0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:21.599
<v Speaker 1>Our wild vegasin consisted mostly of Will and me and

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.080

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>came coming over and hanging out with his wife. Um.

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>But other than that, we were at an iHeart kickoff

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 1>party for the I Heart Music Festival here. Um. But yeah,

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>by the time it wound down, it was just a

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>three of us pretty much. We're you know, we're big

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>partiers in our boys. Do either of you gamble? No? No,

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 1>it was so funny. I you know, I used to

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>play like poker and blackjack back in the day, and then, um,

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I recently, I was in Vegas on a road trip

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>last year and um, my brother was watching my son

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>for a minute, and my wife and I had like

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>free time in a casine and we sat down for

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>five minutes and I lost forty dollars. I was like,

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.119
<v Speaker 1>this is dumb. Yes, it's just I'm walking away from

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>this situation rather just have a drink and talk to you.

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>You're You're way more fun than me losing money, so

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm frustrated and poorer. Yeah, this is awesome. Like what

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it. I mean, poker, I get because

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>you're actually playing the other people. But but I would

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>just rather play at home. The idea of playing like

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>in a casino. Order. You went through a poker phase,

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:29.559
<v Speaker 1>didn't you, Danielle Um. Yeah, it's not necessarily the proudest

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>time of my life, made like drive to commerce and

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>like I remember you, yeah, well yeah, I was really

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.559
<v Speaker 1>into it. I played at all the l a local casinos.

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I played in multiple different events, and then I used

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>to host poker nights at my house. Uh, and would

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>play until the sun came up. So would you get

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>recognized at these casinos? Yes, yes, yes, of course. Was

0:01:52.400 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>that intimidating for people? I don't know. It's when I

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>think it actually was the opposite. People would see me

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and think, uh, oh wow, I'm gonna be able to

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, take her for all of her money. Yeah,

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>my wife had the same advantage like women. I mean,

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it's changed now, but back when we used

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to play in like two thousand and eight, it was

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>still like a weird thing for a woman to be

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>playing poke and they would always underestimate her and that

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>she would use that to her advantage every time. It

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>was so good. Yeah, yeah, it's great. It's great when

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>that happens, for sure, And then it's all. It also

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>sucks when it doesn't work out, when you're like, oh, man,

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.119
<v Speaker 1>I've got a great hand, and then like on the river,

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you get taken and you're like, now they think now

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that I like played into it. Now they think that

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>is true, and then you have to stick around long

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>enough to prove them wrong. It just becomes a whole thing.

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad I don't live. I mean I would still play,

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Don't get me wrong. They would definitely still play, and

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I do still play. I like playing. I just have

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>a more um like healthy relationship with it now. It

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>used to be like my number one favorite thing to do,

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and anytime I could get people together to play, I

0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>would I would do it. And I used to just

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>like watch it also on TV. No, I didn't know

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>anything about poker whatsoever, to the point where when people

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>were telling me about it, I was literally one of

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.119
<v Speaker 1>the first questions I asked was why are you all

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>playing on a river? Like where do you have to go?

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>And they're like no, no, no, Like because I, well,

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I hit it on the river. I'm like, that's hip

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 1>the river that you gotta play in. People do play

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>on river boats. That is like a thing writer and

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 1>I just had an interesting experience in the elevator on

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the way up. Well, I can't wait to hear this

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>story somebody who recognized us. We can Yeah, I'm pretty

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>sure that's what this poor woman the elevator doors opened jo.

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>She was holding a giant full cup of Starbucks coffee,

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>which I was immediately about to ask her about, because

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>you find coffee. I was like, where did you find this?

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>And then she walked in and was looking at us

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and let the doors close on her and just dropped

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the coffee all over the elevator and we we were fine,

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>but she was like it was just so clear. I

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 1>was watching her face. I was like, she recognized us

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>and then like kind of lost control of her body

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>for a moment or like forgot where she was. And

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean the door slum and she is hip checked

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>by the door and and her poor friend is like,

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>oh my god. And then they have to get in

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the elevator dripping with so she's next to us like,

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry I didn't get you, guys, I didn't.

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>There's a puddle of copy on the on the elevator floor. Yeah,

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 1>we felt that about Oh my gosh, and then did

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 1>you guys get off on the same floor, did you

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>guys like follow them down the hallway to get here

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to the Presidential Like I'm like, she's probably crying right

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>now after she was dying for to be alone for

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>just two seconds to say to her friend, this is

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the this is the moment of my life. Do you

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.719

<v Speaker 1>can't wait to talk about it. Chris, welcome, all right.

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>First have to tell you, guys, thank you, thank you,

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 1>thank you for inviting me, because I was a small

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 1>part of your career on that show, just the first season.

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>There were so many people came in after me. But

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to know, it really means a lot that

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you thought about me and bring me down the show

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>of a huge part of the show. You we're only

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>there for the first season, because you seem like you

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>were there for so much longer and the reason we'll

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>talk about that later. Why when I moved on. It's

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>very interesting. But you guys, I can lead the conversation.

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>You can't. You know I can talk. Yes, well, we're

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 1>really excited about you being able to talk. I do

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 1>have a question, how did you get the job as

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>our dialogue coach? What was that process? How did you

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>get to us? That's a great way to start. Okay,

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>As some of you know, I am an acting coach.

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I've taught twenty thousand kids of this series of twenty

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>years and personally my actings to school literally started in

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.319
<v Speaker 1>my garage in North Hollywood when it first got to

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.959
<v Speaker 1>l a from New York. And one of my students,

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the mother Bobby I remember her, was best friends with

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>April Kelly. So he said to me that you show

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 1>come out called the Ben Savage Project. Yeah, okay, but

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't like going to parties. I do not. I

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>still don't like going to parts, but she's like the

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 1>party I went and I met one April April Kelly

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 1>that you all know April as the co creator of

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>boy Me's World. And uh so we hit it off.

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Because you really need to come down and meet our

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>director on the lot and they're looking for a dialogue coach,

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>which is an acting coach on the set. For those

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.839
<v Speaker 1>that don't know what a dialogue coaches. I help young

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>people as well as the adult actors. They have them

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>on sets. It was they've been on for decades movies,

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 1>television set, especially when it's uh a youth oriented cast.

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 1>They need a dialogue coach. And there's a lot of

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>you green people. You people have never done it before.

