Speaker 1: a surprise to me. So I'm excited. You came on
Speaker 1: the episode that we saw last night. It was first episode.
Speaker 1: It was the first one O the gym. Yes, you
Speaker 1: were working out in your little nice tummy. You were not. Really,
Speaker 1: it was fun. It was I always good times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen I haven't seen any of these episodes
Speaker 1: and quite some time. I mean, this was my first job. Guys,
Speaker 1: it was like it was your first job. It was
Speaker 1: my first real job. I mean, the confidence you exude
Speaker 1: on that show, the star power when you walk in
Speaker 1: and just steal staying from Jason Priestley. I loved it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, good for you. I was so
Speaker 1: nervous to come on the show with you. Guys, you
Speaker 1: have no idea. Okay wait wait, so had us back
Speaker 1: to the how did you get this part? How did
Speaker 1: you get the role? Okay? So I actually, um, I
Speaker 1: was living in New York. I was doing commercials and
Speaker 1: going to acting school at the time, and I had
Speaker 1: just started, like I was going up for some pilots,
Speaker 1: and I auditioned for called One neckar Road, which was
Speaker 1: being produced by Aaron your dad, And yeah, it was
Speaker 1: like this is what is that wineca like inegar Road?
Speaker 1: Where's that is in like Tarazana? Yeah, maybe that's why
Speaker 1: that show didn't go They were ready for you know
Speaker 1: what he cares about One Road. I remember. I don't
Speaker 1: remember the pilot, but I remember I did test for it,
Speaker 1: and I remember when I was when I was out
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, my agent um called me and was like,
Speaker 1: so listen, um, Aaron Spelling wants to meet you. And
Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god me Like I was
Speaker 1: like like completely like flattered, and I yes, I'd love
Speaker 1: to meet him, and and he approached me and he
Speaker 1: just said, you know, if this, if this show doesn't
Speaker 1: work out, would you be interested in being on one
Speaker 1: of our already existing shows? Like, yes, I would love that.
Speaker 1: That would be amazing. And next thing, I think I
Speaker 1: auditioned for for Lucinda and got it, and uh it
Speaker 1: was relocated to Los Angeles, and that was how I
Speaker 1: came to Los Angeles. It was from that's one of
Speaker 1: those stories that doesn't happen that you were plucked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it was at least truly was that. I
Speaker 1: mean it was you know, you know that's what that's
Speaker 1: what's what's so crazy about this this industry, in this business,
Speaker 1: like you can audition for something and no, you're not
Speaker 1: right for it, or maybe you are right for it
Speaker 1: and not you don't, but like you might be right
Speaker 1: for something else. And that's you know, you always have
Speaker 1: to keep in mind, like whenever I think about something
Speaker 1: that I didn't want to go out for something like
Speaker 1: like you may I get that part, but they go,
Speaker 1: oh but you know, but you right this, So you
Speaker 1: know this was case in point, like exactly exactly that.
Speaker 1: So I owe it to uh nine O two and
Speaker 1: O and Aaron Spelling to which brought me out here.
Speaker 1: So you get there for stay, who do you mean
Speaker 1: first do you remember? Oh God, I don't know, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure boys, probably I mean all of my stuff
Speaker 1: was with was with Jason, right, all of my stuff
Speaker 1: i've in the beginning anyway, because it was all about
Speaker 1: I'm sure the boys were like checking the call. She's
Speaker 1: seeing what time we were arriving to be like in
Speaker 1: the nicest way, but you're married. Your character is married, right,
Speaker 1: and his professor professor, and then you end up I
Speaker 1: know this because I read it. You end up getting
Speaker 1: it divorced from the professor. That's right, So you can
Speaker 1: be with Brandon freely or kind of. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: something goes and then something else happens, and then something
Speaker 1: else happened. Now now I don't know when you go
Speaker 1: on to a different character. I became like the teacher,
Speaker 1: but I became your teacher, and I went to college
Speaker 1: with you, guys. I was like teaching your anthropology class
Speaker 1: or something. They loved you, but they saw how amazing
Speaker 1: when you were because get her in here more. It
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a five It was supposed to
Speaker 1: be a five episode deal. You look so young then,
Speaker 1: but like now you look like ten years here. You
Speaker 1: can I ask her, how old were you when you
Speaker 1: did the show? I think I think I was, like
Speaker 1: I think I think Jason and I are the same age.
