• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I was talking to Jared, and I always think I was.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Supposed to book me, but they opted for the bells.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: That tomorrow night, Tomorrow you right, Lynx Bells. I was
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: talking to Jared, and I've always thought about Milo and
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: myself and and Jared as a unit, all connected together.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: So I love Jared, I love Milo.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: And part of the fun of the show is having
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: the teams, you know, and and part of that of
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: who's the best in your eyes for for Rory, because
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: it's it's a Gilmore girls, this is this is all.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Let's just I mean, whose team, Whose team Rory? Who's
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: team LAURALI everyone, right, So it's about the girls and
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: and so I look at that as a unit. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: so when I was talking to Jared, it was fun
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: to just say that that we've been through this and
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: the fans have created this journey of the connection between
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: those three characters, and so on a personal level, I
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: just want to give a shout out to Jared and
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: Milo because they're amazing.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: They're amazing, and you know the thing about Jared Is.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: He was eighteen years old when he was on this set,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: fresh out of high school.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And here he is on the set of Gilmore Girls.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: He had no idea what he was getting into, or
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: maybe he did, and his work was sterling. Just a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: terrific actor at such a young age and such a
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: nice kid. I only had to take him into the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: alley and threaten him a couple of times.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Because his head was getting really big, and that's it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: But that's it.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: After that he hopped too, But yeah, just a terrific kid,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: very tall, incredibly tall for an eighteen year old, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: just as charming as he could be. What are some
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: of your best memories of working with.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Alexis?
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: You know, I love the Life and Death Brigade stuff.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah that I love.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: I love the Life and Death Brigade stuff. I mean,
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: Logan had this adventurous streak, and.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: You know, I think that that's what he brought out.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: In Rory in terms of of that push yourself, you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: whether it be work or whether it be your life
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: or you know, we're we're not here for that much
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: of a time.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: We're here for a short period of time.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: And I felt that, you know, Logan was this guy
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: who felt trapped in a lot of ways because he
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: felt he had to do what he needed to do
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: for his family business, and so the life and death
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: brigade for him was this outlet, this incredible outlet to
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: jump out of planes and get injured and and do
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: these crazy things in parties, and to push her also
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: in a real way in terms of her career. You know,
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: she wanted to be a writer. And I love this
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: one episode with Logan. It was in season seven where
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: he was saying, I don't want you to factor me in.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: I want to factor you in. And that episode was
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Hail Bail Mays.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: And I just feel like, eventually that's where was the
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: best of what Logan was of pushing Rory to be
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: her best and to take this time in our lives.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: And I want to say this to everybody. You guys
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: are here and I don't know where you've come from.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: You've come from all over, I'm sure, and it's just
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: you made a big effort. You spend a lot of money,
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: you watch the show, you spend the time, but you're
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: doing something that you're passionate about and that you love,
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: and you're here and you're having this incredible experience, and
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: you did that for yourselves. And I think that that's
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: what I love about life, is when people do what
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: they want to do when they live, listen to themselves,
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: inside of themselves and who do you want to become?
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Do you want to be a great mother, a great father?
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Do you want to have kids? Do you want to
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: be a doctor? Do you want to come here? All
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: those things? I think of what you want to do
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: and follow your passion. That's a great life lesson And
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: that's what I loved about Logan and that's those are
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: the scenes I love the most with Rory is when
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: he got a chance to do that and push Rory
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: in that way, especially through the life and death brigade stuff.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Do you keep in touch with the Lexus at all
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: if you run into her at any point?
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Now, I haven't seen her in a long time.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: She's very private person and good for her, you know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: not falling into that typical Hollywood trapp. Remember she was
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: eighteen as well and didn't know what she was getting into. Uh,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: But she was so perfect for the part. She was
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: such a natural actress. You know, you could barely see
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: her acting. I mean, she just had this wonderful, fluid
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: fluidity about her acting so natural.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I marveled at it. I I just loved.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Watching her and continue to love watching her. Now you've
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: gone on to other things. You were were on the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: with the Amy Amy Amy Brenneman.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Show, The.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Or No, the Good Wife, the Good Wife?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, the Good Wife, and then you moved on to
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: The Resident. Tell us what it's like coming from a
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: show like this, and then perhaps and you were a
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: series regular on The Good Wife, weren't you for a
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: number of seasons?
