• 0:44
  Speaker 1: are you doing? Pal?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well, Scott. Good to see you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Good, good good. Emily and Laurel I and Peyton? What
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: are we think in here? Emily invites Laurel I to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: an auction for her society, Matrons League and Antiques. Shell
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: wants to go. There's an auction, there's all kinds of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: things happening. John Hamm shows up. It's total in Sanity's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: drinking wine. I didn't know John Hamm was a wine
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: drinker that that early in his career. So she meets
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Peyton at Emily's event. Should she have been more cautious
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: about pursuing this turkey? He turns out to be a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: real dud? Was this a careless oversight? Colin? In your estimation? Please?
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: No?
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Come on, it's John Ham, dude, Like, why would you
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: How could you say no to John Ham?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It was a huge day. No, you just say they.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Madmen and Don Draper. So it's cool to see him
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: in early version of him before he got his big break.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: But no, man, how could you say no to to
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to charming Peyton slash John Ham?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I was named Peyton? What Peyton Sheridan Peyton Shell? Peyton
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't I can't remember something Peyton Sherwood yeacked at anyway, Uh.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I don't believe her though, I from how he met
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: her at the bar. I mean he's got his jet,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: invited her to David Bowie. I mean, I I have
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: a sneaking suspicion that he wasn't the drip that she
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: made him sound out to be.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I think you think he tanked it on purpose because
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: he didn't want to see her again.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe it was because she talked so fast.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's sacrilegious, really to say something like that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You better be careful, man. I know, no, but you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: know it's a it's a it's a possibility. But I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: think I think by the way she look they just
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: they didn't connect. I kind of believed her.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean she she has so much charisma. She
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: is more of a I mean, how can you not
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: fall in love with Loralai? Obviously she's got she's charming,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: she's beautiful, she's she's witty, she's cute, endearing, and I
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: could see where Peyton probably being a little more of
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: a upper crust kind of a stiff where it wouldn't
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: necessarily work out. But here's the thing, you know, there's
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the physical attraction. So obviously they look good together. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I think this is what happens in relationships, where you
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: physically fall for someone and you kind of overlook some
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: of the things that maybe are red flags in the beginning,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: but because you're so attracted to them, you overlook them,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: and then before you know it, you're in a relationship
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: physically and not speaking from experience or anything, and you're like,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you wake up one day and you're like, maybe I
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: really don't know this person as well as I thought
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I did. Even though they are beautiful and I'm attracted
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: to them, some of the things that are coming out
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: of their mouth are not so attractive.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: You know what. She was just too smart for him.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: He couldn't care. Probably all right, So Laura I cantinues
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to fight for her independence from Emily and Richard's world.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Do you think this reassures why she separates herself from
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: their community?
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: You know it was. The episode raised a really good point,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: and I really liked the way that Loralai brought up that, look, mom, dad,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: it's nothing that I'm doing intentionally to hurt you guys.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I'm just I went on a date, Like why are
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: you putting all of your baggage onto me? And I
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: think that's a very common thing where parents have maybe
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: certain expectations about what we do and what they think.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: We should be doing.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: But I honestly I thought it was I mean, I
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: could see both ways. I think it was unfair that
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: they put that kind of onus on Lauraai when she
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: was just trying to go on a date. But I
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: could also see in certain circles where there's a protocol,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: like her father said. And what I did like about
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: what her father said was your mother drinks gets her
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: tea first, and she's used to getting her tea first.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: And I don't understand her world. You may not understand
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: her world, but because she's my wife, I am damn
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: well going to make sure that my wife gets her
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: tea first, And I think that is what maybe is
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: missing in a lot of relationships.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Do you think Laura Lean was being selfish by not
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: considering Emily in the first place.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I think her parents should have have talked to her
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: at dinner when she first asks for the phone number.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I think her mom should have said, by the way,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: if you do go out with him, please keep this
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: in mind that his mom is in my social circle,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: and so please, whatever you do, just be polite and
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: know that if if anything go sideways or whatever, this
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: may have a detrimental effect. Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But wouldn't Laura I already assume that because Peyton was
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: on we know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: What happens when you assume.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a tight little circle there with
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the people that she invited, those are all our friends.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Did your parents ever place expectations on you that you
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: thought were unrealistic.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Not only every day twenty four to seven? Yeah? Yeah?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: And did they communicate them clearly to you or were
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: they just assumed?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Oh? No, they were very specific about what they expected
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in terms of grades and behavior and social behavior and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: even you know, behavior at the dinner table. Sure. Yeah,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: yeah mm hmm, yeah, yep. And you have kids, right,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: uh huh, I I have a son I do.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: And do you feel that you guys have open communication
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: and where you can clearly oh god? Yet absolutely yeah, yeah,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: they're you know, kids.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to teach him, yeah, and then they
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and he's teaching us, I think more than we're teaching him.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: But I think some parents only teach when they get
