0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:09.679
<v Speaker 5>the night.

<v Speaker 2>Dot. You know, we look up everybody's like bios to

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.960

<v Speaker 2>we know you emotionally. Yes, you don't need a bio.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>But then when you read it in black and white,

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 2>it's like, oh, no big deal. Dot was nominated for

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 2>three Emmys three years in a row. And it's just

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>it's when you see that, you're like, that's damn right.

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 2>She was like, are you kidding me? Because I think

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>we forget all the craziness that we all experience together

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and the love we all have for each other. Right,

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 2>you also just casually get nominated for Emmys back to

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:52.839
<v Speaker 2>back to back.

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Casually.

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 4>Casually. That's right.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>So you did.

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 3>You did the pilot that Ryan had talked about. We

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 3>got to see pretty Handsome with sweet John Roth, and

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 3>it was wonderful. It's such a fantastic pilot and I

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 3>wish more people could have seen it.

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Was that the first time that you worked with Ryan.

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 5>No, I had actually done a few nip tug and

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 5>then I did the pilot, and then of course ran

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 5>into Brad and told him to write me.

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 4>Something for real?

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Is that how it happened.

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 4>That is a true story.

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 5>I ran into him at a grocery store and I

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 5>hadn't seen him since we did the pilot.

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 4>A pretty handsome and so when you do it?

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 5>He said, We're just wrapping up the first season of Glee,

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 5>and I'm like, come on, man, write me something.

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 4>I want to work with you guys again. He said,

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 4>do you sing?

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 5>And I was like, shit, I'm no Mariah Carey, but

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 5>I can carry a tune.

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>You're like, yes, yes, I sing, Yes, sure, it's.

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 4>Just shower count.

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes it does.

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of singing and locker room showers in Glee.

0:03:58.360 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that's right.

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 4>Amen, and on camera and off camera. Right.

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Wait, so then they called you and they said we

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>have something for you. How did it happen?

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh, like I told I told Brad, I said, I

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.719
<v Speaker 5>said tell Ryan because I'll tell him. And I said okay,

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 5>And like literally like two or three months, my at

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 5>that time agent called me and said that they asked

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.280
<v Speaker 5>my availability starting in July that they were writing me something.

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:30.799
<v Speaker 4>So and I actually signed.

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 5>It was just I mean not just but it was

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 5>a guest star of my first four seasons on the show.

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 5>But it was parentheses, like where it said the role

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 5>of when I signed my first contract because I didn't

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 5>have Beast's name yet.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 4>It was just they were writing this character. So I'm like, hell, yeah, man,

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 4>wow wow.

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Respect and being loyal to their word, you know, right.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we live in a town where people say

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things. Sure, it's nice to actually come through,

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's if anyone you and see how

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 2>talented you are and how sweet you are, it's like,

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:03.799
<v Speaker 2>of course they would.

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.600
<v Speaker 4>Kevin, I still don't know what I'm doing do any

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 4>of us?

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you know? So we're we're about a third of

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>the way through season two, watching season two and all

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I think about is our first week together. You and

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 2>I spent a lot of time together because I was

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 2>joining the football team. You were new, and being on

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the football team was new to me, and Chord was new,

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 2>and Chord to us was the funniest thing in my

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 2>entire world. And you and I I just remember out

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.239
<v Speaker 2>late on those on the football field and he would

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 2>say some wild shit and you and I would find

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 2>each other from across the field and burst out laughing

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.280
<v Speaker 2>and run to each other and like, wait, did we

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 2>just did he? Just? Who is this person.

0:05:58.760 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 7>Is?

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 4>Gary Busey? Oh my god?

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>I love It's very good.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 2>It was so good. I felt like I would then

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>go back and could report to the rest of the

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Glee kids, like, Yo, this Chord can do all these impressions.

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 2>But also Dot is incredible. You got to hang out

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 2>with Dot. It was the best I because you know,

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 2>we were around the same people all the time. We're

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>in the Glee club every day. And for me to

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>do anything else and then have it be with you,

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why we were together. I felt like

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot those first few years of season two we

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 2>were and I just clung to you. You know, you

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 2>can feel it when somebody's good people.

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was.

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, between you and Corey, it was like and then

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.960

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:57.919
<v Speaker 5>it's like a dream.