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.160

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.920

<v Speaker 1>we talked about Lily. We've talked about you multiple different times,

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's come up that at twenty seven years old,

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you were the youngest ring master for Ringling Brothers. Like,

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>how did you? How? What is that story? You have

0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the craziest life. I was doing research on you and

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like Christmas Store youngest ring Master dialogue. I'd

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>like to jump in here because I remember, I remember

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>this story that you told me about how you got

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 1>the job, and I'd like to see if I'm right

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 1>that you told me this story. The story will remember

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 1>it exactly, it's gotten bigger. Let me see. Let me

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 1>see if I remember you were home exactly. You were

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a fighter pilot. You just landed a cripple F four.

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I do. I embellished like a hundred million times, but

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I he So, if memory serves it was you heard

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>about the audition for the Ringling Brothers, and the reason

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you thought you got it is you were in the

0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 1>final audition phase and you were on the microphone and

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>gunther Gable Williams actually walked on to the area and

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:12.199
<v Speaker 1>you referenced him and said, and of course gunther Gable Williams,

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.559
<v Speaker 1>and he saw that you had instantly recognized him, knew

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>who he was. You announced that he was there, incorporated

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.959
<v Speaker 1>him essentially into our audition, and that helped you get

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the job. Am I remembering that correctly? One entle was

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:36.719
<v Speaker 1>the invested animal trainer, he had all the tires, He

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.560
<v Speaker 1>was the guy at Ringing. We don't have enough time

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to cover every chapter in my life, but I am

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 1>the ultimate impresario, showman, entrepreneur you could ever meet. I

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 1>don't when somebody says I can't, That's the reason why

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I do. But yes, indeed, that auditions all of thom

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 1>in the United States, through seven finalists to the greatest

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.599
<v Speaker 1>showner from Chicago Auditions Center ring right to sing and

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>announced ladies and gentlemen to the VOLLI in the centering.

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 1>It was in Chicago, and he Gunther was there. He

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Wall had meandered in an incogito. And I acknowledged that

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>when I was an out the guns Gunther and lo

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.840
<v Speaker 1>and behold, I'm the national Press. I was the twenty

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.439
<v Speaker 1>seven in the history fifty history of the great shown Earth,

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.559
<v Speaker 1>and the youngest at the time. And after I did

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.319
<v Speaker 1>that to her, of course, I wrote a book autobiography.

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>It's a great book. I still have my signed copy.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>It's awesome. But the book is this The entrepreneur in

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.199
<v Speaker 1>me is I started looking something you guys don't know

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.679
<v Speaker 1>called the Yellow Pages, and I looked under publishers, and

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I started calling, and I said I was the youngest

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 1>ring master with the greatest showner. And this editor went,

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>tell me, I love the circus. I sold my whole book,

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>never written, the book on the idea and some photographs

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 1>of my energy, and here we are at the startup.

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm an active performer many many years television, film, uh commercials,

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 1>but that ringmaster credit is probably the most unique and

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>most responsible job I've ever had the show business. So

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>what was harder wrangling lions or wrangling us? Wrangling Morgan,

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>let's put it. Let me tell you a few things

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.120
<v Speaker 1>about your beginnings. Okay, I know you talked about in

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the past, but piece we'll talk about peace in a minute.

0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.440
<v Speaker 1>But here's the few things I remember about each of you.

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>How's that will have just come from Hartford, Connectic area.

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 1>No one could pronounce fordel number one. But I'm at

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Will who was sixteen, and they're a not a kid

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 1>that hired it for the other for the pilot. We

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 1>all know that story. Anyways, Will was green green I mean,

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and I've used this story many times in my class,

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.160
<v Speaker 1>over and over and over since then. By the way,

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Will thank you. He came to my garage one time

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and talk to my students. How about that is that's

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>such a will thing to do. You taught me how

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>to play Canasta? Well, oh, my Atlanta, whether the will,

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.400
<v Speaker 1>there's the ways, And I can't believe. I tell you,

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm shocked. I don't that. I don't. So Will is

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>on the set and he is being green this. I

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>tell this over and over because it happens to all

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>my actors who are starting out in my past. They

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>tend to use the words I mean, I mean, I mean,

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'll tell you something. I had my script

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 1>and I went out there and taping night. I go Will,

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and I circle in my script eight ten, twenty times,

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 1>because I really I did. I didn't think yes Will,

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean Well. I had to get in that habit

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 1>of what I means. But you mean everything you say

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>unless it's written in the script. You mean everything you say.

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>But the Green people tell you what I mean, I mean,

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean. It buys them times for this month that one.

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Not only that, but very quickly. Michael Jacobs at one

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you just wander in the air? You put on wordrobe?

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>We're what, we're your fake cafeteria for Christ's say, kids

0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 1>speak up. I would talk about Danielle so oh no,

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I've in the other episodes. How you told I just

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 1>got the part, etcetera. Um, we did have a girl

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 1>that they had cast and David Trainer and I we

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>talked about we did it the paper read on a

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 1>table read for everyone that does know you sit around

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the table every week just before you start to put

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 1>on the feet and going to the studio U sound

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>stage and set up set the blocking each set. But

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.399
<v Speaker 1>this girl had attitude and she wasn't really right for

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:14.959
<v Speaker 1>the part. But there was one line which she had

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 1>to be a flower child. As we know, Panga is

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.360
<v Speaker 1>one episode she was gonna be in, but she looked

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.720
<v Speaker 1>over it. When she left her left lins went. She

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:26.440
<v Speaker 1>put this piece items right that sticks out to me

0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and David capt She just wanted her to say peace. Well,

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.240
<v Speaker 1>David tell me we gotta get rid of that. So anyways,

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>that's how we uh we replaced her butt. Here's the story,

0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 1>daniel Her mother told me, we almost didn't go that

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>audition because just so you know, and you said an

0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 1>earlier episode, Danielle and Marl had two lines in the

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>show Small Little Park. Her they lived in thousand Notes.

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:55.920
<v Speaker 1>We just didn't want to drive down for two lines.

0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I looked at her, I said, any chance you get

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to be on a set. You learned your lesson, didn't you,

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 1>because I'll end up being eight years isn't amazing? She

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 1>won't go, right, Danielle, Yeah, I don't. I don't remember that,

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 1>but that I mean, I know that I had done

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>the audition for Topanga just either the day before or

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.359
<v Speaker 1>two days before, and we were living in Calabasas at

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:16.879
<v Speaker 1>the time, and I don't remember where the audition was,

0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:18.400
<v Speaker 1>but I know that we spent a lot of time

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.399
<v Speaker 1>in traffic to get there. So when I didn't get

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 1>the audition for Topanga and then the next day, they

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.160
<v Speaker 1>were like, can you come back out to audition again?

