• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I am, I am all in. I guess that wrong.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: But we've we've been cows for a couple of years
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: now and nows for a few years and and you
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: were good enough to come by holidays made here.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: What are your impressions?
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: You came last year with your daughter Ryan Ryan Kiera
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Armstrong as your daughter, the up and coming super talented.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Clips me at ten years of age.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: She eclipsed everybody you know. I think she's gonna win
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: an oscar by the time she's twenty. And she's what
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: fifteen now, and she's coming into town tomorrow. You have
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: done a fantastic job with her. She came by and
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: did an interview with her last year in the VIP lounge.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Tell Us, tell us about your impressions of this experience,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: This Gilmore Girls holidays made here experience.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Well, my impressions, honestly are really correlated with her experience
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: in the show. So I hadn't got on that Gilmore
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Girls train when it aired for a lot of reasons.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I didn't have a TV. I didn't know what TV was,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: but i'd heard of it and I knew that there
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: was storytelling on this box. But no, I came to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: fall in love with the show watching the show with
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: my daughter. So the resurrection that this series has had,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and you've talked about it so many times, it's cross
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: general across, the cross generational impact that it's had in storytelling,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: about relationship dynamics that Scott cannot keep it together. He
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: has often said, Dean, you were ridiculous. I don't like
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: looking at you because when I do.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I laugh.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: But the reality is Scott and I have a very
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: close relationship. It's based predominantly on farts and laughter.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: But so you bought you You're you're saying part of
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: if I can extract some of the nuggets from this
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: golden throat of yours.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Golden Actually, you know what this is. This reminds me
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: of So Scott and I met on another series, and
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the very first day that we worked together, I was
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: locked in. I was loaded.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: This was the.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: First day that I was going to meet the extraordinary,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: most incredible talent, Scott Patterson, and I showed up on set.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I had not met Scott yet, Scott had not met me.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: We were at the beginning of this showingly, you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: friendly with one another, but we grow to be antagonists,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you know, opposite one another over the course of this
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: this this, this, this series. But I'll never forget this.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But I met Scott and I shook his hand and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: we started the rehearsal, and I again was locked in.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I'm on very different sides of my personality. By the way,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: what you guys have seen has not been the serious side.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: But I was there and I was locked in. And
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I started doing the scene with Scott and he goes
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it would come to his line and he'd be like,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: he's really good. He's like, he's totally throwing me off.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: He's like, you're so serious, You're so into all right,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and he kept trying to ground himself in the rehearsals.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Not true, true, This is a very true story. You
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: forget this bull.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: The point is God had been doing this for a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: minute now and I showed up and he had some
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: grievances over the goose. We were talking about it's a.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Bunch of bulls, chats. We were talking.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: About some of these core New York actors that make
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: up the stable structure of any good cast. But what
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: had Clinton called them? The la what the hacks? Knuckleheads?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: That's what it was, the knuckleheads. So I don't know.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Scott may have been working with some people that he
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: was maybe having a challenge being challenged, But I stepped
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: up there and I challenged him and he was thrown
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and he lapsed and we were best friends ever since.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: But coming back to your show that we were here
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: today to celebrate, I fell in love with the show
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: after I had met you.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So funny, see this is what happened on.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Day one of Sullivans.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: This is what it was.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So afterwards then I, you know, my daughter's like, oh,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: you're working with Scott, And I said, I am JeOS.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I love Scott I said, how do you know Scott?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I watch him on The Gilmore Goes. I never watched
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: The Gilmore Girls, and he said, well, you have to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: watch the Gilmore Girls with me, and then I really
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: fell in love with you. But to that end, the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: journey started on the show. We shared to my daughter's
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: love of the show, which she passed on to me.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Where's my twenty dollars? Where's my twenty dollars? These are
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: actually true stats. So Scott was kind enough because we
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: developed this friendship non friendship where he's he thought it
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: would be cool to have Ryan and I come to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: this very investive event.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Last year, Holidays made here.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: What's it called? So the Holidays made here and it
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: made our holiday to see so many people celebrate this
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: show that has been resurrected from the debts a former
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: fan love, but now current, which is amazing. Every shows
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: can say that they've done this.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: It's never died.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I didn't say it died. I just resurrected. Jesus never
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: died either. It's a great example. For example, here we
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: are celebrating Christmas, which is the birth of our Lord.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: It's all full circle when you think about it. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: just put that together, it's gold. I know how to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: package this now next year.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I knew this was a good idea. Yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Anyway, So continuing on with with Ryan and yes, coming
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: here last year and experiencing this, elaborate a little bit
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: on that, and you know her takeaway.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: From well, she didn't want to come this sh she's
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: not here last I checked, so, uh, Ryan couldn't be here.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: She was very sad. I will say this. When I
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: joined you with the tree lighting thing, the opening last Thursday,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you had a cast member that was a love interest
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: on the show.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Correct logan is the character is correct?
