about you, Lauren Luna. I want them to know about
I know you Puerto Rican like me. You were born
(03:22):
and raised in New York.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Correct, Yes, I was. I was born in New York,
born in Brooklyn, raised in Rockaway Beach.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Okay, yeah, and then you go to Puerto Rico often
you have family in Puerto Rico.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Still or now you.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I have some family in Puerto Rico, and I was
going there a lot right after the hurricanes, doing some
relief for and helping out is wherever we wherever we could.
It's been like four years since I've been there, okay,
with COVID and all that stuff, I just haven't had
a chance to god.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
There, back and forth a kid. As a kid, you
did go a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, as a kid, we didn't. You know, it's too
much for my I'm onana baby.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh wow, oh wow, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, it's pretty. And my dad was a cop, so
on a cops salary was just like impossible. Cousins sent
to us, you know, And so that was that was
pretty funny, you know, whenever they were punished, they sent
them to New York.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I love it. And when did the whole acting thing
started for you? You always knew this was always.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well second grade, okay, really a groundhog and the school
play and I had mind and the kids laughed at
me both lines because my first line was I'm the
groundhog and they were like, and you know then I
(04:53):
just swore my day. I was like, this is this
is it for me? And and you know success will
be the best read of.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It, exactly right, Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And how is it based on revenge?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Isn't all of acting that? I feel like a lot
of actings just based on revenge.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I was going to show you a job.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
It's like, you know what, I'm still here.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh my god. You know it's interesting, Like Lauren, I
was maybe my I was my early twenties, and I
remember that I met this producer that at the time
was he passed away in this Englishman but at the
time he produced a lot of big movies. And I
was in awe of meeting this person, right, And he
(05:37):
was very, very nice to me a little bit. Sometimes
he will look at me and I was like, I
don't know if that's a little bit of a condescending
type of look, right, But I wasn't very clear until
years later somebody said to me that he said once
that if it wasn't because of my looks, I would
always work on McDonald's. Ah not crazy, yes, right, And
(06:02):
this is years later. I was nothing but sweet to
this man, right, and I was in awe of knowing
him because he was just big. I don't want to
say the name. It's very well known in the business,
and when the person said it to me in passing
as a joke, can you believe ha ha? He used
to say the ha ha ha, right, and I was like,
I laughed, but I never to this day. On a
(06:23):
daily basis, I think about that old man, right, And
it's because every time that I go, you know, if
I ever have the privilege or the honor or whatever
to win something big acting wise, right, because you know
I wanted to be an actress. I was already working
on TV when he said it, I'm like, I would
love to say, and this is for so and so
(06:46):
your mother. One of those moments that you just go,
it's about revenge that I go, you know us, You're
bigger than that. It's about gratitude. Who cares what this
old man? God bless him?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
It is what it is.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
If anything, it helped you on a wish you to
work even harder. Just so. And there's nothing wrong with
working at McDonald's, God bless them. I think you do
what you have to do. Every every job is honorable.
But I was like, just because of that, I'm going
to show you I'm going to be more successful than you.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You know what, it's great when it can. When it can.
I mean, first of all, I find that so shocking
because your work is so wonderful and it doesn't hurt
to look like you. My mother and I was like rustle,
and I'm like, oh, because I'm shopping at Low's with
you for a toilet seat, so I can't wear that
(07:36):
right now. Mom, she's you know, my mom is always like,
thank you, proud. It makes me proud, thank you, And
I think you're so wonderful, and you're so beautiful, thank
you person. And watching you do so many things in
both languages, it's really inspiring, awesome, really great. And to
(08:00):
the other point, it is about gratitude. I mean, listen, everything,
I never lose sight of the fact that I'm doing
what I love or it's ridiculous, as mad as I get,
as frustrated as I get, and it happens on, you know,
on a regular basis. In this business. There's so much
that will just knock you off your feet. Yeah, but
(08:21):
I just keep saying, you are one of not that many.
It's a very small percentage of people who want to
do this and are actually doing it. And I, as
I get older, I become even more appreciative and more grateful.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
So at.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
With age or what period in time did you say, Okay,
I'm leaving New York, I'm going to Hollywood, and I'm
going to go take this massive leap or did it
start in New York where you started committing with an
agency there and doing the work in New York.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I think it, actually I did have that moment of
taking a leap. I started New York. My first play
was a musical. I was just finished high school, was
in my first year of college, and I auditioned for
dream Girls Wow, and it was a national tour and
I got it, which was at the time. I was like, well,
I'd never been I'd never been away from home for
(09:18):
more than one night, and I know, it's really crazy.
And I separated from my twin. I've never been apart
from my twin for more than one night. So it
was a huge, huge shift. And I was gone for
a year, and then I came back and just kept going.
