Speaker 3 (00:26):
Well that's very kind to you.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Silver Fox.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh my gosh, your hair's just as good as it
was back.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It really is. You got good hair.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Thank you God. I just I need to do this
every morning, my affirmations. How's it going good?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
My long time? No see.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I know I haven't seen you in a while. I
don't think I've ever seen Tori since I shot on
the show. But I saw you in an audition once.
Do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Nope?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
So I read for one of your sitcoms, like, oh
my god, I think it was your pilot. That was
a pilot for.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
What I Like about You or or for Mystery Girl?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
What was it? You know, I could be wrong about this.
What was the last eCOM you did that? Like? I
don't know, probably gosh.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I think it was called Mystery Girls, wasn't it that?
I think that would be my last one?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I can't remember I don't know is to like it
was to like play your husband or something.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, oh my god, it was Mystery Girls.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Does that make sense? Does that make sense that I
would have read for that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, we went a different direction.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
You went younger.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I think, well, go ahead to her, don't hold back.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We went a couple of different directions. Yeah, we went
in one direction, and then when we went to series,
we recast in a different direction that you would have
been perfect for. So you probably read for the pilot.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I think I read for the pilot. And she
was very sweet. She she actually she actually recognized me.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
She had a new type. What was your type? Jen
at that moment.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I don't think that I can say this, but I
liked a fuller figured man at the time.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, a fuller figured man. Okay, yeah I could have
been fuller figured probably, ye could you and you would.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
But let's define fuller figure. We could segue right here
and that your name on the show our show was Dick.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Thank you, Richard, it was Richard. Okay. We are so
nile that every time we see and talk about your character,
we call him Dick. And there's so many Dick jokes
from Steve Sanders, and everybody's making fun of your name
on the show. We had to make fun of it
on our podcast too, and it just got out of
(02:53):
control and now we just can't not laugh at it. Sorry,
of course makes sense, immature, and I am just.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's like, I don't know. I was like, I cannot
believe they named him dick, and I know there's Richard's everywhere,
which you could go by rich Ure.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
My name Richard though, Yeah, yeah, I think Claire corrected
him a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, you think it was just a straight dick?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I can't remember. It could have been.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It could have been exist now I think it's always
slightly curved and.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
It's called Peron's disease. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Do you know what a Coxswain is?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Do I know what a Coxswain is? Yeah? Isn't that
I have to do with boating or something?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yes, you must know from your research for the role.
Was it was it like Kathleen was your Coxswain's right.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
We've had so much fun though Coxswain and figuring out
what it is. Though, Wait, did you actually row? Did you? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
No, no, but I but I had to give you
a try in two roads, So I kind of knew
all about that stuff a little bit, and I'd been
to I went to San Diego State and so i'd
been down. I lived at the bay for a while
in the ocean in San Diego, which was amazing, And
so my cousin was on the team and so, like,
(04:19):
I knew a lot of people that were part of
their crew team, so I kind of knew stuff about it.
I'd never been in one of those boats, but I've been, like,
I went to some competitions to support friends, my cousin, whatever,
and so I kind of was around it a little bit.
So I kind of knew about it, but I'd never
done it before.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
It was really fun. Can you take us back to
the eighties though, with your first role in marriage?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Wait, Kay, has one more question about rowing? I don't
want no. I'm curious, Like it's so specific and it's
a big, big part of the episodes. Did they even
at any point offer the actors like, hey, we have
somebody here, like a coordinator, like a professional rower that
can show you how it looks, so it looked right?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Or no?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I or do you want to take a list?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
That's a good question. I have a feeling there was
somebody there. I think that was telling us. I think
there was there was a person on the set. Yeah,
I think I think there was somebody. Yeah, Coxman was
on the stand.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Do you remember auditioning for this role?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
You know, that's a that's a good question. I think
I did audition for this role. I think I read
for the director.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I feel like they hello, Uran teen witch, Like I
feel like they would have just offered you this.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Well. So you know, Tori, your father was very good
to me, and so he used to offer me a
lot of stuff. But I think that maybe this is
one of the first roles I ever did for him,
So I think so. I think although I had read
for him numerous times, and I could be long about this.
I did a pilot for him that was like that
(06:03):
was like around the Melrose Place time.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Which pilot do you remember?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I was called partners and it was it was about
it was about it was about a partnership of like doctors.
It was like three people and uh, it never got
picked up. But you know, like I went, you know,
I spent time with your dad, like you know, he
did wardrobe and you know, he was hands on with everything.
