  Speaker 1: and there was probably like fifteen other guys that were
• 2:12

• 2:18
  Speaker 1: us go in audition, and then it was that magical
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: moment where the casting director comes out and says, all right,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: everyone can leave except for Colin. I was like, right,
• 2:27

  Speaker 1: kid walks in and it was actually this guy from
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: my acting class, and um, I was brand new to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: acting and he was like the more experienced actor in
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: my our acting class. He was the guy that like
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: everyone looked up to for advice and stuff. And I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, he's wanting you know. So I was like, oh, then,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously I'm not gonna get this. And shure enough,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: he went in an audition and then she came out
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and said, all right, call him he can you come
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: back in here and audition again. And so I went
• 3:07

  Speaker 1: and she was like, all right, to the other guy,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you can you can take off Colin to go to wardrobe.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So you're working that day? Yeah, wow, how exciting. So
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: so what was that like you tell us about you know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you get the wardrobe. Did you go to Brendan mabn
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and she fitted you with the wardrobe and then you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: went to set? Tell us about what that was like? Yeah,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: just you know, it was a pretty quick wardrobe fitting.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I think I had like two or three outfits and uh,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you know, my character plays a spring breaker, and um,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the girls come and they see they check into a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: hotel the world of the motel rooms, and I walked
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: by with my friends and I kind of like take
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a glance, and I'm kind of like smiling and flirting.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And then, um, we see each other again at the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: pool and I'm just trying to like play Mr. Cool
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and so yeah, I think I had like three different
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: or two different wardrobe changes. Um. And then you know
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of acting is just sitting around waiting, So
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: just kind of sat around waiting for a while and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: then uh, and then just got to it. Um. So
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: we shot one day there and then we shot another
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: day at the nightclub scene where the girls. Um, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: think Paris sees two girls making out, so no, no, no,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: no, no no, Paris makes out with Rory. Yes, well you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: see you see Paris kiss Rory and then you go
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: up to Rory finally, Yes, but it was I don't
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: know where Paris got the idea, but she was like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: she kisses Rory to try to like spice things up
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: because they're like on spring break and right there they
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: feel like they're boring. And of course Rory is like
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: gob smacked. She's like what are you doing? And I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: see this and I'm like, oh, these girls are like
• 5:00

• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a great credit the head of on the resume. Did
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it help your career and all? Getting a Gilmore Girls
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: because Gilmore Girls is sort of a stamp of approval
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the way Seinfeld was absolutely absolutely Yeah, having a credit
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: like that on my resume definitely, Uh makes casting directors
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and directors and producers, you know, taking more seriously and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you're not just uh, you know, a newbie and that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you've actually you know, proven that you've gone through the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: audition process and you know, because it's it's definitely not easy,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: like I just described. You know, there's a lot of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: competition when it comes to acting. You know, sometimes there's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: some luck involved, but a lot of the times it
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: does come down to uh, you know, just um proving
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to the casting that you know that they usually want
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to see you like four or five six times, the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: trust you enough to you know, see what you're capable
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of doing, you'll actually pull the trigger to to cast.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So before you Gilmore, you've done a few TV episodes.

  Speaker 1: When your first gig, you've done Law and Order, s V.

