It's we tried to connect 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.000 with you last and you were in Paris and they 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.960 were a bad connection. Yeah, I was. We were out 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.040 with the kids, had a couple of families and we 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:48.760 were playing in the park and it was kind of 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.760 hectic and thereon I couldn't get the thing correctly the 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.840 time zone. Yes. Oh we're happy you made it, made 0:00:55.840 --> 0:01:00.560 it happen today, Thank you, Yes, thank no problem. So 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.920 good to see you. We've we've been watching the show 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:08.559 back from the very beginning, can you imagine. Yeah, it's great. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.240 So we are we are on season four now. Currently. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.360 We want to jump back. We want to jump back 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:20.319 to what Stewart, what's all things Stewart? You were in 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:24.160 the beginning of season four, right, I was in actually 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:28.119 two roles in nine two and I played the bellhop 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.800 I think in the second season, or it might have 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.000 been the first season. I played the bellhop in Palm Springs, 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.959 I believe. Do you remember his name, David Gale? No, 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:43.680 I don't remember. It was Tom. Okay, okay, I figure 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.160 I didn't know either. I just read it from the producers. 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:52.320 But that was really that was incredibly surprising to me. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.960 You know, when he asked, when Aaron asked me back 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.680 to be on the show, it's a different character. I 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.200 was like, how is that possible? So and such a bigger, 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:06.000 bigger role. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was really interesting. Yeah, okay, 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.160 wait wait we like this stuff. When this happened, so 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.639 talk us through it. So you auditioned for Tom. Just 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.280 what happened was I was new. I just got into 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.200 La tell us about that less than a year, I think, 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.800 and he had had a reading for I had an 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:26.640 initial reading with I forget with with who, but he 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.320 you know, they thought that I would be, you know, 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.959 a good addition, maybe possibly as a recurring role right away. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:36.960 But I was green, you know. So I went in 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.720 there and I wanted to the big room in spelling 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.560 entertainment that had all the seats. It looked like a theater. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.960 And I remember I was so nervous. It was nerve wracking. 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.760 And you know, they listened to it and my agent asked, 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.760 you know, how did it go? Harry Gold? And I 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.880 was with Harry Gold who wasn't with Harry Goldry I 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:03.959 was with Harry Gold too, all of us. So anyway, um, yeah, 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.160 and uh, you know the word was you know, you 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.960 didn't get it. You know, you know how it goes. Uh, 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.560 you didn't get it, but they really liked you, so 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.880 they're going to give you a smaller role. So wait, wait, wait, 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.840 do you know what role you were trying out for. 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.239 I don't remember what the role was. I don't remember 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.760 who got it. I was. I was just trying to 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:27.480 hit all my auditions and I just kept moving, you know, so, um, yeah, 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.160 I forget the role. Actually, brand I know I was 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.600 going to say that, no, no, it was no, it 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.480 wasn't a series regular those are already established. Um, it 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.840 was a new recurring role. So but it was substantial, 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.600 and uh, you know, I was kind of bummed but 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.320 happy I got Yeah, And then he brought me back 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:53.360 later after i'd done. I think Robins hoods um up 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.800 at Vancouver and I was like, yeah, okay, you want 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.160 to bring me back for you know, so I auditioned 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.880 and Scott it. So that was a that was a big, 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.360 big role in a big effect, had a big effect 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.920 of my life, you know, personally, because you know, the 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.680 show was so popular and it's still popular in a 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.360 lot of places. And in Europe, you know, they still remember. 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:21.400 They're like, oh my god, that's right, and it's just crazy, 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.839 it's just insane. You know. I didn't recognized as Stuart, 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.600 not all the time. But yeah, you know you have 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:32.200 those people, and you know, Kelly, you have these people that, uh, 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:36.320 you know, they have an eye for faces. You can, 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.599 I don't care what you're wearing. They just go David 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.600 Gail and they list your resume and that's it's amazing. 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.919 But you know, and then you have every variation of that. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:51.120 But but yeah, yeah, during that time, you probably really 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.880 got recognized. As soon as those media episodes with Stewart 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.120 and Brenda Er. You were Brenda's man. I mean everybody 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.960 Hue I was in it. I was in uh, I'd 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.480 take my first trip to Europe. I was over in Greece. 