Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, no, that's.
Speaker 4: But we I mean, but we definitely you know, yeah,
Speaker 4: we're blonde, we're women.
Speaker 3: No. I was reviewing the episode last week and going,
Speaker 3: I can't believe how well they cast you.
Speaker 2: They really did. Yeah, it was it was really like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: And the hair.
Speaker 2: The hair really made it too.
Speaker 3: The hair did make it absolutely.
Speaker 1: Were those Was that your real hair? Did they put
Speaker 1: you in a wig for the curls?
Speaker 3: You know that? I believe that was my real hair.
Speaker 3: I have that much.
Speaker 4: Hair back then, right, yeah, didn't we all product?
Speaker 3: But I mean it was that was eighties hair or
Speaker 3: you know, or or nineties hair. I guess it was.
Speaker 1: But it was the signature Stephanie Kurr. The ring lights
Speaker 1: that poor Jo had to endure it that I left.
Speaker 4: In season three. So season four we now see Steph
Speaker 4: has straight hair. But so we went rewatching every episode
Speaker 4: of Full House because Andrey and I never watched it.
Speaker 2: We didn't grow up watching the show.
Speaker 4: You just wait, I think you're oh there we go okay,
Speaker 4: But yeah, we didn't grow up watching it, so we
Speaker 4: it's been so much fun to go back and rewatch
Speaker 4: these episodes, especially the ones we have vague memories of
Speaker 4: the flash forward and stuff.
Speaker 2: But I've watched it in so like it's like, I
Speaker 2: have no recollection of the stuff.
Speaker 4: So it's so much fun for us to go back
Speaker 4: and relive some of these memories and also to watch
Speaker 4: things that were like I didn't even I didn't know.
Speaker 2: We did that. That's so crazy. But we saw your
Speaker 2: episode quite.
Speaker 4: Recently, so it's very fresh in our fan rito's minds,
Speaker 4: and we love to hear your thoughts on it.
Speaker 2: Did you watch it when it aired?
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure. I definitely watched it when it aired,
Speaker 3: And I've seen some episodes, like I remember having met
Speaker 3: Jeff Franklin at some point in all that process, you know,
Speaker 3: I mean, I remember him meeting for this for this
Speaker 3: particular episode too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but.
Speaker 3: Looking back on it now, I mean, first of all,
Speaker 3: when I look back on I thought, you guys, it's
Speaker 3: so much fun.
Speaker 1: We really did every day. Yeah, absolutely, that was our
Speaker 1: childhood right there. It's captured eight years of our adolescence.
Speaker 3: I can't really imagine being on set all of you,
Speaker 3: with the with all the with you know, all the guys. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and literally yeah, growing up growing up with them. I
Speaker 3: mean it was it's as you you know, I grabbed
Speaker 3: an episode here and there, you know, in recent times,
Speaker 3: and I was like, this is so special.
Speaker 2: It really it really is.
Speaker 4: And we yeah, like growing up with with the those
Speaker 4: the adults, the guys and Lorie, you know, as our
Speaker 4: sort of su family. I mean they it was. They
Speaker 4: were warm and kind and loving and absolutely hilarious. Yeah,
Speaker 4: absolutely hilarious. But what were your thoughts on the episode
Speaker 4: when you watched it, Like as a viewer, were you like,
Speaker 4: oh that was great or were you what, like what
Speaker 4: was the and feel free to be honest, we know
Speaker 4: there are definitely times that we watched the show were like.
Speaker 2: That's wow, that was terrible.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, when I was filming it, as far
Speaker 3: as you know, I wasn't. I was like, wait, the guy,
Speaker 3: you know, it all made it was all very funny
Speaker 3: and it made sense with all the dads in costume,
Speaker 3: but it made any even more sense after I saw
Speaker 3: the whole thing. And what one thing that was funny
Speaker 3: was that I really didn't get to see you that much, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: in the same scene, you know, and so I didn't
Speaker 3: get to meet you and Andrea Andrea, and I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: I know and Andrea. And I had to practicing Andrea
Speaker 3: to the Andrea because I always call him and Andrea.
Speaker 1: So now it's very confusing. I respond to anything, right.
Speaker 4: Rich Carrell has called Andrea Andrea, uh nineteen ninety yeah,
Speaker 4: and he and he says it, and it's the one
Speaker 4: person that she goes, I'm not even gonna say anything.
