8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: With Taj's extensive career, there's a never ending list of questions.

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 2: To ask, So let's get right to it. Here's Taj.

10
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 4: I am so impressed by, Like I've watched all the

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 4: like Behind the Street, Sesame Street, Muppet shows. I'm so

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: impressed by that because that really truly is you know,

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: rubbing your stomach and patting your head, also playing drums

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 4: and writing a cycle.

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 3: They have monit that was there's a lot of firsts

16
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 3: on that show because it's filmed unlike anything. You know,

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 3: they have monitors everywhere because obviously they have to be

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 3: like this, but looking where they are, so as an actor,

19
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: you're not used to seeing five monitors in front of

20
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: you during a scene. So that was a thing. Our

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 3: sets are built like three to four feet above ground

22
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: to leave room, so like you know, set staircases you

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: can very easily fall off, so they're they're marked, and

24
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: you know, they kept us very safe obviously, but there

25
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: was just so many things that you're The first day

26
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: on that show was like like.

27
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 5: It was like yeah, whoa, Like this is a lot.

28
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: And then you know, you start to get it. And

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: then eye line was a trip because you have to

30
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: look at the muppet and not the person speaking, which

31
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,279
Speaker 3: is down there, so that was tricky. But oh, Jody,

32
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 3: it was just unlike anything, and like you really it

33
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: was cool because I kind of got to know the

34
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: performer and the Muppet, so it's like and they're different,

35
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: they're different people.

36
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 6: And then what's really crazy is when it's like a

37
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 6: Thursday at lunch and you're in you know, month three,

38
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 6: and then they dropped the bomb on you that they're

39
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 6: also Cookie Monster and you're like, wait, you do that?

40
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 3: Boy sitting So you're just like it blows your mind.

41
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, one of the most incredible things I've ever done.

42
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: Bucket list. So grateful those people are family to me now,

43
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: and to like that, to have to have a character

44
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 3: that I've played be a part of that universe now

45
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: is just it's awesome.

46
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 5: How did the character of Moove come about?

47
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: Like?

48
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 5: How did that?

49
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: It was very quick. It was a very quick process,

50
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: and I don't think I'm thankful because they allowed me

51
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: to sort of I had a little bit of creative

52
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: control and how he you know, he was written on

53
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: the paper, but but he was originally written a little

54
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: bit different and then when I came on board, they

55
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: were like, oh, okay, let's maybe like mold him a

56
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: little bit so it makes more sense. So, you know,

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: anytime you could play a character that really wasn't written

58
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: to make sense for you to play it, but then

59
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: you end up playing it, it's just like, Okay, that's

60
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: this is an honor. I'm very I'm very honored to

61
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: be doing this. But yeah, it was very quick process.

62
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: The team over there, I'm up at studios, they just

63
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: are great. It was it was very fast, and then

64
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: the process of leading up to shooting was like not

65
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 3: fast because it was the first thing that I ever

66
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: did where we did all of the table reads for

67
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: every episode before we even stepped foot on set, right Yeah,

68
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: oh yeah. It was like like I think like three

69
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: two to three months leading up to shooting. We were

70
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: doing zooms of the table reads because it was during

71
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: COVID and so I had never experienced that before. So

72
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: that was a trip.

73
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 5: But as a COVID you mean, yeah, it was COVID.

74
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: What's Up? So that was that was tricky because it

75
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: was something new, But it was helpful because when you

76
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: got on set, you knew your whole character arc, you

77
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: knew where you were going because we we shot it

78
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: in the in a block schedule, so some days you

79
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: were shooting like three episodes at once, not full three episodes,

80
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: but like scenes from three episodes.

81
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 5: Right, we need this set.

82
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: Is he more confident? Yeah? Okay, he's a little bit

83
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: more confident now, So I got it right, because.

84
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 4: It's block shooting for a movie is hard, let alone

85
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 4: an entire sit.

86
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: It was a very tricky, but it was it was,

87
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: it was. It was great, and Moog was just I

88
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: don't think I've ever loved a character quite like quite

89
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: like Moog. He just And anytime you get to do

90
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: a show where your character is kind of like the

91
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 3: heartbeat of it is just an honor because it's like

92
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 3: you kind of you walk into the role knowing that

93
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: you people are probably gonna like your character, which is

94
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 3: always nice. Yeah, but it's a little.

95
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: You're like built in you have some also, you know, right,

96
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 5: so very curious, like I know you're gonna like me,

97
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 5: but I can't.

98
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: So that was that was that was cool for me.