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: angry at their kids after they've already done something wrong.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: And it's like, well, I'm a kid. I didn't know
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: or I kind of like, yeah, you know, don't yell
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: at me, teach me, like right exactly.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, so yeah, so she she made
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a simple decision. She didn't happen. Why waste time, not
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: going to force it. We're done the just causes the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: usual loo kerfuffle over at the Emily's house. All right,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: now we have Dwaite. What'd you think of this guy
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: asking her to you know, the water lawn and water
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the African geraniums whatever they were called, go inside the house.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Spent thirty minutes a day doing this for this guy.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Didn't even what do you think of this guy's a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: little too much of an imposition, would you have done it? Oh?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Man? I felt for her because I guess I feel
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: like I've been in that situation where you reluctantly say
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: yes to something and then they just keep asking for more.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: And a certain point when it came to the going
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: inside the house to water the plans or when he
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: then asked, I need you to water the lawn three
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: times a day instead of ten by myself on my own,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I probably would have said, you know, listen, dude, this
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: is a little ridiculous. But you know, Rory being as
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: sweet as he is, that's why it's great to have.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: That's why it started people around you who are like,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: you know what, let's just do this.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Just think of the lie ability inside his house though,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I mean they didn't sign away, he didn't sign a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: waiver again well nowadays, yeah, you know, right, exactly right,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: something happens to somebody inside the house and it's trouble
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: but good stuff. And I think you know the setup
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: for that was just to get just to get soaked,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: run into h Jess and have Jess come in and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: have that scene.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: And I loved how he turned the sprinkler back on
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: after he heard that. Who was the other kid that
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: was going to come home and help Dean.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Dean the boyfriend.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and uh, I guess yeah, I thought that
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: was Milo. Then Amilia and I had to go watch
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: the credits or at the beginning rewatch it to make
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: to see if it really was him. But yeah, it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: really cool to see actors get their start on Gilmore Girls.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, Gilmore Girls was one of the first major
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: shows that I ever was on and just blessed to
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: have been a part of it. And was that the
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: fan event that you and I saw each other again?
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Was that like two months ago in New Milford, which
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: is great. So just very honored and blessed to be
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: a part of the Gilmore Girls community. I will say though,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I was curious to see if John Ham appeared in
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: the next episode because she agreed to go on the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: next date with him. So I was thinking that, Okay,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: well let's see the David Bowie concert and then it
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: was nothing like John hamm and Peyton was. It was
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: just an afterthought, like what was he even brought up?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Peyton Sanders Peyton s Yeah, yeah, they can't go to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a Boie concert thing. Imagine the royalty payment that I
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: have to make for Franny Bowie song.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was just like it was very I
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: was very curious, why just all of a sudden.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't tease me with Bowie and then and then
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: right exactly. I didn't like that at all because I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: knew there wasn't going to be another I knew there
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to be a Bowie. So you don't tease
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: a Bowie concert and then deny people of Boi concert
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that that in itself, I believe that's actionable and I'm
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: consulting my attorney anyway. You know, you think Dwight fits in.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: He's a quirky kind of guy, right, he kind of
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: fits right in there. And uh, you know, Bett liberally
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: like giving him loreleized cell number. Thanks a lot. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you know that's that's the charm of the show, right
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: m hm. You know who stole the whole episode for
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: me was that giant fish at the end when when
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: it was just like listening to his ex wife's abusive
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: message and ran out of there, and then the camera
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: pans to the aquarium and you just see that giant
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: well I don't know what kind of fish it was,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: but it was just like staring at us, you know, like, geez.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: What I like the I like the cuckoo person like
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: that was like eight o'clock at the awayssince.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I've never seen a fish steal a scene that was
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: a scene stealing fish actually rewounded a couple of times
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and cracked up just what I did with my mornings.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: This is what it's come to. But I'll tell you,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: if it's going to come to something, it's a good
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: thing to have this show to make you laugh.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I liked your scene in the beginning when you were
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: complaining about the lactating lady at the table.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: You know, that was odd. That is so. And here's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: people ask me this question all the time, you know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: are you like Luke in this circumstance. No, not even close.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And I have actually intervened in public in situations where
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: somebody is giving a woman who's breastfeeding her child a
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: hard time about it, and I I'm I've stepped in
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and say, yo, back off, stop it, stop stressing her out,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and stop stressing her baby out. Just walk. You know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it really really pisses me off when people, you know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: get all offended, and it's.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Like, I agree, that just makes refer to your your performance.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I thought you were No, no, I know, but but
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I'm answering the fan question, like, are you like, look
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in this situation, it was uncomfortable to watch that. That's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the character, that's how he feels. Fine, but I don't
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: feel that way in any way, shape or form. You know,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: you got to feed your kid. You gotta feed your kid.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I mean it's the most you know, natural, natural, natural