So you know, I did wardrobe in his office. You know,
(06:29):
he checked out my whole wardrobe and went over everything,
and you know, and all that stuff. And so so
after I did the pilot with him, everything was an offer.
After that pretty much what else did you do with him?
So I did love Boat for him, I did Perdition
Road for him, and those were all offers. He would
(06:50):
just softom And you know, I tell people this all
the time. This doesn't even well, I don't think it
exists for actors anymore. But back in the day, he
not only would he offer you if you worked for
him and he knew you, not only would he offer
you a role like a guest spot or whatever, but
he would actually pay double scale. So like so like
(07:13):
back then, let's say I can't remember what the things were,
but let's say it was, you know, thirty eight hundred
dollars an episode or something for an hour episodic or something.
He would double that and and it was so cool. Yeah,
it was so cool.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
So anyway, so yeah, so I did I did that.
I did, you know, I did like almost a full
season of Melrose Place, to which I believe was after
nine o two and zero m.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, it was our spin off.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, so so but I did you play on that?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
How do I not remember that?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So? I played a baseball player. I was with Brook Lanthon,
like so was Brooke lengthen and me And it was
the second So what happened was is that I was
I was, Uh, it was like a recurring I did
like eighteen episodes, but then I had a contract because
more regular the next year. And then they canceled the
show and they and they they got rid of everybody
(08:05):
and they brought back the original cast except Heather and
and so like the last season was just them or
something like that or just like whatever, and then that
was the last season.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So yeah, well you have to go on the Melrose
Place pod.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Oh yeah, did they have one? Huh?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
They do? Yeah, it's doing great. Sorry, Jen, I feel
Baden sorry to the eighties. Sorry, Yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I was just You've done so many great projects. You
started with Married with Children.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I did huge.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
That was like the same timeframe when nine O two
one oh and The Simpsons were coming up for Fox,
and then you went to to teen Witch as the
leading man. So going from a small role in a
Fox show, yeah to leading man so quickly what.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Was that like? Uh, well, you know, I mean I
just auditioned for those things that I com you know,
it's like, so what are you going to do? Uh? Yeah,
so I Uh so I did Team, which like in
eighty eight, eighty seven actually shot it started in eighty
seven and then it came out in eighty eight. And
(09:10):
then I got on a show on CBS called Tour Duty,
which was on for a couple of years. Uh. You know,
it's interesting after Tour Duty, this is kind of an
interesting thing. You know, I don't remember anything about pilots
and things like this. But did nine O two one
oh come out in like nineteen ninety Yeah, So this
is really fascinating because I knew Jason. You know, I
(09:31):
knew Jason like in the late eighties. You know, I
knew Jason. His best friend PJ. Johansson at the time
was like you guys know PJ, right, Paul. Yeah. So
so so like I knew all those guys and I
hung out with them and stuff, you know whatever, And
so I had no Jason. So I was doing a
pilot in New York and uh and the in the
(09:54):
first episode of nine O two one oh came out
that's why I remember this. I thought it was the nineties,
and I I watched it in my hotel room because
Jason was on it, and I watched the original pilot
because of that. Isn't that funny? Like I made a
point to watch it because he was on it, and
it was like, oh, Jason got a new show out.
I got to watch it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's so supportive.
Speaker 3 (10:13):

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Why it's defensive?
Speaker 3 (12:46):

Speaker 2 (12:48):
She ended up being in an episode of nine or two?
Well no, really rewatched on the pod and we were like,

was rammed.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I did not know that.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Wait. Can I ask you a question about Dick?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yes, indeed I know a lot about it. I know
a lot about it. I have personal experience, I would hope, so, yes,
I mean, you know, why did you dealing with it
long time?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Why did Dick wear so much sunscreen on his nose?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Not one episode?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Let them put a white nose on you your face?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
No, I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Okay, So the big rowing episode, the culmination of the rowing.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Like U in your I think it's his last episode, right, Nope,
oh my last episode.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I die don't don't don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Damn, you just ruined everything.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Done, told me no rules. Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
What could happen to Dick? Did he drown in the river?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
The lake? What do you want that first? Do you
want the sunscreen first?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Want the sunscreen first?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah? So I don't know why they put sunscreen on
my nose.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You're there suddenly now you're with Claire, and you had
a white triangle.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You know what? You know what? I wonder if it
was because do you remember when that became really that
frog stuff became really popular and they did it with colors.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Oh you remember that HER's was white?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Like? So somebody took what was the stuff called the
white stuff called zinc zink oxide. So somebody at my college,
San Diego State came up with coloring zinc oxide and
that became a thing and made like all this money
off of it. And so I wonder if that's what
it was, If it was a product placement.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I don't know it looks or so Steve could make
fun of you.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Okay, So I don't remember things, first of all, and
second of all, I've never watched the show and we
haven't gotten to the part where it happens.

