00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: now we're just considering stery.

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 6: Chest introduced him that guys, you remember him as Kyle

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 6: McBride after five, six and seven of Meller's Place, after

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 6: playing another character in season.

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 7: I think few people that have done two characters.

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Different character yes, address.

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 7: No, they never did.

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 6: They never did well, they waited a while right between seasons.

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 5: Was like, yeah, it was there was.

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 7: A good I actually did a pilot for Aaron and

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 7: when it didn't get picked up, he said, hey, do

00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 7: I like to come do that.

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Yeah great, And it was such a different show. Like

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: I was struck because we watched you. We covered the

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: first season and then I just watched your first few

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: episodes in season five, the show was so different show.

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 5: You think you were going to be on the same show?

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I think it was

30
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 7: you know, they, I think, I think Chuck and they

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 7: took the temperature of what was working what wasn't, and

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 7: they realized that what they had wasn't and and by

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 7: the time I got there, it had switched the full

34
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 7: blown you know.

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 5: Well, I think they, you know, because we were all

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 5: there in the beginning. I think it was working very well,

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 5: Thank you very much.

38
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: Starting disagree, No, I think the ratings weren't there right,

39
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: and then it was thirty years ago, doesn't matter, but

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't and three was the highest ever.

41
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: Okay, no, but season one wasn't working.

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 7: Right, Yes, oh no, No. Wednesday fixed season one for sure,

43
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 7: And I guess, I mean, my role on it was nothing.

44
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 7: I was an architect and I was I think I

45
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 7: went out with James.

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 5: You didn't go out. We just watched. You made a

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 5: move on her.

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 6: You were she married, yes, by the way, you were

49
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 6: Michael's best man or something, and she did kiss you back.

50
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 7: I was Michael's best by the way.

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 6: Something like best friend. And then you came into town.

52
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 6: Robb you across the line.

53
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 5: You and Josie were in real life weds. Yeah, I

54
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 5: just gotten married.

55
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, well no, actually we know. Yeah, she got it.

56
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 7: She got Melrose and we had a wedding on Sunday

57
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 7: and she started on Monday.

58
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: Yes, because this was like episode twenty four or five,

59
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: and so it was within the year you were.

60
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was interesting too. I mean I kind of

61
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 7: had a I had a front row seat of watching

62
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 7: what happened when you were on in Melrow. Oh that

63
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 7: think blew up, right, it did.

64
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: I remember a very slow start and then it blew up.

65
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 7: But Aaron had that you guys did so much press

66
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 7: in the beginning, that's true, right, I mean you guys

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 7: did like two days in the studio and all kinds

68
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 7: of stuff. So when it rolled out, it was already

69
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 7: huge news and he kind of was a gorilla on Fox,

70
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 7: so it just had traction right away.

71
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: Well no, not right away.

72
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: This is that court and he was talking about because

73
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: she was on from day one. So there was a

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: big launch and then everything fizzled out. The ratings weren't there,

75
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: the audience wasn't there, and then we did another big

76
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: launch the beginning of season two basically came.

77
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 7: On was she season two?

78
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: She was the end of season one and she was

79
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna do four episodes, and then they realized that, oh,

80
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: these romances, and then it became just three storylines of

81
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: people making out, no switch beds rooms. We jumped up

82
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: to season five. I'm like, Jake is dating, but but

83
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: Jane is upset about it, and he'd been like what happened.

84
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 6: There's it changes so much because our recap first still

85
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 6: the place. We're recapping every episode in order, so we're

86
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 6: still working our way through season when we're trying to

87
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 6: prevent ourselves from looking too far ahead. But because we're

88
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 6: prepping to see you and your character comes in season five,

89
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 6: we saw some episodes it was very jarring for us

90
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 6: to go, wait, these storylines are completely.

91
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: As Sam, your first character that you probably don't even remember,

92
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: I don't.

93
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 5: That was that was one of the few key moments.

94
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: That was right at the time where they were turning

95
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: the show into the Melrose that we all know and love.

96
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 5: So you hitting on.

97
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: Your best friend's wife, your real life wife, Josie.

98
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 5: That was like a moment we're starting to turn.

99
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: We're noticing that like the end of season one, things

100
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: are bad behaviors and stuff like that.

101
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 7: It's starting to hit you were really a part of that.

102
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 7: Yeah good, I'm glad that I was a part of

103
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 7: the switch of the heart of the show.