Speaker 1: It might be like nine months older than him or
Speaker 1: nine once his worth. Okay, so you like in your
Speaker 1: early one his birthday I have to look it up. Sorry, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think. I mean I think I was birthday is August,
Speaker 1: that's me. Yeah, I think I think like nine months
Speaker 1: and nine months older than him when I was playing
Speaker 1: nine years older than him. Wow, just because your your
Speaker 1: character had such a competence and you exuded that, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think that made them think ahead of maturity
Speaker 1: your own husband. I mean it's not that's not often
Speaker 1: when you have like, you know, young actors playing young actresses,
Speaker 1: like playing so much older. It's like, yeah, I was
Speaker 1: like basically all you know, your age, Yeah exactly. We
Speaker 1: were all around the same age, playing like the older
Speaker 1: woman you know with the Do you remember like your
Speaker 1: first days on set and like how that felt or
Speaker 1: how m Yeah, of course, I mean, I well sort
Speaker 1: of it. It It was a long time ago, but it
Speaker 1: was so it was such a huge, you know, part
Speaker 1: of my career. I mean it's like I was just
Speaker 1: starting out and to to you know, show up to
Speaker 1: work on on what was then like if not the
Speaker 1: you know, hottest show on TV at the time. I mean,
Speaker 1: like fourth, fourth season was really like you guys really
Speaker 1: found your it was it was huge and and so
Speaker 1: I was going from like, you know, doing commercials in
Speaker 1: New York to having this gig on nine or two,
Speaker 1: I know with you guys and getting to work with
Speaker 1: Jason every day, and it was just like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is so surreal and crazy. Um of course you
Speaker 1: had heard, you know, you had heard a bunch of
Speaker 1: the um you know, the stories that were going on,
Speaker 1: the drama within you hear well, I mean now, it
Speaker 1: was just some things that may have been a little
Speaker 1: off putting to a you know, a newbie, you know,
Speaker 1: new new kid on the block, and it was like
Speaker 1: being little intimidating to kind of go into another high school.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, because at times that's what it was like. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well what we were all, you know, it was were young,
Speaker 1: we were young and here. Yeah. Yeah. But the good
Speaker 1: thing for me was that I I really went to
Speaker 1: I went to a lot of different high school high schools,
Speaker 1: but schools when I was a kid, So I didn't
Speaker 1: grow up with one group of friends and just grow
Speaker 1: up with them, like I kind of moved around, So
Speaker 1: I was used to being the new kid on the
Speaker 1: walk quite you know, quite frequently, So it wasn't that
Speaker 1: intimidating to right whatever, I'm from from New York and
Speaker 1: I've been around and I can handle it whatever. I
Speaker 1: just do whatever. But it was great that I had.
Speaker 1: I had most of my scenes with Jason. He was
Speaker 1: such a pro and fun and great and um and
Speaker 1: I didn't really like see you guys all that much.
Speaker 1: I see you, I can make up. Yeah, we didn't.
Speaker 1: We just kind of crossed paths right, different different stup
Speaker 1: until we were your students. Then I don't remember. But
Speaker 1: you said you became the teacher. Yeah, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if we had any scenes together
Speaker 1: like it like that, you and me. So maybe there
Speaker 1: was one all the way or something passing, or we
Speaker 1: had like you know, exchange, maybe one or two lines.
Speaker 1: But most of the stuff was with the boys. Well
Speaker 1: that's lucky. That's where everyone wanted to be was with
Speaker 1: those boys. Boys. But it was great, And I remember this.
Speaker 1: I remember being really impressed with your craft service table.
