<v Speaker 6>Chest introduced him that guys, you remember him as Kyle

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 6>McBride after five, six and seven of Meller's Place, after

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 6>playing another character in season.

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 7>I think few people that have done two characters.

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Different character yes, address.

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 7>No, they never did.

0:00:55.800 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 6>They never did well, they waited a while right between seasons.

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 5>Was like, yeah, it was there was.

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 7>A good I actually did a pilot for Aaron and

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 7>when it didn't get picked up, he said, hey, do

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 7>you want to come do the this is going to

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.839
<v Speaker 7>be on for thirty however many and I was like, yeah,

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 7>I like to come do that.

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah great, And it was such a different show. Like

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I was struck because we watched you. We covered the

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>first season and then I just watched your first few

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>episodes in season five, the show was so different show.

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 5>You think you were going to be on the same show?

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I think it was

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 7>you know, they, I think, I think Chuck and they

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 7>took the temperature of what was working what wasn't, and

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 7>they realized that what they had wasn't and and by

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 7>the time I got there, it had switched the full

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 7>blown you know.

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think they, you know, because we were all

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 5>there in the beginning. I think it was working very well,

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 5>Thank you very much.

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Starting disagree, No, I think the ratings weren't there right,

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>and then it was thirty years ago, doesn't matter, but

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't and three was the highest ever.

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, no, but season one wasn't working.

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 7>Right, Yes, oh no, No. Wednesday fixed season one for sure,

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 7>And I guess, I mean, my role on it was nothing.

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 7>I was an architect and I was I think I

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 7>went out with James.

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 5>You didn't go out. We just watched. You made a

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 5>move on her.

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 6>You were she married, yes, by the way, you were

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 6>Michael's best man or something, and she did kiss you back.

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 7>I was Michael's best by the way.

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 6>Something like best friend. And then you came into town.

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 6>Robb you across the line.

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.679
<v Speaker 5>You and Josie were in real life weds. Yeah, I

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 5>just gotten married.

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, well no, actually we know. Yeah, she got it.

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 7>She got Melrose and we had a wedding on Sunday

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 7>and she started on Monday.

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, because this was like episode twenty four or five,

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 2>and so it was within the year you were.

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it was interesting too. I mean I kind of

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 7>had a I had a front row seat of watching

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.639
<v Speaker 7>what happened when you were on in Melrow. Oh that

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:02.920
<v Speaker 7>think blew up, right, it did.

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember a very slow start and then it blew up.

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 7>But Aaron had that you guys did so much press

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 7>in the beginning, that's true, right, I mean you guys

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 7>did like two days in the studio and all kinds

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 7>of stuff. So when it rolled out, it was already

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 7>huge news and he kind of was a gorilla on Fox,

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 7>so it just had traction right away.

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Well no, not right away.

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>This is that court and he was talking about because

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 2>she was on from day one. So there was a

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 2>big launch and then everything fizzled out. The ratings weren't there,

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 2>the audience wasn't there, and then we did another big

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>launch the beginning of season two basically came.

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 7>On was she season two?

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>She was the end of season one and she was

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna do four episodes, and then they realized that, oh,

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>these romances, and then it became just three storylines of

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>people making out, no switch beds rooms. We jumped up

0:03:56.280 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to season five. I'm like, Jake is dating, but but

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Jane is upset about it, and he'd been like what happened.

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 6>There's it changes so much because our recap first still

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 6>the place. We're recapping every episode in order, so we're

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 6>still working our way through season when we're trying to

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 6>prevent ourselves from looking too far ahead. But because we're

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 6>prepping to see you and your character comes in season five,

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 6>we saw some episodes it was very jarring for us

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 6>to go, wait, these storylines are completely.

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>As Sam, your first character that you probably don't even remember,

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 5>That was that was one of the few key moments.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>That was right at the time where they were turning

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>the show into the Melrose that we all know and love.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 5>So you hitting on.

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Your best friend's wife, your real life wife, Josie.

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 5>That was like a moment we're starting to turn.

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 2>We're noticing that like the end of season one, things

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 2>are bad behaviors and stuff like that.

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 7>It's starting to hit you were really a part of that.

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah good, I'm glad that I was a part of

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 7>the switch of the heart of the show.

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 6>So wait, when you came in as Kyle McBride in

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 6>season five, did you? I'm assuming they just offered it

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 6>to you. They said, here's this character we have in mind, and.

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I done. I just left the show Show Show

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 7>Silk Stockings, and then I had to deal with Stephen

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 7>Cannell and we were going to produce something, but he

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 7>wanted me to move to Vancouver and in the midnight hour,

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 7>I said I can't move and he kind of went, what,

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 7>like like, I can't, I can't. I can't do that.

