Speaker 4: I was I was I was eighty, I was nineteen,
Speaker 4: I was in college.
Speaker 5: I was going to college for entertainment law, and I
Speaker 5: was working at the Apple Store.
Speaker 4: I started acting and dancing when I was a kid,
Speaker 4: so I had been in it. Took a break when
Speaker 4: I was like in high school, got back in college.
Speaker 5: I was like, if I go to school in California,
Speaker 5: I can act a get not the audition It was
Speaker 5: like the next day, but I had this gig at
Speaker 5: the Apple Store.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like one to that audition. They were like no, no, no,
Speaker 4: it's a really cool show.
Speaker 5: Uh, you guys have already filmed the pilot, so that
Speaker 5: the trailer was out for the pilot.
Speaker 4: I went in and watched and my favorite movie was
Speaker 4: Sister Rack Too. Growing up. That's where I got into entertainments.
Speaker 4: I was like, why is this really remind me of st.
Speaker 2: That's the biggest compliment anyone could give the show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I was watching. I'm gonna go.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go, so I what's the audition? The next
Speaker 5: day was with Zach and then the next day then
Speaker 5: they called me back and like he come tomorrow, and
Speaker 5: the uh aster came in there read saying danced again
Speaker 5: and that I didn't hear anything for like a week,
Speaker 5: and then they called.
Speaker 4: And they were like I was walking into a test
Speaker 4: late and they were like, you got it.
Speaker 5: And then we started filming like a couple of days later.
Speaker 5: And it's funny when I got there, think it with
Speaker 5: brag or even one of them was like, welcome to
Speaker 5: the show.
Speaker 4: I was like, and I was like, and I was like,
Speaker 4: in my mind, they were like, you know they did.
Speaker 4: They didn't know exactly what it was gonna be, but
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 5: The writers knew what it was going to be. When
Speaker 5: Harry and I walked off. We were like, oh, happy
Speaker 5: to have any but we were kind of like.
Speaker 2: You Toobe because did you guys think it was just
Speaker 2: like one episode? You didn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like one or two. But then the writers knew.
Speaker 4: They were like oh, and I.
Speaker 2: Was like, we need you. I remember the first day
Speaker 2: you guys walked on, like the first day we filmed together. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was the first time because we had all been
Speaker 2: we had known each other for almost a year by
Speaker 2: this point. Yeah, and that's right, Like having new people
Speaker 2: on felt so strange, like how is this going to work?
Speaker 2: But obviously you and Harry are like the nicest people
Speaker 2: on the planet. Do you remember like that first day
Speaker 2: on set all of us together or any time?
Speaker 4: I do? I do remember it.
Speaker 5: I haven't thought about it, but yeah, very vividly, I think,
Speaker 5: because I didn't know exactly what it was, right, So
Speaker 5: I had practice with none of you guys, just Marked
Speaker 5: and Corey because we actually gave practice the football stuff.
Speaker 5: Those people and then the other actors in the in
Speaker 5: the extras were there, but I hadn't met eve you guys,
Speaker 5: but all of you were so nice.
Speaker 4: You kept coming up and being like nice to meet you.
Speaker 4: Nice to meet. You like, nice to meet. It's the
Speaker 4: nicest casts. One by one they come up and speak.
Speaker 2: We weren't jaded yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, I understood, Oh got it,
Speaker 5: it's a glee club because I think we filmed that
Speaker 5: last round dates or something when they like welcomed us
Speaker 5: into the glee and I.
Speaker 2: Was like, right, all right, better than the Apple Store
Speaker 2: gig for a little bit, you know. Do you know?
Speaker 5: I did not stop going to school or the Apple
Speaker 5: Store gig until like six months of filming because I
Speaker 5: was so.
Speaker 4: I was so I was eating by the trailer.
Speaker 5: And I had got to incomplete all my classes. Every
Speaker 5: time I was taking the test in my trail left,
Speaker 5: I would they.
Speaker 4: Would call us, oh wow.
Speaker 5: So I was braining with the world. I was like,
Speaker 5: I'm not losing this diamond hold on. It is gonna last.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't probably have that foresight when
Speaker 2: they get into acting. But you knew, You're like, this
Speaker 2: could go away tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Tomorrow, right, I gonna need an education in.
Speaker 2: A job because we're like, oh, this pilot probably won't
Speaker 2: get picked up. Most don't. We didn't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, being a child actor too.
Speaker 3: Your time, like anyway, yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely, let me
Speaker 3: see it on paper literally right Obviously in the script
Speaker 3: and the scenes, you're like, oh, welcome to the Glee Club.