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.680 Everywhere I went, it was like it was just InCred 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.599 Like I said, it changed my life so much because 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:14.000 it affected me so much personally, and uh yeah, everywhere 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.880 I went there was, you know, just a mob of 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.960 people around me. You know, as soon as one person 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.640 recognized me, it was it was it was just like 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.560 you know, dominoes. It was. Yeah. I remember being on 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.080 a boat coming from Greece to Italy and I was 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.200 on the top deck and my girlfriend was down in 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.760 the room and I had had the sense of one 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:36.599 down to tell her that I couldn't make it down 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.240 because I was surrounded on the top deck of this 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.200 huge ship by like a hundred you know, fans, and 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.200 it was really, it's really it's She was like, oh, yeah, okay, 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:53.080 he always gives that excuse what's he doing? It's just yeah, right, 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.440 what's you really up to? Yeah? So yeah, but it's 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.159 just you know, I described it, you know, this whole 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:06.080 thing from the moment I started booking roles on television. 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.200 You know, it's like if someone lifted your feet off 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:12.000 the ground, you can't really touch the earth the same way. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.520 You know, you walk into any place or any restaurant, 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.920 any place and someone knows you. It's just not normal, 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.960 you know, so wow, feet off the ground can't take 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.400 Jen and I have been searching for the reason for 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.880 thirty three years. My life has just been somewhere not normal. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.080 It's the it's your feet, it's your fink gen. Yes, 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.120 they don't hunker down some work boots and then we 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.039 could just go on just normal people. Uh. It's so true, though, 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.880 I mean, fame is um. No one really tells you 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.760 how to handle it right right right, how it's going 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.599 to handle you and stay with you for your lifetime journey. 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.719 I have a question, did anyone any hardcore Brenda Dylan 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:02.960 fans want to fight you? No? No, they were like, okay, 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.880 he took Brenda, that's fine. No, they were just happy 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.600 to meet you. You know it is I feel like 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.239 the Stewart was pretty well loved by people, even though Brenda. 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.640 I think the Brenda Dylan thing was kind of over 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.520 at that point because Kelly ruined it all. Uh before 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:24.920 people were really embracing this new character until he kind 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:29.200 of became you know, why did that happen? Were you 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.400 told that was going to happen? So I had a 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.600 conversation with by the way, Jen, Jen, you were like 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.480 the nicest. I mean, Luke was very nice, but Jen 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.880 was you were. You were so sweet and I remember 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.560 that vividly, and I just wanted to tell you that. 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:53.560 Um uh so what about me? That's funny. You look 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:59.000 great too, kid. So what happened was, I, uh, I 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.440 got a phone call from Aaron after we finished this series. 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.280 After we I guess we were in Vegas and we didn't, 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.440 you know, the marriage, and it just kind of or 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.320 what it didn't happen. I get exactly how it happened. 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.520 So what happened was, uh, he I got a phone 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.640 call and from my agent said, Aaron wants to speak 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.880 to you. He says, look, you know, uh, you know, 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.080 you're liked by a lot of people, and we're getting 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.600 too many emails and messages and and about where where 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.720 what happened to Stewart and you know, and so we 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.800 we we've decided to fix it. And I said, okay, 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.920 we're gonna bring you back. We're gonna make you an asshole. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.800 So that's when they set up the camping trip and 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.520 I said, okay, so he goes, so really really play that. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:53.600 So we're gonna set up the camping trip and uh 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:55.680 and in yours, she's gonna lock the keys in the 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.120 car and you're just gonna flip and you're gonna carry 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.640 that out all the way to to uh Palm Springs, 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:07.120 I think it was. And uh, you know, she'll throw 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.160 the keys of you. The keys will go in the pool, 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.559 whatever it is. And oh, you'll you'll blame it all 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.520 on you'll. You'll be late and you'll blame it all 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.000 on her. You know, you'll, you'll. So this is so 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.000 not Stewart though. Yeah, but they had to do and 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.520 I was like, you know what, Okay, so I really 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.600 played that up. So I thought that was fun. You 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:30.840 were good. Oh wait, okay, so you were also not 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.439 We can come back to nine to twenty. Oh, but 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.400 I have to jump into this what you were also 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:39.240 on a soap called Port Charles, right, Yes, I was. 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.000 I'm a big soap fan, so I get excited. Which 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.840 when we talked about soaps, she loves her soaps. Yeah. Well, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.480 we we also have six degrees of David Gale. Jenny 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:53.200 has one because my manager that I've been with for 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.840 a million years, his son who I held in diapers, 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:02.439 played your son on Port Charles. Do you remember Colton James. 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.720 You remember Colton? I remember he's on a second Yes, 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.720 I do remember Colton.