I have a studio in Palm Springs. Have you guys
ever been to Coachella? Have you ever gone?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
She has, I've never been. I want to go one year,
just to experience it. I used to have fears, so
I was scared to do stuff. Now I want to
do it.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I guess it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You haven't been, and.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I haven't been. I don't like concerts. With giant crowds.
I'm not I'm I'm too old for that stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
We don't either, we don't like crowds.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
What's it like having your own acting studio?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Uh, it's it's interesting. I mean a lot of people,
so it's truly. Yeah, And a lot of people come
in from from like all over the world, you know,
to Palm Springs. It's a very you know, famous place
to come a vacation. A lot of snowbirds from Canada
and stuff like that, and so and from New York
and so I do a lot of self tapes with
(18:18):
people that are coming in and reading for things.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh great, yeah, yeah, why did you move to Palm Springs? Originally?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I don't live in Palm Springs. I live in Joshua Tree.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Wait a second. You just said you live in Palm Springs,
not Coach And now you're saying you live in Joshua Tree.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I am.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I'm also doing Heroin.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I love Joshua Tree. That's so cool.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
So that's where I live, and I drive down here
to have a studio because obviously this is more of
a central place.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah understood. Wow, But you and Lisa raised your son
in La in.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
La and New York City because I was on New
York did you decide to leave? So eleven years ago
twenty thirteen, bought a house and and then and we
were going back and forth, and then we just decided
that we just liked it so much that we you know,
(19:19):
we have some acreage and stuff with beautiful views and stuff,
and so we just decided that we would do that.
And then when the pandemic happened, it became like, well,
this was phenomenal that we did this, and uh, and
so now we don't have to really drive town. I mean,
I have to drive to LA for jobs, but I
don't have to really drive for auditions or anything. Right,
(19:41):
I haven't. I haven't been in an in person audition
since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Who has?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Right?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I think pretty much live anywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, so you can live anywhere. So it's been really
good as far as that goes.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, where's your son live?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
He's in New York, in New York Okay? Yeah, yeah,
so he lived in New York and he's getting married
this summer. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, so it's actually know what that means? Yes, I
hope so, I hope it means that your grandpa suit.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I can't wait. I can't wait. I'm super pumped for
that for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, I know that's so exciting when your kids have
a kid and then you can love it and have
fun with it and take care of it and then
give it back to them.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yes, are you for that part? You have grandkids? Any
of you?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
She was not yet, said I want so bad.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, me too, me too, me too, me too.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
So Jen has three girls, I have five kids, So
we're hoping for a lot of grandkids.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Oh, that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I'll take like one or two. I'm good with that.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, I'm super pumped. Man. I might have to move
to New York or something.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I don't know to be closer to it. How do
you miss out like that?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, no, I can't. So we're we're trying to figure
that out. I don't know what we're going to do,
but we got to figure it out. But yeah, I'm
certainly not going to be three thousand miles away to
go to Hudson Valley.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I don't know how far that is from the city.
But if you were living in Joshua Tree now, you
want to be somewhere beautiful, and I've heard never been,
but I heard Hudson Valleys really beautiful.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah, I'm because I lived in New York for about
four years, so we drove all around a lot. So
we have a good idea. It's just on what side,
Like if they moved to Long Island or something like
that and you live in Hudson Vyvand you're like really
far away, So it's you know what I'm saying. So
it's got to be one of those things where you
kind of logistically figured out we're the best place to
(21:29):
be is as far as being close. You want the
kid to be able to be dropped off, right so
they can go have fun and do their thing and
all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Right, You're going to be such a good granddaddy. Granddaddy,
what are you going to be called?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Oh, it's a good question, gilf Ah, that's funny. You're
just full of compliment. Story. It's so sweet of you.
This is great for my ego.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Perfect, Poor Lisa after this.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah, I did all the whole You know what Tory said?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Do you ever keep in touch with Jason?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I have not talked to Jason in so long, gosh,
I don't even know the last time I saw him. No,
So the answer is no, I've run into Ian before,
but it's been fifteen years or something. Ian was really
great because I worked with him the most on thee.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Jen Should we let him row?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I like you, you can't say Ian.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It can't win.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You can't say Ian. You have to say Ian.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Ian. Sorry. I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Sorry, I just don't want you, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I remember the first time he told me that, of
course I know it's Ian. I know it's Ian, and
I always make that mistake. And I worked with the
producer one time with the same name, and his name
was Ian and he very confusing.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Typically it's pronounced Ian, like you you meet more Ian's
than you do Ian. But we have known him for
him and family for so long that even to this
day we get like PTSD and get like it's like
a triggering thing when we're somewhere and someone says Ian
and we both just are like that, here comes.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I feel so unprofessional. And of course I remember that
he was so he was so, so, so, so so
cool to me. Yes, he's the nicest guy. He's awesome,
welcoming cool.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
We went for a drive and his brand new hopped up.
