Speaker 1: lately than wow?

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: You know it's funny because I think I had when

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: I came into the audition. David Semmel directed the episode.

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: And when I came into the audition, I had said

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 3: on my on my special Skills it said that I

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: could ride a unicycle, which I did in college in

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: a show. And he said, can you still can you

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: ride a unicycle? And I said, yeah, yeah, and I

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: if I remember, there was a unicycle on set and

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: I could not ride it as well and as quickly

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: as David wanted me to. So then we it became

40
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: a bike, and I say, much better because.

41
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: You like you circled dress rounds there that would have

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: been hard to do on a you.

43
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: Cycle, and it was, and I was very I got

44
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: very nervous. I was like, oh no, I'm gonna be fired.

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: This is not I can't do this, and.

46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: I lied, I can't assumed you were offered that part.

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: I assumed for some reason, which is weird that you

48
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: were friends with Priestley.

49
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: Like, no, no, Tori, that's a wonderful assumption, but no,

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: I auditioned for that part. That was like the second

51
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: or third thing I did. I think when I was in.

52
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: I know you so much.

53
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: I just wait, it was the second or third thing

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: when you started acting. This was the second or third

55
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: thing you got.

56
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. When I came to La Yeah, wow, sorry, I

57
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: did an episode. My first thing was an episode of Allen,

58
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: and then I did some commercials and then yeah, when

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: I was was one of the first things.

60
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: Oh I love that.

61
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: How was it walking on to set all of us there, like,

62
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: not just working with one or two like we were

63
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: all there.

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: I mean it was great. You know, I didn't I

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: didn't watch the show as much as like my sister,

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: who was a ginormous fan, so I was like, okay,

67
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 3: you know this is I think. I was also nervous,

68
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: just because it was one of my first gigs. So

69
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: it was, you know, wanting to be good, wanting to

70
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: everyone to like me and know all those things that

71
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: an actor goes through. But everyone was really kind and

72
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: I remember having a good time once I kind of

73
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: got into it.

74
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. That's good. So when you started as an actor,

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: you studied acting and you studied improv before you ever

76
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: moved to LA or after you moved to LA.

77
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: No, I did. I went to UH. I mean, I

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: started in children's theater and I was about eleven, and

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: I did acting all through high school. And then I

80
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: went to studied theater at SMU, Southern Methodist University.

81
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: My dad went there.

82
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, that's so funny. They had a wonderful

83
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: theater program. And I did that. And then I'm from

84
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: Chicago originally, so I came back to Chicago and did

85
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: theater and started a company, started working with a company

87
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: of made the move out to LA.

88
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: And how long was it once you moved that you

89
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: got your first job? Do you remember?

90
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,279

125
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: why I wasn't on Friends. I should have been, duh.

126
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: Do you know when you went to audition for the

127
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: show that it was based off the real world San

128
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: Francisco character of Puck.

129
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: Yes you did. No, I did know that, and so

130
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: that was kind of yeah, because I mean, the real

131
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: world was was huge back then, right, and that wasn't

132
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: that the second season? The same Francisco was the second season?

133
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: I think seems like it, no idea. I would think

134
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: that he.

135
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: Just threw some trivia in there that we don't know where.

136
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: It was the first season in New York, New York. Okay,

137
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: m interesting that they would go to San fran for

138
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: the second season.

139
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: Okay, I believe that was the second season.

140
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: You're right.

141
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: So then there's one scene at the beach house where

142
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: you come in and you see that Brandon is dressed

143
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: like your character, and Brandon stood there laughing at you

144
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: uncomfortably for us, it was uncomfortable to watch. Do you

145
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: remember the laugh? Was that a real laugh from Jason?

146
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: Do you remember he just kept.

147
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: Going amongst the million things you've done since this is

148
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: what he remember? We were, Yeah, Well.

149
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: Well, do you think his laugh was like making fun

150
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: of the actor playing the character or do you think

151
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 3: he was just Jen.

152
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: Heard a bit of his real laugh coming.

153
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell.

154
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I don't know. I think I

155
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: remember remember maybe being a little nervous, like is he

156
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: laughing at me or with me?