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 4>And then just getting to be around the other kids,

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:01.159
<v Speaker 4>because I mean.

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.960

<v Speaker 8>a total bitch.

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 4>And we just died laughing.

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 8>And so she was so cute because then when we

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 8>worked together, she I walked in a few times and

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 8>she was changing our chairs so that I was on

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 8>her right side.

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.359
<v Speaker 1>She'd always do that, she'd like come to my other side.

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 4>I love her so much. Oh my god, it was

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 4>so damn funny.

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, you had so many scenes with her, did

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 2>you ever break because.

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 5>Oh god, yeah, that's what we're supposed to do. That

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 5>was the funnest part. Oh yeah, some of our stuff.

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 7>It was just you couldn't help it, I know, especially

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 7>in the teacher's lounge when I had to eat three

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 7>thousand pounds of rotisserie chicken.

0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, God, the chicken for real.

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 5>Well, there was this one episode where they wanted me

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.440
<v Speaker 5>to just keep shoving it in my face and talk

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 5>as I'm doing it, and I like spit like chicken,

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:14.199
<v Speaker 5>and that made us laugh.

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:15.199
<v Speaker 4>And then.

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 5>I just kept oh my god, And so I'm talking

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 5>with my mouth full, and I'm like, oh my god,

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 5>because they wanted me to get the lines out with

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 5>steal my mouthful.

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 4>But I kept like spitting food across the table.

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 3>And then once you start doing it, you gotta do

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 3>it for every take like that exactly.

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god.

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.079
<v Speaker 5>Yes, And they kept bringing in cut up chicken to

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 5>stick in the place on this chicken where I'd taken

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 5>it from.

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 2>It was funny. We've talked to a couple of people

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 2>who were not in nearly as many episodes as you.

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 2>But they were in a lot and they were guest

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 2>stars for the first bit, and they were saying, how

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, you could just sort of be left not

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>knowing when you're coming back what your storyline was going

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 2>to be, and then all of a sudden you show

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 2>up and you're in an episode out of nowhere?

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:14.719
<v Speaker 4>Right, What was I mean?

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 2>You were in almost fifty episodes you were.

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I was in forty some Yeah?

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Did you Was that like that for you? Or because

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 2>you were such I think as a regular character, you

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 2>were there all the time. Like once you were in,

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 2>you were in, did you Yeah? But did it feel

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 2>like that or no?

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 5>From year to episode or season to season. Rather, I

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 5>didn't know how many I was going to do. Like

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 5>the first season, I think they guaranteed me six guest

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 5>star spots and I ended up doing like eleven, right, yeah,

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 5>and then each year it was the same thing until

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 5>the last season they made me irregular.

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 8>Wow.

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, But as far as episodes, I didn't know what

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.440
<v Speaker 4>I was doing. I mean, Ryan, God.

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 5>Bless him, called me in when I had to do

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.320
<v Speaker 5>the domestic violence episode. That one was a tough one,

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 5>and he called me in and he just asked me

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 5>if I was okay with it and if I would

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 5>be okay with it, and I'm like, absolutely I would.

0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 5>And he said of all the characters, he thought that

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 5>mine could handle it. So I mean that meant a lot. Yeah,

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 5>but then yeah, but then go from that to the

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 5>final season six with the transitioning, that was heavy, right. Yeah?

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.160

<v Speaker 2>We got right off tour and I went straight to Australia.

0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I don't know what I'm doing.

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm tired, right, And neither did they?

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, oh boy?

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah no, And then you got nominated twelve thirteen.

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Does it get old?

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.480
<v Speaker 5>It still feels pretend because it's like something I never

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 5>in my life.

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I'm not a spring chicken, but I didn't

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.240
<v Speaker 5>start acting till I was twenty seven. So for me,

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:41.760
<v Speaker 5>it's something I never thought was going to be an

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:48.199
<v Speaker 5>option or an opportunity, and to get that nominated into

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:51.399
<v Speaker 5>you know how people say it doesn't matter if you

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 5>want to lose the fact that you're nominated it's incredible,

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 5>that's totally true.

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 4>I mean, yeah, whatever, it'd be nice to win, but

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.720
<v Speaker 4>then you just got to do good or and get

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:01.120
<v Speaker 4>something better.

