<v Speaker 3>Silver Fox. That's right, that's me Hello that hi.

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, it's been a minute.

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Yes it does.

<v Speaker 1>We have just thirteen reveriting the Roy Randolph episodes on

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>our podcast Season four. You made quite a splash, quite

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>an impression on all the ladies in the show. But now,

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>as Tory and I are watching the show back for

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the first time and seeing what really happened, you know,

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 1>from a from a viewer's fans perspective, we have to

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>tell you Roy Randolph's given us kind of creepy vibes.

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>What do you think I mean, I think he's sexy,

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 2>but she means in like how it plays out.

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're a little close for comfort with the with

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the co eds there.

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 3>I think I think I was. I think I was

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.479
<v Speaker 3>playing the theatrical camp so it's not quite bad guy,

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 3>but in charge. I don't know it was. It's been

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 3>a long time. I'm supposed to remember this stuff.

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Well back then it was a different day.

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, right, yeah, yeah, I'm wearing this shirt because

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 3>this actually is a nineties shirt, as you can tell

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 3>from the collar. I've had the thirty years and not worn.

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh you dressed for the show. I love that.

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing. Well, everything that's nine days back in so

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 2>you looked on trends, you looked very current.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Look at you.

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 3>He is.

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Making an effort, you know what. And we appreciate that.

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>You had such your your character on the show. Did

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>you have you been able to rewatch any of the

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>episodes that you were in?

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 3>No, did you.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Ever see them?

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes? I did? Yes, I did. I know I'm a

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 3>terrible man.

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>No, good, don't watch. Let us tell you what you did?

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 2>And then no comment.

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>So obviously you were the director.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 2>It started with a chat on a hot tin roof

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.639
<v Speaker 2>that the girls were all auditioning for and.

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Met who was it? Kelly was auditioning Brenda was auditioning

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and Laura.

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 3>It was funny because when I got the notification for

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 3>the casting to go to go and auditioned.

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>For it, Oh yeah, tell us.

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 3>It was being a r S director who was directing

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 3>on Broadway and was taking some time off and everything

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 3>like that, and the horror director and then at the

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 3>time with Peter Hall and Trevor Nan and all of

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 3>that lot, they all had goate's and long hair, which

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 3>is what I had, so.

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Perfect, absolutely perfect for that part.

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 2>We walked in and They're like, nailed it for we

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 2>even hear the scene. Did you so you came in audition?

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:28.959
<v Speaker 2>Did you audition for my Dad? Do you?

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes? Yes? I did, Yes, I did, And it was

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 3>it was a straight I had just happened to be

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 3>one of my first roles in America because I just

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 3>moved to America and my Asian already had an agent

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 3>here from History. But and I was being sent up

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 3>for auditions and I got sent up for this one.

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 3>And I turned out and I'm wearing I've just come

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 3>from London, and I'm in London kind of actor style,

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 3>and I've got this huge military black coat on in

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Los Angeles and I'm wearing this thing. I don't know

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 3>why I'm wearing this thing, and uh. And I was

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>staring out the window because the view from the office

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 3>was so great, and I think your dad walked in

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 3>and I said, oh, a great view, and then turned

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 3>back to the view. I was so kind of like

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 3>this was a whole new world as a consequence of

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 3>which I don't know. I think I I just accidentally

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 3>nailed it.

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it was an accident.

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Would you like to read for us, because I'm still

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 3>looking out of the window. I took my coat off,

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 3>put my coat on the couch, sat down on the couch,

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 3>picked up the pages. It was just it was, it was.

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 3>It worked very well. For some strange reason, I kind.

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Of wish you had watched the episode back because I

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>want to ask you who you thought should have played

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the role of Maggie if it was cast properly with Brenda,

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>or was it or.

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>It was Jenny who kind of came into the mix

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 2>because she was just you kind of got talked into it.

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 2>You were just going to read for another role, not

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the main role in then Laura Kingman, the other one

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>who goes cuckoo, who literally this rule was everything to her.

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.359
<v Speaker 3>That's right, that's right. Now I recalled who do I

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 3>think should have played it right?

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>And I think you can't really answer that it was

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.719
<v Speaker 1>exactly the person. We do think that Shannon did an

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 1>amazing job.