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Seven seven seasons?
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: So tell us what what was the jump like from
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls to The Good Wife? And then we'll get
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: to The Resident too, But what was that like?
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: Gilmore Girls was just an incredible training ground, you know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: in terms of the material, in terms of the pace
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: that everybody loved. Amy and Dan's writing is just incredible.
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: You know, everything starts with Amy and Dan and their writing,
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: and and just in terms of having that foundation and
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: the pace of the dialogue is very, very tricky, and
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: so when you go to another show that makes it
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: a little bit easier in terms of when the pace
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: is kind of normal, that that helps a little bit.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: But did you did you ever because the next show
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I went on, I was going so fast. They were like, cut, Scott,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: what are you doing?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: It's like, why are you going so fast? Said? Sorry, yeah,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I just came from the show because we know. But
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it's like slow it down.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, let it breathe a little bit,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: you know, But did you experience that at all?
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: You have to find the balance of it, because I
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: think that that that pace, of course, is great to
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: have in certain scenes. And obviously it depends on the
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: circumstances of those scenes. But it's easier to go slow
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: than it is to go fast, that's for sure.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it was just in the show.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: For me, Gilmore Girls was really my first big job,
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: so I was learning so many things along the way
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: in terms of just basics of hitting my mark and
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: lighting and you know, learning material and all of that.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: So it was a it was my first real big job.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: So then to kind of go to those next next
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: places and and and but it's always Gilmore Girls is
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: like the foundation for me, that that fundamental, beautiful piece
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: of my life when I had my first job and
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: said okay, well you know, maybe I can do this thing.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Amazing that it was your first job, because it was
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: just high level acting and one of my favorite scenes.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And when I leaned forward and went, wow, that kid
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: can really go.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Is that that huge argument in the house with your
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: dad when you were there with Rory and what was
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: it supposed to be?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Was supposed to be? Uh nantucket right?
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And the lobsters and the whole deal, and Okay, that
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: fight scene between you and your dad I thought was extraordinary.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about that.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Because that was just like, that's the kind of stuff
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: you see on Broadway and people get nominated for Tony
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Awards because it's so fast and it's so so elevated,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: and the and the anger and the father and son dynamic.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: It was just brilliant.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: No, well, that's that's very very kind of you to
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: say that.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I really look a very tough critic.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: Well that's well, that's very very kind of you. I yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: I think that also was thinking about things today. And
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: another scene kind of that had that elevatedness was when
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: Logan and Rory are in a fight in a bar
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: when Jess is there. If you guys remember that episode, Yeah,
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: they're they're very similar in terms of I think as
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: an actor you try to look at Okay, where's that
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: coming from? You know, in this character's life, And for Logan,
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: he says to that to Rory, he says, you know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: you think I have all these options, but I only
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: see this one door and I'm being pushed through it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: And so for him in his life, maybe other people
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: thought that he had these amazing opportunities, but it's not
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: opportunities that he wanted. He felt like he was predestined
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: to have to go this route. So I felt in
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: those kind of scenes, then that's where the anger's coming from,
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: and that the audience can connect to that because they
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: see somebody who feels trapped or can't live out their
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: own life. And so that, you know, is just deep seated.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: I've never been able to say this to my dad.
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: I've never been able to say this to Rory. I've
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: never been able to tell people that I'm just So
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: it just comes out, and then it comes out in
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: the way that is connected to the stories and connected
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: to the characters. So that's just how I go about
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: in terms of the character's thoughts.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: High high degree of difficulty on that dive for a
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: ten meter platform and diving parlance, that's like a triple Lindy,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: you know, with a with a gainer and a.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Couple of backflips. I mean, incredibly difficult stuff.