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 7>So I ended up auditioning for a thing called heart

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 7>Attack and Vine, which was Aaron show. It was with

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 7>Adrian Brody, me Heather Graham was a blind girl, Guy

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:46.600
<v Speaker 7>Leon and the director of Rudy directed it. And it

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 7>was horrible. I mean, it was great. The script was unbelievable.

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 7>It was so good, but it just didn't work at

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 7>the end of the day. And it's interesting because it

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 7>was it was very it was kind of hard hitting

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.359
<v Speaker 7>for TV at that time, you know, to have one

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.679
<v Speaker 7>of your leads be a blind girl and a snitch

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 7>and it's all all in Hollywood, kind of a blind

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 7>underbelly of a blind Now Adreen was blind and his

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:19.119
<v Speaker 7>girlfriend was Heather Graham, okay, And I think I think

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 7>Aaron wasn't ready to let go of letting something be

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 7>a little hard, harder hitting, you know what I mean.

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 7>And I just think ultimately it couldn't work itself out.

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 7>But it was a great idea. So the day it

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.840
<v Speaker 7>got canceled, he called me and he said, yeah, they

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.159
<v Speaker 7>canceled it, but you know, do you want to you

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 7>want to come and do Melrose?

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.279
<v Speaker 5>And did he say as a guest star or a couple?

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:48.280
<v Speaker 7>He said, I'll give you twenty two okay, two episodes

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 7>and then just kind of went from there.

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 5>And your wife was on it, so you started going.

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.039
<v Speaker 6>And this was also the time when season five, the

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 6>regular contracts of the original characters those were winding down,

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 6>and so I think they were doing a lot of

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.600
<v Speaker 6>new characters coming in with the intent that you would

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 6>stay on and maybe take over if if other contracts

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 6>changed and whatever.

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 5>And so you know, you're perfectly positioned.

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean roll in and you stayed till the end.

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, yeah, stayed till the end.

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Were we nice to you?

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 7>You guys are awesome?

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 5>Oh thank god?

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine.

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 7>Everybody but everybody.

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 2>That you was great, like the nicest person on set

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 2>to you, I wouldn't even imagine that.

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 7>I mean, that was that was one of the Laura

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 7>and I were talking for a second about that. I

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 7>think that's one of the interesting things is that, at

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 7>least from my experience, and I know we all have

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 7>different experiences, but there weren't bad apples. Everybody got along

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 7>and not that there weren't issues. If you're going to

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 7>spend twelve hours a day with people, there will be issued,

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 7>but totally well. And then you know, as some of

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 7>the ensemble players left and new people came in, it's

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 7>still kind of held its own, Like he didn't seem

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 7>to bring in bad apples, and then anybody who didn't work,

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 7>you know, it was a big enough cash that they

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 7>kind of.

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>That didn't work within the within the within or if

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 2>he had any issues with anyone.

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, within the group, you know, which was fun.

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's one thing we learned with Chuck here is

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>that we're basically all dispensable.

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 5>Cost too much? That was his thing. If you cost

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 5>too much.

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 7>And how much you know, how many, how many different

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 7>things can happen to a character?

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, I was going to ask you, do you

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>remember a storyline like your crazy storyline or something where

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 1>you read it and you're.

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 7>Like, oh no, no, but I remember. I remember my

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 7>favorite storyline for me, and that was when I got

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 7>you know, Kyle got hooked on drugs and alcohol and

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 7>you know, ended up burning down Amanda's dream house. And

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 7>that was fun because and I directed that episode. It

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 7>was great terms of because when you direct stuff, you

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 7>know you you know, you you're setting up camera angles

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.599
<v Speaker 7>and moves and sometimes an actor will go, yeah, no,

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 7>that doesn't work for me right, and direct you're like,

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 7>oh shit, I just okay, So then how okay, you

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 7>know I got to switch this around in that around

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 7>so I could make.

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.200
<v Speaker 6>You can consult with the actor like is it gonna

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 6>work for me? Yes, it is, okay, I'll direct that.

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, exactly right. I could have a conversation with myself

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 7>and go, okay, that works, So I know I can

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 7>make that move. I know that's my I know that's

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 7>my master. So that was fun.

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe to let you do a stunt like that.

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing.

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 7>Well, yeah, I was a stunt man. So oh you

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 7>were doesn't that sound.

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.599
<v Speaker 5>Drop that a model or were you an athlete?

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 7>I was never. I tried to be a model. I

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 7>did it one day and I horrible at it.

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you're in the Model stunt Man. I like it. Now,

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>that's a series. He was.

0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 5>Models Successfu.

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm writing it right now.

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. But yeah, so I got to do a lot

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 7>of my own fights and stuff in.

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:07.960
<v Speaker 5>What where were you stunt?