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, because the whole point about it

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 3>is is that, I mean, even from Roy Randolphstanity, seeing

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 3>what could be expressed by this person given the given

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 3>the right coaxing.

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm just curious. So Kelly kind of came in just

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 2>was Ernest did it and nailed it right, right, and

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 2>then all of a sudden, Brenda goes to his place.

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Brenda knock knock knocks on on Roy Randolph's door

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>at night.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, that's right.

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>How did she get.

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 3>Er not to do that?

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes? I think that's frowned upon these days. But I wonder,

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 1>we wonder what happened? What happened when she went into

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Roy Randolph's house, right, because she got the role right

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>after that she did she did what?

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's right, So you're asking me to speculate on

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 3>what may or may not have happened.

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine Roy Randolph doing anything terror like terror.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I feel like she gave another audition and just knocked

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 2>his socks off.

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I will just just the sheer audacity to even

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 3>come round to his house.

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>It's scary. Expressly expressed, you were terrified.

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Every then you didn't know where this was going. How

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 2>did she?

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Did you know? Did you know at that point? I don't,

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>None of us knew. But did you know that your

0:06:54.920 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>character was kind of being used to have Shannon's Brenda's

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>storyline separate from everybody else's And did you know that?

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.159
<v Speaker 3>What? I was completely unacquainted with the show. I just

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 3>arrived in America. I'm going for an audition for show.

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know whatever, I'm going for it, and then

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 3>I get the part, and then I'm thrust into the

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 3>middle of it with you guys on a sound stage

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 3>similar to the sound stage that we had in Babylon five.

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 3>As it wasn't a sound stage, you have to stop.

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>At that time, it was not soundproof, no from LA

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>so you probably didn't know, but you were working in

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>at a time.

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 2>It's nice now, but thirty three years ago, a very

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 2>seedy area that was on It wasn't a sound stage,

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>it was an abandoned warehouse they turned into one, and

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>right next door they filmed porn.

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh really, yeah, I missed that. I mean, you guys

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 3>check that out. I didn't. I don't know.

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, the boys were all over that, but we weren't.

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 3>We were like, that's fun.

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I love it that you didn't. You didn't know about

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the show because the show was not popular overseas at

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>that time. Before it was.

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 3>It was the nineties. It was the most creative decade

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 3>I think occurred. It was a brilliant time to be

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 3>in Los Angeles. I mean I consequently went on It's

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 3>funny you stay, I was creepy and everything like that.

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 3>I consequently went on to play a bunch of bad

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 3>guys in Guests Evil.

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>You're so damn good at it.

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's I think it's the trick is that maybe

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 3>it's the European thing to be able to get Hello Darling.

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Right and then I mean, you're so iconic and known

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 2>for Babylon five obviously, but did you ever get recognized? Yes,

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Roy Randolph, you did, Okay, like people were in public.

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, a very popular show, and it would come out

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 3>of left field. I wouldn't be expecting it. Oh you know,

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 3>they get you. You're you were on nine o two

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.199
<v Speaker 3>or no, and for some reason the character had such

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 3>an impact on the world because it was the end

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 3>of episodes, at the end of the season, and Nike

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I thought I was a new regular. Did you an invitation?

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 3>I was. I don't know. I got an invitation to

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 3>go to Nike and pick out some clothes nice promise

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 3>to wear them in interviews?

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Remember that those days, Jen, Oh yeah, we got the

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>same back then with a good old day Nike.

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right. No, it was.

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Do people ever come up and say, if it wasn't

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 2>for you, Brenda wouldn't be off the show because she

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 2>chose this acting off.

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 3>London mobody seems to know that I didn't sleep with her,

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 3>even after all the shows played.

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Fans think it, Yeah, that's interesting.

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 3>So because because it's not clear, it's unresolved, it's it's

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 3>it's and then oh, please go to London to my

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 3>my my drama school. Did I run her?

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Where in the we never see her again? So what

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>have you done with Brenda?

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:03.439
<v Speaker 3>Ah?

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 2>What if they ended up getting married and had what

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 2>beautiful Brandon marriage, that's what you think happened?

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, I was looking up because just before I do

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 3>the podcast I think I was on the German side

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.839
<v Speaker 3>or whatever. But there's kind of fan fiction about that.

