So 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.520 there's a there's a cape over the button, over the butt, 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.200 a small Batman cape over the Where do you find these? 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.839 They do not. I cannot believe they make grown Man 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.319 they do underpants. It gets work because not only not 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.080 only do I find them, but my wife will also 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.240 buy them for me. Okay, I want to I want 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.720 to break down the cape over the butt. Okay, flying 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.480 it might be. It's got it's little. It's got a 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:50.520 little utility belt around it, like a little Batman utility belt. Um, 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.920 it's the way it should be. I've got a cape 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:54.880 on my chair. Look at my chair. My chair is 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.600 Batman drinking again again, just because the next time I 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.040 fly with Will, I don't want to think about the 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.400 fact that I know what underwear and now I do 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:09.720 I will. There you go, you're gonna know. I have 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.040 a pair of Deadpool underwear that I wear when I 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:17.280 do our panels too. I'm sorry. The question for me becomes, 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:22.320 you don't have lucky underwear that you wear for certain things? Wow? 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.800 Not interesting? Great? Great Deadpool, I've got a really good Um, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.480 I like the fun kind of underwear or underwear as 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.440 I like you said underwear. I did. I absolutely did 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.760 like the Bob Ross ones are great until I kind 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.799 of heard that his family kind of gets screwed out 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.720 of the royalties so I don't really wear my Bob 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.400 Ross ones anymore. Um so I was like, yeah, that's 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.000 not cool. But oh yeah, no you I run the 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:47.680 game and I've got some d C stuff. I had 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.160 my eye and a great pair of Aquaman shorts, but 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.720 the underwear, but they were gone, Like you turn your 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.400 back and they're gone. So you gotta jump on that 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.359 when you get the chance. Pretty much. Yeah, well all right, 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.560 these were things I never never knew and probably never 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.640 needed to know, but um, somehow I'm actually really happy 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.880 I know them. Well. I've always heard that, like actors 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:15.280 are suspicious people. You know, they're superstitious, superstitious. Sorry, yeah, 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:21.400 wait a second, superstitious people. I mean you know you 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.560 have there's so many rituals, right, like everyone has their 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.160 lucky socks, everyone has their like you can't say the 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.800 Scottish play in the theater. You know, there's all these traditions. 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.760 And it's like, yeah, because you have to make something up, 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.640 you have to court in something magical. You have to 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.840 completely convince your brain that like, oh I'm actually this 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.280 person on stage right now, or I'm experiencing this real emotion. 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.600 I mean that is a superstitious process, Like that I had, 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.360 and that's bad, but it also gets bad too because 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:52.280 I had a hat that I wore for every single 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.000 recording session I did for every animated series I did, 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.160 or every voice over four years. And I was sitting 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:00.920 there one time wearing it and one of the actors 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.920 turned to me and said, if you lose that hat, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.080 are you never gonna work again? Like what's going to happen? 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.320 And it got into my head where I was like, oh, 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.360 I need to break this habit of wearing this thing 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.280 every time because in my head, I'm gonna be like 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.720 my hat fell apart, I'm never So I literally just 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.640 started to not wear it because it got to be 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.440 a thing, and it was like, yeah, it can't be 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.200 a thing. The underwear is more just fun. It's not 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:21.800 like anything bad's gonna happen to me if I'm not 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:28.880 wearing it, but it will. Yeah, just saying I don't 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.400 have any of those I don't have any of nothing. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.480 You don't have any rituals that you do at all whatsoever? 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.520 Like nothing, And I'm not talking because there's something like 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.840 Chris Farley was famous for apparently being kind of O 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.560 C D where when he would go onto the stage, 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.720 run out of the stage for SNL, he had to 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.000 touch certain things a number of times, lick certain things 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.479 the number of times, like it got to a mental illness. 