• 2:09
  Speaker 1: did a I did a bunch of stuff one day
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and I flew in and I flew out. It was
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: real fast, and yeah, I just I just remember it
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: was just a blurb the whole it was because it's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: so funny because I tell people about it, because I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: know they changed the location every year, and I'm like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I can never remember where that actually was. So we
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: were in Toronto, Yes, it was in Unionville. They did
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it in union Union where we shot where we shot
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the pilot. Yeah, ok um, you joined season four as
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Rory's Yale sweet mate ton of and you have been
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: watching the show? Had you been watching the show before?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I had, like I was the right age because I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: think I was twenty when I did that, and so
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think I was completely caught up, but I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: definitely seen like seasons one and two, So I was excited,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you know. Um, and uh, you know, did the audition,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: did all that stuff, and weirdly enough, like I had,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: uh kind of dated Slash, been a roommate to a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: guy who was on that show as an a D
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: as an assistant director and he had done Alias as well,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: which was a show where you know, night shoots and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: they blew stuff up and he would come home and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: have way worse hours on Gilmore Girls than he than
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: he did, you know, on this action show. Um, so
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I kind of knew what I was getting into in
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: terms of of that, you know, but it had really
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: no idea, right right, Well, tell us about the audition process,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you know. I don't, I can't, I don't know. I mean,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I I remember it just being an audition like any
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: other you know, you're an actor in l A. You
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: go to two auditions a day and and hope one
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: hits and that one did right, so you know, you
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: go in a room and they laugh or they don't laugh,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and it means nothing, you know, um, and then I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: got it. But but yeah, so that was kind of that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So you you portrayed a fifteen year old she was fifteen.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: How old were you when you were filming? Yeah, fifteen
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: or sixteen. I was twenty, And that was like the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: source of so much drama. So basically, I I did
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: my first day, you know, I was feeling good about it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I went home and a few days later I got
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a call at like six o'clock at night and they said,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: how quick can you get to Warner Brothers. We want
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to do a wardrobe test. And I lived right around
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the corner from Warner Brothers at the time, and I said,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I can get I can get there, you know. So
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: so I got there and and they went, oh, we
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: didn't like how you looked in that first episode. You
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: look too old next to Alexis. Now Alexis in that scene,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and Alexis and I talked about this later. They had
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: put her in this like French brain that she never
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: wore again, but it made her look incredibly young, Like,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: standing next to me, we look at the same age.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So they dressed me up and they did that thing
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: where they kind of cut you out in front of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: ten people and and they're all looking at you, but
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: not at you in the eye. You know, you're just
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: like a piece of meat, your circus animal, and they're
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: staring at you. And they put you another outfit, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: so they went, okay, yeah, this is this is the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: outfit we like, this is how we're going to do it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: They put my hair up and they said, okay, now,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: let's shoot it. And I went It's like eight o'clock
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: at night at this point, right, I didn't know I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: was gonna shoot anything that day. I'd already shot the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: damn scene. And I went shoot it and they go, yeah,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: we're gonna reshoot all your your first your first scene,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: all right now. I went, oh, so okay. So I
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: go in there and and I go, what about this
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: this first scene where I'm kind of walking in this
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: room where there was a ton of extras and a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: ton of stuff going on. They go, oh, we're just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: gonna leave that. So if you watch that first scene
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: when I before I enter the room, I'm in a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: group of people dressed totally different with totally different hair,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and they just kind of let that slide and then
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I walk in whatever, and so I shoot this scene
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and Alexis and Lauren they've already been there all day long,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: so they kind of shot their establishing group stuff and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: then left. So I did all my stuff with some
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: stand in and and weirdly enough, I I love that scene.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I love how it turned out. But I think it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: probably you know, she was chaotic and nervous and all
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that stuff I hadn't probably just resonated from me because
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what I was feeling, like, what is going on? Yeah? Wow, Yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: well yeah, sometimes that happens. Yeah, you know that. That's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that's TV production right there in a nutshell. You gotta
