It was bread around New Year's 52 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 5: I think I can't remember, but down there and then 53 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 5: I got the phone call that you have an audition 54 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 5: for Tom Hanks in a movie that he wrote and 55 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 5: is going to direct.

It's been a long time. 58 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 4: I know, I can't remember names from yesterday. 59 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, we don't remember anything. 60 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 5: But so I remember it was in Santa Monica. I 61 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 5: know where the building was, and I went there. There 62 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 5: was a ton of actors there, you know, the old 63 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 5: days when they used to be auditions. Exactly everyone at 64 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 5: that time with smoking cigarettes. I was one of them. Wow, 65 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 5: half a pack of cigarettes before I went into an audition. 66 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: And you I've seen it written that you were the 67 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 3: only person who dressed in the time period, and you're 68 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: the only person who sang. Were guys, what did you sing? 69 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: And what was the choice to go in? Because I 70 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 3: know as an actor going in and singing takes a risk. 71 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 3: You're like, either I'm going to show them all my cards. 72 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: I'm not going to show them, you know, I'm not 73 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: stually going to show them anything. So I'm just curious, like, 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: what what prompted you to do that? 75 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 5: So when I got the screen, when I got the script, 76 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 5: I must have been sides. I think I probably get 77 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 5: the cells. It said Jimmy, I quit. I quit, mister 78 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 5: White right, And in that scene, I was like, hmm, 79 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 5: well he's a singer. Why not sing? 80 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: Oh? 81 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 5: Oh? I decided I was going to dress up like 82 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 5: the part because I really wanted to get into it 83 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 5: as much as I possibly could. And Tom has told 84 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 5: me over the years that that was that stuck out 85 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 5: to him, that I dressed the part no one else 86 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 5: did and tie white shirt, hairs combed over And when 87 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 5: it came to the part of the script, I remember 88 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 5: Tom was in the room. There was a reader with me, 89 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 5: and I remember I walked up and pretending like there 90 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 5: was a microphone above me, and I went, I quit. 91 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 5: And I looked at Tom Hanks and I said, I quit, 92 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 5: mister Wright, and I left the room. 93 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: Oh, no way, anybody else did any of that? 94 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 5: You know? That was like And then I was like, 95 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 5: I just change now. 96 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 4: Then, Oh, that's some good instinct right there. 97 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's really exciting. Did you book it 98 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 3: off of that one or was there more did you 99 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 3: have to meet that? 100 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: Was it? 101 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 5: Yeah? Unbelievable goodness, because I probably would have screwed it up. 102 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 5: They gave me more chances, like. 103 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: Please don't ask for what. 104 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 4: Yes, please, that's what it is. I promise. 105 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm jumping into like Tom Hanks so you've 106 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: written you've manifested this, you've like psychic abilities, and and 107 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 3: then you were you're working with him.

Yeah, So I just I 471 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 5: think I just decided that I'm not going to do 472 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 5: that work because acting is hard enough for me. 473 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 474 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. 475 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 5: But after being part of the series.
