• 5:04
  Speaker 1: like they do this a couple of times a month.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they sure do. It's exciting. It was so exciting.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, I had never been to one that was
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: my one and only. At this point, I hope I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: get to go to another one, maybe yours, but no, gosh,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: it was such a tree.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'll be lucky to get a crack on the sidewalk,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you know, busted sidewalk down somewhere in Cooma, right, maybe
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: not even Hollywood. You know, I'd like to have a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: walk a Walk of Fame crack, you know, dedicated. That's all.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Well they did. They also do it in Palm Springs.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: They really I don't need a whole square. I could share,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you know, it could be a complex crack and I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: could share it with others maybe you, you and me.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, me, you and the gang. But okay, so
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: we sat down.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: They started the ceremony, yes, which was really well tight
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: put together. The only one you could see it was
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: on the Walk of Fame dot com. And then they
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: claimed that they said they had over ten thousand people
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: watching it at the very beginning. There is that right now,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: They're like, we have ten thousand live viewers. Wow, whoa.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: And then I think Sam started and then Amy came
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: up and gave really a fun speech.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: It was like just her brain like firing on all cylinder.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: She started to read her phone, you know, she wrote
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: some things, but then she just went.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Right, she went off script, she said, script, she started
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: reading that little tiny print.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and told some really funny stories. Yes, yes, And
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: then how the casting of Loralai happened? That amazing? Do
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you remember that?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like they couldn't find the girl, the right girl,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and like forever Lauren had a contract, she was committed
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to another show, yield another show, and it was on
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: vacation and she didn't you know, Cassie people told her
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: about Lauren, and Amy said, no, I don't want to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: see her because she's not going to be available, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: if I fall in love with her, then I won't
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: be able to have her, and then I'll I'll murder
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: somebody and then I'll you all be accused of committing murder,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: not me or something like that, right, you know her
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: hyperbolic way of speaking, right.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: So and WB Network at the time, Oh yeah, we're there.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And then they couldn't find the right Laura line like
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: they had found all you like before. So when they
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: found her and then she went in and then they
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: fell in love with her, and then she luckily got
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: out of that other pilot like totally got out of it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: You all went to Canada to shoot correct.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we went to Toronto.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is way different than Warner Brother's backlot.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: And way different, way different. Uh huh, you actually need
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a jack there exactly. Like it's got real weather. You know.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: She told some really great stories. She was presenting the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: portion of the star, and then the Hollywood Chamber of
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Commerce head came up. I forgot his name. Very nice gentleman,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and like then they did the whole star lifting, which
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: is very like like the reveal is so like, yeah, showy,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: it's no business.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: They have a wooden star and it's got five pieces
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: of rope attached to it, and all five pulled up
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: on the rope.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: And they pull the rope up and heavier.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Than they thought and getting cement all over their shoes
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and things like that.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Right, the name is revealed and it's like oh, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: then I think Lauren came up and then she got
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: really emotional too about the whole and can I tell
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: you to red on the red carpet? Red on red
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: is stun.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of it's very star worthy. Oh yes,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you know that's like when you compete with the red
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: carpet and win. That's that's like a sign, right that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: they got it right that time, right, score right.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: And then YouTube got together for photos right after that reveal,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: which was oh nice. The fans went crazy.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: They did they really did? They really they love seeing
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: us together.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they love it. You reunited and it felt so good.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So what stood out for you the most, James, at
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: any moments that really capture the spirit of Gilmore Girls
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: or Lauren herself.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Lauren herself just how gracious she was about how the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: show really you know, was a part of this ceremony,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: like it like most of the fans like they called
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: off like the Parenthood and this and Bad Santa and
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: like different movies. And then but the crowd when they
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: said Gilmore Girls was just like like just like so
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the show is like exactly why this star happened, right,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you know? And that really hit home for me too,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: which was so nice.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: So back in your early days working at Warner Brothers
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: together with Lauren, did you ever imagine she'd be getting
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a star on the Walk of Fame.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I never, I never thought I but I never I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: would hope for that. I'm always hopeful, like because I
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: worked on Buffy the Vampire Slayer too, and I was like,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I hope Sarah Michelle Geller gets a star, you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: things like that. So and the same with Dawson's Creek,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: James Vanderbeek, maybe, but everyone was so young and like
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the stars were not going out to super young people