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.240 Whereas but you don't have anything where it's like, all right, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.440 there's always change in my left pocket, or there's always 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.960 the I wear this or I do that. No showtime 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.520 rituals at all. Well, like I definitely have designated pockets 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.800 for stuff, but that's not like that's just a organizational tool. 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.320 That's an organizational tool. Yeah. No, No, there's nothing. There's 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.640 no ritual, there's no magical like you know, I don't 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.640 even knock on wood. You know, I've noticed you knock 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.440 on wood, and although I knock on wood all the time. 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.400 I mean, I liked our traditions backstage. I liked our 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.600 or you know you will you and I had our 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:20.520 handshake are high five, yeah, and we pretended to bash 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.680 our foreheads into each other. Yeah, the football high five, 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.039 football high five, right, uh, and then we did the 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:29.040 screen backstage. But yeah, I mean I think when we 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.080 were on Boy Meets World, I did have more of them, 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.680 because I think there was consistency to Boy Meets World 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.599 where I could have something like you know, I think 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.880 for a long time I wore that a Yin Yang 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.719 thumb ring. I think I was like obsessed with making 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.800 sure I had that thumb ring on for a while, 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:48.640 and I was I had it. It was like, well, 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.920 I'm never taking it off, and I think, maybe we're 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.640 gonna see this on the show. This is quite possibly. Yeah, 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.840 I had the same necklace for years. Yeah, you wear 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.360 the same necklace. I think I did. I don't remember it. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.200 I don't remember exactly what it was. But I definitely 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.640 had a thing about gum. I chewed gum all the time, 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.040 and yet you know, obviously you shouldn't chew gum on camera. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.000 So I think I had a thing about like always 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:09.960 having a piece of gum in my mouth until right 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:11.720 before we went out. Then it probably went on the 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.719 gum wall um and so I know, I know I 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.200 I probably had more of them then. Where you know, 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.239 every week you're doing the same thing, and it's easy 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.320 to get into like I like to do this thing. Uh, 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.680 but when you know, and I did for a long 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.880 period of time, insist on stopping my gas in the car, 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.320 like when I would get gas on an even dollar amount, 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.880 and I inherited that from my mom who likes and 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.159 but then I would have this anxiety if it went 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.479 over by a penny, and then I'd have to go 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.000 up to another dollar. And then there were multiple times 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.479 my car gas tank overflowed, gas pouring out of the 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:45.880 side of it because I was trying to get to 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.680 an even dollar amount until one day, I literally just 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.520 one day said this is dumb. I'm not doing it anymore, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.800 and I haven't done it since, so I don't. I 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.479 still do it just for fun to see if I 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.599 can stop. Like to me, it's more personal failure like 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.720 ah fifty one like but other than that, yeah, it's 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.640 I'm it's not like a thing. I just I like 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.760 to see the zeros.

But when you're 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.240 thinking as a parent, you're just like, yeah, yeah, I'm 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.839 gonna make this happen. Well, what can we do pool time? 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.360 So I had the whole thing set up and then 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.559 Saturday was rain right, that's right, the one one day 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.080 in four years. It rains. It's work. People out with 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.640 me all the time with these parties. So I'm like driving, 0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.880 you know, on Friday, and I'm realizing it's rain and 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.720 I'm like cold calling magicians. I'm like, I'm like calling people, like, 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.960 do you know any entertainment? What can I do here? 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:11.160 So I found someone, Sam Shazam showed up. He was great. 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.560 I don't even need to know what he do. Amazing. 