Speaker 2: I know, writing him let it go by, let it,
Speaker 2: let it go, let it go.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was what was fun watching it was
Speaker 3: actually seeing just how much you and I did. You know,
Speaker 3: how I did get the essence of your.
Speaker 2: Part and you really did.
Speaker 3: It was a nerve wracking, you know, like I you know,
Speaker 3: to want to get it right, you know, but it
Speaker 3: was really super fun and I actually thought I kind
Speaker 3: of had the best part of the three girls. I
Speaker 3: have to say, oh, thank you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I'm a little biased, I agree, but yeah.
Speaker 3: Honestly, whoever got to play, you know, Stephanie was the
Speaker 3: luckiest because she was always so all over things and means,
Speaker 3: and like I realized when I watched it this week,
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I should have done it. I
Speaker 3: should have done with my hands, you know.
Speaker 2: Definitely, yeah, my hands moved quite a bit when I talk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, so I'm like, why did you hold
Speaker 3: back in that second?
Speaker 1: But anyway, okay, we all do that as actors. We
Speaker 1: are always criticizing my performances. Even thirty years later, we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I should have in that.
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, But I don't know. I don't know. If you, well,
Speaker 3: you probably you couldn't have known this. But I actually
Speaker 3: knew Jane Modine from way back in the day.
Speaker 4: Okay, when we were going to ask, did you know
Speaker 4: any of the other Ronda or Jane or any of
Speaker 4: the other women.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I might have seen Ronda Jane. I
Speaker 3: knew like like this was like okay, when I was fifteen,
Speaker 3: I was always in like school plays and stuff like
Speaker 3: that from like right, and then somewhere when I was
Speaker 3: like fourteen fifteen, I went downstairs with a teen magazine
Speaker 3: to my mom and I'm like, I want to be
Speaker 3: a model, And I.
Speaker 1: Was so right.
Speaker 3: My mom, and we lived in New Jersey. So my
Speaker 3: mom had been a ballet dancer back in her day,
Speaker 3: although she was from Kansas City and so, but she
Speaker 3: even in Kansas City days when she was growing up,
Speaker 3: her mom brought her New York City and she did
Speaker 3: one of those six week things. So my mom had
Speaker 3: a little New York hood spot in her, you know, right,
Speaker 3: She's like okay, And I guess I knew someone from
Speaker 3: school whose brother had an agent and did something, so
Speaker 3: I guess maybe I connected with that person. Anyway, started
Speaker 3: that one was like, yeah, blonde, I like our type blonde, right,
Speaker 3: you know, teenager not not like a you know, not
Speaker 3: like a grown up model, like a fifteen fourteen started
Speaker 3: pucking things right away. Then they started. Then I moved
Speaker 3: up to a different to like Ford Agent, four Children's
Speaker 3: Department Agency. Right suddenly I'm going up for TV commercials.
Speaker 3: And on my second audition, where I was still.
Speaker 4: Like yeah, right, like it's completely nervous when you walk
Speaker 4: in the room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the waiting room, I see Jane Modin. Well
Speaker 3: I had seen Jane Modin on covers of things, so
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 2: Like, wow, that's yeah. Jane was like modeled a Ton.
Speaker 3: Modeled a Ton and she was sort of one of
Speaker 3: my She was just, you know, not not much I
Speaker 3: don't know how much, a couple of years maybe older
Speaker 3: than me. And she was actually at the same audition
Speaker 3: but bringing her younger sister who was more my age. Huh.
Speaker 3: She the little sister and the little my age sister
Speaker 3: and I were auditioning for this commercial. But I just
Speaker 3: was I was absolutely straw struck when I was sitting
Speaker 3: next to Jane, and I think we started a conversation
Speaker 3: or whatever, and then we would run into each other,
Speaker 3: especially because she'd bring her sister on these you know,
Speaker 3: go sees for modeling or commercial auditions, depending on right.
Speaker 3: And then I didn't know she was out in LA
Speaker 3: when suddenly were cast in this Oh how fun.
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: It was really it was really fun and bizarre to
Speaker 3: have it kind of come full circle. And I know
Speaker 3: for for a time, you know, they were what and
Speaker 3: she was married today for a time.
Speaker 1: And they had a son, Luke.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how old is he?
Speaker 1: Oh gosh something. Now he's married and he has a
Speaker 1: child on the way.
Speaker 4: Now there's something as a pilot is uh yeah, like
Speaker 4: just yeah, awesome human, Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's amazing. Isn't that weird? Well, it's weird. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: you still look so young. So I'm like having no
Speaker 3: problem with this right now.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, thank you, we appreciate it.
