailer next

617
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 4: year and I was like whoa. I was like, oh

618
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 4: my god, I'm so sorry, like literally no, never again. Never,

619
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 4: you know what I mean like I was like learning

620
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: the ins and outs again. New kids here, man, I'm

621
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 4: not trying to annoying.

622
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: Or it's the complete opposite of like the theater. It's

623
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: the complete opposite. Like obviously you're performing, but theater is

624
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,680

Speaker 4: song and they'd be like, all right, cut and it's

630
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,240

631
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,959

632
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,680

640
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: That was weird?

641
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 4: That was weird. It's still weird, you know, to see

642
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 4: the shops and stuff, to see it back. Yeah, it

643
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 4: was wild. It was definitely wild. I remember like not

644
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 4: knowing what to expect.

645
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure, like, how can you even conceptualize what that's

646
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: going to be?

647
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like what does this mean as a person,

651
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 4: it's always hard. Some people enjoy watching themselves.

652
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: Back, but you know, it's terrible.

653
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 4: I realized now that I should have jumped behind the

654
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 4: screen and watched all of the shots back after we

655
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,400

702
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,520

703
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 4: joined like people, so I've had that experience before this

704
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 4: as well, like coming in learning your role that'sah thrown in.

705
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 4: That's how I got thrown into the hair tour. And

706
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 4: they had been out for a year. They had been

707
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 4: on Broadway and they went to London and came back again.

708
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 4: You have all these you know, experiences that you're just like,

709
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to like add to it, you know,

710
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: so that like I'm neutral and I appreciate being here,

711
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 4: you know what i mean, Like I'm not trying to inquire,

712
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 4: like you know, be you know whatever. It is, Like

713
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 4: the energy is specific and you're you're aware of it.

714
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: You can just feel you know what I mean, Like

715
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: you really can't. Yeah, it's just I feel bad that

716
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: you guys were And one hand, it's like I feel

717
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 2: really bad that you guys came into that because you

718
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: can feel it, and it is just like I wish

719
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 2: we were at a place to probably be more like

720
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 2: welcoming and like gung ho like you guys. But on

721
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: the other hand, that's also why it was so important

722
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: that you guys were there, because there's a large crew

723
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: and it's like everybody is sort of feeling like, you know,

724
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: we're coming to an end, but you were probably the

725
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: biggest motivating factor on that set every single day, and

726
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: so I remember being around you being like, Okay, yeah,

727
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: I'm still here, Like let me just like pick it

728
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: up a little bit because you guys are. And so

729
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: it's very very helpful and I think necessary for all

730
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: of us to get through it that you guys were

731
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 2: all there. And it's so nice. Everybody was so nice

732
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: and so respectful and it was very rare. But you know,

733
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: there'd be a couple of times where people would come

734
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: on and they like were just trying really hard to like,

735
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, take up space you guys did the opposite.

736
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 2: But now it makes sense because you're also experienced in

737
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: that way. Yeah, because you had been in similar situations that.

738
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 3: You knew respectful, right, Yes, it was respect that's it.

739
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. One of the costumers thanked me for hanging up

740
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 4: my clothes, you know what I mean, like after filming,

741
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 4: and I was like, well, I would get fined, equity would.

742
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: Find exactly you know what the theater kids are like.

743
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 4: Exactly you know. So it was energy was interesting.

744
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: But I also found out who was not hanging their

745
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: clothes because I remember getting thanked about it, and I

746
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: was like, who was not hanging up their clothes?

747
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: I could tell you.

748
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 4: Later.

749
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: It's like love you lie or tell him You'll never

750
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: nobody will ever know.

751
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, text me later.

752
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, gosh.

753
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

754
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,959
Speaker 4: I want to say though that you two especially were

755
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 4: so lovely and welcoming. Never never felt good.

756
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 2: You never know.

757
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 4: And I think a big thing. I just like love

758
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 4: watching like people and dynamics and you know what I mean,

759
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 4: like in places. So when you come in, like you said,

760
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 4: there is a big crew. The crew is a big

761
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 4: part of the show. It's it's it's just as big

762
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 4: as the cast. But people don't know the crew. Don't

763
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 4: you know the cast, but the crew knows the cast,

764
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 4: so to see you can see the energy shift when

765
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 4: people came up and who loved loved are you kidding me?

