But the guests we 8 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: have on today is not only an incredible voice over 9 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: actor in a number of animated projects, but also brings 10 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: his voice acting to live action in a way I've 11 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: almost never seen before. It is truly remarkable and I 12 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: can't wait to get into it with him. Who's coming today, Christie? 13 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: Mr Alan Tu Dick yeay, Alan's here. We have been 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,639 Speaker 1: wanting to have you on for so long. Yeah, you're 15 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 1: like one of the dream guests. Yeah, well you don't 16 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: you know? I guess I'll launch right into this. Here's 17 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: why you're one of the dream guests for me, as 18 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm huge into the voice over the animation world, But 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: you take what seems to be the prep for voice 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 1: over and apply it to on camera characters. So how 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: important is finding the voice of whatever character you're doing? 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: And I mean that literally, not the acting standpoint, but 23 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: the actual voice of your on camera character. Hmm. Yeah, 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: it's really I find it it's almost like a mask, 25 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: you know, if you're playing someone who has an English accent, 26 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: is you know whatever, It takes care of so much 27 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: of your character, of me, you know, so you know, 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: so much of it is done. The first job I 29 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: ever had on stage, so acting on stage and how 30 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: I got into voiceovers, was doing twentysomething characters in a 31 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: play about Gilda Radner that Allen's Whitebell wrote. And I 32 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: so I would walk on stage and I'd be like 33 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: this guy who's a cameraman at S and L and 34 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: you know, you know, get out of the way. And 35 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: then I was a French white there who has a 36 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: hair in his mouth and the excuse me, I kind 37 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: of hold on a minute, and there's like a hair 38 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: bit and then I run off stage and I changed 39 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: clothes and I came back. Gods, this hysterical woman who 40 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: is not upset because their boyfriend just left her and 41 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: she doesn't know what she's gonna do. And then I'd 42 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: run off stage and come back on is a guy 43 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: who uh, he's my favorite blue Blue who lost these 44 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: thumbs in the laith accident. That's how I lost this ghye. 45 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: And so I got to play twenty roles that were 46 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: distinguished mainly by costume but voice of different voices. And uh, 47 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: it's how I got my start in New York. That 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: was my first play off Broadway, and I got good 49 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: notices and it gave me. It gave casting directors the 50 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 1: ability to cast me. Then, you know, like they're like, oh, 51 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: he's got a he's popular right now, so we can 52 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: cast him. So I got another job, and then you know, 53 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: I was able to get small jobs and elm and 54 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: small and but I got my first voice over from 55 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: a castinger who saw me in that, and she brought 56 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: me in to do ice age and she just gave 57 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: me a stack of pictures of like these great photos 58 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: of different characters. She's like, there would be like a 59 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: I think, like a line or two at the bottom 60 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: of the character, and she just like, look at the character, 61 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: read the line. How you think that character might sound. 62 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: And I did it for the stack and then got 63 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: done and she's like, I heard back that I had 64 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: three I got three roles and they all were like 65 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: one line each pretty much. I was like I think 66 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: it was me and some a couple other people did 67 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: the Dodo birds prepare for the Ice Age and uh, 68 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: some version of that. And then there was one I 69 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: couldn't stand the voice, and I was I didn't like 70 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: that they picked it, and I was like, really you 71 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: want me to do that? It was like this big 72 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: it was big, heavy air. Uh, saber tooth. In the beginning, 73 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: there was a lot of saber tooth tigers. I'm hungry 74 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah that. I thought it was trash, 75 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: but it's in there. And then um, there were no one. 76 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: Oh it was it's called weird Dinosaurs, Like, hey, why 77 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: do you think they call like the Ice Age? And 78 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: I think that's like it was like a version of 79 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: some cartoon character I had heard growing up. Anyway, UM, 80 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm still stuck on the fact that the 81 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: first play you did you played twenty characters. Right, that's 82 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: still the thing. Right, let's go back. Well, let's start 83 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: at the beginning in terms of it, just like, yeah, where, 84 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: so did you did you grow up around the entertainment industry? 