• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about the show. What the heck?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: You know? And I had to scramble. And this was
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: before and everything was streaming, so I had to somehow
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: try to find a snippet of it to watch and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: find out about it. Yeah.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Probably not so easy to watch it, Yeah, that's for sure.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So you played a student for the Yale Daily News.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: How was it being in the newsroom in Paris? Was
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: going through a breakdown as the editor of the paper?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: What was that like?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It was really fun. I mean it was kind of chaotic.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: She was kind of crazy. She went nuts, you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it really did. But you know, as an actor, I
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: was just so excited to be there and it was
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: very energetic, you know, lots of extras and lots of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: people around. It was really and everyone was really nice.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You know, it was fun.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Those are fun scenes. I love those those newsroom scenes.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: They're all fraught with so much going on. So Paris
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: made everybody in the newsroom where numbered caps?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: He did?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I remember? And so was it? You think it was
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: more funny or more cruel? Well we'll get to that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Do you have a So what's your favorite moment on
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the set? As you on that set?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: There was one day where you know, we just had
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: some downtime and so that the Yale Daily News crew
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: we kind of snuck off and were wandering around, like
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: we went to Luke Steiner, he went to all the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: other sets and took pictures. That was fun.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You were Taurus correct?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Did you? First of all, did you watch the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: episode before he came on, and if you did, what
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: was it like watching it back after all these years.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I watched my scenes last night because I thought I
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: better refresh my memory, and it was it was so weird.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Do you know It's because it's like, has it been
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: like fifteen years? Been a long time. And I was like,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: oh my god, you know I was skinnier than I thought,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you know, you know all that stuff. I was like,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I didn't look as bad as you know thought I did.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I think as a young actor, I was
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: always really hard on myself. So watching it back, I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: was like, you did a good job, you did a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: solid job.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: It was okay, right, right? Right? Do you get recognized rarely?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I could maybe count on my hands, maybe even one hand,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: but a couple of times I have, but people don't
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: really know. They're like really familiar, and I you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and then then they might ask go or you an
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: actress and then it comes out. But sometimes I know
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: that's where they know me from, but I just pretend.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I don't know, maybe it's right, I
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: don't know, and I just pretend because I don't want to.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Know when they when they do recognize you, what's the reaction?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And when you inform them that, yeah, I was on
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: gil More Girls for an episodes, they do they what's
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the reaction with oh yeah?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Then they say oh yeah, yeah, of course now I remember,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you know, they couldn't place it before, but then they
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: once I say it, then they remember and then they
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: get excited, you know, because they're like, oh my god,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it's my favorite job, and they get all excited.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Right, So let's talk about how you got started in acting.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You have a degree from UC Berkeley and cognitive science.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: How'd you go from science cognitive science to acting.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Well? I always wanted to act all like, since I
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: was a little kid, but my family was very academic
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and not really you know, entertainment. They didn't know about
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: that world at all, and so they kind of discouraged me.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And then I went to school and did my school thing,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and I thought, wait a second, now I'm done with college.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go to grad school. I don't
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: want to go to med school. I don't want to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: go to law school. You know, screw it. I'm going
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: to do what I want to do. And then I
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: moved down to LA and took acting classes and.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Really, yeah, really, And how did the family react.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: To that rebelled against my family? They I don't think
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: they liked it, but I I kind of didn't care.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I kind of said, this is what I'm doing and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: just I didn't like ask their permission or anything, because
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm doing. And then once I started to
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: book things, you know, like big plays or something, then
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: they'd want to come see it and tell everyone. And
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a second, you weren't so into it
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: before and now you want to know. But they're nice,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: they're nice, but right, yeah, but they before that, they
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: were probably very apprehensive and scared, you know, they wanted
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: me to do something academic, professional, you know, not.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: What did your what did your parents do?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: What were they My mother was a mathematician and my
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: father was an engineer. And then when he was forty
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: he went to medical school. So I was like in
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: elementary school when he went to medical school, which was
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: weird back then. I mean maybe now people go back
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to school later, but I mean I didn't think. I
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: didn't know that it was weird when I was a kid.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: It just that's just how it was, you know.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right, So who'd you study with when you
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: got to LA who are your teachers?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts a
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: bunch of teachers there. There was one teacher his name
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: was He doesn't have his own studio or anything, so
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: his name was Howard chang Raw. You know. He was
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: a really good teacher. And then I more recently, I
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: studied with someone named Richard Side s E y D. Fantastic,
• 7:40

• 11:05
  Speaker 2: because I don't think you know, they were older. I

  Speaker 2: don't think they're into that kind of.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Stuff TV watchers.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or if so not not Gilmore girl, you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: not that you know, I don't know what they were watching,

• 11:23
  Speaker 2: you know, they watched the episodes I was on, you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and they were excited and all that stuff. But yeah,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know that they ever were excited like finally
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: like oh, you know, they they were proud, you know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: they said, oh, we're proud of you and all that stuff.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: But really, if I even to this day, if I said,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: you know what, I want to go to medical school,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: they'd be so excited, so exciting.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you gotta do what you gotta do. You
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: got to you gotta go where your heart leads you. Yeah. Yeah,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of resistance too. My father was
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: not happy.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: No, you were because I looked you up a little
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: bit too. You were a professional baseball player, right I was. Yeah,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: and uh and I was before the acting obviously.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Right right, yeah, And then and then I went to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Europe for a time and try to figure it out
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the rest of my life. Instead just had a brilliant time.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Thought this should be the rest of my life, but
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I knew I couldn't sustain it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I came back and dove into the acting scene
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: in New York. Yeah. Uh yeah. My dad was not happy.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: He just said, go back to college. I mean, you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: get your degrees and let's go here. And I just
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I just said, nah, I love this and
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I really want to explore this, and I think it's
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: something that I can do.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Good for you.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I really held I mean, and he was
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: he was a tough character. You know. He was like,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you're going to do this thing and you're not going
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to do that, and I'm like, nah, I'm going to
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: do this. I had to really fight for it, and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: he just was not happy, just man. And then and
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: then when I started having success, he you know, he
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: really didn't come around. And then Gilmore Girls happened, then
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: he was like what could he say?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're shut him up to the lead of a
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: show for years. You know, that's quite successful at that point.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But you know, now that I'm a father, I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: understand where he was coming from. They just you just
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: want the best for your kid. You want him to,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you know, have the best chance at success and going
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in at your mid twenties into something where you should
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: already be established in a profession at twenty five. You know,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: if you're going to have a career, you're going to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: be already established and have a pretty good resume. I mean,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I understand now his concerns. I don't blame him for it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I guess when you're young, you think the best thing
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: for you is your heart and your passion and all.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: And when someone's older and they're thinking about their kids,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: they're thinking, oh, well, the best thing for my kid
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: is security and stability.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And yeah, all right, we're gonna play a little game
