Oh 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.240 my gosh, what was it like to be a co star. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.720 It was it was it was you guys know what 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.720 it's like. You come in, there's an amazing I was 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.520 looking on. I literally had an IMDb myself and I 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.400 was like, was I on the Kilmer? I was like, 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.959 oh my gosh, I was no. But it was so cool. 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.840 You know Jamie and Mara the casting people. Of course, um, 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.040 I actually knew them both. I was friends with them, 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.640 and they were like, b K. Everyone called me b K. 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.360 You know there's this new show. Um I think I 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:57.720 looked in the first time I did, it was like 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.720 two thousand and one. When was the first episode? Let 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:05.960 me see it was a season two episode five? Nick 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:10.720 and Norris did Nancy, So yeah, that was so. I 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.320 was in season two. Season two is two thousand and one. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.160 Last appearance season seven, so that's two thousand six. Yeah. Yeah, 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:23.720 so I basically played every teacher at children. It was yeah. 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.120 I played like the debate person, you know, the debate 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.480 coach and the yearbook later. So it was it was 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.040 so much fun. Did you guys know you had to 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.959 talk really fast, So Jamie and Morris had just talk 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.079 really fast, Buka talk really fast, no problem, and then 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.160 you know, working on it was. It was cool, just 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.720 trying to get all those It's like, I think it's 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.800 harder to be a co star than actually have like 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.200 a larger part on the show, as you know, because 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.280 you're just so used to it. You know, everybody you're 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:54.880 coming in as a co star and you're just like, 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.560 oh my god, don't screw this up. Everybody's got this 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.959 so wired. Totally agree. So how did you get started? 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.080 How did you get started with your acting career. I 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.560 went to Loyola Marymount. I graduated in the eighties. I 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:12.400 was a business major. My now husband was my theater 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:18.520 school roommates girlfriend. So my roommate again was in the 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.960 theater school. She was dating my husband. I was about 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:25.960 to graduate from Loyola, and my husband back then wasn't 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.519 my husband, but he was in the theater school. He 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.000 wanted to direct non actors. He was like, I'm just 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.040 kind of sick of all the actors and all their 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:34.880 bags of tricks and this and that. I want to 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.200 work with somebody, you know. He had this vision of 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.400 like that they don't know anything, and I'm going to 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.520 teach them and try to keep them real and all 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.760 that kind of stuff. I didn't know what I was 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.120 getting into, and I said, sure, yeah, this sounds fun. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.800 So he cast me in a two person play with 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.600 another guy who was a stage hand at Loyal, who 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.040 also had never done any acting, and um, So it 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.600 then came to me graduating and all the business school, 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.080 you know, all the companies come. You're supposed to go 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.960 and interview and get your business job, and I was 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.400 just thinking, I just can't do it. This is not me. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.240 So I then went to cal Arts. Um, I got 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.880 my masters in theater there. It was so much fun, 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:19.120 and I think in graduated. You know, I've had a 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.240 great run. I've always had tons of other jobs. I 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.560 never put my eggs in one basket. It's kind of 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.599 how I was brought up. So I've had a great 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.599 one run with commercials, done a lot of TV stuff, 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.480 movies here and there. Gary Marshall put me in for 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.440 his movies. You know. Gilmore Girls was so great. You 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.279 know you did those checks even today, like a hundred 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:50.039 bucks Gilmore Girls and stuff like. Yeah. So, had you've 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:55.240 already been watching the show of before your first appearance 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.080 in season two? Did you? Were you aware of not 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.039 a huge TV watcher, and still to this day I'm 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.000 not a huge TV watcher, so I went back and 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.240 watched it last night, and so many people and obviously 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:12.040 how it's had a you know, uh, just a whole redo, 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:16.880 and now younger people have got onto the Gilmer Girls train. 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.040 So I'll just be at some of my you know, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.080 one of my jobs is a tech job right now. 