  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: In this episode, we gathered four actors who all have
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: played a waiter with one line.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: The art of the one line waiter role is something
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: that few actors but many try to master.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Whether you're a famous, famous, famous actor or somebody just
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: starting out, the trick behind the one line can make
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: some people very nervous, so it takes an absolute pro
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: to get through it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: It's time to see how you can go far as
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: a co star. Let's listen in. Oh, hey y'all to
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: see y'all.
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: Hey guys, Hey, Hi, how's it going guys?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 0:48
  Speaker 6: Wow, this is really nice to meet with people talking
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: sharp rate.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: None of us probably have acted together before.
• 0:58
  Speaker 7: No, I don't say we have.
• 1:00
  Speaker 8: I haven't had the pleasure.
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: Now we're getting the roles that uh the other people
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: are probably competing for.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Ye yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I bet we've gone
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: out for a couple of the same.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Parts for sure, for sure.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited and honored to share this space with
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: you guys today. It's so inspiring to be amongst, you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: a group of like minded artists who want to talk
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: about the craft. And you know, we could talk about
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the craft of acting multiple lines, acting as a guest
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: star or a lead all day, but we really want
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to talk about our craft, our chosen craft. And I
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: wouldn't choose. I wouldn't choose anything else. You know, one
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: line is the most powerful thing you could do.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, That's exactly how I feel about it. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: think there's so it's there's it's so misunderstood, it's so deeply,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: deeply yes, misunderstood, And it's an art form in itself,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: you know, booking that coast star. If people don't know
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: what a costar is, it's the people that you see
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: in film or TV that have under five lines and
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: play no importance to the overall story.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I read once that good design is invisible, right, And
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I think a good co star isn't invisible, I'd say,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: but I'd say is barely there so that Leo DiCaprio
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: can be there, you know what I mean.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: And there is an art to that. There's an art
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: to negative space.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I'd compare what we do to sort of like a
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: doula of sorts. You know, we are delivering the baby
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: so that Leo DiCaprio can enjoy his baby, his work.
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: Absolutely.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, we're living furniture, you know what I mean in
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: so many words.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're furniture that can talk.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: We're furniture that can tell you what something sounds like,
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: how people in the environment act or feel, and we're
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: we're good at telling you if the main character is crazy,
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: just the main character is like, the main character is disliked,
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: and most importantly in this specifically the waiter rolls.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: If the main character is nice to staff of different sorts.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Oh god, and that'll tell you everything about their character
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: arc is how this person orders a cup of coffee
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and how they are responded to by the staff.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I would love to get your guys's name so I
• 3:29

• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Did that seem get cut? Or is that in the

  Speaker 4: love it when you get a funny line.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I love it anyway. I but I originally started in
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: this industry. I had a one line waitress part.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: And the Godfather, Wow, what was your line?
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: I said, uh, lasagna here or to go? It got cut.
• 8:03

• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of waitress gear and outfits. I have the diner gear.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: I have it all, and I can do it all.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: How many waiter headshots do you have, honey, I have
• 8:19