85 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: I mean, did you know that you wanted to do 86 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,119 Speaker 1: this forever? How did you find this? I didn't grow 87 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: up around it. Um My mom put me into the 88 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: Plano Community Theater. I grew up in playing with that, 89 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: so she put me in the community Theater. And that 90 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: was where I did a fabulous fable factory. If you 91 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: know what kids tend to do this, it's it's morals 92 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: and fables. And um, I played the city Rabbit. It 93 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: was like, hey, I think they called him the jag 94 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: talking rabbits. What's going on? And he's like, I could 95 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: beat this guy. I be he talked like that, and 96 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: so it was a kind of a voice as well. 97 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: It was a voice. Um. And I remember inviting so 98 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: I was eleven, I remember inviting the kids from the 99 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: neighborhood came to see it because we did it at 100 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: the mall on the big stage. It was like a 101 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: converted I don't know, storage room or something. It wasn't 102 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: like in the you know, people with uros and stuff. 103 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: It was in the room that they made into a 104 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: little theater space. And the neighborhood, my neighborhood friends came 105 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: and I remember that they were impressed and they didn't 106 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: trash me about It was like, so you're so open 107 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: and ready to be you know, made fun of for what, 108 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: you know, if you put yourself out there and they 109 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: didn't and they were kind of impressed. So that was 110 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: how it started. I got into it in you know, 111 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: just acting in public school, and then I was going 112 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: to quit because I was really yeah, because I wasn't. 113 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: I didn't go into theater because I didn't like the theater. 114 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: You had to choose either theater or speech, and I 115 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: liked speech tournaments. Did you all ever do those things? 116 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: What is the speech tournament? No, it's a debate team speech. 117 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: It's just like, got extracurricular for you to do speech 118 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: is really amazing. They had they had improv. They had 119 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: group improv. So you would like pick four, four or 120 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: five people in your team and you go you pull 121 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: three topics and they would be like egg sprying in 122 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: a pan and you'd go okay, And they give you 123 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: three minutes with your five people to come up with 124 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: a scene and you come back in and you do it. 125 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: And then there was preliminary, semifinals, finals and you want 126 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: a trophy, and there was an impromptu where he was 127 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: just you and you got sixty seconds to come up 128 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: with my microwave blew up and you're like, all right, um, 129 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: and I would use characters. It's that wow, it's wild 130 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: I have, but I would always use a character I 131 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: got to go to. I went first with that friendship 132 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: in my microwave blew up the worst day of my life. 133 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: And you know some that's almost Italian. You have a 134 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: great memory al well. I was, yeah, well were when 135 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: you're young, those and those those moments were big, you know, 136 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: those were those were high. So you were like, so 137 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: do you feel like you were gaining confidence along the 138 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: way of taking these big risks with voice acting over 139 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: over these these kind of opportunities for yourself. I just 140 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: saw it as acting and just having fun. It was 141 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: it was fun. I liked I liked winning trophies, but 142 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: that was like because I was not sporty. I I 143 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: didn't I was, I don't care. I liked playing yard football. 144 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: I like tackling and stuff like that. I wasn't like 145 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: afraid to get hurt. I love that kind of thing, 146 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: But I did. I hated football players. They were sort 147 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: of ran the school and they were mean. And in Texas, 148 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: you don't say, let's say yeah that Texas at least 149 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: Texas isn't isn't big for football that's good in Austin. 150 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah, that's where I am right now. So 151 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: I mean it seems almost like maybe you don't you 152 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: didn't even realize that you've been doing character voices your 153 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: whole life. Yeah, yeah, you know. I did a Yeah, 154 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: I remember I did a play with some older kids, 155 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: like back then they were adults, but they were only eighteen. 156 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: But when I was eleven, like after I had done 157 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: that one summer thing, I did this thing and there 158 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: was a guy who and uh, I was doing this 159 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: lift voice and the eighteen year old guys like, you're 160 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: doing it wrong.

So that way you can just 164 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: do this and you still have a list, but you 165 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: don't have to do that. I was like, oh wow, like, 166 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: no way. At the end of that summer, I had 167 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: a better list voice and anyway.