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 1>And this time it's for two lines? I think my

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 1>mom and I were like, oh my gosh again in

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the car, but we did it, thankfully. I heard that

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.359
<v Speaker 1>It was great when it was just if I didn't

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:34.720
<v Speaker 1>know some of that, it was great. It must have

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.880
<v Speaker 1>been Disney, right, it must have been Disney. It must

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.680
<v Speaker 1>have been the Disney lot is where you would have audition. Yeah,

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 1>they filmed just those listeners. No, they actually filmed scenes

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.159
<v Speaker 1>of Mary Poppins on the sound stage. The film on

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the sound stage. Because one of our writers, Jeffrey Sherman,

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.400
<v Speaker 1>we all love. His father was Robert Sherman, who wrote

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.479
<v Speaker 1>the songs the Very Poppins, and his father came one

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 1>day of the stet and I had my book all

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 1>signed for him because I was like an idol of

0:18:58.119 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the Sherman brothers. And he looked around. He goes, you

0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>know this sound stage film Poppins, and my eyes got

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.359
<v Speaker 1>so big. I had no idea. Yeah, yeah, it was that.

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 1>That's their big film stage. Stage two was their big

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.440
<v Speaker 1>film stage. All the big stuff they would do. The commissary.

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 1>We have a little commissary before we remodeled it. It

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of traditional So on the set there

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm as the dialogue coach was helping out and it

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.640
<v Speaker 1>was the first episode and Michael Jacobs, the producer, says,

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 1>get anti, my real name is Christopher Anti Chaire. It's

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 1>German like fredl all right, and uh, they couldn't pronounce it,

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 1>so David said, I said, just say Chris Kier. I

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.920
<v Speaker 1>made it up on the spot. It was the best

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 1>thing I did when I got to Hollywood that I

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.440
<v Speaker 1>said Chris kier As, I said, said Chris Kier. Michael

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Jacobs would say it. Then David said, they all remembered it.

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Isn't amazing. Became on the first episode of boy Me's

0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.280
<v Speaker 1>World on the set. You were named on the show.

0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 1>That's so great, I know, isn't that cool. It's also

0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 1>very similar to Chris Kringle, which I'd like to get into.

0:19:52.000 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 1>You have a hollow store and very interesting see behind

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:04.239
<v Speaker 1>you Halloween. Okay, so you guys so much you can

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.399
<v Speaker 1>talk about. I want to do a movie that's a

0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 1>war between a Halloween story and a Christmas story. That's

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:10.639
<v Speaker 1>actually a great, great idea. And they brought up a

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Christmas store. Here's the thing. I have a habit and

0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.480
<v Speaker 1>addiction like everything, and this is a good one because

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I collect handblown more ornaments from the Germany and Italy

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and around the world, pulling and I just got back

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 1>from a three week buying trip in Prague and Italy,

0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Germany and Austin, so over there, and I bring these

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:29.399
<v Speaker 1>treasures back to California. So what I did is as

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 1>as I'm growing, I get in twelve trees in my house.

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I had offset the habit. Well, I bought a building

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 1>in Burbank, California, and I had my acting school, and

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.359
<v Speaker 1>I had a not mine, but a gift shop. I

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.680
<v Speaker 1>read it out to the other side of the building. Well,

0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:43.159
<v Speaker 1>she left in the night, and I thought, what am

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.159
<v Speaker 1>I gonna do? I went to my storage unit. I

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:47.800
<v Speaker 1>put half of stuff in that store and it went

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 1>through the roof. So I was doing my acting classes

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 1>and running a store to pay the rent. And then

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 1>it grew from there, and it grew. But unfortunately, I

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 1>stupidly the biggest mistake in my life. I killed myself

0:20:56.400 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 1>all the time about it. I sold the building. Year.

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:04.919
<v Speaker 1>I have it for a location for the Christopher Chire's

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Corner. This year. It's ninety nine East Colorado in Pasadena.

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.119
<v Speaker 1>But here's the fascinating thing. Everybody's love this, and you

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 1>all love this. So one of your tech this comes

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:15.680
<v Speaker 1>up every year in my store. One of your crew

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.560
<v Speaker 1>years later, gave me this, and it's in the store

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:20.720
<v Speaker 1>every year, and I tell the story. It is the

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 1>episode where Will goes the mall to be Santa. This

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 1>is about that. One of your remember, gave me that

0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 1>they signed in the back Boy Meets World, And so

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I haven't in the store hanging every year somewhere in

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the store, and I tell the story. And it's not

0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:36.920
<v Speaker 1>for sale. It's not for sale. It's not for sale,

0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>but it's from So that's how I'm talking about. And

0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm open just till out. I opened it last week.

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Behind me its thousands of thousands of treasures and there's

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 1>tons more in the storage room. I did this with

0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 1>one friend in fifteen days, three weeks ago. This was empty.

0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 1>We did it and four heat that on a fourtement.

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:02.400
<v Speaker 1>We were so hot and here it was so hot.

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Arrival Christmas Shop right across the street. It's gonna be

0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, Chris, what are some of your favorite

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 1>onset memories? Okay, this is great. So when we started

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:24.879
<v Speaker 1>the show, Bill had come from tape. He did the stage.

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Bill Daniels to the stage and he came from tell

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the tape show, I mean not tape shows, film shows,

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:33.720
<v Speaker 1>singular camera shows, and these writers were putting him through

0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the worst by baking flowery language about his flowers, the

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:40.000
<v Speaker 1>arya bouga filia, and it was just so hard. I

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>couldn't remember. It's like mamalizing. He got grocery list in Greek.

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't do it. And I've always felt sorry for him,

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.000
<v Speaker 1>so pure enough. The first episode he dealt there blooming,

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 1>the grooming the flowers, and he goes up and for

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 1>those that don't know what goes up and for out

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:55.720
<v Speaker 1>his line. And I felt so vulnerable, and he felt vulnerable,

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and the audience is there and just like got real quiet.