I can't remember what it was Corvette was it was
and I don't think it was a Corvette.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I think and realized or like a sang Or charger
or something, yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Something like that. Yeah. So he had just gotten it,
like just gotten it back from all the work or whatever,
like you know whatever, And we went down Pch and
just went up for it. Was super cool. Yeah. So
he was awesome, and so it was Kathleen. She was
awesome too.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Well, I'm so glad you've had a good experience on
the show. We loved watching you. We thought you and
Claire looked great together.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
And was that her.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I didn't think they looked great together.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I did two beautiful people, like beautiful.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
People, but I don't know, it just wasn't I didn't
feel like they're.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
A street didn't have chemistry.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It felt like a forced setup because they're like the
Steve thing. And it didn't feel like Claire to just
like immediately jump into something with somebody. And I don't
feel like Dick was kind of her like type of guy,
to be honest.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Interesting, she was trying something polar opposite of Steve.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, you guys look great together.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, even when you're wearing the oxide stuff on your nose.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah, it was fine. I overcame it, yep, for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah, Oh my gosh. I remember when I first saw
a teen witch. I had such a crush on you.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Why did you tell your dad to hire me? Then?
That's what you did for Jason?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I probably did. Why do you think you kept working
for hell? I probably for sure saw teen, which I
was like, oh my gosh, this probably you probably did.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
You were young when that came out, too, weren't you
o that young? I guess what were you like, fifteen, fourteen,
fifteen something like that.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You said it came out in eighty seven. Eighty says
it eighty eight. Google says it came out in eighty nine.
We can't trust Google.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Oh yeah, so maybe it was. Maybe it was eighty nine.
Maybe maybe that's true.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I don't know. I don't do math. I was like fourteen,
you were fifteen.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
She was fifteen fifty yeah yeah fifteen Yeah makes sense.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
But you and this is so nice to talk to you.
Go down memory lane and thank you for spoiling the
entire show for me.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Oh I wish somebody would have given me notes. Do
not tell her any No, No, we're joking with you.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
This is we're talking you and you play that character,
and that's what happens.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I'm an actress, so I'll just act like you didn't
tell me.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Oh okay, it's a running joke. Sorry, we should have
said that that She shed never rewatched the show until
now that we do the podcast, and there are some
things sometimes even that she doesn't remember, like storylines and things. Sure,
so we bust her balls, not her dick, and we
love to give her a lot of crap about like, oh,
(26:27):
you don't remember. So it's just a joke. Sorry at
your expensive Oh no worries.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I don't take it personally. I just didn't want to
ruin anything for maybe the viewers or something.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
You know, she's still going to enjoy it. You know why,
because Cliff Jeger tries to save you and she loves him.
She loves that character.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Ah, that's the fireman. Yeah, that's great. Did you have
a thing with him on the show?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
No, No, Donna did, Dona David right, that's right, I
came in.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I forgot and I did in real life as well.
Well just oh did you really.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Flinch? Did you? Did you just have like a reaction me?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Well, I didn't want to sound like. I would hate
for him to hear this and be like, I have
a little PTSD because I would always say, like, Brian
and I dated, and Brian's I don't remember it that way,
and I was like, oh, it's so different from a
young girl's perspective, and then a young boys yeah I.
Speaker 1 (27:29):

Not a committed relationship, if you're just like loosely like
kind of like dating or we've gone on a couple
of dates whatever this guy I'm talking to, until it's

the program.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Jen.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
My kids haven't had one. Jen.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I think it's called dating, but that's serious to them,

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Well, Tory, we didn't spend a lot of time together.
I know. The only people that I spent time with

And I did spend time with Jason because he was
in it because we had a basketball team, right, so
we all played as Iron. Jason and I were on
(29:38):
a basketball team together. If you guys remember, we don't

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Silver Fox.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh my gosh, your hair's just as good as it

Speaker 1 (00:33):
It really is. You got good hair.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Thank you God. I just I need to do this
every morning, my affirmations. How's it going good?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
My long time? No see.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I know I haven't seen you in a while. I
don't think I've ever seen Tori since I shot on
the show. But I saw you in an audition once.