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>There is tell us, tell us, tell us this is

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 2>so cool.

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, it was five minutes. I just not

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:29.559
<v Speaker 3>noticed that while you're checking it out.

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>So there is fan fiction. Sorry, we actually do not

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>know about this.

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 3>I didn't read it. I didn't read it, but it

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 3>was intimated that there was fiction, so I didn't click

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 3>on the link because I was busy. Oh what am

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I doing? And I'll tell you something. It's if only

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 3>having been an acceor all my life here. Sorry, more

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 3>nervous about this than anything else.

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Guys, Well it was everything you've done. You're nervous about this.

0:10:52.960 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 2>We're just low hanging fruit. No, what do you mean nervous?

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.959
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean nervous?

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't know it.

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Just blushing? Are you blushing? Jason Carter?

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't think so. I might be. I might

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 3>be hot, but flushed. That's right when I'm talking to babes.

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 3>What can I do remaining professional?

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Please? Please? So you moved just before this to America,

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.319
<v Speaker 1>to Los Angeles, and you've stayed here ever since.

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Yes, funny, isn't people? In fact? I think that happened

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 3>at the beginning, which is why we've got America point

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.559
<v Speaker 3>out to people. You do realize that America was founded

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 3>by a bunch of Brits saying no to George, that's

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Americans suddenly magically appeared.

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>You just came a little late.

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, that's right. Fine, I came there, so I'm

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 3>a late immigrant.

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>And you've had such a crazy, like just fulfilling career.

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.079
<v Speaker 1>You've done so much, many different projects, like.

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's been well, it's it's yes, I think I

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 3>think I did all my theater in London and then

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 3>I came to America and didn't do theater ever again.

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Really is that sad in you?

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>You can't really compare the theater here to the here

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>in London.

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, I was in Los Angeles so at the time

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 3>during the nineties. I don't know what it's like now,

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 3>but it was basically a bunch of actors doing shows

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 3>for casting directors to see them and cast them in television. Yeah,

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 3>like Showcase, and half the audience would leave in the interval.

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Once you moved here, you never did anymore. Once you

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>moved to America, you never did any more work In Britain.

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:44.959
<v Speaker 3>That's correct.

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, wow, so you walked quite a lot before you came.

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh well, I was lucky enough to do the West

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 3>End four times National Theater.

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you miss being on stage? Though?

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.199
<v Speaker 3>There's a time of life thing. Do I miss anything?

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Do I? What I do is I Actually, I'm very

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 3>grateful to having had experienced it. I know what it's

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 3>like to walk out in front of two thousand people

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:29.839
<v Speaker 3>in a character. The hardest thing, the hardest thing, no

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 3>stage right there. The hardest thing was when you know

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 3>the science fiction thing, Babylon five, whatever that you know

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.319
<v Speaker 3>from your fan base, When you have to step out

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:41.439
<v Speaker 3>on a stage as yourself, it's a very strange experience.

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 3>Worst the first time I did it, I had no

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 3>idea what to do. And I don't know whether you

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 3>know him, great actor Peter Jurassica was in Babylon five

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.520
<v Speaker 3>on my first audition, on my first convention, I followed

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 3>him out on stage. Well, he spoke for forty minutes

0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 3>without fielding a question. He just talked me. I just

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 3>stood there like animal gon any questions.

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's like our Jason Priestley. I remember the first

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 2>time we were at the Emmy's and Jen and I

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 2>were going to present. Jason was doing something before and

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 2>we were so nervous because you know, talking as yourself

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 2>in front of and people are like, what do you mean?

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 2>You're an actor?

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 1>You can do it.

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I said to Jason, are you nervous? And He's like, Nah,

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 2>this doesn't bother me at all. And I was like,

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 2>this is the hardest part.

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, he's a special case. I think it was.

0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 3>It was a weird because it was a weird experience

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 3>because we're on for an out. We had an hour

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 3>to talk to the crowd. This was in London, and.

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 1>He took forty five minutes of it.

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 3>Well he did forty five minutes without fielding a question,

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 3>and then and then it was my hour and I

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 3>was on next after was all the cars were there.

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 3>I went on an accent and I got to about

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 3>thirty minutes in and said, anybody got.

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Any more questions, that would be me too.

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to hear a poem?

0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 2>I want to hear a poem, I.