99
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: And I think you know, the way he dressed, the

100
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 3: way he was, that that all, you know, helped with

101
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: with finding who Moog was and the whole team was

102
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: just incredible. Man. It was just those people will always

103
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 3: be in my heart and anytime I will drop whatever

104
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: if the Muppets call me, you know, I'm there, right, I.

105
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: Am there if you need an assistant, like if someone

106
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: if someone just needs to stand next to the performers

107
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 4: and hold a muppet, you know what I mean, like

108
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: I I'm your gal.

109
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: Let me tell you. It was very because since we

110
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: did it during you know, the height of COVID, there

111
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 3: were so many people that you know, you could have

112
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: brought to set with you, but you just couldn't because

113
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: of you. Just yeah, exactly, it was I'm sure Jody,

114
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: I will remember that and if you know, if they

115
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: call me and Jarrett.

116
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 4: It is a life dream of mine to do something

117
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 4: with the Muppets. I have loved them since the beginning,

118
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: since the only time I ever got starstruck was when

119
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: I met Carol Spinney at a convention man who was

120
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 4: the voice of Big Bird and several others. But like

121
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, my child. Yeah, so

122
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 4: Muppets all the way, Muppet Christmas, Carol, I will fight

123
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 4: anyone that it says that is not the best Christmas

124
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: movie and best version.

125
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 5: Anyway.

126
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: Let it be known.

127
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: Number number one position, always, always, The Muppets are my favorite.

128
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: Always. They have massuses on set. They have.

129
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 4: Oh that would be because like this all day, because

130
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: you gotta do that.

131
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: They have their own hair and makeup team, wardrobe. You

132
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: gotta fly if animal has a flyaway the whole the

133
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: whole scene again, oh yeah, yeah, it is no very joke.

134
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: It is no joke. And something simple like you know,

135
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 3: you the writing credit to the writing team, because you

136
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: can't write whatever you want for a Muppet to do,

137
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: because that takes a lot of war, and like they

138
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: have to maybe create another body part that works differently,

139
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: like they can't like pick things up, or like if

140
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: the Muppets like swimming, how are you gonna shoot that?

141
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: You know? Right, So there there were a lot of

142
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: times where you have you know, every now and then

143
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: you'd have a guy in a green suit because the

144
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: muppet has to do something that he can't do regularly, right,

145
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: But all that was cool. It was just yeah, it

146
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: was an amazing experience. Amazing.

147
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 5: Well, I love that. That's that sounds like so much fun.

148
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 4: Now, let's you have the singing career as well. How

149
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: what made you want to pivot sort of from acting

150
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 4: to singing. I mean it's not like it's a huge leap,

151
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? But I like, it's not

152
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 4: like you're like, wait and then.

153
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: You became.

154
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 5: Yeah no, but.

155
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like what was it? Was that something that you

156
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 4: always loved to do? Was that like something your family did?

157
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think my mom grew up singing in church,

158
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: so like she would always be singing, my sisters singing.

159
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: So I always enjoyed singing. So there came a point

160
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 3: in my life and in my career where I was like, Okay,

161
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: I want to maybe do that professionally and not just

162
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 3: for fun. I'm not I'm always going to be passionate

163
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: about music, but the music industry is just a whole

164
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: nother thing that I didn't find myself loving as much

165
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: as I love my acting side. So for for a

166
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: big part of my life I was doing music, you know,

167
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 3: in the studio, recording, releasing things. But at the height

168
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: of it, I was also doing Baby Daddy, so it

169
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: was very rushed and it was like, oh, I'm on hiatus,

170
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 3: I gotta get in the studio and write this like

171
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: thep real quick.

172
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 5: It was the side project. Yeah, just kind of the

173
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 5: side as opposed to the mean.

174
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: And I don't. I don't think i've ever like now.

175
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 3: Like like I said, it's a huge passion of mine.

176
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: If if if that I have to be inspired to

177
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: do anything, I have to, I have to feel the

178
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 3: itch to want to do that creative outlet, whatever it is.

179
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: And so I don't have that anymore for music, for

180
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: for for the industry. I always love music and I

181
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: always love to sing, but I think now I'd rather

182
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: do it in the acting medium instead of separating them. Again,

183
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: I never never say never. I might, you know, next

184
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: year be like a record album, but like I just don't.

185
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: I'm also very private, and I feel like the music

186
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 3: industry now is just like they want to know everything,

187
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: and I'm just like ooh, like I'm barely on ig,

188
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: Like is this gonna work?