157
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,119
Speaker 4: Or oh wait, you guys had to redo that because

158
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: it was it didn't line up correct. I feel like

159
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 4: it was like the third time you guys had to

160
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: redo it. So he was laughing.

161
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: Am I oh like three like three different takes? Is

162
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: that what you're saying?

163
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they needed that like perfect, and it just

164
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: like timing wise and everyone doing their thing wasn't working.

165
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm just glad I didn't mess up the take.

166
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: But it kills me to think that you were in

167
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: your head thinking is Jason Pracy laughing at my knees?

168
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: Or is he laughing at my character? Because I was

169
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: I was thinking the same thing watching it.

170
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: For ten years, So I thought you were thinking that

171
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: for ten years.

172
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: No, no, and then yeah, that was it. That was

173
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: the last we saw of you. But that was not

174
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: certainly not the last of your extensive resume.

175
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: You are his career.

176
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,120

Speaker 3: but yes, it's good.

179
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: I think everyone says that.

180
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: Sure, my kids would kill me if I didn't ask

181
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: which voices you did in Family Guy?

182
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,040

185
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,040

186
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: played one of those guys. I played man at Circus.

187
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,120

188
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 3: funnies that that I that Seth didn't do. You know,

189
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: Seth does like fifteen or feels like fifteen voices an episode.

190
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: But I so I had some other little episode. I

191
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: remember auditioning for the part of the kid that Seth

192
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: Green got, but they were kind enough to kind of

193
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: still bring me in and have me do some other voices.

194
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's awesome. It's a funny show.

Speaker 3: out in the theaters. It opened on the twenty third,

200

Speaker 3: I think, yeah, and I play I play a hit man.

201
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: And it was a great phenomenal experience doing it and

202
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: I've gotten. I've been lucky because Ethan is also a

203
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: wonderful playwright. So I've been in about four of his

204
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: plays and we've done most of those in New York City,

205
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,520

206
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,320

207
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,720

208
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,960

Speaker 3: for a long time. But I was in New York

226
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: for about fourteen years. After being in LA for like

227
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: twelve years and then yeah, we thought this would be

228
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: a good place to settle for a bit. We have

229
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: a daughter and she goes to school right across the

230
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: from she she's seven, seven.

231
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: And you get to walk her to school like normal people.

232
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: Like my youngest just turned seven, so good age. It's

233
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 2: they're no longer babies and they're yeah, little tiny adults

234
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: that challenge you and make you laugh and very clever.

235
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's just grown up right in front of my eyes.

236
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: That's pretty wild.

237
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: If you could say, like, what was your favorite TV show,

238
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,720

Speaker 3: He was full of confidence, so that was good.

281
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: I want to know this. I want to know since

282
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: you've done so many different forms, different ways of you know,

283
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: acting on theater, in the theater and in TV shows

284
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: and in movies, like which is your favorite platform?

285
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: Theater, theater, no doubt about it, and why you know,

286
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: just that's how I started doing a play. There's nothing

287
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: better than doing a play. There's nothing better than than

288
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: rehearsing for four or five weeks and with a group

289
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: of artists performing. It's always different every night, and there's

290
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: that strange, wonderful repetition, the illusion of the first time

291
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: and you're doing it again as though you've never done

292
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: it before. You've never said the words before, you've never

293
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 3: heard the words coming out of your partners before. But

294
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: I don't know, there's just it's there's something beautiful about

295
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: this kind of shared experience. And yes, you can have

296
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: it in a movie theater, certainly, but when it's live

297
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 3: and it's happening, it's it's just the best.

298
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: There's nothing like it. Yeah, I've always wanted to feel

299
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: that feeling. I've never done theater, but you should, a

300
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: lot of people have said.

301
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: That great energy and the audience and.

302
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: The camaraderie, like you said that, just like common goal

303
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: that you have as a cast every night, and you

304
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: have to you have to depend on one another to

305
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: make it happen. It's not just about one person, no, completely,

306
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: and there's there's no cutting, there's no recess.

307
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: No exactly.

308
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

309
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,240