0:22:58.000 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I walked over and just showing the line script and

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 1>we move done. Then after I'll never forget this. After

0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the show, he sat there on that set and he

0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 1>looked at me as I'll just never get used to

0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:09.400
<v Speaker 1>pour camera. I'm just used. And I felt so bad

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 1>for Bill. They lightened it up. They lighted all that

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:13.639
<v Speaker 1>dialogue out because it was just so heavy. Bill has

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 1>a great memory and he's a pro. It was just

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 1>that first episode when they laid on all of these adjectives.

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.159
<v Speaker 1>It was a list of you know, alliteration that come on.

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:22.879
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't even do it, you know, in the circus,

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't do it. So that was one of them. Remember,

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and I love Bill Daniels, and and is he will

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 1>he come? The thing that's incredible is that he can

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 1>coming from film. You do get more time with your

0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 1>dialogue and you can work on all the more. But

0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:42.120
<v Speaker 1>he was also coming from a medical show where gonna

0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 1>talk about dialogue that you're gonna have to re member.

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he was memorizing all these medical speech. But

0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not or or on the same sitcoms those I

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know what sitcoms, you have to stay the line

0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:55.119
<v Speaker 1>in order, and you sometimes most of the time you

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:57.720
<v Speaker 1>filmed in order. In film shows you don't. And Michel

0:23:57.800 --> 0:23:59.680
<v Speaker 1>always changed it on the set. In the middle of

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:01.680
<v Speaker 1>this year, he come in, now, we're not doing this scene.

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 1>We're not doing this. I'm telling you. For those that

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know, you talk this on episodes. You start with

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:09.520
<v Speaker 1>one script on Monday, and by the time you tape

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday, and every day it's a different colored page,

0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:15.480
<v Speaker 1>so you know the new pages that are on there.

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>So by we get to tape night and there we

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 1>are on tape their hand and pages these kids in

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:22.920
<v Speaker 1>in in the makeup. Oh, here's the new line line.

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Then we get on the set, you guys, literally in

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:27.720
<v Speaker 1>front of studio audience. They walk over, they run over,

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:30.160
<v Speaker 1>will say this, insteps say this is They're changing lines

0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:32.679
<v Speaker 1>in front of a studio audience. So that's the fascinating thing.

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.159
<v Speaker 1>But let's go talk about Morgan. Those are the want

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to know about Morgan. You all know the Morgan story.

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much you can bauld you guys.

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I heard you allude to it with David Trainer. But

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 1>let's go to a Morgan story. They hired this young

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>actress five and shoote as a But when I say cute,

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:53.679
<v Speaker 1>you guys watch their first the first season. She's durable, vocable.

0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's hot behind the Bronco League. She was

0:24:56.640 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 1>so cute. We're on this set and it takes me

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>five days to make sure she hits her marks. For

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 1>those listening, that means moved the right place for the camera,

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>so we put an XX on there, or I say

0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>put your hand. My real strip was put your hand

0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 1>on the couch, on the end of the couch. That

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:16.080
<v Speaker 1>always got her right where she belonged. Well, of course, invariably,

0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:19.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe third third episode. I mean, she

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 1>was belligerent to she didn't really want to be there,

0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 1>just so you know, and Mother's like, you know, agree

0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and okay, like bruk assaults mom almost like yes, yes, yes,

0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll do it for you, and she want

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to make her happy. And uh, Michael, tell somebody to

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>run over to me and say get her to do this.

0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:38.159
<v Speaker 1>I said, give me a minute here. Five days that

0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 1>took me just to get this dialogue set well, but

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:42.200
<v Speaker 1>we want to change me want this, I said, give

0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 1>me a minute, but the studio audience is there. So

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I got down on my knees and from the couch.

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>She's sitting on the couch, I said, Lily, they want

0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:51.399
<v Speaker 1>you to Before I said they want you to do this,

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:54.200
<v Speaker 1>she took her hand and she slapped my face in

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:59.120
<v Speaker 1>front of the studio auto. All that just came back

0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to me. Jeff's seron Surman still breaks it up. Every

0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 1>time I see him. He brings it up or talk

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to him. But I was like, that was the beginning

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:09.399
<v Speaker 1>of the end. I mean, definitely, even though she was

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:13.040
<v Speaker 1>great the shows, like the most child actor moment ever,

0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:16.840
<v Speaker 1>right like in front of an audience slapping somebody giving

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you a note. Ye, But I got her to do it.

0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>But the reason I left after the first season was

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I waited. It was July and the first season we're

0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 1>about to get ready to last week July, and I

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:27.880
<v Speaker 1>get a call from Lovely Arlene Grace and our producer,

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and Arlen said, unfortunately, and I know how television works,

0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:34.040
<v Speaker 1>we don't have the Baiolo coach in the budget. So

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:35.919
<v Speaker 1>I was the first to go how it works at

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys, there's raises give the second year, and those

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>stars get a lot more than I did. They raised

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the money and as they spread it around to the crew,

0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 1>so mine was the most money money they could use

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 1>at that time. It's expendable money. I'm saying. So that's

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>how he lost the job, and that's why I didn't

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 1>go back. But our dear David Trader got me on

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:55.159
<v Speaker 1>Grace under Fire with Dylan Pulse Trader Um maybe this

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:58.720
<v Speaker 1>time with Bett Betty White. And also he also got

0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:02.840
<v Speaker 1>me on that seventies show. I was the one who

0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 1>taught Um Simpson just Simpson to act. He called me

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 1>in told past and you gotta brings the Adams was

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the casting. You gotta ring Chris Kyer and to get

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 1>her to act, and we got already by bye. You

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:15.959
<v Speaker 1>know how I had a lot of people like Jim

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Abbott and episodes appointments for not acting. They bring on,

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:20.600
<v Speaker 1>but I had to teach them to act quickly. So

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I gave my little technique to get there. Somebody else.

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 1>You were an acting coach for Anton Yelchin. Really Anton

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:32.159
<v Speaker 1>yell Shin. I've got Ammon's night through the years, all

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:35.120
<v Speaker 1>these wonderful stars and Anton at twenty seven years old,

0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean Anton when here's the break story. He came

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 1>to me. He was eight years old, I believe, and

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:42.399
<v Speaker 1>for the first six months he looked down at his shoes.

0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:45.240
<v Speaker 1>He couldn't look up. He was so scared and shocked.

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>So I in my classes, I'll take on the underdog,

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 1>just to My classes are good for confidence building too,

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:51.920
<v Speaker 1>because I have odd come back to me over the years.