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: thing you could do, is feed your child. I mean,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: how dare anybody try to interrupt that?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: You know, I mean just go to Europe and you
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: see it all over the place.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't get why people
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: are so. I don't get it. Yeah, providing nourishment to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a baby angers people. Okay, yeah, that's weird.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I'm offended. That's well, that's my own people say, oh
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: that I'm offended.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's your problem. Okay. So now laurel I
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and Roy are back for Friday night dinner after the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Peyton debacle. Emily is predictably cold with laurel I now
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: because all her hopes are dashed of maybe traveling in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Peyton's private jets to Maui as a as an extended family.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: For some birthdays or weddings, who knows. Laura Lai actually
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: apologizes and she explains that she had a bad time,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: but she's willing to go to the Bowie concert. What
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: do you think about that? You think she should have
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: stood her ground or.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I think she did the right thing. Yeah again, I
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: think her parents should have.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Prefaced take one for the team before.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Even going on the date. Listen, Yeah, this is maybe
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: not a normal situation. Just please be aware of like
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: what happens with the dates so that h this was
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: avoided from the get go. But I did think it
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: was sweet. And I think this is what happens in
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: relationships where people dig into whether they think they are
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: right and they will not acquiesce and they'll just dig
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: their heels in. And this is where I think it
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: can cause major riffs in relationships and families. Whereas I
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: think Loralai shared with us a very important lesson that
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: if you really care about the people and your family,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: that sometimes you may have to choose between being right
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: and doing something that is loving for the people that
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: you care about.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well said taking one for the team, Right, She
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: took one for the team. Good for her, she did,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and she had a great last line, very funny line
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: she takes. She says, Yeah, what was her last line
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to tell are to borrow a sweater for the concert?
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Borrow Rory's sweater for the concert because she liked Rory's
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: blue sweater and she should wear blue more often, you know,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: in the first time they come in.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: What was the last she said? I think it was
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: a David Bowie lyric at the very end when she
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: grabs round, control the major town, control the major top.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Colin, let's talk about you a little bit. You're
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: in the season four episode seventeen Girls in bikinis, boys
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: doing the Twist, and we had you on a few
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: years ago. Talk about it. Yeah, And you've had a
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: lot of roles in TV shows. Is this one of
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: your fondest memories of being on set for a day? Absolutely.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I was new to Hollywood.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I think I was maybe twenty seven or twenty eight
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: years old, and my agent called me up that morning
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: and said, Hey, I'm sending you an audition for Gilmore Girls.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: It's down in I think it was like Manhattan Beach
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: or Redondo, And he said, the audition is this morning,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: and if you get the role, you're working today.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: No, I quickly printed a lunch. Oh yeah.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: So I was like, oh yeah, thanks a lot for
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: the heads up. But that's how TV and film works.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: It works very quickly, and as you know, and so
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: I printed out the sides and I jumped in, you know, shower,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: jumped in my car and driving down from West Hollywood
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: to to I think it was Redondo, you know, looking
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: trying to memorize my lines while I'm like making sure
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not running through red lights. And finally got down
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: there and I walked into where they had rented this
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: little motel right on the beach, and so they brought
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: us up to where the casting was and there was like,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it must have been like fifteen or
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: twenty other guys. So we're all sitting there waiting, and
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: one by one they brought us in and audition came
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: back out. And then it was one of those moments
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: where I mean it was it was magical because the
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: casting director comes out and she says, okay, everyone can
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: leave except for Colin. I was like, all right, amazing.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: This is cool.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: And then she comes up and says, hey, Colin, thanks
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: so much for your audition. You know you were great.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: But we have one more actor that's on his way
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: over here, so if you wouldn't mind just sticking around.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, I'm sitting there waiting, And it
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: must have been like fifteen or twenty minutes, and finally
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: this guy walks in. And I had been studying with
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: this acting coach named Chris Fields. And in Chris Field's
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: acting class, there was this guy named Dan and he
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: was like this more experienced, really good looking guy, super confident,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: like everyone wanted to be like Dan in acting class.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: And so when Dan then Dan walks in and I'm
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: just like, oh, I mean, I might as well leave
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: right now. Here's Dan. He's gonna smoke this audition and
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: I might as well just like head back to West Hollywood.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: So he's like, hey, man, what's going on. I'm like, hey, Dan,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: good to see you. So he goes in audition, comes
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: back out, and you know, he's got a smile on
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: his face when he comes back out and sits down,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: and then she comes back out and says, all right, Dan,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: thanks so much, Colin, you can go to wardrobe. And
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: I was like, holy crap, man, like so it was
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: it was pretty special and just to be on that,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously a hit show. So early on in
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: my career, I'd come from soap opera, but that was
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: my first I had done Law and Order SVU. I
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: played a mail escort. But other than other than that,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: not so much on my resume.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: And how did Dan end up doing? How's he been doing?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Did he did he book some stuff?