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:26.960 In these twenty some things. Oh my god, it's the 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.320 cutest thing. So I went I've watched them over the years, 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.160 of course, but I want I was like, I just 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.520 want to watch it last night, so thanks for having 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.040 it made me and watching and it was it's so good, 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.679 and I'm just like, yeah, I get it. I see 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.839 why this is a cult classic. And I was just thinking, 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.880 I don't know how you guys learned your lines. I 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.559 have a question for you, but how did you guys 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.880 do it? Scott Um, I don't there are so many lines, 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.520 especially the mom and the daughter. Obviously, honestly, I just 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.000 you know, I'd had a little uh training and a 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.320 little experience with Shakespeare so that there's nothing really is 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.440 daunting after that, you know, I mean, if you can 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.960 memorize like I memorize Hamlet in a couple of weeks, 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.120 in a couple of weeks, but because it made sense 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.320 to me, it was and I was as intimidated as 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.000 anybody else, Don't get me wrong. I was like, good Lord, 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.479 how the hell am I ever going to do this? Um? 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.320 But once you start, it becomes easier because of the 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.440 emotional logic of the writing. If the writing is good, 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.520 it's it's not like your memorizing words. You're memorizing emotions. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:42.520 You're memorizing scenarios, You're memorizing other people. So it's it 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.320 just got easier the more I did it. So you know, 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:49.560 this was not difficult. It really wasn't difficult. And I 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.200 don't think it was terribly difficult for Laura either, because 0:06:52.200 --> 0:07:00.720 I think she has a photographic memory, must because like 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:05.600 she didn't miss it brings. Yeah, I mean the Shakespeare 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.760 right there. I have that training too, and I've done 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.480 tons of Shakespeare, and I love Shakespeare. And the only 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.160 way you can really learn Shakespeare, like you're saying, Scott, 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.200 is you you have to think about. You can't just 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.680 be like by rote memorizing lines in an order. The 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:27.240 iambic pentameter, though, completely help when you're memorizing con coo, 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.080 don't so that helps a lot, but you have to 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.600 think of it more like emotions and I'm really in 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.800 a dialogue and what do I want from this person 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.520 and all that stuff, and then it becomes like a story. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.000 You know, it's not just these random words that you're 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.680 shoving together in your right. It has nothing to do 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.160 with that. Yeah, it's it's really just being in the 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:51.840 scene and and expressing what you have to express. It's 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.640 it's there's there's no other choice but to say these things. 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:59.000 And that's easy to remember. I mean if you have 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.840 like an affinity for it and the story strikes you 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.120 on on a deep level, and and it always did. 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.520 I mean it was just like devastating for me to 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:14.040 read that play. Um So anyway, um so, what do 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.120 you remember of your time on Gilmore Girls? Give us 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.160 some of your your top what are your top three 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.880 memories of working on that show? Okay, the top three memories? 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.680 Um what did you remember? What did you did? You 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:34.040 feed you? I fed you well as a young actor, 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.960 but I was thirty eight when I did that. I 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.280 looked back and I literally thought I looked like I 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.240 was fourteen, But I was almost fourty years old when 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.520 I did that. And you know, you're a working actor 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.199 and you're just like they're feeding you. Someone's coming over 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.400 and asking you what you want for breck and that's 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:56.040 amazing and that that was a beautiful and I always, um, 0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:00.520 I just I also thought that set, that crew everyone 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.680 was just cool. They were just good. You know, I've 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.400 been on when you're doing like guest stars and co stars, 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.200 you go on so many different sets and some of 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.280 them are like, yeah, you get like maybe a vibe. 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.360 I'm very much like an Ari's oldest child of nine, 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.120 so I'm pretty much like no one's gonna talk to me. 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.480 I'm just going straight up to people anyways. It's just 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.880 kind of how I'm built. But you didn't have to 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.280 do that on that set, so and which is why 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.000 to like coming back five times and people would all, hey, 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.360 you know, Amy just so cool and everybody like it's 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:33.760 so great to have you back, and like is it 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.920 weird that I'm this teacher now They're like, note makes 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:40.240 total sense. So you know, even like trying to talk 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.000 myself out of a job, and um, but just good people, 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.280 good food. And I do remember. I think it just 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:52.080 helped me so much to uh, like what you were saying, 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:53.720 really think about what you're saying, even you just have 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.319 like a mouthful in that little scene where I'm telling people, Okay, 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.079 your last midterm and everyone's going to go to college, 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:05.160 don't worry, and someone I know has been accepted to Harvard, etcetera. 