Do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Nope?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
So I read for one of your sitcoms, like, oh
my god, I think it was your pilot. That was
a pilot for.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
What I Like about You or or for Mystery Girl?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
What was it? You know, I could be wrong about this.
What was the last eCOM you did that? Like? I
don't know, probably gosh.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I think it was called Mystery Girls, wasn't it that?
I think that would be my last one?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I can't remember I don't know is to like it
was to like play your husband or something.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, oh my god, it was Mystery Girls.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Does that make sense? Does that make sense that I
would have read for that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, we went a different direction.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
You went younger.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I think, well, go ahead to her, don't hold back.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We went a couple of different directions. Yeah, we went
in one direction, and then when we went to series,
we recast in a different direction that you would have
been perfect for. So you probably read for the pilot.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I think I read for the pilot. And she
was very sweet. She she actually she actually recognized me.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
She had a new type. What was your type? Jen
at that moment.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I don't think that I can say this, but I
liked a fuller figured man at the time.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, a fuller figured man. Okay, yeah I could have
been fuller figured probably, ye could you and you would.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
But let's define fuller figure. We could segue right here
and that your name on the show our show was Dick.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Thank you, Richard, it was Richard. Okay. We are so
nile that every time we see and talk about your character,
we call him Dick. And there's so many Dick jokes
from Steve Sanders, and everybody's making fun of your name
on the show. We had to make fun of it
on our podcast too, and it just got out of
(02:53):
control and now we just can't not laugh at it. Sorry,
of course makes sense, immature, and I am just.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's like, I don't know. I was like, I cannot
believe they named him dick, and I know there's Richard's everywhere,
which you could go by rich Ure.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
My name Richard though, Yeah, yeah, I think Claire corrected
him a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, you think it was just a straight dick?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I can't remember. It could have been.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It could have been exist now I think it's always
slightly curved and.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
It's called Peron's disease. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Do you know what a Coxswain is?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Do I know what a Coxswain is? Yeah? Isn't that
I have to do with boating or something?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yes, you must know from your research for the role.
Was it was it like Kathleen was your Coxswain's right.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
We've had so much fun though Coxswain and figuring out
what it is. Though, Wait, did you actually row? Did you? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
No, no, but I but I had to give you
a try in two roads, So I kind of knew
all about that stuff a little bit, and I'd been
to I went to San Diego State and so i'd
been down. I lived at the bay for a while
in the ocean in San Diego, which was amazing, And
so my cousin was on the team and so, like,
(04:19):
I knew a lot of people that were part of
their crew team, so I kind of knew stuff about it.
I'd never been in one of those boats, but I've been, like,
I went to some competitions to support friends, my cousin, whatever,
and so I kind of was around it a little bit.
So I kind of knew about it, but I'd never
done it before.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
It was really fun. Can you take us back to
the eighties though, with your first role in marriage?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Wait, Kay, has one more question about rowing? I don't
want no. I'm curious, Like it's so specific and it's
a big, big part of the episodes. Did they even
at any point offer the actors like, hey, we have
somebody here, like a coordinator, like a professional rower that
can show you how it looks, so it looked right?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Or no?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I or do you want to take a list?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
That's a good question. I have a feeling there was
somebody there. I think that was telling us. I think
there was there was a person on the set. Yeah,
I think I think there was somebody. Yeah, Coxman was
on the stand.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Do you remember auditioning for this role?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
You know, that's a that's a good question. I think
I did audition for this role. I think I read
for the director.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I feel like they hello, Uran teen witch, Like I
feel like they would have just offered you this.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Well. So you know, Tori, your father was very good
to me, and so he used to offer me a
lot of stuff. But I think that maybe this is
one of the first roles I ever did for him,
So I think so. I think although I had read
for him numerous times, and I could be long about this.
I did a pilot for him that was like that
(06:03):
was like around the Melrose Place time.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Which pilot do you remember?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I was called partners and it was it was about
it was about it was about a partnership of like doctors.
It was like three people and uh, it never got
picked up. But you know, like I went, you know,
I spent time with your dad, like you know, he
did wardrobe and you know, he was hands on with everything.
So you know, I did wardrobe in his office. You know,
(06:29):
he checked out my whole wardrobe and went over everything,
and you know, and all that stuff. And so so
after I did the pilot with him, everything was an offer.
After that pretty much what else did you do with him?
