We probably filmed it 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:17.639 in two thousand and two. 0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:19.479 Why and we actually shot it.

He was a sailor 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.800 in the fleet week episode called Anchors Away, which did 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:44.800 air in two thousand and two but filmed in two 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:46.800 thousand and one. So take me back, tell me about 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:48.520 the Let's talk about nine to eleven first. 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.840 Yeah, yeah, I mean, well, you know, I mean for anybody, 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.000 any New Yorkers, right, we know what it felt like 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.880 and it wasn't obviously it was sad and tragic and scary, 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.520 but it was it was also beautiful. Remember that. Yeah, 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.520 Like there was sense of like we're all in this together. 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:07.040 People were friendlier, more helpful, kinder. It was like a 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.880 beautiful time to be in New York. Yeah. In fact, 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.520 I was in LA the day it happened. All my 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.280 LA friends were like, oh, thank god you weren't there, 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.440 and I was like, no, I feel weird. I should 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.560 be there. Absolutely, not like I can do anything, but 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.800 just like like it's like, my I have a sick 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:21.639 relative in the hospital. 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.680 I should visit, right, So how did you get back? 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:24.680 What were you? 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.920 So? I had just Yeah, I had just been I 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.200 had just actually moved to LA. I had let my 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.640 apartment in New York go and I got an offer 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:33.959 to do a Broadway show and I turned it down. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:35.640 I was like, no, I've committed to LA for now. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.959 I'm going to stick with this. Two days later, September eleventh, 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.120 Oh no, So I called back and said, is the 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.080 job still available? I want to come home? So I did. 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:43.280 Was it? 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:44.319 So? It was the Lion King. 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.600 Oh my god, amazing you were in the Lion care 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.720 one of my most favorite life is. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.320 It's so great. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.600 It was fun. It was I mean, that's that's a 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.680 whole other experience to talk about. Actually, story from our 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:01.760 episode that I'll share with. 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.640 Oh listen, I need all the funny stories from this episode. 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.160 I just remember this episode. 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:08.760 I had forgotten that it was the first one back, 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.720 but that makes perfect sense because I think that we 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:17.200 as a production really felt so strongly obviously we love 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.120 the city, as we all know, it's the fifth character, 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.240 et cetera. And it was such a such a trauma 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.799 and such a you know, everyone was going through a 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.200 collective trauma, the whole country obviously, but definitely the city, 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.960 and everybody was pitching in and they were all everyone 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.359 had a story and everybody was doing different things to contribute, 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:36.720 and we felt as a show. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.440 Like our job was to get back at it, to 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.400 celebrate the city, to like show that. 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.320 We were okay, yeah, you know, like it was super 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.120 important to get back out there. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.200 And that love letter to the city that your show 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.760 always was came through so clearly in this episode, right. 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.000 I mean, obviously Carrie talks about, you know, like your 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:56.799 boyfriend the city. 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.800 You know what, Yeah, it's it's beautiful. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:02:59.520 It's beautiful. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:02:59.760 Yeah. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.880 And I think anybody who has a place in their 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.160 heart for New York was really touched by. 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.160 That, absolutely absolutely, And I feel like for Michael, he's 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.160 trying to think of, well, what's a fun way to 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.000 like he everything needs to be like have the depth 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.240 that also be fun, and Fleet Week is such a. 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.840 Perfect funny, crazy weird thing. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.880 I also remember, and I don't know why I hadn't 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:23.959 placed this in my mind and that it was the 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.040 first show back, but it makes perfect sense. I just 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:30.880 remember that it was hard. There were hard things about 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:34.680 this show. Like I remember standing on the island in 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.240 Times Square because we could only start shooting at ten 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.320 o'clock at night because because of the because we were 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.160 trying to film in Times Square, right, you know, bonkers, right, 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.680 like insane amounts of people, cars, whatever, and we're trying 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.440 to shut down things, you know, as much as you can. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.680 And so they would only let us come at ten 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.320 am ten pm. So we would start at ten pm 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.000 and we would go all night long. 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:04.440 And it was like hard. Yeah, that's what I remember. 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.840 And they got his rooms in the w Hotel, which 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.200 is right there, right there, and we just I felt 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.160 like we lived there for a week, like I felt 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:12.240 like we were just there. 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:13.640 We all got the CDs. 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.920 Remember how the w has like the party in the lobby. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.640 We had the CDs, like I could play all those songs. 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.240 They take me right back to that time. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:21.320 Oh, it's such a moment. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.800 It was great, but it was also hard. There was 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:24.960 hard emotional. 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.400 I felt like I feel you really yeah, and laughing 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.719 because I remember that shot of the four of you 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.760 right before you guys shove SYNTHI next to the cab 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:40.600 right yes, And there's there's an extra behind you, guys, 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.840 a background player who apparently got the note don't look 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:45.880 at the camera. Oh no, So he's literally doing this 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.920 the whole time, like the whole time, but he's right 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.720 behind you, like. 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:51.560 Oh my god. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.000 Or maybe he thinks he's looking at the view right sure, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.440 maybe he thinks he has a team of you. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.600 He's a tourist. That is adorable. I'm going to look 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.000 back and look at that. You'll see it. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.360 Sometimes when I, yeah, I feel so bad because the 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.200 background people when they're in a big, big, big scene, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:07.760 it's hard. 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:09.680 It is it's hard. 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.920 It's a naturalness to do it so many times. And 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.080 if I remember that we had to do that for 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:16.560 a long time, then you know we had to do 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.840 that a really long time. But I feel like we 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.440 just stood on that street corner for just like I 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:23.800 don't know, maybe twelve hours. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.440 I'm sure I'm wrong, but that's what I remember. 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:27.920 And that's like all night long. I think that's the 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.520 thing a lot of people don't get is like how 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.880 often it's a slog, right. And I'm not saying oh boo, 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.479 who poor me? No, of course, but you know, you 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.080 get this glamour shot. You guys looked gorgeous. It looked gorgeous, 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:39.679 but getting there. 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.120 Is a slog, right, And I think it was cold 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:43.680 really well because it's the. 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.840 First episode back, and usually we'd start in February so 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.480 that it could come on in June. 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.120 Is that right, Let's see, let's see you. 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.920 No, I mean you probably know better than I do. 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.440 I funny my memory, well my memory which leads to 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:01.080 my funny story story. But mine involved a lot of 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.960 sweat and oh I'll tell you why. But so in 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.159 my mind we shot in summer, but maybe we didn't. 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.200 I mean, I think it looks like summer, because that's 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.080 the whole, the whole point, right, But I don't think 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:14.080 it was because we had to It aired July twenty first. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:15.839 Oh yeah, So we couldn't have shot it in the summer. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:16.479 That's weird. 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.720 Yeah, but it's also interesting because usually we would come 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.680 on in June. But I think everything is messed up 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.920 because also this is the year. And I don't think 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.520 this is related to nine to eleven. I think it 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.000 was related to the Sopranos schedule because they started messing 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.560 their schedule up. Cause sure, he wanted to write longer, 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.719 so they took a little half of our episode of 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.960 our season before and put it on in the winter. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:38.680 Got yeah, yeah, Yeah. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.360 Then they pushed our air date for the summer back 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.839 to July twenty one, which is kind of weird. 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:44.920 Is the end of the summer. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.560 Yeah, I think everything goes haywire at this point and 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.440 time in our collective lives. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.719 You know what I'm saying, Yeah, to go ahead, you're sweat? 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.560 What sweat? It couldn't even hot, I don't know. 