Uh, 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.000 this is Scott Patterson, I am all in podcast and 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:31.400 this is one on one with Lane Kim played brilliantly 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.519 by Keiko again. Uh um, I'm gonna tell you a 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.360 little bit about Keiko. Welcome, by the way to the 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:41.080 podcast Nice to Happen. Um Kago plays a character of 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.360 Lane Kim. As you all know, Lane is Stars Hollows 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:49.519 resident music lover. Lane has been um is seeing toting 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.560 what she refers to was the Mojo Bible of music around, 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.320 aiming to procure every last record in it. Due to 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.480 her family strict religious adherence, Lane is a master of 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:05.479 in juneer, successfully executing various schemes to procure the aforementioned tunes, 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.200 often with the help of her childhood best friend Rory. 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.440 Let's get into this. There's, there's a, there's a there's 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.200 there's a lot more stuff in here. I could go 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.800 on talking about your resume forever, but I want to 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:19.800 get into the questions. And we'll get into your resume 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.399 a little later, because this is an impressive list of 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.600 shows that you've been on. And we'll get into that. 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.080 But let's start from the beginning. How did you get 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:30.720 the role of Lane? Oh, I was just one of 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.399 the pack. I think when I auditioned for Lane, it 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.000 was with a bunch of other people. I think I 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.720 showed up and they were probably two pages worth of 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.639 people who have who had signed in at that point 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.920 and UH and so I just went through the weeding 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.200 out process until we um, you know, we got to 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.080 the UH network test. I guess was the last one 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.480 UM until we shot the pilot. That was my process. 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.840 I didn't have any special there were no special lines 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.000 for me. I just kind of went in with the group. 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:05.480 So you went you met casting first audition, then you 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:10.600 went to producers second audition, Then it was network, and 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.720 then it was studio. So it was for total Yeah, 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.160 was a studio first or network first? I can't remember. 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.040 I didn't have to go through that. I just got 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:24.120 cast as a guest starting pilot, al right, whatever, No, 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.280 I had to jump through a few hoops and then 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.079 I had a producers session. I remember that. That was 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.799 the first time I had had something like that. With 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.639 the met up with Amy and maybe Dan was there, 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:37.880 someone else was there too, But a little with Amy 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:42.399 before the final test. I think where was Gavin blown there? Oh? 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.440 That's right. Was it Gavin that was there at the 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.320 and Leslie Leslie Lincoln Gladder? Was she there? She directed 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.560 the pilot. I don't think she was there at that session. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:58.240 I know Amy was there. Um, yeah, and then we 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.679 So what do you remember about the actual audition? Do 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.080 you think you nailed it? Yeah? Do you remember the audition, 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.320 like how how it went for you? Did you feel 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.360 afterwards like you nailed it and you you felt pretty 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.520 good about it? Or or what? Well? I always say 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:19.400 the saving grace was that I had had I was 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.680 part of a very very tiny, recurring part on Felicity 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.120 at the same time, and because of that, I was 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:32.640 just distracted enough to not obsess about the audition process. Also, 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.000 I had never gone through so many auditions, so I 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.080 didn't even know there was such a thing as a 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.320 studio test and then network test. I honestly didn't know 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.240 why I had to keep showing up. So when I 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.920 showed up at the in the room, I was surprised 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.520 by the fact that there were, you know, a dozen 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.520 people in there. I didn't know why they were, but 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.240 I just came in and I did the same thing 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.360 as I did the audition before, and because I was 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.120 distracted enough, I read the lines very flat and I 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.600 didn't I don't think I put any extra spin on 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.680 it or any extra mustard on it, which I think 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.840 with that this writing, as you might, I don't know 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.920 what your opinion is, but is on it. But I 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.520 feel like, especially at that point that was the writing 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.480 was good enough that I didn't putting any extra schmeg 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.240 on it wasn't going to help at any and so 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:19.039 I think that's actually was ended up being helpful for 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.040 the fans tuning in. Getting a series regular job on 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.440 a on a comedy or a sitcom or a dramedy 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:31.239 or a drama is an excruciatingly long, arduous process because 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.160 you meet the casting people, and then if you get 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.120 through that, you meet the produce some of the producers, 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.279 maybe not all of them. And then if you get 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.360 past that, and you get