<v Speaker 1>little something about Cameron. He's an actor. He worked in

<v Speaker 1>television for most of his Career's career began in the

<v Speaker 1>continued to work on TV, appearing in Ritzolian Isles, American Housewives,

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>That did ten episodes of the ABC show Mistress, and

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>more recently on an episode of Fuller House. In an

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>episode of the sx FX show Min's MC, you were

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>a badass biker? Oh wow, No, no, not at all.

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 2>No, I was an ATF agent.

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha? Oh yeah, all right, square tell us how you

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 1>got the role on Gilbour Girls.

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>How I got the role on Gilmore Girls. Well, first of.

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 4>All, his name is Tucker Culbertson, and I'm actually shocked

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 4>that I got this part on Gilmore Girls because obviously

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 4>the most important thing about the show, well not the

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 4>most important thing, but one of the great things about

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 4>the show is everyone speaks very clearly and distinctly, and

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 4>it's just rapid, rap it, rapid. That's my biggest weakness

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 4>is speaking clearly. And so I came in and I

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 4>can't believe I actually got the part because in the

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 4>in the callback, I said, Tucker Colbertson, who came up

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 4>with that name? I think I said it kind of

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 4>like that whoever came up with the name was in

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 4>the room, because everything got really quiet and cold, and

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 4>I was like, oh, you know that that moment where

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 4>you were like I should just leave.

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>That was I do know that moment.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 4>But I did it anyway, and for some reason, they

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 4>they they hired me.

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>So I was fucky, Well, you made an indelible impression

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>on h On Rory, that is for sure. So we

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>meet you at Yale. Yes, you're filling in for Richard's

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>econ class. Yes, the roy is taken by your looks

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and charm.

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>That's about Yeah.

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:57.679
<v Speaker 1>So what was it like playing the role? Do you

0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>enjoy it? Oh?

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:00.080
<v Speaker 2>I loved it.

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 4>I loved it, But I do have to throw out

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 4>a little story beforehand, before before filming. Well no, I

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 4>guess this was actually after filming, but before they aired it.

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 4>But they took this picture of me, a still of

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 4>me on set, and it's the one they used on

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 4>IMDb for the episode. That's a picture of me. It's

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 4>not a great picture. It's not very flattering. And I

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 4>wandered onto a message board.

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 2>This is pre Reddit.

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 4>This is pre like a bunch of Internet was the

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 4>Internet was the Internet, but it wasn't like their Facebook

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 4>wasn't around yet, and they had that picture up to

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 4>like promote the episode, and everyone on the on the

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 4>message board said, this guy is ugly.

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>What's happening?

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 4>What like the alien? And I and so I chimed in,

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, this is not a great picture. He is

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.119
<v Speaker 4>pretty ugly in this picture, but to be fair, it's

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 4>me and I think I film better maybe in motion, Like,

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 4>please watch the episode it's amazing. Alexis is amazing. It's

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 4>a really, really, really great episode. So I didn't take

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 4>it personally because how would they know that. I was

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 4>like lurking, and I don't get that.

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I felt. I mean, obviously, you're not ugly, you're a

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>You're an attractive young fella.

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Well.

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Enough enough that Rory was interested. But yeah, yeah, I mean, so.

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>What was it like working with Alexis because those scenes

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>were really terrifically played.

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.279
<v Speaker 2>On Oh thank you.

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 4>She was such a delight, Like, I'm sure you've worked

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 4>on shows where the ones and two's aren't always welcoming,

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 4>or maybe this was the seventh season the episode that

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 4>I was, and by that time, sometimes they're just tired

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 4>of being there.

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>It's so true. Yes, it's the exhaustion of.

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 4>It's just kind of like, oh, another new guy to

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 4>come in. Nice, It's like, okay, yet another person that's

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 4>not going to be here for a day. I'm not

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 4>going to expend any energy. She couldn't have been more

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 4>opposite of that.

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>She was so.

