00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.960
Yes, it is Wally Kirk kids, and I got I
2
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:13.519
gotta say some numbers first, Wally, and I almost want
3
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.559
to choke myself because it just says how old I
4
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:23.039
am too this year folks, it's thirty five years as
5
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:28.839
ned Ashton quartermane. But no, here's the part that I
6
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:36.799
was like, what it's thirty nine years as just a god,
7
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.479
Oh wait a minute, I graduated high school thirty nine
8
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:39.920
years ago.
9
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.920
There, I'm like, what is going on here so fast?
10
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:44.880
Oh my gosh.
11
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.200
I mean like I've also I've known you eleven years
12
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:50.719
this year eleven years I mean in his business for this,
13
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.799
and I just I don't when I say that, when
14
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.359
I say those numbers, I'm like, that's crazy talk, right,
15
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.399
It like it was yesterday, and it's right.
16
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.200
I know, I know, I know, I know.
17
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.879
When I say thirty nine years when I started on
18
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.799
Days of our Lives, I just shake my head.
19
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.159
It was like what that was like so many decades
20
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.640
ago so to speak, Like what different hairstyles ago? I
21
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.519
mean all of that, right, It's just like, wow, that
22
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.040
was the late eighties, that's when you started.
23
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.760
Yeah, eighty seven January of eighty seven. I think I
24
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.480
aired in February. And it's so funny because my first
25
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.799
day was on a Saturday. I've never worked on a
26
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:41.640
Saturday since it was a Saturday because James this show
27
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:43.719
that they had to come in on Saturday. Well, two
28
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.840
things happened. I've told this story before, but Deirdre Hall
29
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:48.400
was doing that primetime series.
30
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.319
Oh yeah our house or something.
31
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.040
Yeah, family or something.
32
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.400
Yeah, our house, right, our family or something, and she
33
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:58.280
was doing a scene.
34
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:03.959
With George George back what was his what was his
35
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:10.280
name back then? His last name? Anyway, it was he was.
36
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.800
There and I met him, I met Dedra and it
37
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.000
was you know, there was we did the scene with
38
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.639
the French, you know, Harlot whatever. I was in Paris
39
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:25.960
and heading off to to Salem. Here I come Salem. Yeah,
40
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.240
and uh, I think I want to say it aired
41
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.319
like a few days later.
42
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.479
That's I mean. It was. Yeah. I was like a
43
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:33.599
last minute thing.
44
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.840
They had me come back in and test twice because
45
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.159
they wanted to put me in a new outfit, and
46
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.479
the producer asked me to lose a few more lbs.
47
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.520
And they weren't quite sure about my skill, whether I
48
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.599
had what it takes to be in soap operas. And uh, okay,
49
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.680
I'll blame I'll blame the network executives at NBC. I
50
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:54.240
think one was was Brian Franz.
51
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:54.960
I'll throw my.
52
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:56.960
Love.
53
00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:59.120
But I mean he became a he became a fan,
54
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.280
but he was like a little unsure maybe you know,
55
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.879
it wasn't quite sure. And I admit I was a
56
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.919
little rough around the edges. I was wearing, you know,
57
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:07.800
vintage clothes.
58
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:08.039
I was.
59
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.319
I think I went in like, you know, you know,
60
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:12.240
thinking whatever.
61
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.599
Who knows, But anyway, I got the part and they
62
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.680
they got me in there, and yeah, I think it
63
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.400
was just a few days later that aired, like Thursday
64
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.439
or something. So it was a real quick turnaround, nothing
65
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:21.560
like it is today.
66
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.680
Like, oh my god, not on days are our lives especially, Yeah,
67
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:27.919
we gotta get another year ago before we see stuff.
68
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:28.919
Sometimes that's crazy.
69
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.280
Yeah it is, it's crazy.
70
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:30.800
Wow.
71
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.000
But but that turnaround is so I don't never ask
72
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.680
I don't think I ever knew that turnaround was.
73
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.599
It was a very quick turnaround because there was a
74
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.159
last minute casting and they could you know, they wanted
75
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:40.400
to make sure they had the right guy.
76
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.360
And uh, yeah, well.
77
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.120
So did you tell your family I just filmed this
78
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.319
this series. I'm on this seria that filmed it. It's
79
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.800
coming out Monday or Tuesday. Did you tell them, you
80
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.080
guys to catch it? Well, I didn't even

think anything
81
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:53.639
of it. I just thought, well, that's how it goes.
82
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.800
I figured, Wow, I guess they got I guess they
83
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.759
have enough time to edit it. And but I was
84
00:03:58.800 --> 00:03:59.719
just happy to have a job.
