Scott 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.880 is the host of I'm All In with Scott Patterson, 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:19.520 a wildly popular podcast dedicated to revisiting all one fifty 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:24.160 four episodes and four movies of the classic series. But 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.360 what I love about this show was how Scott and 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.440 his co host use Gilmore Girls almost like a lens 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.640 to help examine issues and problems we're currently facing in 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:37.040 our everyday lives. For example, in this episode, you'll hear 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.319 how a conversation about background actors inspired Scott and his 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.920 co host to learn more about their own backgrounds and 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.320 take health tests from twenty three and me. Together, they 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.080 go on a journey of personal health discovery with plenty 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.200 of laughs along the way. Let's listen in as Scott 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.520 and team discovered just how important information can be to 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:06.080 knowing your place in the scene. I am all in. 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:22.400 That's just I am all in with Scott Patterson and 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.120 I heart radio podcast Everybody.

I think Danielle and 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.040 I did it. We're going to discuss it. Yeah, I 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.160 haven't done it yet. I'm going to hear about you guys, 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:45.440 and then yeah, we're going to hear what happened for 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.440 you guys. But you have to do it.

Not only going to talk about our DNA. 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.080 We have a whole theme here going Scott, you should 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:32.000 explain our whole tie. Well, some people, some people thought 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:36.880 it would be a nice idea, right thematically speaking loosely, 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:44.719 you know, constructed that we get DNA background ancestry, even 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:49.800 health reports, DNA background information, uh on, and then have 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.600 some background actors from the show who we've been discussing 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.719 the stirring in the background, and like why wise background. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:01.280 So so that's the that's the thread that we're doing 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.599 a deep dive into your d n A. We're gonna 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.840 talk to some extras on the show. We're gonna we're 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.240 gonna talk to some background actors on the show. We're 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:13.320 going to discuss d n A, our backgrounds, um where 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:18.240 we come from, and other things. And uh, it's gonna 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.240 be a pretty interesting show. So uh, here we are 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:25.279 ladies and gentlemen. Tara, Hello, do you have anything to say? 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.880 Are you taking us away? Is there any synopsis that 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.080 you want to make up on the spot? Let's let's 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.760 hear what you can do on the We have three 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.520 guests today. Um, they were all background actors, as you said, 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.479 and um, some of them I know. One of them 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.880 we found through TikTok right Amy, Yeah, yeah, and she 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.680 talks about when we found on our own instagram. So 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.479 thank you guys, follow us you never know what you 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.760 might find on our Instagram. And then the other was 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.000 a part of one of the most recent episodes that 0:05:55.080 --> 0:06:00.320 we watched with the bet and most iconic episode so far. Wait, 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.359 we really have to ask about the music playing in 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.560 the back, like, how did they dance? We have to 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:10.320 ask her. Totally totally great. They were dancing to silence 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.080 at at your piece in what they had going on 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.239 like a silent disco? Oh my god. First of all, Scott, 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.039 do you know what that is? Silent disco? No? What 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.839 is that? Silent disco? People dancing around and disc with 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:28.719 music headphonephones. That's so bizarre. So when you walk in 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:33.599 the room, it's silent, but everyone's because they have their headphones, 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.560 that's the thing. Huh, why did they invent a silent disco? 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.599 Like is it so that you could have a party 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.719 in a quiet neighbor because the neighbors would complain, and 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.600 like this is a way to sort of make your 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.320 money silently, right. The first thing you've ever heard of 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.839 it was at Coachella, weirdly, and it was like one 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.039 of those like after hours parties at the campgrounds and 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.560 it was like from like one to three in the morning. 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.560 And so I think it's because it's so late at night. Well. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.400 I also at E d C they had a disco 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:11.320 and like a little section but Electric Cardinals. It's ant related, Danielle, 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.680 did you guys discover that you're related? Twenty three and 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.239 me tell you that stuff? Yes, it does. It tells 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.040 you who you're like, I mean, I think everyone knows this. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.360 It tells you like what you're at, like what you 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.360 are you know, like what your DNA shows. But it 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.920 also shows you if you have like any relative matches 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.760 and stuff like that. So um, Luckily, all my brothers 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:35.119 and sisters popped up for me and my mom and dad, 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.320 so we're good. Any celebrities doesn't show like if you're 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.600 related to like Barack Obama or something, as long as 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.480 they've done the test too, you know, so like but 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.920 Barack Obama did not pop up for me. Um, But yeah, 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.400 it shows you like anywhere from like cousins and like 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.720 what percentage of d n A you share too, so 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.360 like percent whatever, so you know how closely you are 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.880 related to that. Yeah. It's actually very fascinating. But the 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:04.800 one thing that I thought was really cool was all 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.640 the like all the health stuff you learn about yourself too, 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.880 so um, like just based off of your DNA what 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.760 diseases or um, you know, health issues you can be 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:20.040 you know, predisposed to. So like for me, I kind 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.760 of like knew this, but like, you know, like my 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:27.000 family suffers really bad with like heart issues, high blood pressure, 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:28.800 things like that, and it popped up for me on 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.480 my on my results of course. Yeah, but it's just 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.360 good to know that stuff so you can like be 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.400 proactive and take care of yourself now to hopefully avoid 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.160 those things in the future. So you can get your 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.120 results and then talk to your doctor about it and say, like, hey, 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.920 anything I should be doing. Yeah, it's like, you know, 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.360 you have a high risk of getting these things, you know. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:48.840 So it's just good to know that stuff so that 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:56.040 you can you know. Yeah, well I discovered that I'm 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:02.720 over the average of Neanderthal DNA. That's what I was 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.760 trying to remember, Neanderthal. Are you making that up? I'm 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:11.400 not making it up. No, no, no, no no, yeah, yeah, 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.560 two and thirty three genetic variants that can be traced 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:20.199 to Neanderthals, Thank you very much. Also, uh, my maternal 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.840 Hoplo group is headed by none other than Jesse James, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:30.760 the Gunman. The gunman. Yes, don't don't get on my bedside. 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:38.720 So that's that's all I'm saying. Show don't get on that. 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.120 I have to say, it's very loop. The results are 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:51.000 very loop, like you are, lou My goodness. It also 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:56.040 said de Boleon Napoleon Bonaparte. Um, but I already knew that, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.240 and it's amazing that they picked that up. Yes, Sir 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:04.640 Francis Drake, Deboleon ponent part Napoleon Bonaparte. And there's something 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:09.120 I really can't reveal that I'm probably going to you 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:13.520 keep saying, because somebody did it and realized they were related, 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:19.120 and it was like in a magazine. Keep going, keep going, Uh, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.680 what's the part you can't reveal? Reveal it? I'm part 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:33.400 Wolf stop it, okay? Like believe that I'm a direct 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:38.480 descendant of my god Jersey Devil. What happened? Daniel what happened? 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:45.040 I have eight six more percentage of neanderthalught and says 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:52.120 to see what happens, to see and are related. That's 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:57.800 why we survived. That's why the Bloodline survives. All right, guys, 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:03.119 back by popular demand. Because this whole episode is dedicated 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:07.400 to background acting. Scott. We have been honing our skills 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.160 and we would like to have a do over from 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:18.440 our previous background acting and give you another go at 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.920 it for you to judge us. And I'm going to 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.640 spring this on me right here now. You didn't, ye ye? 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.640 We pulled a little script for you so that you 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.520 can do an actual scene from the diner, and the 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.679 three of us are going to be the background. What 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.240 do you mean I'm going to do the scene? You're 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.679 gonna be you, You'll be Who's gonna be?

Yes, So as you can see, we 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.480 really play on things in advance. We do this all 0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:02.000 just by the seat of our all of those meetings, 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:06.920 those endless midnight meetings, the planet, the structure literally in 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:12.840 the text, like dude, be ready some good times tomorrow. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.320 I'm gonna be at the dinner Daniel.

