0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>so it actually goes back to two thousand and three. Um,

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I had just graduated from college. I was twenty one,

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't even have an agent at that time.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I had been a theater student at USC but I

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>had a manager and UM. Towards the end of the summer,

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>she let me know I had an audition or the

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>show The Gilmore Girls, which up to that point I

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>had never seen. UM. So I started asking around with friends.

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I said, what what kind of show is this? UM?

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Is it any good? And I was told, well, the

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>writing is really good and they talk really fast on

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the show, so when you go to the audition, show

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>them that you can talk fast. And so I I

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>looked into it. UM. I saw that Edward Herman was

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>on the show, who I loved, and UM went in

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>for the audition and it was interesting because UM as I,

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>as I later found out, I think somebody showed me

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>an article and it was right while this was going on.

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know, this was the season that I was

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>auditioning for was Rory's first year at Yale, and there

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>was some article that had been written and I think

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Amy had been quoted saying, well, now that she's left

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>behind these two guys uh in stars Hollow, we are

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>going to parade you know, every young man in town

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>in front of her. And I guess I was. I

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>was one of those young men because when I went

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to the audition. Um, you know, these auditions are always

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>staggered and scheduling wise for forever reason, everybody showed up

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, and it was just an entire

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>lobby filled with with people. It was like you know,

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>looking into a mirror, but but or multiplicity. With Michael Keaton.

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.959
<v Speaker 1>There was thirty of us, um and every everybody insecure,

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>everybody uh, you know, staring each other down. And I

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>went in for the audition and I just immediately clicked

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>with the casting directors and they brought me back to

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to read for Amy and I think some of the

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>other producers, and then I I got the gig and

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>they told me to show up, and I think I

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>was still twenty one at this point. Showed up to

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the to the sound stage in Burbank and and that's

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>where the real kind of adventure began. What do you

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>remember about being on set? I mean I was I

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>was terrified. I mean, you know, my this was this

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>was not I mean, this was this was my first

0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>professional audition, much less gig and um there you know,

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>there there were people there that were established now celebrities,

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>and I had never worked on a sound stage like

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that before. They were just all. You know, there were

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>bells and literally bells going off and I didn't know

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>what they meant. They sounded like fire alarms. Fine that

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, that just means they're filming. Um. Then you've

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>got those those big hot lights, these big alien cameras

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>staring at you and um and that's before you Then

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you get to the fact that that that you then

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>have to perform, and you're performing within again and established

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 1>famous actress um and and you know, the people on

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.799
<v Speaker 1>set really did everything they could to make me feel comfortable.

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>UM and and and by the way, and the when

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 1>I went in for the costume fitting, I don't know

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.359
<v Speaker 1>what a couple of days earlier. UM, they liked the

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>jeans I was wearing and my Chuck Taylor Converse shoes,

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>so they just had me wear those um for the shooting.

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that that made me feel comfortable. You know,

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 1>I was in my comfortable warning jeans and shoes. UM.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>And the director whose name I can't recall at the moment,

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 1>although it's knowable, she was great and she really tried

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 1>to put me at ease. Uh. And you know it

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>was it was a couple couple hours. You know, we

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 1>filmed the scene from as you do, from multiple angles,

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>and I was just trying to relax and be chatty

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>with Alexis bladell getting nowhere with that, um you know,

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I I was there for one scene in

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the first episode. I was in that scene in the

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>laundry room. So it was just a very very quick scene.

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>She had a whole day ahead of her and just

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>just was not I wouldn't I wouldn't take it personally.

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:53.119
<v Speaker 1>She was just probably trying to conserve, conserve her because

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>those are those are tough long days to get through. Yeah. Yeah,

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>and I could even sense that. Um, I think she

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>and other cast members, I could just tell we're just exhausted,

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, from from that from that grind, I don't

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>think it's easy for anybody. And uh um, but you know,

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm always trying to lighten the mood and always getting

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>nowhere over that. So um yeah, it was. It was

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>a couple of hours and of just you know that

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that one scene and uh, you know, I left the

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>set and of course it did what I called my

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>mom right away, like like she demanded I do, uh,

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>and you know, told her all about it, and so

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>it was a lot of fun. So she got the scoop,

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:41.159
<v Speaker 1>all right, okay, yeah, yeah. Now the second episode I

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>was in, it was a little bit different because I

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 1>had multiple scenes and I wasn't cast on the fly,

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>so I actually got to go to the table read

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.599
<v Speaker 1>for that one. I sat next to Lauren Graham, um,

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.919
<v Speaker 1>and got to meet some of the other cast members

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:57.919
<v Speaker 1>as well and some of the other people that worked

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>on the show and go through that whole table read experience.

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>And that wasn't much that that that was also filmed

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 1>in one day. I think it was four scenes filmed

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>over the course of one day, But that was a

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>much longer day than the first time, so I actually

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>started to feel pretty beat by the end of it. Yeah,

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>do you remember what you had for lunch? I don't

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>know that I had lunch, but I think I think

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I knew if I ate anything, I would just get tired.