Speaker 1: Thank you really? Oh yeah, well, I mean it was
Speaker 1: my first show. I know, I didn't even know where
Speaker 1: craft service was. I'm saying, like, you guys were my
Speaker 1: first can't like you? We would have never thought that.
Speaker 1: And it was like I was like, wow, look at
Speaker 1: all these snacks. Yeah, that was how we did with life. Um,
Speaker 1: and what do you think about like your wardrobe because
Speaker 1: obviously nineties wardrobe so huge, it's back. Now what did
Speaker 1: you think of your guys's wardrobe? You didn't love your No,
Speaker 1: you look like a badass. I love it was. I
Speaker 1: liked it though. It was very like bohemian, sort of mean,
Speaker 1: and you know, like lots of trinkets, medallion's that you
Speaker 1: gathered from your travels around the world, very worldly, worldly, feminist. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember you had a collection on your wall in
Speaker 1: your house of the mass masks from all around the
Speaker 1: world or something I remember seeing, like I think I
Speaker 1: remember having pictures like with Luke, with Luke when he
Speaker 1: when he came over, and I was like asking him
Speaker 1: for money, you know, like you do you mean Dylan?
Speaker 1: You're talking about asking Dylan for money? Yeah? Sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: Luke's character. Sorry, Dalan, Yes, right, um, yes, yes, I
Speaker 1: just see I see the mass in the background and like,
Speaker 1: you know, him and me on the couch and trying
Speaker 1: to get cozy and yeah, get money. You wanted his money.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I wanted a grant something for something.
Speaker 1: It was a good cause. I mean so at the time,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you got recognized. But we're people like because
Speaker 1: our fans get super protective, Like if you screwed over anyone,
Speaker 1: they would be like on you in real life? Did
Speaker 1: fans get upset with you about Brandon Dylan? Like? I mean,
Speaker 1: I well, first of all, this was like all before internet,
Speaker 1: so I didn't really have to worry about me social
Speaker 1: media stuff. But I think I remember correctly, remember hearing
Speaker 1: things like, you know, no one really people, I was
Speaker 1: like a character people like to not like, you know,
Speaker 1: because she was you know, she had a little spice,
Speaker 1: yeah storyline, But at the same time she was you know,
Speaker 1: cheating and you know, you know, messing with a younger
Speaker 1: boy like you know, even though it wasn't that much younger.
Speaker 1: Did they call you a cougar back then? Or was
Speaker 1: that is that a new term? Say? Back then she
Speaker 1: robbed the cradle older woman older? I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: you were damn sexy, that's all I know. You guys
Speaker 1: are sweet. You guys look great. Also, I mean you've
Speaker 1: gone on to do such an enowerment body of work,
Speaker 1: obviously notably, like right, I think it was soon after
Speaker 1: you went on to Starship Troopers, which was huge, and um,
Speaker 1: Casper Vanden who was in nine O two and no
Speaker 1: and one of my exes, Patrick Muldoon was in that
Speaker 1: Deniece Richards like, um, anyway that I still love me
Speaker 1: from that movie. But I'm a huge horror fanatic, so
Speaker 1: I always tell people, um that because you were in Saw,
Speaker 1: you were in Wait, you were in two Saws, correct, three,
Speaker 1: three and a piece, three and a piece. So I
Speaker 1: always tell people like I worked with her. I worked
Speaker 1: with her because I'm like a fanatic. You pop up
Speaker 1: on the TV though, like I was watching something random,
Speaker 1: and then I'll see you, like, oh my god, there
Speaker 1: she is. Thirty years. Thirty years is a lot of work,
Speaker 1: you know, it was thirty years, you know, like I
Speaker 1: was kind of launched after nine or two one. Oh,
Speaker 1: and I just I've been really really fortunate. And what
Speaker 1: are you working on right now? I actually, oddly enough,
Speaker 1: I just finished a little movie with Denise. Did you