85
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:01.400
And to this.
86
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:06.960
Day I regret I had a job on Saturday nights.
87
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:12.319
There's a bus boy in a restaurant and and I
88
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.360
could have worked that night.
89
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.199
I'm gonna make a confession right now.
90
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.439
Oh I love it, Yes, but I think, but I think,
91
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.199
I don't know whether there's my pride. I mean, like
92
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.360
three or four weeks earlier, Jim Belushi, who I had
93
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.319
understudied on Broadway and understudied as the Pirate.
94
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.319
King, came in and I was like embarrassed, I guess
95
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:29.959
would be the word.
96
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.920
Like, I'm, you know, working as a bus boy and
97
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.560
I'm busting his table. I'm like, I can't, I can't
98
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.000
see Jim. I can't I can't show him that, you know,
99
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:38.720
how look how far I fall it. I was on
100
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.160
Broadway and now I'm busting tables in this restaurant.
101
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.120
So I was just like, I was like, I've got
102
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.560
a job. I'm out of there. I am not going back.
103
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.800
And I told him, I think, sorry, I can't work.
104
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:49.959
I can't work on Saturday night.
105
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:50.720
I gotta go in.
106
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.399
They're planning to throw me a party, and I just
107
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.519
said I can't go in. And I feel so bad
108
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.279
because they would have liked, you know, they were like, hey,
109
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.040
you got a job, so bailing on Saturday night, the
110
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:02.759
busiest night.
111
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:02.959
No.
112
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.800
And I'm a busboy, and the bus boys you've got
113
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.639
to know what you're doing. You're working your ass off.
114
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.519
It was a Cajun creole restaurant, and so I was
115
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.399
pouring water all night long because everyone's mouths were burning up.
116
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.319
And I was like a pretty good bus boy. I
117
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.360
knew I could do well. In fact, I preferred being
118
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.160
a busboy over a waiter because I could just I
119
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.639
didn't have to talk to anybody. I just worked, you know,
120
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.439
clearing tables, pouring water, throwing down.
121
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:27.800
Baskets of bread.
122
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:33.120
Yes, you know that's it, making tables, you know, getting
123
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.079
ridto you know, setting tables.
124
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.639
And all that. Anyway, so he's sorry, He's really sorry.
125
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:44.519
I'm sorry everybody I apologize thirty nine years ago when
126
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.920
I left you guys hanging on a Saturday night. The
127
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.319
restaurant eventually closed. Who knows that could have been the
128
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.120
reason why that bad Saturday night.
129
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:55.639
I love it.
130
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.199
But on a serious note, though, I always ask people
131
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.279
because I used to worked at foods and retail, you know,
132
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.360
I always I always say this, and I want to
133
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.360
for you agree. People should at least do a few
134
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.560
shifts in flood service or retail. It teaches you so much,
135
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:13.120
doesn't it.
136
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.600
Oh yeah, Oh, I was a bus boy, I was
137
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.720
a waiter, I was a host, I was a cashier,
138
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.319
I was a cook, I was I was a sandwich
139
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:22.680
and a salad maker, and I made them let's a
140
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:23.439
cheesecake factory.
141
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:24.480
That was my very first job.
142
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:29.399
What yeah, So I've done one, two, three, four different restaurants,
143
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.920
and no, I get it.
144
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:31.079
Man.
145
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.839
I'm very very patient, and I'm you know, I'm usual,
146
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:35.879
I tip very well.
147
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.879
You know, I'm you know, I get it. I totally
148
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.160
get it. And I'm happy to say once I started
149
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:41.959
on days of our lives.
150
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.079
I have not gone back to the restaurant business, but
151
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.120
I still have that blue collar mentality.
152
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.319
I try to treat people respectfully.
153
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.199
And you know, no, we too, we get it. We
154
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:55.480
totally go trust it. Haling public. You know, I broke
155
00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.480
the morning shifts and I was taught to things two things.
156
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.560
One make sure the coffee is refilled all the time.
157
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.319
And I understand now because I drink coffee. And two
158
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.279
the eggs have to be the right way. The eggs
159
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.680
a certain way. You can mess up toast, they can't
160
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:14.439
mess up eggs.
161
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.360
And I was an online maker and the cheesecake factory
162
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.439
David Overton, who's the CEO and Worth Millions, he was
163
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.240
our general manager, and he wanted to make sure you
164
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.040
couldn't those eggs. When I I could flip them, I could.
165
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.000
I could break eggs with one hand, but I was like,
166
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.040
you had to not have any brown right brown on
167
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.560
the eggs. I mean like ye quote unquote burn but
168
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:38.759
they weren't burned, but it was like a little bit
169
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.879
about it. So you had to really keep your eye
170
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.120
on those eggs and make sure that they were flipped right.