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>They have kids now and they tell me your classes

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:55.359
<v Speaker 1>taught me to be unique. It was okay to be

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:57.880
<v Speaker 1>myself because I would get in, but when anybody picked

0:27:57.920 --> 0:27:59.680
<v Speaker 1>on somebody else for being shy like that, I was

0:27:59.840 --> 0:28:01.520
<v Speaker 1>very shy, I believe, not at his age. Believe it

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 1>or not. When I had the struggled puppetry and show business,

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I was fine. But he got the lead in a

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>movie called Hearts in Atlantis, and he was chosen by

0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Hoping that role. I'm leaders. I mean, just so

0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you know. And Anton Yellston and many celebrities were taught

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:19.200
<v Speaker 1>in my garage in North Hollywood. It doesn't matter what

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the building you're in, That's where I taught. And Anton

0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 1>came about a year and a half later at the

0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:27.440
<v Speaker 1>film came out and he brought me the big poster

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 1>with his mother, Hearts Atlantis, and on the poster he wrote,

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 1>UH to Chris, thank you for let me see something

0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>other than my shoes. But a little Anton passed away

0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>around twenty seven years old. It was a sad story.

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:45.719
<v Speaker 1>But his car unfortunately one late night he was going

0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:49.280
<v Speaker 1>to his UH rock practice and I heard it on

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the news and I called. Everybody was just devastating. But

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Anton Yellaston was a wonder. But he went on to

0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>he played check off and in the such a he

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>had he had Star Trek at the time. He had

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Star Trek and terminated in theaters at the same time.

0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:05.800
<v Speaker 1>It was like you invited me to the I want

0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to see his his UH his site over Hollywood Forever

0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and Hollywood. I live in Hollywood and there's just I

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 1>go once the while to see him there. They have

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 1>this big giant bronze statue of him right over his market,

0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 1>so it was beautiful. They invited me to the funeral

0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 1>and also to that which was a touching story. So yes,

0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Anton was one of my one of my prize kids

0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that I really enjoyed working. Now, if they're if there

0:29:37.160 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 1>are people who are listening who are thinking about getting

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 1>their kids into the entertainment industry, what is your best

0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 1>advice for parents and what's your best advice for the kids. Well,

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 1>the industry has changed a lot since the nineties when

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 1>we were working, and when you were working, we would

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 1>have to go like Danielle and all of you would

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:57.400
<v Speaker 1>go to an audition trak an hour and a half

0:29:57.440 --> 0:30:00.440
<v Speaker 1>in traffic. Well, since COVID, it's all gone to zooming

0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 1>as we're doing now, so the kids don't get the

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 1>one on one now. Just in the last year, I

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 1>started doing that on UH in person as well as online.

0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I had learned the whole animal doing zooming teaching online,

0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>but I like to teach in person Proba his reasons

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:15.080
<v Speaker 1>my energy and the kids because there's a different animal

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>when you're with the other person. So acting classes are

0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the first start, and then you have to fund an

0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:23.040
<v Speaker 1>agent or a manager. But you have to first ask

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 1>does your child really want to do this? Because I

0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 1>can't tell you how many times during the decades I've

0:30:27.680 --> 0:30:29.360
<v Speaker 1>told the parents they don't really want to be Oh, yes,

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't know. They don't try football, try wrestling, tribe art,

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:36.200
<v Speaker 1>whatever is sewing. But they don't they say, do we

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:38.360
<v Speaker 1>all know? They didn't want to be there, just like

0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 1>they didn't want to hear at that age they wanted

0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:43.280
<v Speaker 1>it was the parents wanted them to do it. So

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I have a lot of zooming classes, still in person classes,

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 1>but zooming from all of the country now a lot

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 1>of kids. But that's the first start, is to get

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.560
<v Speaker 1>them trained and though exactly what to do because the

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 1>agents want these kids ready to go on auditions. Yeah,

0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 1>but the the the idea of being in a show

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that is mortalized. You guys, when you see yourselves young

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and your people identify you with those roles they grew

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:08.880
<v Speaker 1>up with, you get my store I mentioned meets world.

0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:10.480
<v Speaker 1>You know who works from me here Kathy g and

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Ggoria right here next time. So the episode will goes

0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to the mall with with that Kathy Ireland to be

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the model or just model falt statue was and he

0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:26.920
<v Speaker 1>wants to be a model or will they have and

0:31:26.960 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 1>they tried to sign up for modey. Well you hear

0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:31.560

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the script supervisor for Girl Meats World every episode. I

0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:27.480
<v Speaker 1>mean she was Kathew. We love Kathy, we love her.

0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I love her. That's why I can't touch all these years.

0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 1>But she lives right here near my house and past

0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:34.040
<v Speaker 1>store in Pasadena. But last year we're working in the store,

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 1>fans for that. Rusty just finds Christmas stores all across

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the world and wanders in and sometimes we're safe for

0:32:56.840 --> 0:32:59.960
<v Speaker 1>hours or days. They have to call people to remove him.

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Big Christmas store guy, Rusty. A lot of people don't

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 1>know that. Now, Chris, you are obviously very busy. So

0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 1>how when was the last time you watched Boy Meets

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:11.560
<v Speaker 1>World like you have? Have you ever sat down and

0:33:11.680 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>just like rewatched it? Picked up I'm still CD kind

0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of person. I picked up all the DVDs of the

0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 1>entire first season. I haven't watched it. I've watched it

0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:22.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe four years ago, a few of the first that

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:24.880
<v Speaker 1>it was such a great time in my life. But

0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:27.720
<v Speaker 1>you are like you. I'm a busy person, and I

0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 1>mean I think the Boy Meets World. It was my

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:33.720
<v Speaker 1>college for television television. When paper said we go to

0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:35.959
<v Speaker 1>the table on Monday. I don't know what's the table? Man?

0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I was learning was an acting coach. I wasn't on

0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the set, so I learned. I was paid to learn

0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 1>on the set of how Sitcom's running. For those that

0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 1>know it, it really runs almost like a place the

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 1>closest nine to five job you'll get in show business,

0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you know. And it was very interesting, so as I

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:52.640
<v Speaker 1>as I did Boy Meets when I watched it, and

0:33:52.760 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 1>those that don't know, I was an actor and I

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 1>am an actor. I have a performer. And after that

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I got so much confidence through that show that myself

0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I was Bookie right up that an episode of Quantum

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:04.600

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 1>known as the youngest and look alike I am. They

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:15.200
<v Speaker 1>call a Dick Van Dyck alike. So one of my

<v Speaker 1>and we're sitting here and you looked like Dick Vanda.

