1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: It's nine O one.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: With Jenny Garth and Tory spelling.

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 3: This is very exciting. We have Greg Daniel. He played

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 3: Dean Whittemore on nine O two and zero. His character

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 3: worked with Chancellor, Arnold and Brandon, and let's bring him

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: on in. Hi, Greg, How are you?

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 2: Good morning, ladies? How are you hello?

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 4: You look so handsome. Nice to see you. Where do

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 4: we find you today?

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 5: Where are you upstairs at my office at home in

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 5: LA in Los Angeles? Yes, I'm in New Yorker, but

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 5: I live in Los Angeles and have been for some time.

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: Now.

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: Okay, well, which do you like better? New York or La?

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 2: Oh? Why would you go there? Okay?

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: I know you can't like.

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: I've never been an elitist.

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 6: I never felt like a New York had was superior.

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 6: Because of this, I kind of accept each state for

20
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 6: what it is. I love a Los Angeles. The first

21
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 6: thing I did when I got out was suah, I

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 6: got a invertible car because I know I can't I

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 6: wouldn't have one in New York.

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: So I got a convertible to learned how to scuba dive.

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 6: So there were all these things I could do out

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 6: here that I wouldn't necessarily have done in New York,

27
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 6: so I equally loved them both.

28
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: You've taken full advantage of California.

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: As I'm continuing to as well.

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good.

31
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:25,279
Speaker 4: We were talking about you at playing Dean Whitmore, yes,

32
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 4: and we were just wondering, you know, how you came

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 4: about getting the role and what that was like, Like

34
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 4: did you have to audition?

35
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: I didn't, you remember?

36
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: I did? I did.

37
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 6: There was a flurry. In fact, it was a few

38
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 6: years after I had moved out here, so a few years.

39
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 6: It hasn't really been thirty years come home.

40
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I know sad to say.

41
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 6: But it's been a little It's been a very fulfilling

42
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 6: and productive thirty years. But I remember shortly after I

43
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 6: got out of here, one of the many auditions I

44
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 6: went on, of course, was nine O two one zero,

45
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 6: and I was pleased to get it, but also because

46
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 6: I had a chance to recur. And with the recurring roles,

47
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 6: I'm sure you like now you get a chance to

48
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 6: build a characters, not a one off we jump in

49
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 6: and just say your lines, get out, But with a

50
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 6: recurring role, you really get to sort of build a character.

51
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 6: You have an arc or storyline, even if you make

52
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 6: up for yourself. So I was really pleased it led

53
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 6: to not just one, but I wound up doing five

54
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 6: or six episodes, which I was really pleased in that

55
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 6: character's growth during that time. It was a pretty tumultuous

56
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 6: time at California University Spring those episodes that I appeared in.

57
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: You know, it was a pretty tumultuous time.

58
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: So when you got the role, did they tell you

59
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: how many episodes it would be?

60
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 6: No, they just said recurring. They just gave that phrase recurring,

61
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 6: And of course I just took that to me. Nothing

62
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 6: absolutely nothing. No, you just miss it and you want

63
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 6: no You just say okay, fine, great, and you listen

64
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 6: until you get another call that says, oh they want

65
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 6: Dean Whitmore to come back, and oh so by the

66
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 6: second one I knew, okay, so they're sort of developing

67
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 6: this character. Then I was at home and I could

68
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 6: focus on it, but you know, I tend to not

69
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 6: not pay any attention move on to the next audition.

70
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: But I was pleased.

71
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 6: As I said earlier, I was pleased that I recurred

72
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 6: in that particular role.

73
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 4: The show in season five was sort of about the

74
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 4: peak of the height of its popularity. I guess you

75
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: would say, had you ever watched the show before.

76
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: You came on it?

77
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: I had, I actually had watched.

78
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 6: So actually, in the episodes I was involved in, I

79
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 6: was kind of impressed in some of the topics that

80
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 6: you guys were handling. I mean, one of my favorites

81
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 6: was I think my first one, hate is just a

82
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 6: four letter word.

83
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: You may remember it, but.

84
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 6: It was about an African American minister was invited who

85
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 6: had anti Semitic views, was invited to the campus to speak,

86
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 6: and of course it was a huge protest. But it's

87
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 6: interesting how it mirrors what's happening on the campus today

88
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 6: with unfortunately the attack the seventh and the war in God.

89
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 6: But it's really interesting how and I also teach at

90
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 6: USC School Dramatic Arts, so how the universities now will

91
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 6: beginning to interpret free speech versus hate speech. I mean,

92
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 6: it was sort of before its time in anticipating that

93
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 6: that was an issue, that was a theme that might recur.

94
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 6: I know another episode was about rape and your possible

95
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 6: rape tory, if you recall.