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:00.000 No, So okay, So I was and I'm sure you 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.480 weren't aware of this drama because you had bigger fish 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:03.800 to fry, and I didn't want you to be aware 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.279 of this, Okay. So we shot our scene on a Wednesday, 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.280 which is Mattinee Day on body So I had to 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.840 use one of my sick days to do our show, 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.720 which is fine. We did that all the time, right, 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.840 Like we used to say, don't waste your sick day 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:17.320 being sick. 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:17.760 Wow. 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.880 So fine, and I made no secret of it. My 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.320 stage manager was my friend. She was happy for me. 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.560 And we had a whole string of talented understudies who 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.280 could go on in my place. I wasn't putting the 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.480 show in any danger except Murphy's Law came to town. 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.040 So I report to Sex and the City. I think 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.200 we were on forty seventh Street. Does that sound right, Yeah, 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.640 something like that. So I'm in my trailer getting ready. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.040 Unknown to me, all hell's breaking whose back at my theater. 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.560 Understudies are dropping like flies. Oh no, one gets sick, 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.320 one gets hurt, one has to go on for somebody 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.240 else who got sick or hurt, and so on. So 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.440 we're down to the last guy who can go on 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.640 in my place. So talented guy. He's in hair and makeup. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.200 As he's leaving, he turns to say thank you, as 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.760 one should, and I guess in the act of turning 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.360 while walking, he tripped. Oh no, fell on the steps, twisted. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.600 His anchor couldn't go on. What So now, if I 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:09.360 don't go on. 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.000 The show's on the day of you filming with us. 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.560 I'm sitting in my trailer City Oh, and I get 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.680 a call from my stage manager saying, you have to 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.400 come to the matinee and I said, no, I can't. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.040 I'm about to shoot my scene. She said, I know, 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.400 and I'm so sorry, but I know that you're able 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.200 to do the show, and I have to protect the 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.440 show because if you don't go on, the show won't 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.720 go on, so you will probably get fired. You could 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.600 even get sued. So I went, yeah, hold on a second, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.760 I put my phone down. I literally opened the door 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.200 of my trailer and vomited on forty seven So, like, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:45.480 just no joke, like literally just that. So I shut 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.160 the door. I was like, Okay, I have to figure 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.800 this out. So I found Charles McDougall, who directed her, 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.839 and understandably he was not happy with me, right, but 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.920 he was cool and he kept his head and he 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.839 looked at the schedule and he said, you know, you're 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.360 in luck because we're shooting everything in the same location today. 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.800 So I'm gonna switch the scene order. You're gonna run down, 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.240 you're gonna do your matinee. The minute the curtain drops, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.079 you're gonna sprint back up here and shoot our scene. 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.040 What So, yeah, you didn't know any of this, no, 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.640 So I go, oh, thank you so much, thank you, 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.400 thank you. Think I run down, I do the show. 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.920 And this is actually one of my favorite showbiz memories 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.840 because I guess word got around the theater of my situation. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.640 So when I took my bow and came into the wings, 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.400 there was this NASCAR pit crew of like twenty people 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.280 all there to like help me get ready. So literally, 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:30.959 I'm in the wings and someone's pulling my wig off 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:35.440 and the Bobby's beings out. Well, so they're pulling my gosh, 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.160 I'm off, they're putting my street clothes on. They're wiping 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.720 my makeup off. Wow, And I sprint right and I 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.280 run up and I and I show up to your 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.680 hair and makeup, and God bless them. So they're under 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.640 the gun, right, They've got to have me camera ready 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.440 in a couple of minutes. Oh my, it's like triage. Now, 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.840 you know, stage makeup doesn't just wipe off. 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.160 Yeah, it's some thick stuff. 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.800 Yeah, So I'm like half of it's still on and dripping. 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.560 I'm dripping with sweat because I spra into the whole 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.920 way and they made an executive decision. They were like, 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.360 we can't restore you and start from scratch. So they 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.040 made the decision to to just paint a layer of 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:13.360 television makeup on top of the mess. What. Yeah, and 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.240 they're so good that they made it. You didn't know. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.480 Nobody knew, but I knew when I watched the episode. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.280 Now I laugh because it's not my skin. It's I'm 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.880 like a wax dummy of myself in the episode. Yeah. 