0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the podcast Pleasure Having you. We have a

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>lot to talk about let's start off by talking about

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>how you got this part. How'd you get the role?

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, like a lot of actors, I auditioned,

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 2>but this series, as you know, was different in that

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 2>the words needed to be spat out so unbelievably rapid fire.

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 2>But also this guy like the douchiest of the douchees

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>who shows up at this party, like you know, just

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>going on and on about tortola and whatever else, Like

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 2>it needed to be even faster than that. So I

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>prided myself as being someone who could spit out words

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 2>the rapid fire. But this was a challenge. But so

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I remember in the edition was first up, and I

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 2>went in there and I just I don't know that

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>the planets aligned, and I got all these like just

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>these these thick chunks of dialogue out rapid fire, And honestly,

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that was it, and you know, channeled some

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of that annoying, snobby douchebag that that might live in me.

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, uh, you played Trip Kavanaugh. We met him at

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Logan's launch party. Was very memorable that now, when you

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>got your lines, did it did it intimidate you? Because

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.799
<v Speaker 1>you were you were there, there were these long descriptions

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>about your house and Tortsola was so much dialogue, Yeah,

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit.

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean I mean it's it's both an opportunity and like, oh,

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I gotta like actually spit this stuff out. So I

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 2>mean the words were so beautiful because they're just hideous, like,

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, who is this jerk? Right?

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 2>And and the reaction to the other actors just only

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 2>made it even juicier. So I think mostly this number

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>of years ago, I saw it as just more fun

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.239
<v Speaker 2>than you could possibly have doing anything else. Uh, and

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 2>to be paid for it, I mean, what a joy?

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 3>M hm.

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>And so the speed of the diagalogue dialogue is usually

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>what gets people. What was your what was your method

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>for conquering that? You just you just ran it to death.

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>You just get it over and over and you just.

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Now this repetition like at that point with that level

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>of speed and also that many words, to me, everyone's

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>got their own. It's just muscle memory. So if I

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 2>can like my mouth to remember these things, then I

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>can kind of go on autopilot and just deal with

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>the actors in front of me while my mouth is

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>spitting out this ridiculousness, which I suspect there is a

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>disconnection and the character like this, he's not like you know,

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 2>checking in to see whether his audience is okay or

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>like whether they're you know, like connected in their hearts.

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 2>He just spit. I think that's what worked for me.

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>So what do you remember about filming that day? What

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>was your top It's the top thing that pops in

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>y as.

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 2>A great group of actors. Everyone was really because, like

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, you'll have on a series like that, a

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 2>lot of scenes with two people, three people, but like

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 2>the energy of the background performers and the party scenario,

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of people, kind of comic characters coming in

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 2>and out. There was energy there which was really exciting.

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Also just sort of anecdotally, then Senator Obama was kind

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 2>of on the scenes. I remember that there was there

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:37.239
<v Speaker 2>was conversations around who this new person was, who would

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 2>buzzibly be president one day? That sticks out for me,

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>But mostly like the the well oiled machine at that

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 2>point of making great television consistently and quickly, like you

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 2>could you could tell that everyone knew what the hell

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 2>they were doing, happy to be there. It was a

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 2>good environment.

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Was it was it different from other shows that you did?

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>The environment yeah, oh for sure. Well I tell you what,

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>how I was to compare them, compare them?

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so all right, let's let's spill the tea. Like,

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 2>so let's say you've got a series regular who is

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 2>just not a happy person, but they've booked this series

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 2>regular job with and with that comes an expectation that

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 2>they should be happy, right, Like you're shot out at

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 2>two pm, you got your health insurance, like, smile, right,

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.679
<v Speaker 2>But they're still miserable, and so they're trying to control

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 2>their environment. And you know, there's a lot of that

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>can go around. If like the one, two, three in

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the call sheet are nasty and not having a good

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 2>time of it, it really trickles down. It effects affect

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 2>everyone else, right, So but here you at a situation

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 2>where that that wasn't the case, Like there was just

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of supportive energy. Everyone is really kind.

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I've been on sets, particularly TV sets, where you're working

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 2>with someone for a full week, fifteen hour days and

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>they don't even introduce themselves, right, it wasn't wasn't the

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 2>case here.

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Like it was a good group really. So so you

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>worked on shows where where the leads were wrapped at

0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>two pm.

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, wow, because it's you know, like season twenty seven

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 2>or like whatever it.

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Is, right, the executive.

