• 1:57
  Speaker 1: a gentleman by the name of Seawan. There you go.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Who was who? We became friends? I think actually in
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: um he and I have a bunch of friends, including
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: all of his brothers, and one of them is called
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: James Gunn. And James Gunn likes to hire his friends
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: whenever he can, so before he left the franchise of
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Guardians of the Galaxy, he wanted to have all of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: his friends and his relatives in the franchise. And so
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: he called me up and said, hey, you want to play?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And I said, oh sure, why not. I'll cancel my massage.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I'll be right over. That's funny. That's really great, really
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: really great. Um anyway, so let's get started. Let me
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: let's start off with how did you get the role? Well,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I had a really really um auditioned for Suki way back,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and and then also uh rose Abdu's part also Gypsy. Yeah,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: they loved you. They they they had to have you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: They loved what you did in the room. Did do
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you remember the Suki audition and it weren't really really
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: well for you, and you're disappointed that you didn't get it. Yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit. But then you know, when you see
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Melissa do it, you think, wow, well there it is,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you know. So um So that's how it started. And
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: then I just kept kind of coming in and doing
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: my thing, and this one just felt more like I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: could do it just because of the uh huh, I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: don't know why, uh something about it because you're all
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: such fast talkers and on screen, I'm not a fast talker,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and I thought, oh my gosh, I don't know if
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I can do this, and the fact that mostly I'm
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: hired for my reactions. I think that Bruce was probably
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the best role for me on that um so it
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: was offered to you didn't have to come in and read.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, I had to come So you
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: had to come in and fight for it. Good and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: glad you got it. Glad you got it? Um, thank you.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I mean it was hysterical you would play. Look, you
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: had plenty of television experience from before alimbeel picket fence
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: as you are. Well you talking about a little bit
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you touched on our PREVILEW what was it like joining
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: our cast? Well, the thing that I remember probably the most,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: besides goofing around with Melissa Um, was at the table read.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I was petrified, absolutely petrified. An intimidating room, isn't it?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Incredibly And I'm not happy anyway about those table reads
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: because there's always that fake laughter from the writers and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you always know which writers said which line and rowe
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: which line because they laugh the hardest. And Um, afterwards
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you came up to me and said, great job, great job.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And I'll never forget because I thought, oh, bless his
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: heart that he said that. Now I can feel so
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: much better and not be fired before we even start felling.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Just to add a little context that let me interject
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: these rooms that that you won't it, I mean even
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: for us. It was scary because you know, I don't
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: know if you imagine walking into a conference room at
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the c I A or the Pentagon or the war Room.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, these are these are really expensive tables, that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: really large tables. Everything is just set out with name
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: cards and the whole thing and bottle of water and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: pens and your scripted and then there's then there's another
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: layer of chairs behind the table. So it's like that's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: where the executives and the writers and and and the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: head of departments sit, and it's very very intense. It's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: very intimidating. You really want to put on a good
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: performance because really, even though they said you have the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: job and you are there and you have a signed contract,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that's still an audition that is not you don't have
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it secured because if you blow that table read, they
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: will recast. Yeah, it's it's over, man. So you got
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to deliver in that table read. And so you've got
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to be good enough to deliver the goods and the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: table read so that the writers don't go to to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Amy and say, you know that these are great lines
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: that actor really wontched it. You know we should. Yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: so so good on your family Um, so was the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: original plan to have you on for two episodes that or?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I think so, I'm pretty sure it us for two episodes,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: which was always fun because being a guest at somebody's party,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: which is what a guest star is. Um, you would
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: like to you know, come back and be at the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: party a little bit longer. Um because sometimes, as as
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it was with Gilmore girls, you worked so fast that
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: it would be one day and then you're out. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: so I had two lovely days on the Warner Brothers
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: lot with you guys, and everybody was lovely and um,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: but you work so fast, so fast that usually you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: have a you know, a wardrobe fitting beforehand. But Brenda,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the costume designer, said I'll just come in before we
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: got it taken care of. And I was out of
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: my mind with that thought. Um. But she was amazing
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and everybody was amazing. But yeah, you guys worked fast.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: We had a lot of scenes to do every day,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you know, so we had to get to him, man,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: we had to get to him. So so you were