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.640 So we had the party on Saturday and that was 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.280 really nice. And then yesterday I hosted the Burbank International 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:27.680 Film Festival. Incredible, Yes, and there were some really exciting 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:29.880 movies in this festival, I have to tell you. So 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.400 it was very fun. But it was a very long weekend. Yes, 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.800 that's a long weekend for sure. So I'm excited. So 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.160 I was talking about you last night with my husband 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.480 because we you know, Jensen carp is one of the 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.800 executive producers of this podcast, and we were talking about 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.280 having you on, and he said, where did you and 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.440 Christine meet? And I went, I don't know. I had 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.880 the exact same thought. Honestly, this morning, I was like, 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.280 when did I actually meet Christine? It was like no, 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.960 he just kind of were in each other's lives like 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.719 all the time. But I had no idea when it 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.000 first happened. And that's so that's what I was going 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.240 to ask. Is this just a thing for all of 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.720 us nineties kids who grew up doing this stuff? Do 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:07.960 we just not remember where we where we met or 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:09.839 do you actually have a memory of it, Christine, I, 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.320 I don't have a specific memory of the day that 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:17.000 like we all met, but I do know for a 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.440 fact that because of us being in the same block 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.800 of t G I f I feel like we went 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:28.000 to certain ABC parties together, Like there were you know, 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.679 there were things like that. Um, I definitely remember, Um, Danielle, 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.200 you and I would go to some charity events. I 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.559 have so many great pictures of us at charity events, 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.040 like around Halloween when we would hand out yeah, bowling 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.880 Halloween where we handed out candy to people. Um, I 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.240 do remember. I think that's I think, because yeah, That's 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.160 the other thing is that I'll say to Jensen like, oh, 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.360 probably one of those parties, and it's like, we really 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.679 sound like we were partying in the nineties and we 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.480 really weren't. But there were a lot of I guess 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.680 functions where they were bringing us all out everyone from 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.440 even not even just the t G I F block, 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.800 but like kind of all the ABC stars and shows, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.120 and there were ABC events and and then that was 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.080 just the network events. There was also like Tiger Beat 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:18.000 would do an event. Yeah, and then like Ronald McDonald 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.400 was always a really big one. My mom was very into, 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.680 you know, me doing things for a charity and um 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.560 and I always really enjoyed that too, so we did 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.040 a lot of Make a Wish and things like that. 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.320 You have to remember I lived in Atlanta, so I 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.679 didn't have any friends in l A really, and so 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.480 all of these events were kind of like my social outlet. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.800 I would meet people and see people. But it's very 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.400 strange because now, I mean she would take pictures at 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.560 all of them, and I was going through stuff last 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.360 year because they were my parents were moving out of 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:49.400 my childhood home. The pictures I found some of these 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.280 events with like people of all kinds. I mean it 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.360 was like people from the cast of Melbury's Place and 0:11:55.640 --> 0:12:00.160 like Tatiana Ali Jenavanoy, like any kid that was on 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.920 a show, like the kids from Roman Improvement. Yes, lots 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.120 of those were you. I have a question going back 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.360 to when we met in the weird places we would 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.240 hang out. Were you at the famous like Tiger Beat 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.080 paintball day where they just handed us all that was 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:20.800 so much fun shooting at each other. You can paintball there. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.600 I finally know I had tennis ball sized welts on 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.560 my body. We went paintball, dude. One of the most 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.480 vicious things I still have ever seen to this day 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.640 is Jenna FNOI who I think I might have been 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:35.960 dating at the time. I don't know if we had 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.440 broken up yet, but we were definitely still friends. Was 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.960 forgot you dated Jenna? I did. Yeah, we're on with 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.520 both of your red Toyota Selica confirmed. Yes, No, she 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.120 had white. She hers is white. I was ready. Hers 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.360 was red. I thought you had watching. I'm almost positive 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.559 hers was red because I knew all I knew from 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:55.520 my whole life. All I wanted was a red Toyota 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.000 Celica convertible. But I thought, and I thought it was 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:58.920 because of Jenna, but maybe it was. You might have 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:00.839 mine wasn't a convertible. Well you'll see it. I still 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.199 have it. Anyway. Jenna and I lived like next door 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.840 to each other. She's the best She's like the nicest 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.000 person in the world, the weird world, which is why 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.400 what I witnessed was so horrifying, which was we're on 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.360 different teams, and she like falls down and goes like 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.640 hang on, hang on, and so the ref comes over. 