189
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 5: I think yeah, I think I'm generation just don't want

190
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 5: to do.

191
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: That, but yeah, I love it. I love to sing,

192
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: but yeah, I just it's it's a whole different beast

193
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: and it's like, you know, it's a whole other thing.

194
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: And I just know, like right now, I'm like, you know,

195
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: let me, let me focus on this side. But yeah,

196
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: never never never say never down the road, right. Yeah.

197
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 5: So it's it's not You're like, I am a character.

198
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: That's ye, but I'm not out there hustling touring doing

199
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 4: a thing.

200
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah I don't.

201
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 5: He's like business is it is. It's a more so

202
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 5: I think than.

203
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: Actually yeah, oh yeah, without a doubt, and like it's

204
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: just a lot I don't know, it just runs differently

205
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: and it's just like like you can't really trust a

206
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: lot of people and like yeah, it's just like weird

207
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: and I'm just like I don't know if that's like

208
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: my vibe, like you know what I'm.

209
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: Saying, right like that of people? Yeah?

210
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, you I mean. Adding to the list

211
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 4: of things that you have accomplished, you also have done

212
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 4: a ton.

213
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 5: Of voice acting. Yeah, which is so great.

214
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 4: I mean probably one of your best known roles would

215
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 4: be on Kim posses, So like, did you start doing

216
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 4: that as a kid and then.

217
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: Key you know, yeah, voiceover was It's kind of funny

218
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: because back in the day, you know, when I started,

219
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 3: you had a voiceover agent, a regular agent. You had

220
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: a dance agent too, right, So like I was doing

221
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: it all, So voiceover was just a part of it.

222
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: When Kim Possible came around, it was during the time

223
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 3: that it was like the height of like the Disney Channel,

224
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: like you know, the Circle of Life, like Me Shia,

225
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: Hillary Raven, you know, that whole thing. But it was

226
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: also during the time that I took a break from

227
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: like on camera stuff, and it was I think Kim

228
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: Postle we did that for like maybe five years, but

229
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: I think when we started, I was like maybe eighth

230
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: grade maybe, and then like as the show went on,

231
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, I want to take a break

232
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: from acting and just be like a high school kid.

233
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 3: But it was easy to still do because you're only

234
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: in the booth for like an hour once a week,

235
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: and you could show up in your pjs if you want,

236
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It wasn't bothersome to me,

237
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: and it wasn't that I hated acting at that time,

238
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: I just wanted to just play football. You know. I

239
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: ended up playing football, got a scholarship, played for a

240
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 3: year in college, and then ultimately was like miss acting.

241
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: So then I went back. But I'm grateful that I

242
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: had that opportunity to step away. But yeah, Kim Possible

243
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: was a huge part of my adolescence. Did multiple seasons.

244
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 3: We did movies. A lot of people don't know. We

245
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 3: also did a It was the most extensive recording I've

246
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 3: ever had to do for anything. But we did a

247
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: adventure walk through at Disney World for Caim Possible, like

248
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: where you, as a Disney guest, would have like a

249
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: communicator and then I Wade would be talking you through.

250
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: But it was like a choose your own path thing

251
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: like before that was like a thing.

252
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 5: Right, It was like those choose your Own adventures.

253
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: That said I had to record something for every entry

254
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: invent that you had to so I remember the script

255
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: was like it was insane. I was doing that for months,

256
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: but you know, it's it was cool because that show

257
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: kind of spawned multiple things, and then they did a

258
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 3: live action version, which you know was crazy. Nothing I've

259
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: ever done had spawned and like a spin off of

260
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: it in like a for a new generation. So that

261
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: was cool to witness and you know, meet the the

262
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: kid who was playing the new Wade like that was

263
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: fun for me. But yeah, that was just we had

264
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: so much fun on that show Man. Shout out to Christy.

265
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: I've been praying for I hope she's getting better, but

266
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: she that whole that whole crew was just you know,

267
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: those those those studio days were so fun, especially when

268
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: you got to do them together because, as some people

269
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: may or may not know, when you do voiceover stuff,

270
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: not all the time you're with the whole cast, it's

271
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 3: just you a lot of amount of so anytime we

272
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: were with each other, with you know, Will and everyone else,

273
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: there was always like a fun time. But yeah, that

274
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: was such a such a great time in my life

275
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: because I still got to keep my foot in the

276
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: industry but also take a break that I needed at

277
00:15:59,000 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: the same time.

278
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 4: I think we've all again, we've that's something that we've

279
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 4: all kind of done. Is like the three of you know, Andrew,

280
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 4: you really stepped away from the business for a while.