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Said some of my I started saying to myself of

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 3>my parents, I write a drama school.

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Wow, you could say anything to me right now. I

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 2>could listen to you.

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh well, thank you, thank you?

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So did you have kids?

0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Did I have kids? This does a question that we

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 3>have after we've crossed the threshold and with death. So

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 3>how was your life?

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Did you have kids? I've just told you live with

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>your family, but.

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 3>A bit of romantic rock and roll historically, but.

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I have How old is.

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Ever? So? I mean nearly forty thirty five and oh

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 3>I have to do the numbers on that one. But

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 3>you starting, I had two. I had two sons in London,

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 3>and I had a daughter in Los Angeles.

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so very young okay.

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 3>And unfortunately divorces followed eventually. I'm not one a bad, bad, bad,

0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 3>bad bad man, but I am happily married and with

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 3>an Albuquerque.

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh wonderful, just at the foot of.

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 3>The San Dia Mountains, so I can.

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Go from there. When'd you move to Albuquerque?

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 3>Uh? You about a year ago? Still getting used to

0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.120
<v Speaker 3>the lack of oxygen here because of course you're a

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 3>mile high. So the air is very thin. Wow much,

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 3>it's sunny from most of the year, and it's not d.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's not one And then wait, so uh why where?

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Why there? Though?

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Why there? That's it's a weird one. It's interestingly enough,

0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 3>a friend of mine from thirty years ago in Los

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Angeles had moved to Albuquerque, and he s, hey, you

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 3>ferenty moving to Albuquerque so we can hang out and

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 3>everything like that. I thought about it living louis the

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 3>end of the time and moved and we moved. I

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 3>told my wife about it, and she she was looking

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 3>at the idea and thinking about it and didn't tell me.

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 3>She applied for a job, got a job in Albuquerque.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Can she moved four months before I did.

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.080
<v Speaker 1>It's wild, so we're just ready for a change.

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it had come to the point. Yeah, this is interesting.

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.080
<v Speaker 3>So it's a weird story of me in America. I've

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 3>lived in the low desert Los Angeles, I've lived, then

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:23.920
<v Speaker 3>I moved to Michigan so serious winters, then Louisiana and

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 3>so that's the swamp. And now I'm in the high desert,

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 3>so low desert whatever you call Michigan lake country.

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:32.719
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like you need to move to the

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Pacific Northwest next.

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:36.879
<v Speaker 3>That's a pretty good idea, just certainly.

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you can play.

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:41.359
<v Speaker 3>If there's time.

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, we keep talking about your past, what are you

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 2>going on now?

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Tell us about it.

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Tell us, no, I'm actually I'm happily contemplatively looking back

0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 3>and not particularly worried about the future. And yes, I

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 3>did the outrageous thing. I'm sixty two. I retired. Doesn't

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 3>mean I can't work as an actress.

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Enough, Wait, we can do that at sixty two, Can

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 1>we do it?

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 3>You can technically do it? Yeah, I mean I didn't

0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 3>reize I could get a discount on the bus when

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 3>I was fifty.

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 1>But hey, the other day I wanted the movies with

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.639
<v Speaker 1>my daughter and she bought me a senior citizen ticket.

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh but that's the weird thing. And I get so

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 3>upset now when I'm in the supermarket and no one

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 3>wants to ide me that happened.

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 1>You're just there, living in the now.

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 3>I suppose. So I suppose. I suppose that. I suppose

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 3>that's the thing I've always done, which is why I've

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 3>just been responsive to life rather than having any plans.

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Just like what doors appear, and then I go through

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 3>them if they appear, but they might not appear for

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 3>a very long time, and then they appear it or not,

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.720
<v Speaker 3>what we'll see.

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.359
<v Speaker 2>You giving her anxiety.

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.160
<v Speaker 1>She's a planner I'm a planner, but I'm the same

0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 1>way as you. I've never I've never had goals or

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:01.879
<v Speaker 1>plan as far as like what I want to do

0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.719
<v Speaker 1>next with my life. So I love that that.

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Don't promise yourself. It's like Christ thinks something. But don't

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:14.119
<v Speaker 3>promise yourself anything, and you won't disappoint yourself. If you

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.440
<v Speaker 3>set goals, you can fail your goals. Now says they

0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.160
<v Speaker 3>never promise anybody anything, and then you'll never disappoint anybody.