  Speaker 1: favorite bands at the time. Um. I had first discovered
• 8:08

• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Do you do you get recognized from that episode? Um?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I have? I have, yes, Um, maybe once or twice. Uh.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it's usually some I don't know, something,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: just a random person like an airport or something, and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: they'll come up and be like you wait you are
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you an actor? I'm like yeah. Normally it's from All
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: my Children or something borrowed because those are some of
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the bigger projects I've done. And I there was this
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: one person, um, and I was like, she was like,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you know, are you an actor? Was like, yeah, I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: was on All My Children. She's like no. I was like,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: what else have you been on? And this is then
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: where it gets in of this like rabbit hole of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: uh did something borrowed? No? No, that client, No, that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't it. Give the whole resume to somebody. That wasn't it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And then five minutes later she comes back that's me
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: gilbar Girls And I was like, oh, yes, that was
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: twenty something years ago. Y. Yeah, you're very patient just
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to go through the entire list. That's it. Yeah, because
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that's like if you if you say like, hey, listen,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play this game, they're like, oh yeah,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: we'ready a callin niggles Field. He's such But they don't
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: know who you are anyway. They didn't know who you were.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Well they recognized you, but they didn't know why. And
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you know, knew me from something. Wow. Um. So you
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: went on to start in several movies, uh, and TV
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: series mel Melrose Places, Client List, Razolian Isles um, and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you filmed Something Barroed, which kind of a big head right.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, So I mean, I know, we we
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: talked about a little bit in the beginning, but what
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: happened to the sequel? So there there's a sequel to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the there's it's a book series, something Borrowed, something Blue,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and in the end of Something Borrowed, they actually show
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the preview for Something Blue, so left everyone thinking, all right, well,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: this is going to happen. And it was right around
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the time when romantic comedies at the box office we're
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: just kind of like curtailing and the traditional romantic comedy,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: something like How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: or Pretty Woman, Something Borrowed. Um, what happened was two
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: weeks after Something Borrowed came out, Um, it was the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: movie with Kristen Wig, Bridesmaids came and that movie, like
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: almost overnight kind of redefined what the romantic comedy was.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And so our movie kind of, I mean it did,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it did good, but Bride'smaids just exploded and within after
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: coming out after Something Borrowed, all the attention was on
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: bride'smaid So then the romantic comedy started to just kind
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of it started to go a little more subversive and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: a little more black comedy, kind of more realistic, more
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of the non traditional boy needs girl and are they
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: going to get together? Um, it was kind of more
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of the I don't know INDI version of romantic comedies.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: And then couple that with the explosion of Netflix, where
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: everyone started to get these gigantic TVs in their homes
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and so people stopped going to the movie theater as much.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: The largest demographic of movie goers is actually seventeen year
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: old boys. So that's why all of these tent pole
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: superhero movies do so well theaters, like Marvel and you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Superman and all this stuff, spider Man and the romantic
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: comedy as we know it has really kind of shifted
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: more over to like Hallmark and g a C. Where
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: there the traditional you know, boy meets girl kind of model. UM.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: And it's it's a shame because I stn't think there's
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: there's definitely an audience for the kinds of romantic comedies
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that you know, people we grew up watching. UM. And
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: not to say that you know, the new type of
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: romantic comedy is is not um, you know, not viable,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: because obviously it is. It just definitely UM that they
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: were afraid with a huge budget like you kid Hudson
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and John Krasinski's and like the salaries. I mean, it
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: almost became a question of, well, are we going to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: make our money back because the amount of box office
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: scorers now is just not what it used to be
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: So now you have a series called Coffee with Colin
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: on Facebook or or is it YouTube? Tell us about that,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: It's it's both. So I do a live talk show
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: on Monday nights where I interviewed my actor friends and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and influencers athletes essentially the platform. The whole theme of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the show is what what challenges have you faced in
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: life to overcome to be able to manifest your dreams
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and create success in life. A lot of people look at,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you know, actors or athletes or whatever and think like, oh, well,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you know I could never do that, or there's no way,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: like you know, that's Hollywood or you know, all that's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: for other people, and uh, for full you know, for
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a full hour, we delve into you know, why did
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you want to become an actor or an athlete? Or
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: how did you write this book? Um? What were the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: challenges you face? What would you tell your younger self?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: What advice would you give to anyone who's pursuing a
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: career now in acting or whatever? Um? You know, because
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: on talk shows there's really not a whole lot of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: time to really delve into this kind of stuff. On
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: talk shows, it's like five or ten minutes they you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: people give a little sound bites, but I'm a coffee
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: with Colin. I try to show a side of people
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: that the general public maybe never knew about, or when
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: they watched the show, they're like you know what, wow, Like, Um,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: they're just like me. And you know, I always wanted
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to be an actor, and I always like, it's good
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: nice to hear that. You know that success of actors
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: or whatever have the same doubts and the same fears
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and the same insecurities as everyone else. But this is
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: how we overcame all of that to get to where
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: we're at. Um. Interesting alright, Uh, coffee with Colin, Facebook, YouTube,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: checking out everybody. You know. You you have a pretty
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: interesting background before acting, you were in the fashion world.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: You were, um, a very successful model. Uh, tell us
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: about a little bit about that journey. How did you
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: get discovered and what was that experience? Like, Yeah, I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: was I was going to school at the University of Iowa.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I was a senior um and I was coming home
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: from my waitering job one night in the middle of

  Speaker 1: TV or film? And I was like, God, now, I've
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: always been nervous in front of the camera. And it's like,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: why don't you take an acting class see if you
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: like it, because you seem to have a knack for
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: booking these commercials. And I jumped into this acting class
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and who just in New York. In New York, My, Yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: my first teacher, her name was Jackie Segal, and it
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: was just a private acting class in the East Village. Uh.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Studied there for a little bit, and then I studied
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: UM at the Bank Street Theater UM and then also
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: with Sheila Gray and Sam Batson UM and yeah, I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: just I fell in love with it. And then I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: was across the street for the World Trade Center. I
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: had done two acting roles, one Law and Order episode
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: SV and then uh, an episode of the show called
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the Street Right to get into bed with Jenny Garth
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: in my underwear, and uh, you know, two small acting
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: credits to my name. And then those planes hit the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: World Trade Center that morning. I I was living across
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: street from the Trade centers. I went to my window
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: because I could hear the syrens and the ambulances, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I literally looked up and saw the flames and people
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: jumping out of the towers and it was horrendous. And
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I took my video camera and I started video videoing everything.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: And then the second plane hit and that's when I knew, like,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: all right, something's not right. So I ran outside and um,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: this tower fell down. I was running down the street
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and it was two weeks before I could get back
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: into my apartment. And when I did, it looked like
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a bomb had blown up. My windows were blown in
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and there's all this debris everywhere, and I had ten
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: minutes to grab whenever I could, put it to a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: suitcase and get out of there. And that's when I
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: decided to know what I'm gonna go to. I think
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Hollywood to pursue this dream, you know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: this close to meeting my maker. And that was one
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of the things that I write about in my book
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: about you know, I think we take life for granted,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and I think we let a lot of the our
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: own self doubts stop us from going after what we
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: really want to. And you know, I loved acting, but
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the idea of going out to Hollywood to be a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: professional actor, that was just kind of like, it didn't
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: seem real. I was like, I mean Leonardo DiCaprio and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Ben Affleck and Matt Dame like I would love that,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: but and Tom Cruise, I was like, I can never
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: do that. But after that day on nine eleven, I
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: was like, you know what if I was stuck up
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: at those in those towers, and you know, God or
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: someone said, hey, Colin from giving you a second chance
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of life, what are you gonna do with it? And
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: just crystal clear, I was like, I want to act,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I want to go do this, and uh so I
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: went up to Hollywood and counted the pavement for three
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: years and it was in that three year period that
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I booked Stale Moore Girls Before All My Children, which
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: probably back to New York. What's the name of that book.
• 21:22