Why, oh you listen. 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.920 I'd like to run something by you. I'm busy. I 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.040 was just thinking how nice it would be if you 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.079 could set up a little coffee stand at the marathon. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.960 Coffee I mean, yes, these people have to try and 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.560 stay up for twenty four hours. What better to help 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.720 you stay up than a nice, strong coffee. Huh, what 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.960 do you say really for bucket cup? Luke? This marathon 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.240 is a charitable event, Taylor. We've been raising money to 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.320 restore that stupid bridge for eight years. We're not raising 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.720 money to restore the bridge. No, we have that money. 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.640 The Tennessee Williams look alike contest put us right over 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.160 the top. What the hell is this dumb thing for 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.720 a tarp to cover the bridge? This is the first 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.960 tailor actually need to sit down. Well, Luke, you know 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.960 as well as I do that if we start renovations now, 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.080 heading right into snow and rainy part of the season, 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.920 then everything we do is going to get ruined. And 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.680 there we back up square one. If we're going to 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.680 do this right, then we're going to need a tarp. Taylor, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.760 you're asking me to donate free coffee and hundreds of 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.440 people so you can raise money to buy its tarp. 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:57.800 How about fifty cents a cup? How about I charge 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.560 for cream? You would kick tiny Tim's crotch you right 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.120 out from under him, wouldn't you? If you ask for 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:03.680 a free cup of coffee, give me He's going down. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:11.360 I looked over and Amy's like serving serving food to 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.360 the camera. What is going on? I mean I felt 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.560 like Taylor was like in my in my office, right, 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:23.520 I mean that was so you nailed it, you guys. 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.920 Anyone's listening has to watch the video. They were going 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.920 on and on and not paying attention. Doesn't all the 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:42.040 video always started feeding each other, so Scot so connected. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.119 It was his part that he wasn't really like observing 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.800 our background that I started off. I didn't memorize the scene. 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.440 That's when I looked over started laughing. You guys, wait 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.160 a minute, so wait a minute. You were Danielle and Amy. 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:59.160 You you guys were spoon feeding each other. It was 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:06.720 like this, wow, oh my goodness. Should we bring in 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.240 real background actors? For sure? But everybody listening needs to 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.560 watch us. Dude on the Instagram and tell us how 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:17.600 we did. Because Scott was being loosen, I'm just doing 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.320 my job, trying to do my job. It did great. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.040 I think we were much improved. Danielle in the beginning 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.480 the last time I had to do it, I don't 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.080 even think you had to do it. And then we 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.280 lost it. It's so boring being in it. I had 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.440 a blast, thought it was fun. I don't think I 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.400 could do it for fifteen minutes, like how long do 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.120 they have to go in a diner scene? Like how 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:46.160 long would that take to shoot? Hours? Oh no, I'm 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.680 not cut out for it. I mean you're doing dozens 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:53.360 of takes. Dozens. I stirred at that bowl pretty well, Tar, 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.320 did you see me in the beginning. I felt like 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.880 I was crushing at the beginning three minutes and I 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.400 was like, oh no, it was like that messed up. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:01.880 I look over and I was like what because I 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.320 was reading my script? Look over. We were focused on 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.920 our jobs. We were focused on what we're doing. These days, 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.200 you can be on your phone in the background, because 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.720 that would be more fun just checking emails. Oh my god, 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:16.080 I was going to be on my phone. I was like, 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.000 I can't do that in Luke's diner. I was going 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.160 to and I was like, that is so inauthentic. It's 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:26.440 the Neanderthal DNA creeping into the work, as it often 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:32.920 happens with me. Unfortunately, very broad choices like a caveman 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:38.080 or a cave woman would do er er. You know that, big, 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:48.160 big thanks to me. We've got background acting at its 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:52.880 finest for you coming up. Okay, And if you want 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.440 to learn about your background.

What are you? 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:37.920 Daniel What are you? I am seventy eight percent European, uh, 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.680 seventy two Spanish and Portuguese. Excuse me? How can you 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:51.440 be seventy percent something? And and then um, I have 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:56.840 one point five percent Ashkenazi Jewish And then weirdly enough, 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.480 I have like point seven percent each gyp ship and 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:05.080 some other little it's cool, but everything it's pretty much 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:10.520 just Spanish and Portuguese. There you go. And did you 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:14.480 know that going in did anything shock you? I mean, 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.520 just like the like the little percentages of Egyptian and 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.600 you know, like yeah, just a little things like that 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.480 that was shocking, But for the most part I was 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.560 pretty on target with what I've been told my whole life, 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:31.320 which is refreshing.