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, as a parent, that's a good one to practice.

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Whatever I mean, that's it sounds like you have beautiful

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:30.720
<v Speaker 1>life though.

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Well I do know, yeah, like most Well, I mean happiness,

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 3>this is for everybody. Happiness is a choice, no small print,

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.400
<v Speaker 3>no read this book, no do this. It's a choice.

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:53.119
<v Speaker 3>It's a choice. What did you just say happiness is

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:54.199
<v Speaker 3>a choice.

0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:58.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I am so embarrassed, Jason Carter. I

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.880
<v Speaker 2>did not hear happiness for whatever reason, it came out

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 2>pens and but Jen usually would react and she didn't,

0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, guys, I don't know what's happening

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:12.360
<v Speaker 2>right now.

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Is just a quote. People, he said happiness is a choice.

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:18.359
<v Speaker 1>I thought he.

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Said, my penis is a choice, and then he wanted.

0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.199
<v Speaker 3>It's my awful accent? Or is when I got to

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 3>Los Angeles and I'm meeting casting directors. Yeah he's great,

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 3>but can he lose the accent?

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Can you? Can you lose your accent?

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Do let me do it?

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:31.479
<v Speaker 3>Do it?

0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Talking like American? We just put him on a spot.

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 3>That's all I was about. Southerner. If I okay, just.

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Say I'm living in Albuquerque with my wife, say that

0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 1>in like American.

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm living in Albuquerque with my wife.

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 2>No, pretty good. No, I heard it.

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:57.119
<v Speaker 1>I heard the wife she did. I I love that.

0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 2>You admit you can't though.

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.159
<v Speaker 3>But the thing is, people say I've lived there for

0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 3>thirty two years or whatever it is or more, and

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 3>people said, you haven't lost your accent.

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Why would you?

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 3>Because yeah, why would I? Because here's it's different. It's

0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:17.200
<v Speaker 3>very common where I come from and where I come

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:19.159
<v Speaker 3>from people that go, oh, I love your accent. They

0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 3>don't do that, No, but they do here, so so

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 3>why would they change it? Also, Also, the nineties was

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.880
<v Speaker 3>great because I did your show playing a very nice man,

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 3>but I did play a lot of villains and at

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.959
<v Speaker 3>the time during the nineties, British villains were in in

0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.240
<v Speaker 3>a big way, you know, like the bad guys speaking

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.920
<v Speaker 3>charmingly and not taking your gun out but just going

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 3>hello down everywhere else. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sinister, but in

0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 3>a charming way, you know, darling villainry, which is what

0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, the Alan Rickman territory of life and camp villainry.

0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 1>You're so sexy. Sorry, tell your wife, I apologize.

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 3>We thank you. Goodness me ah.

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:06.520
<v Speaker 1>You can I ask you one question?

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Please do so you did do a lot of comedy,

0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 2>but you were on and tell us about your experience

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:16.480
<v Speaker 2>on Third Rock from the Sun.

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 3>That was actually a marvelous experience. And I was very

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:23.199
<v Speaker 3>lucky to have gone for that audition at that time

0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.679
<v Speaker 3>because they had had they cast it three times before me.

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know this and hadn't got the right person.

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Because they're the comedians. They're looking for something to launch from,

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:38.880
<v Speaker 3>some spring from. So I had the chain smoking, roll

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 3>up poet London guy, which I can easily do. But

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 3>I got cast. I got cast pretty much on the

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 3>set because they were doing all the auditions at the

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 3>studio Columbia. Figures. Can't remember, no, but I'm there and

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm on the phone outside in a British phone box,

0:22:57.440 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 3>of course, because they decorate sometimes and I'm on the

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 3>phone just calling my wife and suddenly there's an assistant

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 3>tapping in the window. You've got the job. What you've

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 3>got the job? Can you go to wardrobe and makeup? Whoa?

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Literally go right there.

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 3>It was all Hollywood. It was like you were doing it.

