The pilot episode, I mean 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.400 two hours went by. I was like, I'm so still watching. 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:14.960 Nine year old still hasn't watched the whole series.

And 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.720 you fell in love with the caw that ran the 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.560 ski slopes there and that was Christie Swanson. Of course 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.320 I just watched that this year. Those are so much 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.680 fun to make, aren't they They are.

There's no question. 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.080 It takes a little getting used to, for sure.

Oh so 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.960 you could arrest us right now? I could you have 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:58.080 to do something illegal? But are you superman? Well, I've 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.960 got some interesting moments where that's come up um, which 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.479 was kind of funny, you know, UM from some firefighters 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:05.960 on one thing. It wasn't even a call that I 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.640 was on. I'm I'm a sheriff's deputy in Virginia, UH 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.560 in Frederick County, Virginia, and I'm a reserve police officer 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.520 in Pocatello, Idaho. But the stuff that I've done where 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.520 people have recognized me was stuff that I've done as 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.599 a citizen, where like things have gone wrong on the 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.200 road and I sort of stepped in and and had 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.120 to do stuff. And then with this one incident on 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.880 the one on one freeway where a guy was crashing 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.680 into the center divider, stopped and everybody was just kind 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.760 of driving around him. He was having a seizure. Turned 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.360 out I I stopped and gut out of the car, 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.200 had like turn off his car and put it in 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.080 park and he was having a seizure. Had to keep 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.080 him back. And UM there was an E R nurse 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.120 that stopped and traffic going both ways, but people weren't 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.840 stopping for him. So we're in the middle lanes and 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.960 I'm jumping the divider because he finally starts coming to 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.479 then he wants to get combative. Who wants to drive 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.880 his car away, and then I had to take his keys, 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.919 and then we ended up like wrestling on the ground 0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:00.800 and then he cocked up and uh and on the 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.680 one oh one, on the one oh one, and then 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.279 the Papa Razzi show up. No, no, not a word. Lucky. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.919 I did my job. But then the firefighters were walking 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:15.360 back and the fire cabinetors, hey, Superman. I was like, no, man, 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.480 you guys are Superman. It was great. Well, what's weird 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.080 is I was thinking about this. I think when I 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:28.400 picture Scott Peterson, I'm picturing you. It's great. I was 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.960 thinking about that because I'm like, I don't know, you know, 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.440 like I haven't seen Scott Peterson that many times, but 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.000 I've seen that movie but me times so, especially when 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.040 you dyed the hair and you're like making the run 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.240 for the border. I think, in my mind, I think 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:47.280 I picture you, but I think it's him. It's like, 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.920 that's weird. I say that like if I ever meet 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.920 a woman and she's like, I love you, I Scott Peterson, 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.919 I know, do not date that woman. Flags red flags, 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.360 red flags everywhere. Ye Like, that was amazing. You really 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.320 became him. That was like crazy, you know what's weird 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.000 is that I try to turn that down. I did 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.760 turn it down like four or five times, and Jenny, 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.240 you know this game, and like you turn it down 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.600 four times, they come back higher and higher, and the 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.920 more they want you, the more they want you. Finally, 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.760 my dad, who's a director, I was talking to him 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.800 and I said, they keep offering me this perfect husband 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.520 thing and they play Scott Peterson and he's like yeah, 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.960 and I keep saying no, and he goes, well, could 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.120 you be good in it? Yeah? And I said, yeah, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.520 I think I would be really good. You are super creepy. Yes? 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.680 Are you an actor? I was like, yes, sir. He's like, 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.000 didn't go to work? Shut up? Yeah? Why not? Because 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.000 Rob Low played that other one that I think I 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:40.320 picture Rob Low. That was crazy too. Those were I've 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.320 watched this over and over there all all right, Well, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:44.960 I grew up with Rob. I grew up with Rob 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.040 since we were little kids too, so who knew we'd 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:52.240 both be serial killers? But he's never been a superhero 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.960 we're supposed to be talking about. But I could go 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.000 for those on all the other things. I'll talk about 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.880 anything that's a good thing about you. You're so like 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.920 down to earth and just personally I love that about you. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.920 Thank you well. I don't understand how it could be 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.360 any different. I don't understand if only you were handsome, 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.400 If only you were handsome, you'd have it all work 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:20.600 on that. There's something about that, would you? Wait? So 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:26.720 let's talk about so you popped onto the scene in 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:31.160 season three, as I like to call it Greek? Was 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:35.680 that season three? Yes? Wow? Three? And you were only 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.640 on for four episodes? Was it? I think? So we've 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:44.840 seen three, We've rewatched three of them, watching the one. No, 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.360 not the video store one. Yet I still have a 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.000 problem with that one. I have a bone to pick 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:54.480 with it. We want to hear everything. Oh my gosh, okay, 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.559 so tell us what was it like when you when 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.200 you came on the show where you did you know 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.560 about before you started it? Or did you what happened? 