Yeah, 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:21.360 it was hard to It's hard when, as you know, 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.640 also when you have little ones to just move to 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:26.920 Atlanta for three months or whatever it was, you know, 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:31.720 so I had to pick and choose things. And yeah, anyway, 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.160 I'm not done yet. I keep going. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.679 That's good. I love that about you. You are a 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.800 hard worker, You're profession. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.520 It's just what I am. I think it's more than 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.720 the hard work. And I appreciate you saying that because 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.120 my mom would be happy to hear I'm a hard worker. 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.280 But I think I more than anything. It's just it's 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.040 what I love, you know, like it's a part of 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:02.760 my actual composition to me an artist and an actor 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:03.880 tell stories. 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:10.680 You hear no drama either, which is so refreshing. It's like, 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.800 you know, you're not one of those actresses that comes 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:21.480 in with her entourage and you know, has her all 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.200 the things, and it is always, you know, got some 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.640 story to tell, some dramatic situation going on in her 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:33.840 personal life. You are very You're very stable person. I've 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.560 always been so drawn too that I remember I always 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.120 tell you this every time I see you, though, But 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.040 I always used to talk about you when you weren't around, 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.800 and I would say, Lindsay is the most beautiful woman 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.680 I have ever met. That's crazy, you know. I tell 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.440 you this every time and it's the truth. Oh, Like, 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.519 I had no reason to say that to you back 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:57.720 in the day other than the truth that you just 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.200 have the most beautiful arms. You're just your hair is 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.000 so pretty, your teeth are perfect. Like, you're just beautiful. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.480 I'm not sucking up to you either. 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:09.040 You. 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:13.560 Oh, that's very kind. I know. Whenever you've ever said this, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:17.280 I've always said to you, it's so odd because I 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.160 went onto the show with you guys who were literally 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.919 icons of beauty and fashion, and always felt like the odd, 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:29.080 funny one like I've never ever felt and even to 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.919 this day like and I know I've played roles that 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.880 were supposed to be glamorous and whatever else. I don't 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.000 see myself that way. 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.800 Oh my god, girl, I'm gonna shake you right now. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.720 I'm not unhappy, you know what I mean, But I 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.880 don't like, I'm just happy to be here when I 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.920 go to the work, and I think, I think our 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.720 job as actors is to sort of disappear, do you 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.560 know what I mean. We're supposed to be the person 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.880 that we're portraying. We're not actually supposed to like be 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.440 some superstar when you go on to a set, you know. 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.120 So yeah, it's not all about you. It's supposed to 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:07.360 it's not supposed to be all. 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:13.880 It's not it's not. I really, I'm very I understand 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.200 why people feel that when you kind of have to 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.279 pump yourself up in order to do the job that 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.760 you're asked to do. But I I'm it's not my 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.960 I love it when I see that kind of you know, 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.120 posturing or whatever. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.880 Yeah, that's so interesting. So when tell me about what 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.640 you what you went through for the audition process to 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.680 play the character of Janet. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.159 Yeah, I had auditioned for Aaron's spelling a couple of 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.039 times before. But I think everyone sort of has this story. 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.960 They're like a million times and I kept coming back, 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.000 but I had moved. I went to high school in 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:54.560 New York, and I'd moved back home to LA specifically 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.039 to work on a show, not nine Out two. And 0:04:58.040 --> 0:04:59.719 now I think, Oh, I did a soap and it 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.400 was a couple of months and what was on it 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.000 was Bold and the Beautiful. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.000 Old in the Beautiful Yeah I think, I like, yeah, 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:07.280 it was. 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.120 It was like a really good and beautiful. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:16.600 It was hopefully they hired me so but I did 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.200 a couple of months of that show, and I think 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.680 I auditioned while I was still on it, but I 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.600 was like fresh out of high school, maybe nineteen, I. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:29.080 Can't remember, but what I remember was that it was 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:34.360 a guest star or reoccurring role. I don't know why. 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.080 The woman that was playing the secretariat the Beverly beat 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.919 was was they were replacing her, but they But that 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.760 was the audition, so I just thought it was going 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.760 to be a couple of episodes. I think, if I 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.320 remember correctly, it was only like three two or three, 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.000 and it was like a Girl Friday roll, like, here's 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.000 your envelope, Steve, and oh Brandon, a message came in 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.760 for you, you know. But it was my favorite show ever 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.200 growing up, and so the idea of being on it 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.200 was just like epic for me. 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.440 I mean, you had the most wonderful thing happened, because yeah, 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.840 you started out slow as like a peripheral supporting character 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.800 in season eight, but yeah, and you really did have 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.839 very few scenes whenever they were in the office. Right 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:22.840 like you said, but you won everyone over. You won 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.080 the audience over, you won the actors over, you won 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.000 the people in the offices, the top people over, and 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.720 they started writing more for you. And made you into 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.279 this really important character. 