Speaker 1: It's full water. Yeah, the full House family doesn't age,
Speaker 1: and you are definitely a part of that. When you
Speaker 1: drank the water too, it's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's yeah, everyone everyone has aged. Well I'm not
Speaker 4: sure what sort of Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like Greek yogurt from Jean.
Speaker 4: It's just we actually, yeah, the Greek just sort of
Speaker 4: by osmosis.
Speaker 2: We were exposed to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, but that show is really fun.
Speaker 3: But but being being on you know, a sitcom with
Speaker 3: a live audience stuff was always it was like going
Speaker 3: back to the stage work, which I only did is
Speaker 3: it in school play? So there there's always a bit
Speaker 3: of like but you know that was the performance anxiety.
Speaker 3: But I watched it. I'm like it was great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it definitely is.
Speaker 4: It's a little bit different than a you know, like
Speaker 4: doing anything on a single cam or commercial when you
Speaker 4: have a live audience, because you've got an extra two
Speaker 4: hundred people there watching you. It's not you know, for
Speaker 4: people that aren't used to that it is a little bit.
Speaker 4: They're like, wait, I'm it's a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I remember it being helpful in that when
Speaker 3: I woke up out in the bed being you right,
Speaker 3: you know, like the people laughed because yeah, like they
Speaker 3: got it because they're like massive fans. They're like, oh.
Speaker 1: Right, so great, it was really fun. Hey, Fana Ritos,
Speaker 1: it's the announcement we've all been waiting for. How Rude
Speaker 1: Tannertos now has merch whoa Baby. We have a limited
Speaker 1: selection of designs for this launch, all created by Jody
Speaker 1: and me from I Love that Amphibian to the World
Speaker 1: is small, but the house is full. Check it out
Speaker 1: at howarudmarch dot com.
Speaker 4: So I would love to what were some of like
Speaker 4: how did you build adult Stephanie?
Speaker 2: Like did you had you watched episodes?
Speaker 4: I mean, I know we didn't get to spend much
Speaker 4: time together, but like did you were you there for
Speaker 4: any other rehearsal to like did they say to come.
Speaker 2: Watch us or what? Like how did that?
Speaker 4: Because you did such a great job and you really
Speaker 4: nailed so much of the mannerisms and the personality, I
Speaker 4: would yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I don't think I I think you know,
Speaker 3: basically you had to come in with from me with
Speaker 3: you on the audition with it, right. I'm sure I
Speaker 3: watched you and your mannerism because I remember on whatever episode,
Speaker 3: it wasn't so easily findable like these, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, you were on Great.
Speaker 4: It wasn't like you could go to YouTube in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were like, does anyone have a.
Speaker 4: Co of a tape of a VCR that they happened
Speaker 4: to record?
Speaker 3: You know? And yet and yet at the same time,
Speaker 3: I did another kind of like this where I was
Speaker 3: totally mimicking on Sheers. I did a nightmare for being
Speaker 3: being the Shelley Long character. And so because that show
Speaker 3: was had been on already and was on so much,
Speaker 3: I could find what I would do. And I probably
Speaker 3: did this the same with you, because this is how
Speaker 3: I would do it. I would watch the show without
Speaker 3: the dialogue. I to try to get the mannerisms, which
Speaker 3: is why I pissed at myself, but I didn't get
Speaker 3: more of the hands but.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, but the how Yeah, the how rude was
Speaker 4: really the key part as long as you nailed that.
Speaker 3: And yeah, but but yeah, I would just sort of
Speaker 3: study in different ways. Get you know, do the voice.
Speaker 3: Just then watch the physical you know.
Speaker 1: That's a great method to watch without sound and just look.
Speaker 2: At really watch someone's mannerisms.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because otherwise physicality look at the whole and listen,
Speaker 3: go to the whole thing. But if I just watch it,
Speaker 3: then I could at least take it apart a little bit.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, you nailed the confidence because Stephanie was so
Speaker 1: like confident yet sassy, and I just nailed you, like,
Speaker 1: even without speaking, you nailed that whole. You just embodied her.
Speaker 1: It was not watching.
Speaker 3: It was fun. Thank you, Thank you so much. And
Speaker 3: when when I left that you know that bedroom scene
Speaker 3: when we're off to the ball or whatever, and I
Speaker 3: sort of sort of did a skip, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: that was good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's perfect. Yes, it really was. People love this
Speaker 2: episode too.