Speaker 4: You're like, wow, I'm.
Speaker 1: A part of the show now.
Speaker 3: And we started doing like Dan you know, like Somebody
Speaker 3: to Love.
Speaker 1: I remember doing that one, and that.
Speaker 3: Was like the complete twelve of us, right twelve that
Speaker 3: really felt.
Speaker 1: Like we were a unit.
Speaker 3: What was it like, like jumping into the musical numbers
Speaker 3: and all of that, Like was that something that was
Speaker 3: in your wheelhouse or did it feel different?
Speaker 2: For sure?
Speaker 5: Because I started with Debbie Allen's dance A Have Me
Speaker 5: when I was like three, and then it doesn't play
Speaker 5: and I had been on tour like Rebok and I
Speaker 5: did like Disney singleongs growing up, so it was very
Speaker 5: much in that vein. Yeah, I don't think I knew
Speaker 5: how much the show.
Speaker 4: Required at first, you know, like it became very all encompassing.
Speaker 4: It was I thought it was going to.
Speaker 5: But also like a gift again because I felt like
Speaker 5: it was full circle to kind of like got me
Speaker 5: into entertainment, which was a choir of you know, kids
Speaker 5: inner city. And then I also didn't know what glee
Speaker 5: clubs were before the show.
Speaker 4: I didn't know they.
Speaker 5: So then I started learning, like, oh, this is the
Speaker 5: real I thought the show made it up. I thought
Speaker 5: so Blee was like, oh, okay, You'm make glee club cool.
Speaker 4: And then I realized it was like a real big
Speaker 4: in the world.
Speaker 2: So I was like, Okay, to be fair, I had
Speaker 2: never I had heard of like glee clubs, Like it
Speaker 2: was like an ancient text, like something that used to happen.
Speaker 2: But like I didn't know growing up, like anybody, if
Speaker 2: any existed. I thought it was like an old thing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't know people were doing like show choir. I
Speaker 2: didn't know show Choir existed until we did Glee. I
Speaker 2: had no idea. So you're not alone in that.
Speaker 3: No, A lot of people didn't, to be fair, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 3: obviously the show kind of blew up as we were on,
Speaker 3: you know, deep in the Glee bubble of like doing
Speaker 3: all the hard work that you had said and how
Speaker 3: much work it really it took for us. But out
Speaker 3: in the world, like, what was it like for you
Speaker 3: getting recognized and kind of feeling that side of things?
Speaker 5: I think it was it was cool, right, I think
Speaker 5: it was gratifying, because I do think for that like
Speaker 5: year and a half two years, however, alonga was we
Speaker 5: were so inundated with each other world in a kind
Speaker 5: of you forgot the rest of the world was existing
Speaker 5: because it was so demanding. So then when you could
Speaker 5: go on even the death of the show, right, it
Speaker 5: wasn't until I would travel somewhere else and I'd be
Speaker 5: on Miami and South Beach.
Speaker 4: But yeah, also because to be honest, like the target
Speaker 4: demo was a little different right around. Yeah, it wouldn't
Speaker 4: be like.
Speaker 5: Everyone, but oh yeah, I heard that it was done
Speaker 5: really dope, Like congratulations. First is people in the world
Speaker 5: being like I'm obsessed with it, Like it's funny, Like
Speaker 5: I met somebody last week and they told me that
Speaker 5: their favorite artist on Apple Music is Glee cast and
Speaker 5: that's the current day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it should be like are you okay?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you in therapy? Okay?
Speaker 1: They weren't on the show.
Speaker 4: They just liked the show.
Speaker 2: I think that's also like white So that time and
Speaker 2: we've talked about it a lot on here, but like
Speaker 2: that time was so formative, Like you said, we were
Speaker 2: all around each other all the time. We were obsessed
Speaker 2: with each other. We hung out with each other all
Speaker 2: the time. If we weren't filming, we were going to
Speaker 2: events with each other. And so that set up this
Speaker 2: whole foundation. All that chemistry you see on the show
Speaker 2: was because we all liked each other and we all
Speaker 2: got along. None of us realized that's what we were
Speaker 2: signing up for, that we would have all these like
Speaker 2: new great friends. Right. So, like bumping into you even
Speaker 2: though like you know, you were on the show the
Speaker 2: entire time, but like bumping into you was like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is family, Like this is our family, and I
Speaker 2: feel like it's so nice because like I feel like
Speaker 2: you see Amber a lot and oh yeah. But like
Speaker 2: when we started going to events and things, I felt
Speaker 2: like we were was learning from you because somehow we
Speaker 2: would go someplace like Dijon knew everyone Dejon was like connected,
Speaker 2: except we're like how does We're like at the chateau
Speaker 2: for some event and he's talking to all these people like.
