That is a great thing 56 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: to snare. 57 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: You were a lot forty five commercials. 58 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: Yeah wow, wow wow wow. Yeah, residuals, too residual. 59 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: So I was under contract, which was actually a lot better. 60 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: A lot better. Yeah, that's nice. And you were gaelling 61 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Hello, so you did 62 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: do some big stuff. All right, here we go. 63 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: Tell me. 64 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Orbit Gum stuff. Those 65 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: commercials were iconic. What was it like working on that 66 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: campaign for so long? Tell me how you got it. 67 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: The thing that's really cool about that campaign, and then 68 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: I'll tell you how I got it was that it's 69 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: a really funny story. Actually is that you know, depending 70 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: on what you watch as far as TV shows go, 71 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,839 Speaker 2: and there's so many TV shows nowadays or films. There's 72 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: so much out there, but depending on what you watch 73 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: depends if people know who you are. But that Orbit 74 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: campaign was everywhere and everybody knew. It's one of the 75 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 2: best selling campaigns in history. And so it was funny 76 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: because in person, people don't recognize me because I speak 77 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 2: with the British accent in those as I did on 78 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 2: Gollmer Girls, and I actually am British, but I was 79 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 2: raised back and forth. So for me, it's kind of 80 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: like being bilingual. It's hard to explain to people that 81 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 2: you can switch like that, but with an accent we can, 82 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 2: and so you know, it would be neat for me. 83 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: In person. People wouldn't recognize me, but people would be 84 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: talking about it. People were dressing up as me at Halloween, 85 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: and you know, and I liked being anonymous. I loved 86 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: that people would like be talking in the grocery store 87 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: line about like how much their boyfriend loved the Orbit 88 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 2: gum girl and they didn't feel threatened by her because 89 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: they loved her too, And I was like, I know, 90 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: she's so cute, right, Oh, I love that girl, And 91 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: so it was really cool to be able to do 92 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: something like that that, you know, it's kind of part 93 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: of pop culture, you know, right. 94 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: Now, when when you go back to London or England, 95 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: do you speak with a British accent? 96 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: No, although it's very hard for me to not switch 97 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: into it, so sometimes I will. It's it's a weird 98 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: it's a weird thing because it is. The minute I'm 99 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: surrounded by it, I want to, you know, I kind 100 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 2: of do switch. But then I think, right, well, I've 101 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: been speaking this way for a while, and I don't know, 102 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: it's it's weird. 103 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: It's a little weird, right, But it's easy to slip 104 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: in and out of it, right, Yeah, no problem, all right. 105 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: So the commercials are very clever. What was the craziest 106 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: thing he had to do on those commercials? 107 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: We actually did a lot of crazy things. We shot. 108 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: We shot them all over the world. We would go 109 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: a bunch of places, and we did one with an 110 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: Ostrich and one with a whole thing of penguins. But 111 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: like literally I was in the penguin pool and penguins 112 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: bite and they were like swimming all around and I 113 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: had boots on a pie.

And 155 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: it's hard if you're American. You don't know the difference 156 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: between these things. 157 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: Right, You can't I do I do? I do?