96
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: So they were really mature subjects. I thought they were.

97
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 6: These is not just glossy kind of you know, okay,

98
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 6: we ate that up. That's the media special for today.

99
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: But there were really.

100
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 6: Something having topics and handled sensitively. I really particularly that

101
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 6: first one Hays, just to follow the word. I thought

102
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 6: the way that hearing the views from each side was

103
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 6: very balanced, very fair, and very unmature.

104
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, surprisingly well done, honestly for such a big topic.

105
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: At that time. Absolutely, so I was really involved. I

106
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: was really pleased about that.

107
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: And did you meet Jason first? Was he the first

108
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: cast member you met?

109
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: Yes?

110
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 6: In fact, I one of the episodes Jason directed. I

111
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 6: remember he directed one of our episodes, so yes, so

112
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 6: I kind of had a nice one on one with

113
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 6: him because I was involved with him more than just

114
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 6: actor as a actor, but director to actor as well,

115
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 6: and we took to each other terrific, you know the Canadian.

116
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: To each other, and I enjoyed working with them. I

117
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: was surprised.

118
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 6: I didn't know that he was actually direct, could direct

119
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 6: and would direct. But again, working with him in that

120
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 6: episode that I did was most respect for actors, really

121
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 6: made it easy, really protected your performance. So I enjoyed,

122
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 6: and he had a great sense of humor. He just

123
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 6: had a you know, The Woods was refreshing. Everyone had

124
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 6: a great.

125
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 2: A great sense of humor, you know, which made it

126
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: just a pleasure to be.

127
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to ask you. You said you

128
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: teach at U C l A.

129
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: I do I teach you a school of dramatic arts?

130
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: That's correct?

131
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: And do I know I think your students are probably

132
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 4: too young, but do any of them recognize you?

133
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: From nine to two one oero?

134
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 2: Now from nine and two one on? What I still?

135
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: Actually so I've done. I was a series regular on True.

136
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: Blood, and I probably more their speed.

137
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. They're like, wow, give mean the remake? No, no, no, no, guys,

138
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: the remake? I know the original.

139
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 6: And I had a recurring on Insecure for a number

140
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 6: of all all four four or five season, so you

141
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 6: know they love that. They get a gas out of there,

142
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 6: but they go back and look at the credit sometime

143
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 6: and go you did.

144
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: You know?

145
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 6: So I feel trying not to feel too Jurassic like

146
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 6: a dinosaur, but you did.

147
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: I mean, they must be blown away by your body

148
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 4: of work. You've word so much. It's probably very inspirational

149
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: for yourself.

150
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: I've been blessed.

151
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 6: But I always tell them, you know, it's not when

152
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 6: you get out and doing one series or one feature

153
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 6: or whatever.

154
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: It's thirty forty years.

155
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 6: Down the line. Always tell them this. It's the longevity

156
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 6: of your career that you want to encourage. It's not

157
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 6: just doing one or two projects. But if you can say,

158
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 6: twenty thirty years out the line, since you've graduated from

159
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 6: whatever acting program you may or may not have gone to,

160
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 6: if you're still working in the industry and doing the

161
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 6: things you love to do that success.

162
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 4: What would you say it takes to have that kind

163
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: of longevity in a career variety?

164
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 6: I mean the ability to do a number of things,

165
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 6: because I've done multi camera sitcom, I've done single camera episodic,

166
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 6: I mean veraight comedy, drama. The more verse till you are,

167
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 6: the more versatile your instrument is, the more you'll get hired.

168
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 6: It's as simple as that. I mean, if you can

169
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 6: move in and out of certain genres, I think it's

170
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 6: the best way to ensure that you're a versatile actor

171
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 6: and that they'll see that versatility and hire you. I've

172
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 6: done absolutely everything, everything, and I attribute that to the

173
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 6: training I had many moons ago. Would also be able

174
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 6: to apply that on any kind of genre, any whether

175
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 6: it's procedural, whether it's a sitcom, whether it's a single

176
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 6: camera episodic. You know, being able to move in and

177
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 6: out of those genres are really important, I think to

178
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 6: a career.

179
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: Are you on TikTok yet?

180
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, I want to talk. I kind of had

181
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: to be dragged onto ticket. But my daughter was the

182
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: one that it was my publicist, actors. I should have be,

183
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: should be on TikTok. And what's the gas about it

184
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: is that when I do do TikTok, I do a

185
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 2: little dance routines with my daughter.

186
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

187
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: Oh I can bust the movie, y'all. I can bust

188
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: the move now, I believe it. I do some. So

189
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: we come up with a little.

190
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 1: Dan Wait, wait, what's your TikTok handle?

191
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: I think it's Greg Daniel. I think it's to retain

192
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: my name.

193
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: You up.