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 4>Kind and welcoming and right away wanting to know if

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to run it a couple of times, and

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 4>so that was the first day like when we meet

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 4>in the classroom.

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 2>The second day, when we meet in the in the.

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 4>Bookshop, she was even more Like I felt even more

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 4>a part of the family. That was the number one

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 4>thing that I felt coming down to this set. And

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 4>like I said, being on other sets where I'm just

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 4>a day player, you know, it's it's just one day

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 4>on there and there. There's one in particular, and I'm

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 4>not naming any names, but the one. I had a

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 4>scene with both one and two, and the one was awesome,

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 4>and when we were doing light checks or moving the camera,

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.600
<v Speaker 4>they were talking to me about Pixar movies and we

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 4>were just like making small talk and she made me.

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Feel really comfortable.

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 4>But the one, I'm sorry, but the two didn't want

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 4>me talking in between takes. They had a different process.

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.159
<v Speaker 4>It's there, it's their show. But this was probably seven

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 4>or eight on their number season of them, and they

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 4>didn't want they didn't you know, they didn't welcome me there.

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 4>So I just shut up and kind of did my job.

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 4>But with Alexus, totally different. She was just a delight.

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:38.559
<v Speaker 4>It was really really fun.

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it's different on different shows. I know what

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>you mean. I've been through that too. Yeah where you

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>know where, especially on a big hit show if you're

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:56.039
<v Speaker 1>just guesting. Yeah, And you know, I've had similar experiences.

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Some have been great, some have been like, oh, I

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>have too much energy, I am too excited to be

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:06.679
<v Speaker 1>here and it's tiring them out. So calm down, Scott,

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean.

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 4>You know, I got I tried the one time I tried.

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know one time to be less Tom Cruise

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 4>because I was like, you're really smiling. I'm so happy

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 4>to be there. They're like, yeah, you just need to

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 4>that's not what the scene is.

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Right right, act like you've been there both.

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I know it's hard to do. It's hard to do

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>when you get.

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 2>It's so fun.

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>It's fun. It's fun. Yeah. You know. I remember going

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>into those uh sitcom uh stages and rehearsing and just

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>having so much fun. And you know, I wasn't jaded yet,

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, it's oh, it's just a job.

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I've got all this money, and I've

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>got this house, and I've got you know, all these

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>responsibilities and I want to get back to my life

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to be here and you know,

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>this kind of attitude that that inevitably creeps in for

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, but it's just yeah, for us,

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just fresh and exciting and you want to do

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>great work, so we do. You know. It's it's like

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and you're nervous. There's a nervousness part about it, like

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 1>am I going to be able to pull this off? Right?

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>You know? Right? Because I remember going on Seinfeld it

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>was like I was terrified. I was excited. I knew

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.439
<v Speaker 1>I could do it, but it was like, wow, once

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 1>once we started getting into the filming part of it

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>on the friday, it was like, this is serious business.

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, you don't want to be the one to

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 4>mess it up because.

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, yeah, I know, I know how that is. Man,

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>that's that's all right. So so this is season seven.

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Did you know the series before you auditioned?

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. I watched a bunch before before filming.

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Hey look, man, I'm not gonna take it personally. It

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 1>was really nice talking we're gonna end this.

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely, you know, it's it's it was.

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>It was always the kind of an obscure show, right.

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 3>It's such a loyal following, right, But but if it's

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 3>not your cup of tea, it's not your cup of tea.

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.679
<v Speaker 4>Well, I fell in love with the show, and did

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 4>I did become uh started watching it avidly, and.

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I just.

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 4>It's such it was such a touchstone type of show,

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 4>like for the people that discovered it, it was so

0:09:55.840 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 4>special and I think maybe there this kind of ownership

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 4>of like not everybody knows this, but the people that

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.719
<v Speaker 4>do that, the people that get it, like just get it.

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:12.719
<v Speaker 4>And there's there's this whole new generation that's discovering Gilmore Girls.

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 4>I've talked to so many friends with daughters with sons

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 4>that who are twelve thirteen watching it on Netflix and

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 4>they love.

