He's someone you might recognize from All My Children, 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.760 melrose Place, a little film called Something balld in a 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:44.279 guest role in Gilmore Girls Season four. Welcome Colin. How 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:45.040 are you doing? Pal? 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.640 I'm doing well, Scott. Good to see you. 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.640 Good, good good. Emily and Laurel I and Peyton? What 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.400 are we think in here? Emily invites Laurel I to 0:00:54.440 --> 0:01:00.280 an auction for her society, Matrons League and Antiques. Shell 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.320 wants to go. There's an auction, there's all kinds of 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.759 things happening. John Hamm shows up. It's total in Sanity's 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.680 drinking wine. I didn't know John Hamm was a wine 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.520 drinker that that early in his career. So she meets 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:18.280 Peyton at Emily's event. Should she have been more cautious 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.160 about pursuing this turkey? He turns out to be a 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:26.479 real dud? Was this a careless oversight? Colin? In your estimation? Please? 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:26.679 No? 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.759 Come on, it's John Ham, dude, Like, why would you 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.800 How could you say no to John Ham? 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.880 It was a huge day. No, you just say they. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.520 Madmen and Don Draper. So it's cool to see him 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:44.959 in early version of him before he got his big break. 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.160 But no, man, how could you say no to to 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.680 to charming Peyton slash John Ham? 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:57.440 I was named Peyton? What Peyton Sheridan Peyton Shell? Peyton 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:05.040 wasn't I can't remember something Peyton Sherwood yeacked at anyway, Uh. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:08.239 I don't believe her though, I from how he met 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.800 her at the bar. I mean he's got his jet, 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:15.000 invited her to David Bowie. I mean, I I have 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:20.400 a sneaking suspicion that he wasn't the drip that she 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:21.720 made him sound out to be. 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.480 I think you think he tanked it on purpose because 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:25.640 he didn't want to see her again. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.680 I don't know. Maybe it was because she talked so fast. 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.919 I mean, that's sacrilegious, really to say something like that. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.880 You better be careful, man. I know, no, but you 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.760 know it's a it's a it's a possibility. But I 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.600 think I think by the way she look they just 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.560 they didn't connect. I kind of believed her. 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.760 Yeah, I mean she she has so much charisma. She 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:55.200 is more of a I mean, how can you not 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:59.200 fall in love with Loralai? Obviously she's got she's charming, 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:06.280 she's beautiful, she's she's witty, she's cute, endearing, and I 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.520 could see where Peyton probably being a little more of 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.680 a upper crust kind of a stiff where it wouldn't 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.280 necessarily work out. But here's the thing, you know, there's 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.640 the physical attraction. So obviously they look good together. And 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.919 I think this is what happens in relationships, where you 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:28.080 physically fall for someone and you kind of overlook some 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.920 of the things that maybe are red flags in the beginning, 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.560 but because you're so attracted to them, you overlook them, 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.800 and then before you know it, you're in a relationship 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:41.920 physically and not speaking from experience or anything, and you're like, 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.760 you wake up one day and you're like, maybe I 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.840 really don't know this person as well as I thought 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.480 I did. Even though they are beautiful and I'm attracted 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.400 to them, some of the things that are coming out 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:53.720 of their mouth are not so attractive. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.880 You know what. She was just too smart for him. 0:03:55.920 --> 0:04:00.360 He couldn't care. Probably all right, So Laura I cantinues 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.240 to fight for her independence from Emily and Richard's world. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:11.080 Do you think this reassures why she separates herself from 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:12.240 their community? 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.400 You know it was. The episode raised a really good point, 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:23.000 and I really liked the way that Loralai brought up that, look, mom, dad, 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.719 it's nothing that I'm doing intentionally to hurt you guys. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.080 I'm just I went on a date, Like why are 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.760 you putting all of your baggage onto me? And I 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:39.239 think that's a very common thing where parents have maybe 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.480 certain expectations about what we do and what they think. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:43.119 We should be doing. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.560 But I honestly I thought it was I mean, I 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.240 could see both ways. I think it was unfair that 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.480 they put that kind of onus on Lauraai when she 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.479 was just trying to go on a date. But I 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:59.960 could also see in certain circles where there's a protocol, 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:04.239 like her father said. And what I did like about 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:09.600 what her father said was your mother drinks gets her 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.880 tea first, and she's used to getting her tea first. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.200 And I don't understand her world. You may not understand 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:20.520 her world, but because she's my wife, I am damn 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.480 well going to make sure that my wife gets her 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.760 tea first, And I think that is what maybe is 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.320 missing in a lot of relationships. 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.600 Do you think Laura Lean was being selfish by not 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.159 considering Emily in the first place. 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:39.800 I think her parents should have have talked to her 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.440 at dinner when she first asks for the phone number. 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.480 I think her mom should have said, by the way, 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.240 if you do go out with him, please keep this 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:54.159 in mind that his mom is in my social circle, 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.640 and so please, whatever you do, just be polite and 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.920 know that if if anything go sideways or whatever, this 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:04.880 may have a detrimental effect. Yeah. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:09.800 But wouldn't Laura I already assume that because Peyton was 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:10.880 on we know. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.640 What happens when you assume. 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.760 I don't know. That's a tight little circle there with 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:25.000 the people that she invited, those are all our friends. 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.840 Did your parents ever place expectations on you that you 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.559 thought were unrealistic. 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.440 Not only every day twenty four to seven? Yeah? Yeah? 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.320 And did they communicate them clearly to you or were 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:40.200 they just assumed? 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.760 Oh? No, they were very specific about what they expected 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:50.800 in terms of grades and behavior and social behavior and 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.120 even you know, behavior at the dinner table. Sure. Yeah, 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.680 yeah mm hmm, yeah, yep. And you have kids, right, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.039 uh huh, I I have a son I do. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.720 And do you feel that you guys have open communication 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:11.480 and where you can clearly oh god? Yet absolutely yeah, yeah, 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:12.360 they're you know, kids. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.800 Yeah, you have to teach him, yeah, and then they 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.840 and he's teaching us, I think more than we're teaching him. 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.800 But I think some parents only teach when they get 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.600 angry at their kids after they've already done something wrong. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.800 And it's like, well, I'm a kid. I didn't know 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.640 or I kind of like, yeah, you know, don't yell 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.040 at me, teach me, like right exactly. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:42.520 But anyway, all right, so yeah, so she she made 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:46.640 a simple decision. She didn't happen. Why waste time, not 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:51.040 going to force it. We're done the just causes the 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.480 usual loo kerfuffle over at the Emily's house. All right, 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.880 now we have Dwaite. What'd you think of this guy 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.960 asking her to you know, the water lawn and water 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:06.440 the African geraniums whatever they were called, go inside the house. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.560 Spent thirty minutes a day doing this for this guy. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:10.440 Didn't even what do you think of this guy's a 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.760 little too much of an imposition, would you have done it? Oh? 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:19.760 Man? I felt for her because I guess I feel 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.000 like I've been in that situation where you reluctantly say 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.680 yes to something and then they just keep asking for more. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:30.080 And a certain point when it came to the going 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:34.360 inside the house to water the plans or when he 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.360 then asked, I need you to water the lawn three 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:43.840 times a day instead of ten by myself on my own, 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:48.120 I probably would have said, you know, listen, dude, this 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.560 is a little ridiculous. But you know, Rory being as 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.240 sweet as he is, that's why it's great to have. 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.760 That's why it started people around you who are like, 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:57.920 you know what, let's just do this. 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.480 Just think of the lie ability inside his house though, 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.520 I mean they didn't sign away, he didn't sign a 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.880 waiver again well nowadays, yeah, you know, right, exactly right, 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.000 something happens to somebody inside the house and it's trouble 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.720 but good stuff. And I think you know the setup 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.360 for that was just to get just to get soaked, 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.520 run into h Jess and have Jess come in and 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:23.920 have that scene. 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.520 And I loved how he turned the sprinkler back on 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.600 after he heard that. Who was the other kid that 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.440 was going to come home and help Dean. 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:34.360 Dean the boyfriend. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:39.920 Yeah, yeah, and uh, I guess yeah, I thought that 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.520 was Milo. Then Amilia and I had to go watch 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.160 the credits or at the beginning rewatch it to make 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.920 to see if it really was him. But yeah, it's 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.440 really cool to see actors get their start on Gilmore Girls. 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.400 I mean, Gilmore Girls was one of the first major 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.280 shows that I ever was on and just blessed to 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.800 have been a part of it. And was that the 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.199 fan event that you and I saw each other again? 