  Speaker 8: See different types of waiter looks.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, I don't do the black tigh waitresses. I'm too slippery.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I sometimes I don't know if you guys. Sometimes I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: was asked the first black tie waitress.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: It was a steakhouse.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I think in Missus doubtfire when she's running between the restaurants.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: I was playing the role and I had to hold a.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Tray and that was the first time I ever had
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to hold a real tray in this prop department. Put
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a whole thing of glasses of wineglasses on that tray,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and boy was I a slippery girl.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: And that's the last time I played for black tie restaurants.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: But now I do mostly the woman behind the diner counter.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: You could see me in Riverdale season one. The kids, Hey,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I'm in the diner. And so that's what we call
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: uh reoccurring background acting where I do that a lot.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Where I am they want to show the town, right,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: they want to show there's a couple of people that
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: have done this on friends that are always in Central Park.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: They made a pretty penny me on the other hand. Now,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: but so I'm I'm in all the episodes of Riverdale
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: when they go to the diner, you'll see me.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: I hate to go back on this because you just
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: said something that was so interesting to me, and I
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: was curious if when you worked on The Godfather. I
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: love to hear the stories because it's so interesting to me.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: And I don't know if Francis Ford Coppola told you
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: about this, the idea that you'd go up to a
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: mobster in an Italian restaurant and ask if they wanted
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: their lasagna to go.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: Well, the the lion got cut.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't need to get to set, honey.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: You know, it was just a theoretical booking.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Your Candon is a booking. Your Canada has a booking
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: which you didn't get just.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: It started my career. And that's what I said.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I I found my my my actress as a waitress.
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: You know, I really found that.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: What part did they cut it at Believe it or not?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: The new show, the New Peacock Show, the Offer, there's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a little scene where they talk about cutting my scene.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: No, it's just theoretical.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: It's theoretical, did they Okay? So it's in the final
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: cut of the offer though, that we can watch on
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Peacock or is that also on Peacock?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: In the offer you hear one of the actors who's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: playing the rider, go, let's cut that part when she
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: asks for his lasagna to go.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: It doesn't make sense.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: That is me.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: They're talking watching it.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: God, we'll make sure that star meter goes up as well.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Don't do that after I would really love that.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: That would be awesome.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Can we talk a little bit of technique right now?
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, because I'm so interested.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: My version of art is trying to get inwards, trying
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: to figure this out grassss, the brain, the neurons, the process,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: the journey, and I'm just always living and thriving to
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: learn more about my fellow actors. You know, I want
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: to know what makes you tick and like how you
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: guys approach So maybe a good example, I can throw
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: you guys a line and you guys walk me through
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the process.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: Does that sound groovy? Does that sound good?
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: I'm head over heels.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: I love games.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, great, So the line is, let's just say you're
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: it's Breaking Bad and you go, here's your stake?
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: Is this the line you add?
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Yes, I was in Breaking Bad.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Wasn't a local higher They flew me in and my
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: my line was, here's your stake? So I would love
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: to see how you guys approach it, and uh and
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: and take that on and then I'll and then I'll
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: show you up mine.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: At the end of wow, I feel like i'm you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm imitating to the person who performed the art.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, and that's a lot of pressure. Well no, no, no,
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: it's not a lot of pressure. It's not it's not
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: a lot of pressure at all.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Okay, because it's.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Your process and every artist is different and every person
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: is different, so whatever you bring to it is going
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: to be right.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: So why don't you give it a try?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, I mean my first thought is, you know,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: here's your steak, here's your steak. Okay, well that wasn't read.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: You start, you didn't like?
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: Okay, you can't note the process.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: Can we sink some sort of code word that we
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: say the process, we're doing the process, and then when
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: we we we start doing the performance, we say the new.
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: Word about it?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, okay, okay, Well I'll say cut when I'm
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: doing the process and action when I'm doing the actual performance.
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: Follow, I follow it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: That's a language we can all understand.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, so cut when I get the line, here's my stake,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: here's your stake.
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: Sorry, so nervous.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I think to myself, you know, what has this person
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: been through before she delivers the steak?
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: Why did she not say, here is your steak, sir?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: That means that she's not at a black tie establishment, right,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: She's not someone who has to defer to her customers
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: in that way. But here's your steak, no frills, no
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: additional parts. That means that you are and that was
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: a cut, by the way, that was not a read.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: That means that you're someone who's no bullshit.
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: You have a daughter of yeah, seed her? And when's
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: your shift ending? I think it's ending? In thirty minutes.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: So with all that in mind, action, here's your steak.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: And if I could add a little improv on that,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: it'd be here's your steak?
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: Why did you think about that for a second?
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Wow?
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: And cut?
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: I have chills down my whole body. That was awesome,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: do you guys ever?
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Well know it was definitely better than your first read,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: definitely better.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Than Again, I feel like I have to he specify
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: that was not a read.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: Are you in acting classes? I loved watching you break
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: that down, thank you.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am in acting classes with my mother. My
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: mother goes to Leslie Khan and then she reports.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Back to me that's grat a second hand class, because
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: she says, listen, we both want to be actors.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: We both we can't afford to have both of us
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: go to Leslie Khan. So I'm going to take the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: information kind of like what happened with Santoslovsky.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: You know, you have these.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Students and then he brings it, did they start their
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: own schools? That's sort of what my mom is doing.
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: With all the modern technology.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: She should just put a GoPro on her and you
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: should watch it live.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: And in fact, Leslie Kan would never be that she
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: has well, she wanted to give me a full virtual experience,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: and so I do watch it, but through my mother's eyes.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Sometimes my mom, you know, she goes to the bathroom
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: and she has to be like, don't watch.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: Hold on tick, I think ashten. Wasn't there of hour
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: video that was acting? Teacher roasts student for wearing go
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: pro on a hand actual go pro.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: I saw that.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I saw that, and I will say, once I saw
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: the studio, I knew it was Leslie Khan, and then
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I saw Leslie Conn and.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: I knew it was Leslie.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: That's when you knew it was Leslie.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: Your mother put the go pro on her hat.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, and after that she did have to start That
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: was what we call the hat classes, where she had
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: to wear a hat over the go pro and so
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I could only hear the audio. Yeah yeah, but after
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: a while, would she let her guard down? After a while,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: and so we were able to get away with a
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: hat with a little hole in it so that the
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: go pro could see her.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: No.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a classic acting technique.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Teacher put her put her wall dock, put her garden dancy,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: stuck a hole in the hat.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Could just see it. In her face. Would you look
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: up at the hat.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: And she knew She looks directly down the barrel of
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the legs and goes huh and then continues back on
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: with the class. And it was interesting, you know, to
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: watch to work with that filter on, you know, because
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: it's not an immediate class. It's sort of like a
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: game of telephone to receive classes.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Can we hear your reading, Franco, I'd love to.
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: I mean the waiter.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Wow, Well, now I kind of get a little typecast
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: as a waitress. Who has I usually noticed that the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: calls they bring me in for it's the detectives at.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: The late night getting a steak, So that steak.
• 16:28