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.439
<v Speaker 2>It, like it it's.

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 4>Universal, but it really is like it's the connection obviously

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 4>between the two of them, but like just the family atmosphere,

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 4>and it.

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Really speaks to everyone.

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 4>There's just that connection and those relationships and it's a

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 4>really lovely There's so many shows that are kind of.

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Challenging or rough or.

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Edgy, dark edgy, You're dark, and this didn't need that

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 4>to really connect with people, and it's it was great

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 4>just to be an even small part of that.

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, amazing, what a delightful harmless, h hysterically funny

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>show with heart will do you know? Yeah, it's not

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.079
<v Speaker 1>rocket science. You know, it's like, you know, give the

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>people what they want, and this is what they need

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>and they want, you know, revisited Golden Age. Yeah, so

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you're from Michigan. I am what what part of Michigan?

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.319
<v Speaker 2>I see a hat back there? Is that Missouri or

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:26.959
<v Speaker 2>is that a Michigan.

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a Michigan hat. I did a convention in uh Nova,

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Michigan outside. Yeah, I know, the people are so fantastic

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and they gave lots and hats and you know, I've

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.559
<v Speaker 1>watched plenty of Michigan football and TV. I appreciate it.

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, I went to the other school. I went to

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Michigan State.

0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's okay, you're spartan, but for me, I was

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:54.680
<v Speaker 4>I was sparty.

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I was the mascot.

0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Is that right?

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes? So I kind of lead green and white and yeah,

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 2>that was really really fun.

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 4>So Michigan and I are for enemies, but it's fine,

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 4>Like I I appreciate how great that school is.

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and where where's Michigan State located?

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 4>Michigan State's right in the middle in East Lansing. So

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 4>Lansing is the capital. Of course, if you're from Michigan,

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 4>show on your hand on a podcast, no one can

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 4>see that.

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:31.319
<v Speaker 2>But I'm from a small town called Midland.

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.679
<v Speaker 4>Which is about it's right in the middle, right, it's

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 4>right there in the name Midland.

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 1>So so when did you know you wanted to be

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>an actor?

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 4>By the way, I always did school plays, let's say,

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 4>always loved to be the lead all the way through

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 4>junior high and through high school. And I actually went

0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 4>to State on a journalism scholarship because I was like,

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 4>I like sports journalism. I really like sports. I want

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 4>to get into sport journalism and then to be to

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 4>be totally honest, I watched a few good Men and

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 4>I watched Tom Cruise, and I was like, I could

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 4>do that. Not in not in a backhanded compliment, I

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 4>was like, I want to do that.

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 2>I watched him do that. I was I, Yes, that's it, that's.

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 4>What I want to do. And I took like one

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.199
<v Speaker 4>class in journalism. I was like, I don't want to

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 4>do this, So I just went all in on on

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:32.200
<v Speaker 4>film and acting.

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And did that take you to New York? Did it

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>take you to la to study?

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Actually we made some films at Michigan State.

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:44.680
<v Speaker 4>And then the people that I made the films with

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 4>moved out to LA and so I moved in with

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 4>one of them, but started making connections. We had like

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:58.319
<v Speaker 4>a little community already out here, and they've all gone

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 4>on and one of them ran DC for a while,

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.679
<v Speaker 4>and they've all done amazing things all over the place.

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>But one of them ran d C Studios.

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Or like d oh oh d C, like the like

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 2>the d CU. They are you for the while?

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So what are you working on these days?

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 2>What am I working on these days?

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Well?

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 4>I wanted first of all, I wanted to thank you

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 4>for inviting me to this. I wanted to thank you

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 4>for inviting me to this because it made me, uh

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 4>tick stock.

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 2>What am I working on right now? What am I

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 2>working on these days? What? What's my why right now?

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Being here?

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 4>Because it's tough, Like you know, it's not easy after

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 4>the pandemic and after the strike, this town is really

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 4>really difficult. But I found my gratitude thinking about this.