104
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 6: So wait, when you came in as Kyle McBride in

105
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 6: season five, did you? I'm assuming they just offered it

106
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 6: to you. They said, here's this character we have in mind, and.

107
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I done. I just left the show Show Show

108
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 7: Silk Stockings, and then I had to deal with Stephen

109
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 7: Cannell and we were going to produce something, but he

110
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 7: wanted me to move to Vancouver and in the midnight hour,

111
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 7: I said I can't move and he kind of went, what,

112
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 7: like like, I can't, I can't. I can't do that.

113
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 7: So I ended up auditioning for a thing called heart

114
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 7: Attack and Vine, which was Aaron show. It was with

115
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 7: Adrian Brody, me Heather Graham was a blind girl, Guy

116
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 7: Leon and the director of Rudy directed it. And it

117
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 7: was horrible. I mean, it was great. The script was unbelievable.

118
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 7: It was so good, but it just didn't work at

119
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 7: the end of the day. And it's interesting because it

120
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 7: was it was very it was kind of hard hitting

121
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 7: for TV at that time, you know, to have one

122
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 7: of your leads be a blind girl and a snitch

123
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 7: and it's all all in Hollywood, kind of a blind

124
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 7: underbelly of a blind Now Adreen was blind and his

125
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 7: girlfriend was Heather Graham, okay, And I think I think

126
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 7: Aaron wasn't ready to let go of letting something be

127
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 7: a little hard, harder hitting, you know what I mean.

128
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 7: And I just think ultimately it couldn't work itself out.

129
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 7: But it was a great idea. So the day it

130
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 7: got canceled, he called me and he said, yeah, they

131
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 7: canceled it, but you know, do you want to you

132
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 7: want to come and do Melrose?

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 5: And did he say as a guest star or a couple?

134
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 7: He said, I'll give you twenty two okay, two episodes

135
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 7: and then just kind of went from there.

136
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 5: And your wife was on it, so you started going.

137
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 6: And this was also the time when season five, the

138
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 6: regular contracts of the original characters those were winding down,

139
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 6: and so I think they were doing a lot of

140
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 6: new characters coming in with the intent that you would

141
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 6: stay on and maybe take over if if other contracts

142
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 6: changed and whatever.

143
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 5: And so you know, you're perfectly positioned.

144
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean roll in and you stayed till the end.

145
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, stayed till the end.

146
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: Were we nice to you?

147
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 7: You guys are awesome?

148
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 5: Oh thank god?

149
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: Can you imagine.

150
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 7: Everybody but everybody.

151
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: That you was great, like the nicest person on set

152
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: to you, I wouldn't even imagine that.

153
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 7: I mean, that was that was one of the Laura

154
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 7: and I were talking for a second about that. I

155
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 7: think that's one of the interesting things is that, at

156
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 7: least from my experience, and I know we all have

157
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 7: different experiences, but there weren't bad apples. Everybody got along

158
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 7: and not that there weren't issues. If you're going to

159
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 7: spend twelve hours a day with people, there will be issued,

160
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 7: but totally well. And then you know, as some of

161
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 7: the ensemble players left and new people came in, it's

162
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 7: still kind of held its own, Like he didn't seem

163
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 7: to bring in bad apples, and then anybody who didn't work,

164
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 7: you know, it was a big enough cash that they

165
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 7: kind of.

166
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: That didn't work within the within the within or if

167
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: he had any issues with anyone.

168
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, within the group, you know, which was fun.

169
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one thing we learned with Chuck here is

170
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: that we're basically all dispensable.

171
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 5: Cost too much? That was his thing. If you cost

172
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: too much.

173
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 7: And how much you know, how many, how many different

174
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 7: things can happen to a character?

175
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I was going to ask you, do you

176
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: remember a storyline like your crazy storyline or something where

177
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: you read it and you're.

178
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 7: Like, oh no, no, but I remember. I remember my

179
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 7: favorite storyline for me, and that was when I got

180
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 7: you know, Kyle got hooked on drugs and alcohol and

181
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 7: you know, ended up burning down Amanda's dream house. And

182
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 7: that was fun because and I directed that episode. It

183
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 7: was great terms of because when you direct stuff, you

184
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 7: know you you know, you you're setting up camera angles

185
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 7: and moves and sometimes an actor will go, yeah, no,

186
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 7: that doesn't work for me right, and direct you're like,

187
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 7: oh shit, I just okay, So then how okay, you

188
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 7: know I got to switch this around in that around

189
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 7: so I could make.