171
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.800
And this is life lessons. Folks were giving you life lessons.
172
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:52.040
We're supposed to be talking about General hospital and the omens.
173
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:58.639
This is life lessons. Kids like life lessons. Oh that
174
00:07:59.000 --> 00:07:59.680
is hilarious.
175
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.879
But with gerald stuff, I do want to ask for
176
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.000
the day Players because you guys are playing a lot
177
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.519
out there, and how has that been for you in
178
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.399
terms of because you said you have your own thing,
179
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.199
the old musical stuff we all go about, but like,
180
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.319
how's it been helping you feed your musical stuff?
181
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.480
Well we should talk about that. I I've actually taken
182
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:17.920
a break.
183
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:18.839
I'm not. I'm not.
184
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.199
I didn't go out last week with the guys, and
185
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.800
I got the next few months. I'm letting Scott Reeves
186
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:24.120
do it.
187
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:25.920
Okay, Oh Scott, okay, good.
188
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.000
Yeah, So he's gonna take my place. There's just a
189
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.639
lot going on at home. I'm just sort of, you know,
190
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.519
rallying around my wife and our son, and we're.
191
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:37.720
I just need to be home on these weekends.
192
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.440
So I'm taking a few months off, and but I
193
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.200
love playing with the day Players and I'll be back.
194
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.519
I'll be back. Yeah, just yeah. It's just kind of
195
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.960
where we are in our in our family situation.
196
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.039
But how's it been though for you? Pay? I mean
197
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:52.519
doing this whole, I mean this is kind of good.
198
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:54.200
For before It's like a few gigs here and there
199
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.840
were you guys were really out there on the road
200
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.240
kind of well, I.
201
00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.440
Always I think those guys would go out once a
202
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.960
month if they could, I was saying. I told them
203
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.919
very the beginning, I can do it six times a year.
204
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.480
You know, my wife works full time, and I just
205
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.879
you know, it's just it. I don't need any more
206
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:14.200
than that. And it's it's a long ass weekend, great weekend,
207
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.080
great guys, great crowds. I love the set, I love
208
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.879
playing the music. I love singing songs. I'm singing the
209
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.159
together as a group. I love doing my solos. We
210
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.000
all we have we seem to have, like you know,
211
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.519
real flexibility in terms of what we can sing as
212
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.000
our solo so everyone gets a chance to you.
213
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:32.720
Know, express themselves individually.
214
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.399
And then we have these group numbers that everyone and
215
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.879
all the numbers, I mean, I'll sing. We sing a
216
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:42.080
few original songs, but mostly it's covers that everyone knows,
217
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:44.840
everyone can sing along, and we put our own little
218
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:50.240
you know, touch on it that the day players version
219
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.840
of these songs that you hear but not too far
220
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.240
from the version, but enough to you know, make people
221
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.879
excited that it's It's something we do a.
222
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.519
Lot of women's I love brought up.
223
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.960
I brought in Petula Clark's Downtown Oh Wow, one of
224
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.919
our last songs. And uh, you know, I dedicated to
225
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.440
when I first saw her on Edge Sullivan on my
226
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.080
old black and white television, and I I just thought
227
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:14.519
that she was just as cute as could be. It
228
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:15.840
was like my very first crush.
229
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:16.840
It was the beginning.
230
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:21.639
It was the beginning of my my female songstress crushes
231
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.080
that all through the years.
232
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.399
Then it went to Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt.
233
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:31.440
You know, my father loved Linda Ronstad. He thought the
234
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.879
hottest thing slice brand I remember that as a kid.
235
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.919
So she
was TOTSI TATSI. I mean, don't get me wrong.
236
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.759
I remember he was like a huge faith She was
237
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.480
so cute.
238
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.840
Of course he was good. But Tulia Clark.
239
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:52.559
Check out those old Ed Sullivan's black and white nineteen six. Adorable, adorable.
240
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:55.679
I love it, We love we love them.
241
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.840
We could write there, we can sing songs and write
242
00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:58.759
them and all kinds of stuff.
243
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.879
Yes, and it was only when are six or seven
244
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.120
years old, But all.
245
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:07.559
Right, it's funny, my my, my, my first crush was
246
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.240
Samantha Stevens on Bewitch. But then later it became Lindsay
247
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.399
Wagner on by a bonic woman and it's the fifty
248
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.519
at Verdi of I was like, I had a crush
249
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.840
on you when I was a kid for so long.
250
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.360
I just loved that you can rip a phone book
251
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.679
in half and that blonde. Hey, I was, I was
252
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:21.440
all I was all in.