And then a couple of years later a friend of
(09:39):
mine said, why don't you come out to la And
it felt huge separation around it. I bought this jacket
that I thought if I have this jacket, I'm going
to get every role I saved for it. I mean,
it's really fascinating to think about all these little steps
I took, thinking like Hollywood was this one place like
(10:01):
a destination that you arrive at and everyone there, you
know you're there. Rosalind's like all these famous people are
there and I walk into Hollywood. Wow, you know like
that at all?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
That's amazing. And you've done so your resume is so huge, Lauren.
You've done so so many movies on TV and theater.
You've done it all. You've been around for a long
time doing consistent, solid, fantastic work. Oz Dexter New York
on the cover like all of them to this day,
do you have one specific role that you go That
one made me so happy. It was a privilege to
(10:37):
go to work every single day and I exercised my
muscle and I love I fell in love with acting
all over again.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I like it like that my first movie. I will
to this day, I think it's one of the best
female roles. Yes, Everno, like for everyone, and I will,
you know, be grateful to Donelle Martin forever for casting
me and that I mean it was such a pivotal
(11:06):
moment and one I will never forget the experience of
It was the most you know, honest, And I even
think about the fact that we went to the Camp
Film Festival and I bought my dress at Macy's. You know,
it was like no, like no in cover. It was
so every ounce of that movie was just the most authentic,
(11:26):
authoric work, part of work that I've ever ever had.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Claud Okay, Clarado, Mac and I, as you know, Lisa
is one of our Lisa is one of our dear friends.
Lisa is like I adore that human being.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's really I mean, her spirit.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It's a special lady.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I just love that you went to Cana and you.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
You bought a dress that most people could fully relate to,
And me like, yeah, that's what I'm buying because that's
what either I can afford the time or just what
I want to spend. To go to this massive gallo
where you see just such a show put on every
year at a festival like that, and to just be
you but implicity there and show up with the simplicity and.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Stant that's what's brilliant. The simplicity, simplicity and nothing was
that complicated back then, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
What I mean. I think back then, I mean, there
was sort of just the wow, this is a big
deal going to camp. But my my feeling is that
people used to think more as actors do you know,
like my my, I'm a I'm a child of the
seventies movies and my big desire was like I want
(12:47):
to work with these people, like I want to be
a fine actress. And nowhere in that did that include
I hope to rock the red carpet or I hope
I get on the cover. It just becomes there's such
a business component to it. Yeah, it took me a very,
very long time to get used to a really long time.
(13:07):
And you know, it's just it's there's nothing you can
do about it. It's there. You have to sort of
accept it and you know, sort of grow with it
and be part of it or or not or not.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, and listen, and it's it's going to continue evolving.
And I think it's gonna get even more ridiculous, to
be honest with you, you know, because I agree with
you Nowadays, when it was about the work, it was
just so fantastic. But the fact that now we have
to compete against influencers and people that might have more
present in social media, just because they want that number.
(13:39):
Because the students believe that if they promoted, the movie's
going to be huge, even though it's been proven. It
doesn't really matter, you know, it doesn't matter matter how
many millions you have on TikTok or Instagram. Just because
you're selling something, It doesn't mean that they're going to
show up and buy it, you know, but they don't.
They they don't care. And it's not I don't think
it's it's as much not everything I don't want to
(13:59):
hear away says, you throw these blanket statements, you know,
But I think more, more and more, it's not about
the work. It's about so many of the different factors
and it's heartbreaking.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
But longevity still pertains to the work often because if
you get exposed and you don't have the talent, you're
not going to continue. I mean to a degree, you
get cut off unless you're just you know, mega mega
megastar in some of their capacity, you know, and you're
just coming in, then they might let it ride a
little longer. But yeah, it's the business is evolving quite.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
A bit, and now we have to worry, you know,
about being scanned and AI and all these which is
so mind bending to me. It's like, what is going
to happen? You know, who knows? But I keep thinking,
I believe and I want to believe that people will
always want to connect with humanity.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
That's something that I really still strongly believe that you
can't replicate. Yeah, so I'm hoping that that keeps us
in business. But it's it's worth fighting for. It's worth
fighting for our own image. It's worth fighting for our
own like actual flesh and blood selves. And you know,
today when I was getting hair makeup done, they're like,
(15:15):
wh what would happen? Somebody gets cammed during that movie?
We don't have work my goodness. I thought, wow, yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
But I think that's where we're that's where we're heading.
It's going to be inevitable, you know. And I understand that. Yeah,
we're fighting for our rights, you know, and we have
to otherwise this is just freaking the devil is taking over,
you know.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But but.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I go, I wonder if this resistance that the powers
of b are having besides claiming, we don't know where
it's going. Therefore we cannot really have an educated conversation
because we don't know. We don't know what. Let's just
take it year by year until we find out, right.
