<v Speaker 3>Ladies and Gentlemen, I Give you Katherine Bayless. Hey, y'all, Catherine,

0:01:58.520 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 3>tell us how you got into acting.

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's a good question, Okay.

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>So I started off as a dancer and I'm a

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>little Mississippi girl and got the dancing bug there, and

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>then went to New York City for school.

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 4>And then I fell into acting because I did musical theater.

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>And basically a manager approached me after a musical theater

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 2>performance and I.

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 4>Was like, oh, I'm a dancer.

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>She's like, no, I think you're an actress too, and

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I was like okay, And I auditioned for her and

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 2>then she starts sending me out. I'm like, oh gosh.

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I got to take it seriously. And I went to

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Williamsburg Conservatory in Manhattan, and that's how I really got

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>the bug and fell in love with it, and I

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>never gave up the dancing. I thought I was getting

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>up the dancing when I moved to LA from New

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 2>York City, and then every job I got basically I

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>was dancing and singing along with the acting triple threat.

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Triple threat, they call you a triple threats. You could

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 3>do it all. Oh yeah, So telling about the first

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:03.399
<v Speaker 3>big role.

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 2>That you got, Oh, okay, the first big role, Well,

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I will talk about the first role I got, which

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 2>was kind of funny. I moved to LA, I'd been

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 2>there for a week and I went over to my

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.640
<v Speaker 2>agency and they're like, oh, we had this great audition

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 2>for you. So I went in for it, auditioned, didn't

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 2>think anything of it. They called me back and a

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 2>week later they said you got the role. And I

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 2>was like, what do you mean I got the role.

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 2>It's my first audition ever. They're like, you got it.

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 2>So it was for bringing On Again the Cheerleading movie.

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, And ironically I didn't play cheerleader. I played

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 2>a quirky reporter that had multi personalities and yeah, I

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 2>h that was it. That was a big one. And

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 2>then the next big on the same cast, director he

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.839
<v Speaker 2>called me in for this movie just you wait, from

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Justin to Kelly, Yes, the American Idol Musical. And that

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>was honestly like a dream come true for me because

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>they got to do it all. And I I tell

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 2>everybody it was a paid vacation in Miami for like

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>three and a half months. And that was my first

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 2>big role. I mean, you name it, we did it.

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 2>And that's when I got the taste of Hollywood for sure.

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh sure, who directed the Justin with Kelly thing? But

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry that bring it on the first one you mentioned?

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 4>The first one? Oh damon Santa Stephane.

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, all right, Okay, I thought it was somebody else. Yeah,

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 3>So tell us how you got the role of Stephanie.

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember the audition?

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, oh yeah, So I remember I had gone

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>and for Gimmick Girls for another role, like a long

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>time ago, but here they called me in for this one,

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 2>and I was literally called gorilla girl drunk girl, and

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I went, huh, I think I have some practice in that.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 2>My friends like just channel the other night. I'll think

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>stright great. So I go in and the audition was

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 2>like barely any lines, and you saw the Norman Mayler,

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 2>you know episode and I literally had to like minute

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 2>taking off the gorilla mask and being drunk and they're

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 2>just they're laughing at me. I'm like, really, like, I'm

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 2>not really doing much. But you know, there's a fine

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 2>line between acting too drunk and then just being tipsy.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I guess, I guess I did a good job.

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 2>And that was my first audition and then they literally

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>roll and so I was so pumped.

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 4>And I didn't have a name yet.

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 2>So they were like, yeah, you don't have a name.

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, okay, just Gorilla girl. And then I went

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 2>into the table read and I know all girl were

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 2>in the table read and it was such and they

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 2>finally gave me a name and they said, oh, by

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 2>the way, this is recurring, so you're going to be

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>in the next episode.

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:45.159
<v Speaker 4>So that's what I knew.

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Like, yes, because I loved Gilmore Girls and I just

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.039
<v Speaker 2>love the best pace.

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Obviously I talked so so you'd watch the you were

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 3>aware of the show before you audition?

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I was ware of the show. Had I seen

0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 4>every single episode?

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>No, because it was the season, But I did know

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>the genre and I knew, like, you know, all the characters,

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 2>made most of the characters and everything, but had never

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.559
<v Speaker 2>met anybody yet. So I will say that Gilmore Girls

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 2>was probably the most welcoming cast.

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 4>I became buddies with.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 2>With Alexis like right away, and all those boys that

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 2>were in the episode, we all still like stay in

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.799
<v Speaker 2>touch for years, which was cool.

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Why do you think they didn't develop your character more

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 3>with with Logan in the last three seasons?

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:38.719
<v Speaker 4>Why didn't they?

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you, I'll tell you why. What happened, and

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 2>this is what I think. So they actually called me

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 2>back to work. They said they were calling me back

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 2>for my availability after that second episode that I did,

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 2>and I had booked a recurring role on One Tree Hill,

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 2>and so I was so bombed because I wanted to

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 2>do both, but it wouldn't work out because I was

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 2>shooting One Tree Hill in North Carolina, right and you

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 2>know when it rains.

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 4>At poors in Hollywood, you know, you're like, I can't

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 4>get a job to save my life.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 2>And then all of a sudden, you're like, I got

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 2>two jobs and like basically I'm on it. Like it

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 2>was crazy.

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 3>So you're you're over there in North Carolina with Chad

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Michael Murray.