in the group that goes 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.440 to the studio, and then if you and then that 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.760 gets nervous because it's a big conference room and all 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.400 these suits come in and there you know, yeah, it's 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.160 nerve wracking. And then if you get through that, then 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.480 you go to the network where it's a bigger conference 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:57.000 room or it's even a small theater within that network 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.640 where they do that kind of thing, and then there 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:02.159 might be fifty people there and it's it's very, very 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:07.159 difficult to get a job. So um So, when you 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.280 first got the script, did you ever think the character 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:13.200 of Lane will become so loved and so important to 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:18.479 the series. I did know that it was a great character. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.200 I mean the fact that she was part of it 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.800 and you got to see her home life and her mom, 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.039 and it did seem interesting, and I loved the overall script, 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.559 that's for sure. When I read that full script, I thought, dang, 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.360 I hope this gets too series, because even as a fan, 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.000 I think this is a good show. So that was 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.159 a special feeling. I didn't think I would get it, 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.800 So I had a lot of I wasn't attached to it, 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.200 but I remember thinking, oh, this is this is a 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.919 great part for someone exactly. Yeah, you know, I'm in 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.680 the same way. I never think I'm gonna get anything, 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.520 and then it's kind of a shock when you when 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.680 you get it, it's like, wow, how did that happened? 0:05:55.720 --> 0:06:00.440 It's fun, it's fun, Yeah, it's fun. Um So, What 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.359 did you like most about Lane and what did you 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:11.200 like least about Lane. I liked that she had to 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.920 care about two things. One she cared deeply about her 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.680 mother and the other way she would care deeply about 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.240 her own obsessions and her own independence. And I like 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:27.360 characters that have that want two things that don't easily 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:31.160 fit together. That's just fun to play off of, to 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.120 play those two wants off of each other. Um. The 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:39.520 thing that I like least about her is that you know, 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.400 you have all of this build up in that character, 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.800 and I don't think that she ever got to fly. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.599 You put a so much pressure on this character, which 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.760 is fun and what you need in comedy. But I 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:55.280 wish that she had had more moments of um fulfillment. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.560 I think I think there's a there's there's a lot 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.840 of frustration I have with that care as a fan too, 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.960 or and as someone who got to play her, I 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.120 would say that's the thing I like least about her. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.760 Um that there was more potential to flesh out that 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:16.280 character and and and you know, with augmented storylines and 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:22.720 and and conclusions. Yeah more um Uh. I think she 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.440 just had a hard life, which is fun for comedy. 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.840 But I I don't know, and maybe this wouldn't make 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.360 a better show, But I think selfishly I wish that 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:37.680 she had had maybe more for fulfillment. It's at least 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.120 with the music side and the independent side of of 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.520 her because we get to, you know, touch base with 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.840 her ten years later in the in the what about 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:52.760 a spinoff show? You and Let's do that? There's so 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.760 much more story to help people. Let's uh, let's uh, 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.240 let's spin her off? Right, And it's like, who's going 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:04.200 to write it? Right? Yeah? I know that that the 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.640 current writers are kind of busy, I know with what Oh, 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.440 that's right, the award winning show. So did you? Um, 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:15.920 here's a fan question, did you? Did you and Alexis 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:21.880 have a great friendship outside the show. I wish we 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.720 had more of a friendship. That was probably a lot 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.040 to do with with uh, with me not making as 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:30.440 much of an effort as I should have. But I 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:37.760 also think I was so so um, I'm not worried 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.680 is the wrong word, but you know, they worked so 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:45.040 many hours that they're off off set time I thought 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.559 was so precious to them and I and I didn't 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:52.320 want to insert myself into um into their that time 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.720 of their their lives. I don't know how how you 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.120 felt about that, but I just that's part of why, 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.319 especially with Alexis and Lauren, I think that they had 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.080 such a tough schedule. I mean I couldn't get away 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:07.600 from him. I mean I couldn't get off me. Yeah. 