No no, no, no, no no no. I just 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.640 my memory went back to on Scandal. Because I was 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:51.920 the youngest of the series regulars, they used to give 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.960 me the last shot of the night on a Friday, 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.320 and I would get called into work at ten pm 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.360 to shoot like at midnight and be wrapped by two am. 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.840 And one time I was not drunk by any means, 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.800 but I had a beer on my deck and then 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:07.640 had to like drive to work. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:08.799 But I had a beer, and I was. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.200 Like completely fucking goodie two shoe like horrified that I 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.079 have done that. I was just like, oh my god, 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.680 how could I have had a fucking beer. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.280 First of all, it's a fucking beer, Like if you 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.000 shoot in Europe or you shoot in England, so many 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.280 people have beer or wine with lunch in the middle 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:26.000 of a shoe day. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.440 Like since then, now that I've grown up and I'm 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.560 not little baby bitch. When we shot Inventing Anna and 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.800 we shot in Morocco, and we were with a foreign 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.120 crew in Morocco. I mean every day the hour lunch, 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:42.040 everyone's having a glass or two of wine, like, oh yeah, 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.480 it was wonderful. Like I was like, why does this 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.760 seem so fun? So I was never drunk on scandal. 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.000 But I have to say when we did the Broadway 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.959 and Adam and I did Waitress. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:54.800 For some reason, when. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.600 You do a musical, a lot of people take like 0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.359 a shot of whiskey or something like before the show 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.880 or an intermission to sort of like warm up their chords, 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.680 because whiskey makes your chords feel like really lubricated and 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:11.280 super warm, and and everyone's got whiskey in their room 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:12.520 and you just like take a shot. 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.520 And I'm not gonna lie. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.239 My character I played had so much heavy lifting in 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.080 the first act. I've never done it for the first act. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:23.120 But the second act, Dawn is really not around that much. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.400 And so I remember there were a couple of the 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.320 hundred million shows we did where the second act. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.840 I was like a little bit. 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.000 It's no way shape form, yeah yeah, like a light 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.240 buzz yeah. And it was a blast, and I thought 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:41.440 I was the greatest actor ever. 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.280 Of course I did a movie with Mario con Chito 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:48.080 Alonzo and she while we were downtime, while they were 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.800 setting up, she would go around with tequila shots and 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.320 make us do tequila shots. So I did do that, 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.040 had a couple of times, but I just did like 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.920 one or two. But I was like, Okay, did. 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.400 You feel like you were the best actor ever? 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.920 Yeah, totally. 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:02.800 That's sort of the weird thing about it. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.880 You lose your inhibitions. But I also didn't do that 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.440 much where I was like super like buzz, but she 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.760 was no joke. She would literally go around and give 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.880 us all tequila shots. I was like, what's happening? What 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:14.720 is my air goo and sheet Alonzo, I had to 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:15.760 do it. I couldn't say. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:20.279 No, non, no, like are you joking? Of course you 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.440 have to do that. But Scandal, God, everyone was such 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:29.320 goodie two shoes, like you would never ever ever, but. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.400 You never and you're such a stoner. I always loved 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.440 that you were so like, you're just very disciplined. You're 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.320 really good at your own boundaries. Because I would be like, 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:44.240 oh yeah, this fucking episode right, I just rewatched and 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.039 had to I close my eyes for a lot of 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.960 it because I cannot handle what they're doing to you. 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:55.640 I cannot. It's horrific. It's not okay, Like I can't 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:56.920 believe this episode. 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.239 You believe that shit. 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.279 I don't even care about what happens to rest of 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:00.680 this episode. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.480 I mean I do, but I just want to hear 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.200 about your experience in shooting this because it is a 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:05.960 fucking nightmare. 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.040 Like I can't watch it. I don't know if it's 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.160 because I love you so much as a friend or I. 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.480 Love hockbody character, but it's really hard to watch.

I didn't know about waterboarding. I didn't 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:50.599 really know what it was. I didn't understand it. And 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.440 then we did a couple of rehearsals with Tom Verica, 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.440 which is weird. Oh Tom was there because he was 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.920 the producing director, right and our director of course, Steve Robin. 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.559 And they just laid me on a plank and pulled 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.960 me back and just were like, this is what it's 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.120 going to be like. And they poured the water slowly 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.119 over my face, like with a rag, over my mouth 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:09.600 and nose. 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.560 When you rehearsed it, would they say like, okay, now 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.160 hold your breath or like what or you're screaming? 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.160 Yeah? I mean I think instinctually, you you know, I 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.200 just held my breath. But you know, they did it very, 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.960 very sort of lightly, and they sort of you know, 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.880 got me used to it and they just kind of 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.680 wanted me to feel what was going to feel like 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.320 when we shot it. But it was intense. Man. You know. 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.320 The the craziest thing about shooting that stuff was that 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.400 I had to be naked. But they can, you know, 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.760 as actors when you're naked in a scene, they usually 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.800 give you a little cover of ban Yeah, the NAD. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:52.600 Disease. I can't. I cannot. Here's why why if someone's 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.080 tortured on the Patriot Act, why do they have to 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.800 be naked? Is that even like a thing? 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.520 Right? Don't they fuck? You know, to humiliate them? It's 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:06.000 also you know, it's it's mental torture too. But an 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.160 interesting fact. The guy that's that's sort of the head 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.920 the he's the interrogator in that scene, he's wearing a 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:12.520 black tea shirt. 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.320 I wanted to fucking kill him. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.760 Yes. Now, Katie is a Sex and the City fan. 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.880 He was in a in a Sex in the City episode, 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.160 which one it was when they go to La and 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.440 Samantha goes to like a sex shop like show or whatever, 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.480 and this guy has like a a dildo that he's selling. 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.199 It's a cast of his penis, yes, and Samantha, and 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.520 Samantha sleeps with him and then he's like, I'm a 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.320 poet too, and he wants to keep reciting poetry to her, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:40.760 and she's like, I just want you to fuck me. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.880 But but he he has like a penis in a 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.840 box that he you know, they sell at the sex. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.480 Shop completely remember that. And that's the guy. 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.920 That's the guy. His name is James McDonald. Yeah, he's 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.839 pretty hot. He is hot.

But also another fun fact that I found that 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.200 he is related to the twenty third US president, President 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:05.400 Benjamin Harrison. 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:06.679 Got the fuck out of here. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:07.440 Isn't that crazy? 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:08.319 There are two. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.120 Things that are crazy about this That he's related to 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:11.920 Benjamin Harrison. And the second thing is that I don't 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.680 think I ever knew that we had a president named 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:15.480 Benjamin Harrison. 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.440 I didn't either. He served one term from eighteen eighty 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.280 nine to eighteen ninety three. He was a Republican and 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.400 Grover Cleveland preceded him and succeeded him as well. 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.920 He grows, So no one gave a fuck about this, dude. 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.319 Really, Yeah, he did one term and he was out. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.760 But how interesting that Grover Cleveland preceded him. So he 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.080 was the president before and then and then he was 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.240 the president after.