190
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 6: You can consult with the actor like is it gonna

191
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 6: work for me? Yes, it is, okay, I'll direct that.

192
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly right. I could have a conversation with myself

193
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 7: and go, okay, that works, So I know I can

194
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 7: make that move. I know that's my I know that's

195
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 7: my master. So that was fun.

196
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe to let you do a stunt like that.

197
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

198
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I was a stunt man. So oh you

199
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 7: were doesn't that sound.

200
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 5: Drop that a model or were you an athlete?

201
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 7: I was never. I tried to be a model. I

202
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 7: did it one day and I horrible at it.

203
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're in the Model stunt Man. I like it. Now,

204
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: that's a series. He was.

205
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 5: Models Successfu.

206
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm writing it right now.

207
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 7: Yeah. But yeah, so I got to do a lot

208
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 7: of my own fights and stuff in.

209
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 5: What where were you stunt?

210
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: Like?

211
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 7: So there's a guy Hubey Kerkins who was Batman's stunt

212
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 7: double forever, right, and not Today's Batman but Yesterday's Batman,

213
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 7: and he had a school. So when I was a

214
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 7: senior in high school, my best friend, his dad was

215
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 7: a stuntman, and you know, we used to mess around

216
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 7: and fight and play and I just thought it was cool.

217
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 5: So you grew up here then this sounds like a Hollywood.

218
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 7: Ish Yeah, I moved. I moved to California when I

219
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 7: was in fifth grade. Okay, So you know we went

220
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 7: to stunt school and you know, four days a week fought,

221
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 7: crash cars, got set on it. It was the best.

222
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 7: But it's tough. Life's being a stuntman unless you're you know,

223
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 7: now an X Games guy, unless you can do things

224
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 7: that nobody else can do, it's tough.

225
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 5: Did you get injuries at all?

226
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 7: My ear drum twice? I think, you know, little cuts and.

227
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: Bruises because actors just hit you.

228
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 7: No. Actually, what we're doing high falls, and part of

229
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 7: being a stunt man is you're also on safety cruise,

230
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 7: so you you know, you set up these you know,

231
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 7: air bags and the air bay air bag. If you

232
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 7: fall and hit the air bag and you fall off,

233
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 7: you have people around it to protect you. And some

234
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 7: guy landed weird and he came up and his heel

235
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 7: came around and landed in my ear and he was like, okay,

236
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 7: I'm I'm out and I can't hear.

237
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 2: So did the other one and someone then give you

238
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: an opportunity to be in front of the camera or

239
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: what did you do in between this?

240
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 7: No? I never I left, like you know, at some point,

241
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 7: I think it was like I was out of high school.

242
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 7: I was working at GTE which used to exist the

243
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 7: phone company, the old phone Yeah, and doing stunts and

244
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 7: they're like, you know what, sometimes they like you to,

245
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 7: you know, do lines in front of the camera, you know.

246
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 7: And I was like, do lines in front.

247
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 4: Of Yeah, yeah, there's another way to say.

248
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 7: I want you to do you know, say lines? How

249
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 7: you know you do it? It's an end of a

250
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 7: scene and then you fall, you get hit, and I

251
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 7: was like, oh, So we worked on a scene and

252
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 7: I just thought it. I was like, this is great.

253
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: So that was the first time ever thought of acting ever.

254
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 5: Wow?

255
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: And so what was your first Sean?

256
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 7: Was there Amelio Charlie Sheen high school?

257
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 4: So what was your first acting?

258
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 7: I got my sag card as a breakdancer on a

259
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 7: May Company commercial.

260
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 4: Well, of course you did find that anywhere.

261
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 7: This lady comes up and she goes, can you come

262
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 7: in an audition for a May Company commercial? And I

263
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 7: was like okay, And.

264
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: I went in an auditioned and it's in my private apartment,

265
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: the cast.

266
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 5: Dancing stunt man.

267
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 7: So that's how I got my sad card. In the

268
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 7: Dave Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire on that side,

269
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 7: I wasn't at the shrine, but we were. They were

270
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 7: doing Pepsi and slice. Remember slice, Yes, and I was

271
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 7: on the board walk. I was, you know, in Venice breakdancing,

272
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 7: and everybody started freaking out and I was like, what's happening.