Thank you for believing in me enough to 172 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: bring me back in after after you know you were 173 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: sure about that. 174 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: But that was the part of the character that made 175 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: her so lethal. Was that was that that accent. And 176 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: you just knew exactly where she was from, you knew 177 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: exactly where she went to school. Yet she still had 178 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 1: this side of her where she was this like stunning 179 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: woman who could stand up and end a meeting and 180 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: know that that would be effective to close the deal 181 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: and talk about contrasting Rory. I mean, you gave off 182 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: such a cosmopolitan, worldly vibe, knowing vibe, and Rory was 183 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: just crushed underneath the weight of that. So the scene, 184 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: that's what was so great about that scene, that can't 185 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: contrast of it. 186 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: We watched it. I rewatched it today. We're going to 187 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: be talking about it. And you know, you don't, you don't, 188 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: you're not often rewatching yourself all the time stuff that 189 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: you do. And it was really fun. It was so 190 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 2: fun because I remember that part was so fun and that, 191 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: you know, it's interesting being able to be because you know, 192 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: she was she was Bobby was obviously not really a threat. 193 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: She was really nice, but just the fact that oh. 194 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: No, no, no, she was a threat? Are you kidding me? Well, 195 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,599 Speaker 1: are you kidding me? 196 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: Not in Bobby's eyes, maybe in Rory's eyes, but in 197 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: hurt right, And it was fun. It was fun seeing that, 198 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 2: remembering portraying that, you know, that kind of two sided thing. 199 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: It was, you know, it was a it was film. 200 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: It's you know, once in a while that show gets 201 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: in does it gets a filmic thing going? That was film. 202 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: It was that was good film. What do you remember 203 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: about that? Shooting day. 204 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 2: I remember it was super late. You know, the guys 205 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: were really fun, the other guys who were on it 206 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: as well, and everyone was incredibly nice. Alexis is a 207 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: really I actually ended up doing another job with her 208 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: shortly thereafter, on a film called Postgrad and she's and 209 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: she's a really very down to earth, you know, kind 210 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: human being. And you know, you meet some great people 211 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: in LA but not everyone that way, and she was 212 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: I remember her really being specifically. You know, we talked 213 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: a lot and I liked her a lot. Right, and 214 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: the fast talking everyone, of course, right, that's I'm sure 215 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 2: that's constant fast talking. You know how fast you got 216 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: to pick up, pick up the pace, don't leave any spaces, 217 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: all of that. 218 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: It's the only note we ever got. We didn't get 219 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: any other notes, sure, because we always knew what the 220 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: director was going to say. Right, you want it faster, right, faster? 221 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: Got it? It's four am. I can't do it faster. 222 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: I want to go home. So when we recapped the episode, 223 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: we were a bit torn on that scene. If Rory 224 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: should have reacted the way she did when she found 225 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: out that you were a female colleague of logans Logans, 226 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: What What are your thoughts about that? Did you think 227 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: it was the right dynamic for the for the show. 228 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: I kept wondering how he managed to not ever say 229 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 2: she that's a tough one, right. 230 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: When you think about it, Yeah. 231 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: It would have been tough. But do I think, look, 232 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: I get it from a young woman's perspective, totally get it. 233 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: Why maybe that would be that way? And so I 234 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: feel like it made sense, although I don't think he 235 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: was at fault, Like I didn't think he needed to. 236 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 2: I don't think that there was any reason for him 237 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 2: to specifically say, oh, she's a girl or she's a. 238 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: Guy, right right, right right? 239 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 240 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: We we went back and forth on that for a 241 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: little while. All Right, so you've also been in three 242 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. What was it 243 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: like working in those all those films? And what do 244 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: you think of it? It's controversy now that I think 245 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: I think I think Bruckheimer wants to distance himself from Johnny, 246 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: from Johnny Depp for some reason. What do you think 247 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: about all that? First of all, let's talk about what 248 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: it was like working on it. 249 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 2: Working on those films was literally like a dream, because 250 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: when you're on a set with that kind of budget 251 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 2: and that kind of creativity and perfection. The first I 252 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 2: was in the first three, and then they did a 253 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 2: ten minute short film, Disney'd a ten minute short film 254 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,239 Speaker 2: just about me and my partner in it, about our characters, 255 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 2: and it's the prequel to the first film, which cost 256 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: a million dollars that short. And the first movie was 257 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: shot in la and then second the third we shot 258 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: in Saint Vincent in the Caribbean. And I remember the 259 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 2: first day of shooting in the Caribbean and we'd be 260 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: taken by boat to they had this huge bay that 261 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: they had literally there was nothing modern there. You couldn't 262 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: see anything other than you know, beautiful beach and palm trees, 263 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 2: three gigantic, authentic pirate ships, and this whole town, Tortuga, 264 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: which they had created impeccably. And you know, it was 265 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: early sun rising, and they'd take us on this other 266 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: little speedboat to enter this bay which we hadn't seen yet, 267 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: and we're pulling into it and the sun is rising 268 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: over this as if we're entering, you know, a seventeenth 269 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 2: century village, so authentic. And I thought, if I told 270 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 2: my eight year old self that I was going to 271 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: get to do this one day. I wouldn't have believed that. 272 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 2: I always remembered that moment just because it was so mesmerizing. 273 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: It was an amazing moment. 274 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: That's the top of the food chain in the film business. 275 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't get bigger than that stuff. 276 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I made some great friends on it. And 277 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: Gore Verbinski was the director of the ones I did, 278 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: and he was so awesome to work with, and we 279 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: all would get to hang out. We're on this island. 280 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: It's just you know, there's not very many of us 281 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: working together, and it was it was tons of fun. 282 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: It would be up plate. 283 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: Did you stay on the island? 284 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 2: Yes? 285 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: Yeah?

I always wondered because so many top musicians' 304 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: top bands embrace him. He's like, he's like friends with Aerosmith, 305 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: and he did an album with Jeff Beck. If you 306 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: can even imagine doing an album with Jeff Beck.

So 316 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: he just always was. 317 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't this is just my personal opinion. 318 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 2: And I didn't know Amber ever, but I felt like 319 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 2: if there was falsehood there, to me, it seemed it 320 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 2: was on the opposite side.