How do you know him? 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.080 He played your son? No, he was an actor, but 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.600 now he's following his father's footsteps and he is a manager. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.599 He's one of my managers now. So yeah, he was 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.120 a sweetheart. It was it was really but that was fun. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.040 That's difficult. He was sick a lot. He was in 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:41.200 a hospital bed. Yeah that's right. Yeah, okay, you know 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:56.400 that's funny. You were on quite a number of Port 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.920 Charles episodes. One year, I had a three year con 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.120 tracked and uh, one year is all it took to 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.600 do two hundred and sixteen episodes. It's a two hundred 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.960 and sixteen that's what that's our factor here, three or four? 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:14.520 Doctor Joe Scanlon, No, it couldn't wait three. Yeah, maybe 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.360 how many episodes? Two hundred and sixteen says on our report. 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.920 That's a wild from nineteen ninety nine to two thousand. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.439 I don't know if that's possible, but I mean I 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.080 did They said you would be in a minimum like 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:33.040 three episodes a week, but you know, sixty pages a day. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.920 It's like crazy, right, it's insane. I remember this one time. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.520 I hadn't done any preparation. This is an actor's nightmare. 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.680 You know. You you tell me you're coming, you're it's 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.400 a stage call, and you haven't memorized your lines. It's 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:53.360 it's horrific and panic. Right. Yeah, So it was a 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.520 night before and it's every day, you know, every day 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.199 it's a new episode, and you know you have nine scenes. 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:03.360 So I had They had nine scenes about three pages 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:08.320 each each one, so about twenty seven and I had 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.760 just I was just like spend. I don't know what 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.920 was going on, but I put it off. I put 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.640 it off. I couldn't believe it. I kind of read 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.079 through it and I was so tired, so as I said, look, 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.320 i'll just get up early and I wake up at 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.599 five and I'll just start hammering this out. And I 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.960 got to I got cornered basically on time, so I 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:34.760 had to go in. So I basically read through about 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.800 thirty pages of dialogue and just highlighted myself and just 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.080 read it through like three times and didn't memorize. It 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.600 just went off like what the emotion was, what was 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.560 happening in the scene, And I just kind of offered 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.280 it up to like maybe I'll remember this for some reason, 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.240 like maybe I will. I have to. So it was 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.240 high stress and I was trying to slide under it 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.120 and just play, you know, calm myself down so that 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:04.320 my brain could actually do this, and you know, I 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.760 had a couple of hiccups, but it worked. I couldn't 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:12.400 believe it, but wow, it Yeah, it was pounding story. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.520 I didn't know what it's going to happen. I think 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.920 that's happened to everyone every after out there, where you 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.880 you put it off, you don't do your memorization, and 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.520 then you're all of a sudden on you're like, oh shit, 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.440 yeah you're like that huge log. I thought that was 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:33.200 the next day I had time. Oh it's right now. Yeah. Yeah, 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.200 it must be so much harder for the soaps with 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:40.400 such a high number of page count. It was, yeah, 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:47.160 it was. It was. I mean it's many times I 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.720 get on the set and I'm like, wait a minute, 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.960 give me, what did I call them? The mini sides? 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:57.120 The mini sides? Don't we don't remember those anymore because 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.680 they no longer worked with us because we need glasses. Yeah, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:05.760 we have the big sides now the full script page. Yes, yes, 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:10.120 well yeah, so how are you doing, Tori calling the 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:16.640 que cards. I'm doing well.