273
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 7: There's been an injury at the shrine and they literally

274
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 7: closed everything down. I was like, okay, so anyway, but

275
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 7: that's that was kind of how I got in. And

276
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 7: then dancing took me to Days of Our Lives. Oh

277
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 7: for two episodes, and then it was a year and

278
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 7: a half, So I think that's kind of.

279
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: Where a year and a half on days on days yeah, okay.

280
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 6: And that we were just talking with Jack Wagner about

281
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 6: what a great training ground the soap opera was because

282
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 6: you have to go so fast and do so many episodes.

283
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 4: There's no way not although I feel.

284
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 7: Like, at least for me, I feel when you're learning

285
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 7: lines that fast, it becomes about knowing the lines. Yeah,

286
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 7: you know what I mean. And it's like you kind

287
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 7: of all into these tricks of okay, I got this,

288
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 7: yeah right, and then all of a sudden, you're you know,

289
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 7: you I watched some scenes, like I watched the Little

290
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 7: Mountain space and I just, oh, oh my god, I

291
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 7: felt so stiff. And you look at it and you

292
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 7: thought you were doing all these things. You go, I

293
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 7: wasn't what I mean yeah or yeah right? I have

294
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 7: you ever done a scene and you go, oh my gosh,

295
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 7: I'm not that was great and then you watch it

296
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 7: and you go, that was just like all the other

297
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 7: fifteen scenes too.

298
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: And we did it. So it started and I was

299
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: the only one of us who was on it, and

300
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: they were like, don't be so hard on ourself because

301
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: like find a layer, find a layers, like Everason, it

302
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: was I made one choice and just had that one

303
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: choice for all the scene and something like the whole episode.

304
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: I had one choice for the whole episode.

305
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: But we're seeing it evolved.

306
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: But we were so young, like you really have to

307
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: kind of give ourselves a break and go. I don't

308
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: even know how complicated I could have been, Like maybe

309
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: that was maybe that was how I moved through my life.

310
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I had the one note.

311
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 7: Well and everything so quick. I mean, well, you know,

312
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 7: you spend fifty to three hundred grand day, you gotta go,

313
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 7: it's just a different.

314
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 6: Baby.

315
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 3: But we don't know.

316
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: Like we were, we were nervous, right, you're learning, you're

317
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: trying to make a good choice. You have to relax

318
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: to let it sort of flow up and down. But

319
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: you'll see, like if you watch later episodes, I promise you,

320
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: you'll see yourself relaxed and more layers will come in

321
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: and you go, oh, that was actually interesting that thing

322
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: that happened there.

323
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 7: It's funny because the review and I can't whenever I

324
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 7: watch stuff. You guys all seem natural in the flow, right,

325
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 7: So I think for I think, I think part of

326
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 7: at least for me, is like, you know, we're our

327
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 7: worst critic.

328
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely watch ourselves.

329
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 7: It's used to crack my ass.

330
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 5: Let's hear it.

331
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 7: So we have at the beginning, we had, you know,

332
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 7: and but I would get the giggles. So you were

333
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 7: I think you were the it there and oh my god.

334
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 6: We also like I was watching just because I watched

335
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 6: these episodes where you come in right, it was like

336
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 6: this just flash in time about like, oh my god,

337
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 6: but I.

338
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: Here's this weird situation.

339
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 6: I'm good friends with Josie who is playing my sister,

340
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 6: and she's married to you, and here you come in,

341
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 6: and then my character's supposed to like have this like

342
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 6: I'm sort of like mooning.

343
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 4: Over you and like you're out of my league.

344
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 5: But whatever.

345
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: So and we were just goofing.

346
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 6: We were friends, right, And then meanwhile in real life,

347
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 6: I'm dating Grant in real life, and Joseph's got some

348
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 6: obsession with Grant now with Courtney, and like, but Alison

349
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 6: and all in this one episode of this one stretch

350
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 6: of time that I'm watching, I'm like, oh my god.

351
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 6: And now and then Alison's relationship with Billy is still

352
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 6: sort of like sense because like they still have a

353
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 6: thing for each other and they dated in real life.

354
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 6: And then I'm watching like a Jack Wagner and Heather

355
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 6: on screen and they ultimately end up in a relationship.

356
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, No.