But I think they do know that it's inevitable, and
because they know it's coming and it's going to be
(16:00):
so huge, there's nothing they can do anyway because things
are going to involve. Everything is cyclical.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Absolutely, they're awkward, and it's not even coming. It's here,
like it's happened, We've seen it. A friend of mine
went to a screening and at the end of the film,
they told them, you know, what do you think about
the last scene that was added at the last minute?
And everyone commented and then they were told that was
all ai And my friend said, I was She said,
(16:30):
I was so disturbed, and she didn't tell me the
name of that. I have no idea what the yeah
really and I was like, that's un believable, and she said, yeah,
they these actors were not actually there. They just so
to your point, wrong, it's it is inevitable and it's here.
(16:53):
But I always think that there. I believe in resistance,
you know, not now there's a personal ideology for myself
because I.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Think it resists it persists.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You know, then it's like you know, it's like like that.
I do think there's there are certain things that we
can just say, maybe slow down, or maybe there's this
caveat if this happens, then I want to make sure
this happens. So that's my hope that there's a way
that this, you know, Transformers is all about the humans
(17:29):
and these aliens working together. Which I never understood that
Transformers were aliens.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I didn't know that either. Okay, so they're aliens.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, they cover another planet essentially, which is an alien.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You know what my question is, it's the follow wing.
I'm sorry that we're deviating. We're going to talk about
your two movies. But I went to this event three
days ago and there was Al Madrigal, which is a
phenomenal comedian, an actor, you know, and he produces, and
we're talking about this whole the strike and the whole thing,
and I ask him something, but I don't but there
were colonials to go back inside, so I don't remember
(18:02):
if he completely answered my question. But I'm very curious.
Like this movie you talked about, at the very end,
they recreated a whole scene with Ai. But my question
is where the recreated like actress from the movie, but
they recreated those same actors doing a scene. My question is, okay,
but is it possible for a studio to create okay,
Lafemnikida whatever. Let's say they're gonna do a remake of
(18:24):
La Femnikida. So instead of getting an actual actress that exists,
can they create a human being and call her Juanne
Smith and that doesn't exist and do a movie around
this woman that is not an actress. I make a
star out.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Of a image? Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
So they can't do that. So it's not only they're
gonna do Lauren Luna and it's you, but it's not
you acting, it's it's the image of you. It's actually
a brand new person.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah, just in the way that the Transformers, for example,
they create Optimist Prime. They have an image they're going on,
but it's all computer generators, right, so you can computer generate.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, well that's like a curricatures I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
You.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Will they do that, create a human being and make
a star out of that human being that doesn't exist.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yes, I don't know how far away we are from that.
That might be a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Longer, but right, or how long? Right? But how can
you sustain it for a whole movie.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
And carried on to another movie and keep carrying out
of work?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Basically, actors are going to be non existent.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah, it's going to be a road. It's actually happened
every night. But one hundred percent you can you can
create that, Jesus.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Lord, and that is that is terrifying actors, right, It's like,
what's them? What's left? You know? I mean, thank god
that stage still is. You really can't mess that up.
You know, there are people, it's live and that's one
of my favorite mediums. Yeah, and unless you know, they
(19:51):
start introducing holograms, I don't know if.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It's freak, it's scary. Tell us about your two projects
that are Transformers Spider and.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Spider Man across the Spider Verse that is in theaters now.
It's doing phenomenal. Of course, it's going to do phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It's doing it's doing really well. And Transformers as well,
which is doing uh, I think Transformance reopened. We had
the premiere, okay, was was pretty amazing from all of them,
given that you know they're human components, the human component
and Transformers. Of course, we have our two heroes, you know,
(20:29):
Anthony Ramos and who's just beautiful and Dominique Fishback who's
who's super lovely, and they you know, are fighting. They
go to Peru and looking for this key that want
the key. They get the key, they can put it
together with the other half of the key and and
save the world. Right as a kid, I was watching
(20:51):
uh you know, I remember Readers of the Lost arc.
I watched Indiana Jones and Hitter and I was like, wow,
like these experiences are wonderful to watch, but never seeing
myself in them. It's only watching these two Anthony and Dominique.
I was like, there are kids who are having the
same reaction to them that I did watching Harrison Ford.
(21:13):
Of course that's incredible, like really incredible. And I think
the same thing in Spider Man. There are kids who
are watching an animated superhero that for them and didn't mind.
Of course, Miles Morales is after Latino, like why not?
Why wouldn't he be? And these are things that I
grew up with, you know, I remember watching Star Wars
(21:34):
when I was a kid, and when you know, Luke Skywalker,
he was home and he was drinking this blue milk
and I was like, I wonder if I would ever
get the chance to drink blue milk, Like as a kid,
you're just thinking, are those are those things accessible to me?