So I did love Boat for him, I did Perdition
Road for him, and those were all offers. He would
(06:50):
just softom And you know, I tell people this all
the time. This doesn't even well, I don't think it
exists for actors anymore. But back in the day, he
not only would he offer you if you worked for
him and he knew you, not only would he offer
you a role like a guest spot or whatever, but
he would actually pay double scale. So like so like
(07:13):
back then, let's say I can't remember what the things were,
but let's say it was, you know, thirty eight hundred
dollars an episode or something for an hour episodic or something.
He would double that and and it was so cool. Yeah,
it was so cool.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
So anyway, so yeah, so I did I did that.
I did, you know, I did like almost a full
season of Melrose Place, to which I believe was after
nine o two and zero m.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, it was our spin off.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, so so but I did you play on that?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
How do I not remember that?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So? I played a baseball player. I was with Brook Lanthon,
like so was Brooke lengthen and me And it was
the second So what happened was is that I was
I was, Uh, it was like a recurring I did
like eighteen episodes, but then I had a contract because
more regular the next year. And then they canceled the
show and they and they they got rid of everybody
(08:05):
and they brought back the original cast except Heather and
and so like the last season was just them or
something like that or just like whatever, and then that
was the last season.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So yeah, well you have to go on the Melrose
Place pod.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Oh yeah, did they have one? Huh?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
They do? Yeah, it's doing great. Sorry, Jen, I feel
Baden sorry to the eighties. Sorry, Yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I was just You've done so many great projects. You
started with Married with Children.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I did huge.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
That was like the same timeframe when nine O two
one oh and The Simpsons were coming up for Fox,
and then you went to to teen Witch as the
leading man. So going from a small role in a
Fox show, yeah to leading man so quickly what.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Was that like? Uh, well, you know, I mean I
just auditioned for those things that I com you know,
it's like, so what are you going to do? Uh? Yeah,
so I Uh so I did Team, which like in
eighty eight, eighty seven actually shot it started in eighty
seven and then it came out in eighty eight. And
(09:10):
then I got on a show on CBS called Tour Duty,
which was on for a couple of years. Uh. You know,
it's interesting after Tour Duty, this is kind of an
interesting thing. You know, I don't remember anything about pilots
and things like this. But did nine O two one
oh come out in like nineteen ninety Yeah, So this
is really fascinating because I knew Jason. You know, I
(09:31):
knew Jason like in the late eighties. You know, I
knew Jason. His best friend PJ. Johansson at the time
was like you guys know PJ, right, Paul. Yeah. So
so so like I knew all those guys and I
hung out with them and stuff, you know whatever, And
so I had no Jason. So I was doing a
pilot in New York and uh and the in the
(09:54):
first episode of nine O two one oh came out
that's why I remember this. I thought it was the nineties,
and I I watched it in my hotel room because
Jason was on it, and I watched the original pilot
because of that. Isn't that funny? Like I made a
point to watch it because he was on it, and
it was like, oh, Jason got a new show out.
I got to watch it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's so supportive.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It when Paul was actually on nine O two and
zero and was a very naughty character to Jen's character Kelly.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Oh yeah, was he on in the high school years
or yeah? Yeah yeah. So anyway, so yeah, so I
did you know I did married with Children. I had
like one word, unmarried with children. I did like it.

her later on and why we were filming it. She
came in and sat on my lap. She goes, you
remember this, and I was like, huh, oh, you did it.
Speaker 1 (11:03):

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Wait were they dating while they did that?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Tiffany and him?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yes? Do you know about this?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Oh? No, I don't think so. And I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Why it's defensive?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
How can you say that? No?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
She ended up being in an episode of nine or two?
Well no, really rewatched on the pod and we were like,
why is Polly Shore in this? And like, yeah, it
was rammed.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I did not know that.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Wait. Can I ask you a question about Dick?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yes, indeed I know a lot about it. I know
a lot about it. I have personal experience, I would hope, so, yes,
I mean, you know, why did you dealing with it
long time?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Why did Dick wear so much sunscreen on his nose?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Not one episode?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Let them put a white nose on you your face?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
No, I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Okay, So the big rowing episode, the culmination of the rowing.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Like U in your I think it's his last episode, right, Nope,
oh my last episode.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I die don't don't don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Damn, you just ruined everything.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Done, told me no rules. Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
What could happen to Dick? Did he drown in the river?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
The lake? What do you want that first? Do you
want the sunscreen first?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Want the sunscreen first?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah? So I don't know why they put sunscreen on
my nose.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You're there suddenly now you're with Claire, and you had
a white triangle.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You know what? You know what? I wonder if it
was because do you remember when that became really that
frog stuff became really popular and they did it with colors.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Oh you remember that HER's was white?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Like? So somebody took what was the stuff called the
white stuff called zinc zink oxide. So somebody at my college,
San Diego State came up with coloring zinc oxide and
that became a thing and made like all this money
off of it. And so I wonder if that's what
it was, If it was a product placement.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I don't know it looks or so Steve could make
fun of you.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Okay, So I don't remember things, first of all, and
second of all, I've never watched the show and we
haven't gotten to the part where it happens.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Okay, Jen, brace yourself. It's gnarly taking us back to
the eighties for a second.