357
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 6: Wonder people talk about this. Melou's places like didn't like

358
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 6: this crazy must have.

359
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 5: Happened from the outside. Inside it was like, oh.

360
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can see why people really thought. But like

361
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 6: we all managed to come out of this crazy like

362
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 6: overlapping situation like everything was fine, like it was fiction?

363
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: But was it?

364
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 6: Did we It's like we started as friends and when

365
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 6: we had these storylines to play, and I remember we

366
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 6: just goofed around until action. But watching the episode I'm watching,

367
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 6: you're perfectly like poised and together and you're just playing

368
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 6: your character I'm like, we were just laughing, and I

369
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 6: feel like I'm still sort of giggling through the scene.

370
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 5: So you remember that, Robbie remember her? Oh, we were

371
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 5: just messing.

372
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 7: I remember the relationship in terms of what was written.

373
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 7: I just remember you having so much fun. And I

374
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 7: was doing a play at one point and I had

375
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 7: to have an Italian accent, and do you remember I

376
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 7: annoyed the ship out of the crew and you were

377
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 7: part of it. So yeah, because no way for me,

378
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 7: and you in a perfect accent back and I was like,

379
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 7: oh my god. So I remember. I remember walking up

380
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 7: I remember walking up the stairs and walking the balcony

381
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 7: and turning it down to you. People must have been like.

382
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 5: Is this in between shots?

383
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 8: I was like, on set, things go and there was

384
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 8: It was just perfect, hilarious.

385
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 7: You guys are so yeah. Everybody. So many people were like.

386
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 5: And then it's.

387
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 4: Rolling and you're like, yeah, and my character was such awe.

388
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 7: I don't know. Do you remember like two in the

389
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 7: morning at Kyle's place and I don't know if it

390
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 7: was us. I think it was us, But it's like

391
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 7: things are running late right Saturday night. Everybody wants to

392
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 7: go home. We're doing a scene and we started laughing

393
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 7: and couldn't do the dialogue. And it went on. It

394
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 7: was like five and people were so pissed. And it

395
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 7: was that laugh where you get sweaty. For me, every

396
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 7: time I looked in your eyes, I would start laughing again.

397
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: That was a problem.

398
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 6: And I guess you know what, now that you mentioned this,

399
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 6: I think I am to blame for all of this

400
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 6: because I right, like, stop.

401
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 4: Am I a common denominator and problem?

402
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 7: I think you were the problem.

403
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 5: And everybody.

404
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 7: But it was a great problem. I mean, if you

405
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 7: can go to work and have laughs like that, yeah,

406
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 7: it's good.

407
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 4: It's like trying to stop laughing in church likes.

408
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 5: So yeah, but.

409
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: Also we're outside of you guys ruining everything by laughing.

410
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: For cakes. It ran like top like by the time

411
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: we were in season five, like they could tell you

412
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: you'll be here at this time and you were on

413
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: set within like twenty minutes, which is so rare, Like

414
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: they ran it. They knew when you'd get there and

415
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: we would leave, how long stuff would take. Yeah, that's

416
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: really weird. There's no It was Harry. Yeah, Harry said.

417
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 5: Harry and his minions.

418
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: Everybody was just remember his fart machine.

419
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, you walk on the hall and you'd be like,

420
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 7: was that and it was him following people around with

421
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 7: his fart machine? Yeah, which I fully appreciated. Yeah, but

422
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 7: I think you need that, Yes, right, you have to

423
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 7: because we're as lucky, you know, we are to have

424
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 7: had that the luck to be and that was amazing.

425
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: And you're working and especially with the storyline that you're

426
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: having to learn and then say and act out, and

427
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 2: every time the camera's rolling, it's like all this serious,

428
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: you know, it's like all the serious like betrayals and

429
00:20:59,359 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: stuff going on.

430
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 5: You do need that, specifically on a show like that,

431
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 5: I think.

432
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 6: So do you feel like now, I mean, thirty five

433
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 6: years of past scary to say, but like what roles

434
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 6: or what characters do you feel like people associate you with?