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 7>So there's a guy Hubey Kerkins who was Batman's stunt

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 7>double forever, right, and not Today's Batman but Yesterday's Batman,

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:19.719
<v Speaker 7>and he had a school. So when I was a

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 7>senior in high school, my best friend, his dad was

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 7>a stuntman, and you know, we used to mess around

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 7>and fight and play and I just thought it was cool.

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 5>So you grew up here then this sounds like a Hollywood.

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 7>Ish Yeah, I moved. I moved to California when I

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 7>was in fifth grade. Okay, So you know we went

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.840
<v Speaker 7>to stunt school and you know, four days a week fought,

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 7>crash cars, got set on it. It was the best.

0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 7>But it's tough. Life's being a stuntman unless you're you know,

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 7>now an X Games guy, unless you can do things

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 7>that nobody else can do, it's tough.

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 5>Did you get injuries at all?

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 7>My ear drum twice? I think, you know, little cuts and.

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Bruises because actors just hit you.

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 7>No. Actually, what we're doing high falls, and part of

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 7>being a stunt man is you're also on safety cruise,

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 7>so you you know, you set up these you know,

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 7>air bags and the air bay air bag. If you

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 7>fall and hit the air bag and you fall off,

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 7>you have people around it to protect you. And some

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 7>guy landed weird and he came up and his heel

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 7>came around and landed in my ear and he was like, okay,

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 7>I'm I'm out and I can't hear.

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.719
<v Speaker 2>So did the other one and someone then give you

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to be in front of the camera or

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 2>what did you do in between this?

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 7>No? I never I left, like you know, at some point,

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 7>I think it was like I was out of high school.

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 7>I was working at GTE which used to exist the

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 7>phone company, the old phone Yeah, and doing stunts and

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 7>they're like, you know what, sometimes they like you to,

0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 7>you know, do lines in front of the camera, you know.

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 7>And I was like, do lines in front.

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Of Yeah, yeah, there's another way to say.

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.719
<v Speaker 7>I want you to do you know, say lines? How

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 7>you know you do it? It's an end of a

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 7>scene and then you fall, you get hit, and I

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 7>was like, oh, So we worked on a scene and

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 7>I just thought it. I was like, this is great.

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.840
<v Speaker 1>So that was the first time ever thought of acting ever.

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 5>Wow?

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 2>And so what was your first Sean?

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 7>Was there Amelio Charlie Sheen high school?

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 4>So what was your first acting?

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 7>I got my sag card as a breakdancer on a

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 7>May Company commercial.

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, of course you did find that anywhere.

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 7>This lady comes up and she goes, can you come

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 7>in an audition for a May Company commercial? And I

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 7>was like okay, And.

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I went in an auditioned and it's in my private apartment,

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the cast.

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 5>Dancing stunt man.

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 7>So that's how I got my sad card. In the

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 7>Dave Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire on that side,

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 7>I wasn't at the shrine, but we were. They were

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 7>doing Pepsi and slice. Remember slice, Yes, and I was

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 7>on the board walk. I was, you know, in Venice breakdancing,

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.319
<v Speaker 7>and everybody started freaking out and I was like, what's happening.

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.679
<v Speaker 7>There's been an injury at the shrine and they literally

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 7>closed everything down. I was like, okay, so anyway, but

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 7>that's that was kind of how I got in. And

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 7>then dancing took me to Days of Our Lives. Oh

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 7>for two episodes, and then it was a year and

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 7>a half, So I think that's kind of.

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Where a year and a half on days on days yeah, okay.

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 6>And that we were just talking with Jack Wagner about

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 6>what a great training ground the soap opera was because

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 6>you have to go so fast and do so many episodes.

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 4>There's no way not although I feel.

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 7>Like, at least for me, I feel when you're learning

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 7>lines that fast, it becomes about knowing the lines. Yeah,

0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 7>you know what I mean. And it's like you kind

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 7>of all into these tricks of okay, I got this,

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.200
<v Speaker 7>yeah right, and then all of a sudden, you're you know,

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 7>you I watched some scenes, like I watched the Little

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 7>Mountain space and I just, oh, oh my god, I

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 7>felt so stiff. And you look at it and you

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 7>thought you were doing all these things. You go, I

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 7>wasn't what I mean yeah or yeah right? I have

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 7>you ever done a scene and you go, oh my gosh,

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm not that was great and then you watch it

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 7>and you go, that was just like all the other

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 7>fifteen scenes too.

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 1>And we did it. So it started and I was

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the only one of us who was on it, and

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 1>they were like, don't be so hard on ourself because

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>like find a layer, find a layers, like Everason, it

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 1>was I made one choice and just had that one

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 1>choice for all the scene and something like the whole episode.

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I had one choice for the whole episode.

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 3>But we're seeing it evolved.

