• 2:34
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I'm good?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm fine? In dandy, and thanks for coming on, very
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: very excited to talk to you. Your resume is very impressive,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and I want to get into all of that, but
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: let's get into this. How'd you start your career?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I guess technically, when I was eleven, I was taking
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: singing and acting classes at the Center for Performing Arts
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: in Maynard, Massachusetts. And the guy that was teaching the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: drama class new people, and they were doing Brighton Beach
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Memoirs in Stoughton, Massachusetts. And I was obviously right for
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a Jewish character, of course, but I got the job.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I dyed my hair brown. I got my equity card
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: when I was eleven.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: But I.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I was born like this, like I always wanted to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: do that, So I did school plays beforehand. I always
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: loved it. So I was just really, really lucky that
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: that opportunity came along.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: What was it about acting that grabbed you that's on
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: such a deep level at such a young age.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You know, I think about that a lot, because I
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: would say, now, it's that my fundamental shyness makes it
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: easier to be someone else than myself. But when I
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: was little, that wasn't true. I was not shy when
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I was little so I don't know. Maybe maybe I
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: just liked the attention when I was little, and now
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: it's the only way I can, I don't know, feel
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: as free to play or something. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I just I put on really Rosie in the backyard
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: with the other neighborhood kids, but I made them let
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: me sing all the parts, like yeah, how is that kid?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: It's always always a fascinating answer that I get when
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I ask people that, because because I can't answer what
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: possessed me to do this crazy job, or except for
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the love of exploring characters, the love of doing research
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and knowing full well, I'm not going to get the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: psychology of any character one hundred percent, or even fifty percent,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: or maybe even twenty five percent. You're lucky if you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: get ten percent, or you know, you get you get
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: some portals, You open some portals into a personality, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: something clicks, and then that's there's your performance. And it
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: could be such a little thing. It could be the shoes,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a piece of wardrobe, it could be a mannerism, it
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: could be something. Then then the whole flood, the floodgates
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: open up. That's what fascinated me about it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And then and then once you once you know how
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: to get into another character, you just have you now
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: know what that kind of person is like you you
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: just broaden your empathy across the board. The more the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: more kinds of people you figure out how to get into,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the more you're like, oh right, okay, I recognize you.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I recognize you, you know, m m yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And also you learn when you have your process, you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: learn what you know. It could still fascinates you, but
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: there's no you know, there's no way you could play
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that role or do it justice. And you have to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: be honest with yourself. There's you can't play everything. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: if you're one of those people that can, you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: there are those people. But you know, it always gave
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: me this this reality smacking me in the face. Ay, Scott,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you're not going to do this role. But there's you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: can still be fascinated with the character, you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, yeah, I mean at n YU, we played
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: all the roles. We played old men and like, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: that was great and all, but then you get out
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: of school and it's like, well, no, here's who you're
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: going to play. And if you're if you're lucky, if
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you're lucky, you get to play the your type of parts.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So did you do a lot of Shakespeare at the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: n YU?
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I did. My third year I did Shakespeare Intensive. But
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the first two years I was at Circle in the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Square Theater school, which is great because they do it's
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: like a Schmortes board of all sorts of techniques, which
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I really liked. And then for the third year it
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: was a Shakespeare intensive.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Did you know I did a I did a. I
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: actually saw Diane Veanora at the Public Theater doing the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: lead role in Hamlet, and then I did a film
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: with her. So I just I mean, I was just like,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I was so annoying. I just hammered her with questions
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: every day at lunch. She's like Scott really again? But
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: she fascinated me. And did you ever get to play
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a male Shakespeare role in college?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I did. I played Prince hal in Henry the Fourth
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Part one in college and it was really fun. I mean,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: who knows what it was like, but as an experience,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a growth experience, it was great.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And what do you think it gave you over people
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that hasn't have not studied classical theater? You think it
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: gave you a leg up?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Well, certainly it's difficult for me not to segue into
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: audio books, which is my that's my main gig these
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: days and has been for a while, so I'm going
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to do it. When I first started, I was doing
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: this twenty four hour science fiction book and I it
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: was really hard, and it was long nights, and I
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: at one point I was like, oh my god, I wouldn't.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I could not do this. If I hadn't been to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: NYU and specifically the classical studio, I couldn't do it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I just wouldn't. My mouth wouldn't be able to do it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: My endurance, my focus, No way would I've been able
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to do that. And I felt really grateful for that.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: And I also felt like having done Shakespeare gave me
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of confidence just in general, like, well, if
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I can do that, I can probably play nervous shy
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Girl number two. You know. So it works. It suited me.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I loved it, and it also was like the right
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: path for me, right.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Every young actor that approaches me, whether I'm interviewing
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: somebody or they asked me, how do I embark on
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: her career? I said just I said, just study your
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Shakespeare said, just nail it and own it and know
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that if you go to London they're gonna mock you.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And just fight the good fight and.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Us anyway, I have a go study with the best
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: and don't settle for less.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And really own that stuff and then let the business
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: chase you. You know, we just saw your character on Her
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and you came on like a tornado onto the screen.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And as soon as I saw this episode, I I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I called my executive producer. I said, get her on
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the show. She's she's something, She's she's one of these
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: great actresses that got a small role on a great
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: show and I want to talk to her. And I
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: didn't know your resume, but I wasn't surprised when I
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: when I read off the list. But anyway, let's talk
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: about the dinner scene, the class dinner scene. It's probably
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: my favorite scene in all of Gilmour Girls. And there's
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: only well there's Logan and Rory in the scene, but
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the woman who played your mother or the grandfather, I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: mean the dialogue. It was hysterical. Yes, it was just
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the funniest. What do you remember about filming that?