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: You know? I I think I saw him in an
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: episode of something else, but I have I've lost touch
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: with him. But uh yeah, I'm not I'm not quite sure.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he's I'm sure he's doing all right.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well that's a that's a great story. Yeah, you
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: had there, that was stressful for you?
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, how was your audition for Gilmore Girls?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Though? Pretty easy, breezy. You know, it was just to
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: be a guest star in the pilot. And I just
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: went in and did a scene. And you know, I
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: was supposed to prep two scenes, but there was a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: type all on the sides that said duke on the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: other scene. So I didn't prep it and they told
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: me to prep it outside five minutes, came back and
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: did it. Left. I wasn't. I felt a good vibe
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: in the room, right, you know, you know, you feel
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the vibe or not right. Usually it's like pretty awkward
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: sometimes you know, and it's like, you know, it's not right. Yep.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: But this one felt really right. The part felt really right. Whatever.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But I hadn't invested everything in it. I had three
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: auditions that day. I was running around town. I was
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: on the west side. I had to get back to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I was teaching an acting class. So I had to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: get back and I do the second audition, i'd do
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the third audition. I had to drive all the way
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: across town and bumper to bumper traffic. I was going
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to be late, so I I, you know, I didn't
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: really you know, I was just like I went in
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: there and I was a little impatient with him. I
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: was cool with him, but I was like, all right,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: let's go. I gotta do this. I gotta get out
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: of here.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: And so that was the audition that did they bring
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: you back to tests?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, it was just that was the only
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: audition I got on the back door. And then you know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: worked out on set when we shot the pilot, and
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: then they offered two episodes, and they offered four episodes,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and we just you know, held firm and said just
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: give us a deal. And they gave us a deal,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: so awesome. Bought a bing, bought a boom, right, yeah, yeah,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: one of those things. One of those things.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Do you miss the the in person auditions and doing that?
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I do, Yeah, I do, I really really do. I
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: just I just did an audition that I you know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you put on tape. Now. Yeah, so the first time,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and I've been doing this for a couple of years,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: right that this has been happening for for you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: five six, seven years now that you're you're doing it
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: on your cell phone. And but this last one was
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: for a Sydney Sweeney film and so I, you know,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I set up the camera and I, you know, I
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: put the wardrobe on, I did the whole thing. But
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: you know, you can do good work. It doesn't really matter, right,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: They just need to see the work. But I don't know.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And in a lot of ways, it's it's far more
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: convenient you get you don't A big chunk of your
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: day isn't taken. And uh, you know, driving and parking
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and sitting because it's always a long walk from the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: parking lot. It's one hundred degrees.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: You have to park at Warner Brothers Lot seven and then.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Crush right, take a taxi down bar Ham.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: And then walk through you know, giant studios to get
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: to the one little casting office.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, you pass like five movie stars and fourteen
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: TV stars and you feel smaller. And by the time
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: you get there, yeah, Paul.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: And a gladiator and a dwarf, and.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: You just it's it's, I don't know, yeah, like running
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: the gauntlet, right, yeah, it's like, well, then you get there,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: you're sweaty, you don't feel too good, and.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: You see seven other guys from hit TV shows and
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: you're like, I'm never gonna get right.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you know, I learned how to be you know,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: if if you're a little bit obnoxious in the room
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and you throw them off their game, you know you
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: can get the edge, you know. Guess you're kind of
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: loud and sort of happy. Yeah, you take one innocent victim,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: you said, I said, what's up?