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>But we were so young, like you really have to

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:48.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of give ourselves a break and go. I don't

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 1>even know how complicated I could have been, Like maybe

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>that was maybe that was how I moved through my life.

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I had the one note.

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 7>Well and everything so quick. I mean, well, you know,

0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 7>you spend fifty to three hundred grand day, you gotta go,

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 7>it's just a different.

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 6>Baby.

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 3>But we don't know.

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Like we were, we were nervous, right, you're learning, you're

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to make a good choice. You have to relax

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>to let it sort of flow up and down. But

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>you'll see, like if you watch later episodes, I promise you,

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you'll see yourself relaxed and more layers will come in

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and you go, oh, that was actually interesting that thing

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>that happened there.

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 7>It's funny because the review and I can't whenever I

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 7>watch stuff. You guys all seem natural in the flow, right,

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 7>So I think for I think, I think part of

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 7>at least for me, is like, you know, we're our

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 7>worst critic.

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely watch ourselves.

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 7>It's used to crack my ass.

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 5>Let's hear it.

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:54.360
<v Speaker 7>So we have at the beginning, we had, you know,

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 7>and but I would get the giggles. So you were

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 7>I think you were the it there and oh my god.

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 6>We also like I was watching just because I watched

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 6>these episodes where you come in right, it was like

0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 6>this just flash in time about like, oh my god,

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 6>but I.

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Here's this weird situation.

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 6>I'm good friends with Josie who is playing my sister,

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 6>and she's married to you, and here you come in,

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 6>and then my character's supposed to like have this like

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 6>I'm sort of like mooning.

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Over you and like you're out of my league.

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 5>But whatever.

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.000
<v Speaker 4>So and we were just goofing.

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 6>We were friends, right, And then meanwhile in real life,

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 6>I'm dating Grant in real life, and Joseph's got some

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 6>obsession with Grant now with Courtney, and like, but Alison

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 6>and all in this one episode of this one stretch

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 6>of time that I'm watching, I'm like, oh my god.

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 6>And now and then Alison's relationship with Billy is still

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 6>sort of like sense because like they still have a

0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 6>thing for each other and they dated in real life.

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 6>And then I'm watching like a Jack Wagner and Heather

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.920
<v Speaker 6>on screen and they ultimately end up in a relationship.

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh my god, No.

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.439
<v Speaker 6>Wonder people talk about this. Melou's places like didn't like

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:13.720
<v Speaker 6>this crazy must have.

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:18.440
<v Speaker 5>Happened from the outside. Inside it was like, oh.

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I can see why people really thought. But like

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.879
<v Speaker 6>we all managed to come out of this crazy like

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.639
<v Speaker 6>overlapping situation like everything was fine, like it was fiction?

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 3>But was it?

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 6>Did we It's like we started as friends and when

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 6>we had these storylines to play, and I remember we

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:40.360
<v Speaker 6>just goofed around until action. But watching the episode I'm watching,

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 6>you're perfectly like poised and together and you're just playing

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.119
<v Speaker 6>your character I'm like, we were just laughing, and I

0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 6>feel like I'm still sort of giggling through the scene.

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.199
<v Speaker 5>So you remember that, Robbie remember her? Oh, we were

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 5>just messing.

0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 7>I remember the relationship in terms of what was written.

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 7>I just remember you having so much fun. And I

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.800
<v Speaker 7>was doing a play at one point and I had

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.479
<v Speaker 7>to have an Italian accent, and do you remember I

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 7>annoyed the ship out of the crew and you were

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 7>part of it. So yeah, because no way for me,

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 7>and you in a perfect accent back and I was like,

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.719
<v Speaker 7>oh my god. So I remember. I remember walking up

0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 7>I remember walking up the stairs and walking the balcony

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.560
<v Speaker 7>and turning it down to you. People must have been like.

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 5>Is this in between shots?

0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 8>I was like, on set, things go and there was

0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 8>It was just perfect, hilarious.

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:46.160
<v Speaker 7>You guys are so yeah. Everybody. So many people were like.

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 5>And then it's.

0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Rolling and you're like, yeah, and my character was such awe.

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.919
<v Speaker 7>I don't know. Do you remember like two in the

0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 7>morning at Kyle's place and I don't know if it

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:04.199
<v Speaker 7>was us. I think it was us, But it's like

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 7>things are running late right Saturday night. Everybody wants to

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 7>go home. We're doing a scene and we started laughing

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 7>and couldn't do the dialogue. And it went on. It

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:19.159
<v Speaker 7>was like five and people were so pissed. And it

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:24.360
<v Speaker 7>was that laugh where you get sweaty. For me, every

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 7>time I looked in your eyes, I would start laughing again.

0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 3>That was a problem.

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 6>And I guess you know what, now that you mentioned this,

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 6>I think I am to blame for all of this

0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:37.120
<v Speaker 6>because I right, like, stop.