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.439 So what do you think of the um, Well, I mean, 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:15.280 did you click right away with with Alexis because you 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.040 had so many scenes with her, and and it seemed 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.839 also effortless and great and that was that real? Was 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:29.240 that translated from real life? Well, Alexis is so um, 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.200 such a wonderful person. And I do think that as 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.280 soon as I met her as a person, you just 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:40.000 recognize that she's an intelligent, special individual. And I think 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:46.120 that there's part of me that felt um protective of 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:52.559 her right away as U as a fellow actor and 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.800 and and and someone that recognizes how how unique of 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.880 a person that she is. So maybe maybe some of 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.960 that was something that is just insta shure. And I 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.560 think that probably shows in how our characters related to 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.400 each other, that we like and respect each other, um 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.200 right off the bat. That she was so young, I 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:15.000 mean yes, and she was very youngest. Yeah, yeah, she 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.920 seemed very vulnerable, and yeah, she like it was all 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.080 coming at her so quickly, and all the limousines and 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.760 the speeches and the awards and all the whole thing. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:26.960 I mean, it was just like wow. You know, she 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:29.760 was at n y U Film School, right, she wasn't 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.520 even in their program, I don't think, and she went 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.920 in for this thing, and she was modeling in New 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.720 York and studying and you know, she's a smart kid 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.040 and or was at the time a smart kid, and 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:45.440 u um, I'm sure this just just blew her mind away, 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.439 all this uh you know, this job and and the 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.520 time it required and the time it took out of 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.400 her day, you know, yeah, because I think she wanted 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.920 she had other things she wanted to do obviously, right, 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.160 and this was all just such a surprise, like what's 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.679 going on? Yeah, And I think it's the kind of 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.920 thing when you're lead on a television show that um 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.000 that maybe people do know this or don't know this, 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.480 but you don't. They don't have a lot of time 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.400 for other things period, especially show like this with with 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:16.000 where the days are very long, and yeah, there's not 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.960 a lot of extra time, right, there's there's there's the 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.640 extra time is filled with photo shoots, with radio and 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:27.079 TV promotions and travel to do the same. And yeah, 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.040 it's it's it's a full time job. I mean, the 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.439 promotional side of it is a job in and of itself. Uh. 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.440 And to take that on and then beyond set all 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:42.920 those hours. My god. Um, So, Emily Kuroda, Mrs Kim 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.319 was your mom. And what did you think of the 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.480 relationship of Lane and Mrs Kim in comparison to Rory 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:53.360 and Laurela. Oh, that's interesting, Well, I think that, um, 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:59.080 the Lane Mrs Kim dynamic was not the same as 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.640 Laura La and Emily, but was more similar to that 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:08.040 dynamic than to Laura Lie Rory, where it's um people 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.520 who have a very different idea of what what's the 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:15.120 right way to live a life? Uh? Yeah, so it's 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.920 pretty as far as it being, it was very opposite 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.720 of what Rory had with her mom. It really was, 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.760 wasn't it. I mean it was, um, I mean, you know, 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.840 of course you love your mom and your respect your mom, 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.120 but boy, she uh, she was really putting the handcuffs 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.720 on you. She even in a town like stars Hollow, 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.800 that was such a such a happy harmless place to live? 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.400 What was she so afraid? No? I mean I can 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.920 understand that if you're living in a big city, right, 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.760 I mean if you're living in Chicago or New York 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.440 or l A or San Francisco. But this is stars Hollow. 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.400 This is this tiny little hamlet with all these cheery, funny, 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:57.760 happy little people and nothing bad happens there. What was 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:02.560 your mom's so a little place? Though? We don't Stars 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:08.120 Hollow just like I loved it? Oh yeah, no question. Yeah, 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.439 there's a place where you have unlimited budget for festivals 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:16.679 and you only have one stop light. Everybody knows each other, 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:22.040 everybody's smart. That's kind of a lovely lula. Well that's 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.520 what really made the relationships stick out for me, because 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:29.240 I kept saying, what is what is Lane's mom so afraid? 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.640 Will happen to her daughter? It? Stars Hollow, It stars allow, 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:41.040 That's why they're there. Ye all right, here's another fan question. 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:46.680 Uh you were um okay, so you recently said in 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.040 in today's world, Lane Kim would be different. Why is 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.080 that you used to? I guess you stated this in 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.720 an interview When a fan wants to know how would 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.800 Lane can be different? In today's world or would she 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.000 and be different in today's world opposed to two thousand, 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.120 so it's only one years later, would you be different? 