435
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 7: Oh man, that's a good question. I think Kyle McBride

436
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 7: a lot, you mean specifically from the work that I've done. Yeah,

437
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 7: just like yeah, probably crys Lorenzo a lot. I mean

438
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 7: from silk Stocking. It was before cable TV existed, and

439
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 7: when cable no I'm sorry it wasn't. It was a

440
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 7: CBS had a cable channel early on, and they did

441
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 7: this thing called crime Time after primetime, and at some

442
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 7: point it had a pretty big underground following, and Jeff

443
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 7: Skansky said, you know what, we should put this on

444
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 7: primetime and no, Aaron Spelling did and they talked about

445
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 7: it in the midnight hour. They backed out because they said,

446
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 7: if a network TV does a deal with cable, it

447
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 7: will look horrible. And then HBO shows up, like all

448
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 7: these real cable shows show up, and it would have

449
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 7: been a home run. And he didn't do it. But so,

450
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 7: long story short, Cris Lorenzo, I think for me, and

451
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 7: that was.

452
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 4: Also like a two that was a two character lead show.

453
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 7: So yeah, it was show just the two of you to.

454
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: Then a larger ensemble.

455
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 7: Who was the co star on Mitchie Capture? She was great.

456
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 7: We shot in San Diego for no money.

457
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 5: And that wasn't wasn't that like a sexy thing?

458
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 6: It was?

459
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 7: It was Crimes of Passion.

460
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 6: Okay, So so crimes in Lingerie a lot, right, I know.

461
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 7: If they made that, I probably here's the Lingerie detectics.

462
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: So after year five when so many original cast members left, Yeah,

463
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: did six feel different or did you notice anything?

464
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, no, it was wow. No, I didn't.

465
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: That's how much you missed us, Laura.

466
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, not at all.

467
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: Honestly, I guess.

468
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 4: After five.

469
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, five, because you came on your one.

470
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 4: As a guest and then two as a regular.

471
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 7: Got it.

472
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,880

631
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 2: And but she got something lovely, more subtle, and I

632
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: was already I could see from this side that it

633
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: was going to work probably better because that sweet spot

634
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: of the.

635
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 5: Drama he didn't get it in, but the.

636
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: Subtlety he was going to work with, the mood on

637
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: the script that he couldn't feel it.

638
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 5: So I was like, please trust me. This is working

639
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 5: actually better.

640
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 7: So that's a good director.

641
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I could feel his I totally fell for

642
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: him as an actor.

643
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 5: You know, I totally know where you are.

644
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: If I ever act again, I'm gonna be like, Okay,

645
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: I gotta trust this guy. Uh.

646
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: Well, that was nice of being directed by actors.

647
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, Oh I love it.

648
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: Do you still direct?

649
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 7: No? I haven't. I did.

650
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: No, No, would you like to?

651
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 7: Yeah? Maybe at some point at some point. Yeah, teach

652
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 7: acting down in Orange County, like young young, like high school?

653
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 7: How is that up to college? So that's fun just

654
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 7: to do it and work with these kids who there's

655
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 7: so much talent right now, un believable.

656
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: What do you think different?

657
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 7: It does feel different. So many kids can sing and

658
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 7: dance and act. Oh right, and I see it on TV.

659
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 7: You watch shows and you know somebody you'll break in

660
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 7: the song and you'll be like, like.

661
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 6: Rightly, so many I wouldn't call it that anymore.

662
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm not.

663
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 4: There was a day when I could do all those things.

664
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 5: But you know, it's a muscle.

665
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 4: If you don't exercise, it atrophies.

666
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 6: But like I think that, like just young people have

667
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 6: so many ways to create, but their their craft out there,

668
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 6: and so I think that's you know, that's just a

669
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 6: different world.

670
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 5: We didn't have that.

671
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 4: We had to do the audition, We had to be discovered,

672
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 4: we had to be found, you know, but they can.

673
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 4: It was right out there.

674
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a very different time in that. But I

675
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 7: watch it's it's it's interesting to watch people with TikTok

676
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 7: or YouTube. Well there you know I have I'll have

677
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 7: a conversation with somebody who's learning how to act or

678
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 7: it's the beginning and they're like, well, I'm thinking about

679
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 7: my brand.

680
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 5: I'm like, wow, yeah, I think that create about your brand.

681
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 7: Well, I think I want to be like this. And

682
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 7: I'm like, let's why don't you lay the foundation first

683
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 7: and see where you are, you know when when you're

684
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 7: get really good at your craft. And I'm not saying

685
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 7: it like that, but it's just interesting how I think

686
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 7: being able to send it out there. And I've seen

687
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 7: a lot of them send stuff out there that they

688
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 7: would never get work from, and it's already out there.