253
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:23.279
I was all in you like the super you, like
254
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:28.759
the superpower, the powerful. I was like, with a touch
255
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:29.600
of magic.
256
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.519
Yes, she can take me down. But then you know
257
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.000
that's who nother story. But yeah, we we enjoyed. Oh
258
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:36.799
my god, I love that. That's very that's very cool
259
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.799
because I I guess now because you've done because you
260
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:40.440
were Christ and Taylor for a long time, so you've
261
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:45.320
done solo, duo group Donal three. Yeah, it's right, great,
262
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.039
that's very good, very good. Okay, now let's go on
263
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.879
to you. Let's go on. Well, well, first let's I
264
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:52.519
can't assulate for you. This is when I want to
265
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.360
ask you this. So recently two of your co stars
266
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.320
from Days for Our Lives have moved over to Y
267
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.399
and R. Yes, the wonderful timber Broun and I love
268
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.159
Lucas Adams and Lucas Adams. I know, they're both great people.
269
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.600
They went on one show as mother and son and
270
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.240
now on another show they're playing lovers and people are
271
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.440
just like, what but what's come up out of it
272
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:20.480
is your name. But for some reason they're saying, how
273
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:24.399
when
you and Jane did it worked? So I'm as
274
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.960
curious what are your thought because you've done it, You've
275
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.080
been there, so you've done that, So why do you
276
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:30.879
think it worked for people?
277
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:35.679
Well, so they were mother and son and now they're
278
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:36.720
together as a couple.
279
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:42.360
That's a little stranger. That might be a little more difficult.
280
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:49.399
Yeah, we were mother, we were lovers, became mother and son,
281
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:55.399
so and there wasn't you know, I love it. That's funny,
282
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.159
but that could be the reason why if there was
283
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.360
a little bit of you know, hesitation on the side
284
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.399
of the audience. Yes, well, you know, those two are
285
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:04.759
such terrific actors.
286
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:05.559
Yes they are.
287
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.519
They'll pull it off eventually, and I'm sure you know.
288
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:16.080
Actually it's funny because I don't remember them being a
289
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.559
real strong mother's son relationship, but you're right they were.
290
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.000
It was not for years and years and years, although
291
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.960
although also Angelica and Justin well, no, it was about.
292
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.240
Two or three years because I little stretch. There's a
293
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:28.759
little stretch.
294
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.559
Yeah, it was like two year stretch of very much
295
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.440
daily on the on the television.
296
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.679
So yes, well we can do it.
297
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:38.519
They can do it.
298
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.840
I could do it. But why do you think you
299
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:42.559
and Jane just work? I mean, you got you guys
300
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:44.559
are lifelong friends here at this point. But why do
301
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:45.679
you think it works.
302
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:47.399
Well?
303
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:53.799
Because I think I mean again, I think again, I
304
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.639
think it was easier being going from lovers to mother
305
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:00.000
and son. But I think that what worked probably just
306
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.759
because you know, Jane and I are good actors and
307
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.480
we really committed to it. And the writers, I mean,
308
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.720
you got to you know, it's it's just it's in
309
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.200
the writing.
310
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:13.759
And yeah, I don't know, I can't, you know, I'm hard.
311
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:15.879
To explain, but but I just know I love those
312
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:16.440
two actors.
313
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.320
So I got to start watching that. I didn't know that.
314
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:21.799
That was h and I know of them if they
315
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:23.919
both I told them I love I love them too.
316
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:30.080
They're really good talking about you know, both Days and
317
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.799
Gas have lost a lot of people, which happens. You
318
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.600
lose people as you stay on shows for a long time.
319
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.200
But just recently, the last couple of years, a bunch
320
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.919
of icons on both shows have have passed.
321
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:43.799
Can you tell us a little bit about just kind
322
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:44.840
of on your end.
323
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.320
Of this being on both shows have had this, how's
324
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.080
it kind of been for you navigating that.
325
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.799
Well, it's been, it's been.
326
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.000
It's been sad obviously and heartbreaking not being able to
327
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.679
work with them. Yeah, but I also want to make
328
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:06.519
a confession in that I regret that I didn't see
329
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:10.320
them more outside of work. You know, we lived so
330
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:14.679
far away from each other, and you know, the relationships
331
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.279
at work are great and they can be close, and
332
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.759
they are, they just aren't especially actors you learn to be.