• 16:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you sound like my son. Okay, so.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, So so my process would be how many hours

• 17:57
  Speaker 1: coffee and going in and giving them the check. I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: give the check to my son so many times for practice,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and he goes, Mom, stop giving me these checks, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I go, of course, of course, I wouldn't.

  Speaker 6: started recently, you know, I well, not recently recently.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: I've been doing this. My show's twenty thirty years. But
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: I started it, you.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: Know, after my my wife and I, you know, my
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: son moved out of the house.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: He was an empty nester. My wife's I was an
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: empty nest.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Your son must he made to be an empty nester.
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: Okay, That's why I'm better say you the lines, because
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: sometimes I twist my tongue. I'm better at saying the
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: lines and saying my own words.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I got to.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Ask you because you know, when you recounted your process,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: you sort of just said the line what school.
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: Taught you to do?
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: That?
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: That was beautiful to just say the line, how many
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: techniques are here?
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Been to no school?
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, like I said my wife, you know, I
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: was putting around the house, and my wife said, you
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: gotta do something. You gotta get out and do something.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: So I was like, you know, I can sit around
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: all day. I can sit around all day at home
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: nagging on my wife, or I can sit around all
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: day on a movie set potentially get to meet Aaron Paul,
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: teach him how to you know, shoot a paintball gun
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: in the downtimes and stuff like that.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: So that's kind of how I ended up getting into it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: I don't really, it's just sort of you just sort
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: of walked right in.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: And just book.