Speaker 4: People love this ridiculous flash forward episode. I mean it
Speaker 4: was We had Rhonda shear On who played uh Andrea
Speaker 4: adult Jimmy adult Kimmy, and that was just I mean
Speaker 4: that was so much fun.
Speaker 1: Again, great casting there too. Yeah, Oh my god, mailed
Speaker 1: the Kimmy Gibbler character.
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally did. Yeah, yeah great. When is when does
Speaker 3: Hers air or air?
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was on the show two months ago. But yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a great episode. It's a really fun, great episode,
Speaker 4: and I mean she's you know, still doing all manner
Speaker 4: of things, so she had that was a very interesting
Speaker 4: conversation with her.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we had her on. Now.
Speaker 4: One thing that you are absolutely known for, obviously is
Speaker 4: Revenge of the Nerds.
Speaker 2: Yes, the second you came.
Speaker 4: On, I will tell you, our our editor was like, like,
Speaker 4: totally new that's Betty from Revenge of the Nerds. So
Speaker 4: that is people probably don't remember that you were adult Stephanie.
Speaker 4: I mean maybe a little bit, but they definitely remember
Speaker 4: you as Betty from Revenge of the Nerds because you
Speaker 4: were like you were the dream girl.
Speaker 2: I mean, I it's you know, yes, yes.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. We're still having so much fun with that.
Speaker 3: You know, we're doing all of these comic cons, which
Speaker 3: I know, you guys, I was.
Speaker 2: Gonna say, I bet you Yeah. It's because it's got
Speaker 2: such a cult following.
Speaker 4: I mean, Revenge of the Nerds was like the I
Speaker 4: mean the epitome of like the eighties.
Speaker 2: It was, you know, it was yeah.
Speaker 3: And of course, you know, like some like so many things,
Speaker 3: like you know, even think some thing's in your show,
Speaker 3: like because I was listening to your podcast from like
Speaker 3: a month ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, leave a kid in a car right things
Speaker 2: where you're like that, what wouldn't be.
Speaker 3: It was just so funny, but of course on a sitcom,
Speaker 3: so I'm re arranging myself on the cot Oh no
Speaker 3: go I But yeah with Revenge the Nerds, gosh, none
Speaker 3: of those fun movies. I mean ours, our movie. I
Speaker 3: don't know if you saw it, but our movie had
Speaker 3: a lot was you know, sexy, and and there was
Speaker 3: some nudity, but right at heart, it was all about being,
Speaker 3: you know, having being being a nerd or having feeling
Speaker 3: hearts of you were not accepted, which frankly I can relate.
Speaker 2: To, even though everybody can.
Speaker 3: Yeah you know, I mean like everyone can relate to that.
Speaker 3: And people will come up to me at these events
Speaker 3: and or you know, and say, my god, you changed
Speaker 3: my life, and it's like we both have tears in
Speaker 3: her eyes. It's like out of a comedy like that.
Speaker 3: But that I think that's why that comedy still you know,
Speaker 3: why there is a following because it really is all
Speaker 3: inclusive and the fact in love with Robert Krodine's character
Speaker 3: Lewis right. I mean, yes, it happened after the moon bounce, right,
Speaker 3: but you know, but but he was had been and
Speaker 3: he had been, you know, endlessly approaching me and and
Speaker 3: you know, because anyway, I mean.
Speaker 4: I there is no it's great, like there is sort
Speaker 4: of a payoff and like a message to the movie,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And it was yeah, And.
Speaker 4: There were so many movies of that era that were
Speaker 4: the jocks and the dudes in the you know and
Speaker 4: kind of and it was like exactly this weird science
Speaker 4: those kind of movies where it was like, you know,
Speaker 4: the overlooked ones are like.
Speaker 3: Figuring it out exactly which is And.
Speaker 4: Of course there's you know, like you said, watching shows back,
Speaker 4: you watch it and you're like, wow, there, we couldn't
Speaker 4: do that now, nor should we ever.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: That was yeah.
Speaker 4: But it's like fun to take that time capsule back
Speaker 4: and like go into you know, the fun silly ridiculousness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, eighties and nineties comedy.