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I pay attention. So I took a picture because again
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and sent it to Ryan in real time, and she
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: lost her mind. She was why this year? Why not
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: last year? Will he be coming back? I'm mad at you? Right?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Should I blame you for the distance that's now been
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: created that has not having her here with me today
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be celebrating Christmas alone. It's kind of
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: sad because of that exclusion.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: That's what she was coming.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: She's coming. She shall be here tomorrow.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: But that's not a great story.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: No, it's not good. So that's why I said it
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the other way. It's more interesting. That's more interesting, that's
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: more interesting.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Now that you've had this is your second you're kind
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: of a veteran in the holidays made here experience, So
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: tell us about how that experience has changed your view
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: on things, changed.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: My view on things.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: That was the question.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: People keep coming back. You know, that's really important to
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: acknowl there's a lot of uh, there's a lot of
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of there's a lot of money behind this.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people behind this to support the
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: unsatisfiable lust and need that you know. Clint used the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: word orgasmic earlier, and I would like to echo that
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: same sentiment. But like to see the love of people
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: dressing up in your clothes, men and women the same
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: like I've seen women wear your clothes and men wear
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: your clothes. I have, and to see that extraordinary wanting
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to get inside of you is one of the things
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: that you know, not a lot of people can say.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I saw one girl who had your tattoo. I don't
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: know if she saw you. She had a tattoo of
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: your face on her shoulder. That was fast, Like, how
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: like to go to that extent put your face on
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: your shoulder from a show that was resurrected from the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: depths is something she didn't. She didn't get rid of it,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: you know, she didn't have it lasered off. It was
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: still there, right, and so listen, all I can say
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: is to come back like the show came back, and
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: experience it again for a second time, like the second
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Coming of Christ. I would say that this show could
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: go on for as far as I can see. I'm
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: pretty sure, so I can't see that far. But if
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I was on the Warner Brothers water tower, I could
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: see further. And I think that I, if I was
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: to guess, this could keep going for as long as
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: you wanted it to keep going. And that to me
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: is the root of it all, the core of it,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: which is the fans, which is based upon the stories
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you guys told, and the relatability of those stories, which
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: are timeless.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Assessment.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I think that deserves a round of applause from our honest.

• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Holy Grail movie? Yes, it's a good movie, funny movie.
• 13:27

  Speaker 2: when Arthur is trying to get people to join his
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: quest and they gallop across the land with coconuts as
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the horses correct and then they come across this night
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and he's in battle with somebody and he decimates him
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: and he stands because he's guarding this bridge. I'm going
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: somewhere with this story. And Arthur's like, join me, your valiant,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: good night off, I'm paraphrasic, but join me on my
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: quest to find the grail. And he doesn't say anything.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And he's like, but join me, sir, good join me,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: join me. He doesn't say anything. Tries to sims it
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: doesn't say anything. All right, whatever. He decides to cross
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the bridge with his posse and the Knight says, no
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: man shall pass. He's like, but now he talks and anyway,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: they get into a battle and Arthur cuts one of
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: his arms off and blood shoots out the arm and
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: he's like, all right now I'm going to pass the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: bridge and Arthur the guys the Knights, like no man
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: shall pass. He's but I just cut your arm off.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: He said, no, you didn't. It's a flesh wound. And
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: he keeps battling with one hand and then he cuts
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: his other arm off right then he cuts his legs
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: off to the point where he's then just a torso.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I know how he feels, and keep going.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: He's just a torso. And he shouts after Arthur, who
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: crosses the bridge without permission, get back here, and I'll
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: bite your knee caps on exactly.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I say this story.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Because my character is the main c I a dude
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: after reach of this season, and I go through many
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: many platoons, many many platoons of of of guys like
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: CIA dudes, and they all get killed and but I don't.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: But every in every episode, I get this crap beat
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: out of me.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: See what I sense for myself?
