<v Speaker 4>I'm dying mind?

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Scott good terrific so tell us a little bit about

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>how you got your start in this career.

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 4>I did dinner theater when I was a kid, and

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 4>and then when I moved to Los Angeles at the

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 4>rest of my several directors that I worked for in

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 4>that genre, which is a very specific genre. Luckily I

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 4>was too young to have to actually go out during

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 4>the braes and poor drinks. I moved to LA and

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 4>I made a living doing commercials for many years, and

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 4>then trying and trying to get on television, and Gilmore

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Girls was my first television job.

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh great, So what do you remember about the casting

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>part of it?

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 4>The casting part of it was very flattering to me

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 4>because I originally auditioned for the pilot and I loved

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 4>the script and I wish i'd kept it, the physical

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:44.119
<v Speaker 4>copy of it when that was a thing. And they

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 4>had me auditioned for Dean, which of course, you know,

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 4>Pedalacic got and it was incredible ad And then they

0:02:54.639 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 4>had me auditioned for Tristan, and for my memory doesn't serve,

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 4>but Mark Casey, one of the casting directors who later

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 4>really changed my life, and Jane Rudowski remained a fan

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 4>of me and kept bringing me back. M m and

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 4>then I got lucky and they had me auditioned for

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 4>this part that required a marksman, which I am, and

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.399
<v Speaker 4>that's when I finally got rolled.

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.119
<v Speaker 3>I could speak fair a marksman.

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>The role required you to be a marksman of firing weapons.

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 4>Yes. In that episode for you, it's called you Jump

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 4>I jump Jack and I think you had to have

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 4>a golf game, yes with Richard. And meanwhile I got

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 4>to be my first line of work. Do you care

0:03:58.280 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 4>to hear about this bit?

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 3>I too, I want to hear all of it.

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 4>My first night of work was in Griffith Park in

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 4>a part that's normally shut off, and they had set

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 4>up this football field long. It was a sweeps episode,

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 4>so they were spending the money. It footbar one hundred

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 4>yard long, set like it was from out of Africa,

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 4>and everybody was dressed like it was from out of Africa,

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 4>and it was just whimsical. And it was at night,

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 4>you know, I think my cold time was like ten pm.

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 4>So I got there and I met the rest of

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:43.679
<v Speaker 4>the Life and Death Brigade who had already done episodes together.

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 4>And I hated Tank, said, just hated him because he

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 4>was so handsome and comfortable and seemed to know everybody,

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.600
<v Speaker 4>and now we're great friends, had been for years and years.

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 4>And met Matt zu Green, who's you know, is the

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 4>sweetheart he appears to be. I mean, he plays, you know,

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 4>a cheating liar on the show, but he's he's just

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 4>a lovely human, one of the nice people I've met,

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 4>one of the nicest people I've met in show buds,

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 4>you know. So I get there and meet the director

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 4>Kenny Ortega, who remains a friend, who's a lovely man,

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.479
<v Speaker 4>who did that wonderful he was producing that show for

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 4>Michael Jackson when Michael Jackson died, and then it made

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 4>that documentary about it. He's a lovely man. That side note.

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 4>So first night at work, meet every Matt Zuckery is

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 4>sitting on his trailer steps sort of just strumming the guitar,

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 4>not being not being a you know, not being a

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 4>show off, just playing around in the beautiful air. And

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 4>we made up a song together called give Me Back

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 4>My Bacon Sandwich. You beautiful, of course beautiful. So that's

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 4>funny to think about it. I haven't thought about this

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 4>a long time anyway. So rehearsal comes and it's my

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 4>first time to meet Alexis, and she's exquisitely simple and

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 4>lovely and kind to me and is trying to make

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 4>me feel comfortable, which I wasn't. And we go to

0:06:55.400 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 4>shoot the scene, and if you rewatch it, you'll see

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 4>that my first shot they which they used, is a

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 4>wide where I walk into frame and I don't stop

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 4>swinging my arm even though I'm holding still, and I

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 4>could never take my eyes off that when I rewatched it.

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 4>And then I got a flat tire on the way

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 4>down the hill that night and it's you know, like

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 4>five am, so I had to deal with that, So

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 4>that's memorable. Then the following day was shot at the

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 4>Disney Ranch north of Town North Villa, and that's when

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 4>we did the That's when I had to do the shooting,

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 4>and there was a there was a time crunch and

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 4>we had this big shot to do, multiple shots to do,

0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 4>and Amy was mad, and a lot of people because

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 4>I got the job because I was marksman, came down

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 4>from the crew trailers to watch me shoot. And on

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 4>the first of what Amy decided was she wanted to

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 4>do a long tracking shot instead of individual things so

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 4>we could pick it up and get it done before

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 4>the sun went down, and the DP was like, I

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 4>don't know, and I don't know that gentleman's name. It

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 4>was certainly a talented fellah. But I think he got

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 4>fired right then because Amy asked the assistant DP, it's

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 4>like can you do it? And he was like yep,

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 4>and she was like you take over.

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:47.559
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know.