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.880 It's like okay, and she stands up and walks away. 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.960 She's about six feet away, and the ref goes all right, 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.240 game on, and Shiloh pops up out of nowhere and 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.920 pops her twice in the back from five feet away, 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:36.800 and just her and down and Shilo running away there 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.839 But you don't remember being there. You were, you were there. 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.360 It was it was where I want to say, we 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.400 drove up together. It was some like far away. I 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.840 think he was like an angel and Vicky was like 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.920 an angel and Vicky thing because then it started a 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.679 bit of a session for me. Yes, it was like 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.760 exactly like a Castaic or on the way to Vegas 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.800 or something. And the guy and I I forget his name, 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.239 which is so terrible, but the guy, the kid from Baywatch, 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.959 had like his own guns and like brought his own stuff, 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.719 and we were like, okay, let's stay away from this kid. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.800 Like he was like the kid from who the guy 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.599 from Baywatch, Jeremy Jeremy Jackson. Jeremy Jackson. Jeremy Jackson was 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:19.240 armed to the teeth. Um. So yeah, I don't think 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.800 I went to that. I do remember getting invited because 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.520 Vicky would like, come and do step aerobics with us 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:35.880 Aerobics by Step Yes new T shirt. She would go 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.440 see and her husband had that that company, and they 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.880 would go and they would train realize for our listeners, 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.120 for our listeners. You've heard us talk about this a 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.920 couple of times. We had Angel and Vicky who owned 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:53.280 like their own personal training company. It was personal and 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.000 they were they were hired by I don't know who, 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.200 the production company or Disney with the studio and and 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.800 they would go around to all of the different sets 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:09.760 and train the kids for their pe time and you know, 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.960 basketball with you or if you wanted to do step aerobics, 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.920 which I did. They of course you wanted to do 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.960 step around. One day I got it. I was like Angel, 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.040 I should actually work out and we like get push up. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.800 There's like one time and it was always just like 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:29.200 hanging out. Thomas thrown elbows. Yeah. I think I was 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.440 scared of the paintball because I think. I remember Jen 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:33.880 telling me she got welts and I was like, that 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:35.560 doesn't I don't think I can do it. I think 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.360 I'll perish. It was vicious. I mean it was just 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.720 like a double tap to the middle of the back. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.760 At five, it started for me a bit of a 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:48.400 paintball obsession. I went multiple times, did you really, Oh yeah, 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.200 I think there's a picture of me somewhere on like 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:55.120 the cover of a paintball magazine. That's actually it's at 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.640 the place where you play paintball. Come all right, you 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.120 have to find that, man, I don't think I do 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:05.840 have to find that, um right now. Yeah. Another thing 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.600 we have noticed about us child actors is that a 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.480 lot of us seemed to have started acting at the 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.320 age of ten. How old were you when you started 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.760 acting and how did you get into it so professionally, 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.760 I think my first job I was eight. We moved 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.280 to Atlanta. When I moved to Atlanta when I was six, 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.800 and um, I you know, I was always very tiny, 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.160 so doing like team sports was a little bit of 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.400 a challenge. So my mom got me involved in dance 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.480 because it's like, while we moved to New City, like 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.800 get involved in something and So I was doing lots 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.760 of dance and I saw that there were acting classes 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:43.680 at this studio and I wanted to know what that was. 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:45.680 And I had been doing I mean, I've been putting 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.600 on plays on like under the mantel of the fireplace 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.440 my whole life. So my mom basically said, it's, you know, 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.480 class where you act out characters. I'm like, oh my god, 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:58.840 like Carol Burnett signed me up. I basically started acting classes. 