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.120 How did you get the part? You know? For me? 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.800 Straight up? I mean I I was a fan of 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.640 the show. It was like the biggest show in the 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.880 world at the time. Um, I had grown up, you know, 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.559 around the film industry, so I knew so many kids. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:20.000 There goes my dad, my dad, he's ignoring So I 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.360 grew up in the film industry around you know, Chris Penn, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.920 Sean Penn, Roblo, Charlie Sheen. These are all kids that 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.120 I grew up with um and my dad's a director, 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.280 So I was you know, the idea of like a 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.960 show being too big for me was not a thing 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:34.440 because I was I knew it was a show, but 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.840 it was like sort of my first It was my 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.360 third guest starring role. It was so big and wonderful, 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.520 and I was super excited um to do it. But 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.600 my stuff for the first I think the first three 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:49.160 episodes was it we're in quote Paris. Yeah. First of all, 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:55.080 I thought we were all excited, They're like, no Universal 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:59.439 back lot. I was like, what streets in Universal? Oh 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:03.199 the appointment. But it looked real good. It looked fantastic. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.120 It looked fantastic. I remember Shannon hated having to do 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.240 the fake French accent. She did not like that at all. 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.840 And everybody still to this day, I kid you, not 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.240 anybody who's a nine or two long fan calls me. 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:22.200 I was, That's that's true. But you know, it was 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.319 wonderful and I learned a lot of things on that show, 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.880 especially when I came in to like do the episode 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.760 where I was finally around all the rest of you 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:33.400 guys that's coming to watch, and I think about three weeks. 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.400 Should I talk about that now or now? Of course? Yes. Well, 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:37.640 the thing I want to say about it is I 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.440 learned one of the most important lessons I've ever learned 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.880 in this business. And I learned it from Luke. So 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.040 I walked in and I hadn't worked with anybody else 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.520 except for Shannon, so everybody else was I hadn't been there, that, 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.160 the peach pit, all that. I hadn't seen those things. 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:51.760 I was like, oh my god, here it is. Here's 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.719 the stuff. And Luke comes in and I see him. 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.240 He saw me, and he comes over. He just be 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.680 alignes to me and he comes over and he goes, hey, Dean, 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.800 I just want to say thank you so much for 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:01.760 being on the show. I love what you're doing. It's 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.040 so great. It's making a show better. I just really 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.800 appreciate you being here. And I was like, wow, that's 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.040 that's I feel very welcome. That's a very nice thing. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.600 So I've done that on every show that I've ever had. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.240 Whenever there's a guest star, I go to them. I 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.640 thank them for being there and working with us and 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.280 doing that and I and I realized how important that 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.000 is for someone coming on, especially a new guest actor 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.920 who might be nervous or excited or whatever happens to be. 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:32.319 So I've done that every single time, and God bless me. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.280 I love that. I love that you've carried that into 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.640 your life. Now, who was mean to you? Just kidding this? 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.000 Nobody was mean to me. Yeah, you go along with everyone. Yeah, 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:45.440 I got along with them. I tend to do that. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.400 I don't really have I mean, I'm not there. I 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.319 don't I don't look to create waves. I mean, I'll 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.240 give my opinion. We know that's true on certain things, 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.280 whether it's politics or whatever happens to be. But I 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.560 also can disagree with somebody and still have a great 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.560 time with them. And that's sort of sadly missing, I 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.760 think in in our society a little bit. Right now, 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:10.679 I think I just said a little just so, how 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.560 was your overall experience? Do you remember meeting Jenny? Of 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:18.880 course I do, and hello crush so um, Yes, I 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.280 remember meeting her very much. So I remember meeting everybody. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.640 It was wonderful and I just tried to, you know, 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.320 because I had grown up on sets. I just wanted 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.679 to get out of everybody's way, let everybody do their thing, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.040 and I would sit there. But what they did to 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.880 me in that fourth episode, talk about it, I don't 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.160 have any idea what I do. I do. So I 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.480 was a guy who's supposed to me from Wisconsin, who 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.640 was in college, and he runs and he thinks she's 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.400 a French girl. Channon's a French girl, and and uh 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.760 so he meets her and falls in love with his 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.320 French girl kind of the thing. And so that's all 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.280 wonderful and great, and we're doing all that stuff, and 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.160 then they like sort of want to have a finish 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.320 to it because she left, you know, and there was 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:57.840 nothing there, like, hey, we want to sort of wrap 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.280 this up. So well, they were gonna bring me in, 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.160 and the idea was I was my character was supposed 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.320 to come in run into her. He's at U C 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.120 l A. And he runs into her and realizes she 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.360 lies and lie, had lied about everything, and he was 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.760 supposed to break up with her, and that's how it 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:18.000 was supposed to go. I remember, bless her. She goes, 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.120 she says she she didn't like that, and she goes, 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.040 I can't have I guess Dart can't come in and 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.440 break up with me, And so it had to be 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:29.760 me who got dumped by her, all right. I still 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.360 tease her about that today. UM so if they instead 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.160 of me coming back having seeing her and figuring out 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:37.880 it was all line and then breaking up with her, 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.360 which was I was very comfortable with. Suddenly I get 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.000 this script and I was like, what I remember? My 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.760 eyes just popping open. My character decides he's gonna try 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.400 to make a run at it with her, forgives her 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.400 for a line, goes over to her house with her 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:56.400 parents and just starts with dad sitting there playing and singing. 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.760 I don't sing, and he starts singing Great Balls of Fire, 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.320 and she read that I'm dating my dad, and so 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.040 she dumps me. I read that I went as white 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:10.640 as a ghost. That is harsh because I literally cannot sing, 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.959 and I was just like, what are they doing to me? 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.120 And uh, I wasn't in a position to go, hey, listen, no, 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.480 we're gonna have to fix this. Let's work this around here, 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.000 let's change things up. They weren't. That wasn't happening. See 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.200 I want to know from both of you. Do you 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.320 think the story would have been better the original way? 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.840 I do? I do you mean if Rick broke up 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.840 with Brenda? Yeah, Matt would have been kind of a 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.840 neat little come up and a little thing. Yeah you play. 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.560 I think that would have been better. That's me, But 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.880 that's also because I didn't want to sing. So we 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.240 definitely need to do a poll on that. We need 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.520 to you do you think that if if Dylan were 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:56.720 in the picture, that Reek would have stuck around with 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.520 Brenda if he was in the picture. As far as 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.080 like a like a little threesome kind of situation going on, 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:08.920 I don't think. I don't love triangle. That's exactly what 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.480 we're interpreting the triangle, the love triangle for me, because yes, 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.280 I was incorrect, not a threesome. Yes, I love triangle. 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:18.840 I don't think Rick would have gone for the love 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.880 triangle when you when you signed on, was it for 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.440 four episodes or was their potential for more? Well? I 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.840 think I think I only signed on for the three 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:33.560 episodes and the fourth one they added, Wow, So you 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.640 were really supposed to just be left in Paris? I 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:39.000 think so. As I recall Um. And it's funny because 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.680 I've been Mr Spelling has his group of actors used 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.640 to have come in all the time, and I was 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.560 doing that. I was in his little stable of you know, 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:52.000 Spelling actors coming in. And right after that, probably that 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:57.680 same year, Um, I got cast of Superman. Was too 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.880 happy about that one I got you got out of 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.560 the stable. One of his horses got out of the stable. Yeah, 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:04.840 and he was like, I heard there was a little 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.600 bit of hell to pay for that one. Really, Yeah, 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.080 I heard that, but I don't know if it's true. 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.440 It's one of those things you go. He was always 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:15.520 so gracious and wonderful to me. Um. So I have 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:30.320 nothing but the greatest things to say about him. So, 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.040 so you're saying that the same year you went from 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.920 doing the biggest show being a Beverly Hills down went 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.280 out and then you got this role that changed your 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.080 life forever. And it really was the nine O, two 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.480 and O that did it. Um. It really was just 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.640 because the visibility on that show was so massive and 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.720 what had happened. I guess Melrose Place was starting to 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.080 get cast as well. So there's all those things going on. 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.000 They were talking about me coming in from Melrose Place, 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.360 but I was saying I couldn't go in at the time. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.720 I wasn't available when they wanted to do it. And 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:02.960 Andrew Shoe, who was a great friend of mine, who 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:04.760 became a great friend of mine. He went to Dartmouth, 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.360 I went to Princeton. We're ivy buddies, whatever you want. 