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: doing your scenes with Melissa McCarthy and Nick Offerman, who
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: was also a guest star as well in your first episode.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Was he I think so and Nick. Nick and I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: were friends before that, and so when we found out
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that we were cast together, we lost our minds because
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: we thought, oh my gosh, we're gonna be able to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: play it again. And Nick and Melissa and I are
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: from around the same area, is that right? Yeah? So
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: while we were off screen, we were talking to Chicago
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: doing the Chicago Now. One day the wind stopped blowing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: We all fell down. Yeahs right, dish right, you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: two three wind guys, you know, and there you go.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: But uh so Nick and I were very, very excited.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: So when we were on we were on set, we
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: were like kids in a candy store. It was nuts. Yeah.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Isn't that wonderful when that happens? Yeah? Right? Yeah. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: your character Bruce, first of all, the name is hysterical.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Never cracked a smile during your scenes, and it was
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and it was hilarious the way you just say uh
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: huh and you gave orders to everyone around you. Did
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you have a hard time keeping a straight face and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: keeping it so serious? The only time, to be honest,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that I had a hard time keeping a straight face
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: is when I had to look into Nick's eyes, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: then I was I said, you know, don't don't make
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: me laugh, right now, do it right? But for some reason,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: once I was in Bruce for the for the most part,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I I kind of had that mindset that this was
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a very serious situation, very serious, right. Yeah. And also
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it helps that when my sisters and I used to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: play when we were younger, uh, we always talked about
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: how we couldn't break, we could not break, So I
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: had some experience with that. I mean, we dream, you know.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: The dream scenario is to work with people that you
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: know well and that you love and who can just
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: crack you up, you know, just by looking at you.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: But then that comes to bite you back in the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in the ankles when you have to do a serious
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: scene with them, and it's just very difficult to do it.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Very very true, it is, it really is. Um. Have
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you ever come across a woman like Bruce? You know, Um,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: my mother was a nurse and I went to visit
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: her one day while she was to her nurse stuff
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and she was Bruce when she was a nurse. And yeah,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and so I just went to my mother was kind
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of like tyme daily in a way, you know, super serious,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and you would just be so scared of her so intimidated,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and um, so I kind of took a little bit
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: from my mom. And yes, I definitely knew some people
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that were humorless because Bruce was humorless any kind of right.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: And and Lauren Graham is all about its all about humor, right, Yeah,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: so perfect. That was just a perfect I mean, you're
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: so right. I mean, you put Lauren against Bruce and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you're going to have like wonderful comedy produced from that. Um,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: how long has it been since you watched back the episode?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Did watch it back last night? Or to give yourself
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a little refresher or I didn't. I'm horrible, aren't I Well,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you don't need to. You remember very well what it
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: was like, you know. Yeah, so you didn't need to.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: So it's been a while. So it's been since maybe
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you know, eighteen years or whatever. Okay, I got you,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: it's een. Well you're busy, you got other you know,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you've got a lot of you know, you've got a
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: lot of irons in the fire man, you know, you
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: know who's got time. I mean, yeah, yeah, it's true.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: And and in life, you know, life does it to you, right? Yeah? Sure?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And you know it's like you know, you're still on.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Everybody's still on the hustle man. The business has changed.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: It's hard to get work, even though they're producing more shows.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Um yeah, yeah, Uh. What do you remember
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: about your time on set other than what you've already discussed.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: What I remember, besides joking with Melissa and and and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Nick Um, I remember panicking that I was not going
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to be able to get my lines out fast enough.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: And before I started, I would say them as fast
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: as I could, as fast as I could, as fast
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: as I could. And I believe was Chris Long, the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: director on this episode, maybe maybe on your first one,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: on my first one, and then yeah, and so what
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: was really tough is they basically would just come up
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to me and say, yeah, faster, yeah, And that's us too,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: every day all day. It's really good. Really go faster.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And you're thinking, I got a moment here, yeah no no,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: no no no, no, no moment. We don't care about
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the moment, just go ahead. Yeah. And I remember that.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: But I also remember I'm such a history fanatic, like
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Hollywood history attic, that I was so excited to be
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: on that little street because I knew so many other
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: things were being filmed there. I remember that very clearly.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Isn't the history of Hollywood just fascinating? Fascinating? You probably