Speaker 4: What how did you know?
Speaker 2: Because we're all like new, we're all figuring this out,
Speaker 2: and Dejon is just like, oh, entertainment, baby, like he
Speaker 2: has been doing this for forever. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it was cool because it was kind of
Speaker 5: like being for me that part, and then the show
Speaker 5: for me felt like high school, right. So that's why
Speaker 5: when I see anybody, it felt like the introduction to
Speaker 5: this bit in my life. And then also like now
Speaker 5: when you want to say that, they say, it's very
Speaker 5: much to do your job right, do your job. It's
Speaker 5: toel nice or pleasant.
Speaker 4: But have a great day. Guys, it was great working
Speaker 4: with you.
Speaker 5: Then it felt like almost took every form of your life,
Speaker 5: like you wanted to know that.
Speaker 4: People, you wanted to experience them.
Speaker 5: It was more so like an experience than just a job,
Speaker 5: which I think most people don't get right.
Speaker 2: None of us obviously we get asked like if we
Speaker 2: knew the show was going to be a success or
Speaker 2: anything like that, and obviously none of us knew that.
Speaker 2: But do you remember, besides you know, getting recognized once
Speaker 2: we were out in the world and going to other cities,
Speaker 2: of the feeling of when the show started to air
Speaker 2: that like we were always like really proud of what
Speaker 2: we were doing. But because like people like you and
Speaker 2: I did not know glee clubs existed. My high school
Speaker 2: experience was very different than this show. Yeah, and you
Speaker 2: said you gave up sort of being in entertainment during
Speaker 2: high school of like when you're now filming this and
Speaker 2: this is sort of high school again and you're also
Speaker 2: in college and flunking out of classes because we're not
Speaker 2: giving you enough time, that feeling of like for me,
Speaker 2: it was like, oh, these are my college years, Like
Speaker 2: this is making up for this thing I didn't get
Speaker 2: and I'm doing something I really liked. Like I think
Speaker 2: anybody on the show can attest to. You didn't get
Speaker 2: a lot of opportunities to do something where you got
Speaker 2: to sing, dance and act, like do all the things
Speaker 2: we all really enjoyed doing, and like the feeling of
Speaker 2: being able to do that every day with all these
Speaker 2: people that we really enjoyed, Like do you remember it?
Speaker 2: Was there a point for you we're like, oh, this
Speaker 2: is wild, this is crazy that this is my job.
Speaker 4: I think the part I.
Speaker 5: Honestly remember that it's probably gonna be different than everybody
Speaker 5: else was when I saw how the studio and network
Speaker 5: responded to because I've been around the block a couple
Speaker 5: of times, right, and that wasn't normally so many times
Speaker 5: they pop up, how they come to rehearsals. I even
Speaker 5: remember like like championing certain things. I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: and I remember the upfront too, right, Yeah, and we
Speaker 5: think were kind of like they're putting a lot into
Speaker 5: this show. I think it even me or early right
Speaker 5: after the super.
Speaker 2: Bowl or something. Yeah, it was after American Yeah, I
Speaker 2: was at that point was when I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's special, like people are noticing and special, and then
Speaker 2: I get the fear was I remember a little bit
Speaker 2: of the fear was when people people saw it.
Speaker 4: If that was right. I knew it was special. I
Speaker 4: knew that network and Sex Battle was special.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you just never know. I think it's also
Speaker 2: interesting because I feel like you and Nya had more
Speaker 2: experience than us in that way, because you had both
Speaker 2: grown up working a lot and being being in LA
Speaker 2: and being around the entertainment business, Like you knew to
Speaker 2: look for those things. And we're like, oh, yeah, this
Speaker 2: is probably normal. The execs are here all the time.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, did you do another show You're like, were
Speaker 5: the net?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, oh, nobody cares about us, worse data. She
Speaker 2: should be here. She wants to see this. I assure you.
Speaker 1: I'm curious since given your.
Speaker 3: Experience in the business and like you'd done this before
Speaker 3: when Matt leaves the show essentially when wh you know,
Speaker 3: I think the fans have questions of like why didn't
Speaker 3: anybody acknowledge it right?
Speaker 1: Like what was the experience?