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>But but in the in the scene that uh that

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>in in I think there's a scene in the second

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>episode where Rory and I are in a in a

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>classroom having a discussion at some sort of debating Middle

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>East politics or something like that, and um, you know,

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>there were there were snacks in the room. Um. On

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the set that were there as as essentially props. But

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I think they said something to the effect that if

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>you want, you know, you can grab some of that

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>and bring it to the table, because everybody's supposed to

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>be kind of munching in this scene. And so I

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>saw a bunch of bagels there and just there's a

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>little nod to my Jewish roots. Um took a bagel,

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>took a big bite out of it to demonstate so

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>that it would look like I had been in the

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 1>process of eating it, and put it on the table

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>in front of me. But that bite of the bagel

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>might have been the only thing I actually ate that day.

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I think I was just otherwise too nervous to get

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 1>So your scenes with Alexis, and we have people writing

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>in questions. This is from Amanda and uh Knoxville, Tennessee

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 1>your scenes with Alexis in episode eleven, from the argument

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>in the International Relations Club and the confrontation of the

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 1>dining hall were so good? Were there a lot of

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>takes with the pencil twirling. She wants to know that

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>is a good question, that's very obscure. I was. I was, no,

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's a great question, because I was obviously

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>very very conscious of the pencil twirling at the time. Um,

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.959
<v Speaker 1>by the way, for what it's worth, I don't think

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I ever understood what I was saying in that scene.

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think I've even gone back and and listened

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.079
<v Speaker 1>to the dialogue more carefully, and I still don't even

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>know if I know what it was I was really

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 1>ultimately saying. But as far as the pencil goes, no,

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't recall there being a number. I don't think

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>there were many takes. I think I was such a

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 1>good pencil twirler at that point already that it was natural,

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>that was second nature. Well, there was a this is

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>from Mary Beth from Seattle. Uh, the tension between you two,

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 1>you could feel we could we feel we could have

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>taken it further and maybe a love interest. Was there

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 1>a discussion with the writers for that at all? Yeah,

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that. I think going back to what I

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>said earlier about having a bunch of young men parade

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>in front of her over the course of her freshman year. Um,

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think they just after a number after

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>she had had a number of encounters and a number

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>of episodes have been filmed. I think they they made

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>a decision to just take stock and see who the

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 1>best candidates were from potential love interests. So certainly, I

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>think when those scenes were being filmed, it was understood

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>that there was a potential love interest angle there that

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>was in the works, just depending on with which actor

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.319
<v Speaker 1>she she had the most chemistry. And uh, I guess,

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess I wasn't that actor. So um, you know,

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I I don't know about that. There's all kinds of

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 1>reasons people get parts and uh don't get parts and

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>has nothing to do with with their acting, you know

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. There's all kinds of stuff. I don't know.

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.199
<v Speaker 1>I think that I think that maybe they were looking

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 1>to see who had like a natural rapport with her

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 1>winning character and that sort of thing, you know. As

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I said that, that show is very specific about the

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.560
<v Speaker 1>writing and the characters and how things play out, and

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.679
<v Speaker 1>I think they really just, you know, they just wanted

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to take stock and see who the best candidate was,

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>just in terms of that rapport with Rory or Alexis.

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Did you, uh, did you watch the episode when it

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>came out and did you watch it before you came

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 1>on here today? Um? So yes and no, um, And

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I certainly considered watching again in preparation for this so

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I definitely watched it when it came out. I watched,

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I watched with my family. You know, my mom was

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>my biggest fan. I think acting and me being an

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 1>actor was really her dream for me more than it

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>really was mine. Um And, and she actually passed away

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>shortly after I filmed these episodes. Um but and I

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I was just always very very thankful that that she

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>got to have that experience of seeing her boy on TV,

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>which I think was a bigger thrill for her than

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 1>it was for me. Um So that was awesome. And

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I and I and I watched with them with my

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 1>with my parents, and I think some other family was there.

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Um But as for watching in preparation for this podcast,

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I really wanted to. But I I I'm

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>one of those actors. I have a really difficult time

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>watching myself after the fact. Uh it is. I find

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:32.680
<v Speaker 1>it to be a thoroughly painful experience, and I think

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and interestingly, as more time goes on, I find it

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 1>even more difficult. And at some point, I guess I'll

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>have to show this stuff. I have two little girls.

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll have to show them. You know, these episodes from

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.679
<v Speaker 1>that time Daddy was on TV. But I I can't.