• 23:01
  Speaker 4: I'm all I got. I ain't putting too much jail.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: That's so interesting because you know your generation, little lady, Yes,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: it feels like our generation. There's a lot of accidental bookings,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and it feels like your generation is it is all
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: about the book. It is like you guys are vultures.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: You guys are nuts. You're on all different social media
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: site trying to get jobs. You guys are nuts.
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: Yes, well, I mean all due respect.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I mean you you guys don't know the hell that
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: is monologue Monday?
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Where on Facebook groups? You know, we have to post
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: hashtag monologue Monday.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Self audition Tuesday, self tape Tuesday, yes.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: And self monologue thursdays.
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: Fuck me, what's Friday?
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: Friday is a free day.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Friday is free day, but you have to post free day.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: So yeah, you kind of do a performance of what
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: you interpret your free day.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: And what's that news?
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: So people you probably post something, you post a big video,
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: you're doing a really good self type and then you
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: get hit up by casting directors.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Not at all.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Usually I'm getting hit up by people that support Trump
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: and just comment used kind of my videos to use
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: it almost as a pulpit to go off on something.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Oh let's not go there. Let's uh.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I don't like him, okay, so wonderful to hear.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: I don't as an actor, he raised prices for acting
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: and I didn't like that?
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Okay, what else did you not like him?
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: When he raised the price to act?
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Are there other things you'd like about him?
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you he raised the price of acting.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: What way did he do that?
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: He raised Well, one he raised taxes and two he
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: went in and made classes more expensive.
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: He might not have done this with a sag because
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: he did it with sag.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: He did it with sack.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: He made a role that sagas to charge Like basically,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: any class that's teaching sagas actors have to charge more. Really, yeah,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: so my rate. That's what my acting coach, Linda Arnoff
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: told me. And you know classes now are like one thousand,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: two thousand.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: Dollars a month.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: But we're really learning and we're really diving deep into it,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: So you guys want to hear the.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Read that got it, dying to hear the got the race?
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Sure?
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Sure, so Linda Arnoff a cut cut. Linda Arnoff's process is,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: you know, one that goes deep into the soul.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: Of the character.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: It's all about the introspection, it's all about the work.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: So when I see a line like do you want
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: your stake? I immediately think Albuquerque Drug addict, probably some
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: death recently.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: And his father.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: That's not fair.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I would say that that's what Linda teaches. Albuquoque equals
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: drug addict.
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: That's not fair.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: And always, if.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: You don't have to speak for Albuquerque.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Don't Linda does. I'm sorry.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: I had a past lover live there and he was
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: a good man.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: And I've been and I've been in Albuquerque's lovely. But
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: it's just the method Charlie took. So nobody else interrupted
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: anybody else's method. Nobody else interrupted anybody on Albuquerque.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: You said, all people from albugery, and I saie.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I said, I said, Albuquerque on an audition equals drug addict.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: This is such truth that's happening right now. I can't
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: get over it. This is fascinating.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: And then she says, if you are a waiter that
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: doesn't ask a question, seems confident, somebody probably has died.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: So in my head, I go to the soul of
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: this character. I'm I'm searching, I'm digging.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting in front of a wall, staring in front
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: of it for two hours coming up with the backstory
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: of this character. And his name was Jim, his brother
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: and this is when we use ie statements, I'm jim.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: My brother just died in Iraq, just died in Iraq.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: So when I come to that stake action there's a stake.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: I literally spit. I literally just spit on this.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Mic that booked it, tears pouring down my face.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: You never know what an director's thinking, huh. You never
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: know what he's seeing. You never know what he's picking
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: up and saying.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: That I loved it. And that's I'll tell you. Linda
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: makes you book. I've booked four things already and I'm
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: ready to book the fifth. You know you're ready, and
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I'm emotionally present and I'm emotionally ready. And she always says,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: don't act desperate, So I'm ready.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: I got a question for you. Do you'll want more lines? Yes?
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes I would.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I really want more lines. I'd just like to be
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: vulnerable right now. Cut cut cut cut cut, because this
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: is processed. Yes, I desperately want more lines.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: I'm right there with you, sister.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: That's incredible.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Do you want to do a scene?
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Not right now, but later we could do a scene,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: get together a scene.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: I would love to work with you. Yeah, I be
• 28:01

• 28:02
  Speaker 8: You're such an artist. I would love to work you.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Seem like you've learned so much from those videos your
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: mom makes you watch. Yes, I would love to pick
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: your brain.
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: Watch they'll hook up after this.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: I love.