Speaker 3: Like I would imagine like some of the things you
Speaker 3: had learned in your past and given that you had
Speaker 3: done this potentially helped you in understanding like this is
Speaker 3: how the job kind of works.
Speaker 5: Yes and no to that, I think because I think
Speaker 5: a lot of why it happened that way is because
Speaker 5: it happened so last minute.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys remember I went to
Speaker 4: the seasons who bottles you?
Speaker 5: And I already felt something right, so I pick me
Speaker 5: up like done the deal with coming back? Something happened
Speaker 5: behind the scenes. They were like still go to the
Speaker 5: shoe often to shoot was super awkward because in my mind,
Speaker 5: I'm thinking, like why am I coming to the shoot?
Speaker 5: They're like studios like go to the shoot, go to
Speaker 5: the shoot rather to go than not go, And they
Speaker 5: took in that moment. It was weird right because it
Speaker 5: wasn't like settled if I think we were starting work the.
Speaker 4: Next week, so it was also processing this in real.
Speaker 5: Time as it's unfold I think it would have been
Speaker 5: different if I was like total at the end of
Speaker 5: the last season, like Okay, this is what's happening.
Speaker 4: I think there was a response to something. Right. I
Speaker 4: was so young. It was all I knew for a
Speaker 4: year and a half to the years. But I'm afraid,
Speaker 4: and I was like, God.
Speaker 5: If it's not mine taking, right, it's not mine taking
Speaker 5: And then he did right. So then I think it
Speaker 5: was just the processing of feeling like these people where
Speaker 5: I had been able to call right and it was
Speaker 5: such a family, and I was so young. I was
Speaker 5: nineteen when I got on the show rightly right now
Speaker 5: on twenty one. To feel like that's ended and that
Speaker 5: wasn't my family. That was probably a harder lesson in
Speaker 5: realization than just the job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, especially when you it's like one of those
Speaker 2: like classic horrible entertainment business where it's like you've already
Speaker 2: like gotten your deal picked up for season two, you're
Speaker 2: at the photo shoot and then yeah, yeah, I didn't
Speaker 2: even remember that.
Speaker 1: No, no, I remember that. And do you feel like
Speaker 1: you it took you time to find closure.
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you ever got the closure like
Speaker 3: of just kind of closing that chapter?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, And I think I definitely have a full
Speaker 5: circle perspective. I think it was supposed that happened, rather
Speaker 5: I would have wanted it to happen with sports and
Speaker 5: I at that time. But I think it retrospected was
Speaker 5: a part of my journey and I'm grateful for it.
Speaker 5: It also just shows me how to be a better
Speaker 5: showrunner and director, and how.
Speaker 4: To low on actors and how to meet a little better.
Speaker 5: And then I also think there was something I just
Speaker 5: need to inducted personally, right and I and I'm okay
Speaker 5: with not knowing where I would have ended up in
Speaker 5: that journey continued I was supposed And then I think
Speaker 5: also it gave me an absence of attachment to it
Speaker 5: or aspect to an goal that was like, oh, this
Speaker 5: is what I wanted it to be.
Speaker 4: This like this is what it actually is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's time and maturity, right, and
Speaker 3: also like just letting that like the wounds heal, if
Speaker 3: there were wounds, you know what I mean, just all
Speaker 3: the things that you feel when something abrupt happens like that.
Speaker 3: But it's you know, it's the name of the entertainment game,
Speaker 3: and you know you can't we're not taking these things
Speaker 3: were hopefully with maturity, like not taking these things as
Speaker 3: personally anymore or time are worth to achievements and jobs
Speaker 3: that we have, right.
Speaker 5: I think the funny part is some of the most
Speaker 5: what I have done to The more irritating part would
Speaker 5: be when people would project their opinion of it.
Speaker 4: Oh, I haven't even thought about that show, but then
Speaker 4: now now because.
Speaker 3: For that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, and you must feel it. It's like I
Speaker 4: must feel or you feel like.
Speaker 2: I should feel, right, Yeah, I think, like that's not
Speaker 2: my business. Don't put that on me. We just got
Speaker 2: done watching the full series. And when you've come back,
Speaker 2: you come back in like I think twice, and it
Speaker 2: was so nice too, Like I knew you came back
Speaker 2: at some point, I just didn't remember exactly when. And
Speaker 2: each time you come back, it just felt it was
Speaker 2: it was just like a beautiful thing to see because
Speaker 2: it really felt like obviously, like everybody comes back in
Speaker 2: that I live number, everybody's there. But there was something
Speaker 2: about like you and Harry coming onto that stage together
Speaker 2: and like doing a dance together that that really felt
Speaker 2: like the circle closing, you know, that got me so hard,
Speaker 2: like more than anybody else showing up on that stage.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. It was like you and Harry
Speaker 2: together joining us was like like choked down.