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: That's that's that's a slippery crap also known as diarrhea.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: But I every episode I get punished terribly, and it
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: gets worse and worse and worse over the course of
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the season. And that's what audiences can wait with baited
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: breath to watch me get I'm sure no one will
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: enjoy it more than you to see me received this
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: level of torture. But that's how I describe my character.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I went up to some of the writers and I said,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I told him the story. They went, that's exactly where
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: your character is. And I thought that was a really
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: great comparative.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: And this is season four, season four. I know you
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: coming back for season five.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Can't tell you that?
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I can't. I signed the thing that had the thing
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: about the other thing that said, don't tell.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Scott, don't tell people that you're coming back on just you?
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: And why was that just miss? I really don't he's
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: second on Helium lately. What's going on?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: When my voice goes up here, it's usually a lie.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: This is a fun fact. Fun fact.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Great, haven't you?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: We can talk more about my daughter?
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, right, go ahead. And so what's Ryan doing these days?
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: She's one of the biggest Gilmore fans in the year.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: She really is, right, tell us what she's doing now?
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: She's doing a lot.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Ryan's Ryan started her career kind of in around the
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: same time Clinton started. She's my daughter's really old. They
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: started at the same time. I don't even I'm questioning
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: now as I say it, if she has even my daughter.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know the math on that. But either way,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: my daughter was six when she started, and she had
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: a kind of kind of a cool story, which is
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: very different than a lot of folks. But her first
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: edition was her first three years on a TV series,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: and so she hasn't known. I think she has got
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: like thirty credits on her resume, and she may have
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: auditioned thirty eight times in her life. So she's only
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: kind of known this back to back momentum him from
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: a really young age, which is really cool. She's been
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the face of many studio pictures. She has been a
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: lead in Star Wars. She is an action figure. I
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: kind of am jealous of that. I thought, at the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: very least because I gave I didn't give birth to her,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: but I was part of it. You know. I thought
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: they could, at the very least just make it an
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: action figure of the dad Star Wars action dat figure,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: just being regular.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Perfectly reasonable request. I thought, yeah, request, I'm sure they
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: took it very seriously.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: They didn't. Anyway, I'm working on it. She's been a
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: leading Star Wars. She worked with actually Clinton and the
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: three of us, the five of us all met doing
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: a movie in Montana together with Nick Cage. It was
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Nick Cage's first Western. Clint's phenomenal in it. It was
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: actually the first movie I actually did with Ryan. And
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: also I think they felt sorry for me they heard
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: me talking about action figures and stuff. But my daughter
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: just came off of an incredibly wonderful fun series called
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: The Lowdown with Ethan Hawk, which I think is going
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: to clean up this emy season. She's lovely in it,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: and she is currently She shot the pilot this past year,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: the new Leads, the newest Slayer in the Buffy the Vampires.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: She's a new Buffy, She's the new Slayers.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I will never forget the time that you showed me
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: her audition for Star Wars Skeleton Crew when she was
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: eleven years old. Right, she was eleven years old, and
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: you showed me a five minute monologue that she did,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: and it blew my socks off and I wanted to
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: quit act at that moment because I just thought, this
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: is something. This is like watching Merle Straight before she
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: was Merle Straight. The choices, the command, the depth, it
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: was just scary. Actually, it's kind of scary. She's she
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: is a natural. She was born to do this.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: You've got a lot of it for me.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, like I said, when she was born to
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: be honest. You are a much sought after acting coach,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: you have, you train a lot of actors. I mean,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: it's like it's a bit it's a good side hustle
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: for you. It's kind of your used to be your
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: main hustle. Now it's kind of a side hustle because
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: you're you're working more and more as people are discovering, uh,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: the depth of your talent.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Well, it's it's kind of a like I I went
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: to school to be a lawyer, and I got into
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: the business in my late twenties, not even an entertainment lawyer.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I was wanted to be an environmental lawyer, way before
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: it was cool to say I'm into trees and water, right,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Like that's what that was my jam, right, And so
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: that's what I went to school for and then decided
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: somewhere along the way that I was going to go
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: into the entertainment industry as an actor. And everybody in
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: the world told me again, I was in my mid
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: late twenties. Everyone's told me I would never work because
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't have any experience. And two and a half
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: years later, I was starring on Broadway in rent and
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I don't sing. So that's kind of weird. It sounds
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: like a bit and it's actually the truth.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: That's weird.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: So I had auditioned for Broadway. Once I did the
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: show for two and a half years, that was my
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: only experience.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: So wait a minute, hang on a second. It was
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: just what.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Those are like top level singers and dance or that
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: there are in those shows, and there's they churn them
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: out like link sausages.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: A lot of people didn't like me on that show.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: With all due respect, how on joined the show?