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.160
<v Speaker 4>Am I a common denominator and problem?

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:41.680
<v Speaker 7>I think you were the problem.

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:44.520
<v Speaker 5>And everybody.

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.440
<v Speaker 7>But it was a great problem. I mean, if you

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.360
<v Speaker 7>can go to work and have laughs like that, yeah,

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:51.159
<v Speaker 7>it's good.

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:54.040
<v Speaker 4>It's like trying to stop laughing in church likes.

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, but.

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Also we're outside of you guys ruining everything by laughing.

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>For cakes. It ran like top like by the time

0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 1>we were in season five, like they could tell you

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>you'll be here at this time and you were on

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 1>set within like twenty minutes, which is so rare, Like

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.840
<v Speaker 1>they ran it. They knew when you'd get there and

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 1>we would leave, how long stuff would take. Yeah, that's

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:17.640
<v Speaker 1>really weird. There's no It was Harry. Yeah, Harry said.

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 5>Harry and his minions.

0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Everybody was just remember his fart machine.

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, right, you walk on the hall and you'd be like,

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 7>was that and it was him following people around with

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.679
<v Speaker 7>his fart machine? Yeah, which I fully appreciated. Yeah, but

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.280
<v Speaker 7>I think you need that, Yes, right, you have to

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:42.560
<v Speaker 7>because we're as lucky, you know, we are to have

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 7>had that the luck to be and that was amazing.

0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 2>And you're working and especially with the storyline that you're

0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.600
<v Speaker 2>having to learn and then say and act out, and

0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:56.199
<v Speaker 2>every time the camera's rolling, it's like all this serious,

0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like all the serious like betrayals and

0:20:59.359 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>stuff going on.

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.600
<v Speaker 5>You do need that, specifically on a show like that,

0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 5>I think.

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 6>So do you feel like now, I mean, thirty five

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 6>years of past scary to say, but like what roles

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 6>or what characters do you feel like people associate you with?

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 7>Oh man, that's a good question. I think Kyle McBride

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:25.880
<v Speaker 7>a lot, you mean specifically from the work that I've done. Yeah,

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:30.200
<v Speaker 7>just like yeah, probably crys Lorenzo a lot. I mean

0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 7>from silk Stocking. It was before cable TV existed, and

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 7>when cable no I'm sorry it wasn't. It was a

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:44.679
<v Speaker 7>CBS had a cable channel early on, and they did

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.399
<v Speaker 7>this thing called crime Time after primetime, and at some

0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:51.640
<v Speaker 7>point it had a pretty big underground following, and Jeff

0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.880
<v Speaker 7>Skansky said, you know what, we should put this on

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:59.640
<v Speaker 7>primetime and no, Aaron Spelling did and they talked about

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 7>it in the midnight hour. They backed out because they said,

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:06.480
<v Speaker 7>if a network TV does a deal with cable, it

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:10.760
<v Speaker 7>will look horrible. And then HBO shows up, like all

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 7>these real cable shows show up, and it would have

0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 7>been a home run. And he didn't do it. But so,

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:22.159
<v Speaker 7>long story short, Cris Lorenzo, I think for me, and

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 7>that was.

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Also like a two that was a two character lead show.

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 7>So yeah, it was show just the two of you to.

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Then a larger ensemble.

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 7>Who was the co star on Mitchie Capture? She was great.

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 7>We shot in San Diego for no money.

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.840
<v Speaker 5>And that wasn't wasn't that like a sexy thing?

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 6>It was?

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:42.640
<v Speaker 7>It was Crimes of Passion.

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:50.440
<v Speaker 6>Okay, So so crimes in Lingerie a lot, right, I know.

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:56.760
<v Speaker 7>If they made that, I probably here's the Lingerie detectics.

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>So after year five when so many original cast members left, Yeah,

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:09.879
<v Speaker 1>did six feel different or did you notice anything?

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:14.280
<v Speaker 7>I mean, honestly, no, it was wow. No, I didn't.

0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:15.720
<v Speaker 1>That's how much you missed us, Laura.

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:16.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, not at all.

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, I guess.

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:20.680
<v Speaker 4>After five.

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, five, because you came on your one.

0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:27.760
<v Speaker 4>As a guest and then two as a regular.

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:28.280
<v Speaker 7>Got it.

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Let me rephrase my question. Did you notice when we left?

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 3>I guess that's a real question.

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 4>Does it even matter to you?

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:39.400
<v Speaker 5>You remember? Everyone was like one.

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Of those things like did the party go on after

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I left?

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah? I feel like, don't you feel like, especially with television? Well,

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 7>I guess both. But you know, you're working long days

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 7>and when when somebody leaves or you leave and you

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 7>move on to another show, there's no time like to

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:02.639
<v Speaker 7>I really hang out with anybody after you know, I

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 7>moved down to other shows? Yeah? No, or I did?