333
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.799
You're sharing an emotional life with that other character, with
334
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.960
that other actor, and you're really you know, you're bonding
335
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.080
in a very very deep way when you're dealing with emotion,
336
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:36.399
you know. But I really do regret, like I regret
337
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:39.240
having not hanging out more of a John Annist. I
338
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.039
mean there was a time when he lived right up
339
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.279
the street too. I mean when we both lived in
340
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.600
Hollywood together. Wow, I mean he could have you know,
341
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.279
we both could have worked harder at it.
342
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.440
But I just love.
343
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.320
Seeing them all and I just you know, I regret
344
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:57.240
not you know, hanging out more Tony. You know Tony Geary, Yes,
345
00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.320
you too, live right up the street. I just had
346
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:00.679
to make the effort. I just have to make the
347
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.919
effort of just like, hey, let's go have dinner, because
348
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.480
we did it once or twice, and we're like, we
349
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.679
got to do this more
often, you know, Leslie Charleston.
350
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.799
You know, I wish I'd spend more time with her
351
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.600
outside of work. She's so lovely, and you know, I
352
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.759
wish that, you know, I'd had more parties and invited
353
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.240
more cast And so I guess that's I mean, that's
354
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:27.080
something that's probably natural when you lose somebody family or
355
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.200
close friends, Like I should have reached out more, I
356
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:31.440
should have called more.
357
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:35.360
I should have you know, been a better friend in
358
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:37.639
a way, you know what I mean. And so I
359
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.399
do feel bad about that. Yeah, I do feel bad.
360
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:43.799
About Well, you know, it's interesting because now we lead
361
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:50.080
into Monica. They fight how to address that Monica now
362
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:54.919
has passed. It was raised because ned I love. They
363
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.559
brought it up a couple of times. Well you didn't
364
00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.960
play it at the time, but had a different high
365
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.840
relationship with Monica. Yeah, I know, they brought it up
366
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.119
a couple of times, like, well, you know that was
367
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.039
hilarious because you guys, because you didn't play it. That
368
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:09.480
was somebody else who played it. But it was like,
369
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.680
you know, as part of the net history. I thought
370
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.279
that was kind of fun. And how has it been
371
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:21.079
for you as an actor to watch Jane Elliotts kind
372
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.279
of coming to her her own as now playing the
373
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.000
matriarch of the quartermain family.
374
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.480
Hold on just a second. For some reason, I lost you.
375
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.319
Do you see me? I see you, Okay, I can't
376
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:33.640
see you.
377
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:35.640
For some reason, the zoom is is gone, so I
378
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.920
want to make sure that I'm on here. I'm going
379
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.880
to redo zoom Okay. For some reason, I just disappeared
380
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:44.319
back to the main page.
381
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:46.200
Oh there you are, Okay, here we go.
382
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:47.359
That's weird.
383
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:51.200
It just disappeared. I tell Jane all the time. I go, Jane,
384
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:52.079
look at.
385
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.880
You at the star of the show.
386
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.240
She is, I said, I said, how are you doing?
387
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.759
I mean, like, first of all, I mean, just be honest,
388
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:02.759
and I mean she doesn't watch stuff, she doesn't follow
389
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.480
social media. I tell her all the time. The fans
390
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.519
love you, Jane. They love you, and I'm so glad
391
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:11.759
that you're back because you're great for the show and
392
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:14.880
you're kicking ass. And I know she really retired to
393
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.519
really retire. She wants that's it. So she must have
394
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.079
gotten board.
395
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.039
Were you shocked when she came back where you're like, oh,
396
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.119
that's why I talk to you. Were like, she's done,
397
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.640
she out out.
398
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:31.079
She was out, she's gone done. You know, we had
399
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:35.000
a big party for her. Yeah, that was it. And
400
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:36.559
so when she came back for a couple of months
401
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:39.759
and then the three or four months and six months, well,
402
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:43.160
now of course she's under contract. I'm under contract. She's
403
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:47.680
under contract. She has just like, I mean, lots of lines.
404
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.680
I mean, I come in, I'm like, Jane, you're killing it.
405
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.519
I just love it.
406
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.240
You're just I'm so proud of you.
407
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:56.079
And I'm like and I'm just like, it's just great
408
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.279
to see her because first of all, she's terrific and
409
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.440
she she's of talent that and I know, because at
410
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:07.240
my age, you do you become a better artist. You
411
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.319
trust your instincts. You you know you don't have to
412
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:15.680
You're not you're not thinking so much about the craft
413
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:20.240
as much as just like what your character's doing and
414
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.680
bringing magic as much magic as you can bring to it.
415
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.039
And and that's what Jane's doing. You can tell that
416
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.880
she's just like relying on her instinct all those years
417
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:35.599
of movies and producing and acting on different soaps, and
418
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.799
you know, I just see her still working and still
419
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:44.039
you know, messing with lines and making it work for
420
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:46.839
her and making it you know, talking to the director
421
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:48.920
about things and how we can make it better or
422
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:52.119
different or whatever she needs. And she's still you know,
423
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.359
obviously a really flexible actress, and she's great to work with.