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Cruisers and then whatever. They kind of show up with

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 2>a little twinkle in their eye and they say their

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>line and they go home and.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh, now I know what you're talking about. I know

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>what you're talking about. Man, I know what you're talking about. Yeah,

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>all right, so you know your character trips seem to

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 1>be oblivious that Logan and Roy weren't into your story. Yeah,

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>about your house in Toortle, How is it working with

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Alexis and Matt and those scenes so.

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Great because I mean, I think it shows in the

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 2>final cut like that they held all my ridiculous yammering

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 2>with a beautiful container of awkwardness that made me look

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:51.919
<v Speaker 2>even more ridiculous, which was terrific. So and I think,

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, the generosity, So you're in a situation like

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 2>that and the other actor who's just walking on for

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 2>a day, right, has a ton of dialogue you can

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 2>if you have an understanding of like the overall picture

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 2>and how like if everyone's good in the show, we

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 2>all look good to try to offer something generously to

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>that actor to help them get through all of this dialogue.

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 2>They didn't have to do that, but they did. And

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 2>then again, I think what shows in the final cut

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 2>is them just the internal eye rolls and the awkwardness

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 2>around this idiot.

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>So your last role was sixteen years ago.

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I stepped away.

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Why did you step away?

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 2>You know? The writer's strike hapen, the last writer's strike

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 2>hap And I was sort of left without a paycheck

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>and without an ego stroke. And I kind of realized, oh, like,

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 2>this is really just a paycheck and an ego stroke

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 2>for me. So I started working around that time on

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>the first Obama campaign and just sort of helping staff

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 2>and volunteers express their unique truth about the candidate and

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of spread the message. And that was a year

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 2>and a half two year process. I started leaning more

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 2>into martial arts, internal arts that I've done for fifteen

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>years at that point.

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>What kind of martial arts, what style.

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Shell and kung fu? I've done sort of kung fu proper,

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 2>krav magalo boxing, taiji twan, but mostly it went to

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>internal arts, meditation sheng that'th work that sort of thing?

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>And is there a studio that you dojo that you

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 1>go to in the area?

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you know, I go to a bunch. But you know,

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>for eleven discipleship of this the Shellon monk that I

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 2>was working with and no kidding, now what I do

<v Speaker 1>big time casting person.

<v Speaker 2>That's right. And she cast the reboot the Gilmore Girls.

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:25.320

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Does she really Reesa Brayman Garcia cast the reboot.

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 2>And Jamie Rodowski, who cast me in My who cast

<v Speaker 2>me as Trip in My episode of Gilmore Girls. She

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.079
<v Speaker 2>ended up working at our studio for a number of

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 2>years and she she also cast the reboot with with Reesa.

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah so recent. I started in twenty twelve and it's

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 2>been going strong ever since.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.439
<v Speaker 1>How many students do you have?

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>You know? It sort of fluctuates as we've eight week

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 2>classes and ongoing classes from like two four hundred depending

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 2>on the month.

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's fantastic, but it's.

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh, it's it's beautiful. I it's to be deeply in

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 2>the work of human connection and it's it's so much

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 2>more than just book a job for the actors at

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 2>our studio, and it's a community. It's all sorts of

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 2>great things.

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 1>You teach kids too, Yeah, we just started teaching kids. Yeah,

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you got to deal with their parents.

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 2>That's the trick.

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>There's amazing to do that too. And I had a

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Saturday class for kids and I my ex girlfriend is

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>great acting teacher, great actress. I said, you do this

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Saturday thing. I can't deal with the parents because.

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 2>You set something up right. But then sorry, like we

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 2>can't make it because I slept in or we got

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.959
<v Speaker 2>to go to soccer. Like the scheduling, it's like it's

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 2>it's a nightmare.

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>But my daughter is a star. Do you not see that? Right?

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 2>That's right? You know what you know? What she needs

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:39.840
<v Speaker 2>is audition technive. That's what she needs.

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I heard it. I heard it everywhere. I couldn't take

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 1>it anymore. We drove from Florida. This girl is a star.

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you see it? Uh? Oh man sad? All right.

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>So if there any actors listening who are just starting

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the careers, what's your first piece of advice you would

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 1>give to them.

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think less about booking the job and really

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 2>get in right relationship to why you're doing it. I

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 2>mean to me, And this sort of sounds like sacriligious

0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.440
<v Speaker 2>or like I'm killing someone's dream, But there's nothing that

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 2>the industry can give you that will be more important

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 2>and deeper than what the art can give you. That

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>level of human connection that you get to experience multiple

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 2>times a day, that's the actual goal of it. And

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.199
<v Speaker 2>if you focus on that, expanding yourself as a human being,

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, leaning into connection and vulnerability and presence, and

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>if you can learn to love that for its own sake,

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Then the industry has, you know, the tendency to come

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 2>back around and be attracted to you, but too lost.