Am I that world? Or is that world exclusive? And
(21:56):
I'm not part of it? And what I love about
both of these movies is that we're in this world.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
It's amazing and you get to be a part of
both and they're huge movies. Lauren lu How how proud
are you of yourself? You know, because I know you've
done huge things in the past and very successful shows.
But at this age, after all these years, to be
able to say my career has been pretty blessed, pretty amazing,
(22:23):
you know.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I just it's almost just like it's going. It's it's
like a train that you just sort of find yourself
on going to express and you're like, oh it' snap press,
I had no idea. That's awesome, you know, it's it
feels exhilarating, is what I want to say, because you know,
you never know what it's going to be in this business.
It's going to take you over over a particular hump
(22:46):
or take you to a different atronouel and it to
be an animated movie and the Transformers is like, Okay,
it's wonderful, sure.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Da here, We're not never.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You never known that. One of the things about the business, right,
it's so unpredictable.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
It is unpredictable. But you know what's been pretty consistent
for you. And I've known, We've known each other for
a long time, and I have followed your career and
you're one of the very very few that can say,
you know what, I have worked consistently and it's always
good work. And nobody has anything weird to say because
I've done it with dignity and I'm very good at
my job and I'm proud to be Latina.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You know, they might have weird things to say, they don't.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
They don't anything anything anything but love, anything, nothing but
love for you. It's been amazing and it's been a
complete treat to watch you just thrive. And it's only
it's the beginning.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Is going to continue.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
You know it's going to continue. You look fantastic, You're
you're so talented. So it's been it's been awesome to watch.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Absolutely, I'm really I'm really thrilled. And I got to
tell you, guys, I was really excited about doing this podcast.
I think that. Yeah, I mean, first of all, it's
just a I mean, the two of you, and then
this is the dynamic that you have together is wonderful, hilarious.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I'm glad you think so. Sometimes we're not sure, but.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But it's thank you. Yeah, it's been. It's been a
great ride for us as well. It started as an experiment.
We got offered to do this, and we're like, oh
my gosh, should we are we? And then we started
and like you said, it's been like we got on
top of this wagon, that this train, and it just
keeps going and going and people seem to enjoy it
(24:38):
and laugh and think and cry, you know, and and
it's been incredible to feel that proximity you know, with
fans and colleagues and things like that. It's been pretty
pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, it's it's wonderful also to for me because you know,
there are things that you actually want to be part of.
It's like, yes, I would love to do that. I'd
love to sit down and talk with them. I wish
you could do that in person, you know what.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Know, it would have been amazing.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
But it's it's great and sometimes you want because this
is this feels like real connection. This feels like communicating
shared experiences and all that stuff. It's it's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
That's so awesome. Well, thank you. We appreciate that you came.
You know that. I'm so proud of you. It has
been too many years.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
It's been so it's been so many years.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yes, yes, yes, And we'll be seeing the projects because
there are both of them.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Our son is going to be crazy watching.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Both of them, Spider Man and again, you know, like
it's important to us. He's a he's a little Puerto
Rican white kid mixed, right, So for him to see
what that even though he's like the blondest Puerto Rican that.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
There is, I have a dark girl and a very
white kid is the funniest thing. They don't look like,
they don't even look related, is the funniest thing ever.
But they are related.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
But he's very proud to be half Puerto Rican and
see representation like that. It's it's such a big deal
for us to be able to share with him and uh, and.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Just to see it on the big screen, especially in
movies like that.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I know dream Big, he's gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So he's I think he's gonna really love it and
I think even adults love it because a messaging is
it's it's we need it. There's such stuff and we're
so I keep saying, we're so fractured as society, as
a country. Yes, so to see good, you know, stuff
that makes you feel good, it makes you happy. I
(26:29):
feel like that's part of the reason it's so successful.
People want to feel good. They want to see stuff
that may I mean here in New York, like we
have the wildfires that are happening again for coming, so
the sky is orange, its oalyptic, and it's like there's
always there's there's always that sort of thing underneath now
(26:49):
right since COVID and I feel like people need to
escape totally feel good. And so I think I think
not only will your son enjoy it, you'll.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Enjoy it awesome. I love it well, Thank you so much, Mama,
God bless Mesitos.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yes, please, she.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Is so awesome and so talented. Yeah, she's one of
Lisa's also closest friends.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
So it's yeah, she reminds me of the girls in
your circle of friends that you.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Are very close to very much. Again, one of those
people that you just want to root for. I want
her to succeed. I want her to do well. Me too,
worked hard and she's earned it.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
And it's interesting because we don't get to see each
other a lot, but when we do, there's nothing but love.
You know, I feel like I've I feel like she
like she's like a you know, like she's so close
to me even though she's not so Yes, it's amazing.