Yeah. Now he was one of those 203 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: It's one of those times where and I know you've 204 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: you've undoubtedly worked with people like this all the time, 205 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: where you think, well, at least I do. I'll call myself. 206 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: I think I'm good at what I do, and then 207 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: I stand next to a man or a woman who 208 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: takes it to another level and I'm like, I don't 209 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: even know why I'm there, Like what I shouldn't be 210 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: in this room? Is It's that with when when you 211 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: get people like like some of the Corey Burton's and 212 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: the Rob Paulson's and all the kind of people you're 213 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: working with, Um, Nolan, Nolan nor that's the one for me. 214 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: Nolan is the same way. I mean, I've known Nolan 215 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: for years and years and years and years, and the 216 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: first time I worked with them, you just kind of 217 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: go and thanks everybody. I'm out um where they're just 218 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: you take it to another level. But that's the thing 219 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: I always thought was so interesting about you is it 220 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: was from an acting standpoint, like you took a voiceover 221 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: actor and went on camera and it was such a 222 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: strange kind of combination of the two crafts. And I 223 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: know it sounds ridiculous, but I can't think of another 224 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: actor that embodies that the way you do. Because it 225 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what role you're in. It's seems almost like 226 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: the And again I don't know your process, but it 227 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: seems almost like the vote you picked the voice, like 228 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: here's the character, and the characters based on the voice, 229 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: and then the rest of it kind of molds around that, 230 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: which is what you do in vo Yeah, it kind 231 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: of it all kind of happens at once, but the 232 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: best video comes like I've made, I've had the benefit 233 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: of being taught how to do voice over by well, 234 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: like I didn't really start doing because I did that 235 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: way back when I did ice age and that would 236 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: have been like but I didn't get another job really 237 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: until Wreck It Ralph because I smoked cigarettes. I think 238 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: because I smoked. We were just talking. We just talked 239 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: about something about I was a heavy smoker too, and 240 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: it was since the time he was eleven. Yeah, and 241 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: I was doing kids, kids things, so it's like you've 242 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: got to be fourteen and it's like I've already been 243 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: smoking for ten years. It was that same kind of yeah, 244 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: that same kind of feeling. So but the record route 245 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: it's also I mean, did you do any um, any 246 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: kind of daytime animation stuff like like superhero things or 247 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: was it all kind of films? I got some I 248 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: got I got some superhero stuff, but I always felt 249 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: like I was it was like firefly, Um, they brought 250 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: me in to just to be somebody, but I would 251 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: I was like that I was the one person and 252 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: they're like why am I? Why am I here? All 253 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: these people were so much better at this. That's when 254 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: I met Nolan Uh Nolan North, and I was like, well, 255 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: this is so ridiculous like I do. I would do 256 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: like seven eight takes of my thing and then everybody 257 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: was just like one to they're done. Uh, and they 258 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: were nailing it, so I did. I was brought in 259 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: for that stuff, but honestly, my voice couldn't do a 260 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: whole lot because of smoking really affected my voice because 261 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: I was as smoked weeds, so I would I was 262 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: doubling up on my yeah. Actually, um, marijuana is worse 263 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: for your vocal coreally um yeah. I had open throat 264 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: surgery on two nodules and when I was doing my yeah, 265 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm a singer, um from my past and so uh, 266 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: they told me that marijuana smoke is actually um double 267 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: the amount of effect for your voice. Then real, yeah, 268 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: in every other way it's better though in every other way, 269 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: so you know what I mean. They taught us at 270 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: school at Juliard. They taught us um, which was probably 271 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: is a huge It was a huge help for me 272 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: and accents and things to it. That taught me a 273 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: lot as far as the mechanics of your voice, because 274 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: it's it was primarily a voice school. I thought when 275 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: I was there, I was like, we take more voice 276 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: than we do acting interesting, but Kevin said that too. Yeah, 277 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: Kevin Conroy said the same thing. You do it. It 278 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: was a bit obscene, but it was so helpful ultimately. 279 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: But they're also teaching you weird stuff like I was 280 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: out when they're like, you're saying door, it's not that 281 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: it's door. I would think that that attention to detail, 282 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: even in your your sort of training, was it helpful. 283 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: Do you feel like over time do you feel like 284 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: you found some fundamentals in your body when you everything 285 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't have done, not even said of what I've 286 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: done without going to that school. And I hated that 287 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: school when I was there. I left in my third year. 288 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: Are you left? I left? I left? I was I 289 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: was over it. Um, my class was crazy. My class 290 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: was crazy. And what happened like like crazy good or crazy? 291 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: Like you know, wonderful people, I'm sure individually, but when 292 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: you put us together, we were garbage. We were just 293 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: we were garbage people. We were the worst versions of 294 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: ourselves with one another. But like I killed a guy 295 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: after he left, Uh, I was in his third year. 296 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: Was you know in the um, you're not gonna top 297 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: killed the guy, but you know one of my friends 298 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: he died from heroin because there's a lot of drugs 299 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: was cracked and then and then gave way to heroin, 300 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: and there was like we're having a party at my 301 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: apartment one time, and half of the place was just 302 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: nodded out on jump like it was like right during 303 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: that time, pulp fiction came out and although if you 304 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: watched the movie the story, if you say, what is 305 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: the moral of this stories, don't do heroin here. This 306 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: is going the thing the plunger in your chest and 307 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: doesn't look like it's fun, but it was made to 308 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: look very beautiful, you know, with the glamorous cool. Yeah, 309 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: and everybody did it. I did not, Yeah, I just 310 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: did you say you killed the guy? So I didn't 311 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: he killed? They that the guy. This guy was in 312 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: class in my first year. They ended up kicking him 313 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: out because he was he barely come to class and 314 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: he was obviously too young. He was eighteen. He had 315 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: emotional but everybody's got emotional issues in acting school, but 316 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: his seemed to be of a different caliber. And so 317 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: they said leave and get your get it together and 318 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: you can come back. And so he left for a year, 319 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: joined the army, I think or something. Oh, okay, that's 320 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: what I was. My husband's a former marine, and we 321 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: hear some similar certain like you can be a good 322 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: marine in one aspect, I'm sure, and then have the 323 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: other part beat and that's the crazy and it works 324 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: for my acting. But yeah, I might kill you, and 325 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: he did. He ended up anyway, he got kicked out 326 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: when he came back, they gotta go, and he killed somebody. 327 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: So you were like, this is toxic Juilliard, as good 328 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: as you are and as much as there was some 329 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: other problems.