episode that taught a lot of people to stay it was.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
In mouth to mouth, Yeah, I think they had no things,

Speaker 2 (16:53):
She had handed that part over to me and I
could have done that, that's right, although I see Greg
Vaughan his mouth on on dick anyway.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yes, of course you do much better at it than
he had any Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Wow, this is so fun. Tell us what you're working
on now? Because I heard that you have an acting
studio in Coachella.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I do.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I have a studio in Palm Springs. Have you guys
ever been to Coachella? Have you ever gone?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
She has, I've never been. I want to go one year,
just to experience it. I used to have fears, so
I was scared to do stuff. Now I want to
do it.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I guess it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You haven't been, and.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I haven't been. I don't like concerts. With giant crowds.
I'm not I'm I'm too old for that stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
We don't either, we don't like crowds.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
What's it like having your own acting studio?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Uh, it's it's interesting. I mean a lot of people,
so it's truly. Yeah, And a lot of people come
in from from like all over the world, you know,
to Palm Springs. It's a very you know, famous place
to come a vacation. A lot of snowbirds from Canada
and stuff like that, and so and from New York
and so I do a lot of self tapes with
(18:18):
people that are coming in and reading for things.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh great, yeah, yeah, why did you move to Palm Springs? Originally?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I don't live in Palm Springs. I live in Joshua Tree.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Wait a second. You just said you live in Palm Springs,
not Coach And now you're saying you live in Joshua Tree.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I am.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I'm also doing Heroin.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I love Joshua Tree. That's so cool.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
So that's where I live, and I drive down here
to have a studio because obviously this is more of
a central place.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah understood. Wow, But you and Lisa raised your son
in La in.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
La and New York City because I was on New
York did you decide to leave? So eleven years ago
twenty thirteen, bought a house and and then and we
were going back and forth, and then we just decided
that we just liked it so much that we you know,
(19:19):
we have some acreage and stuff with beautiful views and stuff,
and so we just decided that we would do that.
And then when the pandemic happened, it became like, well,
this was phenomenal that we did this, and uh, and
so now we don't have to really drive town. I mean,
I have to drive to LA for jobs, but I
don't have to really drive for auditions or anything. Right,
(19:41):
I haven't. I haven't been in an in person audition
since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Who has?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Right?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I think pretty much live anywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, so you can live anywhere. So it's been really
good as far as that goes.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, where's your son live?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
He's in New York, in New York Okay? Yeah, yeah,
so he lived in New York and he's getting married
this summer. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah, so it's actually know what that means? Yes, I
hope so, I hope it means that your grandpa suit.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I can't wait. I can't wait. I'm super pumped for
that for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, I know that's so exciting when your kids have
a kid and then you can love it and have
fun with it and take care of it and then
give it back to them.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yes, are you for that part? You have grandkids? Any
of you?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
She was not yet, said I want so bad.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, me too, me too, me too, me too.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
So Jen has three girls, I have five kids, So
we're hoping for a lot of grandkids.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Oh, that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I'll take like one or two. I'm good with that.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, I'm super pumped. Man. I might have to move
to New York or something.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I don't know to be closer to it. How do
you miss out like that?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, no, I can't. So we're we're trying to figure
that out. I don't know what we're going to do,
but we got to figure it out. But yeah, I'm
certainly not going to be three thousand miles away to
go to Hudson Valley.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I don't know how far that is from the city.
But if you were living in Joshua Tree now, you
want to be somewhere beautiful, and I've heard never been,
but I heard Hudson Valleys really beautiful.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah, I'm because I lived in New York for about
four years, so we drove all around a lot. So
we have a good idea. It's just on what side,
Like if they moved to Long Island or something like
that and you live in Hudson Vyvand you're like really
far away, So it's you know what I'm saying. So
it's got to be one of those things where you
kind of logistically figured out we're the best place to
(21:29):
be is as far as being close. You want the
kid to be able to be dropped off, right so
they can go have fun and do their thing and
all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Right, You're going to be such a good granddaddy. Granddaddy,
what are you going to be called?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Oh, it's a good question, gilf Ah, that's funny. You're
just full of compliment. Story. It's so sweet of you.