about you, Lauren Luna. I want them to know about
I know you Puerto Rican like me. You were born
(03:22):
and raised in New York.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Correct, Yes, I was. I was born in New York,
born in Brooklyn, raised in Rockaway Beach.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Okay, yeah, and then you go to Puerto Rico often
you have family in Puerto Rico.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Still or now you.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I have some family in Puerto Rico, and I was
going there a lot right after the hurricanes, doing some
relief for and helping out is wherever we wherever we could.
It's been like four years since I've been there, okay,
with COVID and all that stuff, I just haven't had
a chance to god.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
There, back and forth a kid. As a kid, you
did go a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, as a kid, we didn't. You know, it's too
much for my I'm onana baby.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh wow, oh wow, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, it's pretty. And my dad was a cop, so
on a cops salary was just like impossible. Cousins sent
to us, you know, And so that was that was
pretty funny, you know, whenever they were punished, they sent
them to New York.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I love it. And when did the whole acting thing
started for you? You always knew this was always.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well second grade, okay, really a groundhog and the school
play and I had mind and the kids laughed at
me both lines because my first line was I'm the
groundhog and they were like, and you know then I
(04:53):
just swore my day. I was like, this is this
is it for me? And and you know success will
be the best read of.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It, exactly right, Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And how is it based on revenge?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Isn't all of acting that? I feel like a lot
of actings just based on revenge.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I was going to show you a job.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
It's like, you know what, I'm still here.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh my god. You know it's interesting, Like Lauren, I
was maybe my I was my early twenties, and I
remember that I met this producer that at the time
was he passed away in this Englishman but at the
time he produced a lot of big movies. And I
was in awe of meeting this person, right, And he
(05:37):
was very, very nice to me a little bit. Sometimes
he will look at me and I was like, I
don't know if that's a little bit of a condescending
type of look, right, But I wasn't very clear until
years later somebody said to me that he said once
that if it wasn't because of my looks, I would
always work on McDonald's. Ah not crazy, yes, right, And
(06:02):
this is years later. I was nothing but sweet to
this man, right, and I was in awe of knowing
him because he was just big. I don't want to
say the name. It's very well known in the business,
and when the person said it to me in passing
as a joke, can you believe ha ha? He used
to say the ha ha ha, right, and I was like,
I laughed, but I never to this day. On a
(06:23):
daily basis, I think about that old man, right, And
it's because every time that I go, you know, if
I ever have the privilege or the honor or whatever
to win something big acting wise, right, because you know
I wanted to be an actress. I was already working
on TV when he said it, I'm like, I would
love to say, and this is for so and so
(06:46):
your mother. One of those moments that you just go,
it's about revenge that I go, you know us, You're
bigger than that. It's about gratitude. Who cares what this
old man? God bless him?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
It is what it is.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
If anything, it helped you on a wish you to
work even harder. Just so. And there's nothing wrong with
working at McDonald's, God bless them. I think you do
what you have to do. Every every job is honorable.
But I was like, just because of that, I'm going
to show you I'm going to be more successful than you.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You know what, it's great when it can. When it can.
I mean, first of all, I find that so shocking
because your work is so wonderful and it doesn't hurt
to look like you. My mother and I was like rustle,
and I'm like, oh, because I'm shopping at Low's with
you for a toilet seat, so I can't wear that
(07:36):
right now. Mom, she's you know, my mom is always like,
thank you, proud. It makes me proud, thank you, And
I think you're so wonderful, and you're so beautiful, thank
you person. And watching you do so many things in
both languages, it's really inspiring, awesome, really great. And to
(08:00):
the other point, it is about gratitude. I mean, listen, everything,
I never lose sight of the fact that I'm doing
what I love or it's ridiculous, as mad as I get,
as frustrated as I get, and it happens on, you know,
on a regular basis. In this business. There's so much
that will just knock you off your feet. Yeah, but
(08:21):
I just keep saying, you are one of not that many.
It's a very small percentage of people who want to
do this and are actually doing it. And I, as
I get older, I become even more appreciative and more grateful.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
So at.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
With age or what period in time did you say, Okay,
I'm leaving New York, I'm going to Hollywood, and I'm
going to go take this massive leap or did it
start in New York where you started committing with an
agency there and doing the work in New York.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I think it, actually I did have that moment of
taking a leap. I started New York. My first play
was a musical. I was just finished high school, was
in my first year of college, and I auditioned for
dream Girls Wow, and it was a national tour and
I got it, which was at the time. I was like, well,
I'd never been I'd never been away from home for
(09:18):
more than one night, and I know, it's really crazy.
And I separated from my twin. I've never been apart
from my twin for more than one night. So it
was a huge, huge shift. And I was gone for
a year, and then I came back and just kept going.