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't watch the Gilmore Girls episode. I can't watch

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>any of the other shows that I did. So that's

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>a that's a common theme with many many of my

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>actor friends. UM. I share that with you as well. UM,

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 1>it's hard for me to watch these episodes. I have

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to do the podcast, and I'm twenty two years removed

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 1>from it, so it's a little easier. But I know

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>how you feel. UM. Uh do people remember you from

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the show? People come up to you on the street

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and said, Hey, you're William the laundry guy. So that's

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.199
<v Speaker 1>that's a good question. So for for so long, there

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 1>no UM. And for a while there now UM and

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>and uh. But UM as the years went on, and

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>that whole um, the whole binge watching experience exploded and

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and and people started streaming and all that UM and

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>it and it had been in uh circulation for a

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 1>while or extumeing syndication. UM. Once in a while, I

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 1>would get noticed. I got I got noticed and I

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>got noticed by a by a flight attendant when I

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 1>was flying to Las Vegas from my bachelor party. And

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I remember and she recognized me and was fawning over me.

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>And I remember thinking, well, why didn't this happen before

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I was going to a bachelor party and then and

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 1>then and then and then and then, um when a

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>when a makeup artist actually came to our when I

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 1>was getting married. Um, a makeup artist came to my

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>apartment to do a trial run with my wife to

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>make sure they were getting everything right for the wedding.

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>And I was only there for a minute. I left

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the apartment, and apparently after I left, she said, So,

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>this is so random, but was your husband on the

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Gilmore Girls? And um and so um so so again

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and so odd that all these things keep happening in

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the context of my my wedding. But yeah, and so

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>it's happened a couple other times since then, but but

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>only once people started bingering, I think, once they had

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 1>seen these episodes three or four times and become experts

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 1>on them. So, um, so you haven't acted in a while.

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 1>What are you up to now? So I'm actually a

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 1>um uh an attorney and I do um consumer work,

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>um sort of class action mass towards stuff on the

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>on the planiff side and so um and so uh

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I've been heavily involved in some of those opioids cases

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>that you're reading about, um uh in the news. I

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>was just in New Mexico for a two month opioids

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 1>trial against pharmacies. UM. I've taken on to other pharmaceutical

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 1>companies Bristol Myers, squib sanit Fee for the pharmaceutical drug Clavits.

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I've represented um classes of plaintiffs against banks, mortgage servicers,

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>medical device manufacturers, that sort of thing. And you know,

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 1>by the way, and I hate to I hate to

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of skip around a derail, but I actually remember

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 1>in the in the table read for the for I

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.520
<v Speaker 1>guess it was episode eleven of that season. UM, I

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 1>think you had a scene involving a shovel that you

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 1>had loaned somebody. Am I getting this right? Or does

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 1>this even ring a bell? No? Keep talking about maybe

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.240
<v Speaker 1>it'll bring it back, but go ahead. Well, I think

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it was something like you were you were shoveling a

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>walkway with her shop with with UM with Laurel I

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>shovel and as you walked away with it, she said

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys had a fight, and she saithing like you

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>better bring that back, and you said something like I

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 1>lent this to you six years ago, and I remember

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 1>actually laughing out loud uh in the read. I don't

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>know if that sounds from anyway. Getting getting back to

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 1>your question, I've basically been an attorney for the last

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 1>twelve years. I got after acting, I got um politically

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>involved in some campaigns, and that was when I really

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 1>realized that, you know, I think this acting thing was

0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>really my my mom's dream for me and not my own.

0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have. I always enjoyed it. I always loved

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 1>television movies. I shouldn't have a passion for it, you know.

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think that when I think that, you know,

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you get one chance at life, and and let people

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>always say you find that thing that you love, you

0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 1>will never work a day in your life. And that

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.959
<v Speaker 1>just was not acting for me. Too many nerves, um

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and no real passion. So got into law and I

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 1>really never looked back. Well, good for you. Your sounds

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 1>like you're really helping out humanity, trying to you know,

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 1>clawback some of those dollars in exchange for Well, that's

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>just a wonderful wonderfulness. You're ready to play rapid fire, Okay,

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna I'm gonna fire question that you gotta

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be Gilmore esque in its speed. How many

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.960

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>How could it don't make me a fine team? Uh?

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:11.399
<v Speaker 1>You just? What's your favorite Gilmore Girls character? I would

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 1>probably have to go with William the guy in the laundry.

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 1>There you go short of that, listen, I come on,

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 1>that's it's such so many great characters, so many great actors.

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 1>But because I grew up in the eighties and was

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 1>a big Lost Boys fan, I I just I always

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:32.400
<v Speaker 1>loved Edward Herman. But but it's just so many great characters. Sorry,

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm not being wrapping. No, no, no, no, that's okay,

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:40.159
<v Speaker 1>that's okay. What would you order at Luke's Diner? Oh? Man? Uh?

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 1>You know my diets changed so much since those days.

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.879
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can't really eat. I get reflux with

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.400
<v Speaker 1>so many You really are a lawyer, aren't you? Yeah?

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>You really are? You take the floor, man. I would

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 1>just say I would just get a coffee and just

0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.440
<v Speaker 1>sim to all the clever conversations people were having. Would

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you would you rather go on road trip with Taylor

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 1>or Michelle? Would it break hearts if I said I