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:11.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah in terms of focus going somewhere else, yeah, right,

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 7>because you left and you went to allen Field. Yeah,

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:17.000
<v Speaker 7>and you guys must have had crazy days.

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Longer hours.

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:19.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, did you miss those? Courtney?

0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:19.840

<v Speaker 1>something in the eighties. Maybe I'm not sure.

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:29.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I'm not sure.

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 6>Laura, what did you go to after I went to

<v Speaker 6>I got married after the show and sort of did

0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:45.160
<v Speaker 6>a lot of parenting sort of. That was my vie

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:47.240

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I saw the teaser and I recognize Michelle Danner,

0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:30.639

<v Speaker 2>in Larry's class and she was his assistant and then

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:37.560

<v Speaker 5>where did you shoot it? And what is it about?

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 7>So we shot it actually during the strike in l A.

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.639
<v Speaker 7>So we got we're supposed to be shooting hard to

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:47.680
<v Speaker 7>get again?

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 5>Was it not SAG?

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it was sad, But SAG gave out a number

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 7>of waivers if your contract agreed with everything they wanted

0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:00.639
<v Speaker 7>from the producer. Okay, right, he's kind of the reshaping

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:04.480
<v Speaker 7>of what we're all agreeing to now. And we do.

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:07.679
<v Speaker 7>I remember that, you know. The waivers were kind of

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:10.040
<v Speaker 7>the front end of that. Okay, so we shot it

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:14.040
<v Speaker 7>here and it's just it's a it's a family comedy.

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:14.840
<v Speaker 5>It looked fun.

0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 7>It's so fun. Yeah, you family about a kid bringing

0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:25.360
<v Speaker 7>his girlfriend home to meet his mother and the mother

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 7>hates her, and it's just you're like, oh my gosh,

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 7>and you just see yourself in it. And it's based

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:34.880
<v Speaker 7>around really good food. Yeah, you eat my god. Well

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:37.719
<v Speaker 7>it's funny because you know, I'm this pig in it

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 7>and I don't ever stop eating. And before we shot it,

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 7>I lost I lost like fifteen pounds because I wanted

0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:45.360
<v Speaker 7>to be that, you know, that skinny guy that can

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:49.000
<v Speaker 7>eat anything, can eat anything, he never gains weight, falls

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:52.320
<v Speaker 7>in love with the woman who can cook. That's the relationship.

0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 7>Oh No, it was funny and he's kind of you know, they.

0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Shooting order so you could gain weight to long man.

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I didn't gain it back. Well, I guess I

0:29:01.560 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 7>did gain it back, but it was fun.

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Time, and was it like a few weeks.

0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 7>Shoot, we did it in twenty six days.

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:10.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:13.200
<v Speaker 7>It seems to be everything now, even the other one

0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 7>under the stars. We shot in Rome and Kublia and

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:21.680
<v Speaker 7>we shot that in about I think thirty two days. Wow,

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 7>that's just now. Yeah, you know, get two or three cameras.

0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 5>Oh, let's just.

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Talk to somebody on the last thing I did. And

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like, it feels dark in here, and he said,

0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:32.800
<v Speaker 1>are we can adjust all that later? Like when you're

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 1>digitally remember lighting had to be perfect? Is you just

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 1>feelb to adjust a tiny bit. Now you can adjust

0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 1>so much so they can go so much faster. Aren't

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you surprised? Like you go to sit down like ready,

0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 1>go to sit ready?

0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Good enough?

0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's like doing TV totally.

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's back again.

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 5>It's camera.

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, now I do. I don't think I did back

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:55.640
<v Speaker 7>in the day because I always wanted another take. I

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 7>was like, I can do that better. You know that, young,

0:29:58.480 --> 0:29:59.760
<v Speaker 7>I know I can do this better. And then you

0:29:59.840 --> 0:30:02.720
<v Speaker 7>do four more times and it's exactly.

0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:05.840
<v Speaker 5>Do you remember that.

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:10.480
<v Speaker 7>Start giving the directors let him do one more Yeah,

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:13.120
<v Speaker 7>and you're like, but then you start to trust yourself.

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:15.320
<v Speaker 7>And it's when you start to trust yourself that you

0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:15.840
<v Speaker 7>get better.

0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:18.640
<v Speaker 2>It's so like it, you know, and also you know

0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 2>you're reminding me because I directed a film for lifetime.

0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 5>And I remember I had this great.

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Actor and he felt that he never got to it

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:30.560
<v Speaker 2>because when we were running it and rehearsing it, it

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 2>was so poignant and so lovely.

0:30:32.040 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 5>And he felt like you never got there. And I

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 5>recognized his that horrible feeling because you're ready to move on.