Yeah, we're from Connecticut, at the Hartford 340 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: at the Hartford Stage. Yeah, Mark Lamos, it was great, 341 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: It was great. Yeah, I had no idea how how 342 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: fortunate I was as as an actor at ten years 343 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: old you came to be working with them, but it 344 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: was but it was still great. Yeah, that's great, Yeah, 345 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: cool experience. So I did. But you like, stayed in 346 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: the in the dorms there at Poughkeepsie, and there were 347 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: a lot of people there that um everybody was just 348 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: kind of moving and they were all the people who 349 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: were popping up, and even the directors were directors who 350 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: were starting to get a hold in the New York 351 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: theater and some have had play but they haven't had 352 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: their big play yet, and and so there was a 353 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: lot of people that were important there. And then and 354 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: then they said, hey, we want you to do this 355 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: workshop where you play all these roles. And I did 356 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: Bunny Bunny, he was the play. And I did that 357 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: for two weeks. And then somebody fell out of a 358 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: play and I did that play. And so I just 359 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: stayed up there the whole summer. I had waited tables 360 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: like crazy during the year and had enough money that 361 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: I didn't have to work that summer, and it just 362 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: like it was just lucked out, really, like I can't 363 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: believe I thought ahead enough to. You know, I don't 364 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: even know why I saved money, but I did. It 365 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: wasn't my style because you said he liked the trophy. Yeah, 366 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: and so I made enough contacts that summer that um, 367 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: I got out of school that next year and then 368 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: and then that play. Um, yeah, I could go into 369 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: a room. I auditioned or I just had a meeting 370 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: at an agency, and I had met enough people that 371 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: I could, like, I dropped every name that I had. 372 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: Well if they say fake it till you, and I 373 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 1: truly did. I was like every director, every play right, 374 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: every person. And they Paradigm. They signed me for a year. 375 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: And that was in New York. Yeah, still in New York. 376 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: And then Bunny Bunny Um did workshops and we did it. 377 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: We went to Philly first and then we came to 378 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: New York and then I was hirable after that. But 379 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: I was anyway, good time. Is there is there a 380 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: a style of acting that you prefer? I mean, do 381 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: you do you like doing on camera comedy? Do you 382 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: like doing on camera drama? Do you like doing voice over? Yeah? 383 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: All of them, let them all for their own particular thing. 384 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: The thing about on camera that is that I guess 385 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: I had to pick one. It's on camera and comedy. 386 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: Probably comedy because that's where my brain goes. Yeah, um, 387 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: I used to I would have like ten years ago, 388 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: I would have said drama, drama. I don't know. It's 389 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: just my head. My head's wired to do comedy. It's 390 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: what i've It's when something makes me laugh, it sticks 391 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: in my head in a way that uh, I can 392 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: access it later. Um. And by doing I did plays 393 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: in the beginning, I did new plays, so I saw 394 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: how jokes can be retold, like it's you don't just 395 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: there's a joke. But when we did Bunny, Bunny be like, okay, 396 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: so uh Blue is uh he's the guy, he's got 397 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: no eye, he's this, that the other thing. Um. He 398 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: comes up to the character and he starts to harass him. 399 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: All right, we do it for an audience. It does 400 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: not get laughs. This doesn't work. That doesn't okay, So 401 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: we're switching it around. Then the playwright comes in, comes 402 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: up with a new script. Here you go, this is 403 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: the scene. Now, now he comes to ask you for something. 404 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: And now the same joke that worked where you delivered 405 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: the punch line, he delivers the punch line this time 406 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: and you want up him with a new punch line. 407 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: And I in doing that, all the different iterations that 408 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: we did it, I got I learned by doing it 409 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: in front of audiences how to how jokes are constructed, 410 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: and how how scenes work, and how humor has made. 411 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: And I did that with the Paul Rudnick played too, 412 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: H call called the most fabulous story ever told that 413 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: we did workshops of and for almost a year I 414 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: did this play and oh my god, was it was 415 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: very broad and it was very funny, and uh so 416 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: I learned. I learned comment that way so that those 417 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: so like if a joke