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.760 It was wild. Those stories that you hear every once 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.760 in a while, it actually happens to someone when they 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.359 just work hard and do their job. Yeah, you know, 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.360 you're sort of rewarded for it. It doesn't always work that way. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.880 I just I think I remember. Also, you know, Ian 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:54.360 is so funny, and the show has taken on, so 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.440 it's I mean, I love the show and I always 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.880 will love the show because it was always both drama 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:03.800 and comedy. It was always rom calm and also gave 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:09.960 like real world issues a look for young people. And 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.240 when your characters all got older and you were in 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.320 the workplace and you know, trying to figure out your 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:19.040 your young lives. You know. I think the Steve character, 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.520 he really started to like take a turn and shine 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.640 when you could see his sort of comedy. So we 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:29.239 had that banter back and forth, and it was kind 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.760 of I think a parent that like maybe Janet wasn't 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:37.760 the typical bombshell, like she was brainy and you know, sarcastic, 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.320 and they wrote it with that type of humor and 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.440 everything just clipped, you know what I mean, Like I 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.200 don't know if it was necessary that I was so fabulous. 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.760 But it was that it was really clicking between the characters, 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.520 and that I think was the audience was probably ready 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:52.680 to see him do that. 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.239 Yeah, your character was like the perfect fodder for his character. 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.320 You guys like it was spurry, It was you know, 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.360 it had like moments of you didn't know, do I 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.320 want them to get together? Do I not? I don't know. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:11.000 I had forgotten though, that the that he you you 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:15.200 kind of wanted your character wanted to be with Steve 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:20.520 initially and like invited yourself to a party or something. 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.880 I think it was like it was actually the reunion episode. 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.440 It was your your It was reunion high school reunion 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.040 and I'd been working in the office and he asked 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.240 me to go as sort of like a placeholder because 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.080 he was trying to make someone else think that he 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.920 was like a quality guy or something. But I but 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.600 my character was was falling for him, and he did 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.120 something sort of rude or just dismissive. 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.680 He took his clothes off in the locker room. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.559 he was going to get with somebody. You were there, 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.439 but she goes to the locker room and I yes. 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:02.840 And actually Randy Spelling had told me like a couple days, 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.079 or maybe it was actually at the Rap Party, because 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.719 Aaron asked me to be be a regular at the 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.800 Rap Party for season eight, and that accisode had aired 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.800 and we had this scene where Steve comes to the 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.240 door and he's like, I'm sorry, and we had this 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.760 really real emotional moment. And Randy said that he watched 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.439 that scene and he told his dad, you have to 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.160 hire She's like an amazing actor and whatever else, and 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.600 so Aaron listened to him. I guess. So I don't know, Well, 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.160 that's one part of the story. 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:37.600 Another part at the Rap party, Tory and I don't 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.360 know in what condition we were at that time, but 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.080 Aaron had taken us aside and was like, what do 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.559 you think of Lindsay. You know, we were like, we 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:51.280 love Lindsey. She fits right in. She's like the perfect 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:56.880 person for Steve's character. And we were just like glowing 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.360 you up. And I think that was the like moment 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.280 where he was like, Okay, I'm getting this from both 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.240 my kids at this point, may probably listen and I mean, 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.440 I know he loved you too to even entertain that thought. Yeah, 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.079 but we were just like, yes, she has got to 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:12.880 stay on the show. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:18.280 That's that's to be honest with you, like that, that 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:22.280 moment and you guys and the friendship set that I 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.600 I I got because of that experience were more valuable 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.760 to me than even ever being on the show. Because 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.520 I was, like, you know, a young kid like in 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.720 the industry since I was young, so I wasn't in 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.920 an actual high school. And how surreal for me to 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:44.240 like be socially accepted and loved by you guys who 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.679 I watched on TV because I wasn't actually going to 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.880 high school. It's so it's very there's so many layers 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:54.400 of it, you know, And we really, we really did. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.160 You really were a part of my life and like 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:01.640 my my youth and my like development with friendships. It 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.360 was pretty special. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:07.800 It served a pretty prominent point in all of our developments, 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.920 I think, I mean, I know, right, because that was 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.760 our environment. That was it, That's where we all kind 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:15.319 of grew up. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:16.640 That was it. 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.000 And I just know that, you know, I loved I 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.000 always loved working with you, and you were always just 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.920 happy and in a good mood and pleasant and prepared. 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.439 You were just you were like the perfect acting partner 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.720 and you fit seamlessly into the cast, so we were 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.120 all just thrilled that you were there. 