I'm just excited that this 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:30.360 It rarely happens. She's let her have her movement. And 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.720 your dad was so sweet to me. You really really was. 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.960 I was kidding. I think, thank you. My dad loved you, 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.520 and I mean, as you know my dad, when he 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.440 loved somebody, he went on to use them as much 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.360 as he could. I mean, he kept putting you in 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:51.160 things too bad. The other two shows didn't right completely work. 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:57.320 So first Robin Hoods Robin's Hoods, Robins uh, and then Savannah, 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.960 which was really special to him.

Yeah, yeah, he really, I was really, you know, 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:13.960 more so afterward he was he was gone. I really realized, 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.960 like god, I can't I can't believe if he did 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.440 that for me, because when I was going through the 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.440 you know, many auditions trying to get but I wasn't 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.520 putting it together. I didn't realize because I wasn't. I 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.160 was new to Hollywood, and people are saying, don't you 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.200 know what's going on?

When the last time I saw him 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.880 was in the elevator at Spelling Entertainment and he was 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.040 in I was coming out of charmed audition, which I 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.000 did not yet, and I got into the elevator. He 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.480 came in with two attorneys on the side, and he's 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.320 he's all me, and he his face just lit up, 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.840 and he gave me a big kiss, like he kissed me, 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:07.640 and he hugged me like for the longest time, and 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.560 he said, do you know he kissed on the lips? Right, yeah, 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.640 he kissed me on the lips. He was a kisser. 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:17.520 He kissed me all over. I loved it. Woman anyone. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.360 His lawyers were like, uh, mister Spelling, we have to go. 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:22.960 He goes, hang on, I'm gonna tell you about this 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:24.960 guy there, sir, we have to go. We have to 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.080 go to this meeting. So he was very very sweet 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:32.840 to me. I was very lucky, very lucky. You're you're 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.360 living in France now, No, I'm in Florida. Now, yeah, 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.040 you're in Florida. Now, I'm in Florida. I moved back 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:44.040 here with my son, and I'm making my way back 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.240 to the Los Angeles probably within a year. So, oh good. 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.880 And do you have hopes of going out for stuff again? Yeah? 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.320 Getting back in there. Yeah, I would like to sure. 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:59.680 So you know, I missed California. I miss you know, 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.480 my career in the business. I know it's difficult, but 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:08.240 you know I it's not intimidating to me in the 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.440 sense that I, you know, I have something to offer, 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.240 so yeah, whatever. Yeah, you're so talented and you have 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.840 such a great look. Now you're just like a different 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:20.680 kind of leading man, you know, Yeah, definitely different. It's 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:25.920 so handsome. Oh thank you. Why the name Stuart, Where 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:31.000 did that come from? That always confused me? To Stewie 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.280 A good a good looking guy, has it all why Stewart? 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:39.000 What a great what a great? Yeah. I just really 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.000 enjoyed that character. You know, when Sonny, when I came 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.000 to the set, I don't know if you remember, but 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.560 like it was I felt, you know, I was kind 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.000 of an outcast in the as a character right in 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.240 the group, kind of an outcast in the right zeph 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:57.320 Forth Shannon for a period um well brenda um. But 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.760 I was also like when I came on set, I 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.360 felt like that also a little bit. Not that everyone 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:07.080 wasn't welcoming, they were, but but I just felt like, 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.320 oh my god, these guys are already up and running, 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.560 they're doing their own thing, and I'm just a guy 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.639 coming in. And it was the first time I had 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:19.560 a recurring role coming up into a you know, an 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:23.840 established cast like that. So it was really a paralleled 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:26.439 a lot of things. The character paralleled a lot of 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:30.240 things that I was feeling just in general. But um, yeah, 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.800 it was a great role. I mean there's so many 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.919 aspects of it. You know, my father such an asshole, 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.440 I forget what his name. He was always putting me down, 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:44.919 and you know, him being rich, possibly dealing drugs, he 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.520 was you know, there was a time. You remember Howard Fine, right, 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.440 Howard Fine. Yeah, that was my acting coach. Yeah, yeah, 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.520 so Howard Fine. I coached with him on this and 0:18:55.800 --> 0:19:00.639 I said, he's got he's got me sane, Howard. You know, 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.920 kisses with you or like potato chips, I can't eat 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.560 just one. And I said, how can I say that? 