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta be very nimble. Um uh yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it just happened to me. Actually, it just happened to me. Yes,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we they called me on an off day. I did
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a big emotional scene and they just wanted to get
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a close up of me that they forgot to get
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and I had to go back in and we didn't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: have to redo it, but it was like, God, how
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: am I supposed to do this again? Because you on
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that mindset no no, no, no no no no, once you,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: once you, once you get off that highway, you're gone, man,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: just like I can't revisit that the next day emotionally speaking, right,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: with no warning preparation, right exactly? I know. Well anyway, so,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: um uh, you started booking roles at a very young age,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and what made you want to get into acting in
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the first place. You know, I'm not going to sit
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: here and lie to you and say it was like
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: an active choice because I started at like three, so
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I was. I grew up in l A, right, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: so when you're a kid in l A, you're precocious,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you're cute enough, whatever, they go, Oh, let's stick you
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: in some commercials, right. Um. So it just kind of
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: started like that, as it does for all kids. We
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: all kind of starting commercials and then it just went
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: from there. So it wasn't like a mom I want
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to be on TV thing. Um, but I also didn't
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: not want to be what not want to be doing
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it once I started, So you know, it was always
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: an option to quit right right, right, which is good
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: because some trial. Actors don't have that option. No, they
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: do not. So you were in eight episodes when you
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: got the role, did they tell you how many episodes
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you would be in. No. I think it was just
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: kind of a Rory's Roommate at Yale thing, right, Um,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: so yeah, I just kept They just kept doing episodes,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and then in the for the finale, I think it
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was like the second to last episode of the series,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: they brought me and Katie Walter, who played Janet, who
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I talked to her she wants to be on the show. Um,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: oh Katie, sure, um. But they brought us both back
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and they didn't ask me, like nobody asked my age.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And it's been a few years, like if I look different,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: And at the time, I had cut off all my hair.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I had this like pixie cut. It was like bleach blonde.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And I showed up on set and I just the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: collective like face drop where they were just like oh no, um,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: And so they cut it all out. They cut out
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: all of our stuff, and Katie was like, this is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: your fault, this is on you, you know. But we
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: shot it, but it just never it never made it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And I think it's because I just looked completely different. Um,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: what do you think of working with Alexis? What? How
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: did you like it? She's great. I mean I think Alexis, um,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know her personally, but like she's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: very at least with me, and we got along well. Um,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you know, she's shy and reserved, and I think she
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: kind of was, Um, you know, I've been doing the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: doing the actor dance for twenty years at that point,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, she kind of got plucked out
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of college and rust yeah, and rust into that, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: so I think it was all just an adjustment, you know. Um.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I do remember her driving like the most beat to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: car and just really kind of loving that. I was like, Oh,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you're on like season four of you know and or
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: TV show and you're driving this old like sedan and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and I don't know. I always think it's cool when
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: actors are a little low key like that. Lauren Alexis
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: share that they both were sort of car challenged. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: had to give Lauren a pep talk. It's like, like,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you know, you're projecting an image here and not not
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Alexis's car. I don't remember her car. I do, I
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: do remember the collection of cars. Lauren had and they
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: just weren't up to snuff and I had to I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: had to sit her down and talk to her. That's
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: nice of you. Yeah, good, Look at how Scott. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: think I got it with a deduction argument. You know
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it deduction if you lease it, there's a lot of dialogue,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: even in your first scene. How do you approach memorizing everything?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Wasn't it was a nightmare? I mean so. I it's
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: funny because after Gilmore Girls, I kind of segued into
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: primarily voice acting. And one of the wonderful things about
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: voice acting I always say, it's like you don't have
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to memorize lines, right um, And Gilmore Girls was so
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if I don't know if they
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: just did if they did this a series regulars too.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I imagine they did, but maybe you were handled with