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.360 So just spitting out a whole bunch of lines when 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.320 everyone staring at you, there's the boom, there's a camera, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.440 it's like, don't screw this up. Co starring, just like 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.920 shoot it and move. But I probably did stumble and 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.240 everybody was probably super cool about it. So I just 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.480 came out of there with like a great vibe about everybody. 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.959 Do you remember what subject you taught at Chilton? Did 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.160 they tell you? Do you know? Well? I know because 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.040 I was watching that one. Well. When I was the 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:38.680 yearbook coordinator or the debate coach, those were obvious what 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.559 I was doing. But for this I looked to my 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.960 husband and like, what was I teaching? So I would 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:48.120 think last night, I probably I am sure I did 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.640 all my homework and like came up with a full 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:58.480 backstory for myself, right, Scott, I was just like just line, 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.680 But don't I think I was probably some kind of 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.880 a literature teacher definitely, because we're talking. You know, that's 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.800 usually who you would work on, like with your college 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.120 essays and stuff like that. Yeah, and then I remember 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.520 another episode actually this is not this episode, but you 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.760 know Dacian Matthews, um and being a theater actor, right, 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.280 we know who Dagon Matthews is. Like even way before this, 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.400 I was like, oh my gosh, because he was a principle, 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.439 I guess, And there was like some kind of a flashback, 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.880 but that's for another episode. I'll come back and I'll 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:34.040 dress like um, but I bet it was literature definitely 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.480 something English. So what was your experience like filming with 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.480 those children girls? And I think you know who I'm 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:47.360 talking about. Yeah, I was super impressed, like she just 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.520 had to have She wasn't in that scene. She was 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.880 in another episode of probably Yearbook one where I actually 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.960 got to have a little gut down with her. Now, Paris, 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.600 you know, slow down, watch what you're doing whatever, but 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:04.000 all those girls, um, Rory Alexis is her first thing, right, 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.480 But again I was just so how old were they? Probably? 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.040 I mean at that time I had eighteen, right, I 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:19.000 think I think Alexis at that time. Season two was nineteen. Yeah, 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.960 they were also sweet. She was a sweetheart, every one 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.560 of them. Because you're right, there was a whole bunch 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.960 of girls sitting in that classroom and they were they 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.120 were just so on it, so on, it had all 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:32.080 of their lines memorized, such professionals. Again, just raising the 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.600 bar for me seeing like we're just going in, we're 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.680 shooting this, we're out, and they obviously were moving so fast. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.400 And they let me hang around too, because I love 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.839 watching other people doing their stuff and even hanging around 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.959 when I'm done, and people were very cool about letting 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.880 me do that. But I was definitely like the professionalism 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.520 and just really authentic, genuine people. Nobody I felt like 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.680 I had a big head about this or that. You know, 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.880 we're not doing brain surgery here, just gonna trying to 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:04.000 people laugh on TV and also feel the fields and 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:08.000 all that stuff. So now, so now that Netflix has 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.199 uh uh done their thing two thousand and sixteen, new 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.400 generation of fans have emerged. Obviously, do you get recognized 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.959 by any of them? Now? These this new wave of fans, Well, 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.640 it's so interesting because it work. I think someone told 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.200 someone and then they kind of piece it together. But 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:35.160 I'm not in costco getting recognized. For sure. If someone 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.600 walked up to me, you know, I'm just like, were 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.520 you the Literature Teacher season three? You know I would 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:46.440 actually give them a giant hug and be so how 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:51.040 perceptive they are once or maybe twice, you know, you, 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:52.680 I'm sure you've got a lot of them where you'd 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.800 get the eight by ten envelopes and Manila's with the 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.800 pictures in there, and they want you to sign them 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.760 and send them back, and people will be like, I'm 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:04.119 trying to get every head shot signed from this particular episode. 