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: How you you know, you just start chattering and everybody
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: just looks, you know, they give you.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Reach and grab potato chips out of there.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Right, you gotta have audition room game. Yeah right, it's
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: a thing. It is a thing. It is a thing, man,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: that's a it's a whole war.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: It's like, I'm getting this role, and I'm gonna jack
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: you up to get this.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Role, or at least I'm gonna make you remember me.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: How many how many times have you been sitting there
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: nervously waiting, waiting, waiting, and then some boisterous idiot walks
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: in right and he throws you off your gain? You
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: don't want to Oh, hey man, good to see you.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Bro.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Well you're looking wow, man, you look so handsome. And
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: what have you been dude, you've been working out?
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Wow?
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I'm like, shut the f up.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Just go over there. But he's in your head now,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and so that works that I was, that's intentional, my.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Head down, looking at my sides, pretending I was like
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: studying them so and I wouldn't even look at whoever
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: would walk in the room until I would walk out.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: And then cause, yeah, some guys just like to chit chat,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: and I think they literally do that to try to
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: throw you off your game.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Oh there's no question. Yeah, no, it's it's you gotta
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: have game. But no, no, no, I didn't do that on
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: that one on the on the Gilmore audition, it was
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: just you know, I didn't wait very long. They saw
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: me right away. That's good. Yeah, yeah, it was pretty quick.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: It's not like they were waiting for me or anything.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: But it was like I signed in and then I
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: sat down for like seems like a minute, and they said,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: all right, they're writing and I went in, Yeah, no
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: big deal, mm hmm.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I wish they were all like that, right. Yeah.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I started producing my own projects so they don't have
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: to do that process because it's just so annoying having
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: to audition and wait until you get chosen. So I
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: just produced a film in Chicago a couple of months ago,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: and it's fun being on the other side getting to
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: choose the other actors, and it's just amazing just watching
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: when actor submit, you can definitely tell the actors that
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: have done the work and have prepared and the other
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: ones that are just kind of like trying to figure
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: out the like have you read this? Did you even
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: look at this before you turn the camera on. It's
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: it's incredible, like how unprepared some actors are.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: But I understand, you know, auditioning is an acting, it's
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: just a it's a show. You just put on your
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: gun slinger. You're a gunslinger and you go in and
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: you flip the psychology and you take the room. And
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that's that's what you have to learn how to do
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: shots on right, because it's not about act I mean,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: it's like and if you're the if you have a process,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: if you have any kind of process in place, right,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: don't want to make choices right away, and you really can't,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: and you and auditioning forces you to make choices. And
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: that's why I was bad at it for for a
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: long time until I figured out, you know what, let
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: them see your process. Don't give them something complet lee,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: but let them see that you have a process, you know,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and that you have an idea here.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: So what would that look like for you?
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Going with my first impressions, like trusting my instincts, my
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: initial instincts when I read the script and then you
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: get a feeling, you get a vibe, and then something
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: happens when you just sort of read the dialogue you know, flatly,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and then you go oh, and then choices are kind
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of made for you instinctually. And I go with that.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: So how would you show them that process when you
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: walked in.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: The room, turn around, you tell them I just want
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to take a minute. Okay, yeah, then you turn around,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: turn your back on him. You count to about thirty seriously, seriously,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and then you turn around and you go all right,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I'm ready because now you have their attention.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: I would do that, just not that long.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: But that's oh yeah, thirty second.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's that's ballard.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it doesn't work though, like, okay, come on, it's like,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: do you mind we have a lot of twenty.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Other actors out there. Come on, and you turn around
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: to be not to.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Be anything, to get their minds off of the fact
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: that they have multiple offers out to big names. Yeah,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: whose agents are giving them headaches, and now they have
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to deal with you, a total unknown right when you
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: were unknown, and it's like they're not interested. You got
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: to get there. How do you get their attention? You
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: got it? That's the game. It's like, how do you
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: get their attention? How do you get them to focus
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: on you and stop thinking about you know, mister Superstar
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: rejected their first two offers.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I would do things like I auditioned for I remember
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Tarzan was being made at WB and I in the
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: middle of one of the scenes, I just did a
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: cartwheel and like landed to like to start the scene,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: like I was like, landing as Tarzan. That's great from
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: a rock and then and you can tell like they
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: all start smiling.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: That's fantastic.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you had to do something.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I remember, get that energy going.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: I brought a six pack of coronas to uh the
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: head of casting at Warner Brothers.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Who is it, Marian Dherty and for film or TV
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: for a film. I don't know if Marion was still there, not.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Sure if she's still there, but things like that because
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: I I auditioned for I think it was Badman, like
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: years later and she was like, she was like, thanks
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: for those six packs for the coronas. And I was like,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: you I go, you remembered.