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.960 He goes, that's gold. You go deep into that and 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.600 you say it with all the passion and you know, 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:19.280 like you sell that, that's you don't run away from that. 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.320 And that's when the role changed for me that I 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:28.199 could get sappy, but I had to really like, you 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.600 know it in one on one. But I was trying 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:35.640 to change the lines and you know, and he was like, no, 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.840 that's that's a beautiful line. You know. So that that 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:40.960 was one of the moments where I really defined the character. 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:44.120 It was like we always thought that Stewart and Brenda 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.960 had really great chemistry. I remember watching those episodes and 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:50.520 thinking that they made a good couple. Yeah. Yeah, we 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.560 had a lot of fun. It was. It was really 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.399 really fun. You know. I remember the first kiss we 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.359 had on set. It was like it was and then 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.199 kneeling down and proposing to and all those things. It 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.840 was just kids. What was the kids like? The kiss 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.199 was great, but I was so nervous, you know, I 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.159 was you know, you get the cameras all around. The 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:12.880 Chris was wonderful. But you know it was actually really nice. 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.800 I do remember it. It was it was nice. It 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:19.280 was you know, soft, it was gentle, it was Yeah. 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.960 I wasn't removed from the moment. I was in the moment. 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.760 So that's that's a good sun. You could tell. You 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:26.840 could tell you guys were doing a great job at that. 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:32.320 It was nice. Who was the first cast member? If 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.440 you can remember that, you met walking onto set, walked 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.000 on the set. It was in the valley, walked that 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:42.240 big warehouse. Yea nice. Yeah, I remember they had the 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:48.200 vivid warehouse next to us. The poor now yeah, actually 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.600 but I walked in and all of the director's chairs 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:52.320 were in a group, and all of you were sitting 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:55.119 in a group. And Luke stood up on the foot 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.720 footstool of this chair and he goes David Gail, and 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.240 I said, yes, he goes, welcome to the show. And 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:05.960 he jumped down and he said I'm Luke Perry. I 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.159 go yeah, yeah, I know you are nice to meet you. 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.560 So that was the first person I met. Yeah, and 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.879 then I you know, I met everyone at that moment 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.439 also right after. But yeah, I remember him doing that. 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:21.640 He was good. He was a good uh what would 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.800 you say, ambassador for the for the show. I guess, 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.359 a good ambassador how to live a kind life. I 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:31.840 can remember. I can see him doing that as you 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:38.040 described that. Can't you just see Luke standing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.840 he goes, yeah, welcome to the show. Is anyone not 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:47.920 nice to you? No? Distance, No, I didn't talk much 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:51.800 with Brian Austin Green where Brian um we we did, 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.359 I mean in the beginning, and then later on we 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:57.040 warmed like we got closer and I was in his 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:00.640 like his uh his room there on set, and then 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.480 we talked about a few things and and Ian I 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:09.520 didn't I mean, Ian is ah right, he'd be proud 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:13.560 of course, so I uh and I we we had 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.400 some moments off and on.

But Shannon, see, 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:27.600 the thing was that it was funny how like our 0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:34.200 onset um relationship developed as our as our characters developed, 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:39.399 so like left first days where we hadn't established anything 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:42.040 and we were shooting like just meeting or whatever it was. 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.200 Um it was you know, she didn't really we didn't 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:50.400 really talk about We just let that happen on sets. 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:52.960 And I was kind of like, I was like, Okay, 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:56.800 just don't push anything.