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:12.960 I think that in some ways, when you're in a 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:21.480 small town, because of the access to UH people that 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.520 have the same opinion that you do, basically different fandoms 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:29.000 through the Internet, I think that in some ways, um 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:35.400 Lane would have found UM connections to other people. She 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.080 would have a secret UM and thriving internet life. I 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.240 think that it's I think it's more fun that she 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.000 didn't have that outlet. That she had to kind of 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.920 live to find a way to live her her fantasy 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.400 music life in the real world with UM and that 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:58.080 was more of a of a challenge UH for her. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.640 But I think that would be a that would be 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.000 a big difference is that she she would have been 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:05.680 able to find connections UM with people that didn't live 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:10.200 in stars hollow Um that she had something common with right, 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.640 I think, yeah, right, the way the Internet and social 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.800 media has evolved, Yeah, I would if she would have 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.240 like a fun I wonder if she would have like 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.920 a fun um. Oh, this is a kind of a 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.200 fun thing to do about if she would have a 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:32.680 secret UH like Instagram where she did some kind of 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.840 musical and I could see that I could see her 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:40.920 producing these a little music videos um under the guise 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.480 of another a secret identity. That that would be a 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:49.080 fun Lane Kim storyline, and maybe it'll happen, I mean 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:54.320 write it. Maybe. Um. Uh, you were the one person 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.280 that knew all of these gentlemen. So I have to 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.800 ask you, Okay, are you team Logan, team Jess or 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:09.800 team Dean and tell us why I'm team Jess. I 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:14.520 am team Jeff and uh. I say that because I 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:20.440 always felt that the main problem with Jess is that 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.480 he needed to um mature and find some vulnerability. I 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.280 thought that was his only big and it's a big flaw, 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.160 but that that was something that would happen over time. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.040 That I thought that their chemistry together and the way 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.800 that they matched intellectually and the way that he really 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.280 did their love for each other seems genuine. And I 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.360 didn't I didn't think that once he grew up that 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.960 he would ever cheat on Rory or or or that 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.720 sort of thing. Whereas I always sort of thought, maybe 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.560 I questioned Logan, well that's a that's the downside of Logan, 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.240 And then Dean, I just never thought was the right 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.920 just match for her. Um. So that's why I'm team Jess, 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.040 because I thought then really they would be right for 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.760 each other. I feel exactly the same way. Yeah, yeah, 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.080 I do. I I felt I always felt that Logan 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:07.959 there was just I don't know, you know, I just 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.639 I didn't see it. I just didn't see it. There 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.880 was there was a quality there that I just thought 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:18.440 was not gonna work out for her. You know, there 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.520 was He's hiding something, that character was hiding something, and 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.240 it just was so apparent to me, and I think, 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.560 I think that's you know, Matt Sukri adding that layer 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.880 for the character, which I thought was a brilliant choice 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.680 because it did make you distrust him a little bit, 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:41.640 and I think you needed to um uh. And and Dean, gosh, 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.720 you know, I just saw Rory's So I'm watching because 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.040 I've never seen the episode, so I'm watching me before 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.000 I do the podcast, right, so I'll watch it the 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:52.720 night before and make notes, or the day up and 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:56.439 make notes, and the day we record. And I just 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:00.000 saw Rory's two birthday parties before we did the last 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:04.760 podcast with George Bell, and I was stunned at how 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:10.240 bold Dean was kissing her in Doses market that way, 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.480 and then coming over Laurel I invited him to movie night, 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.600 which Rory was horrified by, but she, you know, acquiesced 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:24.879 and and and Laura I gave him the speech when 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.840 Rory excused herself for a minute about don't hurt my kid, 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:33.480 like what she was telling. What she was telling Dean 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:38.199 was don't impregnate my daughter the way Christopher did me like, 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.560 she's not getting on your motorcycle. And he goes, well, 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.680 I don't have a motorcycle. She and she just looked 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:46.000 at him and said she's not getting on your motorcycle, 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:50.480 which meant don't knock don't knock her up, you know, 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.480 because the whole town's watching you, kid. You know, it's 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:57.040 not just where, it's the whole town, So don't mess 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:01.440 with us. Um And then he had he had the 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:06.840 gumption when she was done to say now is it? 