Speaker 3: And that and that cast in particular, like we're all
Speaker 3: going to a party next week. We are all like
Speaker 3: just I mean, over the years, it's it's we had
Speaker 3: that that feeling of camaraderie initially on the set for sure,
Speaker 3: but then you know, my god, so many years of
Speaker 3: you know, it's forty years ago. Yeah, but we've about
Speaker 3: ten years. Well, then we did. They did the second one,
Speaker 3: which I turned down because they had my it wasn't
Speaker 3: written by the same writers. They beating on Lewis on
Speaker 3: page six with a Joe right, that's what I said,
Speaker 3: No I'm doing that. Did you see the first movie? Right?
Speaker 3: You just just like, no, I'm not doing it. So
Speaker 3: then the director's like, oh, come and we'll rewrite it.
Speaker 3: And then my friend Curtis, Curtis Armstrong, he was they
Speaker 3: were already down there shooting, they were in four. He's like,
Speaker 3: they're not working with us the way they said. He said,
Speaker 3: I really wouldn't believe that they will, first of all,
Speaker 3: and I was when I was reading the scene. It
Speaker 3: wasn't like we had broken up for something. We're in
Speaker 3: a fight. And then you see me in a hotel
Speaker 3: room with a jot so I'm like, no, I.
Speaker 2: I yeah, that wasn't Betty.
Speaker 3: That wasn't Betty. And then then we did a third
Speaker 3: and fourth that were.
Speaker 2: Movies of the week, right, Oh yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 3: The third one was kind of boring, I thought, but
Speaker 3: I one is really cute. But of course the first
Speaker 3: one was the best because then I got to have
Speaker 3: nerd children and all that.
Speaker 2: Yess yep.
Speaker 3: But yeah, like on Monday, we're all going to a
Speaker 3: party and we do these comic cons our Last last month,
Speaker 3: because it was early November, we were did a personal
Speaker 3: appearance thing at in Cancoon that was kind of fun.
Speaker 3: We were there for the whole week and they were fun. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was just fun. It was just fun. It wasn't
Speaker 3: It was very little work and lots of like lounging and.
Speaker 4: Amazing, amazing and amazing that like you guys as a
Speaker 4: cast still have stayed connected. I mean, that's something that
Speaker 4: we share all the time, is how close we remained
Speaker 4: as a cast.
Speaker 2: And it really it's unique.
Speaker 4: You know, when you do a movie or a show,
Speaker 4: like you don't always stay in touch with those people
Speaker 4: for forever. You know, maybe even if you get along
Speaker 4: really well, have a few months or your CM at
Speaker 4: a thing or whatever, Hey, how's gone. But like the
Speaker 4: extent to which I think it sounds like we all
Speaker 4: have remained close with our cast made it is unique
Speaker 4: and it makes for such a wonderful experience to go
Speaker 4: do those comic cons. I mean when we go to
Speaker 4: nineties Con, it's so much fun to get to hang
Speaker 4: out together again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're like, oh, I'm so excited. You just get
Speaker 3: to be with everybody like non stop. Yeah, it's very,
Speaker 3: very unusual. Very I wouldn't say there's one cast that
Speaker 3: like that is other than that cast is like the
Speaker 3: most special cast. Yeah huh, that's really fun. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 4: Now, what what were some of your other like fun
Speaker 4: acting roles that you did? I mean those were these
Speaker 4: are the two that you're probably best known for.
Speaker 3: But exactly some of my other favorites. Well, I did
Speaker 3: a really I was nominated for an episode of Magnum
Speaker 3: p I and I love Tom Selleck. He is, yeah Dutch,
Speaker 3: a great guy. So I had a great episode of that.
Speaker 3: Funny enough, I was because of these comic cons when
Speaker 3: I'm my one of my cast members of saying you
Speaker 3: should make a new banner.
Speaker 5: And I'm like, okay, okay, And so I'm like, well,
Speaker 5: you know what I should do just for my kids alone,
Speaker 5: is just and not that they would care about.
Speaker 3: I like organize, you know, Paul stop find episodes and
Speaker 3: shows that I did and pull something from it. So
Speaker 3: at least I've got it in an organized place and
Speaker 3: it's fun, fun for me. But it's just like, okay,
Speaker 3: here's what heres? So, I mean, I knew I did
Speaker 3: a really good episode of Remington Steele, but I did
Speaker 3: not remember that I got to make out with pure
Speaker 3: Spot Brosnan on screen. In the eighties, you made out
Speaker 3: on screen. There was no there was no testing for.