sticks in my head, it's 418 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: not just the joke, it's the mechanics of the joker, 419 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: what major joke funny? So that in another situation you 420 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: can do the same thing completely differently. Yeah, it's like 421 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: we are you Are you a musician? Are you? Do 422 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: you have you have a musical background at all? I know? See, 423 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: I'm the same way a joke is, like so much 424 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: of planning a joke is tonal. Yeah, and it's like 425 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 1: how you're using your your instrument, your voice instrument, as 426 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 1: as how to land that. The mechanics of that that's 427 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: really interesting. But it's funny because I think about like 428 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: somebody like Nolan who's that same who's just naturally funny, 429 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: And you can use the mechanics of just having a 430 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: conversation with Nolan or somebody like Nolan where it's like, oh, 431 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: and then I'm just I just tweaked this one thing. 432 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: I can use it completely and maybe making a nice 433 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: clean joke as opposed to a Nolan North joke. But yeah, 434 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: but use the same kind of mechanics that that somebody 435 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: like that did. And you're just constantly learning from the 436 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: people around you, which is the thing that I love 437 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, And and so many jokes are man 438 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: in trouble, you know, you know, like just the I 439 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: don't know, so I guess I would say comedy and 440 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: on camera. And the reason on camera because the stakes 441 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: are higher because you're gonna be on camera and you 442 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: can't just redo it um on camera. You do have 443 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: the ability to redo it on stage, you do not. Yeah, sure, 444 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: I did uh spam a lot. And I was the 445 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: French taunter in one of the scenes that you know 446 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: from if you know the Monty Python Old Grail Uh, 447 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: and you walked on your knees for this whole thing, 448 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: a weeting the castle, the other side of the castle. Uh, 449 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of it was like very physical your 450 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 1: head you did like a goofy head thing and all 451 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: this stuff. But I was had a very pronounced limp 452 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: by the end of the six months that character stuff, 453 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 1: and that came from Bunny Bunny because they were recasting 454 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: Hankersaria had to leave before unexpectedly and they needed somebody 455 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: who could play lion. Slot was a Night and the 456 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: French daunter, and then um Tim the enchanter who has 457 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: a Scottish accent, which I can't do anymore because I 458 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: barely do it. When I did it, I would only 459 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: do some kind of I would basically all the time. 460 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: He's time time time. I don't know. Um Eric, I 461 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: was like, it's not really a Scottish accent, isn't a joke. 462 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: That was one of the greatest, the greatest things that 463 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: ever happened in my entire career. I was doing. I 464 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: was on a sitcom call Boy Met World for a 465 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: lot of years, and we were next to Third Rock 466 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: from the Sun and I saw John Cleese and I 467 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: walked out and I said Mr Clice I I just 468 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: have to tell you that I think you're brilliant, and 469 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, you're one of my biggest inspirations. And he 470 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: looked down at me because he's nine ft tall, and 471 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: he said, um, what what are you doing here? And 472 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: I said, oh, I'm I do a show. I guess 473 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: what what I said. It's called boy meat. He went, oh, yes, 474 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: unfortunately I've heard of it and turned and walked away. 475 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: And it was the greatest because I could tell he 476 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: was insulting me, but it was also tongue in cheek. 477 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: And I walked in back to the stage, going, that's 478 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: the greatest thing that ever happened to me. That's the 479 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: single greatest thing that will ever happen in my career 480 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: just happened right now. And it was just the best. Yes, Unfortunately, 481 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: I've heard of it. And then he turned and left. 482 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: It was just amazing, and I was, Oh God, I 483 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: loved it. I loved everything about it. Yeah, So if 484 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: there is there a I mean, going back to something 485 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: like a spam a lot or something like Monty Python. 486 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: You you talked about being so inspired by the kind 487 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: of the Vaudevillians and Jerry Lewis and things like what 488 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: is there was there a comedy team, like a troop 489 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: that you looked up to as well.

If you have lis 671 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: that's a whole way of speak because you're you're aspiating 672 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: all over your lips and suddenly starts to affect how 673 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: you speak. I knew an actor who used to say 674 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: that he wouldn't he would choose his roles by the 675 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: way they held their mouth.