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if think I got fired, but he

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 4>got dismissed. And so there's this long tracking shot across

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 4>a lot of dialogue of course, that goes around behind

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:08.319
<v Speaker 4>me wherein I am already shooting, and then you've got

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 4>these platforms where men in tuxedos are being launched in

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 4>the air across from each other, and that's what I'm

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 4>shooting at, and so I have to hit one when

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.200
<v Speaker 4>I when they get behind me. That's why they hired me,

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 4>and because I'm so handsome m h. And so again

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 4>time crunch, sun's going down, very little light left. They

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 4>do the first pass and there was no U. There

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 4>was only a props person. There wasn't a somebody who

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 4>knew anything about guns, and so I didn't get to

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 4>handle the weapon first and try it, so it wasn't

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.559
<v Speaker 4>dialed in. I didn't. I didn't. I wasn't familiar with it,

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 4>and so I had a few minutes two try it out.

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.559
<v Speaker 4>And so we do this long tracking shop with all

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 4>the dialogue goes around behind me, and the guys are

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 4>getting launched in the air and the gun's on safety

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 4>and I don't realize it. So I ruined it. If

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 4>I remember the sentence right, Amy said, mother nature is

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 4>gonnas in the air, and we have to do this

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:30.319
<v Speaker 4>right now. And so I felt a great deal.

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Of prayer Amy Amy. Amy's very colorful, to.

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Say the least. Anyway, after that, I got it dialed

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 4>in and we out it over and over again, and

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 4>then I had just one of bush one of those

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:58.199
<v Speaker 4>things that only show business can give you is then

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.079
<v Speaker 4>she was like, let's just get some roul of you

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:04.839
<v Speaker 4>shooting guys. And so for the next half hour until

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 4>the sun went down, stunt men and tuxedos were getting

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 4>launcht in the air and I would shoot them. And

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 4>when I was asked back for my next episode, because

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's a bit of entertainment.

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>We thought we thought that that was one of my

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>favorite scenes in the entire four or five seasons up

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>to that point, where those were those guys flying through

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the air getting shot.

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.679
<v Speaker 3>I just thought it was hysterically.

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 4>Funny, just just whimsical.

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, really terrific. Yeah, Amy drops in these scenes

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that just take you by surprise, and there.

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 3>They're just.

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 1>God, what do you what can I compare them to?

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean you almost feel like you're watching a Fellini

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>film at some point, you know, a little points here

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and there in certain episodes it's like, here's this great

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 1>European flavor from a great director. It's almost like it's

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>an homage to somebody, you know.

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 4>The one of the one of the great treasures of

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 4>having been a fan of the show, having auditioned for

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 4>it all those years, but also watching it it was

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, it was didn't have TiVo then, so it

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 4>was you know, like appointment viewing. You got to watch

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 4>gilmbor girls like you schedule stuff around it. And so

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 4>it was a huge fan of the show. When I

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 4>got the gig, and one of the great privileges was

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 4>when invited back for the Netflix reunion, well, it's to

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 4>be able to shoot and stars hollow in full realia

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.199
<v Speaker 4>because that wasn't my storyline, you know, like I'd never

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 4>have to I never have to be there. You know,

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:09.199
<v Speaker 4>I think you and I I encountered you two times

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 4>that I can remember. Once you were getting five o'clock

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 4>shadow done by makeup because you were clean shaven for

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 4>a reshoot. And then the second time, if I remember right,

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 4>you were riding a bike around wb going from one

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 4>place to another.

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh. I was always doing that, Yeah, yeah, on our

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>on our downtime, I'd get on a bike and ride

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 1>around just to get a little air.

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, as a fan of the show.

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>To suddenly see basically I was stalking others, you know,

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>big time celebrities, trying to get their trailers, trying to

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>meet them.

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 4>I support this behavior some thing, but you know, just

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:56.320
<v Speaker 4>a funny thing to having not worked in television much

0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 4>just commercials, to suddenly have Scott Patterson writing past just

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 4>going hit. It was a very memorable moment. Oh back

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 4>to my point, doing the Netflix revival, it was so

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 4>wonderful for me to be able to have such a

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 4>stylish experience in starts hollow because it was all made

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 4>up and you know, shooting golf balls off the roofs

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 4>back and forth and being in the market and it

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 4>was just cool. It was just cool that you know,

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 4>it's one of those things that as an actor you

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 4>don't forget, not because just because it was a great experience,

0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 4>but because it mattered to me as a fan and

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.119
<v Speaker 4>as a person. Sorry, I get emotional talking about.

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh, don't never apologize for that obviously means a great

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 1>deal and appreciate your candor. It's what who was that

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 1>that guy on Seinfeld who always it's.

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 3>Gold, Jerry, It's Gold. Who's you also appeared in? Well?

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Let me let me ask you this. First of all,

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 3>is there.

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Anyone on the cast that you still stay in touch with?

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 4>Uh? Tank Satan and I are still friends. But who's

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 4>become a closest friend? And I had to fight for

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 4>this friendship his Liz tour Is. I tried to get

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:49.240
<v Speaker 4>close to Liz Tours at every cast party and and

0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 4>she was just like she was just not having it.