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.040 Was that like two months ago in New Milford, which 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.240 is great. So just very honored and blessed to be 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.920 a part of the Gilmore Girls community. I will say though, 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:21.840 I was curious to see if John Ham appeared in 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.319 the next episode because she agreed to go on the 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.560 next date with him. So I was thinking that, Okay, 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.559 well let's see the David Bowie concert and then it 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.839 was nothing like John hamm and Peyton was. It was 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.719 just an afterthought, like what was he even brought up? 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.880 Peyton Sanders Peyton s Yeah, yeah, they can't go to 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.560 a Boie concert thing. Imagine the royalty payment that I 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.280 have to make for Franny Bowie song. 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.640 Yeah, but it was just like it was very I 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.120 was very curious, why just all of a sudden. 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.600 Yeah, don't tease me with Bowie and then and then 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.559 right exactly. I didn't like that at all because I 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.120 knew there wasn't going to be another I knew there 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:00.760 wasn't going to be a Bowie. So you don't tease 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.199 a Bowie concert and then deny people of Boi concert 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:08.240 that that in itself, I believe that's actionable and I'm 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.880 consulting my attorney anyway. You know, you think Dwight fits in. 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.360 He's a quirky kind of guy, right, he kind of 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:18.040 fits right in there. And uh, you know, Bett liberally 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:24.480 like giving him loreleized cell number. Thanks a lot. But 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.520 you know that's that's the charm of the show, right 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.480 m hm. You know who stole the whole episode for 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.640 me was that giant fish at the end when when 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.360 it was just like listening to his ex wife's abusive 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.240 message and ran out of there, and then the camera 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.200 pans to the aquarium and you just see that giant 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:46.520 well I don't know what kind of fish it was, 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:51.599 but it was just like staring at us, you know, like, geez. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:57.480 What I like the I like the cuckoo person like 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:04.960 that was like eight o'clock at the awayssince. 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.720 I've never seen a fish steal a scene that was 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:12.559 a scene stealing fish actually rewounded a couple of times 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.760 and cracked up just what I did with my mornings. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.199 This is what it's come to. But I'll tell you, 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.319 if it's going to come to something, it's a good 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:20.959 thing to have this show to make you laugh. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:21.160 Man. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.000 I liked your scene in the beginning when you were 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.880 complaining about the lactating lady at the table. 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.679 You know, that was odd. That is so. And here's 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.600 people ask me this question all the time, you know, 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:37.040 are you like Luke in this circumstance. No, not even close. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:43.319 And I have actually intervened in public in situations where 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:48.960 somebody is giving a woman who's breastfeeding her child a 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:53.760 hard time about it, and I I'm I've stepped in 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:58.160 and say, yo, back off, stop it, stop stressing her out, 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.480 and stop stressing her baby out. Just walk. You know, 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:06.400 it really really pisses me off when people, you know, 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.880 get all offended, and it's. 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.760 Like, I agree, that just makes refer to your your performance. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.400 I thought you were No, no, I know, but but 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.800 I'm answering the fan question, like, are you like, look 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.280 in this situation, it was uncomfortable to watch that. That's 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.160 the character, that's how he feels. Fine, but I don't 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.080 feel that way in any way, shape or form. You know, 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.920 you got to feed your kid. You gotta feed your kid. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.880 I mean it's the most you know, natural, natural, natural 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:35.760 thing you could do, is feed your child. I mean, 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.040 how dare anybody try to interrupt that? 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.480 You know, I mean just go to Europe and you 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:41.560 see it all over the place. 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.720 Oh yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't get why people 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.960 are so. I don't get it. Yeah, providing nourishment to 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.760 a baby angers people. Okay, yeah, that's weird. 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.920 I'm offended. That's well, that's my own people say, oh 0:13:58.040 --> 0:13:59.240 that I'm offended. 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.720 Well, yeah, that's your problem. Okay. So now laurel I 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.120 and Roy are back for Friday night dinner after the 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:12.800 Peyton debacle. Emily is predictably cold with laurel I now 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.000 because all her hopes are dashed of maybe traveling in 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:21.160 Peyton's private jets to Maui as a as an extended family. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:26.080 For some birthdays or weddings, who knows. Laura Lai actually 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.520 apologizes and she explains that she had a bad time, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:35.120 but she's willing to go to the Bowie concert. What 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.640 do you think about that? You think she should have 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.000 stood her ground or. 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:45.040 I think she did the right thing. Yeah again, I 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:46.200 think her parents should have. 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.160 Prefaced take one for the team before. 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:54.280 Even going on the date. Listen, Yeah, this is maybe 0:14:54.320 --> 0:15:00.320 not a normal situation. Just please be aware of like 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.880 what happens with the dates so that h this was 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.560 avoided from the get go. But I did think it 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.320 was sweet. And I think this is what happens in 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:16.200 relationships where people dig into whether they think they are 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.200 right and they will not acquiesce and they'll just dig 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.680 their heels in. And this is where I think it 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.400 can cause major riffs in relationships and families. Whereas I 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.000 think Loralai shared with us a very important lesson that 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.520 if you really care about the people and your family, 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:37.360 that sometimes you may have to choose between being right 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:42.120 and doing something that is loving for the people that 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:42.920 you care about. 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:49.040 Yeah, well said taking one for the team, Right, She 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.560 took one for the team. Good for her, she did, 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.400 and she had a great last line, very funny line 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.200 she takes. She says, Yeah, what was her last line 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:03.520 to tell are to borrow a sweater for the concert? 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.480 Borrow Rory's sweater for the concert because she liked Rory's 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.560 blue sweater and she should wear blue more often, you know, 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:10.960 in the first time they come in. 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.280 What was the last she said? I think it was 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.600 a David Bowie lyric at the very end when she 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.840 grabs round, control the major town, control the major top. 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:32.880 Yeah. Colin, let's talk about you a little bit. You're 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.560 in the season four episode seventeen Girls in bikinis, boys 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.560 doing the Twist, and we had you on a few 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.200 years ago. Talk about it. Yeah, And you've had a 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.800 lot of roles in TV shows. Is this one of 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:51.160 your fondest memories of being on set for a day? Absolutely. 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.080 I was new to Hollywood. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.640 I think I was maybe twenty seven or twenty eight 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.240 years old, and my agent called me up that morning 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.640 and said, Hey, I'm sending you an audition for Gilmore Girls. 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.600 It's down in I think it was like Manhattan Beach 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:12.480 or Redondo, And he said, the audition is this morning, 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.800 and if you get the role, you're working today. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.880 No, I quickly printed a lunch. Oh yeah. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.000 So I was like, oh yeah, thanks a lot for 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.200 the heads up. But that's how TV and film works. 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.919 It works very quickly, and as you know, and so 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.040 I printed out the sides and I jumped in, you know, shower, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.120 jumped in my car and driving down from West Hollywood 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.640 to to I think it was Redondo, you know, looking 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.159 trying to memorize my lines while I'm like making sure 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.000 I'm not running through red lights. And finally got down 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.240 there and I walked into where they had rented this 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.960 little motel right on the beach, and so they brought 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:52.119 us up to where the casting was and there was like, 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.159 I don't know, it must have been like fifteen or 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.439 twenty other guys. So we're all sitting there waiting, and 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.600 one by one they brought us in and audition came 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.399 back out. And then it was one of those moments 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.439 where I mean it was it was magical because the 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.560 casting director comes out and she says, okay, everyone can 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:13.480 leave except for Colin. I was like, all right, amazing. 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:13.640 This is cool. 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.720 And then she comes up and says, hey, Colin, thanks 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.200 so much for your audition. You know you were great. 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.600 But we have one more actor that's on his way 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.399 over here, so if you wouldn't mind just sticking around. 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.080 And I'm like, oh, I'm sitting there waiting, And it 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.199 must have been like fifteen or twenty minutes, and finally 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:34.600 this guy walks in. And I had been studying with 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:38.359 this acting coach named Chris Fields. And in Chris Field's 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.880 acting class, there was this guy named Dan and he 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:45.960 was like this more experienced, really good looking guy, super confident, 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.000 like everyone wanted to be like Dan in acting class. 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.600 And so when Dan then Dan walks in and I'm 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.040 just like, oh, I mean, I might as well leave 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:59.119 right now. Here's Dan. He's gonna smoke this audition and 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.000 I might as well just like head back to West Hollywood. 