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to book work. You start spinning your tail.

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>You totally agree. Yeah, you got to be in it

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>for the right reasons, for the love of the craft.

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Which sounds ridiculous, Like it sounds so like something like

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Trip would say, But that's it, Like that's the audition's secret,

0:11:58.440 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 2>right there, h it is.

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Do you think there are more opportunities for actors now

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>because of all the streaming content available? I don't. I agree,

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there are either.

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Right, Like yeah, like it's and its it's antithetical to

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 2>like what what you're you're seeing because you think, oh,

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 2>there's more opportunity, there's there's not. But there's more opportunity

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 2>with the technology that's available to you to be an artist,

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 2>to be an actor, to write your own stuff, shoot

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 2>your own stuff, be someone who is a creative person.

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 2>But the industry proper, I think, is contracting and shifting

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 2>and it's uh classic industrial model needs needs some work,

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Uh So, in your opinion, how can an actor stand

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>out against hundreds of others who are going or an audition.

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, don't mean to get all like woo

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 2>woo on you, but I truly believe that every human

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 2>being is unique indeed to the universe. So leaning all

0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 2>the way in uh to your unique emotional more experience

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 2>of that world of the play, then invariably your expression

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 2>of the art will be unique and so like by definition,

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 2>will stand out from others. Whether whether it's something that

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 2>they want or not. That's different because we start monetizing

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 2>things that it gets different. But to me, that's that's

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.199
<v Speaker 2>the work of it. Consistently, it is.

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 1>It is so true, and so many young actors get

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 1>caught up in the the fallacy that imitating Brando or

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.559
<v Speaker 1>imitating John Maclovitch is going to get them a job,

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and it just isn't because everybody's going to see it

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to go just shake their head and go,

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.719
<v Speaker 1>oh god, yeah.

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 2>But the nature of the industry is that, like it's

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 2>meant to commoditize and process art. Right, So it'll say,

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 2>but we want a John Malkovich type, but the actor

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 2>can't hear that. They have to be uniquely them and

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 2>when they are, oh yeah, that's exactly what we were

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 2>looking for.

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>No, it's not.

0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 2>But but you just someone offered a unique experience that

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 2>was connected in true full and that's why you.

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Gotta be yourself. Well, I want I want acting teacher

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 1>head in New York. You say, if you're gonna play

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 1>yourself all the time, you better be pretty interesting. But

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I do think it's true. You have to

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 1>tap into your own uniqueness. It's the only way to

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 1>differentiate yourself because there's nobody like you. We're gonna play

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>rapid fire. You ready, You're under no pressure to answer

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 1>these quickly. How do you like your coffee?

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:44.200

<v Speaker 1>so much. You know what, we have a clip. I

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>think before we go, we got to see a clip

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:34.000

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.560
<v Speaker 2>True, hey man, glad you can make it. Mommywethell right,

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 2>And this is my girlfriend Ry Gomo.

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Nice to meet, just back from Tortola. He's building an

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 3>incredible house.

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Then, wow, congratulations, Well we'll see Construction on the island

0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 2>is such a joke. I mean, try getting anyone to

0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 2>meet a schedule.

0:16:59.000 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've heard that.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Plus, my property is totally isolated. Which would be

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.960
<v Speaker 2>great once the house is built. But it's a construction nightmare.

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 2>It turns out v bridge that accesses my land can't

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 2>take the way to the truck carring the supplies. We

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 2>have to offload the supplies onto a smaller vehicle. That

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.159
<v Speaker 2>necessitiated two four clips. No, this is covered in the

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 2>estimate course.

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.119
<v Speaker 1>That was brilliant work. How many takes did you have

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 1>to do? You have to do all kinds of coverage too,

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't you.

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a lot of coverage there, But how many takes?

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't many? Just got a move right, So.

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you just kind of came out and nailed it though,

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:29.359
<v Speaker 1>didn't you.

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean I remember stumbling a little bit and like

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I needed it to be game day, right, Like I

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 2>stumbled a little bit in the rehearsal. I needed the

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 2>thing to roll for me to actually step into it.

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 2>But but yeah, and you can see those actors like

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.399
<v Speaker 2>really supporting it, which is really lovely.

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, there's a lot there was a fun scene. Love

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.680
<v Speaker 1>those scenes. Anyway, Thank you so much for your time