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.480 So I definitely got a lot of those. I was present. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.920 You know, they found me, probably through my agent or whatever. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.679 But like the people that I know where I work 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.679 that have recognized me, then they'll tell this other girl 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.480 they're on like twenties thirties fish and then there they 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.600 just completely recognized me and they put it together. But 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.240 not like, yeah, right off the street, I haven't had that, 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:30.440 But oftentimes though here it is you look familiar. I've 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.680 seen you in something. There has been that, But I've 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:36.040 also done many commercials and other things over the years. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.040 So I was like, well, I have one of those faces, 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:46.840 but a lot of times they don't actually put it together. Hey, 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.520 this is Bobby Brown and I'm relaunching my podcast The 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:54.920 Important Things. What's important to me is everything from how 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.080 to live my life, how to run my business, what 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.200 to do if I feel and what to do if 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:05.040 I'm overwhelmed. Certainly I will tackle a lot of the 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:09.520 issues about getting older. I will tackle with curiosity a 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.080 lot of the issues about what should we be eating, 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.720 because everyone tells us something different and I'm just curious 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:20.920 how other really busy, interesting women get things done. My 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:25.400 first episode is Giada de Laurentis, who is adorable and 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:30.400 gave such great information. Talked to Jenna Elfman, Gabby Reese. 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.760 I mean, come on, the woman knows everything. Talk to 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.240 Jillian Michael's and that's going to be a great one. 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.200 I hope that you will come along for the ride 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.640 because it's been really fun to do this. So listen 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.640 to the Important Things with Bobby Brown wherever you listen 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.880 to podcasts. How long has it been since you watched 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:55.240 the series? Back before last night you hadn't, well, you 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.360 had not seen the show at all, and then last 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.280 night you watched because you're the episode because you were 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.480 coming I'm pretty sure because you know, I'm human. I 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:08.000 probably watched the episode that I was in, right, but 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:12.600 I and after watching it last night, uh, and my 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.160 husband liked it too, and he can be so picky. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.800 We both are like, this is actually super good and smart, 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:23.200 like Edgar Allen Poe stuff. You know, it's it's not shallow, 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.320 it's there's heart to it and there's it's smart too. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:30.200 So I actually I would probably go and watch it now, 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:34.160 but I know I have not watched all of the 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:38.960 Gilmore Girls. Well let me ask you this, have you Scott? 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.120 Or is that part of this podcast? I never I 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:46.080 mean I never watched the episodes though, right because Scott. 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.560 I was almost like, who's Scott? Because I wasn't even 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.720 in with you? So this is like one layer back 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.880 from you. So you've never watched him and I eat. 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.720 So the guy who's like interviewing me, I'm like, I 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.680 had better figure out who this guy because I never 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.480 watched them. But yeah, I do remember the cute guy. 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.560 Just still are you got a little this going on 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:10.400 now with the backwards hat? So you didn't watch him? 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.040 How did you get away with that? Well? I was 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.560 working on them all the time. I don't want to 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:17.000 come home and watch them, you know, Like I I 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.120 knew people who were on series and they would invite 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.959 you over to their apartments of their houses because they 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.280 were getting all their friends together watching the episode. And 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:29.400 I'm like, that is so strange. Why would anyone do that? 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.040 I would be I'm not a huge fan of watching. No, 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.320 I'm not either. I mean, I would be horrified to. 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.760 I would never. I would never. I would have That's 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.919 like torture. I would never even think of doing something 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.000 like that, because why would you put yourself through that. 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.719 You had friends that actually did that, they'd be like, guys, 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:47.840 it's my weekly episode, let's all come over and watch. 