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:05.119
<v Speaker 1>That's right. No, they're not doing gooder in your world.

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 1>There's done the best.

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:12.080
<v Speaker 4>Baby.

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.879
<v Speaker 3>The fact that you didn't start acting till twenty seven,

0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it feels like you should have been acting

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.520
<v Speaker 3>for forever. But it also tracks and makes sense because

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 3>you're such an openly available and emotional and vulnerable human

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:35.439
<v Speaker 3>and an angel person that like, it makes sense how

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:40.360
<v Speaker 3>your acting comes through, your personality comes through and your

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 3>acting and your you know just again.

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Availability of like all of your emotions. But why And

0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.199
<v Speaker 1>I know you were back in the day doing all

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 1>your cool wrestling and bodybuilding and chuck pudding.

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 3>And goods And how did you turn How did you

0:19:55.840 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 3>get into the business.

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.880
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's crazy because in college I was a shot putter.

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:05.760
<v Speaker 5>That's why I got to go to college because I

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 5>got a scholarship and I would have probably never gone

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 5>to a four year college had I not i've been

0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 5>able to, I wouldn't have financially been able to.

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:19.360
<v Speaker 4>But I was competing.

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 5>I started competing in I started lifting weights in as

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:27.280
<v Speaker 5>early as eighth grade because I grew from five six

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:31.679
<v Speaker 5>to six to one in seven months. Oh yeah, and

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.400
<v Speaker 5>my back was so screwed up that I just started.

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 5>The coach there and my brother's, like one of my

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:39.959
<v Speaker 5>brothers said, you know, you got to start strengthening your

0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 5>back and all this stuff, because my legs were fine.

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 4>It's just the pain was all in my lower back. Right.

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 4>So all of my.

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:50.679
<v Speaker 5>Family had done sports in school, so and plus I

0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 5>love sports. So I did volleyball, basketball, and track through

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:59.119
<v Speaker 5>high school. And then I got offered several silly but

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.879
<v Speaker 5>I got offered like several scholarships for basketball because I

0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:04.720
<v Speaker 5>was a good ballplayer back then.

0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it must have been quite good, guys. I was

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 2>scholarship offers.

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:10.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, basketball and track scholarships.

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.879
<v Speaker 5>Some universities wanted me for both, like even like West

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 5>Point Stanford all them.

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 4>But I didn't want to run anymore. I hated running.

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.479
<v Speaker 5>I was fast, very fast for my size, but I

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 5>just thought I wanted to do well in.

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Track and field because shotput was my deal.

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 5>And it's funny because at that time, you know, you

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 5>set your goals for yourself, and as a kid, you

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 5>don't know if they're attainable until you keep either progressing

0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:46.959
<v Speaker 5>or declining. Right, And there wasn't women's basketball in the Olympics,

0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 5>and my goal was I wanted to make the Olympics.

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:53.920
<v Speaker 5>So I stuck to track and field, and I did

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 5>go to the Olympic Trials in eighty eight and ninety

0:21:56.320 --> 0:22:01.399
<v Speaker 5>two and I placed seven, six or seventh and eleven,

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.320
<v Speaker 5>so only the top four go to the Games.

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 4>But still had a blast of the trials.

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not a bad showing.

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.400
<v Speaker 5>One of the bodybuilders, I met Shirley Eeson, who I'll

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:15.679
<v Speaker 5>never forget. She and her husband, they lived in Bakersfield

0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:17.440
<v Speaker 5>and I was still in Fresno. I was working juvenile

0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 5>probation after college. And Shirley was a bodybuilder and I

0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:27.920
<v Speaker 5>would see her at her shows because I was doing

0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 5>the deadlifting stuff. And then she got on as an

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 5>alternate on American Gladiators, and so one day Shirley she

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:39.800
<v Speaker 5>played sky on American Gladiators, and so Shirley calls me,

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.760
<v Speaker 5>she said, Dot, they're putting together a new show and

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:45.200
<v Speaker 5>they're kind of like American Gladiators, but it's going to

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:49.640
<v Speaker 5>be medieval, and they're looking for more big, strong girls.

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 5>And I said, what the hell, I have nothing to lose.

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 4>So she gave me.