766

Speaker 4: with you, you know what I mean.

788
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 2: Like it's true you're the first person to bring this

789
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: perspective up, and you're completely right, you know.

790
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, again, the dynamic that you guys had created was

791
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 4: apparent all around, you know what I mean. Watching that

792
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 4: and just kind of seeing how everyone interacted with each other,

793
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 4: that was just my way of being, like, that's who

794
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 4: I want to make sure I hang out with while.

795
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm here right right, the crew.

796
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 4: Welcomes and who you can that's the that I want

797
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 4: to bring and be around. You know, well, that's very nice.

798
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: Thank you for saying that, because yes, I think like

799
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 3: it was so easy to lose the steam and lose

800
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 3: the appreciation for what we were doing because we were

801
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 3: just so deep in it. And like one of the

802
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 3: important things that I think we both walk away from

803
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 3: is like making people feel welcome on a set and

804
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 3: also like knowing your crew's names, knowing who they are,

805
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 3: making them feel as important as they are on a show.

806
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 6: You know, you they know everything about you know when

807
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 6: you know you know what I mean, they are so

808
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 6: crucial and they're there for so long, much longer than

809
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 6: us sometimes and like it's just so important no always

810
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 6: like and and just they're so good at what they

811
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 6: do and they are so professional, and like I think

812
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 6: professional can also come in different forms of them being

813
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 6: like oh, we don't talk to this actor or we

814
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 6: don't do this, and I'm like, well, like we're all

815
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 6: eagles here, you.

816
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 3: Know what I mean, Like nobody's better than anybody else.

817
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,959
Speaker 3: Nobody's job is more important than anybody else. Like we're

818
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 3: just all here to do the same thing.

819
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 2: And they looked out for us and they took care.

820
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 1: Of us always, yeah, especially when so young. So I'm

821
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: so lady to hear.

822
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 2: You say that they loved you guys too, though, I

823
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 2: because you know, we would text with certain people and

824
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 2: the crew because we weren't there every single day, and

825
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, these new kids are good. Yeah, Like

826
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 2: there was something about by the way, we told Noah

827
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: this too, like we you know, like sort of get

828
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 2: advised by the fans about like what do we have

829
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: to look to? Yah and unanimous everybody loves like the

830
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: new season six new cast.

831
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 4: Like nice, yeah, that's nice. Again. It's it's hard to join,

832
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 4: you know, a fandom at the end of the fandom,

833
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 4: you know, like it's hard to I have my shows

834
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 4: that I watched that I'm like, who did they add

835
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 4: this last? Right? Totally you come in here and thinking

836
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 4: you're a part of the office cast, I don't.

837
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 2: Think, yeah, you know, like watching you come in, but

838
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 2: especially because like some of you had never done TV,

839
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: you all feel so settled and like confident. There was

840
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: like a real confidence from the very first moment you

841
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: guys are on screen, and it's palpable, and it like

842
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: it makes us as a viewer because I remember nothing

843
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 2: from this season like it makes and I feel like

844
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 2: I'm watching it for the first time, where yeah, that

845
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 2: it makes like you have to give your audience that

846
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: security of like we know what we're doing, like you

847
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: can relax, no, and you do that and which is

848
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: what you do in theater. And so it's it's nice

849
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 2: that from the moment like you and Laura are on

850
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 2: screen and yapping away at each other and having that

851
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 2: like comedic timing, and then when you start singing and

852
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 2: you're like like, oh, they it feels like they've been

853
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 2: doing this for five seasons before this.

854
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 4: Wow, thank you you guys. Set a blueprint, you know

855
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like the everything was kind of there,

856
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 4: almost given for you, so you just have to wiggle

857
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 4: your way into this already created you know process. Just

858
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 4: pull out your bag of tools and make sure paying attention,

859
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 4: you know, and and and they wouldn't do obviously if

860
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 4: you weren't good, So just do what you do. Yeah, yeah,

861
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 4: it was a lot again, it was a lot of learning.