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.920 But um, he got to you know, he did a 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.359 role there, a bunch of people that I knew were 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.879 doing things. It was great. But I think somewhere in 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:19.280 there is about when what's what year was season three 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:20.960 of nine o two and oh it was either ninety 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.320 two or yeah, right about ninety two, because you're you've 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.440 got the timeline totally right. They were because they just 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:32.560 launched Melrose Place at this same time and then boom, 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.359 I had Superman. And the funny thing about Superman is 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.959 that I was twenty six when I was cast. Um, 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.720 and you know, even when I was on nine two 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.359 and oh, I was, I was a lot older. I 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.240 was actually I might have been younger than some of 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.199 the people who are playing. Well we didn't know that 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:54.080 at the time, but yeah, now we know a little younger. 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.400 But uh, yeah, so it was twenty six got Superman 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.800 and uh and then it was a run from there's 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.160 fantastic and wonderful. But how did how did that without? 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.600 How did yeah? How did that time playing Clark Kent 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.840 of all the characters? How did that? Just like, I 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.840 don't know, impact your career. I mean, it's impacted my 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.080 entire life. And I was just down with my parents, 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.239 grabbing a quick bite to eat down here, and there 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.080 was a somebody who's a young candidate running for Congress 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.719 here and we're in Las Vegas, um and I live 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.760 in California, but I'm here working and visiting my troop, 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.240 my folks in between, and there was a young candidate 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.080 running for Congress, and there was this whole gaggle of 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.760 ladies who were there to help him run for Congress, 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:39.439 And they said, aren't you so and so? You're a 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:43.680 Superman guy. It never ever leaves you. It's always there. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.879 It's there's when I'm a police officer, it's there when 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:47.240 I fight with a guy in the middle of the 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:50.120 one on one. It happens all the time. I play sports. 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.840 You imagine who playing basketball against somebody and somebody swatch 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.640 your shots? Take that Superman. I mean, well, Jenny has 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:00.800 the same experience. It is so fast, sinating, and Jenny, 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.440 you can touch on that because even thirty years later, 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.120 you should see on our Instagram right now how pissed 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.680 people are that we're Team Kelly and not Team Brent. 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:15.280 And it's been I mean, she can probably relate. I mean, 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.000 you talk about that, like, but wait, but I have 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.440 such a great appreciation for it. I'm sure you did too. 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.640 It sounds like you do like that character, that role. 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:28.000 That job changed the trajectory of your life and all 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.439 for the better. Like you are where you are today 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.800 because of that role, and I feel the same way, 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:35.720 and I don't try to run away from the role. 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.560 You hear all those things. People talk about that and 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.119 people like you played Superman. Yeah, but it's not like 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:43.800 I haven't worked since. Yeah, you've played You've played like 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:48.040 a lot a lot of other roles. But yeah, that's 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.080 the thing. Maybe if I hadn't done anything else and 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.119 I couldn't escape it or whatever. But I mean, to 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.439 be associated with Superman, to be called Superman, I mean, 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.359 they called a lot of things, and Superman is not 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.960 the worst of it, right, So if I can call that, 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:06.320 I mean, it's okay. I'll take it. I think it 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:08.439 was like some amazing casting. I love hearing how nine 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.000 O two and oh did you do? Give that show 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:15.680 some credit? What happened? Like? Did they see that? Did 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.840 it elevate you? Like what happened there? I'm sure it 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.000 elevated me a lot in the eyes of casting directors 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:24.400 and producers and stuff who are casting things, and they say, 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.639 once they see you know, once you're on screen with 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.679 somebody who is of a certain popularity, and Shannon certainly was, 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:32.600 and the whole cast and nine O two and oh, 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.960 and the show was so visible that you become a 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:37.760 viable commodity in that sense. And so what it happened is, 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.959 um I came up to pilot season, which we used 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:45.120 to have, um I was I was offered to test 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.280 for four different pilots or five different pilots. It all 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.000 came piling in right after nine O two and oh 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.000 Superman was six on the air, and it was the 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.680 biggest of the bunch. So I put it in first position. 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.280 They allowed me to test for other ones and second 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.960 and third possession position, which is they don't rarely do 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.240 that either. But they had to tell me we cast 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.439 it on a Wednesday. They had to tell me on 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.080 a Thursday. We went to network on a Wednesday. They 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:08.640 had to tell me thursday whether I had the job 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:10.680
