0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>auditioned and then they offered it. That's the best of

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>both worlds. They didn't know who I was. Actually not

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the auditioning part. It's better if you just get the offer, right, Yeah,

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>it is, it is. It's nice when those come in.

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>It's all right. But they gotta sweatch you out, don't they.

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>They just gotta see the jump through. Were there any

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.800

<v Speaker 1>Although I mean it's it was a long time ago.

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.880

<v Speaker 1>It was really entertaining. Oh yeah, one of your lines

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>in season five, the episode We Just Broke Down was

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.119
<v Speaker 1>quite a tongue twister. Do you remember it? A Bail Bill,

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Hey Bai, I remember. I don't know why it was

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>so why I had you know, do you remember, Hey Bail,

<v Speaker 1>that toats the hay Bales. Hey Bail Bill, the guy

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.160

<v Speaker 1>it's like, I go, come on, boyd, you've got you've

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>got this one one one nice line. And it was, man,

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>why is that so hard? Of course? You you're you're

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 1>sitting in my little cubic old trailer kind of a

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>thing and it going over to go that's easy. Just

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>think about what you're saying. It's hay Bales and Bill,

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and then but it comes out, heyb all the baby. Yeah,

0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>so it's impossible to say, you know, hey Bill Bill,

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you know he hey Bill, say Hey Bell Bill? Yeah,

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Hey do know Hey Bell Bill? The guy that teams

<v Speaker 1>You know that guy, That guy know, Hey bail Bill,

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the guy that tells me something some sort of some

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of a guffuffle at the grog booth. Was it

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the grog Booth? I just even remember the grock booth.

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>It was some sort of thing in the grock Booth.

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>And then he built himself a fort out of hay

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>bales hiding in it. Than it was some sort of

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>some sort of you know, some juicy town gossip about

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>hey Bail Bill. Did you watch the episode before he

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>came on? Oh? Did I? Did I watch that episode

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>before before I came on? Yes? No, okay, I mean

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I watched it several times before and I put it

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>on my reel and all that kind of jazz. So

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>oh sure, But I just because I remember that line,

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>because I had such a hard time with it, right, Sure,

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>those are the ones. Remember, I still sided in my mind,

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>going I'll get it right. You know, It's only like

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, a dozen or so years ago, but it's

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>like it still kind of haunts me a little bit.

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>We had a nice little scene together. Yeah, it was.

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>It was nice. Was that the hay bill bill? That

<v Speaker 1>you got nailed, otherwise they wouldn't have moved on. Yeah,

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>crossing crossing paths, right, I think I was hauling beverages

<v Speaker 1>or something. I was hauling something. It was. It was

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.279
<v Speaker 1>some sort of a we were It was like a

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of a ren faish kind of a field to it.

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I think I was even kind of in kind of

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>rent fair, kind of garb sure Renaissance for sure. Yeah, yeah,

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>yeah that's what it was. Yeah, I remember that and

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>uh yeah. So You've had a lot of roles in

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 1>some pretty iconic shows. Do you have a favorite role

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>that you've done, a favorite role that I've done? Um, well,

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I had a I had. I had a role in

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>in Las in Vegas. I actually did again. I did

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>like two roles, two different characters in another show called

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Las Vegas. And I had a scene with with James

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Kahn where I was kind of easy used car salesman.

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Tell me about your experience with James Kahn. Uh. It

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>was it was really, it was really really cool. I

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>mean he was like I was kind of awestruck. I mean,

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you get to work with people and who are who

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>you've seen for years, you know, like Sally and Liz

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and but this this scene with with with James and I.

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Usually I tend to just keep my distance from people because,

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, especially you know, celebrity type people, because I

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>don't want to bother anybody. I don't get anybody's girl.

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>But so I just sort of like waiting my trailer

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and wait to one called and then and then try

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>to be as plaist as possible. But he was just

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>he was just very cool and so relaxed and really

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>really easy and um but I remember kind of like

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times just kind of like pinching myself, going, wow,

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>that's that's sunny. She's right there, he's right there. But

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm being all of your ivy leagues soup yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>And and it was awesome and it's and it's odd.

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Later on I ended up I was in I've been

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>an an improv company for years and years and years,

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:32.680
<v Speaker 1>and I one of his sons, Alex, I was in

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>our is in our group was one of our young

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 1>improvisers and so um James came to see uh one

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>of our shows, one of our improv shows. I was

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>a group called impro Theater and we do long form

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.839
<v Speaker 1>improvised plays and we were doing a show at the

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Gary Marshall and Alex was Alex was I think he

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>was doing tech for us. I think he was doing

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>lights or sound or both, and and and and James

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 1>came to see the show and he took us all

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.959
<v Speaker 1>out for We all went out for beer next door

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.440
<v Speaker 1>and he bought us burger and a beer and and

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 1>was just telling us stories. But again, it's like the

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 1>coolest it's it's cool working with these people. But the

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>coolest part is like when the cameras aren't are off

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and they're just like hanging out and talking and they

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>get you get to hear stories. I remember him just

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>it was just some of the stories that that would

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>tell that he would tell. It was like, can I

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>tell like Brando stories? Yeah, a little bit, you know

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>about on that setting, but he's done so much stuff

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.560
<v Speaker 1>that it was like it's almost like I can't even

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's all just and it's all just like things

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that go by in passing that are. So you were

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>also the voice of the wildly popular game World of Warcraft.