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.400 After a couple months, the teacher said, you know, I'm 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:06.199 also a manager, as as many of them. And she 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.600 said I I have you thought about from your kid 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.679 in commercials? And my parents were like, you know, I 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.640 roll not really. Well she seems to like it. Well 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.520 we'll go on a few. We'll just do it for fun. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.640 I book a bunch of national commercials. My mom finally says, well, 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:23.720 maybe we should get an agent. So that I kind 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.280 of fell into it in that way. And then I 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.239 was doing lots of theater in Atlanta, and then I 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.400 booked a couple like small movies that came through, and 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.800 I was doing with my theater company, doing a show 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.760 at a resort in South Georgia, and a manager from 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.640 Los Angeles happened to be there with her family vacationing, 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.800 and and then you know, she my mom just decided 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.200 to they hit it off. They decided to just keep chatting. 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.240 And a year later, my mom brought me out for 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.080 spring break to do some like auditions and like make 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.920 a demo tape because there was no zoom and I 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:57.240 looked across the country. So I made this like beta max, 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.439 you know, tape of me doing this monologue and like 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:05.440 crying and whatever. And Bob Boyett happened to see it, 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.520 and I mean talk about it's all kid, isn't um? 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:13.520 He saw it, uh randomly from the control booth um 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.879 And two months later they were casting. Step by step 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.639 they had cast someone else in the role and she 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.560 couldn't do it, and they pulled out and they was 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.760 like the last person to be cast. I've seen everyone, 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.359 and finally the Bob boy it was like getting me 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.600 that girl who was crying in the monologue, Let's see her. 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:34.960 So I get home one day and they're like, my 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:36.760 dad's like, they want to see you in Los Angeles 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:38.639 for a for a TV show. And I'm like, well, 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:42.280 that's ridiculous. No one flies across the country to audition 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.040 for a TV show, and my dad was like, you know, 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.000 we got the frequent flyer miles, like, go for it minute, 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.840 why not? It's unless you don't want to, that's fine too. 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:52.840 So I was like no, I mean I kind of 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.560 want to. So I came out, I auditioned, and literally 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.879 the next day I had the job. Wow and Miller 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.520 boy Yet at the time, Yeah, Miller Boyette was like, 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:04.400 it's like being found by the biggest of the biggest 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.520 in TV. Mean, Miller Boyette was doing everything, I mean 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.520 legend like Happy Days of Vernon early, like all of 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.800 the shows. So yeah, it was and wild and so 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:15.959 then did you move to l a full time? Did 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.840 your family come? How did that work? Then? So my 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.639 mom came out with me. We obviously we shot the pilot. 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.680 Um and then it's like Stacy Keenan, and it's like 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.320 all these people like Stacy Keenan, I'm like, oh my god, 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:29.919 you know, I'm like I'm like freaking out, Like I 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:33.159 had watched her growing up, um, And you know, I 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.159 kind of knew who Susan Summers was because I used 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.480 to watch reruns of Three Company. I was like a 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.320 real rerun kid, like I watched everything. I didn't watch 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.840 Dallas obviously, but enough of my mom's friends told me 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.639 who Patrick Duffie was, um and so and so, you know, 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.560 Stacy Keenan's mom was like, oh, these pilots, they never 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:55.280 got it, kid. Yeah, and my parents were not in 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.280 the business like they wanted to just you know, keep 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.840 me very normal. So we decided to. When it got 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:07.119 picked up, we got an apartment. We lived in the Oakwood. Yeah, Oakwood, 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.240 Oh goood. You know, you just rent everything like corporate housing. 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.600 So we lived there for a little while. And then 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.720 after you know, a few months we've been doing the show, 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:21.000 we got robbed at the oak Wood. At the Oakwood 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.080 tell the story. I don't know. I've never heard about 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.600 a rod haven't either. I thought it was that was 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:30.399 frowned upon the dark underbelly of the Oakwood. Well, we 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.119 lived in the one in the Marina because we worked 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.680 the first couple of years we were at Culver Studios. 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.960 I don't know, Okay, I don't know. Like then I 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:40.800 was going to Venice Beach all the time. I was 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:42.960 like buying like the Crystal next lived.