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 4>She just thought I was a creep, which is fair.

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 4>But now I see her multiple times a week. She's

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 4>she lives down the street nice and uh, I worship her.

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:19.320
<v Speaker 4>She's yeah, it's It's one of the great privileges of

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 4>this experience of the show to have Liz Torres in

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 4>my life in any kind of regular way, but we've

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 4>gotten close, very nice.

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Give her my best I will.

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 4>And Shelley Cole of course, because you did that, You

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 4>did that beautiful show with the w B. When they

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 4>read that was so beautiful to be all made up

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 4>and be able to encounter it.

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 3>It was nice.

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 4>And Shelley stayed with me when she came to town

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 4>for them, and uh so, Shelley and I are close,

0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 4>and you know, it's been just a wonderful community to

0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:09.879
<v Speaker 4>be a part of. They've been supportive of me in

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 4>many ways. I got two books that were in the

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.160
<v Speaker 4>Amazon top ten mm hmm. And I'm certain it's because

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 4>of the Gilmore Girls mm hmm. You know that that

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 4>community and things like that, and there's not a place

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 4>I go in the world. And my wife's actress. I think,

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:35.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, m I think you worked together on something.

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I've never had the privilege of working with Virginia.

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.399
<v Speaker 4>You were on a show anyway.

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I worked with Well, I worked with her brother Cool.

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I worked with Michael Cool. You know, Michael Madson and

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I crossed paths for the first time, interestingly enough, because

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 1>we just watched the Tarantino the Pulp Friction episode.

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, my beginning, so right.

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>So, Michael Madsen and I first crossed paths at the

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 1>audition at the final, final, final audition to play mister

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Blonde in Reservoir.

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Dogs over at Fox.

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 4>What a trip.

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 1>And then I got to do and I obviously he

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 1>got it and he was great in it, and I

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:29.439
<v Speaker 1>just was pissed off for a year because it was

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:35.360
<v Speaker 1>like seventeen auditions. Yeah, he's He's a brilliant, brilliant guy

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and maybe one of the great screenwriters of all time.

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh and True Romance is one of my favorite screenplays ever.

0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 1>It's it's have you ever have you ever dug into

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to all of us, like read all of his screenplays

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.119
<v Speaker 1>because you know you can you can download or at

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.640
<v Speaker 1>least I figured out how to download all those screenplays

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:59.200
<v Speaker 1>from the Writer's Guild. And I just sat one afternoon

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.479
<v Speaker 1>and read all of his scripts and just was blown

0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.359
<v Speaker 1>away the talent that this guy possessed this not only

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.440
<v Speaker 1>as a writer, but to bring it all to life.

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:09.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it make it work?

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, because that's the whole that's the hard part.

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you think the writing's difficult, but then you

0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>got to bring it to life.

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm an enormous Tony Scott Fan.

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, me too.

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:24.480
<v Speaker 4>And so to have those two talking about true romance,

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:30.880
<v Speaker 4>to have those two talents collide. If you haven't seen

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 4>it in a while, it's worth your time.

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, I've seen it.

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 4>When we're done with.

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>This several times. I've seen it several times. Oh good,

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:44.400
<v Speaker 1>extraordinary performances all through it. Brad Pitt was genius, James

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Vandelphini was genius. Gosh, Gary Oldman was Janius. I mean

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 1>it was just a fan. Christian Slater was great. They

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 1>were all great. I hate to leave anybody out. There

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:59.440
<v Speaker 1>were so many great performances. And that Michael Michael Rappaport

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 1>was great. Uh yes, he's the one that really beats

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the tar out of Patricia Quatt and then who gave

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:16.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe the performance of the year.

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 3>That that performance she gave.

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Was beautiful and heartfelt and wonderful.

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 4>And Dennis Hopper.

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Walking before he kills him.

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:32.000
<v Speaker 4>That scene is one of my favorite scenes, right.

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.880
<v Speaker 1>And the moment he realizes that he's going to die,

0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.439
<v Speaker 1>he decides to take his time, have a cigarette and

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 1>tell the story and then deliver the final insult like

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:44.679
<v Speaker 1>I know you're gonna kill me, but I'm still gonna

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:46.119
<v Speaker 1>insult you to get.

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 3>It was brilliant.

0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 4>No, it's my favorite Tarantino.

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 1>It's the best kind of screenwriting there is. I just

0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 1>don't there's a lot of really good writers out there,

0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 1>but Tarantino man. And you know, he lives in Israel

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>now and he's married and he has a couple of kids,

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 1>and apparently Tel Aviv and I haven't been, but I've

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>been told that Tel Aviv is like it's like West Hollywood.

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 1>It's it's like La It's it's very diverse, it's very gay,

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:27.719
<v Speaker 1>it's very very open and artistic about thriving, thriving artistic community,

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 1>painting and filmmaking and dance, and it's wonderful. It's it's

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>like this movable face.

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 3>That moved, you know.

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 1>It's it was in New York and then it moved

0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:48.360
<v Speaker 1>to Berlin and now it's now it's in Tel Aviv. Yeah,