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: at the time they.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Were, did James gelt One? I don't think So it's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Sarah get One.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure because she has.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: A nice body of work, right, right, so.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Pretty sure. I'll have to look. But what was it like?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I what was I reading? It was like so many stars,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Like it's like two thousand something. Forgot how many there were,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: but she's like twenty eight hundred and something.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: So right, Well, here's a question that the staff prepared.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I think it's for me. How has Lauren impacted your
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: own career for the way you approach acting? You know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: what Lauren confirmed for me, James, is that I was
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: on the right track and how I approach the work,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that how I approach the work, that you know, my
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: particular style and my particular discipline of approaching the work
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and the rehearsal process, and how important that was to me.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It was also important to her, So our our sort
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: of preparation and workhearsal styles were similar. So I thought, oh, yay,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: this is going to work.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: And you took that with you to your movies and everything.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, everything I do. Yes, And it's always a joy
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to find somebody. And you know, the entire cast that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls was like that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I heard very collaborative, very.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Collaborative, like study group and then truly.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, but I mean people like when they they'd
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: fight for their choices, you know, and and they justify
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: them and they'd argue, and it's like, yes, that's what
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you want. You want that spark, you know, you want
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the ideas to fly around and bounce off the walls
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and and best best idea wins kind of kind of deal.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: So that it was just such a raw, alive atmosphere
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: all the time. It was just it was just fantastic. Yeah,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and you had some may have to work in that way.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So so that's really what how she approached the work,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: how I approached my work, how everybody approached the work
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: on that set is is you know you're in the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: right place. Yeah, you know, you know you're in the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: right place with the right people, and you have, you know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: a creator and Amy and Dan sitting back and letting
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: it happen and the writing and listening and like you know,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and then you know, you know, not trying to dominate
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: everything all the time, just letting us work it out,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: you know. So it was just great fun.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I worked on Friends too, so and then sometimes if
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: a joke didn't hit as funny as you, as the
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: crowd and the audience thought it would, they would rewrite
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: and the actors would learn it like that.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: So Dan and Amy were there a lot. Did they
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: are all the time? Probably? But did you ever have
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: that with Lauren where you would have to have like
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: you did the scene and then they're like, this could
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: make it a little funnier or a little more serious
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and you'd have to rewrite and learn it that fast?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Or was it always just so too often? I don't really.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: We would get rewrites very early in the morning in
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the makeup chair, like stick am. We get rewrites. Sometimes
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: there were long rewrites, so that the whole scene was rewritten, reconceived,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and they just handed to you restressed. When that happened
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: first time, Yeah, like the first week of shooting at
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Warner Brothers episode one or episode two. You know, pilot
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: was the first episode. Second episode was shot at Warner
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Brothers and Burbank and everything else after. Yeah, they throw
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a ten page scene at us at six am and
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: our set call or no, no, I'm sorry, six forty am,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and then our set call was seven o'clock. So we
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: had twenty minutes to learn ten pages and we did it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you guys were just that.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Good, Because because we had to when we didn't have
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: a choice, you know, so we just we just worked
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: at work. It worked it and and then.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I hear it's like a muscle, like if you learn
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the line and you just keep going, it's just like
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: easier to like take in the information, retain it and
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: then trying to forget it after that.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's in the writing and in the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: rhythm of the writing, and it always was very rhythmic
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and very musical and kind of easy to remember.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, back to the star. Yes, who did you sit by, Kelly?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, Kelly, Kelly and Matt. Yeah, Kelly and Matt.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, right there in the front row. I had
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: a front row seat to it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: All, I know, right next to all the like paparazzi,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: the camera people from like Extra, they were there. How
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: did it feel to be reunited with Lauren?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: It was wonderful. It was wonderful. It's like no time
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: had gone by. She didn't recognize me, you know, because
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: they had a white beard and I had lost some hat.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: She said, I'm sorry, who are you?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Did she really now?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: It was really nice to see her. It was really
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: really nice to see her.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Well. I was sitting in the back row, and it
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: was fantastic because I didn't know who I was sitting by.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: It was agents and things like that through all her years,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Lorange years, and I ended up sitting like right behind
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: like someone else. I really admire Connie Britten.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Connie was right there.
• 16:23

  Speaker 2: but we still had it was a block and a half, y'all,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: but we all had to take car to get there
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: because the street so full of people that you couldn't
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: buy easily. So we got cars, went down the street,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: went on top of this rooftop. I took a picture