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: But do you dance? And I know you are a singer.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: No, I know you're a singer, and you you got
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: some pipes on you. You know I've heard you singing rock
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: and roll. Yeah, but the dancing I was not.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Rent if you've saw it, there's not a lot of dance.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: My character on top of that, didn't dance. So because
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I can't dance, I would also argue that I'm not
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: a singer, but I could I when I hear things
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: and I can kind of recreate it all right, pretty
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: pretty well?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Well, well, I mean the show.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: There must be you know, the gift that you passed
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: on to Ryan, There's got to be something there.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Both had really good luck. We did. We like. My
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: first foray into the professional industry landed me in New York,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: which was kind of the top of the game by
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: whatever stretch and whatever miracle. At the same time, I
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: had booked a two episode contract on my first TV gig,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: which was a series called Queer's Folk, and that two
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: episode contract became five years for me on that show,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: and I was juggling for a good chunk of it,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: flying back and forth between New York and Toronto where
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: they shot Queersfolk for a long period. And then at
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the peak of all of that, I kind of pulled
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: the rug out from underneath myself right and started building
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: my studio. And the studio in Toronto, which is called
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Armstrong Acting Studios, has seen to date over thirty thousand actors. Wow,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: we've had that explains the yacht. That explains the yacht?
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, yeah, Paul signs suckers.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, Wow, No, not suckers, I have Uh, you know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I I put Miley Cyrus onto her for stuff. This
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: is a true st I work with her dad, Billy,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: on a TV series called Doc and that's where I
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: met Miley and I shoed her right through that whole thing.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Ne A dough brev I found put her onto a
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: lot of shows, but then Vampire Diaries and Nice. I've
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: got a pretty insane list of people that I've found
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: and that I built and then launched, and that for
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: a good decade before my daughter was born. I you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: when you have your own business, it's hard to grow,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: because you know, you can't pay people. When I look
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: at how much money I make an hour to talk
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: about suckers, it's probably two cents an hour when I.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: When I you know, I'm just ribbing your bodies. It's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the complete opposite.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Right, suckers. But no, No, the reality is, you know,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: there was ten years where I made zero money and
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: the whole goal of me building this studio was to
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: create an infrastructure and platform for talent, but also for
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: me to have a passive income later on down the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: road when I could pass off the responsibilities of the studio.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, today the studio has a combined faculty and
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: staff of six people. Really, we have about thirteen hundred
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: actors that go through every year. Wow, which is amazing.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: But I haven't been at the studio for at least
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: a decade. I have a smaller boutique studio here in
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles. I've got about one hundred and twenty clients.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: So you did the thing that I was trying to
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: do back before I got Gilmour. My idea was because
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: I was teaching, and my idea was to build a
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: studio and build it out, Yeah, and have a couple
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: locations or many locations.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Well, here's what happens. So the goal was to put
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: all this time and energy and love into something that
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: would enable me to then come back to the thing
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: that I originally fell in love with, which was acting.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: But then my daughter was born. So what ended up
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: happening was I hung up yet my hat again to
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: be there for her, which I remember. The first time
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: that she booked her first five month job, people are like,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: how how are you going to hang up everything in
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: the studio and you know, are you going to get
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: back into acting whatever? Whatever, whatever? How are you going
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to do this for five months? I went, five months
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: is nothing, I said. I think most parents would agree
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: that they would give their lives for their children, So
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: what is five months? But then five months became ten
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: years for her, and we're just at that juncture now
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: where she's turning sixteen and she's writing her California proficiency
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: test to be legal eighteen. So I can actually, all
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: of these years later go back to the thing that
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: made me the happiest when I first on the stage
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: in New York, And now she can do her thing
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: without me.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well she's coming into town. You'll be reunited it's
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: gonna be a lovely thing. And uh gosh, come back,
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: you come back tomorrow.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I'm actually already on the list tomorrow.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Oh during the big like.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Eight ages come there's a lot of rain coming. You're
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: gonna get great seats.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: You could bring the yacht.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: They said you're gonna have the You're gonna have free
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: reign on the lot. Is that something I meant after
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: you get there, you're going to be here. Yeah, okay,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah, so but I mean, I know you want
• 27:38

• 27:44
  Speaker 3: No, no, nothing, nothing like it. You're she's coming in.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: You're gonna go off and do a vacation right with Ryan.

• 28:49
  Speaker 2: don't know how. It came up at some point, and