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: kid gloves. But they were so word perfect with it,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and you know, you'd get these big chunks of of dialogue.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And I do remember someone at one point going, because
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you know, Gilmore Girls has that certain kind of like
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: it has its own little patois and it's really fast
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and this, and someone was like, that's editing, so don't worry.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So much about that, but it they really wanted it
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: were perfect. So I remember doing a scene once and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: they came back and they were like, that was all great,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: but don't change it is too it's you know and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: usually m No'll give you that sort of you know, leniency.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And there was one scene talk about how they would
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: change scheduling and stuff, and I had this real big monologu,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: which is crazy because I it's the Scott. It is
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the only thing to this day that I still remember,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: like word perfect um. And I showed up and I
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: had it. I'd like memorized. It was like a medical jargon.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: And I was like ready, it was I was game.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And then they went, oh it's ten am. Yeah, we've
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: moved this to like six pm. So I sat around
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: all day and by the time I got around to it,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: it was gone. It was just term memory. Yes, And
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I mean I've done a lot of TV, I've done movies,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I've done stuff. And it was one of two times
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that I in my career that I ever just lost
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: something to the point where they came up and they
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: were like, would you like cue car, which is to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: me like the biggest It's an the more you can't
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: get it. The more you're right out of your mind,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: like so, yeah, so are you Scott? You're ready? This
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: is Are you ready? His father was instrumental in conducting
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: research showing that neurons in the brain fire actively during
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: rem sleep with the exception of serotonin and report effort.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: To this day, I can remember it perfectly because I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: was like so shamed in my head by it. You know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it was awful to this day. Um, but yeah, it
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: was just it was yeah, it was hard. It wasn't tough.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I can't lie. I mean Gilmore girls was tough, like
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: they you know, have a vision and and obviously it
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: was correct and right and that's why the show is
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: everlasting and all that. Um, but you know, wasn't it
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: wasn't George Bell available to you? He was. He was
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the one. He's like now now see the line is
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: instrument and conduct so remember that's like music and you
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: can I mean, I like remember his notes he was
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: giving me during this monologue and like no, so George Bow,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was the dialogue coach. But didn't he come
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to your trailer and just run it and run it?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I mean even at six pm when you were going
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to do it. Didn't he come and run it and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: run and run it with it. I thought I had it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I thought I had it right because I had it
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that morning. I didn't know by the until I got
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to set that it was gone, just gone. You know what.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: That dialogue was tough. I don't care. You're right it was.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how prepared you were. It was still
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: challenging to execute. It really was. Yeah, And just the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: fact that it had to be like to the to
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the letter right is a whole other sort of exageration. Yeah,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: it was hard for you to um sometimes not, I
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: mean after I don't know, the first couple of episodes,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: it was just kind of there that you developed that muscle,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and I think we all did simultaneously, and it just
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: got easier and easier because and we we started getting jaded,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: started playing games with ourselves about how much time it
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: would take to memorize it before we went and did it.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It's like, cut it really close before the scene. Did
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: they change it a lot before as it was going on,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: or like, did did they kind of release the script
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and that it was kind of done. We didn't get
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: scripts until sometimes, you know, not even twenty four hours
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: before you get it at your house kind of coming
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: in the next thing that was, but they were they
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: were always perfecting it. Amy and her team were always
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and and Dan they were always perfecting it. You're always
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: we got listen, we got pages. I think on the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: very first episode we did, which was after shooting a pilot,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: we started up and Warner Brothers and Laura and I
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: were sitting in six AM five third Dame in the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: makeup trailer and it was we hadn't even shot anything yet,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and they threw a ten page scene at us. They've
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: just written We're gonna do this. We panicked, we worked
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: on it, we did it, and after that we had
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the confidence like, Okay, we can handle this, we can
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: do this. Yeah. Well, especially you guys were such a