  Speaker 5: There's something about your energy.
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: About your enerday will there's.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Something about your energy.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Something'stry starts with energy and scene study and two minutes there.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: You're gonna stop saying that because I'm about to start picturing.
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be mad at me, gonna be.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: Talk about it too much.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: It's just what it is. Is. I feel like you
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: know what the truth is and you're going to bring
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: into every scene.
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: Yes, and I do feel that i'ming off of you.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, we gotta grab coffee.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: If we if we if we potentially got dinner and
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: picked each other's brains, what would happen is truth?
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: That would happen brains?
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, don't do that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: What did you do with my hands?
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: I made the motion for sex?
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's your truth, and that's your truth. And
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: that's fine, and that's what you're saying. But for some
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: of us, it's about the process and it's about the art.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: Some of us are just working, you know, we're just working.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: I'm working so much as exhausting.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: Where did I lose you? Guys? I am also about
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: to work, and I am also about process.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: We know art totally. It does feel like that.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So what do y'all do outside of acting? What
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: do y'all like to do other than acting? I got
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: a couple of horses I have.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: I'm part of the Elks Club, and I like to
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: go swimming on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: I got this really, really fun. I've started getting into
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: bouldering for for olders, of course, yeah, bouldering. We're calling
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: it oldering. So some young guys are bringing me out.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: That sounds extremely bolderess bouldering. You have to fall from
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: ten or twenty feet?
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: No, no, you got to climb down. That's what we've got,
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: the big mats. We bring our mattresses out. We go
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: out into the sandy mountains.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: Do you bring your mattresses to the mountains?
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you can do that.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: In Albuquerque, Aaron's got a mask, so you're just falling off. Well,
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: sometimes we ain't falling too far. We can go up
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: a little bit.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: Stunts.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: You should that.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: I can't join that Albuquerque Albuquerque stunt squad.
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: I don't have a lot of free time. I'm actually
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: I work a lot. Yeah, I work a lot.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: I have a lot of free time.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I was just about to say, yeah, yeah, I have
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: Of free time.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I have a collection of old year books from spanning
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: from you know, nineteen twenties to today.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: Of your books of yours, no no.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Relation, no relation to anyone I know. And I just
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: pour over these and I think of all the women,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: and every day I pick a different woman and I
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: try and tell her story.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: That's beautiful, how do you know?
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Really nice?
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: Who's who?
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Woman?
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: Sorry? Can we have a cut moment? I want to
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: hear this process?
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, me too, I really want to hear that.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Cut cut, cut, cut cut. So today's woman is Adrianna Marshall.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: She was a student at Rodford Elementary in nineteen sixty four.
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: She was a sophomore in this she had braces.
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: When does truth end and creating begin?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing. I feel like I am plagiarizing
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: from these women because I know their story so deeply
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: about that game.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: So I look at her, and I look at the
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: way that she's and I see something in her eyes.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: I see that she doesn't want her picture to be
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: taken fully that she feels a little awkward, and so
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: I give her a little monologue and it goes something
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: like this, okay, action.
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: Mother, please please let me off this farm.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: I wanna go. I wanna leave.
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: Your rent.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: I love well.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: My mother and I live together, not by out of choice,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: but not by out of necessity. We just are very
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: wealthy and it's a choice and we that works for us.
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: You're really wealthy, Yet she won't make you both taking
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: it glass. She wears a go bro under a hat.
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: So where what we call selectively wealth?
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: So the money can be spent in certain places, but
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: it's not allowed to be spent in certain other places.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Like I want to talk about that, that little monologue.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: We can go forward from that.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, sorry, it was beautiful.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: That was amazing.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: So what do you do?
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: What do you do? Who do you show it to?
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: What did you put it up? What's yeah?
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: I put that on Facebook?
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I put that on monologue mondays, And then I do
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: get there's this woman who runs the Facebook group and
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: she will comment all the time, you know, like this
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: is incredible. You have to message me. You should take
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: my class. It's an online membership. It's about six hundred
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: dollars a year, but it's super worth it because you
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: get access to all these incredible minds of the Facebook
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: casting director's community. And I haven't taken her up on
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: it yet. I'm a little nervous.
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: I've impost her syndrome.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Got to take her up on that. You should definitely
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: get in that class, you think so. I think that's
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: a great idea. Just like what you said, that sounds
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: like you can make a lot of connections to casting
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: directors and other people.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: It doesn't sound like a ripoff at all.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: It works differently, okay, crime, I can't give advice on that.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: Classes for me every time, you know, they don't they
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: offer acting classes, but you walk in there and these
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: guys are it's mostly.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: It's mostly like.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: Weird interpretive, you know, Santa Fe types coming in doing
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: artsy stuff.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: And it doesn't work for TV and.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Movies because you got people coming in and that's half
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: the that's at the auditions you walk in and everyone's doing.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: A little flower I'm on a little daisy little, you know,
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff.
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: We're doing more performance.
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: Art, a little archie, fartsy type, and you know that's
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: what we're not shooting Arcy fartsy in Albuquerque.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: We're shooting transformers.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: We're shooting, we're shooting breaking bad, We're shooting you know,
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: we're shooting.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Drug dealer gets caught up in the wrong kind of
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: business and then some guy goes, what was that? And
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: that's me a lot of the time. So that's kind
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: of different.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: So I wouldn't do classes, but that's because the classes
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: for me would be bad.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I understand and go ahead, No, I would just love
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: to know from everyone, what is the one line role
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: that you want that like you're dying to play?
• 34:46