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 4>So you, your invitation brought me to a place of

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm so lucky. We are so lucky. Even though this

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 4>is tough, the tough has all been worth it because,

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 4>like we were saying, it's fun. But last week I

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 4>had an audition in person, and it's the second one

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 4>that I've had since the pandemic started. And I had

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 4>to change into a suit in the car, and back

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 4>when I was a younger actor, I would do that

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 4>five times a day. I don't know if you remember

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 4>those days. And I didn't appreciate it. Then I thought,

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 4>this is kind of a burden, this is kind of

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 4>but it took me back there and I was so

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 4>excited and energized and I was having and I had

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 4>so much fun in this audition and I walked out

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 4>not worrying about whether I booked.

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 1>It or not. Can you say what it was for?

0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 4>It's for Kathy Bates, is Matt Locke? Okay, they were amazing.

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 4>It was just I was so I was trying not

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 4>to like vibrate in the room. I was just trying

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 4>to be centered and present and it was just really,

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 4>really fun. And it took me back to again to

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 4>be grateful for these opportunities that we have out here.

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 4>And what I'm working on right now is I'm currently

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 4>in an acting class that I'm helping coordinate with this

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 4>amazing coach that I love, and I've done it since COVID,

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 4>since the pandemic, and we had this core of amazing actors,

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 4>and we're starting to take take the scenes and characters

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 4>that we've come up with and starting to film them

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 4>because I found that creating stuff with people that I

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 4>love is like my happy place. It's always been that way,

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 4>and that's kind of bringing back to Gilmore Girls. That's

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 4>how I felt when I came onto the set. I

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 4>could tell everybody there was a family, and there was

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 4>a shorthand and and everyone really loved each other and

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 4>watching all of you create something together was a beautiful thing,

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:16.399
<v Speaker 4>and just to being a part of that was a

0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 4>wonderful thing. So what I'm working on right now is

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 4>trying to create content with my friends just for us,

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 4>even if it never gets shown anywhere, but just that

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 4>that action of creating things, filming things, writing and editing

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 4>and just the entire process. I'm just in love with

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.680
<v Speaker 4>all of it. And that's kind of what I'm up to.

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm auditioning. I'm auditioning, but I'm not putting.

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:44.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm having as much fun as I can with that.

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 4>But trying to create things just to like keep the

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 4>fires burning right now. That's that's where I'm at.

0:17:53.720 --> 0:18:06.240
<v Speaker 1>That sounds terrific. Good luck with all of that. We're

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 1>going to play rapid fire right now. You're ready.

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm ready.

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't mean you have to be rapid.

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll try to be thoughtful a little bit.

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.320

<v Speaker 4>they recommend. So what would Luke recommend? Do you think

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 2>A roommate, Well, I really do believe that.

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I would really want to just want right,

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:20.840
<v Speaker 4>who would I want to be?

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I would want to be?

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Come on, really truly come on.

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 2>My second My second.

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:30.520
<v Speaker 4>Answer is I did think about this is bo Belleville

0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:35.359
<v Speaker 4>played by Nick Offerman, because I know Nick and his

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.639
<v Speaker 4>character is hilarious. He is amazing and I got to

0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:42.360
<v Speaker 4>work in his wood shop right as I know he's

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:46.400
<v Speaker 4>got a who he's hilarious, but his his character.

0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I just rewatched.

0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 4>His his scenes there, his episodes of Only Kyle Bo's.

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 2>He seems like a classy dude.

0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.399
<v Speaker 1>So you're so you're tossing me off and you're.

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 4>No, no, maybe that's what you said the three of us,

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:08.080
<v Speaker 4>that's what you said. I said, you said definitely Luke.

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>If and then you brought up ball so Luke.

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 4>Kicked me out. I'm just saying, I don't want to

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 4>know it is Luke. I want to live with Luke.

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Something in your life you are all in on.