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: good team together, which matters, you know with dialogue. But
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it's but it's doing it right. You got to do
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it over and over and over again, and we had
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: we kind of had that confidence. So confidence has allowed
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to do with it. And it's totally just a muscle memory.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Like even being a voice actor now when I do
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: sometimes have to memorize lines, it's like, oh, it's just
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: not as crispy and easy as it once was. And
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you didn't start out as an actor, right, weren't you
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: like you were like a baseball player, right I was. Yeah,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: so I didn't have to memorize anything, just some hand signals, right,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't even get those? Right. Um, the fans recognize
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you from you know, yes, occasionally it's so weird. I mean,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I am it's the voice, isn't it well? And I've
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: aged like fine wine if I do have to say so,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: so I'm just kidding you have no but so I
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: don't look too far off, you know. And yeah, well
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: also too, I think because the show is so this
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: literally happened to me last week. I had an interview
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: with somebody and they said, oh, before we start, I
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: just have to tell you my fourteen year old daughter
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: is a big Gilmore Girls fan. So I've I've seen
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you in that, and so it's I get recognized because
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the show is everlasting, right like it's still like as
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: you know, like there's a whole group of you know,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: ten to sixteen year old girls who love it and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: are rediscovering it all over again, which always kind of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: blows my mind because to me, the show and the writing,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: which is so sharp, and the jokes are all very topical,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: so I feel like some of that stuff must go
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: over their heads. But there's an everlasting I don't know.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's very rare that that mother daughter
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: dynamic is seen on TV and isn't really represented all
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: that much, So that in itself is unique and has
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I think staying power as well. You know, Um, you
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: do a lot of voice of work, from Hey Arnold
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to Bratt's Last Airbender more. Do you prefer that kind
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: of acting over any other. I feel very fortunate with
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: my voiceover career because, like I said, I don't have
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to memorize lines, there's no blocking, there's no Um. I
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: get to go to comic cons, which I enjoy immensely.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Um Yeah, I got there. I literally booked into like

• 20:56
  Speaker 1: eight by tens of Gilmore girls design? And I go,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I don't have any. But it's a it's a thing,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a thing. It lives. Sean and I
• 21:06

• 21:09
  Speaker 1: places that standing room only. I mean they the fans
• 21:12

• 21:15
  Speaker 1: but they love it. They just come out and they say, hello, Yeah,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: it's fantastic. Um uh yeah. So Brady Bunch, So you
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: worked with Deborah Kaplan? Was she on set? Yeah? Because
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I did a movie in ninety four called Little Big League.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Oh I remember a Little Big She was an assistant
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: to the director and scheinman, and she was talking about
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Brady Bunch deals she was making and this kind of thing.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: So and she turned out to be this fantastic comedy writer. Yeah, fantastic,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And she has a partner, I know that. So you
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: worked with her, worked with her, and yeah, that script
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: is so it really set the kind of tone for
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of like fish out of Water comedies later on,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you know. Um so yeah, I mean they did a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: fantastic job at that And yeah, that movie is fun
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to watch because we all had a lot of fun
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: making it. And I think sometimes you can tell that
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: when you watch certain things, you're like they're having a
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: good time, and we had a really really good time. Yeah,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: great concept, you know, putting it in the present day,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: it was just like brilliant, brilliant. Um. Would you want
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to get back in front of the camera anytime soon?
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Or do you really like the voiceover because it sounds
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: like you you really firmly entrenched in that world and
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you love it. I do, and I do love it,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: but I love all acting, you know. And and to me,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: it's funny because people come up all the time, which
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: they never did when I was strictly an on camera actor,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and they say, I want to get into voice acting
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: because for them, for some reason, there's a line there
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and they don't have to be good looking or they
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: just have to use their voice. But voice acting always
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: say like, you know, a little V big a right,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: so like voice acting is still acting, right, and so yeah,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: so I would love to be in front of the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: camera and all that, because I just what I do
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: in general. So you know, I did I did a
• 23:04

  Speaker 1: Commissioner Gordon and Jack the rip you were that's so
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: cool and it and it took you know how long
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: it took. It took maybe three or four hours. Yeah,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, six
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: months later or nine months later, I got a call