And then a couple of years later a friend of
(09:39):
mine said, why don't you come out to la And
it felt huge separation around it. I bought this jacket
that I thought if I have this jacket, I'm going
to get every role I saved for it. I mean,
it's really fascinating to think about all these little steps
I took, thinking like Hollywood was this one place like
(10:01):
a destination that you arrive at and everyone there, you
know you're there. Rosalind's like all these famous people are
there and I walk into Hollywood. Wow, you know like
that at all?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
That's amazing. And you've done so your resume is so huge, Lauren.
You've done so so many movies on TV and theater.
You've done it all. You've been around for a long
time doing consistent, solid, fantastic work. Oz Dexter New York
on the cover like all of them to this day,
do you have one specific role that you go That
one made me so happy. It was a privilege to
(10:37):
go to work every single day and I exercised my
muscle and I love I fell in love with acting
all over again.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I like it like that my first movie. I will
to this day, I think it's one of the best
female roles. Yes, Everno, like for everyone, and I will,
you know, be grateful to Donelle Martin forever for casting
me and that I mean it was such a pivotal
(11:06):
moment and one I will never forget the experience of
It was the most you know, honest, And I even
think about the fact that we went to the Camp
Film Festival and I bought my dress at Macy's. You know,
it was like no, like no in cover. It was
so every ounce of that movie was just the most authentic,
(11:26):
authoric work, part of work that I've ever ever had.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Claud Okay, Clarado, Mac and I, as you know, Lisa
is one of our Lisa is one of our dear friends.
Lisa is like I adore that human being.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's really I mean, her spirit.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It's a special lady.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I just love that you went to Cana and you.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
You bought a dress that most people could fully relate to,
And me like, yeah, that's what I'm buying because that's
what either I can afford the time or just what
I want to spend. To go to this massive gallo
where you see just such a show put on every
year at a festival like that, and to just be
you but implicity there and show up with the simplicity and.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Stant that's what's brilliant. The simplicity, simplicity and nothing was
that complicated back then, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
What I mean. I think back then, I mean, there
was sort of just the wow, this is a big
deal going to camp. But my my feeling is that
people used to think more as actors do you know,
like my my, I'm a I'm a child of the
seventies movies and my big desire was like I want
(12:47):
to work with these people, like I want to be
a fine actress. And nowhere in that did that include
I hope to rock the red carpet or I hope
I get on the cover. It just becomes there's such
a business component to it. Yeah, it took me a very,
very long time to get used to a really long time.
(13:07):
And you know, it's just it's there's nothing you can
do about it. It's there. You have to sort of
accept it and you know, sort of grow with it
and be part of it or or not or not.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, and listen, and it's it's going to continue evolving.
And I think it's gonna get even more ridiculous, to
be honest with you, you know, because I agree with
you Nowadays, when it was about the work, it was
just so fantastic. But the fact that now we have
to compete against influencers and people that might have more
present in social media, just because they want that number.
(13:39):
Because the students believe that if they promoted, the movie's
going to be huge, even though it's been proven. It
doesn't really matter, you know, it doesn't matter matter how
many millions you have on TikTok or Instagram. Just because
you're selling something, It doesn't mean that they're going to
show up and buy it, you know, but they don't.
They they don't care. And it's not I don't think
it's it's as much not everything I don't want to
(13:59):
hear away says, you throw these blanket statements, you know,
But I think more, more and more, it's not about
the work. It's about so many of the different factors
and it's heartbreaking.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
But longevity still pertains to the work often because if
you get exposed and you don't have the talent, you're
not going to continue. I mean to a degree, you
get cut off unless you're just you know, mega mega
megastar in some of their capacity, you know, and you're
just coming in, then they might let it ride a
little longer. But yeah, it's the business is evolving quite.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
A bit, and now we have to worry, you know,
about being scanned and AI and all these which is
so mind bending to me. It's like, what is going
to happen? You know, who knows? But I keep thinking,
I believe and I want to believe that people will
always want to connect with humanity.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
That's something that I really still strongly believe that you
can't replicate. Yeah, so I'm hoping that that keeps us
in business. But it's it's worth fighting for. It's worth
fighting for our own image. It's worth fighting for our
own like actual flesh and blood selves. And you know,
today when I was getting hair makeup done, they're like,
(15:15):
wh what would happen? Somebody gets cammed during that movie?
We don't have work my goodness. I thought, wow, yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
But I think that's where we're that's where we're heading.
It's going to be inevitable, you know. And I understand that. Yeah,
we're fighting for our rights, you know, and we have
to otherwise this is just freaking the devil is taking over,
you know.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But but.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I go, I wonder if this resistance that the powers
of b are having besides claiming, we don't know where
it's going. Therefore we cannot really have an educated conversation
because we don't know. We don't know what. Let's just
take it year by year until we find out, right.