424
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.759
And she's just such a mentor for everyone, not just
425
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.400
me still, but for everyone. All the young kids and
426
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.759
the kids love her. I mean she's really close to
427
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.440
some of the younger actors. I'm like, I just want again.
428
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.279
I mean, I could be a better friend with Jane,
429
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:10.920
but I'm you know, I'm busy. I know Jane's busy,
430
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.680
but I mean she has these relationships with like Amanda
431
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.480
and Josh. I'm like, wow, they're just I mean like
432
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:20.960
they're like Josh is like helping her things with their
433
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:25.359
dressing room and the very close and Amanda, you know,
434
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:28.279
very very close. And I just love that about Jane
435
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.240
that she's really talking about somebody who has what I'm
436
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:34.240
just saying, how she's makes an effort to be with
437
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:37.200
her friends and and you know, and and that is
438
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.160
important and I could do better, and I want to
439
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:40.559
do better.
440
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:43.559
You know, Well, didn't she act with Elvis back in
441
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:43.960
the day to you?
442
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:46.519
Yeah, like she this is a girl who's been out
443
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:47.240
for a long time.
444
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.799
I'm not gonna say anything, but yeah, they were very close.
445
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:52.799
I read some stuff.
446
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.559
By the way, The point is she is considered a
447
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.079
national treasure now to most people, and so like she's
448
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:01.960
just like absolutely protect the protector everybody, just like please.
449
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:04.960
But it's been fun watching her maturation into this kind
450
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.519
of into that role on screen. It's like, oh, it's
451
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.480
just does make sense in the writing for the family.
452
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:11.839
Why not.
453
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:14.839
I worked on the show on Monday, and you know,
454
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.400
it was just so funny. I was like, Okay, we
455
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.680
got to make sure, you know, we gotta make sure
456
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:21.920
Tracy's got the last shot.
457
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:23.319
We got the last shot Tracy.
458
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:26.759
Every shot ends with a take of Tracy, and I'm
459
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:28.400
just like, there, it is the star of the show.
460
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.279
That's that's get Do we have that last reaction shot
461
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:33.720
on Tracy?
462
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:35.319
That's okay. I don't take it personally.
463
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:36.640
I know you don't. I know you don't.
464
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.720
Okay, I'm a fan too. Yeah, you know, she's she's
465
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.400
the money, she's the money. But you guys had a
466
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:45.559
scene not too long ago after that they gave me
467
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.960
a heart attack that was crazy to you. You had
468
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:51.319
a scene with Jane when she came back and found
469
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:56.160
out and came back that was so ned and tracy
470
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:58.400
but very sweet.
471
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.319
H's like you cannot die before me or whatever. I
472
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:04.400
found myself very touched by. I mean it was like
473
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.119
thinking of you guys as actors friends, but also this
474
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:12.880
long running, same actors playing the role relationship.
475
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:14.480
How is that? How is that for you?
476
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:17.680
Yeah? I mean that's the gold.
477
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.119
You know, that's the gold of being on a soap
478
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:24.400
opera and working with somebody for you know, thirty six years.
479
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:28.119
Not steady. Obviously she took a long break. I took
480
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:31.359
a break. But we've known each other and for so long,
481
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:35.440
and you know, we're just you know, we love each other,
482
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:38.920
We trust one another. You know, we really trust one
483
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.319
another too. And as when you're acting on the show,
484
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:43.759
on the set, you really do.
485
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:48.119
You're vulnerable. It's a very very vulnerable position.
486
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.519
You're putting your your body in you know, like I said,
487
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:53.960
your emotional life and all that stuff, and you have
488
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:58.160
to trust that other person and feel comfortable and and
489
00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:58.599
all of that.
490
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:01.200
And when you work with someone like that, you just
491
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:02.400
are you just have to.
492
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:06.359
Just say the lines, listen and allow it to sort
493
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.440
of unfold. And you know, we don't we run lines
494
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.240
and we work on it, but you know we both
495
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:19.039
know that we were we're available for what happens when
496
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.400
the cameras roll because we only get one take, so
497
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.680
we're we kind of know how to like just be
498
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:28.759
there during that one take, that performance moment. And I
499
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.400
didn't I never watched the show, but I
remember when
500
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.960
I did it. It's just always it's just always nice.
501
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:36.720
I always give her a hug, you know after scenes
502
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:38.000
like that and thank er.
503
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:40.359
Usually you know, we're.