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.199 I you know, it's mutual. I remember, like we used 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:41.920 to have so much fun. Though we used to like 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:46.160 put on weird wigs and laugh and the trailer and 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.520 everything that I remember is actually offset, you know. I 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.640 definitely remember certain scenes and the work that we did 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.320 and feeling really lucky that they wrote me into scenes 0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.120 with everybody. You know. I loved our scenes together, and 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.320 but it's the off camera stuff that I remember the most. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.600 Well, it's like one of your favorite memories. 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.000 We you and I in particular, were always super gigly. 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.360 But I remember, like probably towards the end when I 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:19.400 think it was Janet's bachelorette party, maybe it was a 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.920 baby shower. Was the baby shower or was it? Or 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:27.000 was it Donna's It was Donna's bachelor Okay, and this 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.520 is so naughty, but you know, we had shot like 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.480 our important parts of the scenes, but someone brought yellow shots. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.000 I think it was some time. About this a million times, 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.840 but like I was not I was. I was such 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:40.760 a good girl at work and we had tons of 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.120 fun off off camera of course, but like we were, 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.680 there was the moment of knowing that I was included 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:50.760 in this part of like TV history, but also having 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.800 so much fun with you guys, my friends. It was 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:57.079 so great. I don't know. It was a yellow shots. Also, 0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.280 didn't we all get bikes? 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.360 Yes, that was one of the like a Christmas present 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:04.679 for everybody. We got bicycles. 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:05.760 We all got bikes. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.679 Where's that bike? Did you? You don't still have your 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:09.240 bike now? 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.200 I think I remember when I moved, I had to 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:11.959 get rid of it. 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:16.000 But yeah, what it was such a random gift too, 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.160 was and we were all we were around, Yeah, and 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.760 we were famous at that point, not like we could 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:26.360 go out on a bike ride that was total around 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.720 on our bicycles exactly. There was just like a hundred 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:34.040 bikes on the lot wherever we were on Kester and Calvert, 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:34.560 is that right? 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.800 Yeah, and everyone was on their bikes in the parking lot. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.040 I just I just remember feeling like this is so 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:47.080 like it's all kind of like a dream, you know. Yeah. 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.439 I love it that you had that perspective, like coming 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:55.600 into it, maybe even appreciating it more from your perspective. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.640 Yeah, I wondered for you guys too, Like eight seasons 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.560 is a long time that's a long time. And by 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.160 the time I got there, those eight seasons were under 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:09.480 your belt. And because of this what we're talking about, 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.760 you know, growing and having your actual social life, your 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.160 all of your moments, all of your sort of development 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.720 happened in that atmosphere with those people. I always wondered 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.080 how you guys felt in season eight. But you would 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.040 like show up and do amazing work, and the characters 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.840 would evolve and and you know, I just felt so 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:34.560 so like lucky to be a part of the end there, 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.120 because that's so emotional and iconic. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.120 You know, Yeah, I think we were. I for one 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:45.360 was just it didn't ever I'm sure there are moments 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.160 when it felt like work, and there were a lot 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.280 of things that I had to like grow through. Yeah, 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.440 but it felt it didn't feel like eight seasons. It 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.800 didn't ever feel like this arduous, like I have to 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.400 go to work. It felt like I'm going going to 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.680 hang out all day with my friends and the crew 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.600 and you know, just have a great day. Everybody's there 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:13.560 together making something that you know, we were proud. 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.280 Of, and you always pretty much led with that and 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.240 felt that way you could tell, you know, like. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.680 I think so till the very end. I mean, I'm 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.680 sure I had my moments, but or maybe when I 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.800 was like trying to grapple with why this storyline or 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:32.760 why this line or whatever, But in general, the feeling 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.160 of just this is such a cool situation. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.400 Yeah, I oftentimes think, especially because you know today everything 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.000 is like, you're lucky if you get one season of 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.560 can we did like thirty two episodes or whatever it was? 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.640 You know, I can't remember, but I always wonder if 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.840 you look back and actually know that you were a 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:59.560 part of something like it's you're like nine or two, 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.520 and I was one out of a handful of shows 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.200 that had that kind of run, had that sort of 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:08.960 icon status for all of you, you know, Like I know, 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.520 for me to this day, people were like Janet and 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.600 it was so long ago, and I was literally I got. 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.480 Of course they do. If I saw you in the 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.720 grocery store, I would flip out, like Janet, especially because 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.920 I watch the show every week now and just now 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.720 is the time when you are starting to get a 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.840 lot more airtime and more stories. 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.160 Like where are you at now? 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.720 We're episode twenty eight in season eight's we're almost through 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.520 season eight? Because you kind of came in the middle. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.360 Baby that makes sense and a very slow grow yeah, 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.640 which I was just talking with Amy about that. I 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:48.480 appreciated because we got to know you before we were 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.200 forced to accept you as not as an actor, but 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.400 as a person watching the show a fan. I got 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.440 to know you more, and then I was rooting for 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.040 you instead of just having so often the characters were 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.080 just like thrown in and we were all hanging out 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.119 of the peach pit together, like no, there was no 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.840 real backstory ever, but we've gotten to know a little 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.200 bit more about you. That your parents were both hippies, 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.800 just like fun stuff, and that you were you were feisty, 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.959 and you didn't you know, you didn't lose your voice 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.960 in front of your bosses. The guys at work. You know, 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.880 they were young, but they were your bosses. And your 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.119 time on the show actually touched on a lot of 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:37.199 things like cultural differences, pregnancy before marriage, a career, a 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:42.080 career driven woman who's not afraid of her sexual side. 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.399 In the episode we just watched, I would, you know, 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.600 everybody would want to know how much of Janet was 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:54.560 actually Lendsy coming through those words so interesting. 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:59.199 I've never thought about it until just now. What you 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.320 just said was so was so interesting. But I think 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.560 fans got to know Janet the way that you would 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.240 get to know somebody in real life, someone you work 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.359 with at the office, and do you have a couple 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.520 of interactions and then like all the information starts to build, 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:20.000 so you could really accept her as Steve's wife or 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.679 like baby mama or whatever it was. Yeah, it was 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.399 really a grown up storyline for me, to be honest. 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.120 At that time, I had only had like a couple 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:30.919 of boyfriends, do you know what I mean? Like I 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.960 was literally not I was more grown up than other 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.600 kids my age, but I was I didn't have I 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.159 wasn't even close to living that type of life with 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.520 like a office job and. 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.120 How old are you in real life? 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.000 When I need we need to google? But I feel 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.199 like I know my kids google it. I had my 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:57.040 twenty first birthday there with you guys, because I had 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.239 I threw a prom party, do you remember, And we 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.680 were in a warehouse downtown and I think I don't 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.760 know if you were there, but it was definitely during 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.480 that time. So like I was nineteen twenty twenty one, 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:08.600 I think I was. 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.080 So Yeah, being you weren't fully cooked yet. 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.040 No, being married and having a baby and all that 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.520 I was just it was just like so foreign to me. 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:26.200 So it was for real acting. But her tone, her feminism, 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:35.520 her sort of like feistiness, and intelligence, her Intelli. I 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.000 don't want to say I'm you know this, like, yes, 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:39.040 you were intelligence. 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.320 You exuded an intelligence that none of the other characters 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:42.880 really had. 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:46.280 Those things were always really important to me as a person, 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:51.080 to you know, like my education and morality and so 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:55.160 all those things were very easy to play. Oh right, yeah, 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:59.080 super aligned. But the having a baby and you know, 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:01.480 getting married, married and all that stuff that was so 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:03.040 far from where I was. 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:04.360 So far. 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.440 Yeah, it's crazy when you say that, because I'm thinking 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.199 where was I when this was happening. I had already 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.480 had a baby and was in this like grown up 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:19.320 situation of you know, homeowner, all the things that came of. 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:20.239 All of that. 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.760 Yeah, and then I remember just feeling like, yeah, my 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:28.359 kid is in the trailer sleeping, but Lindsay's here and 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.600 I'd rather hang out and giggle than go then go 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:32.120 be a mom. 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:35.800 Right now, we did so much giggling and so and 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:40.080 actually I thought about you many, many, many times since, 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:45.399 because I have, as a person and as an actor, 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.720 struggled with the work life balance my heart because I've 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:51.040 always done this, It's just a part of who I am. 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:54.800 As I mentioned, my heart's always been into places. And 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.000 I've had to be honest with you, a really hard 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:01.240 time balancing the drive and the focus that it takes 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.720 to be a successful actor. You know, you have to 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.240 really give it your all, not just with your time 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:10.880 but your attention, you know, balancing that with the type 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:13.399 of mom I want to be. It has been really 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:17.280 difficult for me. And I always think like, oh my god, 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:20.639 Jenny was doing it that whole time and I didn't 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:26.520 even notice, Like you did it so effortlessly. It seemed 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.720 to fetless. Yeah maybe, yeah, I. 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.280 Don't know what I was doing. It was just try 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:34.840 and figure it out as I was going. 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.000 But you didn't lose your joy. You never seemed stressed, 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.480 you know what I mean. Like it was really admirable 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:46.320 to look back after I had babies and think and yeah, 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:48.439 and I did. I really did think about you a lot, 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.720 especially right when the when when the boys were little babies, 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:54.440 I was just doing pilots. 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:05.680 Can we talk about the boys for a second, yeah, 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:09.320 when you when I found out that you had a baby, 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:14.320 I was like over the moon because I don't know, 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:15.919 I just felt like I had watched you grow up 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.280 and then you had a baby in real life, and 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:21.920 in my in my mind, I was like, oh, Steven 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:25.240