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 5>The casting lady at the time was Carol o'larry, who God,

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 5>I bless her. I don't know where she's at, but

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:04.360
<v Speaker 5>I'll never forget her, and so I called found out.

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 5>All the information went down to LA. The first day

0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.719
<v Speaker 5>was like physical agility and stuff, which for my size,

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:17.639
<v Speaker 5>I was probably sixty five and at that time I

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:20.119
<v Speaker 5>was still tall because before the authritis said, and I

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:23.680
<v Speaker 5>was still six ' four, and so I was really

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 5>good with the physical agility stuff. It went really well,

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:29.880
<v Speaker 5>and they said we'll call you by eight or eight

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 5>thirty tonight to come back tomorrow to do a cold read.

0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:36.640
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, what the hell's a cold read?

0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 5>And so I'm like, okay, it's warriors. Are we going

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:45.199
<v Speaker 5>to be reading in some place cold? That's all I

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.719
<v Speaker 5>could think of. I had no idea what it was.

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:50.360
<v Speaker 4>So they called that night.

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 5>They said, well, we'd like you to come in tomorrow

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:56.840
<v Speaker 5>for a cold read, and I said okay, because I

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.439
<v Speaker 5>didn't want to sound that naive, but I said, what

0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:02.439
<v Speaker 5>would somebody where did that? And they said, well, just

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 5>wear your best warrior outfit and I'm like, what the

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 5>hell is that?

0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 6>So I just wore some workout pants that I had

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 6>that had like zebra stripes and cut up a I

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 6>went and got a sweatshirt, cut it up and wore

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:17.280
<v Speaker 6>like a red tank top under it.

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, a very sexy picture, let me tell you, that's.

0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Right, definitely picturing.

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 1>What How did this cold read go?

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 4>The cold read it was?

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:30.439
<v Speaker 5>I was so nervous because we did it in I

0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:33.120
<v Speaker 5>think it was close to Hollywood Center Studios somewhere over there,

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 5>and it was in a big sound stage and I

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 5>couldn't see anybody behind this table.

0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 4>Because of the lights. Oh my god.

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 5>And I did a read with Carol O'Leary and they

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 5>had me do When I go in, they say, oh,

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:49.000
<v Speaker 5>the sides are on the table over there, and I said,

0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 5>oh okay, and I'm like they thank god there was

0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:54.119
<v Speaker 5>only one stack of papers because that explained to me

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 5>what the sides were.

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 4>And so I got the.

0:24:56.640 --> 0:25:00.240
<v Speaker 5>Sides and I memorized it and went in and then

0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:02.560
<v Speaker 5>did the cold read and then they had me do improv.

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:06.239
<v Speaker 5>So I did that and then I left and they

0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:10.440
<v Speaker 5>said we'll let you know. So cut to a couple

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 5>of weeks later, I'm getting all right. I was still

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 5>sleeping because I didn't have to. I worked at Juvenile Hall,

0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:20.880
<v Speaker 5>so I was sleeping in and the phone rings and

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 5>they said, hey, I'd like to speak to Don.

0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 4>I said, this is done, and I hear it. Oh Hi,

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:25.960
<v Speaker 4>this is Carol.

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 5>O'Leary, and you know how like you're a sleep and

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 5>you go, oh hi Carol, And I'm like, who the

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:33.520
<v Speaker 5>hell's Carol? And she goes, how would you like to

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:37.399
<v Speaker 5>be a warrior? And I said, oh my god, I

0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 5>just like I couldn't believe it. So then I wrote

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 5>down all the stuff I had to do, and they explained,

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 5>you know how you'll do a pilot and if the

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:49.680
<v Speaker 5>pilot sells, you know all that stuff and.

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Changed my life. I said, I'm in.

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Wow, camp in acting immediately, here's side, here's what a

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 2>cold read is, figure out and improv.

0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:04.920
<v Speaker 4>Wow. Wow, No, I just know in my heart of

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 4>hearts this is what I'm supposed to be doing.

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 2>When we watched season two, the it was a scene

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 2>with you and Matt and never Been Kissed where you

0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 2>start crying and m it's one of those things where

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 2>the ability and I think to Jenna's point of the

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 2>way you're so vulnerable, where you're playing this hard ass

0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:32.919
<v Speaker 2>coach right yelling at these boys, and that's what we expect.