689
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 5: Larry Moss would.

690
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: And kick them out and say get them out of

691
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: my glass. And when you're ready to be an actor

692
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: and open your soul up and get vulnerable, that ought

693
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: to think about it totally.

694
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 7: You know. He was just telling me to be the

695
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 7: guy now that like all the cell phones going up,

696
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 7: that being right there.

697
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 5: You know, what do you say as an acting teacher,

698
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: these kids.

699
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 7: Like, well, you know, the kids or the young adults

700
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 7: that I work with, I get to choose to work

701
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 7: with kind of. So there are some kids that come

702
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 7: in and could be very talented, but they won't let

703
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 7: go of the phone. They won't let go of you

704
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 7: know the end result, and that's difficult up so.

705
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 2: You know, an awareness of how they look all the time,

706
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: probably like we didn't have this.

707
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: So I never Yeah, you never saw what you look like.

708
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 5: You just did it. You had to trust the hair people.

709
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 7: They can't recop.

710
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: You never saw tillos on the hair, yeah, like even

711
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: before video village.

712
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: But also we didn't, like I never watched myself because

713
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: I knew it wouldn't hit me, So I never watched myself.

714
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: These kids are growing up with their image all the time.

715
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: We didn't have that, Like I was always remember when

716
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: you first heard your voice on an answering machine or something,

717
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: it was horrifying, Like these kids grow up with that

718
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: member that it was so rare for us to hear

719
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: our own voices.

720
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 7: I'm going to record this message twelve times.

721
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: And so how do you work with them and how

722
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 1: do you get them to be less self conscious? If

723
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: they're seeing themselves all the time. I think that would

724
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: have been impossible for me.

725
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I think some of them a lot,

726
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 7: at any of them. It's really about intention. What do

727
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 7: you want? Right? So it's not I'm not saying about

728
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 7: thinking about I need to make you X so that

729
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 7: I can have this. Yeah, and here's what it's costing me.

730
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 7: And you don't try totally.

731
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 5: It's not working to flirt with you.

732
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: But if they have in the back of their mind

733
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: what I want over all of this is to protect

734
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: my brand, this idea of myself. You can get them

735
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: through that, you really get them through that.

736
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 7: No, not all of them. I think so, I think

737
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 7: I think some. I think. I think there's that message

738
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 7: right now and there's a generation of kids who believe

739
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 7: the message of Okay, I'm gonna do it my way.

740
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 7: This is right. I know this is right. Even when

741
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 7: it's not in in the in the face of you know,

742
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 7: being sure, I think you lose opportunities of discovery.

743
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 4: Isn't it so funny?

744
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 6: Like we knew each other so many years ago and

745
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 6: we're here we are Who would have thought that we'd

746
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 6: all be able to come back together and talk about

747
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 6: this from where we sit now, Like, well, the generation, yeah,

748
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 6: like we're actually we're those people, you guys, we're the

749
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 6: old people.

750
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 4: And so where can we find you?

751
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,680

758
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 7: the inspiration.

759
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 5: I love it.

760
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 2: And then you have another one coming after that that

761

Speaker 7: And yeah, so Under the Stars will be out later

00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fantastic. He's amazing, Are you kidding me?

765
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 7: Well? He just and he and Tony Collette were great together.

766
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 7: They were they were great, and he was such a pro,

767
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 7: like he just wanted the best for the film across

768
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 7: the board.

769
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love that.

770
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 7: Yeah.

771
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: Would you say that Malory's Place was a good a

772
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 2: good what do you call it?

773
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 5: Like starting ground?

774
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: Not that it was your beginning at all, because you've

775
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 2: done other stuff some but for all this wonderful work

776
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 2: that you're doing now and wonderful acting and teaching, and.

777
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that was I think Melrose Place was

778
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 7: a great training ground and I actually think better than

779
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 7: a soap opera, you know, and I know it didn't

780
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 7: start out as a soap opera. You know kind of

781
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 7: got there, yeah, I kind of got there, But I

782
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 7: think it's different because it's slower, there's more time to

783
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 7: let yourself breathe a little bit. And on soaps it's

784
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 7: you know, as Jack Wagner says, it's just go, go, go,

785
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 7: go go. And I can see him liking that, right that.

786
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 7: I think that fits his personalitymore. We're both, but I

787
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:34,880