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:24.520

<v Speaker 4>I was like, who's do you, Matt?

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 2>And not only is he a great actor and really

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 2>like serious about his craft, like he's just a really

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 2>good person. And we had some really late late late

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 2>nights on that shoot because we were shooting the whole

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Safarian I mean we shot until daylight. And that was

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>probably like one of the coolest experiences as well. And

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 2>so we have to know each other, all of us

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.599
<v Speaker 2>kids like that little life and Death brigade, little group.

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Right, yeah, fun group. We we just got to experience

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 3>some of them on this Let the party's over this

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 3>last episode when they're in Richard's poolhouse and they come

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 3>out and Dean sees them, and Rory's in the tiara

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 3>and Dean skulks away, and you know, Logan puts his

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 3>arm around her and says, we'll get you through it, kid,

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 3>come on back inside, you know. I mean, he's just

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 3>he is. He's so good, isn't he he is?

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 4>He's so charming.

0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>And I really thought that everyone was rooting for him

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 2>when he got on the show, and they wanted they

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.560
<v Speaker 2>wanted that love affair to keep on going forever and ever.

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Believe it or not, not everyone but I'm certainly one

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 3>in the in the rooting for for Logan column. I

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 3>just love this this new energy injected into the show

0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 3>because the first time I've seen the show, I'm just

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 3>it for the first time. I love this energy that

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.199
<v Speaker 3>he brings to this show. I love this storyline because

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, where's it gonna go? Rory's out of the house,

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 3>laurelized with Luca. It's like all of these storylines are

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 3>sort of kind of tie everything. All the loose ends

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 3>are tying up, right, so things are blossoming, and but like,

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.959
<v Speaker 3>where's the story going now? And it's like Logan, thank you, Logan,

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 3>thank you, thank you Logan. So so you pretty much

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 3>remember where you filmed the the glamping scene. Where did

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 3>you shoot that? Because we, you know, we were speculating

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.439
<v Speaker 3>on where that was. I know it was California, had

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:40.320
<v Speaker 3>to be, but oh no, no.

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 2>No, it was definitely California because I drove out there

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 2>because I remember calling my dad. My daddy gives up

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 2>really early for work. He's an attorney. He's crazy.

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 4>He get like three. So I was excited, like, Dad,

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm coming home from work, you know, And I'm like,

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't know whatever. But the heat. I remember it was.

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:00.439
<v Speaker 4>It was out.

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I want to say, like by Griffith Observatory area. It

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 2>was around there, like like somewhere around there.

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean that's you know, no, no, it wasn't too bad.

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 2>But the drive, the one that was the farthest out, well,

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the Disney ranch was where we shot the other you know,

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 2>the big scene like you know, when the jumping with

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:32.439
<v Speaker 2>the umbrellas and whatnot.

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 4>But that location was filled with bees.

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh.

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.560
<v Speaker 2>That was oh yes, that was my memory from there.

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>So here we are dressed to the nines, you know,

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 2>and we've got this fake champagne and which, by the way,

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I will stick by the end of the day because

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I drank so much of this ginger all but it

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.960
<v Speaker 2>has so much sugar in it. So the bees were

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 2>like everywhere. I'm like, y'all, this is not cool, like

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and we didn't know what to do. And like I'm like,

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna go put our champagne every year until we start,

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, filming, and then bring it back. But but

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 2>no one, I don't think anybody got bit which was

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 2>but but yeah, I remember that was a really fun episode.

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>And I will tell you what the working with Knny

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Ortega was like life.

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 4>You worked with him obviously several times.

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and his episodes really pop. I mean those episodes

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 3>are just filled with life. Every frame is the beautifully lit.

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 3>It's just Kenny's a master. Kenny's great.

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I will never forget. She's like Catherine, just

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 4>go over there and be fabulous. And I've watched the

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:46.679
<v Speaker 4>episode recently.

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 2>I went, oh my god. He he literally got to me.

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I was in the background just being fabulous, and I'm like,

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>everybody probably thinks Stephanie is just like a drunk lush

0:12:58.440 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 2>like she needs to go to Rea.

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 4>It was hilarious.

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Kenny just such a great director. So what do you

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 3>remember about Alexis? Did you did you get to know Alexis? Well,

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 3>you said you you became a little bit of friends

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 3>with her. What was it like working with her on

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 3>set and meeting her for the first time the whole thing.

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm kind of a big personality, so I'm not shah,

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 2>I probably should be shot. And all my scenes were

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 2>with her, right and you know, the first day I

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 2>made her was the gorilla thing or not, and we

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't how much time to like really like bond.

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.840
<v Speaker 4>But again, the second episode.

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.959
<v Speaker 2>My gosh, we were together twenty four to seven off

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 2>of these locations.

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, we're all just hanging out board, you know,

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 4>when we're not filming, and we really just hit it off.

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 2>She's so down to earth and just a real person

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.079
<v Speaker 2>and not that it's you know, hard to find somebody

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>like that, but like you just don't think someone like

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.319
<v Speaker 2>that is so busy and so talented and that it's

0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be just like, oh yeah, let's hang out.

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 2>So we ended up actually hanging out outside of set

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 2>and we became friends, and you know, it was short

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>lived because I then left for North Carolina, but we

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 2>really got along and we even like you know, went

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 2>to like some events together and stuff like that. Just yeah,

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 2>she just uh, she's kind of like this like quiet

0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 2>but like interesting, right, little like light right.