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:30.160 Incredible. Yeah, So then just curiosity. Were they ready for 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:31.560 you or did you have to wait? 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.760 Because right and as you know, we do a lot 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.440 of waiting. It was no, no, I went right in 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.160 like you and I jumped right in and and then 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.520 I had to switch gears because this wasn't my moment, 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:44.520 this was your moment. Right. 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.920 Well, well, I was not that happy about it. I 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.600 don't know, I did. 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.280 I know, So I'll address that, because you know, you 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.760 were you. First of all, you were lovely. You were 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.280 one of my favorite people I've worked with. You were 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:57.840 gracious and I'm not just saying that because I'm on 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:02.480 your podcast, but I remember, so I knew, like because 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.080 we've all had to do some form of undress, and 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.480 I think people think that like, oh, actors there, they 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:13.160 have no shyness. They know it's very vulnerable and you 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.920 feel very exposed, punintended. And so I was like, okay, 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:21.720 I have responsibility. Kristen's gonna feel uncomfortable. Yeah, well, it's 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.959 just real, right, And and we didn't know one another. 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.720 It's not like we were old friends from school, so 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.000 it was like I was a complete stranger. So I 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.280 was like, Okay, I have to find this balance of 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.240 like I want her to know that I'm not some 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.360 creep who's ogling her, but at the same time, I'm 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.760 a heterosexual man. And ge, you look great, you know 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.520 what I mean, sweet balancing act And I just wanted 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.800 to be there for you and make you feel And 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.840 so the moment I knew that it was okay is 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.880 you were nervous. The first two takes you were understandably 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.080 very nervous. But I think the third or fourth take 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:53.600 you turned to me and asked me. You probably don't 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.040 remember this, You asked me if you had any bra 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.920 lines on your boobs. And that was the moment when 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.480 I said, I've done my job. 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.760 She's come about so funny. That's so terrific. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.839 It's so funny the crazy things you worry about, like 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:08.920 brawl lines. 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.760 I cracked myself up, like on. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.440 Earth, I know, but it's totally real. I know. 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.600 It's just so like, you know what, people have a 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:22.720 lot of thoughts and feelings about intimacy supervisors whatever. They're 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.400 called intimacy coaches, coordinators. Thank you, I knew there's a word. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.079 That's the thing that nowadays I would ask an intimacy coordinator, 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.480 of course, because they're like your eyes, you know what 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:32.839 I mean. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.480 It's such a different world after me too, and I 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:39.200 think for the better. But there there were you know 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:43.839 there it's such a weird thing scenes. So one of 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.520 the ways we always dealt with it was to make 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:46.200 a joke of it. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:46.600 Totally. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.040 If you can't, I look back. If you can't, right, 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.520 that's just I look back and like, you know, I 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.480 did a series where the woman played my wife. We 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:54.800 were having a sex scene and we were just we 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.560 were buddies and we were just saying the most inappropriate 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.200 things to one another just to crack each other up 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.960 and threw up. Yeah, you couldn't do that. Today they 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.320 put up the blooperss reel and I was like, oh 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:05.520 my god, I'd get fired for that. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.120 Oh they put it on the Bloopers reel. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.440 Yeah, because oh god, yeah, oh yeah, oh my, did 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.280 you buy the DVD of that series? Like you'll see wow? 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:18.439 And it's actually it's funny. Well that's lighthearted, right, but still. 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.320 It would still not be okay with hr. Right, that's 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.480 really interesting to think about. I mean, the thing that 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:24.679 I think is interesting and. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.319 There is like a whole court case. I believe it 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:26.880 was friends. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.240 There was a potential court case about them kind of 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.440 making jokes in the writer's room. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.000 But because you know, there's a whole thing. 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:39.160 About like if your show or your writing is if 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.480 this is part of the show and the writing of 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.920 the job, that there is a certain amount of leeway 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:45.600 or whatever. 