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.679
<v Speaker 3>Something or someone something, well you could it could be

0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.479
<v Speaker 3>you know, something in your life you are all in

0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.240
<v Speaker 3>on that could include It would be my wife.

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, my wife, she's amazing.

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Cameron, thank you for your time, good luck with everything.

0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:40.400
<v Speaker 1>It's been a pleasure.

0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:43.520
<v Speaker 2>And I ask you a question, Yes, what have.

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:47.639
<v Speaker 4>You learned from watching all of the watching the shows? Like,

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 4>what what have you taken from from watching this?

0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've never seen them before, so this is my

0:21:54.920 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>first experience seeing them. Just like when they get it

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 1>right in the writer's room, which is a lot of

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:10.119
<v Speaker 1>the time, it's a remarkably high percentage of sort of

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:18.959
<v Speaker 1>perfect great episodes. It just knocks me out how clever

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 1>and how witty and how dramatic and how funny and

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 1>engaging this show really is. But it really is. You know,

0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>this is really such a writer's medium. I mean, they

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:37.040
<v Speaker 1>are giving us these great this great dialogue and these

0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:42.480
<v Speaker 1>great situations that like I have been on several shows,

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.400
<v Speaker 1>whether as a guest star or as a series regular,

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:50.679
<v Speaker 1>where you're just thrilled by being in the situations that

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you're being put in. You can't wait to get to

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the set and like I get to act this, and

0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:00.719
<v Speaker 1>the better the situation you're in, the less you have

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>to act at all. And it's just the real joy

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 1>of it. And I've found that most of the episodes

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:12.720
<v Speaker 1>that I have seen and we've done, you know, we're

0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:16.640
<v Speaker 1>almost done season seven. We're more than halfway through season seven.

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 1>We're almost finished our first round. We're gonna probably do

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 1>a second round. But just how many of the actors

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 1>must have felt the same way that I did, that

0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:32.440
<v Speaker 1>you get to come in and be in these situations

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:37.480
<v Speaker 1>which are so wacky and zany and dramatically relevant and

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 1>comedic and just wonderful stuff. And I get it now.

0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I get why the fan base is so dedicated. I

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 1>get why they're so loyal. I get why people I mean,

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I do conventions and they they all say to a person,

0:23:57.720 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 1>I have it on twenty four to seven. I have

0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 1>it on when I'm going to sleep. I have it

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:02.439
<v Speaker 1>all when I wake up. I have it all when

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:04.199
<v Speaker 1>I come home. More I have it on at the

0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:07.280
<v Speaker 1>office when I'm cleaning it and I can't even hear it,

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 1>but I just want to know it's there. Yeah, it's like,

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, the characters in that show. The writing is

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 1>so good, and the characters on that show have become

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 1>parts of people's families, and that's how they view us

0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and see us and treat us. And it's a wonderful

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 1>experience meeting these fans because they invite you into their heart.

0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean they literally just grab on and hug you

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:41.439
<v Speaker 1>and thank you. And it's a wonderful experience. And the

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:44.800
<v Speaker 1>older I get, the better the experiences are because there's

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>more and more people, and like you said, they're younger

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>and younger. I get seven year old boys and girls

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 1>coming up and they're dressed as Luke and they and

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 1>they have all of these comments and compliments and just

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, the teenage girls start to tremble and they

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:04.080
<v Speaker 1>start to cry and they get overwhelmed. It's it's just

0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 1>an amazing experience. This show has been such an incredible gift.

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:12.440
<v Speaker 1>And thank you for asking me the question, because I've

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I've had some really good experiences because I was involved

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.959
<v Speaker 1>in other shows, but nothing comes close to this. Nothing

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:24.159
<v Speaker 1>comes close to this. This show means so much to

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.359
<v Speaker 1>so many people around the world, and everywhere I am

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 1>in the world, I get recognized and people come up

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and they and they whatever language they're speaking, and they're

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 1>really trying to speak English. I understand exactly what they're saying,

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and I actually say the words for them and they

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 1>go yes, yes, yes, yeah, and amazing. It's just an

0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 1>amazing healing show for the world. And you know, it's

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 1>like Netflix is out there churning out these episodes and

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 1>making them available. It's like medicine to the to the masses,

0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:00.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, and it's it's having a very positive effect

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 1>on people.