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>You do a voice? Now, do you do comic cons

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>because you're positive? No, I haven't, but you know, the

<v Speaker 1>He was working construction and I was his boss and

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>he had just found out that they were going to

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>have that they were going to have was it triplets

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:22.320
<v Speaker 1>because they yeah, they just found out that they were

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>going to have multiple So he was asking me for

<v Speaker 1>rais and I was basically declined give him. What was

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>So what was your experience like working with myle I've

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>heard he's a giant pain. He was? He was? He

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>was really sweet. No, such a such a horrible person, No,

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 1>he was. He was really he was really kind and

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>generous and really humble. It still is, I guess, a

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>really sweet guy, unless he's turned horrible or something. He's

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 1>as I recall, he was. He was really really nice.

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 1>You know who was really great was when I worked

0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 1>on when I worked on Gilmour Girls. Um, I mean

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 1>that was very enjoyable all the way around, but it

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>was it was I think it was when I was

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>working on Sinnamon's Wake in season one and I met

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Melissa McCarthy and she was I I fell in love

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 1>with her immediately. She's like, um, so humble and so

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>um appreciative. And I think this was really because it's

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 1>really kind of like Gilmore Girls is really where she

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of like launched is all sure, I mean that's

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of where she where she kind of people sort

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>of isn't it amazing to you, because it's amazing to

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>me that it took another series for her to get

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>before she really started getting noticed. Yeah you know, I

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>mean she did all of this spectacular work in Gilmore Girls,

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and that didn't give her a film career. Yeah, that

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 1>like that wasn't enough, right, it wasn't in years of

0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.679
<v Speaker 1>just hitting it out of the park. Yeah, you know,

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 1>nobody else can do like the comedy Chops's She's amazing.

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I would I would watch I would watch her do laundry, right,

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 1>so would I. I would watch her du laundry. And

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 1>her husband Ben, they just seemed like, this is like this,

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I would like to go on a camping trip with

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>those guys. Let's just go on a road trip with him.

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>They're just like But when when I met her on

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Gilmore Girls, she just like she came right up to

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>me and she said, this is so great, this is

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>so great. I feel so lucky, I feel so blessed

0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to be here. And she was so humble and gracious

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and and and excited. It was. She was absolutely delightful.

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 1>And I remember that a dear friend of mine had

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 1>had auditioned for the same role as Suki had also

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>auditioned for Suki and um and so, and I really

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>wanted her to get it, and she didn't get it,

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 1>and Melissa got it. And then it's like I came

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>away after that going, Okay, well, if Tracy didn't get it,

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad she did because I just thought that she

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>was just just such a delightful person. And you know

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Melissa didn't, you know that was Melissa didn't get the

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>original role. The original role went to Alex Borstein. Oh

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>really in the pilot. Alex Borstein appears in the pilot

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 1>as Drella, the harpist in the Dragon Flow or the

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Dragonfly in or not the Dragonflight. It was the the

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 1>other one. What do they call it? The cheez There

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you go, the original inn right, the independence in Yeah, right,

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>So that was and then uh, Alex was on and

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Living Color and they wouldn't let her out of her

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>contract to do the series, so they had to recast

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the role and they took obviously it wasn't a harpist anymore.

0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 1>It became the chef. Yeah. Yeah. And then and then

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Melissa McCarthy got her opportunity in there. She wasn't amazing

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.479
<v Speaker 1>how much talent there is out there that's not even working. Yeah,

0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not a question of like, oh nobody see people

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>always say I can't imagine anybody else in that role.

0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Nobody else could have played that. Yeah, there's lots of

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.720
<v Speaker 1>people that could have played There are and and and

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>in many different interesting ways that no one's ever thought

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>of and would be maybe even better than what you saw,

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you know. So I don't I don't buy into there's

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 1>tons of great actors, tons of that. There just aren't

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 1>enough parts, you know. That's the thing that well, one

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>thing that is one thing that it's nice is that

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>although it's confusing, there's so much content now, right, there's

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 1>so much content there are there are a lot of

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of opportunities, but of course there's

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 1>there's never enough, no matter how much more there is,

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 1>it seems like there's there's never quite enough for all

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the all the talent that there is, um so much. Yeah,

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I think outside of the big agencies, it's really hard

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 1>to get into one of these shows, right, you know

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 1>how the packaging world is and yeah, yeah, how much

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 1>pressure there is on these producers that are represented by

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 1>that agency. I mean they you know, the actors the producers,

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the writers, below the line talent is all represented by

0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the same agency and they make those deals and everybody

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>else in the business is locked out of any of

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:09.879
<v Speaker 1>those shows. And there's so many of them. There's like

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 1>five shows going right, Yeah, And it's all those film

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 1>people that that came over and they migrated into the

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 1>television space. Yeah, you see all this great television and

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 1>so it's so fractionalized at this point, you know. And

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 1>it's like that's the thing, so much, so much of

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the there's so much more really terrific content on television now,

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Like a lot of a lot of the film actors

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.200
<v Speaker 1>have thought, I want to do that, right, I want

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to I want to do that that looks that looks great,

0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that looks challenging, And I mean, who can blame them?

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 1>You know? Yeah, just because there's more content doesn't mean

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>it's easy to get a job anymore. Right, It's actually harder. Yeah,

0:17:51.480 --> 0:18:00.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's harder. All right. So it's that time again, Floyd,

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:06.800