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:17.240
<v Speaker 3>We were in rehears because they rehearsed it, and it

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 3>is shot in front of a live audience. And John Lithgow,

0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 3>the massive, massive John Lifga is the nicest man on

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 3>the planet. And it was directed by David Hughes who

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 3>was also massive as indeed was what's the name that

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:33.960
<v Speaker 3>the daughter. I can't remember their names now, but they're

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:37.160
<v Speaker 3>all massive, and I was her boyfriend. There's the point

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 3>that was the gag, and then they're all chained smoking

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:44.479
<v Speaker 3>and doing poetry. But every single take that John Lithgu

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:50.200
<v Speaker 3>did was different. And the director, John Hughes, I found out,

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 3>directed the original Monty Python.

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow.

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 3>That hence the relationship with John Clees being on the

0:23:57.600 --> 0:23:59.719
<v Speaker 3>shore and stuff like that. But he would just let

0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 3>John Lift do his stuff. Just Ris.

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Kristin Johnston, she's yeah, very tall, oh.

0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:15.359
<v Speaker 3>But they were all super lovely and and being their comedians,

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:18.520
<v Speaker 3>they needed something to launch from. So having this chained smoke,

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:22.800
<v Speaker 3>self indulgent of writing the poem about myself to myself,

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:26.119
<v Speaker 3>by writing my poem of myself, it was already just

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:29.320
<v Speaker 3>like all intents and yeah, and they're all chained smoking

0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:30.639
<v Speaker 3>and they're all wearing black.

0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:34.879
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize John Lithgow was that tall.

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:38.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh, he's massively tall, and so is that so so

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 3>is David Houston, the British director there was Oh yeah.

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I love him so much.

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Brilliant, so sweet and so in charge, just different, different

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 3>stuff coming out of their mouths each time. Great people,

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:59.520
<v Speaker 3>we love that. Yeah, and very welcoming, very gracious, very hello,

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Ry, you know, very nice. Well, that's good

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 3>your show is having like that, But it's very often

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 3>regulars can be total guests.

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Which wasn't your experience on the show.

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't your show?

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 2>That never happened on our show?

0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:19.960
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no no.

0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:33.600
<v Speaker 2>How did everyone treat you on our set when you

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:34.199
<v Speaker 2>first came on?

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Very well, it was it was you.

0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Can't transition after seeing these like a less megastars were

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 2>amazing and then now be like you guys were okay, no, no.

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 3>It was it was. It was fair enough, it was.

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:51.439
<v Speaker 3>It was a weird one because initially I was a

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:54.720
<v Speaker 3>bit of fish at water because everyone had relationships and

0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:57.560
<v Speaker 3>it's all going on, and most of my scenes were

0:25:57.600 --> 0:26:01.520
<v Speaker 3>with Shannon, and initially, first couple of episodes, Shandon didn't

0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 3>talk to me. That's fine because I was in my

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:06.439
<v Speaker 3>own world as well, and I was more interested in

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 3>how the camera worked and stuff like that.

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I was young, But why didn't she talk to you?

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know who she talked to, but she didn't

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 3>talk to me at the time, but then then the

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 3>subsequent episode because I didn't bother Maybe because it didn't

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 3>bother me. I was invited to a birthday party, which

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:28.119
<v Speaker 3>was her twenty third birthday party.

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I think where was it.

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:35.679
<v Speaker 3>It was in a in a nightclub thing in Hollywood,

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 3>down by the Grime and Chinese I think theater, and

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:44.480
<v Speaker 3>there was a lot. There was a bunch of fights

0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 3>there and bouncers. It was a wild one.

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:51.959
<v Speaker 2>I was just a Thursday night out. But okay, are

0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 2>we talking bar one? Are we talking China Club? Are

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 2>we talking Rosy?

0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 3>No? I believe me even if i'd gone to those places.

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 3>I probably couldn't remember now.

0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Was I there?

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:07.359
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to remember this, did you?

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Did you g I'm serious? Was I there?

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I went to the party?

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, went Jason, but toured. Do you don't you.

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Remember was being there?

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I goeh? Were we there? We just came about it.

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:21.159
<v Speaker 3>Remember now, it's all overwhelmed by the fact there was

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 3>a big fight. I suddenly broke out from our primaries

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:27.399
<v Speaker 3>and don't know what it was. But of course the

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 3>tabloids decided there was a reason.

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 2>How did you remember, specifically twenty third birthday? I have

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 2>a good memory. I would never remember that.