Speaker 5: I was really felt that was my partner crime, right,
Speaker 5: we went on that journey together.
Speaker 4: And I'll even add.
Speaker 5: Heather and I, but I also quind not a blessing,
Speaker 5: right because I was younger than Harry two and even
Speaker 5: that wisdom and pete kinda that he had and deny
Speaker 5: it Heather being there before, So it kind of felt
Speaker 5: like it was serendid toitous that it wasn't a journey
Speaker 5: to walk on alone.
Speaker 4: So you never felt like I have nowhere next to
Speaker 4: you to lean on, right right.
Speaker 2: And there's some good people to lean on exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you have any great like memories of the
Speaker 3: numbers that you were part of because you were part
Speaker 3: of a lot of them, Like do you have any
Speaker 3: favorites that you enjoyed felling me.
Speaker 4: I loved, uh hate on me there?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it lives in my mind, like the one
Speaker 3: like that one lives in my mind.
Speaker 4: It was so fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I also like, I don't I can remember what the
Speaker 5: song was though when we did, uh it was it
Speaker 5: was it sectionals and we were it.
Speaker 4: Was that big competition I think it was don't run
Speaker 4: on my parade?
Speaker 1: Was it the journey one?
Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think we kept region through like the like the
Speaker 5: auditorium out down.
Speaker 1: There, yep, in the black and red right, yes.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, that felt like because it felt at that
Speaker 5: point of real journey.
Speaker 2: And we were finally like in a theater.
Speaker 5: It felt like, Okay, we accomplished something. I felt like
Speaker 5: at that point to me, really we really were.
Speaker 2: Like a totally that was our first time. I think
Speaker 2: that was our first sectionals and we were all that was.
Speaker 2: That felt like a really big deal because but before
Speaker 2: that we had just been on the stages and you're
Speaker 2: not really seeing anybody else and having a real audience.
Speaker 2: It was very strange. Yeah, but it did feel like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: we've made it. This is this is We're gonna wing
Speaker 2: this right, We're like, oh, we have budget, We're in
Speaker 2: a real theater. That was how I didn't necessarily notice
Speaker 2: the exacts. Sometimes I would notice the budget like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is expensive.
Speaker 3: We ask everybody on the show who was a part
Speaker 3: of the show, what is the feeling that Glee leaves
Speaker 3: you with?
Speaker 4: M Like the experience of doing it or the show.
Speaker 3: Itself both, whatever you want.
Speaker 5: I think the show itself was positive, right, gave people
Speaker 5: permission to be themselves, people who weren't see people who
Speaker 5: felt like they were out ass people who were you know,
Speaker 5: hiding in the dark about their sexuality or were things
Speaker 5: about themselves.
Speaker 4: Or even that they were a theater, right would it
Speaker 4: be sp I think it gave visibility.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: From an experiences stamic point, it's that were the lightning strikes.
Speaker 5: It just is a roar, right, and I think oppositive
Speaker 5: people don't get to experience that. It was such a
Speaker 5: big experience that I think the gifts right because you know,
Speaker 5: you teach you how to just do it better every
Speaker 5: time and also how to I think that none of
Speaker 5: us had a road map of how to do it right,
Speaker 5: you know, yeah, be able to look back or offer
Speaker 5: somebody like, hey, this would be the best way to
Speaker 5: do that.
Speaker 4: And I think we can do that with all our experiences.
Speaker 2: And speaking of which, I feel like you have been
Speaker 2: doing so much after the show, where you've been in
Speaker 2: a leadership position where you've been able to take all
Speaker 2: these things that you've learned. Can you tell us, like
Speaker 2: what sort of things that you've been you've been doing
Speaker 2: and show running and making and creating because I think.
Speaker 5: The cool part was a show even to that, like
Speaker 5: having the platform to be able to do other things,
Speaker 5: like all those years on set, even though they go
Speaker 5: to film school became my film school, right, Oh yeah, learning, listening,
Speaker 5: cut in action, you know, learning you know what every
Speaker 5: role is and it having a passion for story, right.
Speaker 5: I think as a as a leader on set, the
Speaker 5: creative is the driving force and having a passion to
Speaker 5: peak amazing.
Speaker 2: I mean it's been You've gotten shows made and like