0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:10.759
<v Speaker 1>It was just it was chilled for all of a

0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:14.319
<v Speaker 1>sudden set. So Saving Mr Banks was the other one. Yeah,

0:37:14.480 --> 0:37:17.799
<v Speaker 1>you do. You have the most interesting careers ever. As

0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:21.279
<v Speaker 1>you're sitting there surrounded by Christmas, it's so great, you know. Yeah,

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I just I'll do anything, you know what I started

0:37:23.480 --> 0:37:26.200
<v Speaker 1>to as a kid. I was shy, so I started

0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:28.879
<v Speaker 1>worked with puppets and I became a puppeteer At twelve

0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:31.480
<v Speaker 1>years old. I put an ad in the paper and

0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:33.600
<v Speaker 1>for seventy five dollars you could pick me up at

0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:35.840
<v Speaker 1>your station wagon and I would entertain her birthday parties,

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:39.239
<v Speaker 1>father daughter, Baker, and I booked myself. I may, I

0:37:39.360 --> 0:37:41.319
<v Speaker 1>booked all the time. What kid could do that? Now

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't be picked up by strangers in a car

0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 1>for the party. But that was my entrepreneurial state back then.

0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:49.520
<v Speaker 1>And then there's so many things that in my mind.

0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:51.840
<v Speaker 1>When I get an idea, I'm a doer, so it

0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:54.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter what it is. And I hate when people say, oh,

0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that will never work. I can't stand there so un

0:37:56.680 --> 0:37:58.880
<v Speaker 1>last the last ten years, I've been directing musicals all

0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 1>over the world, all over the country, and also starring

0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 1>as Captain Hook and Peter Pan's my my go to role,

0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and the show that I directed seven times now, So

0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I think I've been doing my things, still teaching. I

0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:13.880
<v Speaker 1>just think that anybody out there, when you think of

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:16.200
<v Speaker 1>that idea, that little morsel, the germ of an idea,

0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 1>do it. I had this great idea for a TV

0:38:20.239 --> 0:38:22.959
<v Speaker 1>pilot called Master Motive, and this is the way before

0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:25.160
<v Speaker 1>its computers just come out. But this little boy comes

0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:27.319
<v Speaker 1>in and he has a new video game. He pops

0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:29.360
<v Speaker 1>it in and he spills his jews on the Internet

0:38:29.400 --> 0:38:32.480
<v Speaker 1>on the computer pad, and it sucks him into the

0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:34.719
<v Speaker 1>world of Master Motive. And I played Master Modem very

0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Willy Wonka. Well, I did this because I had just

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.160
<v Speaker 1>done a serious of leading a series called Boint Barnyard Place,

0:38:39.200 --> 0:38:40.759
<v Speaker 1>and I knew the crew and I knewhere was filmed it.

0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 1>So I spent a hundred thousand dollars with somebody else

0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:46.919
<v Speaker 1>going in and we filmed this, this this wonderful pilot. Well,

0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I've taken to NAPY convention to try to get booked

0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:51.440
<v Speaker 1>and it was really good. David Trayner taught me well

0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:53.359
<v Speaker 1>in direction and shots and everything, and we got Lynn

0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:55.719
<v Speaker 1>McCracken to come in and Captain Jim Gloria. They were

0:38:55.800 --> 0:39:00.239
<v Speaker 1>doing our personal did the shots so and those I

0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:04.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Lind was a stage manager on. Yeah. So anyways,

0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:06.040
<v Speaker 1>boy me's role, I can't tell you who it was,

0:39:06.120 --> 0:39:08.719
<v Speaker 1>but there was a celebrity's father who had taken the

0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:12.400
<v Speaker 1>idea decided to do a film on it still the

0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:14.799
<v Speaker 1>idea and the kid that I cast in the lead.

0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:18.279
<v Speaker 1>I founded them all. They had auditions. They literally cast

0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the same board. Oh come on hello. I had a lawyer.

0:39:21.719 --> 0:39:23.920
<v Speaker 1>We went into it. My partner she was very wealthy

0:39:23.960 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and she did not want to go through the litigation.

0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:28.759
<v Speaker 1>So we had to fold because we didn't have the

0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:30.279
<v Speaker 1>money that they had. She had a lot, but I

0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:33.000
<v Speaker 1>said no, so we folded. So that's the story. But

0:39:33.239 --> 0:39:35.360
<v Speaker 1>more of the stories the film was never released. But

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:38.000
<v Speaker 1>my unfortunately master modem, which was I was the keeper

0:39:38.040 --> 0:39:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of the keys. Every week we would log onto a

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:41.880
<v Speaker 1>new episode. He would travel to a new place, we

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:44.640
<v Speaker 1>take a key, put it in, we traveled someplace else

0:39:44.880 --> 0:39:46.399
<v Speaker 1>it was and I was really wonk. It was really

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:49.000
<v Speaker 1>was this madman trying to get the kid home. This

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 1>whole thing was home. So that's what I've been doing.

0:39:51.880 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I just I just do I do. I'm gonna do it.

0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:58.200
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing. Where can people find you? Because like you said,

0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I know you like to do acting. This is in person.

0:40:00.840 --> 0:40:02.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a totally different thing when you're able to be

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:05.520
<v Speaker 1>in person. But I'm sure there are people all across

0:40:05.600 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the country and across the world who would love to

0:40:08.120 --> 0:40:11.080
<v Speaker 1>take an acting class with you. Where can people find you,

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:13.680
<v Speaker 1>reach out to you, try to get your help any

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:17.319
<v Speaker 1>of that stuff. Well, Danielle, just recently, my two months ago,

0:40:17.360 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I had a girl from New York in my zoom

0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 1>class and she hadn't heard me on another podcast and

0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really in tune to the internet and all

0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:25.680
<v Speaker 1>of the podcasting it, but she had heard about my

0:40:25.760 --> 0:40:28.480
<v Speaker 1>classes on a podcast. So what I do is I

0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:31.520
<v Speaker 1>not only teach confidence, but teach on camera commercial technique

0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:35.640
<v Speaker 1>as well as UH technique for television and film. And

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:38.719
<v Speaker 1>what it is is my school is very exclusive and

0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:40.439
<v Speaker 1>I teach all the technique I've learned through the years.