194
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 6: She comes over and we work on these little routines,

195
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 6: just this little I don't know, sixty second routines. But

196
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 6: it's so much fun to have father and daughter doing that.

197
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 6: She really is the pleasure while I'm on TikTok.

198
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: She really is that your only daughter?

199
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: Yes it is, Yes it is. And she's not in

200
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: the business.

201
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: How old is she?

202
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: She's twenty five now, thanks for asking. She's twenty five now.

Speaker 1: Yeah, we are going to look you up do and.

209
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: Just be careful now. And everybody can do those moves,

210
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: so be careful now, be careful.

211
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: I don't going to try them.

212
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: It's a lot.

213
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 6: It's a lot because now she grew up watching a

214
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 6: lot of the shows, and of course I think I

215
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 6: did a series of Disney shows kits, and that's when

216
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 6: I became oh.

217
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: You're an actor? Did anything else? Yeah, I did a

218
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: couple of Disney Kids shows. It was a lot of fun.

219
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: But that's when she's sort of like, oh, okay, so

220
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: you're a serious actor now, dad.

221
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, look beyond Disney a few other things.

222
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, we have a close, very close relationship.

223
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: Other than TikTok.

224
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 4: What are you working on these days? We heard you

225
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,480

Speaker 2: I don't know.

230
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 6: On the NDA, I think I can say, because the

Speaker 6: trailers out that I'm a music instructor.

232
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: I think I can say that. Please don't get me

Speaker 2: Just what you should tell you. It was one of

251
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: my students that said, oh, professor, your voice, that's you.

Speaker 6: how they could recognize that that was my voice. So yes,

255
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 6: I was very please and very surprised.

256
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: I was what else? What else?

257
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: Well?

258
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 6: I also am a stage director. I'm also a stage director,

259
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 6: and I have a beautiful play running right now. The

260
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 6: Appulitzer Prize winning playwright August Wilson. He wrote ten plays

261
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 6: and we're doing number nine. The title is King Headley

262
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 6: the Second and it had a Noise Within Theater Company

263
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 6: in Pasadena.

264
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: Beautiful play. I have a Helo cast Hella.

265
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 6: Design team and it's been running for the last few

266
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 6: weeks and we have at least a week left.

267
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: So that was that was one.

268
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 6: We've committed to doing all ten plays this theater company

269
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 6: and Noise Within and I. So we're we're moving through

270
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 6: the cycle of plays they termed the Century cycle, so

271
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 6: we've been working through them. But that's really and my

272
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 6: wife is the lead. My wife is n was also

273
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 6: a very gifted and talented actress, so she's the lead.

274
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: So it's been that's that's been oneerful. That's been really good.

275
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: Have you worked with your wife before on that level?

276
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: A number of times? Yeah, I have. People are say

277
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: have you guys worked together.

278
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 6: You know, it's kind of a shorthand because we understand

279
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 6: the world of acting and what the you know, the

280
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 6: pitfalls as well as the triumphs. So we sort of

281
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 6: have that kind of sensitivity and understanding about it. So

282
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 6: it's a it's a pleasure to work with her. It's

283
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 6: a pleasure to work with her because again we speak

284
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 6: a common language. We know what those challenges are, and

285
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 6: we try not to bring it home when we get in.

286
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: We don't talk.

287
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 6: About so today the character of Ruby did no. We

288
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 6: try to talk about life stuff. Hey, we do you

289
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,640

290

Speaker 2: Hey?

291
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 6: Where do you want to go for? What do you

292
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 6: want to have dinner? You heard about that new restaurant

293
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 6: in Larchmont. So we try not to dwell on it

294
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 6: when world right.

295
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the healthy way too.

296
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: And we've been married twenty eight years.

297
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: Now, So congratulations.

298
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: I think we're doing something right.

299
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: I think so Clearally, you met her after you were

300
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 4: on nine or two, I know then.

301
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: No believe or not.

302
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 6: I met her first time I got out here, but

303
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 6: there was no sparks, no sparks blow.

304
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: I met her casually when I first got out here, and.

305
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 6: I thought, Okay, she's nice, and then I started to

306
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 6: see her recurring a few more times, and I thought, wow,

307
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 6: she's cute.

308
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: She's kind of cute.

309
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: Oh she grew on you.

310
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: She I'd say, probably I grew on.

311
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I was going to ask about she's.

312
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: Honestly, you know, truth be told. I grew on her.

313
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 6: So then I finally asked her out on a date.

314
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 6: But it was the first time or two. I was like, no,

315
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 6: I don't think that. I don't think she's my type.

316
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: I don't think Wow, yeah, I know, I know, Tori.

317
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: It's like you could have almost missed the boat.

318
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: I know. But you know, that's what happens. That's what happens.