862
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 4: Still I'm figuring out. Like they would come up to

863
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 4: me for some scenes and like maquing uh for like

864
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 4: DP would come out and he'd be like just turn

865
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 4: your head, like the littlest bit y light is hating you,

866
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 4: like here and we need it. And I'm like, oh, okay,

867
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 4: so now I'm trying to be aware of like where

868
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh yeah. Yeah.

869
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: He would tell us that too. Until the last day

870
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: we were all like not doing what we were supposed

871
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: to do.

872
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 5: Also, the vocal coaches the addiction like yah and yeah,

873
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 5: oh my god, they hated me. Oh my god, they

874
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 5: hated me, absolutely hate that.

875
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 2: Soging is harder than people think it is.

876
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 4: It really is. Because you think all you you know,

877
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, I'll just sing and you're like no,

878
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 4: because the way your mouth forms notes isn't how it

879
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 4: looks like you are supposed to speak sometimes like you

880
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 4: really enunciate. Yeah, watching they'd be behind the camera like

881
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 4: you know, like try and try it so hard to

882
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 4: get like get things out.

883
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: You know, You're like, I don't have to live syn.

884
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 2: I'm from the theater and I know how to.

885
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 1: Do this live, like lady, at least I'm singing.

886
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 2: We would just watch you do the Will You Love

887
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: Me Tomorrow? And head over Feet.

888
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so good.

889
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 2: It is so good because I was a little upset

890
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: we didn't get to hear you sing too much before that,

891
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,439
Speaker 2: and then you really sang on that and I was like, yes,

892
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 2: that voice is stupid, Billy.

893
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Thank you, think again. I'm just trying

894
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 4: to keep up. Man. That's it.

895
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 3: No, do you have any other favorite numbers that you

896
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: guys did on the show, or like anything memorable so much?

00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just crazy.

Speaker 2: I think that's why I don't read remember of season six,

1000
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 2: because my brain was just friede of course I didn't

Speaker 2: know what was happening. I do remember, you know what's interesting.

1002
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 2: I don't remember what we filmed, but I remember like

00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 2: my relationships with you guys. Yeah, yeah, I remember the

1004
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 2: feeling of like that. Yeah, and like we watched an

00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 2: I feel like I was around you all the time.

1009
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 2: And I don't know because I'm not in every episode,

1010
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 2: but I like the feeling of season six to me

1011
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 2: is obviously the very end.

1012
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's ken there a lot.

1013

1015
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 4: Like we all were like yeah here, like we like

00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 4: talk like yeah.

1018
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 2: Because I would also be like, Okay, tell me what's up,

1022
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 3: text me and tell me what was going on. Un said,

1023
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,200

1024
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 3: I don't.

1025
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: Know who that is. I've never met them before.

1026
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: I mean, because it was sort of our way, like

1027
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 2: we learned, you know, to like protect ourselves because like

1028
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 2: they don't tell you much like what you're doing before

1029
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,959
Speaker 2: you're doing it. And so the little like gossip chain

1030
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 2: in a respectful way was very helpful. It was very calming, yes,

1031
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 2: and so like.

1032
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, they want to catch you off guard, right, that's

1033
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 4: the thing that they love about, Like out in Hollywood.

1034
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 4: They're like, We're going to kind of give it to

1035
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 4: them fresh so we can see if we can get

1036
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 4: a good.

1037
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 2: Shot out of this.

1038
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't like to tell you to give you

1039
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 4: the script.

1040
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 2: That morning or I was never trying to play that.

1041
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 2: I want to give everybody enough time to mentally prepare

1042
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 2: ye physically and emotionally for what we're doing. What does

1043
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 2: tomorrow look like for us?

1044
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,000

00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 4: first our first day on set for me and Laura

1046
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,799

1047
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 4: girls out in the field at the school. I was like,

1048

Speaker 4: the room, the course room for the first time, and

1052
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,720

1053
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 4: we had never said hi to anyone before then, so

1054
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 4: we did those lines and all that stuff, all those

1055
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 4: reactions of everyone watching like me and Laura like say

Speaker 1: The biggest show in television. Let me just call them up. Yeah,

1123
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: So I had been.

1124
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 4: Pushing it out of my my brain and my body

1125
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 4: like my entire like theater career, so that by the

1126
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 4: time it's around, it was just so.

1127
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: Crazy to me.