But I think they do know that it's inevitable, and
because they know it's coming and it's going to be
(16:00):
so huge, there's nothing they can do anyway because things
are going to involve. Everything is cyclical.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Absolutely, they're awkward, and it's not even coming. It's here,
like it's happened, We've seen it. A friend of mine
went to a screening and at the end of the film,
they told them, you know, what do you think about
the last scene that was added at the last minute?
And everyone commented and then they were told that was
all ai And my friend said, I was She said,
(16:30):
I was so disturbed, and she didn't tell me the
name of that. I have no idea what the yeah
really and I was like, that's un believable, and she said, yeah,
they these actors were not actually there. They just so
to your point, wrong, it's it is inevitable and it's here.
(16:53):
But I always think that there. I believe in resistance,
you know, not now there's a personal ideology for myself
because I.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Think it resists it persists.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You know, then it's like you know, it's like like that.
I do think there's there are certain things that we
can just say, maybe slow down, or maybe there's this
caveat if this happens, then I want to make sure
this happens. So that's my hope that there's a way
that this, you know, Transformers is all about the humans
(17:29):
and these aliens working together. Which I never understood that
Transformers were aliens.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I didn't know that either. Okay, so they're aliens.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, they cover another planet essentially, which is an alien.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You know what my question is, it's the follow wing.
I'm sorry that we're deviating. We're going to talk about
your two movies. But I went to this event three
days ago and there was Al Madrigal, which is a
phenomenal comedian, an actor, you know, and he produces, and
we're talking about this whole the strike and the whole thing,
and I ask him something, but I don't but there
were colonials to go back inside, so I don't remember
(18:02):
if he completely answered my question. But I'm very curious.
Like this movie you talked about, at the very end,
they recreated a whole scene with Ai. But my question
is where the recreated like actress from the movie, but
they recreated those same actors doing a scene. My question is, okay,
but is it possible for a studio to create okay,
Lafemnikida whatever. Let's say they're gonna do a remake of
(18:24):
La Femnikida. So instead of getting an actual actress that exists,
can they create a human being and call her Juanne
Smith and that doesn't exist and do a movie around
this woman that is not an actress. I make a
star out.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Of a image? Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
So they can't do that. So it's not only they're
gonna do Lauren Luna and it's you, but it's not
you acting, it's it's the image of you. It's actually
a brand new person.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah, just in the way that the Transformers, for example,
they create Optimist Prime. They have an image they're going on,
but it's all computer generators, right, so you can computer generate.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, well that's like a curricatures I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
You.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Will they do that, create a human being and make
a star out of that human being that doesn't exist.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yes, I don't know how far away we are from that.
That might be a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Longer, but right, or how long? Right? But how can
you sustain it for a whole movie.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
And carried on to another movie and keep carrying out
of work?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Basically, actors are going to be non existent.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah, it's going to be a road. It's actually happened
every night. But one hundred percent you can you can
create that, Jesus.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Lord, and that is that is terrifying actors, right, It's like,
what's them? What's left? You know? I mean, thank god
that stage still is. You really can't mess that up.
You know, there are people, it's live and that's one
of my favorite mediums. Yeah, and unless you know, they
(19:51):
start introducing holograms, I don't know if.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It's freak, it's scary. Tell us about your two projects
that are Transformers Spider and.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Spider Man across the Spider Verse that is in theaters now.
It's doing phenomenal. Of course, it's going to do phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It's doing it's doing really well. And Transformers as well,
which is doing uh, I think Transformance reopened. We had
the premiere, okay, was was pretty amazing from all of them,
given that you know they're human components, the human component
and Transformers. Of course, we have our two heroes, you know,
(20:29):
Anthony Ramos and who's just beautiful and Dominique Fishback who's
who's super lovely, and they you know, are fighting. They
go to Peru and looking for this key that want
the key. They get the key, they can put it
together with the other half of the key and and
save the world. Right as a kid, I was watching
(20:51):
uh you know, I remember Readers of the Lost arc.
I watched Indiana Jones and Hitter and I was like, wow,
like these experiences are wonderful to watch, but never seeing
myself in them. It's only watching these two Anthony and Dominique.
I was like, there are kids who are having the
same reaction to them that I did watching Harrison Ford.
(21:13):
Of course that's incredible, like really incredible. And I think
the same thing in Spider Man. There are kids who
are watching an animated superhero that for them and didn't mind.
Of course, Miles Morales is after Latino, like why not?
Why wouldn't he be? And these are things that I
grew up with, you know, I remember watching Star Wars
(21:34):
when I was a kid, and when you know, Luke Skywalker,
he was home and he was drinking this blue milk
and I was like, I wonder if I would ever
get the chance to drink blue milk, Like as a kid,
you're just thinking, are those are those things accessible to me?