  Speaker 5: that had been blown up and was about to die.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: I can't even talk about it.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: That makes me emotional.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Because I think what I'm constantly looking for, I mean,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: like my my day to day is the passion, the
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: grind and the work, you know, and those the things
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: I'm focusing on. I'm looking for opportunities to basically play
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: people emotional.
• 35:47

  Speaker 3: and feeling the emotion hard nipples, hard nipples, the hardest
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: you can get them.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I did take one acting class once I took. I
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: took Lady Gaga does a master class.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Now. She's so funny with all her stuff she does.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: She is so funny. I find her so funny.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Funny.
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: Oh, I forgot to say what I do in my
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: spare time.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I love to know about your life.
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: I run the Reddit page.
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: I run just all of Reddit.
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: No, I work it Reddit.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: You work at Reddit?
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: What do you do for Reddit?
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: Because I like freelance stuff.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Freelance? What kind of freelance?
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: Kind of like web design or No?
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: I impute. I input information.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Sometimes there'll be pages where there's not a lot going on,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: and they'll pay me a fee.
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: I've done this since I was twenty. It was it
• 38:46
  Speaker 7: was my day job when I couldn't.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: You go to kind of empty subreddits and comment.
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: And I fill them in.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Like last night there was the Buffalo wild Wing subreddit
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: and it was a dead empty and I just.
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: Went in there.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: Why does Reddit want people to be commenting on a
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: dead sub.
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: I just want they want more more claques.
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, yeah, that sounds like a great job. It's
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: a great side.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Huse you do. Might as well be speaking Chinese right now.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know what you're talking about.
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: Okay, I have a question for the dam dream role.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Of all time, dream film, dream story, dream director, or anything.
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: Tell me your dreams.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: Wow, that's heavy. That's actually a lot to think about
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: for her, that's really big.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Linda, my acting coach, says, I would never probably make
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: it that far.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: But wow, so yeah, maybe come back to me. So cruel. No,
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: it's good, it's good.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: That's so deeply cruel. I'm so sorry.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: No, it's not cruel, it's truth.
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: I don't like your acting.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: No, she's great, she really really, because what she does
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: is she regurgitates your own trauma.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: So she'll be yelling at you. What did what happened?
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: What's the truth here? What did your dad actually say?
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: And I would say, well in the scene, and she goes, no,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: shut the funk up, you imbecile, you tiny little squirmy boy.
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: What did you have your hands on?
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: Your hands on you?
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: It's her signature, Linda forehead.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: She grabs your forehead with you and they're pinky, and
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: she just presses against you and goes, look at me,
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: and you just start crying.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: And so you're paying even more so. Trump raised the
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: price of that class.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: The worst that Trump could do that he's a bad guy,
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: raising the I abhor the man.
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: I'm not got to grab coffee.
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: We've got to pick each other's brain.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Because if you don't like Trump and I don't like Trump,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I feel like we can talk about that because that's like.
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: Such a unique thing that we don't. You don't see
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: that all the time.
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: It's refreshing.
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: That's like that hacksh I'm picturing it exactly.
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: Has, which I find so funny.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: I'd love to talk about hacks.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: You guys.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: Seem I wouldn't love.
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: I want to be eBinder.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: Oh that's great. I'll play Jean Smart.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: Stacey's going to make me sleep on the couch tonight.
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: Could you imagine these du trying to thinking about it?
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: I dreams so I things that I dream about, you know.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: I I've always wanted to play sort of. I want
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: to play like a princess. I'll be honest, like that's
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: something I wanted to do as a little kid, and
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: now I want to be a princess.
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: I think that's amazing.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: But the problem is, I was watching one of my
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: mom's classes that she took home, and Leslie Khan told
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: my mom that she her age range is probably like
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: forty and above. And so I really took that lesson
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: to heart, and so I understand that I can't now
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: that's great, but Leslie Khan said it. Now you look
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: like you have to be onto the camera, as she said,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: you are too old to play a princess.
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: So she looked at a big top hat that your
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: mother was wearing with a hole in it.
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: Can I ask how old you are?
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I'm twenty five?
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: Okay, great?
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: How old are you?
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: I'm twenty four?
• 42:15
  Speaker 8: Wow, that's so refreshing to hear.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: That's crazy. You barely ever meet any toy like we're old.
• 42:21