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.040 I remember dating a girl before I was involved in 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.520 in acting who did that. She was on a series, 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.239 and and she would do that. She would invite all 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.440 her friends over and then she would, you know, they 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.919 compliment her, and they'd leave, and I'd be sitting there 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.480 kind of dumb struck about what that whole process was 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.840 all about. I mean, I kind of got that she 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.399 wanted to watch the show, but I mean, I don't know, 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.160 it's just not I just was never and I don't 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.880 like watching myself. It's it makes me very uncomfortable. Um, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.640 I never have anything good to say. I'm twenty two 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:21.920 years removed from this show, though, and I feel a 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.359 little better about watching it. Doesn't it doesn't it doesn't 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.040 it skive me out so much. I mean I can 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.280 stomach it. Um. I think I remember even back then 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.040 watching and I was like, oh, I look like I'm 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.199 looking so skinny. It was always something it looked like 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.240 I'm amazingaated. That's not what I sell. My hair is 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:43.040 cues straight, like because I usually my hair is kind 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.359 of straightened it, but it's usually like full on be cruly, 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.960 and I always just even my commercial agent was always 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.320 no straight in your hair, but that's what the moms are. 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.400 So it was just like I was like, oh man, 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.360 that's not me. But it was fun to go back, 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.560 obviously twenty two years later and be like can be like, 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.600 you know, like you can kind of appreciate your younger self. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.520 I think when it's not like a month after you 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:11.000 shot it exactly. Um. Yeah, so you've act, you've acted 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.760 in another TV series since then, So what are you 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.800 up to now? Uh? Well, one thing I've done, Um, 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:21.879 I've been doing theater pretty hardcore for all these years, 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.399 and um, that's how I met Jamie and Marr. Like 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.680 always doing theater, always doing l A theater, which is 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.000 hard to do because there's not a lot of l 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.440 A theater. But I've been part of a troop let's 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:36.399 call it since was my first show with them, and 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.080 you guys can google it if you want. UM the 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:43.200 company so it's called Troubadour Theater Company or Troub's t 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.840 r O U B I E S dot com. So 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:50.600 we have done so many mash ups over the years. 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:55.840 We've done Shakespeare mashups. We do iconic holiday film mash ups. 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.320 I'm gonna give you, like just a couple of ideas 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:03.760 of the Shakespeare so as you to like it. Fleetwood Macbeth. 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:10.000 Our Hamlet show is Hamlet the artist formally known as 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:15.400 Prince of Denmark. UM. Some of our holiday shows, It's 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:20.200 a Stevie Wonderful Life. Dana Claus is coming to Motown. 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:27.639 We recently did Julius Wheezer, and our new holiday show 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.000 is um. We haven't announced it yet but we will soon. 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:34.280 Doesn't matter. But so some people think, do you think 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.679 die Hard is a Christmas movie? You know, there's some 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.760 people that are like on the Friends of It takes 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:42.200 place during the holidays, so we're calling it a Christmas 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.240 movie because we've been doing Christmas shows for twenty years 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:46.199 and we're kind of running out of them or not 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:53.320 Christmas Holiday. So die Hard to the music of Heart, 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:59.520 Die Heart? Are you working like Barracuda? Can you imagine 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:04.560 all those you know? Um, is there a writer working 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:09.040 with your troop? Name Spencer? By any chance? Is that 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:15.480 the first name? You don't have a Spencer working with you? Okay, alright, 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:20.800 because it's because Rick, Rick Battia and Matt Walker. Matt 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.359 Walker founded it years ago. But if you look on 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:27.720 our website and Gary Marshall was a huge champion for us, 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.080 so many of us were in his movies over the 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.439 years we performed, you know how he had the Falcon 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.480 Theater into Luca Way. It's now the Gary Marshall Theater. 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:40.960 Goodness performing over there for over twenty years, so, you know, 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:44.920 always doing like commercials here and there, but theater. Once 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.679 I went to CalArts saying, you know, learned about theater, 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:51.679 it truly was like my love and I've I've been 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:55.239 working with these guys for years and I usually like 0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:59.800 I'm on still, I play very much character parts. Let's 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.240 or that I'm even a woman, like I'm a warlock, 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.159 or I'm a man. I'm an old man. I have 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:07.720 like a character face, so that you must be having 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.840 a brow my voice around a lot. Yeah, we're having 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.200 a good time. Good for you, good for you? So 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.440 um yeah. All right. So now we've reached the point 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:19.840 in the interview where we are entering into a section 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:22.240 called rapid fire.