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:03.200
<v Speaker 2>And I think we need more Gilmore girls.

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think we do. I think it's a crazy

0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 1>world out there. It's getting crazier all the time all

0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the time, and you know, one of the antidotes is

0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:15.120
<v Speaker 1>sit and watch a couple episodes of Gilmore Girls, You're

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:18.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna feel better. So it's just kind of I knew

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 1>the show would be I knew the show would be

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:25.679
<v Speaker 1>a hit. I didn't know how big a hit, but

0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought, this is going to run five years. I

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:32.239
<v Speaker 1>remember talking to Lauren Amy Sheir and Palladina through a

0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:38.120
<v Speaker 1>wonderful Christmas party every year at her house, and we

0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:41.199
<v Speaker 1>were lucky enough to be included in that. And she had,

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, people from previous shows she'd done and friends,

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and it was just a wonderful mix of people, very

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 1>eclectic mix of people, wonderful people. And I remember Lauren

0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and I in the backyard talking about the show, and

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, we were predict how long it would go,

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and I remember saying five years. I was wrong. It

0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:08.679
<v Speaker 1>was seven, and it probably could have been seventeen. Yeah,

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:14.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, it could have still been going. But the

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 1>fact that it's grown into this sort of culturally significant,

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you know show, and the characters in the show, and

0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the town and the you know, the ecosystem that the

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:33.280
<v Speaker 1>show has has provided woven into the fabric of American culture,

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:40.399
<v Speaker 1>and it's just a really nice feeling. It's a nice

0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:44.840
<v Speaker 1>feeling to have been, you know, a guy who was

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 1>sleeping in his car, you know, hoping to meet people,

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, had a theater resume, and I think

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I can do this. And then one day, you know,

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 1>walking down the street, you know, a bunch of years

0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 1>later and people getting all, uh, you know, hot under

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the collar, and can I have your autograph? And can

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 1>we take a selfie with you? And it's and they

0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 1>share these experiences that they've had and and you know,

0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:14.640
<v Speaker 1>very personal and deep experiences that they've had because they

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:18.359
<v Speaker 1>consider you the family members, right, trust, trusted people, right,

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:22.679
<v Speaker 1>but watching the show just just how great it is,

0:28:22.760 --> 0:28:27.239
<v Speaker 1>and uh, sometimes they you know, it's not perfect. And

0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I think when it goes off the rails, it really

0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:34.679
<v Speaker 1>goes off the rails because the bar is so high. Yeah,

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:38.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. And it's like that hasn't

0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 1>happened very often, but it happened once once or twice,

0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and that was shocking to see. But but it's just

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it's the reality of network television and the demands put

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:57.080
<v Speaker 1>on a writing staff to churn out. At that time,

0:28:57.160 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>it was twenty four to twenty two episodes. A year

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 1>of our long television. That's a lot of content, and

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 1>it's nine months of this and it's just so hard

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to do, and nobody really does it anymore. Do the

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 1>ten episodes and you're out, and it's still a grueling schedule,

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>but it's not like a nine month schedule where you

0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 1>literally have to take a month off and just sleep

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and you can't really even think about going on a

0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:25.960
<v Speaker 1>vacation until you've slept for a month. And then you

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like a person again. Right, You get out of

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:32.959
<v Speaker 1>that actor's head and that actor's body, and then if

0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you're doing it, if you're lucky enough to have a

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 1>film on your hiatus, then you're just like, you know,

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 1>you're no downtime, there's no downtime. Yeah. So I just

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:46.600
<v Speaker 1>blown away by how clever the show is and how

0:29:46.640 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 1>well done it is and how they did it with dialogue. Anyway, listen,

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:57.680

0:29:57.920 --> 0:30:00.800
