Oh that's good to know you have 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.280 the exact same hair do that we're looking at a 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.199 picture of you on our computers here when you were 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.680 playing the character on nine O two and I Peter Tucker. 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:48.479 You have the same exact hairdo. 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.240 I'm thankful that I still have it. You can be 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.880 good hair, good jeans, I guess right. 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.600 Let me ask you a question. Does your mom have 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.320 good hair? And your mom's dad? 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.360 Actually, you know, I never met my mom's dad, but 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.720 that was the Ironically, I never found out that I 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.559 was Irish until I was in college. I always wondered 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.520 because of the hair color. I said, you sure, I'm 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.840 not Irish? And my grandparents used to tell me that 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.399 I was Northern Italian because my whole family's Italian. So 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.240 but yeah, I think Irish. 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:28.800 Part, how'd you find out you're Irish. 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:33.080 Well, years later I saw a picture. I found a 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:38.440 picture of my mom's real dad, and I just I wondered, like, 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.920 I said, who is this person? And I found out 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.959 that they kind of, you know, because my grandparents, my 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:49.760 grandmother got divorced really early on, when my mother was 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.200 like two or three years old. They kind of it 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.440 was kind of shameful to admit that. I guess, so 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.400 I guess she was very proud, and so you know, 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.600 when she married, that was the only grandfather that I knew, 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.680 and I thought, you know, I thought he was my 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.680 biological grandfather. 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.639 Of Okay, but yeah, that's so fascinating. 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.600 The hair because my brother and I have are the 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.720 only ones who have like strawberry blonde hair, and we 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.600 both have it and no one else has it in 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.640 the entire family.

Yeah, there's the obviously, the flirting that's happening, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.400 and the kind of random running into each other and 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:35.480 uh and then. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.839 The little fact of your character being married. 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.720 Yes, yes, that is uh, well she's married. 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:43.760 Yeah, she's married. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:47.520 Too, and you address that in our little telltale wedding 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.560 rings that we both avoided to notice. 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.920 So right, I don't think you guys she doesn't wear 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.760 her rings when she goes to the laundermeat Oh okay, 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.200 I just want to lose them.

She didn't want to 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.480 lose her rings at the laundromat. Okay, but I buy 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.880 that Peter purposely took his ring off when he saw 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.000 this hot girl at the laundromat. 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:23.800 Yeah, yeah, it was a little deceptive. Yeah, yeah, but 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:28.719 any kind of yeah. So but that was a fun 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.960 scene to film, and I was so excited to just 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.120 get this role because it was it was such an easy. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:39.520 M H fit. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.520 I don't know, I don't know how to explain it, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:42.760 but I don't know if you guys know that I 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.960 auditioned for the show once before what no tell us? 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.920 Years before I auditioned about two years earlier, I had 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.640 auditioned for I don't know, it was a it was 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.960 a drama teacher during summer school. I don't know if 0:05:55.960 --> 0:06:00.880 you remember that. The actor, the young Elvis Presley who 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.080 ended up getting it, I think I don't know his name, 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:09.520 but yeah, And so I auditioned for that, and I 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.920 have to say it was I don't know. I came 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.320 up with this crazy, fun, out of the box audition 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:20.280 and it went so well, and then I got a callback. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.640 And when I realized, like my agent didn't tell me 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.560 that it was, I just assumed like it was a 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.200 callback for a guest star, and I was going to 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:32.120 producers and when I got there there was all of 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.440 these former series regulars and I had I'd never been 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.039 to network before, and so when I actually got in 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:45.400 the room, there was about about like fifty people sitting 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:52.799 there scary, right, and I totally bombed. I did. I froze, 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.040 and yeah, it was just it was the first time 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:58.440 that that had happened, and it was kind of just 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.040 such a I should have. 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.480 Yeah, but then you made the bed and not the part. 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.280 Yeah, wow. 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.760 It worked out better, which I don't know if that happens, 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.280 It feels like it happens rarely. But to have it 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.240 come back around like that a couple of years later 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:22.280 and to get this role was was just like a blessing. 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:23.880 I was just like, oh my god. It was just 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.600 you know, you have to tell yourself like that that 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.200 maybe things happened for a reason. But I just remember, yeah, 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.840 just feeling like, oh my god, I got another opportunity 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:33.600 to Did. 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.080 You know that it would be a seven episode sort 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.640 of big, huge character arc for one of the main characters. 