504
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.759
All professional, like oh, we can be really totally intimate,
505
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.279
very dramatic, and then like, okay, see you later, you know,
506
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:46.480
see you tomorrow.
507
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:49.160
You walk off and he's like, you know.
508
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:51.920
Fred Flintstone, you know, like I'm going off to work
509
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:54.079
and you do your work and then you get on
510
00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:55.240
your little car you run off.
511
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:57.759
Yes, I remember that. Yeah, that's so funny.
512
00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:58.680
Stone wheels.
513
00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:01.599
No no, no, no, no going back home. It's just a job,
514
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:05.759
you know, time clock and the whole deal. And but
515
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:08.599
I try to, like, especially with Jane, I like, come here,
516
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:09.680
give me a hug.
517
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:10.640
Thank you.
518
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:12.799
That was great, you know what I mean, She's not
519
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:15.880
quite as expressive outside of the cameras rolling, so I
520
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:17.240
got to like get in there and give her a
521
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:18.079
hug sometimes.
522
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.279
And yeah, no, I got I should watch that. I
523
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.440
remember that that scene.
524
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.119
It was a really good it was. It was very
525
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:27.000
Ned and Tracy. That was very it was very them,
526
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:31.839
very Quartermaine. Yeah, but it was it was wonderfully touching.
527
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:35.279
It was like because she's not gonna be that over sense,
528
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:37.079
she's not gonna be that mother. And it's like, oh
529
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:39.720
my baby, she's not gonna do no no.
530
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:42.720
And Ned is not Wally. I mean, you know, he's
531
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:46.160
really not there. I have to stop myself sometimes from
532
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:49.559
because Wally Wally can be a little you know, a
533
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:52.920
little more gushy in a little bit more. I mean,
534
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.799
I'm a real crier, and I just like, you know,
535
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:58.960
Ned's not necessarily that. I mean, he's he's pretty you
536
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.319
want to he's raised by his mom and all of
537
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:02.680
that and he's so I got to make sure that
538
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.559
I stay in that lane of being an Ashton slash
539
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:14.519
quartermain cynical, still cynical and you know, critical and self critical,
540
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.400
which I think it is sort of a trait, a
541
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:21.119
quartermain trait as well as you know, which they overcompensate
542
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:24.079
with confidence, but it's because they're you know, feeling not
543
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:27.799
so confident. So I still, I mean, I still when
544
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:29.759
I work with with Jane and Tracy, when I do
545
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.640
Tracy scenes, I have to think about, you know, where
546
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:35.640
is Ned at at this moment, and and I really do.
547
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:38.000
Really make.
548
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:45.519
Decisions about how far you know he opens up or
549
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:46.839
you know what I mean, the performance.
550
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:50.079
I'm not just winging it. I do think about it.
551
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:51.400
You know. I love that.
552
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:55.920
Well, now they gave ned a grandson. I've worked with
553
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:58.319
their day, you know, you have Leo. Yeah, but for
554
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:00.759
the most part, as it's surround by women, it's like
555
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.599
all these women in his life. And so I'm like,
556
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:06.519
but now you got to you gotta you got another dude,
557
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.400
And they got a grown man. This is not some
558
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:12.680
little kid. Yeah, grown man. How's it been like working
559
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.960
with with Giovanni?
560
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.759
How's working with him?
561
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.839
It's great, it's great, and what a great little what
562
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:18.799
a great young actor.
563
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:21.200
And once again, when you when you start, when you
564
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.279
get on these soaps, it's mind boggling.
565
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:29.160
Yes, it is big time class classroom situation. You got
566
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.480
a ton of lines, got of like you have this,
567
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:35.160
especially with him. Most characters when they come on, they've
568
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:38.519
got a huge emotional storyline. You're either falling in love
569
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:40.480
or falling out of love or in his case was
570
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:41.640
like mom and dad and.
571
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:42.559
The whole situation.
572
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:46.599
So I'm just so proud of Geo. I thinking he's
573
00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:49.240
just done a great job. I mean, I'm just so
574
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:53.319
admire him just diving into it and everyone does.
575
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:55.240
I'm always impressed with these younger actors.
576
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:58.279
I mean, i mean they came right out of college
577
00:26:58.359 -->
00:27:00.359
and I'm not sure I could have done it. I
578
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:02.920
needed a few years to kind of just you know,
579
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:05.279
build up my confidence. You know, these young younger actors
580
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.720
sometimes can be come in but just like trusting their instincts,
581
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:11.599
we got this. They're just naturals, you know, and not
582
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:12.519
everyone's a natural.