Am I that world? Or is that world exclusive? And
(21:56):
I'm not part of it? And what I love about
both of these movies is that we're in this world.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
It's amazing and you get to be a part of
both and they're huge movies. Lauren lu How how proud
are you of yourself? You know, because I know you've
done huge things in the past and very successful shows.
But at this age, after all these years, to be
able to say my career has been pretty blessed, pretty amazing,
(22:23):
you know.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I just it's almost just like it's going. It's it's
like a train that you just sort of find yourself
on going to express and you're like, oh it' snap press,
I had no idea. That's awesome, you know, it's it
feels exhilarating, is what I want to say, because you know,
you never know what it's going to be in this business.
It's going to take you over over a particular hump
(22:46):
or take you to a different atronouel and it to
be an animated movie and the Transformers is like, Okay,
it's wonderful, sure.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Da here, We're not never.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You never known that. One of the things about the business, right,
it's so unpredictable.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
It is unpredictable. But you know what's been pretty consistent
for you. And I've known, We've known each other for
a long time, and I have followed your career and
you're one of the very very few that can say,
you know what, I have worked consistently and it's always
good work. And nobody has anything weird to say because
I've done it with dignity and I'm very good at
my job and I'm proud to be Latina.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You know, they might have weird things to say, they don't.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
They don't anything anything anything but love, anything, nothing but
love for you. It's been amazing and it's been a
complete treat to watch you just thrive. And it's only
it's the beginning.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Is going to continue.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
You know it's going to continue. You look fantastic, You're
you're so talented. So it's been it's been awesome to watch.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Absolutely, I'm really I'm really thrilled. And I got to
tell you, guys, I was really excited about doing this podcast.
I think that. Yeah, I mean, first of all, it's
just a I mean, the two of you, and then
this is the dynamic that you have together is wonderful, hilarious.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I'm glad you think so. Sometimes we're not sure, but.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But it's thank you. Yeah, it's been. It's been a
great ride for us as well. It started as an experiment.
We got offered to do this, and we're like, oh
my gosh, should we are we? And then we started
and like you said, it's been like we got on
top of this wagon, that this train, and it just
keeps going and going and people seem to enjoy it
(24:38):
and laugh and think and cry, you know, and and
it's been incredible to feel that proximity you know, with
fans and colleagues and things like that. It's been pretty
pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, it's it's wonderful also to for me because you know,
there are things that you actually want to be part of.
It's like, yes, I would love to do that. I'd
love to sit down and talk with them. I wish
you could do that in person, you know what.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Know, it would have been amazing.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
But it's it's great and sometimes you want because this
is this feels like real connection. This feels like communicating
shared experiences and all that stuff. It's it's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
That's so awesome. Well, thank you. We appreciate that you came.
You know that. I'm so proud of you. It has
been too many years.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
It's been so it's been so many years.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yes, yes, yes, And we'll be seeing the projects because
there are both of them.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Our son is going to be crazy watching.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Both of them, Spider Man and again, you know, like
it's important to us. He's a he's a little Puerto
Rican white kid mixed, right, So for him to see
what that even though he's like the blondest Puerto Rican that.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
There is, I have a dark girl and a very
white kid is the funniest thing. They don't look like,
they don't even look related, is the funniest thing ever.
But they are related.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
But he's very proud to be half Puerto Rican and
see representation like that. It's it's such a big deal
for us to be able to share with him and uh, and.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Just to see it on the big screen, especially in
movies like that.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I know dream Big, he's gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So he's I think he's gonna really love it and
I think even adults love it because a messaging is
it's it's we need it. There's such stuff and we're
so I keep saying, we're so fractured as society, as
a country. Yes, so to see good, you know, stuff
that makes you feel good, it makes you happy. I
(26:29):
feel like that's part of the reason it's so successful.
People want to feel good. They want to see stuff
that may I mean here in New York, like we
have the wildfires that are happening again for coming, so
the sky is orange, its oalyptic, and it's like there's
always there's there's always that sort of thing underneath now
(26:49):
right since COVID and I feel like people need to
escape totally feel good. And so I think I think
not only will your son enjoy it, you'll.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Enjoy it awesome. I love it well, Thank you so much, Mama,
God bless Mesitos.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yes, please, she.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Is so awesome and so talented. Yeah, she's one of
Lisa's also closest friends.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
So it's yeah, she reminds me of the girls in
your circle of friends that you.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Are very close to very much. Again, one of those
people that you just want to root for. I want
her to succeed. I want her to do well. Me too,
worked hard and she's earned it.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
And it's interesting because we don't get to see each
other a lot, but when we do, there's nothing but love.
You know, I feel like I've I feel like she
like she's like a you know, like she's so close
to me even though she's not so Yes, it's amazing.