Speaker 1: literally just are like yeah, yeah, we just shot this
Speaker 1: little movie in Atlanta, with with Daniel Baldwin. Was yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fun. Family reunion. Yeah, kind of fun. Because again
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen her or worked with her since was like,
Speaker 1: that's nuts, that's nuts. So I did that. And before that,
Speaker 1: I was doing a little movie called Katie's Mom, which
Speaker 1: is sort of a play on the graduate told by
Speaker 1: the Mrs Robinson. Okay, there you again. There's a little
Speaker 1: thing with the older woman ever using that Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love it, said that sex appeal that you can't deny,
Speaker 1: you know, Oh my god? Yeah, oh you guys, stop
Speaker 1: keep going before we go? Can we play a little
Speaker 1: game with you? Oh, per saw what would you like
Speaker 1: to play a game? Dina Meyer? Would you like to
Speaker 1: play a game? To play a game? They know? So
Speaker 1: we do this game called Kiss Mary or Kicked to
Speaker 1: the curb. It's usually kiss Mary or kill but we're
Speaker 1: nice here, it's Mary or get kicked to the curb. Yeah,
Speaker 1: kiss Mary or kick to the curb. This is not
Speaker 1: based on actual actors, just the characters. So it would
Speaker 1: be like, you know, Jason's Brandon or Luke Dylan, David Steve, okay,
Speaker 1: Jim Jim whip. You could throw on one of the
Speaker 1: girls if you want to be ras because you know
Speaker 1: what things are fluid now, So that's right. Okay, who
Speaker 1: would you kiss? Who would you kiss? If you had
Speaker 1: to pick one of the main characters? Um, one of
Speaker 1: the main characters from nine two one oh oh? If
Speaker 1: you could pick, because you got you know, you got
Speaker 1: to pick. I got to kiss? I got? Did I
Speaker 1: kiss me? You pick kiss Dylan and Brandon? Sorry? Sorry
Speaker 1: Dylan part of me? Um? And who else? And? And
Speaker 1: I think okay, so we can go this avenue obviously
Speaker 1: both great guys, great kissers. Who did you enjoy kissing
Speaker 1: on screen? More? Jason or Luke? If you had to pick?
Speaker 1: I don't know, God, are you blushing? You're blushing because
Speaker 1: I don't know how to answer this? Um. I mean
Speaker 1: it's a it's a there were different kinds of kisses, exactly.
Speaker 1: I've been asked this question myself a few times, a
Speaker 1: few thousand times, and it's hard to answer. But there's one,
Speaker 1: you know you're gravitating towards one. Just say it. We
Speaker 1: can figure out which one you by telling us this
Speaker 1: little We're good, we liked it, we're detectives. Do you
Speaker 1: currently have T MJ? Nope, I'm going to take that
Speaker 1: as a no. Do you lockedaw TMJ and you any
Speaker 1: clicking sound? I do have a clicking okay, clicking you
Speaker 1: wear a night guard? Then I know who your favorite
Speaker 1: kisser was. Here we go, yeah, what we're talking about?
Speaker 1: We know no, because my theory, I don't know even
Speaker 1: how this happened. I don't even know how I came
Speaker 1: up with this theory. But my theory is that Jason
Speaker 1: priestly gave me t m J from kissing him so
Speaker 1: many times, because he kisses like with his mouth so
Speaker 1: far open, and it would click. I would hear it click.
Speaker 1: I didn't have that when that was happening, but now
Speaker 1: I haven't. Oh my god, try to eat next to her.
Speaker 1: All you hear is click, click, pop, pop over draw
Speaker 1: when she eats, And it's his fault. It's his fault.
Speaker 1: So you have you have it now too, Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: we go. That's it, So I'm going to blame him
Speaker 1: for it. Okay, it's more. It's more fun that way. Okay, Mary, Wait,
Speaker 1: but I want to go back to something you said.
Speaker 1: You you made out with Claire. I don't know. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was Claire. That was The characters Kathleen Roberts. Wait,
Speaker 1: she was just saying when you were talking that she
Speaker 1: had because we did like a little minagati you got
Speaker 1: in like the fifth season. What is happening when when