This is great for my ego.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Perfect, Poor Lisa after this.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah, I did all the whole You know what Tory said?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Do you ever keep in touch with Jason?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I have not talked to Jason in so long, gosh,
I don't even know the last time I saw him. No,
So the answer is no, I've run into Ian before,
but it's been fifteen years or something. Ian was really
great because I worked with him the most on thee.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Jen Should we let him row?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I like you, you can't say Ian.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It can't win.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You can't say Ian. You have to say Ian.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Ian. Sorry. I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Sorry, I just don't want you, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I remember the first time he told me that, of
course I know it's Ian. I know it's Ian, and
I always make that mistake. And I worked with the
producer one time with the same name, and his name
was Ian and he very confusing.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Typically it's pronounced Ian, like you you meet more Ian's
than you do Ian. But we have known him for
him and family for so long that even to this
day we get like PTSD and get like it's like
a triggering thing when we're somewhere and someone says Ian
and we both just are like that, here comes.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I feel so unprofessional. And of course I remember that
he was so he was so, so, so, so so
cool to me. Yes, he's the nicest guy. He's awesome,
welcoming cool.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
We went for a drive and his brand new hopped up.
I can't remember what it was Corvette was it was
and I don't think it was a Corvette.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I think and realized or like a sang Or charger
or something, yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Something like that. Yeah. So he had just gotten it,
like just gotten it back from all the work or whatever,
like you know whatever, And we went down Pch and
just went up for it. Was super cool. Yeah. So
he was awesome, and so it was Kathleen. She was
awesome too.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Well, I'm so glad you've had a good experience on
the show. We loved watching you. We thought you and
Claire looked great together.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
And was that her.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I didn't think they looked great together.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I did two beautiful people, like beautiful.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
People, but I don't know, it just wasn't I didn't
feel like they're.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
A street didn't have chemistry.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It felt like a forced setup because they're like the
Steve thing. And it didn't feel like Claire to just
like immediately jump into something with somebody. And I don't
feel like Dick was kind of her like type of guy,
to be honest.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Interesting, she was trying something polar opposite of Steve.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, you guys look great together.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, even when you're wearing the oxide stuff on your nose.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah, it was fine. I overcame it, yep, for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah, Oh my gosh. I remember when I first saw
a teen witch. I had such a crush on you.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Why did you tell your dad to hire me? Then?
That's what you did for Jason?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I probably did. Why do you think you kept working
for hell? I probably for sure saw teen, which I
was like, oh my gosh, this probably you probably did.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
You were young when that came out, too, weren't you
o that young? I guess what were you like, fifteen, fourteen,
fifteen something like that.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You said it came out in eighty seven. Eighty says
it eighty eight. Google says it came out in eighty nine.
We can't trust Google.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Oh yeah, so maybe it was. Maybe it was eighty nine.
Maybe maybe that's true.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I don't know. I don't do math. I was like fourteen,
you were fifteen.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
She was fifteen fifty yeah yeah fifteen Yeah makes sense.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
But you and this is so nice to talk to you.
Go down memory lane and thank you for spoiling the
entire show for me.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Oh I wish somebody would have given me notes. Do
not tell her any No, No, we're joking with you.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
This is we're talking you and you play that character,
and that's what happens.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I'm an actress, so I'll just act like you didn't
tell me.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Oh okay, it's a running joke. Sorry, we should have
said that that She shed never rewatched the show until
now that we do the podcast, and there are some
things sometimes even that she doesn't remember, like storylines and things. Sure,
so we bust her balls, not her dick, and we
love to give her a lot of crap about like, oh,
(26:27):
you don't remember. So it's just a joke. Sorry at
your expensive Oh no worries.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I don't take it personally. I just didn't want to
ruin anything for maybe the viewers or something.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
You know, she's still going to enjoy it. You know why,
because Cliff Jeger tries to save you and she loves him.
She loves that character.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Ah, that's the fireman. Yeah, that's great. Did you have
a thing with him on the show?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
No, No, Donna did, Dona David right, that's right, I
came in.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I forgot and I did in real life as well.
Well just oh did you really.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Flinch? Did you? Did you just have like a reaction me?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Well, I didn't want to sound like. I would hate
for him to hear this and be like, I have
a little PTSD because I would always say, like, Brian
and I dated, and Brian's I don't remember it that way,
and I was like, oh, it's so different from a
young girl's perspective, and then a young boys yeah I.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Remember that you dated.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