Speaker 2: Anything, right, Yeah, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3: Just like I watched the episode aole once ago. I'm like,
Speaker 3: I remember that I had to flirt with him, and
Speaker 3: because of his character, you know, because he's so cool,
Speaker 3: because he was ried in love with Stephanie Simbolis Junior.
Speaker 3: As a character, I I didn't really as the actors
Speaker 3: coming on. I didn't really get like, okay, could he
Speaker 3: help me be a little more? Not that he has
Speaker 3: to flirt with me, but I had to, like really right,
Speaker 3: it was so stressful, so it was so hysterical. I
Speaker 3: remember texting my friend going, I have forgot who forgets
Speaker 3: that they make out with Pierce Frosmen. I mean, I
Speaker 3: don't think that that's that's actors nerves, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean? Right, I just remembered having going this is hard,
Speaker 3: this is hard. You think you're just sure you'd love
Speaker 3: to do this to Pierce Froston. But I mean if
Speaker 3: you're both doing it, that's different. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had nothing, you had nothing to feel off of,
Speaker 1: you know. He Yeah, you just had to come up
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and apparently you know, I mean it's well known now,
Speaker 3: but you know that they there was I didn't understand
Speaker 3: what it was about. But there was tremendous tension on
Speaker 3: the SEC. I guess they didn't. They really didn't get
Speaker 3: along like they didn't.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a moonlighting sort of vibe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, I I didn't know that.
Speaker 4: I just thought you just were like, Wow, it's tense
Speaker 4: around here, right hard?
Speaker 3: Uh? That was that was still that was looking back
Speaker 3: out of that was. That was a great episode. But
Speaker 3: but it was a very interesting experience. Oh I got
Speaker 3: to work with Angela Lansbery on road.

Speaker 3: Oh did you ever? I'm sure you probably a legend.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I ever that I ever did

Speaker 4: I remember watching Murder she wrote with my mom as
Speaker 4: a kid like that was yeah, the little typewriter, the
Speaker 4: whole deal. And I was like, I loved it.
Speaker 3: She was amazing. I mean I I believe I had
Speaker 3: seen her on stage in I think Gypsy went probably
Speaker 3: yes eight, uh, you know in New York right right
Speaker 3: from remember I believe it was Gypsy. Whatever I saw
Speaker 3: her in, I stood up, I was there with my parents,
Speaker 3: stood up at the end, clapped, you know, obviously clapping
Speaker 3: and like pouring down tears. I think that was the moment.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh yeah, but she was amazing. So later
Speaker 3: when I got cast on her show, I had the
Speaker 3: joy of working with her. She came down to the
Speaker 3: set every every day and rehearsed with a cast for
Speaker 3: that episode like endlessly. It was I never that was
Speaker 3: not something that was done as you know, you could
Speaker 3: imagine that. Yeah, it was just amazing. And then years
Speaker 3: later I ran into her at Santa Monica Seafood. There's
Speaker 3: only a little there used to be a little walk
Speaker 3: in store where you just bought. It wasn't direct right,
Speaker 3: and it was I don't know what time, it was,
Speaker 3: probably like mid afternoons. I walked in there, weren't very
Speaker 3: many people there and maybe there was one other person,
Speaker 3: and then there was this woman and I from the back.
Speaker 3: I looked at her and I went, that's gotta be
Speaker 3: Angela because it's so tall.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh is she tall?

Speaker 4: fana rito love.
Speaker 3: It's funny because I started on a sofa after I
Speaker 3: did a little bit of the modeling, and then I
Speaker 3: got right into commercials and then suddenly out of nowhere
Speaker 3: and back in New York in the New York days.
Speaker 3: Did either of you ever live in New York and do? No,
Speaker 3: you probably didn't.
Speaker 4: I spent a fair amount of I worked there a
Speaker 4: little bit, but I didn't live there. But uh yeah no,
Speaker 4: but I've spent a fair amount of time there.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, back in the early days before you guys
Speaker 3: were born. No don't. I don't know. You know, you
Speaker 3: could have multiple agents anyway, which why is why am
Speaker 3: I bringing this up up? No, I'm not sure, but
Speaker 3: because you could have some some auditions from one agent
Speaker 3: and so for another. So all of a sudden, I
Speaker 3: got an audition for a soap opera and I was
Speaker 3: like out of nowhere, like it seemed well I barely
Speaker 3: started working, you know, right then I got this. So
Speaker 3: then I ended up getting the soap opera. And that
Speaker 3: is another cast that we It was so much fun
Speaker 3: in that day. We were called in early in the morning.