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.079 Now I don't know if that would go for on set, right. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.079 And I mean like now when you go to work, 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.320 there's a one eight hundred number on your call sheet 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.120 that you can call if you're uncomfortable, and people call, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.040 which is interesting to me. 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.920 It's interesting because it's many things, right, Like I think 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.599 sometimes it's really legitimate, right, and it's a call. And 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.000 you know, we've all been in those situations. I've been 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.480 in situations where I was like, this isn't how it's done. 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.040 There's there's a protocol here that you're not following. Now. 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.319 Did you feel that way as an actor or did 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.920 you feel worried about the women or was it directed 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:17.400 at you? 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.880 No, it's directed at me. I'm gonna be careful what 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:21.720 I know because I don't know. 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.440 Of course, I'm just so curious about the man experience. 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.280 But it's it's lovely that you ask about that, because 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.440 in the moment the men in the show I was, 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.560 I was in I was as the script was being 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.520 handed out. I said, they said, oh you're cool with nunity. 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:37.960 Right, oh? 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.480 And I went casual like that, oh lord, And I said, 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:41.960 have you spoken to my agent? 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.760 Yes, it's not Yeah, there's no. 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.120 And so I held my guns and helped to my guns. 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.680 I know, Amy, you know, I held my ground sure. 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.120 And it was interesting because the guys in the show 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.080 were all like, dud, just do it, just show your 0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:00.680 ass who cares and or whatever it was, and and 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.360 the women were all very sympathetic. They were all like, no, 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:08.040 you stand your ground. So, and that's because they've been 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:09.000 put in that situation. 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:13.120 Yeah, and I feel like agency is key, right, Like, 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.280 if you're choosing to do it, yes, if you're being pushed. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:17.440 It's not okay, it's not okay. 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.200 No, not for anyone. No, no, I agree totally. So 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:20.920 did it work out? 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:22.560 Yeah, it all worked out. 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:23.800 You have to call your agent. 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.520 No conversations happened, but it's fine. It all, it all 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:27.960 worked out. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.080 It was also supposed to be like contractual agreements, that's 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:31.320 just it. 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.840 And you know the contracts are funny. Yeah, it'll be 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.920 like like we'll show one quarter of an ass, cheek 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:37.320 or whatever. 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:52.960 The right rest is very specific. It's so hard, like 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.080 nudity for some reason is so hard. 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:59.640 It's vulnerable, it really really is. It's like, yeah, and I. 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.280 Mean this was a flash, right, like I flashed my 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:02.800 breast at you. 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.480 It's not even it was just one as we negotiated. 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:10.560 Exactly right, exactly. But I remember there were people like, 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.960 we're in a restaurant. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.600 But I mean it wasn't even like a sex scene 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:15.600 where they can close the sun. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.240 And they did have us cordoned off of it. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.320 They tried, right, But I mean there were people in 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.880 a restaurant, right, and I was just like flat, like 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.800 it was bizarre, and I just remembered like my body 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.720 didn't want to do it, like I had to force myself. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.680 I feel all that you did. Yeah, I was so 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.560 like I was. I was, I so felt you, and 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.440 I was like trying to send you all. 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.880 The that it may it matter so much in the moment, right, 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.880 because like you're you're just doing something that you know 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.800 you have to do, but you're not organically feeling it. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.800 And as an actress, right, Like, let's see, we were 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.520 in a sex scene, which that's a different ball of ACXE. 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.080 It's a different situation, right. 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.080 Even more awkward and even more weird than. 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.480 Weird because you're simulating sex but you're not having sex. 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.520 But then also you can usually joke through it, like 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.640 you're saying, like, that's a really common thing that actors do, right, 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.000 and hopefully you have a vibe with each other where 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.680 you can trust each other and make it fun and 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:08.400