0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 5>But the crew is, you know, the the users like

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 5>let's go Daphne.

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:51.400
<v Speaker 2>And but she got something lovely, more subtle, and I

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 2>was already I could see from this side that it

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 2>was going to work probably better because that sweet spot

0:30:57.160 --> 0:30:57.400
<v Speaker 2>of the.

0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 5>Drama he didn't get it in, but the.

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Subtlety he was going to work with, the mood on

0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 2>the script that he couldn't feel it.

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 5>So I was like, please trust me. This is working

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 5>actually better.

0:31:07.200 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 7>So that's a good director.

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because I could feel his I totally fell for

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 2>him as an actor.

0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 5>You know, I totally know where you are.

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:17.480
<v Speaker 2>If I ever act again, I'm gonna be like, Okay,

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:19.160
<v Speaker 2>I gotta trust this guy. Uh.

0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, that was nice of being directed by actors.

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:23.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Oh I love it.

0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you still direct?

0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 7>No? I haven't. I did.

0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 1>No, No, would you like to?

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah? Maybe at some point at some point. Yeah, teach

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:39.520
<v Speaker 7>acting down in Orange County, like young young, like high school?

0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 7>How is that up to college? So that's fun just

0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:46.640
<v Speaker 7>to do it and work with these kids who there's

0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:49.400
<v Speaker 7>so much talent right now, un believable.

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 1>What do you think different?

0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 7>It does feel different. So many kids can sing and

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 7>dance and act. Oh right, and I see it on TV.

0:31:57.400 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 7>You watch shows and you know somebody you'll break in

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 7>the song and you'll be like, like.

0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:05.080
<v Speaker 6>Rightly, so many I wouldn't call it that anymore.

0:32:06.160 --> 0:32:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not.

0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 4>There was a day when I could do all those things.

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 5>But you know, it's a muscle.

0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:14.480
<v Speaker 4>If you don't exercise, it atrophies.

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 6>But like I think that, like just young people have

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:21.960
<v Speaker 6>so many ways to create, but their their craft out there,

0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 6>and so I think that's you know, that's just a

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:24.760
<v Speaker 6>different world.

0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 5>We didn't have that.

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:28.000
<v Speaker 4>We had to do the audition, We had to be discovered,

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:29.440
<v Speaker 4>we had to be found, you know, but they can.

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 4>It was right out there.

0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:35.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's a very different time in that. But I

0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 7>watch it's it's it's interesting to watch people with TikTok

0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:42.360
<v Speaker 7>or YouTube. Well there you know I have I'll have

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 7>a conversation with somebody who's learning how to act or

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:48.240
<v Speaker 7>it's the beginning and they're like, well, I'm thinking about

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 7>my brand.

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, wow, yeah, I think that create about your brand.

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:56.160
<v Speaker 7>Well, I think I want to be like this. And

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:59.680
<v Speaker 7>I'm like, let's why don't you lay the foundation first

0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:03.560
<v Speaker 7>and see where you are, you know when when you're

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 7>get really good at your craft. And I'm not saying

0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 7>it like that, but it's just interesting how I think

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:11.960
<v Speaker 7>being able to send it out there. And I've seen

0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 7>a lot of them send stuff out there that they

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 7>would never get work from, and it's already out there.

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 5>Larry Moss would.

0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:23.120
<v Speaker 2>And kick them out and say get them out of

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:25.320
<v Speaker 2>my glass. And when you're ready to be an actor

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:28.280
<v Speaker 2>and open your soul up and get vulnerable, that ought

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 2>to think about it totally.

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:31.120
<v Speaker 7>You know. He was just telling me to be the

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:33.200
<v Speaker 7>guy now that like all the cell phones going up,

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 7>that being right there.

0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 5>You know, what do you say as an acting teacher,

0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 5>these kids.

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 7>Like, well, you know, the kids or the young adults

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 7>that I work with, I get to choose to work

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:49.720
<v Speaker 7>with kind of. So there are some kids that come

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:53.760
<v Speaker 7>in and could be very talented, but they won't let

0:33:53.800 --> 0:33:56.600
<v Speaker 7>go of the phone. They won't let go of you

0:33:56.600 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 7>know the end result, and that's difficult up so.

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:03.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, an awareness of how they look all the time,

0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 2>probably like we didn't have this.

0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 1>So I never Yeah, you never saw what you look like.

0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:09.480
<v Speaker 5>You just did it. You had to trust the hair people.

0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:10.160
<v Speaker 7>They can't recop.

0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:13.120
<v Speaker 2>You never saw tillos on the hair, yeah, like even

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:14.200
<v Speaker 2>before video village.

0:34:14.239 --> 0:34:16.759
<v Speaker 1>But also we didn't, like I never watched myself because

0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I knew it wouldn't hit me, So I never watched myself.