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.800 I didn't. I didn't at the time. Now yeah I didn't. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:43.560 It was just like I think it was the only 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.040 time I went into an audition where the producers actually 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:51.520 said they had me read for also the student activist, 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.480 and they were like, oh, wow, you're so perfect for 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.680 this one too. We don't know which one to cast you, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.960 because usually nobody tells you a thing when you're in 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.240 the room, right, But they were so open about it, 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.960 and it just put me really at ease. I felt like, wow, 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.720 this is this is so so great. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.680 And had you watched the show before because it had 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.200 been on for four seasons before you joined? 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.080 Four seasons and I had. I had watched the first season, 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.480 but I hadn't seen it since the first season. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.480 Wait, you, guys, I got to go back to something. 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.920 I'm so sorry. What when you went to network? I know, 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.160 sorry you didn't get that role, but so much better 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.680 this role? Right, the drama school teacher Summer School? Was 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.640 he meant to be a series regular? Like if he 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:45.480 went to network? 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:51.079 Well, that's what was so confusing. Confusing he wasn't. I 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.959 wasn't supposed to be a series regular. I went in 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.000 under the impression that it was just a guest star. 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.880 I felt like it was similar to this role of Peter, 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:06.120 where it was a guest star possible recurring, but maybe 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.840 it was already a guaranteed recurring for the whole summer. 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.720 And so that's why when I first got there and 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.400 I was surprised, I was like, wait a second, there 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.760 was all these series regulars, like I recognized that guy 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.240 from Coach and I recognized this guy, and I was 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.320 just kind of like, I didn't know what was happening. 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.840 One number did they put you in when you went 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:26.280 in the room. 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.680 Yeah, I don't know what number. But my kid called 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.120 me afterwards. My agent called me afterwards, and he was 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.520 just like, what happened? You were their first choice and 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.679 they just don't know what happened. And I was like, 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.760 I was their first choice. I said, it would have 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.840 been nice to have some information. By the way I'm 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:48.480 being prepared. I was so thrown and was not expecting 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.640 because I guess it wasn't. I mean, that's network, right, 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.360 I mean there were fifty people on a couch and 0:09:55.360 --> 0:10:00.480 and your father sitting in the middle. So I was anyway, 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:01.480 But I get it. 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:03.760 We've all been there. Yeah. 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.400 Do you get recognized by people as Peter? 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.160 Do You? 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:08.959 Not? 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:09.960 Not anymore? 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.000 Because if I were to see you, like at the 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:13.800 grocery store, I would look at you and be like, 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.599 I know that guy from somewhere. 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:21.120 Yeah, because that fa I still look similar. But I 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:26.320 had gotten recognized up until about honestly, up until about 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:31.040 probably in my forties, I was still getting recognized, and 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.040 I have to be honest, I had no idea doing 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.319 the show the power that it actually had, Like after 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:43.360 I did the show, I mean obviously just you think 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.720 having a recurring role. I had no idea that people 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.120 would recognize me as much as they did or where 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.360 honestly I could. I mean, my biggest memory is being 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.600 at an Elton John and Billy Joel concert. Someone before 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.199 it started came down from the stands and tapped me 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.000 on the shoulder, so it's like, oh, you're that guy 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.800 from I and I was. I was really taken aback 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.760 because that was the first time something like that had 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:07.360 happened to me. 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.480 So did SAMs get mad at you? Like it's Andrea? 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:16.040 Like, I guess I'm thinking so many characters like that, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.040 they didn't like what they were doing on the show, 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.360 and they like hated them in real life. It's like, 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:22.200 it's just a character. 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:23.520 Did that happen? 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.600 No, I had, no, I never happened, you know, that 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.120 had never come up. I had never I had gotten 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.679 fan mail, and it seemed like it was all positive. 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.360 It was like no one ever said, like, how can 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.120 you do that to Andrea? What's wrong with you. It 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.000 was more like I had still gotten fan mail saying, oh, 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.520 we're so sorry to see you go. And even that 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.120 last episode where I'm kind of like, you know, not 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.360 very nice, and she's she's. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:54.160 Really haven't seen it yet. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:55.280 I haven't seen it yet. 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.079 Yes, okay, you'll be you'll be surprised.