281
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 5: I had kind of.

282
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 4: Stepped away from it for a while, Like it does,

283
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 4: I think when you've been in it since you were

284
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 4: literally a child that it's kind of you know, you

285
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 4: step away and get some perspective and.

286
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 5: Decide like, is this is this still what I love?

287
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: Is this?

288
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 5: You know?

289
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 4: And like I think we've all had to ask ourselves

290
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 4: that question, like I really like this or is it

291
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 4: just all that I know?

292
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: Right?

293
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 5: And it's you know, and then you go do something

294
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 5: else and you're.

295
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 7: Like, yeah, that's exactly what happened to be and it's

296
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 7: I think it's it's it's helpful for your mental health,

297
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 7: it's it's it's.

298
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: Helpful for growth in general to experience life without the

299
00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: glitz and glamour of it all and allow yourself space. So,

300
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: like you said, realize that you are in love with

301
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: it or you're not, you know, but you have to

302
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: give yourself an opportunity to be like, hey, I do

303
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: like this. This is my passion. And like I said,

304
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: I don't like to do anything that I'm not passionate

305
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: about because then I can't give it my all. I'm

306
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: not being true to whatever it is. And I believe

307
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: when people watch things you do, they can feel your

308
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 3: passion behind it, if you're passionate about it, and then

309
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 3: they can tell when you're going through the motions, and

310
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: I never want to go through the motions an effort

311
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: in any case.

312
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 5: So this business, I think it really kind of like

313
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 5: splits at a certain point with the.

314
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 4: Kids who either have been in the business and who

315
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 4: are like, I'm going to go become a lawyer and

316
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 4: I'm done, and then those of us that are like,

317
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 4: you know, I think I'm going to keep playing around

318
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 4: with us, like at some you know, decades.

319
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: Of all the roles you've done, your huge body of work,

320
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: what do you get recognized for the most when you're

321
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: out in public.

322
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 3: Ooh, It's hard because it depends on the age because

323
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: and then it's also interesting because people know me from

324
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 3: something and then they didn't even know that I was

325
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: in that. So it's like, I think it depends. So

326
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 3: it's it's funny because Kim Possible is up there. I've

327
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: been on on the phone and someone was like, are

328
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: you eight? And I'm just like, bro, are you serious?

329
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 3: Like yeah, but how did you know that? So but

330
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's probably between smart Guy and Baby

331
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 3: Daddy the you know, I think, and then the fans

332
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: of Baby Daddy that age range wasn't familiar with Smart

333
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: Guy until maybe after, but fans of Baby Daddy no

334
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 3: Full House. So it's like it's like some some skip over,

335
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, And then there's some that

336
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 3: I'll get recognized just from a film and you know,

337
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 3: they have no idea but anything else I've done. So

338
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: it just depends. But I'd say the top tour Baby

339
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 3: Daddy and Smart Guy like without and then full Houses

340
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 3: is definitely up there. Full House is interesting because, for

341
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 3: an example, Melissa Peterman, who I did Baby Daddy with,

342
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: shout out Melissa, love you so much. Her son was

343
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: a fan of Full House while we were shooting Baby Daddy,

344
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 3: and he was so confused when he saw me because

345
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 3: he was like, wait, you're teddy, but you're not.

346
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 5: But you're old.

347
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 3: You're old. You don't look like that like you kind

348
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 3: of do. But and I'll never forget his face. He

349
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: was like blown away. But it was also cute because

350
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 3: he was like starstruck but like didn't know if he

351
00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 3: should be and it was confusing for him. And yeah,

352
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 3: so that's always interesting because shows like that and like

353
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: Smart Guy, you have new generations watching them now because

354
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 3: I believe Full House is it on Hulu? Yeah, And

355
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: then Smart Guys on Disney Plus and then Baby Daddy's

356
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 3: also on Hulu. So like you get these new generations

357
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: from the older stuff because the parents are now showing

358
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: their kids that. And then it's always fun when you

359
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: meet a fan who's like a parent and they're freaking out,

360
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 3: but then they're trying to get their kid to freak out,

361
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 3: but their kid has no idea who you are. I

362
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 3: don't know who that.

363
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 4: Is, right, So yeah, that's it is funny to hear

364
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 4: how many parents though, like when we you know, do

365
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 4: the nineties con or just comments and stuff are like,

366
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, like I was a fan and I

367
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 4: knew full House, but my kids started with Fuller. Oh

368
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: you went back and watch you know, full House. So

369
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 4: like the new generation I think has done it almost

370
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 4: in reverse.