583
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.440
They're not, you know, And him and and hung girl
584
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:21.559
plays Emma Brad and she's a great, great audition. I mean,
585
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:24.000
you're right, they're coming so like wow, they're just like
586
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:26.000
they're they're like ready to go. I mean, you're like
587
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.160
us at that age. I wasn't ready to go. I
588
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:30.680
mean I was ready to go, but I wasn't ready
589
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.759
to go. I mean, like you said, it took some
590
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:35.640
life experience first all I got there, but they seem
591
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:36.519
like they're just out the gate.
592
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:39.119
It's like, okay, here, we gotta just do this. Yeah.
593
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:42.400
Yeah, and the writing's there too, the writing who's been there.
594
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:43.920
And I think it's kind of cool to give Ned
595
00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:47.680
a grandson, but also him and Study never thought I
596
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.119
see that happen coming together. It was well for their grandson. Yeah,
597
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:54.200
you and Maurice get I love it.
598
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:56.000
I love it. It's awesome.
599
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:56.599
He's great.
600
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.200
And then of course you have a Manda too. I mean, yeah,
601
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:01.519
I love I love a man of so much. I
602
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:04.880
just think she's such a phenomenal actress. Right, so she
603
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:06.839
gets on screen on watching her.
604
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.279
Oh yeah, she's beautiful to look at. She's just so
605
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:15.000
talk about a natural, just absolutely a natural. And yeah, no,
606
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:17.880
she's terrific. I'm so lucky to have her working with her.
607
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:19.920
I worked with Josh in the day, was great working
608
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.519
with him.
609
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:21.559
Lovely actor.
610
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:24.039
I mean really honestly, I mean I just walk in
611
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:26.119
there and I'm like, so lucky, Lisa.
612
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.720
It's just the whole group. It's fantastic, very very cool.
613
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:31.880
But we have to mention because the reason why you
614
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:35.000
had a heart attack, I mean, and it's so funny
615
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:38.559
Cameron Matheson. It's so funny because he's such the the
616
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:41.880
kind of Christian family, all this kind of stuff, you know,
617
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:44.720
good guide real life, and then like he's playing this
618
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:49.640
really dastardly character. So when nian was having a heart attack,
619
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:51.880
We're like, no, it's Ned. You can't just walk away.
620
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:53.799
It's Ned, Like what do you do? I was like,
621
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:56.359
what are you doing? But that is the characters, folks,
622
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:57.160
that character.
623
00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:58.200
What was it?
624
00:28:58.279 --> 00:28:59.960
My kind of stinking. It's also he's like twenty fee
625
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:02.400
tall too. How's it like standing up to How was
626
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.319
those scenes for you? Like standing up to him and
627
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:04.799
just like.
628
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.960
Yeah, yeah, hey, so this is my last answer I got.
629
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.599
I realized that put out my son from school. But anyway,
630
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.880
real quick, yeah, I mean, let me just say this
631
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:19.839
about having a fake heart attack. Oh oh yeah, I
632
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:21.680
had a nurse that was there to sort of walk
633
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:23.799
me through it. And i'd done a little bit of
634
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:25.799
homework because I just had a physical the day before
635
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:28.440
and I asked my doctor, like, what's going on, and
636
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:30.319
it's like, your you know, your heart is trying to
637
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.519
catch a beat, trying to catch a beat. And so
638
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:35.480
I really did listen to her and try to do it.
639
00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:38.599
But I have to say I wouldn't want to redo that.
640
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:40.400
I wouldn't want to have a heart attack every day
641
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:43.079
on set, because there is something that your your body
642
00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:45.200
kind of just you're you're, you're, you know, in a
643
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:47.319
way it kind of goes through that a little bit,
644
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.400
not a lot, but a little bit enough to like,
645
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:53.839
you know, you're gasping, you're hyperventilating your breath, you're trying
646
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:54.680
to catch a heart beat.
647
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:56.680
So it was like it.
648
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:02.279
Was really kind of kind of dramatic, and I enjoyed
649
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.599
it because it was a real acting exercise.
650
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:08.240
It was really quite cathartic because.
651
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:14.480
It was such a uh, physically an emotional execution, you know,
652
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:16.240
of your of your body and everything having to.
653
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:17.039
Collapse and all that.
654
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:17.400
Yeah.
655
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:20.079
Yeah, and I thought people said it would look pretty good,
656
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.400
so I when I watched it, it looked okay.
657
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:23.160
I was happy with that.
658
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:24.880
Yeah, it was good. It was good. I mean I
659
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:27.759
was scotton with yet again either right, yikes.
660
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:30.200

I'm such a little I mean, I need a publicist,
667
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:42.960
I need to write it down on my program. So
668
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:45.519

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