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: know a heck of a lot more now, I but
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I I delved into it a little bit. I read,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I read a bunch of books about it.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It's it's fascinating how it all began, why it began exactly,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: just fascinating. It really truly is um. And it all
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: came about because you know, the Eastern European uh, Jewish
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: immigrants were not um ascending into people, yeah, and not
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: ascending into the upper rungs of high society in New
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: York City. So they created their own royalty. It happens,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: It happens with yes, but what a wonder what a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: wonderful result. We'll go to the West coast. We'll get
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the best market and pr people from you know, I
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: guess Lou Wasserman was from Cincinnati or Cleveland. Um. Oh wow,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you know so much more than I. Oh no, no,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I don't, I do not, I do not. I don't
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: you know more than me? Um? And we'll go, you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: we'll go buy some land and build build some buildings
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and make some pictures. Fascinating. Absolutely. Do you get recognized
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: a lot for this role? Um? I do, and I
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: always know, you know, usually I can tell what a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: person recognizes me from just by their aid or their gender.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: So when I see women between the ages now of
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you know, Queen to about forty, I know it's going
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to be either Gilmore Girls or Little Princess one or
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the other. And but you know, if if, if, if, if,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: if a dude around your age comes up to me,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I know it's not going to be Gilmark. Netflix has
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: really changed the game for the show. And here's you know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna brag a little bit because I'm so proud
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of this to be just a part of it. Um.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: You know, Gilmore Girls is the number five streaming show
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: every single week on Netflix. I mean, I'm sorry, across
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: all platforms and listen to this. They get a total
• 16:22

• 16:32
  Speaker 1: That's twenty million episodes per week are consumed by the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: world of Gilmore Girls episodes, oh, every single week. So

• 16:58
  Speaker 1: their parents and there's stays start shaking when and their

  Speaker 1: plumbing the depths he's bringing he's trying to get to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the gold every take. If he doesn't get it, he
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: wants another take, and it's like he wants to talk
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to the director, he wants to just he's not going
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to leave that scene until he's given it his his best.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: That is absolutely coz he's one of those guys he
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: just digs in and fights, he fights. And if he's
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: not him fighting, right, because because you're not feeling it
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: every day, you can't possibly feel it every day, and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: some days it's not going to be there, right, you
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: gotta fight and that means you got to fight for
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the time. And you know this as because I'm a
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: sports fanatic, um, you know this as a ball player.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: This is something that you just have to keep fighting
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: even if you're not feeling it. You know, you know
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pitch that curveball as well as
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you can. But but sometimes it's not working, but you
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: still have to keep going. In my case, most most
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: of the time it wasn't working. So bringing back bad memories,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I had to get my next scope because you know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I throw the curveball, you'd hear the crack of the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: bat and I go like that jerking to watch it
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: fly away. So anyway I think I might hold the well,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: let's not go into it. Uh. I want to get
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: into the I want to get into the baby. Okay,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: we have to talk about the baby. The baby. Now
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: we have been bantering back and forth on the podcast
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: ever since you appeared on screen, and and we you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: part of the discussion goes into is it a fake baby?
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Is it a real baby? What's going on? Is a
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: rubber baby? Is in a plastic baby? We think it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a rubber baby. What's going on? Tell us the truth?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Is it sometimes a real baby and then a rubber baby.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And now I think it was if I am remembering
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: correctly in my eighteen years, I believe it was a
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: rubber baby the whole time, baby the whole time. I
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: was right. I was right, And I was vilified for
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: this opinion. I was vilified. I was castigated. Yes, yes,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I was ridiculed. And look, how dare they? Some people
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: said it was real. I said, it's not real. You're
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: not gonna have a real baby on set. You're not
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: gonna it takes hours and hours and hours to film
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: a scene, right, they're not gonna do it, especially with
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: your with your show. They didn't have time for that. Yeah,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and I truly believe it was a rubber baby. I'm
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: pretty sure it was. Was it? Did you remember how
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: it felt? Was it cold to the touch? Was it
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: sort of rubbery and cold? It was rubbery? Rubbery, rubbery,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and to the point where it was just kind of
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: like funky and it was a funky rubber baby. We're
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: gonna add funky to the rubber baby. Yeah, it was
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a thinky, funky little rubber baby. Yeah, yeah, sure it was. Yeah,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: but you know, it looks real. It looked real. Yes,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: it's amazing. But I you know, I'm usually the baby whisperer.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I've worked with lots of babies and doggies and stuff
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: like that on screen, and I thought, I'm ready for this,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: but I didn't have to be because it was a
• 22:44
