And 164 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: you know, knew me from something. Wow. Um. So you 165 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: went on to start in several movies, uh, and TV 166 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: series mel Melrose Places, Client List, Razolian Isles um, and 167 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: you filmed Something Barroed, which kind of a big head right. 168 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, So I mean, I know, we we 169 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: talked about a little bit in the beginning, but what 170 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: happened to the sequel? So there there's a sequel to 171 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: the there's it's a book series, something Borrowed, something Blue, 172 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: and in the end of Something Borrowed, they actually show 173 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: the preview for Something Blue, so left everyone thinking, all right, well, 174 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: this is going to happen. And it was right around 175 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: the time when romantic comedies at the box office we're 176 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: just kind of like curtailing and the traditional romantic comedy, 177 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: something like How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days 178 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: or Pretty Woman, Something Borrowed. Um, what happened was two 179 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: weeks after Something Borrowed came out, Um, it was the 180 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: movie with Kristen Wig, Bridesmaids came and that movie, like 181 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: almost overnight kind of redefined what the romantic comedy was. 182 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: And so our movie kind of, I mean it did, 183 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: it did good, but Bride'smaids just exploded and within after 184 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: coming out after Something Borrowed, all the attention was on 185 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: bride'smaid So then the romantic comedy started to just kind 186 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: of it started to go a little more subversive and 187 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: a little more black comedy, kind of more realistic, more 188 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: of the non traditional boy needs girl and are they 189 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: going to get together? Um, it was kind of more 190 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: of the I don't know INDI version of romantic comedies. 191 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: And then couple that with the explosion of Netflix, where 192 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: everyone started to get these gigantic TVs in their homes 193 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: and so people stopped going to the movie theater as much. 194 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: The largest demographic of movie goers is actually seventeen year 195 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: old boys. So that's why all of these tent pole 196 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: superhero movies do so well theaters, like Marvel and you know, 197 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: Superman and all this stuff, spider Man and the romantic 198 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: comedy as we know it has really kind of shifted 199 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: more over to like Hallmark and g a C. Where 200 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: there the traditional you know, boy meets girl kind of model. UM. 201 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: And it's it's a shame because I stn't think there's 202 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: there's definitely an audience for the kinds of romantic comedies 203 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: that you know, people we grew up watching. UM. And 204 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: not to say that you know, the new type of 205 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: romantic comedy is is not um, you know, not viable, 206 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: because obviously it is. It just definitely UM that they 207 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: were afraid with a huge budget like you kid Hudson 208 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: and John Krasinski's and like the salaries. I mean, it 209 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: almost became a question of, well, are we going to 210 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: make our money back because the amount of box office 211 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: scorers now is just not what it used to be 212 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: So now you have a series called Coffee with Colin 213 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: on Facebook or or is it YouTube?

And then I 303 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: was across the street for the World Trade Center. I 304 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: had done two acting roles, one Law and Order episode 305 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: SV and then uh, an episode of the show called 306 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: the Street Right to get into bed with Jenny Garth 307 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: in my underwear, and uh, you know, two small acting 308 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: credits to my name. And then those planes hit the 309 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: World Trade Center that morning. I I was living across 310 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: street from the Trade centers. I went to my window 311 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: because I could hear the syrens and the ambulances, and 312 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: I literally looked up and saw the flames and people 313 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: jumping out of the towers and it was horrendous. And 314 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: I took my video camera and I started video videoing everything. 315 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: And then the second plane hit and that's when I knew, like, 316 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: all right, something's not right. So I ran outside and um, 317 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: this tower fell down. I was running down the street 318 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: and it was two weeks before I could get back 319 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: into my apartment. And when I did, it looked like 320 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: a bomb had blown up. My windows were blown in 321 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: and there's all this debris everywhere, and I had ten 322 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: minutes to grab whenever I could, put it to a 323 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: suitcase and get out of there. And that's when I 324 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: decided to know what I'm gonna go to. I think 325 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Hollywood to pursue this dream, you know, 326 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: this close to meeting my maker. And that was one 327 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: of the things that I write about in my book 328 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: about you know, I think we take life for granted, 329 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: and I think we let a lot of the our 330 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 1: own self doubts stop us from going after what we 331 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: really want to. And you know, I loved acting, but 332 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: the idea of going out to Hollywood to be a 333 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: professional actor, that was just kind of like, it didn't 334 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: seem real. I was like, I mean Leonardo DiCaprio and 335 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 1: Ben Affleck and Matt Dame like I would love that, 336 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: but and Tom Cruise, I was like, I can never 337 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: do that. But after that day on nine eleven, I 338 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 1: was like, you know what if I was stuck up 339 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: at those in those towers, and you know, God or 340 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: someone said, hey, Colin from giving you a second chance 341 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: of life, what are you gonna do with it?