371
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 3: Such a test to like that to Full House. And

372
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: obviously there's other shows that that can do that, but

373
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 3: there's very few where they last and you can watch it,

374
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 3: like you can watch full House now and be like

375
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 3: this show is fire.

376
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 4: Like you know what I'm saying, This show Stampower, you

377
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like.

378
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 3: It's just a classic. And so there's very few shows

379
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: that are like that. So, I mean, I'm not a parent,

380
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: but I can imagine as a parent how joyful it

381
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 3: must be to show your your children something that you

382
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: grew up on. And also you were you know, like

383
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 3: that's probably so cool, Like it's probably so cool.

384
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 5: No, my kids were never really impressed. They were like

385
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 5: that's weird.

386
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, kids aren't impressed.

387
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 4: They don't care anyway, something else less interesting. I'll tell

388
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 4: you nothing more humbling than having children tell you my neverew.

389
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: I don't think that was another thing about muppets. My

390
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: never did I have friends like texting me hyper than

391
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: I was, you know what I mean, my nephew, you

392
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: acting out scenes. I'm like, oh what did you actually

393
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: just like, oh wow, you usually don't watch the stuff

394
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: I'm made. But well, okay, wow.

395
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's always everyone together.

396
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: You know what.

397
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 5: I'm voting for a muppet next time. That's what I'm doing.

398
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 5: That's muppets.

399
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,119

Speaker 3: Like you know that this was before social media obviously,

422
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: so anytime you could be around your acting peers that

423
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: are going through the same things you're going through, it's

424
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 3: like a huge It's foreign.

425
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 4: It's like, oh wow, you could all be dumb together

426
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 4: right in new ways that are foreign to you because

427
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 4: you don't write, you're not with other kids all the time.

428

496
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 3: how I worded. The one thing that's.

497
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 9: Keeping the one thing that's keeping me very busy right

498
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 9: now is A I recently uh sold a show, so

499
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 9: we're in the process of developing the pilot and it'll

500
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 9: be something it's something that I'll be in and producing.

501
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: So so it's a So it's a it's a very

502
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 3: new space for me. But I feel I feel like

503
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 3: I was made for it because I just love it

504
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: so much. But it's a it's a lot of work,

505
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 3: you know, to be to be involved from the an

506
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 3: early stage. So but I'm having a blast with it.

507
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 3: So we're we're we're we're neck deep in all of

508
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 3: that prep right now. But but it's great that And

509
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: then I wrote a script that I finished last year

510
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 3: with my writing partner on the film side, which is

511
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 3: now another new avenue that I I can explore with

512
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 3: my team and and it'll hopefully it'll that sort of

513
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 3: avenue will be things that I can direct also because

514
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 3: that's always been a goal of mine to to write

515
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 3: and direct something. So that on the movie side, and

516
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: then the other thing that I mentioned first is on

517
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: the TV side.

518
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 4: So so but yeah, all that free time on your hands, what.

519
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 5: What do you do? I I like, I.

520
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: Made a habit of when I'm not on set to

521
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: always be creative in some way, which is how I

522
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: started writing. The TV thing is not something that I'm

523
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 3: I'm writing, but the film side, the film thing is.

524
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 3: But but just to be active with my creativity when

525
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 3: I'm not on a set is always fun for me.

526
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 3: And also I feel grateful that I'm even able to

527
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: do that, you know what I mean. So that's cool.

528
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: I did him film last year that I I'm pretty

529
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: sure it will be coming out this year, which is

530
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: like in the thriller Realm, which I've never I've never

531
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 3: done that before, so that was really fun shooting that.

532
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 5: You get to die? Could you get to die? On camera?

533
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: You telling you? It was cool. I'm definitely doing a

534
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: lot of things that I've never done before, Like the

535
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 3: role is just different. So that was cool. So yeah,

Speaker 3: I stay I keep I keep it pushing over here, y'all,

Speaker 3: Such a part of my job, so beneficial to So

560
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: what I do now is I don't keep it on

565
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,320

566
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 10: a very dangerous path and I don't want none of

567
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 10: that on me.

568
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,520

569
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 4: think I spent too much time on her now and

570
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 4: it's just like I think I'm kicking myself.

571
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: You know, you go into this dangerous territory of seeking

572
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 3: an unhealthy validation through this person that you don't know,

573
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 3: and then one bad comment ruins your whole day and

574
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: and you're just like, why am I doing so? I don't.