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, it was the first. I'm sure you've done
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: many a dinner scene. It was my first time doing
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: a dinner scene on camera, and man's that slow.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, since endless, those days are endless.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: There's just so much coverage. It's just unbelievable. It just
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: takes forever, just a scene that just zips by so delightfully.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh boy, wow, this.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: This took all day.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: But it was yeah. I mean, other than that, it
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: was it was I forget I should remember where we were.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: It was in a gorgeous place. It was just kind
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of nice to be and because I think there were
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: so many people at the table, it was a nice
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: opportunity for me to get to watch people working. There
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: was so much that was that I was not in,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: but I was still there, so it was like a
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: little mini workshop. How does she make that look so easy?
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: How she make that look so funny?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: You know exactly? Yeah, it really was a case. It
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: was like a masterclass of acting. That whole thing. That
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: scene was just amazing. I rewatched it many times. First
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: down set. You remember your first down set?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Tell us what it's like, Well, it's a blur, it was.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: It was well. First of all, I was a huge
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: fan of the show before getting the job, and I
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: had almost no on camera experience. So I was both
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: a fangirl and a nervous wreck, so I was amped up.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But what I remember people being extremely kind, maybe because
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: they were like, oh my god, this girl needs help,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: but I remember everyone being really gentle and kind and supportive.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a blur. It is a blur. Though.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: What about meeting Matt Zuger for the first time? Tell
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: us about that.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: He was great? He wasn't We didn't like hang out
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: much beforehand, but but again, he seemed he I could
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: tell that he could tell that I was nervous, so
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: he was like making sure. I was like, okay, you
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: got it, you got it. He was taking care of
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: me a little bit.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah that's Maddie. That sounds like Maddie. Yeah.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: It was great, It was It was a really it
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: was the scene the first time you see me is
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: when I'm going to the dorm and yeah, so that
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: was my first scene, you know, the way we shot it,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: that was the first one.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Right. We have some questions as to why Logan didn't
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: have a key to the house. Oh god, right, why
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: did he have to knock or ring the bell? It's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: his home, that's right.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I never thought of that. That's such a good idea.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, so I could have an.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Entrance, right exactly.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: That's the real reason.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: That's the real reason, and that is that's the conclusion
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: we all came to. Finally we had to get her
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: into the scene. How are we going to do it?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's also just one little anecdote about the coming
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: to the door scene. Yeah. I was really excited to
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: have gotten this job because I speak very quickly naturally,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, I was finally the show
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: for me where I can speak as fast as I want.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: That scene where I opened the door, first note, I
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: get slow down.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: No, that's the first person we have ever interviewed that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: got a note to slow down.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I was talking too fast for the Gilmore girl. I
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: couldn't believe it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I mean I do believe it, because listen, but it
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: was a bit of a shock.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. We got to call the Guinness Book
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of World Records because that's got to be a land
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: speed record on talking speed. You might be the fastest
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: talker in the world.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Where do I get my prize?
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: We'll be in touch. Okay, good, We're going to we're
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: going to get on this man. Maybe we'll just have
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you back on do the ceremony and present you with
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the plaque and the check and the whole.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Deal, and I'll have a ten thousand word acceptance speech.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: It'll be over in two minutes.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: And if you don't, they'll take everything away from you.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: So did you know when you booked the job initially
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: how long you were going to have the job for
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: or did you feel pressure to do a good job
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: so they'd bring your character back?