0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 2>That's all the coach is going to be one dimensional.

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.680
<v Speaker 2>This is what we're getting. But you can hire Dot

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:42.480
<v Speaker 2>to play one dimensional character because it's not possible. I

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 2>think you we just had Romeian too, and the way

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:48.400
<v Speaker 2>you too, are similar in the way you wear your

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 2>heart on your sleeve and are just so open for

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 2>everyone all the time, and the way that I think

0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:58.320
<v Speaker 2>as a viewer because now when we're watching this, it's

0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:01.520
<v Speaker 2>been so long that it's the first time we're watching

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 2>it a little less biased or in it as we

0:27:04.520 --> 0:27:10.679
<v Speaker 2>were before, and less critical, yes yeah, and more just

0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 2>in awe of everyone and especially you the way stop

0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:19.200
<v Speaker 2>it because you you like, you've had some really intense,

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:25.639
<v Speaker 2>heavy storylines, and the way you seamlessly transitioned to comedy

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:31.840
<v Speaker 2>to drama just tears within a single episode. They were

0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:34.919
<v Speaker 2>handing you a grab bag of figure this out, you know,

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:39.159

<v Speaker 2>and even though I know, but I'm just excited to

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 2>watch you because I mean, so far wherever we're in

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:58.040
<v Speaker 2>season two, it's every episode you your storyline is more juicy,

<v Speaker 4>I know. You guys are so sweet. You know. It's like.

0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:14.679
<v Speaker 5>I've played every cop, biker, chick, coach, lesbian, prisoner cop,

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:19.239
<v Speaker 5>every billy badass that you could handle. And then to

0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:23.119
<v Speaker 5>get Beast, who's this tough character but then as vulnerable

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:26.880
<v Speaker 5>as she can be, she can be as strong as

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:27.399
<v Speaker 5>she can be.

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:29.560
<v Speaker 4>And it was like that.

0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:32.880
<v Speaker 5>It was it was honestly, it was some days we're

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:33.719
<v Speaker 5>just overwhelming.

0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 2>It was imagine, if you run into Brad in the

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:42.160
<v Speaker 2>grocery store again, can you.

0:28:42.160 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Just tell them to write some stuff for all three

0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 1>of us?

0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I actually have something all three of us could

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 5>actually do.

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's go, let's go get our friends, let's do it.

0:28:56.080 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Did you feel like the fame came from or were

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 3>you recognizable before?

0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 5>Like?

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 1>What was there a huge contract.

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:11.400
<v Speaker 5>You kids had set such a precedent in season one

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 5>that it was on fire. I can't even tell you

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 5>the response I got because of the audience that you

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 5>had all pulled in because I came in in season two,

0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 5>first episode that it was overwhelming, like the you know,

0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 5>back then Facebook was open to everybody, and I had

0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 5>like literally thousands of messages from people wow, and it

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 5>was like it was ridiculous.

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 4>I was like, oh, good god, this is going to

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 4>be big. It was already big, yeah.

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it did get bigger. It just got bigger.

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you have a huge part in the super

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Bowl episode, which is the most episode, the thriller.

0:29:53.920 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, the shuffle that was oh right, Oh my god,

0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 3>that's right.

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:07.120
<v Speaker 1>What is what is the feeling that Glee leaves you with.

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 5>So many gifts from you know, jobs being offered, but

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:16.160
<v Speaker 5>more importantly like you kids, I love you, and I

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 5>feel like I've known you my whole life, and and

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 5>and like the opportunity to you know, it's like the

0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:30.480
<v Speaker 5>jobs I had done prior to Glee obviously nothing even

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 5>Emmy nomination worth Wait what am I saying nothing worthy

0:30:37.120 --> 0:30:39.680
<v Speaker 5>of an Emmy nomination? Which I mean, I'm not saying

0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 5>it was bad work, but I'm not. I'm saying it

0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 5>was something that wasn't as acknowledged as what we did.

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:49.720
<v Speaker 5>And I say we as in all of us on

0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:54.760
<v Speaker 5>Glee because it's it changed a lot of lives and

0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 5>I think.

0:30:56.920 --> 0:31:01.520
<v Speaker 4>Hopefully a lot mostly for the better. Yeah, and just

0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:03.360