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:11.760 Can I talk now? And I was like, wow, he's eighteen, 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:15.000 what is our seventeen in the show, Like he's a 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.960 kid in high school and he just got to talk 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:22.040 from a very protective mama bear. And it didn't face 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:25.840 him didn't face him at all. So and then he 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.560 mentions to Rory about, hey, do I when does the 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.120 guest get to like, if we do this again? Can 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.120 I pick the movie and have you seen Boogie Nights? 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:43.000 And I'm like, oh no, and Laurel I wasn't around. 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.960 Um so I'm thinking, wow, this is this is going 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.399 down the wrong road here, And right away I was 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.920 just like, I mean, I did a Scott Colin rant. 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:53.440 I don't know if I'm going to do a Dean rant, 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:55.200 but I think I might be doing one right now. 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.679 Um So I agree. I totally agree with you. I 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.320 agree with you on percent um. I think Jessice is 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:06.440 perfect for her as he matures, if he matures. Yes, 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:14.159 did Lane like Paris? Did Lane like Paris? Did you 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.199 interact with Paris? Did you act with her a lot? No? 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:22.439 I wish I love. I mean, wow, what a what 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:26.520 a power husband actress. I wish there were more scenes 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:33.880 or opportunities because she's so great. Mm hmmm. I don't 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:39.040 know if she liked Paris. I mean there must have been. 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:41.800 You might might not have been really aware of her, 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:45.199 but I did. Did Did Rory confide in you at times? 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.399 And when well? She went off to Yale, and I 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.440 don't know. You know how much interaction you guys had 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.400 once she went off to Yale because I haven't seen 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:56.360 the episodes, but I don't remember any of scripts. So yeah, 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.199 because that's when they or I'm sorry, when she went 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.720 off to children. Yeah, I feel like the worlds were 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:11.360 so separate. Um, that's a good question. I don't know. 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:13.359 I don't know if I don't know if she likes 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:15.640 I can't believe. This is the first time I've think 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.679 I've been I've been asked it or have thought about it. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.320 We'll come back to us. Um. Um, So you love 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.840 Lane love music? Did you share this love of music 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:29.320 with your character? Are you a music not No, I 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:35.120 have very little music knowledge, although I do. I will 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.280 say the last piece of music that I really fell 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:43.480 in love with was Leonard Cohen's Um album that he 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.080 came out with just before he passed, which I love 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.280 even still every time I listened to it. Wanted darker. 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:51.200 I would say that that and that seems like something 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:54.480 that Lane would like. I think that's a crossover. But 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.040 then the other one, you know, that's not a crossover, 0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.679 probably a spin Doctors like I love the Spin Doctors. 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:04.080 I do not think that Lane Kim would have that 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:08.240 in her list. I think she's be too snooty to 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.160 admit that she had the Spin Doctors in there. So 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:14.440 we all know, say, on the music subject, we all 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:16.919 know that Lane played the drums. Did you enjoy learning 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:20.040 how to play the drums? Because that was required? I 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:24.520 did love it. Who taught you? Jeanie? I forget her 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:28.040 last name, but she was a friend of um Helen 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:31.520 and Dave's and who actually played drums in the band 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:37.080 that Dave that the actual day Grabowski plays in. She 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.479 was my drum teacher. So every week we would get 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:41.600 together and play for like a couple of hours or 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:43.879 something like that. Does she have you listen to certain 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.600 drummers and to try to play along with them? Oh? 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:48.679 I wasn't even at that point yet. I mean she 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:55.000 just did, like very rudimentary thing. Um. Yes, but I 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:56.560 have been told that my four on the floor is 0:22:56.560 --> 0:23:00.600 pretty decent by Sebastian Bachiven. He was like, oh, you know, uh, 0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:03.399 you're not bad again. Uh So I take that as 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:07.360 a god. So listen. I know we're going a little 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:10.639 bit out of order with this next question, but you know, 0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:15.520 the writers had Lane wait to have sex until she 0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:24.680 was married. How did you feel about this? H As 0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:28.159 an actor, what a great fun, comedic thing to play 0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:29.879 that you waited to long to have sex and it 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:32.600 was terrible? Um. But then as a fan, I kind 0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:34.359 of feel bad for this kind of goes back to 0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:37.000 the thing I said before, like Lane's life is pretty rough, 0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:38.760 Like she waited all this time, and the first time 0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:43.399 that she had sex, it's uh terrible, and she gets 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:47.520 pregnant with twins? Are we assume that it happened right away? 0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:53.520 So I don't I don't know. It's mixed. What is 0:23:53.560 --> 0:24:00.679 your favorite memory of kil More girls? There's just too many, right, 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:04.960 They're just flooding in. Yeah, I mean, I guess one 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:07.080 of the one of my favorite ones is getting to 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:12.080 film with Emily Corona on the time where things all 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:15.280