0:40:40.719 --> 0:40:42.799
<v Speaker 1>And to get in touch with me, it's www Chris

0:40:42.920 --> 0:40:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Kire dot com, k R I s K y e

0:40:45.200 --> 0:40:47.560
<v Speaker 1>R Chris Kire dot com. And then they could just

0:40:47.640 --> 0:40:49.200
<v Speaker 1>get from there and email me and let me know

0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:51.759
<v Speaker 1>that they're interested in classes. And again, I have kids

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 1>from all over the country. My class this afternoon and

0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:57.440
<v Speaker 1>it will be ten kids from around the United States.

0:40:57.600 --> 0:41:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Not interesting? Are we just start there? So to get

0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:02.360
<v Speaker 1>in touch with me for the class, But that's the

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:04.480
<v Speaker 1>best way to do, go to the website and where

0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:08.120
<v Speaker 1>is your Christmas store right now? Okay, So it's pop up,

0:41:08.120 --> 0:41:10.800
<v Speaker 1>as I said, different year every year, and uh different

0:41:10.800 --> 0:41:12.680
<v Speaker 1>places every year. And this is on the corner of

0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Altadena in Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, East Pasadena, and it's

0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:19.919
<v Speaker 1>uh at empty space. And it's been harder and harder

0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:22.520
<v Speaker 1>than the first month of August. First of August, I

0:41:22.760 --> 0:41:26.800
<v Speaker 1>first today of August, I traveled city and burbank in

0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:30.440
<v Speaker 1>the heat, walking behind Ally's trying to get numbers. Brochers

0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:32.600
<v Speaker 1>won't call me back. I have to be pushy to

0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 1>get to a landlord to give me that four month lease.

0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:38.080
<v Speaker 1>That's so this worked out, preeb. Still, I had no

0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 1>place this year, and all these things I just bought

0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:41.920
<v Speaker 1>back from Europe. I was in trouble and my landlord

0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:43.520
<v Speaker 1>from last year put me in touch with this and

0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:47.440
<v Speaker 1>here we are. So the store is East Colorado in Pasadena,

0:41:47.520 --> 0:41:50.719
<v Speaker 1>and I don't ship and I'm not online. People. You

0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:53.279
<v Speaker 1>have to get the treasures in person. I then wiped

0:41:53.280 --> 0:41:55.800
<v Speaker 1>out all this stuff to see the people. Yes, Jensen,

0:41:55.920 --> 0:41:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Jensen and I are gonna bring our kids and we're

0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:00.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna we're gonna come in and we're gonna buy stuff.

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:01.919
<v Speaker 1>Will writer, if you guys want to make a little

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:05.640
<v Speaker 1>road trip out because I think this will be my

0:42:05.760 --> 0:42:08.440
<v Speaker 1>last year because it's been so difficult. I've been doing

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:10.680
<v Speaker 1>this since two thousand and eight, and because it was

0:42:10.719 --> 0:42:13.240
<v Speaker 1>stressed out, I can't find the four months least anymore.

0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:15.480
<v Speaker 1>So I have to come in definitely my last year.

0:42:15.800 --> 0:42:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Can you can I ask you? Can? I ask a

0:42:17.400 --> 0:42:23.000
<v Speaker 1>personal question? Are you wearing Christmas pants? Because that would

0:42:23.400 --> 0:42:26.319
<v Speaker 1>be awesome if you were. No. I got my top

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:29.040
<v Speaker 1>hat which I wear the store every day. We're gonna

0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:30.719
<v Speaker 1>put on where's your top hat? People say to me,

0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Pop had the greatest show on Earth? All these rules

0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:35.920
<v Speaker 1>that I wear a top hat, but I have a

0:42:36.480 --> 0:42:39.920
<v Speaker 1>shirt on, and I seldom in the store. I have shirts.

0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Of course, to the store when people want the shirts

0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 1>that I'm wearing, they bought those kind of shirts. I

0:42:43.239 --> 0:42:47.320
<v Speaker 1>have those two. My last question for you, and I

0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:49.880
<v Speaker 1>think you're the perfect person to answer this. What is

0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the secret to being happy? Okay? This is what I

0:42:54.560 --> 0:42:56.279
<v Speaker 1>tell when I lecture is my class and everything. This

0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.799
<v Speaker 1>is me carefully everybody. This is the most insightful thing

0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:01.520
<v Speaker 1>you can know. And I know this from experience. I'll

0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:06.719
<v Speaker 1>be thirty nine in May that I just um, I

0:43:06.840 --> 0:43:09.520
<v Speaker 1>just know that this is important. No, this is serious.

0:43:14.200 --> 0:43:15.960
<v Speaker 1>People say you're thirty nine on nice and not yet,

0:43:16.000 --> 0:43:19.719
<v Speaker 1>not till May. Every year my friends on Facebook they say, oh,

0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:21.239
<v Speaker 1>you're thirty nine, and I said, don't push on. Not

0:43:21.280 --> 0:43:24.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine yet. So the thing is, this is what

0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I say, and this is what makes one happy. And

0:43:26.640 --> 0:43:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I have the I have the downs as much as

0:43:28.840 --> 0:43:32.279
<v Speaker 1>the adversity, as much as everybody out there. But my

0:43:32.320 --> 0:43:34.640
<v Speaker 1>best friend passed away about seven years ago with a

0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:37.359
<v Speaker 1>lot of regrets. He didn't he was the most masterful writer.

0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:40.000
<v Speaker 1>He wrote the music to many things, my Master Modem show.

0:43:40.520 --> 0:43:42.799
<v Speaker 1>And he sat there on his bed and he had

0:43:42.840 --> 0:43:45.400
<v Speaker 1>all these regrets. And I looked at him. I thought, Michael,

0:43:45.400 --> 0:43:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be the remaster with the great shown had

0:43:47.080 --> 0:43:48.520
<v Speaker 1>you not been my mentor and taught me in the

0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:51.239
<v Speaker 1>first class I did at eighteen years old, my first show.