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I did not. I think it was like possible recurring,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: it said on the breakdown. So I didn't know, and
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: it was it was a while. I think maybe there
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: was a season break. Anyway, it was a while between
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: the first one and getting the call for the second one.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: So I did. I didn't know what to expect. I mean,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I'd never done anything like this before. I didn't like
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: when I didn't immediately have all the episodes and all
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the dates. When I showed up on day one, I
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: was like, well, I don't know, maybe it'll never happen.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's just the one who knows. So each each
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I did four, and so each time the next episode
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: came along, it was an extremely welcome call for me,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: especially episode the second one I did the second episode.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: That call came at an excellent time, so I was
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: very grateful.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they took good carry. Everybody took good carrier.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: That's great. Your husband's and actor. Did you two meet
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: on the set of a show or movie you did together,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: or how'd you guys meet?
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: We met doing a play. I'm a member of the
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: NTS Theater Company classical theater company out here in LA
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and we were doing Noel Coward's Tonight at eight thirty,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: which is actually a collection of short plays. We did
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: eight of them and rep over two different nights, so
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: it was this big, whole complicated thing. And ants used
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: to do double casting all the time, so we needed
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: twice the actors, and we needed more people who could
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: do English accents. And the autistic director at the time
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: had coached him separately. She asked him to come in
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: as a guest star, and I.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Kept him and you cast him as the lead.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I cast him as Ma Lee.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: In the movie of Your Life. Yeah, and I you
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: know you talked about your audio books, uh at the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: top of this, tell us a little bit about that.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: So that came about also through my theater company audiobook
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: one one producer in particular was like, I bet if
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: people can do Shakespeare, they can do audio books. And
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: so he would call the theater asking for people to
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: audition for various projects. And he called and I answered
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the phone one day and he was calling for another
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: woman's number, and I was like, yes, I will give
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: that to you if you let me audition too, which
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: was uncharacteristically cheeky of me, but I did it anyway.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: He got that one, but I got the next one,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: and so yeah, So it was just it was because
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: of theater company that I got introduced to the first
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the first company, and then another another actor at the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: company introduced me to a really big producer in town.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And then it was like a slow build for a
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: long time until a couple of years ago when I
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: picked up a new client that allowed me to quit
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: my day job.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: There you go, good, good, good good. You played Elaine
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Robinson in a stage version of The Graduate, one of
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: my favorite old time movies, one of my favorite all
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: time lead characters. Tell us what that was like. Did
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you see the movie first you? Did you avoid the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: movie or did you did you want to see.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: The movie, and oh I had seen it.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: You had already seen multiple.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Times before, and I agree that it's a brilliant thing.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't rewatch it when I got the job. I
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: didn't rewatch it because the play is based more closely
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: upon the book. The film has a different tone than
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: the book, particularly in the main character of Benjamin. In
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the book, he's a golden boy, you know, whatever your
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: image of a California golden boy.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Mike Nichols wanted Dustin Hoffman, right, yes.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: So, and I and I think that was a great choice.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: The movies, absolutely, but the so the play is a
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: little but.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: It's a whole different film. I mean, it's just a
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: completely different Dustin took it into areas that it couldn't
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: possibly have been taken into totally.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So so no, I didn't rewatch it for that reason,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and I didn't want to. I think I'm susceptible to
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: copying performances that I like, so I didn't want to
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: do that. So yeah, but it was amazing. We were
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: on It was a year. We got toured all around
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: the country. I had four different missus Robinson's, the first
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: of whom was Jerry Hall.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: What was she likes she's not an actor, but did
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: she pull it off?
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: She yes, anything, anything she did would have been right
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: because she's this crazy. She was like London and Texas,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: shake and bake. She's amazing. She It was a lot
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: of fun, just sort of standing in awe watching her
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: stride through the world.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Linda Gray, Lorraine broco Kelly McGillis. Wow, what was Lorraine
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: brocco Is? Died in the World New York Actors Studio. Badass.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: You know, tell us, tell us what she was like
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: to work with.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: You know that she was such a because I think
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: she came right after Jerry, just such a such a change,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: you know, she was basically I remember she was super cool.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: She wasn't with us too long. I think maybe two
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: months or something. She was just so cool. I remember
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: we were on we were heading to the theater one
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: day and I was like, oh my god, those are
• 21:13

  Speaker 2: of time, and then Jonathan, an actor named Jonathan Kaplan