So? 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.879 I moved down to l a uh and got a 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.439 job taking tickets at Universal Studios before I signed up 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:40.400 with Central Casting and uh, I was twenty three years 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:44.840 old and looked younger, and so uh was able to 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:46.840 get on Gilmore Girls as an eight team to look 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:51.920 younger to students and um so yeah, so literally called 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:54.560 into Central Casting to try and get jobs, and Gilmore 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.680 Girls was one of them. And refresh my memory, what 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:00.040 what episode and scene were you in? I was in 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.200 the Francy bathroom scene, which I hear you enjoyed. Oh, 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:04.959 I enjoyed that so much. It was one of it's 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.600 one of my favorite scenes in the whole time. Yeah, yeah, 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:12.119 so you were in that. Yes, I recognized ye starting 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:16.439 the door, was guarding the door, You were guarding the door. Um. So, 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.240 what was your experience like on the show? Do you 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.240 have a great time or what was it like? Oh? 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.359 I loved it, loved it. Um it was obviously a 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.040 show that was incredibly hectic, I'm sure to work on 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:31.600 daily with the hours and all that. Um especially you know, 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.040 I remember getting to the end of your shooting weeks 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:36.000 and we'd be starting our call times would be like 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.119 four o'clock in the afternoons because everything had gotten so 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:40.720 long in the days and all that. But it was 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:44.199 a great show. The crew was awesome. Um. Always had 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:47.400 a good time on set and everyone was friendly and welcoming. 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.920 Were you a fan of the show before you came 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.600 on the show? Were you aware of it? I was. 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:55.400 I'd only watched I hadn't watched the first season when 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.440 it aired, but then I'd gotten into it in the 0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.640 second season, and so when I came down to l A. 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:02.080 Getting to work on the third season was was quite fun. 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:08.800 And what's your favorite Gilmore Girl's memory? Um, That Francy 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.199 bathroom scene was awfully cool. You know, it was a 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.040 fun experience to be one of only two background in 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:15.879 the scene, which meant we got a little bit more 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:20.200 special treatment than sometimes background, uh that they have time for, right, 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.520 and so we got to feel more like we were 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.600 part of the show in the episode in that way, 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.439 and that was a lot of fun. Cool. Yeah, it 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:30.640 almost felt like you were you know, and you were 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:34.400 an integral part of that scene. Uh, instead of really background, 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.080 it was more featured almost. Maybe what's your favorite Gilmore 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:41.320 Girls episode? If you have one? Um, I actually really 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.320 like the I think it's the season finale, the season 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:49.879 two where the wedding scenes, the wedding with um Suki 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.840 and Jackson's wedding, and then Christopher is there and then 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:57.000 he leaves, and um, I really enjoyed that whole dynamic. 0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:59.800 Um I realized, you know, as an adult now looking back, 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:04.000 the whole relationship is not the most healthy. But um, 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.359 as a twenty something watching it, I enjoyed the Laura 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.240 like Christopher dynamic. Interesting. All right, now we're gonna play 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:12.480 a little rapid fire. You know what rapid fire is. 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:14.680 I'm gonna fire questions that you gotta fire answers back 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:16.040 to me. Ready, here we go.

But that 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:22.600 that seemed to me was just fantastic. Um, thanks for 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:27.600 coming on, stay safe, keep up the good work.

I know it well or the short 0:23:56.920 --> 0:24:00.680 the short Kill Expressways they used to call it. Um. 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.439 So let's dive right in. How did you get a 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.840 roll of the background actor on the show? So I 0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:12.360 was actually Suky's stand in for season three? Oh my goodness. 0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:15.720 And it just happened to be one episode where they 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:19.959 were short on extras their background actors, and so they 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:23.520 asked myself and the the girl who played Loraa Lie 0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:27.960 stand into just you know, fill in. So we kind 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.480 of did double duty that episode. Okay, what what episode 0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:35.240 and scene were you in or it was in season three? Um, 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:39.119 the episode's an episode called mac Keg and it was 0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:43.400 kind of a walk and talk through town and Laura 0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:46.560 line Szuki, We're going to get pizza at the pizza joint. 0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:49.639 So I was just kind of sitting in the background 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:54.200 for that and la Lie Standard was standing in line 0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:59.000 to get pizza. Very low key, right, right. So what 0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:02.600 was your experience like on the show. It was great. Um, 0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.440 Like I said, like, I had moved out to California 0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:08.160 and a couple of months after their central casting had 0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:10.439 called an asked if I had ever done any stand 0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.520 in work, and I said I didn't know what that meant. 0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:16.679 So they called back and they said that, you know, 0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:18.960