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:55.279
<v Speaker 1>But the inside is this, You go for every darn

0:43:55.400 --> 0:43:58.160
<v Speaker 1>dream you have, every one of them. They're not gonna

0:43:58.200 --> 0:43:59.920
<v Speaker 1>all come true. Not all of them will come to

0:44:00.120 --> 0:44:02.719
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee you they won't. But having gone for them

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:05.640
<v Speaker 1>is what's gonna leave you the most fulfilled person in

0:44:05.680 --> 0:44:09.279
<v Speaker 1>the world. Because I have had riches beyond, because I

0:44:09.400 --> 0:44:12.719
<v Speaker 1>have pursued everything, I have no regrets. If I want

0:44:12.760 --> 0:44:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the full quarter ice cream, I eat it. I'm just

0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:17.719
<v Speaker 1>saying you literally and things you're doing life. If you're

0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:20.279
<v Speaker 1>going for something, there's a satisfaction. But having gone for

0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:22.680
<v Speaker 1>master motive, even though I lost tons of money and fly,

0:44:23.560 --> 0:44:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm so satisfied that I did it. So all I

0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:27.680
<v Speaker 1>can say is, when the opportunity comes, or you come

0:44:27.760 --> 0:44:30.600
<v Speaker 1>up with an idea, do it. Just remember this. A

0:44:30.719 --> 0:44:32.760
<v Speaker 1>dream is just a dream until you make it a reality.

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:37.200
<v Speaker 1>That's right. That's what keeps me going and very And

0:44:37.280 --> 0:44:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I've never tried a cup of coffee. Can you imagine

0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:42.160
<v Speaker 1>me on coffee. I've never tried to cigarette in my life,

0:44:42.280 --> 0:44:44.799
<v Speaker 1>no drugs. This is natural energy, and my energy has

0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:46.920
<v Speaker 1>got me everything I need. If you do your passion

0:44:47.000 --> 0:44:49.759
<v Speaker 1>and go for your passion with sincere energy, you will

0:44:49.800 --> 0:44:52.880
<v Speaker 1>be the happiest person on this planet. That's amazing. Unfortunately,

0:44:52.920 --> 0:44:57.080
<v Speaker 1>my passion was caffeine and cigarettes. We all followed the dream,

0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:01.479
<v Speaker 1>all have our addictions. Go Awa, I have a friend Bruce,

0:45:01.520 --> 0:45:04.080
<v Speaker 1>She says, m and the armament is good. One man boy,

0:45:04.560 --> 0:45:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that person. He drinks a few drink every night. And

0:45:07.840 --> 0:45:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I said, each one of these Ornams the martini for me,

0:45:10.200 --> 0:45:16.279
<v Speaker 1>and I said, my martinis, that's the secret to being happy.

0:45:17.400 --> 0:45:21.719
<v Speaker 1>I am so thrilled that you are exactly the way

0:45:21.760 --> 0:45:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I remember you. Let one last question, what do you

0:45:26.440 --> 0:45:29.160
<v Speaker 1>remember about me? I'm really curious what you remember about

0:45:29.200 --> 0:45:34.759
<v Speaker 1>me back then. I remember you being energetic, poised, um

0:45:35.160 --> 0:45:39.160
<v Speaker 1>and um, very I mean confident. I remember you being

0:45:39.200 --> 0:45:43.799
<v Speaker 1>confident and yeah, exactly. Were so encouraging and you were

0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 1>such a support network on a set that you know,

0:45:46.360 --> 0:45:49.120
<v Speaker 1>at times could be very destabilizing. They were. There was yelling,

0:45:49.200 --> 0:45:51.440
<v Speaker 1>there was there was a sense that you know, we

0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:55.200
<v Speaker 1>were going to disappoint adults that like there was an

0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:58.200
<v Speaker 1>energy and you were, I mean, along with David Trainer,

0:45:58.239 --> 0:46:01.239
<v Speaker 1>you were a source of uh strength and confidence and

0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:03.839
<v Speaker 1>and and it was honest, it was earnest. It wasn't

0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:06.720
<v Speaker 1>It didn't feel fake. It felt like you genuinely cared

0:46:06.760 --> 0:46:09.560
<v Speaker 1>for us and we needed that. I needed that. Yeah, yeah,

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I remember you know what I remember. I remember that

0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I was trapped kind of in the in between of

0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:22.160
<v Speaker 1>no no of my age as a person, where I

0:46:22.360 --> 0:46:24.279
<v Speaker 1>was I was too old to really hang out with

0:46:24.360 --> 0:46:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Danielle and Rider right at the beginning, and I was

0:46:26.600 --> 0:46:29.239
<v Speaker 1>too young to hang out with Rusty and Betsy. And

0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:32.400
<v Speaker 1>you became my friend. You you like you saw that

0:46:32.600 --> 0:46:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and you actually you befriended me and I would hang

0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:37.120
<v Speaker 1>out at your house and you taught me Canasta and

0:46:37.200 --> 0:46:39.759
<v Speaker 1>we would play cards, and you would help me on

0:46:39.920 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 1>different auditions and stuff. You like, you became my friend.

0:46:42.800 --> 0:46:44.360
<v Speaker 1>That's what I remember the most is you saw a

0:46:44.480 --> 0:46:47.279
<v Speaker 1>kid that was kind of in limbo a little bit,

0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and you were like, he just needs a friend, and

0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you took on that role. That's what I remember the most.

0:46:51.239 --> 0:46:52.719
<v Speaker 1>So you held me at the acting, but more you

0:46:52.800 --> 0:46:55.120
<v Speaker 1>helped me as a person. And when you tell me this,

0:46:55.280 --> 0:46:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I love you. Guys. Tell me this especialists well, because

0:46:57.760 --> 0:47:00.440
<v Speaker 1>as a child I was incredibly neglected. My my mother

0:47:00.520 --> 0:47:02.520
<v Speaker 1>had three kids. I was she was twenty one the

0:47:02.600 --> 0:47:04.960
<v Speaker 1>time she had me. So I was shoved aside and

0:47:05.000 --> 0:47:07.239
<v Speaker 1>I went to my world, my fantasy world. So now

0:47:08.360 --> 0:47:10.280
<v Speaker 1>that's why I took the lemons and turn the lemonade.

0:47:10.760 --> 0:47:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Why my kids book, thousands of kids a book? Why

0:47:13.800 --> 0:47:17.040
<v Speaker 1>and still imagination? I get just short notes. Some people

0:47:17.200 --> 0:47:19.000
<v Speaker 1>like this will say you were there for me as

0:47:19.040 --> 0:47:21.320

0:47:21.400 --> 0:47:24.239
<v Speaker 1>feel good. Yeah, you did feel good. And there's a

0:47:24.280 --> 0:47:26.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of conflict with teenagers in my class. You know,

0:47:26.960 --> 0:47:28.680
<v Speaker 1>they're going through a lot at the time, and I

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:31.439
<v Speaker 1>just it's it's it's grounding young people, and I love