Speaker 3: We blocked you know, kind of like your schedule, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Andrea did days of our lives.
Speaker 1: She started on a so I know the grind. I
Speaker 1: know the soap grind. That is not easy a lot,
Speaker 1: especially as your first acting like that is not it's
Speaker 1: boot camp for actors as it is now it's boot camp.
Speaker 3: You doing that. So you did do that same schedule. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I kind of ye, I'm on the biggest hand,
Speaker 3: I really loved it because you had that whole day.
Speaker 3: You even the wrong day, and it was sort of
Speaker 3: but you at least you got to come in with Omega,
Speaker 3: run through the scene, get your blocking, try to get
Speaker 3: a line changed here and there. Right, Samantha wouldn't say this,
Speaker 3: she was anyway, that was the line, and you know,
Speaker 3: and then slowly work and you get to you get
Speaker 3: to rehearse in between with all the actors and that
Speaker 3: that group. You know. Although I was like one of
Speaker 3: the absolutely youngest on it. There was some young boy,
Speaker 3: but then he wasn't on the show for that long
Speaker 3: or that, you know whatever, But so I was like
Speaker 3: the youngest when I was sixteen. I wasn't that young,
Speaker 3: but I was still the youngest, and I had a
Speaker 3: great time rehearsing, and that cast was really really special
Speaker 3: to me. In fact, one of those one of the
Speaker 3: people i'd that there is my best friend Brentayer. So
Speaker 3: we should both lived out here for eons. But but
Speaker 3: that scenario that you guys had every week, Yeah, read
Speaker 3: through it. You you you know, you work, then you've
Speaker 3: got your stuff that you do and it's like right,
Speaker 3: fun so fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like it's like well for sitcoms anyways, it's
Speaker 1: like doing live theater with the ability to mess up
Speaker 1: and do it again right.
Speaker 4: The best, The pressure off of the like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: if I screw this up. But it also you know,
Speaker 4: you get the the audience immediate reaction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the best, it's the best. Yeah. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: really really fun.
Speaker 2: Do you prefer TV or film more?
Speaker 3: You know, I would love to do a series because
Speaker 3: I would love the nighttime series. I would love because
Speaker 3: of the repetition of the character and getting to cut
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: I mean film is wonderful, but I think, honestly right now,
Speaker 3: I would love to do a series. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The consistent work is great. Really, that's what you get
Speaker 2: the point. You're like, I'd love to be on.
Speaker 4: A series and just just work for like several months in.
Speaker 3: A row and no in the same character and get
Speaker 3: to them be the great.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's in where you're like, I know, okay, I've got this.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's always a new idea, but you've got
Speaker 3: your basis. You figured it out. I'm working on, uh,
Speaker 3: a show that we're looking for the platform but pulled
Speaker 3: Loganberry Lanes and it's it's kind of like a Desperate
Speaker 3: Housewives meets not a murder she wrote, But it's it's
Speaker 3: really fun. It's like five women. Uh. Kristin Johnston tokes
Speaker 3: from TOAs, I'm always gonna say her last name wrong,
Speaker 3: TOAs from Frasier. You know, yes, yes, Julia camp all Ah,

Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Nicki Michelle love her anyway, amazing cast. So
Speaker 3: we're working, We're about to do our third episode. But
Speaker 3: it's kind of like, I guess this is the way
Speaker 3: it goes now because I've actually, I actually way stepped
Speaker 3: out of the business and then got back into it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: about ten years ago, started doing commercials and stuff like that,
Speaker 3: and you know, started getting doing short films and things
Speaker 3: like that. But basically also got my real estate license
Speaker 3: because I realized I wasn't going to stay married absolutely
Speaker 3: not to.
Speaker 4: That there you go, yeah, yeah, you're like it would
Speaker 4: be I will be seventeen things.
Speaker 2: If it means that I have to that I can leave. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: So I decided, Okay, I'm also going to get my
Speaker 3: real estate license because you know, and so I'm having
Speaker 3: a ton of fun with real estate and I'm back
Speaker 3: to acting and it's amazing. Yeah. It's actually because I
Speaker 3: like not as much as I love which I totally
Speaker 3: do doing characters and being doing our world. I also
Speaker 3: love not being the focus and the client being the
Speaker 3: focus and find the house. It's it's like a really
Speaker 3: like I love the process, so I love to love it.