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:22.080
<v Speaker 1>These kids are growing up with their image all the time.

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:24.200
<v Speaker 1>We didn't have that, Like I was always remember when

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you first heard your voice on an answering machine or something,

0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 1>it was horrifying, Like these kids grow up with that

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:31.799
<v Speaker 1>member that it was so rare for us to hear

0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:32.680
<v Speaker 1>our own voices.

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:34.760
<v Speaker 7>I'm going to record this message twelve times.

0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:36.359
<v Speaker 1>And so how do you work with them and how

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.919
<v Speaker 1>do you get them to be less self conscious? If

0:34:38.920 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 1>they're seeing themselves all the time. I think that would

0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:42.080
<v Speaker 1>have been impossible for me.

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:46.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think I think some of them a lot,

0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:49.239
<v Speaker 7>at any of them. It's really about intention. What do

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:51.799
<v Speaker 7>you want? Right? So it's not I'm not saying about

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:55.880
<v Speaker 7>thinking about I need to make you X so that

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 7>I can have this. Yeah, and here's what it's costing me.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 7>And you don't try totally.

0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:04.480
<v Speaker 5>It's not working to flirt with you.

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:07.280
<v Speaker 1>But if they have in the back of their mind

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 1>what I want over all of this is to protect

0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 1>my brand, this idea of myself. You can get them

0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:14.560
<v Speaker 1>through that, you really get them through that.

0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:18.239
<v Speaker 7>No, not all of them. I think so, I think

0:35:18.360 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 7>I think some. I think. I think there's that message

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:24.880
<v Speaker 7>right now and there's a generation of kids who believe

0:35:24.960 --> 0:35:27.839
<v Speaker 7>the message of Okay, I'm gonna do it my way.

0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:30.239
<v Speaker 7>This is right. I know this is right. Even when

0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:34.279
<v Speaker 7>it's not in in the in the face of you know,

0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 7>being sure, I think you lose opportunities of discovery.

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:41.720
<v Speaker 4>Isn't it so funny?

0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:44.960
<v Speaker 6>Like we knew each other so many years ago and

0:35:45.000 --> 0:35:46.799
<v Speaker 6>we're here we are Who would have thought that we'd

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 6>all be able to come back together and talk about

0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:53.760
<v Speaker 6>this from where we sit now, Like, well, the generation, yeah,

0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:56.440
<v Speaker 6>like we're actually we're those people, you guys, we're the

0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:57.000
<v Speaker 6>old people.

0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:02.880

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:45.520
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Would you say that Malory's Place was a good a

0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:49.839
<v Speaker 2>good what do you call it?

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:50.800
<v Speaker 5>Like starting ground?

0:36:50.800 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Not that it was your beginning at all, because you've

0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:55.719
<v Speaker 2>done other stuff some but for all this wonderful work

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:58.319
<v Speaker 2>that you're doing now and wonderful acting and teaching, and.

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:03.799
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think that was I think Melrose Place was

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:07.919
<v Speaker 7>a great training ground and I actually think better than

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 7>a soap opera, you know, and I know it didn't

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:15.120
<v Speaker 7>start out as a soap opera. You know kind of

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 7>got there, yeah, I kind of got there, But I

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:21.839
<v Speaker 7>think it's different because it's slower, there's more time to

0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:25.440
<v Speaker 7>let yourself breathe a little bit. And on soaps it's

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:27.960
<v Speaker 7>you know, as Jack Wagner says, it's just go, go, go,

0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:31.000
<v Speaker 7>go go. And I can see him liking that, right that.

0:37:31.160 --> 0:37:34.080
<v Speaker 7>I think that fits his personalitymore. We're both, but I

0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:34.880
<v Speaker 7>can see him.

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:37.600
<v Speaker 1>He also got to sing do you remember because you

0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:42.440
<v Speaker 1>started to remember? All I need remember? That was his song?

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Was that was his song?

0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:45.440
<v Speaker 1>And all of a sudden he said that, and I

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:46.080
<v Speaker 1>could see him.

0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:47.399
<v Speaker 3>I was like I was in high school again.

0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 7>I was like, did you have a crush? It was?

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:53.359
<v Speaker 1>I remembered like it was literally like I went down

0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and and there I was in that time, going, oh

0:37:56.160 --> 0:38:00.360
<v Speaker 1>my god, it's that guy. Never I never pieced together

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:01.160
<v Speaker 1>until that moment.

0:38:01.719 --> 0:38:03.640
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, he was big, big thing.

0:38:04.040 --> 0:38:07.120
<v Speaker 6>Well, the best thing about Melrose for us is that

0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:09.879
<v Speaker 6>we've got this wonderful group of friends that we can

0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:12.359