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe because you were so shocked to get the invitation.

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but well it was it was I wonder what was?

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:44.520
<v Speaker 3>It was a weird one, and it was also an

0:27:44.560 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 3>interesting lesson that I had in life because the big

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 3>fight was happening. One of the guys who was fing

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:52.159
<v Speaker 3>I actually was. I was. I don't know what it was.

0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 3>It was the time of my life. I was in

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Jesus mode. I don't know, but I grabbed this big, hulking,

0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:00.240
<v Speaker 3>massive guy and just I'm holding him a whole him

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:03.920
<v Speaker 3>like this, Like the big man walks away the big

0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:09.520
<v Speaker 3>man walks away. You b calmed him down, and he's

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 3>trying to the door, and then the bouncers grab him

0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:15.040
<v Speaker 3>and the fight starts again because they're violent too.

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:22.359
<v Speaker 1>There. I don't know.

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 3>I think you would remember a big fight again.

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:31.360
<v Speaker 2>You'd be typical Thursday night out. No, every time.

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Because I got it involved, because I decided to pretend

0:28:35.440 --> 0:28:37.479
<v Speaker 3>that I could solve the problem.

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:40.280
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like you did. You made a difference.

0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 3>First second, more than the lost of people went crazy. Yeah,

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 3>I was looking for a fight. Don't calm him down.

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 3>I didn't say that, but that's it.

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Gosh, we wish we could.

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 3>It's lovely when she's thinking.

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 2>You're talking about me yourself into trouble right now? Wow,

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 2>it's just fun to catch up with our producers find it.

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, I have to know where that birthday

<v Speaker 2>party was. I wonder if we'll look it up. Wheat

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Was it at the Hollywood Athletic Club?

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:24.280
<v Speaker 3>It might have been. I was very I was very

0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:26.760
<v Speaker 3>new to Los Angeles, so I couldn't have pinned anything down,

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:28.720

<v Speaker 2>two of us, the habit. I'll never let it go,

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 2>will you, Jen?

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Nope?

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Nope?

0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Hold on, what are you looking at, Jason?

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking at Tory Spelling's twenty third birthday and I

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 3>can't find it either.

0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 2>You mean Shannon's Tory Spelling on the brain? Nor?

0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Sorry? Sorry, I'm old? All right? You young people don't understand.

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 1>We are not that much younger than you. Just know

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I want you to We're not.

0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:40.440
<v Speaker 3>It's the great leveling out as you get older. Like

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 3>my my younger brother, My youngest brother is seven years

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.480
<v Speaker 3>younger than me. Well, when I'm eighteen and he's eleven,

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:51.320
<v Speaker 3>that's a big difference, no relationship whatsoever. But I'm sixty

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:53.480
<v Speaker 3>two he's fifty five. Were the same age.

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>It happens.

0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:58.720
<v Speaker 1>And don't you like what age do you feel even

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 1>though you're sixty five? How old do you feel?

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:05.800
<v Speaker 2>We all have that number.

0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Are you prepared for some Jason kind of thought wisdom

0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 3>things is that some people get old. Bear with this one.

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:18.200
<v Speaker 3>Some people get old and turn into old men. Other

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:23.280
<v Speaker 3>people just become decrepit. That I'm that model. I will

0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 3>always be Jason, but the vehicle will fall apart.

0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:29.640
<v Speaker 1>But some people, Wait, you just called yourself decrepit.

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, yah, yeah yeah, but but but I'm not decrepit.

0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:37.480
<v Speaker 3>But I'm just saying my vehicle will fall apart, right,

0:32:37.680 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 3>but I will still be driving it. Some people turn

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 3>into something else. Some people become old people. I don't

0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 3>know what it is. I've met loads of old people

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:50.720
<v Speaker 3>who didn't you get a point. Yes, you remain You're

0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:53.520
<v Speaker 3>the same driver. You're the you guys have been driving

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 3>for the years you have. I can see you're the

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 3>same drivers.

0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Tori and I will ever become old

0:32:59.080 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 1>people in.

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:02.320
<v Speaker 3>My no, but that that's the point.

0:33:02.400 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 2>And emotionally.