1128
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

1129
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 4: It was huge watching, you know, I did. I was

1130
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,439
Speaker 4: sports and theater and was like in between and was like, oh,

1131
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 4: you know, you know you're not hanging out with us

1132
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 4: that much anymore because you know what I mean, like

1133
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 4: straight up like the cliche guy theater thing now. So

1134
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 4: to watch the characters back the main you know, storyline

1135
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 4: from the beginning of him coming in and being like

1136
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 4: I immediately was like, oh that yeah, and that's that's me.

1137
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 4: I relate to that, you know, like crazy. It had

1138
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 4: a part. It always had a part. Even if I

1139
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 4: didn't watch it, it was I was aware of it

1140
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 4: and what it meant to me as like, uh, a

1141
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 4: straight white performer. Yeah, yeah, so it was. It was.

1142
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 4: It was a lot, man, And again, I know, you

1143
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 4: guys had been through so much, so it was just

1144
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 4: I didn't want to come there and not take it seriously.

1145
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 4: I think that's what we all, you know what I mean,

1146
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 4: And we were just like, let's just make sure that

1147
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 4: we do this justice, yeah, and support you know, a

1148
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 4: lot of the days you're not even saying anything too.

1149
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 4: You're on set and you don't know those.

1150
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 2: We know those you're.

1151
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 4: Just sitting there and you're just like hanging out. But

1152
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 4: you know, you're like, man, I was nice though. I

1153
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 4: was happy to be there. You know, it's happy to

1154
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 4: be for these things because some of these things, some

1155
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 4: of these moments, I mean, all of these moments will

1156
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 4: never have again. But the the oh my gosh, the

1157
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 4: literally chills thinking about it that I know where I've

1158
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 4: been episode I was. I can't express and explain the

Speaker 4: energy in the room that day, you know what I mean.

1160
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 4: Like I remember just like crying after every take. You know,

1161
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 4: like it was just like so unbelievable. This just the

1162
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 4: energy and and and the love, and it was just

1163
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 4: where that you're like a part of something much bigger

1164
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 4: than yourself. If you're having a bad day, or if

1165
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 4: you're having a bad ego day or whatever it is,

1166
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 4: it's like when they shut the lights off and the

1167
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 4: camera starts rolling, you're like, I don't really think about

1182
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,360

00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 4: she does next, she's gonna nail it.

1184
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: That's it.

1185
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 3: It was like professional and yet like just beyond your expectations,

1186
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 3: like the delivery itself too. You're like, I even if

1187
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 3: she would like we would all like joke around, but

1188
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:20,320
Speaker 3: as soon as this camera.

1189
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: Started rolling, like it would always get done.

1190
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1191
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 3: The crew revered her like yeah, yes, well it was

1192
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 3: yeah something We could literally talk to you for hours,

1193
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 3: but before we let you go, we have.

1194
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: To ask you, what is the feeling that Lee leaves

1195
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: you with?

1196
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 4: Wow? The biggest again The biggest thing for me to

1197
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 4: take away was the fans after the show, how much

1198
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 4: this show means to people still the same way I

1199
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 4: fell into theater because I felt it was such like

1200
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 4: a welcoming place, you know what I mean. It ever

1201
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 4: place everyone has, you know, is welcomed. It's it's a

1202
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 4: place for misfits alike, you know. So I think the

1203
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 4: show really opened up a door to show, like, hey,

1204
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 4: doors are open, man, you know, like everyone could come

1205
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 4: in here, whoever you are. You could be a part

1206
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,959
Speaker 4: of the club, and you can express yourself however you want,

1207
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 4: you know, being over at those conventions and just like

1208
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 4: seeing the kids with Glee tattoos and you know, like

1209
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 4: and it's just it's just it attracts a lot of

1210
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 4: people who have had like some hard pasts too, you know,

1211
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 4: so it really opens up a path for people to

1212
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 4: feel like they're being seen in a way that they

1213
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 4: haven't been seen before or heard. So you hear a

1214
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 4: lot of stories too, of some really like really messed

1215
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 4: up stuff that people have gone through, but the show

1216
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 4: and the characters like really brought them out of that

1217
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 4: dark place and they go back, you know what I mean.

1218
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 4: Day week after we have that happy place, you know,