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.960 So he's like, hey, man, what's going on. I'm like, hey, Dan, 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.640 good to see you. So he goes in audition, comes 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.760 back out, and you know, he's got a smile on 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:14.040 his face when he comes back out and sits down, 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.400 and then she comes back out and says, all right, Dan, 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:22.240 thanks so much, Colin, you can go to wardrobe. And 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:27.040 I was like, holy crap, man, like so it was 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.480 it was pretty special and just to be on that, 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.919 you know, obviously a hit show. So early on in 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.439 my career, I'd come from soap opera, but that was 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.359 my first I had done Law and Order SVU. I 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.600 played a mail escort. But other than other than that, 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:45.400 not so much on my resume. 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:49.840 And how did Dan end up doing? How's he been doing? 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:51.240 Did he did he book some stuff? 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.040 You know? I I think I saw him in an 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.720 episode of something else, but I have I've lost touch 0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:00.520 with him. But uh yeah, I'm not I'm not quite sure. 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.040 I'm sure he's I'm sure he's doing all right. 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.959 Yeah, Well that's a that's a great story. Yeah, you 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:08.480 had there, that was stressful for you? 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.919 Oh yeah, I mean, how was your audition for Gilmore Girls? 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:15.560 Though? Pretty easy, breezy. You know, it was just to 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.720 be a guest star in the pilot. And I just 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.159 went in and did a scene. And you know, I 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.159 was supposed to prep two scenes, but there was a 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.119 type all on the sides that said duke on the 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:28.760 other scene. So I didn't prep it and they told 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.000 me to prep it outside five minutes, came back and 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.720 did it. Left. I wasn't. I felt a good vibe 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:37.840 in the room, right, you know, you know, you feel 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:41.000 the vibe or not right. Usually it's like pretty awkward 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.080 sometimes you know, and it's like, you know, it's not right. Yep. 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:48.000 But this one felt really right. The part felt really right. Whatever. 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:51.960 But I hadn't invested everything in it. I had three 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.600 auditions that day. I was running around town. I was 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:57.280 on the west side. I had to get back to 0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:59.080 I was teaching an acting class. So I had to 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.439 get back and I do the second audition, i'd do 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:04.199 the third audition. I had to drive all the way 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.280 across town and bumper to bumper traffic. I was going 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:09.879 to be late, so I I, you know, I didn't 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:12.879 really you know, I was just like I went in 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.840 there and I was a little impatient with him. I 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:17.080 was cool with him, but I was like, all right, 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:18.600 let's go. I gotta do this. I gotta get out 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:18.800 of here. 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.120 And so that was the audition that did they bring 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:24.000 you back to tests? 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:27.200 No, no, no, it was just that was the only 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.359 audition I got on the back door. And then you know, 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.960 worked out on set when we shot the pilot, and 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.520 then they offered two episodes, and they offered four episodes, 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.960 and we just you know, held firm and said just 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:40.480 give us a deal. And they gave us a deal, 0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:46.200 so awesome. Bought a bing, bought a boom, right, yeah, yeah, 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:47.920 one of those things. One of those things. 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:52.959 Do you miss the the in person auditions and doing that? 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:56.560 I do, Yeah, I do, I really really do. I 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.879 just I just did an audition that I you know, 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:03.040 you put on tape. Now. Yeah, so the first time, 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.040 and I've been doing this for a couple of years, 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:07.239 right that this has been happening for for you know, 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:10.520 five six, seven years now that you're you're doing it 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:14.560 on your cell phone. And but this last one was 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:20.199 for a Sydney Sweeney film and so I, you know, 0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.560 I set up the camera and I, you know, I 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:24.639 put the wardrobe on, I did the whole thing. But 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:29.000 you know, you can do good work. It doesn't really matter, right, 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.399 They just need to see the work. But I don't know. 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:34.920 And in a lot of ways, it's it's far more 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.280 convenient you get you don't A big chunk of your 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:42.040 day isn't taken. And uh, you know, driving and parking 0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:44.600 and sitting because it's always a long walk from the 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:48.520 parking lot. It's one hundred degrees. 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:52.720 You have to park at Warner Brothers Lot seven and then. 0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:57.360 Crush right, take a taxi down bar Ham. 0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:03.160 And then walk through you know, giant studios to get 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:05.240 to the one little casting office. 0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:08.680