0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 3>The weird lesson for this was during COVID. Yes, I've

0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:14.840
<v Speaker 3>done some strange jobs. I was a working for a

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:19.800
<v Speaker 3>wine liquor store and as a delivery driver in Louisiana

0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:22.960
<v Speaker 3>during COVID. Okay, and I had to go.

0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:25.360
<v Speaker 1>That was that was a necessity for people.

0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:30.560
<v Speaker 3>Nobody was on the road, so the police weren't stopping anybody,

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 3>because who was going to stop anybody? You'd have to

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.680
<v Speaker 3>talk to them. So we were the heroes of the

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 3>road in the medical profession, delivering liquor in Louisiana, in

0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:44.000
<v Speaker 3>loss in New Orleans, of course, but because of the law,

0:33:44.240 --> 0:33:46.360
<v Speaker 3>I would have to ask them for their birthday and

0:33:46.400 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 3>the holding their license up to their window, like how

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 3>dare you come to my door? You ordered the liquor?

0:33:53.080 --> 0:34:00.120
<v Speaker 3>But old people. I see old men, and I know

0:34:00.160 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm twenty years older than them. They're in the forties.

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:07.959
<v Speaker 3>But they had they appeared to be old. They had set,

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:13.320
<v Speaker 3>they had set, they had become, they had stopped. Unfortunate.

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:16.480
<v Speaker 3>So I'm My father died when he was seventy one,

0:34:16.800 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 3>ten years ago. But my mother said at his funeral,

0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 3>isn't as Brian, Brian has his name Brian? Or is it?

0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Because I always used to say to Brian, growing up

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 3>is optional? Growing up is optional?

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, very wise words, Jason.

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I stole him. I stole them.

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:36.880
<v Speaker 2>One last thing though, to Jen's point, because there is

0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we all have that one number stuck

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:41.400
<v Speaker 2>in our head, like you remember yourself at and for

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:43.200
<v Speaker 2>some reason is there an age.

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:46.799
<v Speaker 3>Well, I suppose it's going to actually be the most

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:50.279
<v Speaker 3>consequential period of your life as well as that sound.

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:51.960
<v Speaker 3>And that would have probably been when I went to

0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 3>Grammar School when I was twenty. I mean I was

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:56.719
<v Speaker 3>there when I was eighteen to twenty one, but I

0:34:56.760 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 3>was at Lambda, not the Royal had Me Acting school,

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 3>which of course was invented by Peter Frere. He sent

0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 3>me the shirt.

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I wondered why you had that shirt.

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Peter is okay, amazing.

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:17.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was playing Roy Randolph now and I did

0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 3>it totally camp and I wore wore top hat. Really,

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:24.400
<v Speaker 3>I was directing epic productions and I'd married somebody who

0:35:24.400 --> 0:35:25.400
<v Speaker 3>had a stately home.

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I just had an epiphany.

0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 3>Wait, I'm sorry about that.

0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:31.040
<v Speaker 1>What if this had.

0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Happened to you, guys, because I keep bringing up Brenda

0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 2>went there and married you or whatever and had babies.

0:35:36.920 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 2>But in the final episode that we ever see Brenda Walsh,

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:43.560
<v Speaker 2>she says to Dylan, give me something to come back to,

0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and we allude to the fact that they make love

0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:53.799
<v Speaker 2>one last time. But if we were to allude to

0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:55.640
<v Speaker 2>the fact that when she went to get the part

0:35:55.680 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 2>for Maggie the cat. She made love with Roy Randolph,

0:36:01.080 --> 0:36:04.960
<v Speaker 2>then technically she could go away and she could have

0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:08.319
<v Speaker 2>come baby and be pregnant or have a baby. But

0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:10.640
<v Speaker 2>we don't know who the father is. It could be

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Dylan or it could be Roy Randolph. Oh, my dad

0:36:13.520 --> 0:36:15.240
<v Speaker 2>would be so proud, right now.

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:18.319
<v Speaker 3>That's right. I don't know. Wow, this is obviously an

0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:21.240
<v Speaker 3>adventure that could have happened.

0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, these things that will never know. This

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:30.919
<v Speaker 1>is sad, but it's so great to catch up with you,

0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:35.160
<v Speaker 1>so much to see you and you will forever be

0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Roy Randolph.

<v Speaker 3>You're wonderfully nice. Thank you, and you're looking great.

0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:44.440
