Hey there, Fana Ritos, Welcome back to how Rude Tanner Ritos.

changed both of our lives. The talent agent who represented
Jody and me as child actors, the fabulous Judy Savage.

Judy was a trailblazer who founded the Savage Agency over
forty years ago. She represented some of the biggest child
actors of the eighties and nineties, including Daniel Fischl, Writer Strong,
Danica mckeller, Kelly Martin, Laris Olennick, Elizabeth Berkeley, Hillary Swank,
and Emma Stone, just to name a few. Judy is
(00:58):
a legend in the entertainment industry. She always put the
kids first before productions or parents. She was a unique
combination of being a bulldog when it came to negotiations
with the studios, yet at the same time, she was
like a mother who focused on her kid's emotional wellbeing
above all else. She is proof that you can be
(01:20):
super successful in this business and treat people well. Our

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Jody started book booking commercials like right away.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Mm hmm that similar commercial eyes your wide eyes didn't
need fried trip for years. You. I remember, like I
remember going to your office, to your bungalow and banner.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I loved that office.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I remember that the little waiting area with the shell
Silverstein books that's I read like the giving tree, like
these are the things I.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Can remember the sound of the creaking floor in that office.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
I know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Ye do you know that I bought that in two
thousand wait a minute, no, nineteen seventy seven for forty
thousand dollars, and when I retired in twenty seventeen, I
sold it for a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh my god, well that's easy. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It was only because and I sold it. Nobody could
come in and look at it. They had to just
drive by. But it was the land, the land.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I was going to say, that land now is like,
you know, because I remember going I remember going.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
To Judy's office.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Judy's office was like Santa Monica and Vine.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, yeah, Santa Monica and Invite.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
I drive by it all the time, but on that
street anyway, And I remember going to Judy's office before,
like before Hollywood was like.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Nicer than it was. When it was like we're going
to Judy's office. You were like, oh, okay, We're gonna
like pull it back, and you know, it was, it was.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
It was an interesting time in Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
It was. But I were robbed on my street.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yes, yes, yeah, you had like the gate in front
of it. Yeah, like you had to protect the bungalow yep.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
But going back to back in the beginning of everything,
I know that you know, you had been a stage mom,
But what was it that made you decide that you
wanted to be an agent?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
All my life growing up, I grew up in Michigan
in a small town. I had to go to church
in the morning with my grandmother, so I could go
to the movies in the afternoon. And in this small
town there was one theater and the movies changed on Saturday,
so every Sunday I could see a new movie and
I'd come home from the movies and pray and wish
(07:00):
that I could go to Hollywood. I took singing lessons,
dancing lessons, acting, I couldn't do any of them, but
I just wanted to be in Hollywood. So it was
my kids. It was actually Mark who got started, and
then Tracy and then Brad and they got me into Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
So I was. I loved being an agent.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
And by the time I got the agency started, my
kids were growing up and going off to college.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
And so you were all my new kids. Yeah, I
felt like an aunt to all of you.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Hey, fan Ritos, don't forget to check out our merch
at howarudemerch dot com.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
We knew everybody it was, you know, And and that
was back in the days of like everything was a
phone call with no emails or anything, you know. So
it was right, but a lot of a lot of
carphone conversations between my mom and you or or sell
or carphones right that had to be installed in the
in your trunk because they they it was basically a
(08:12):
small satellite that you had to carry around.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
And I talked to each one of your mothers probably
every day.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Oh, yeah, yeah, Emily, guys, you.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Guys had interviews all the time. Yeah, not even that
many interviews anymore for you.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
No, no, well we always joke that no one needs to,
you know, use a Thomas Guide anymore. And by the
time we were five, we could have planned an entire
cross country navigation route on the Thomas guy.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah. Yeah, and Andrew, do you remember when I got remarried.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I married his father. It was.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Harris col He was out in the lobby and he
was asking you questions and said, I'm Andrea Barber and
I'm with the Salvage Agency.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I said, Average, I'm Andrew Barber, and I'm from the
Average Agency, the Average Agency. Yes, I was learning how
to slate and yeah, you're teaching how to slate and
so I was like, okay, that was four So of course,
and Barber and I'm part of the Average Agency.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
By the way, for those who listening and don't know
what a slate is, a slate is in the top
of an audition. You go in and you say your name,
usually where you're from, and how tall you are or
some weird sort of like or something like that, or
some or your shoe size.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Whatever they ask you for at that point. But yeah,
now what are the average agency? What are you two
doing today?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Well, I mean today I went to the gym. I like,
I mean like moming, acting, producing, podcasting, still still auditioning,
but it's all you know, it's all self tapes now.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, so different, it's very different. But yeah, no, we're.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Just all the cast inductors that I knew have all retired.
I mean, yeah, very few are still around.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Oh yeah, who was the first child actor that you represented?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Oh I heard it was Chad Allan.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Well, it was Chad Allen was the first. I had
a few, but Chad was the first one that got started. Okay,
chat and Charity, but Charity was shy, so Chad was
the one. And YouTube.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah, it's the early days, you know. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I wound up working with Chad Allen years later in treatment.
He went on, he went on to get his I
believe his doctors PhD or something. He yeah, he got
back in school and he and I, for yeah, a
brief time worked together when we were working in treatment.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
We worked at the same spot and it.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Was just so lovely to oh oh yeah, it's such
a sweet well.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
He decided when he was probably about twenty eight. I
think that this business was not he didn't choose it,
it was chosen for him. So he decided to go
back to school and get his masters and his PhD
and be a psychologist. Yeah, about three or four other
clients ended up being psychologists. So there's something something about
(11:20):
being an actor.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well, you have.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
To be crazy to get crazy, you know what I mean,
to understand it and work with it.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
You're like, ah, yes, I can relate to that.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Yeah, And I think it's I think it's because I
that's what I exactly what I would be doing. If
I weren't continuing to act, I would have gone back
to school and probably gotten my master's or PhD.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Right, it makes sense because you're as you're when you're
when you're creating a character, you're thinking about their motivations
and their emotions, and there it's very it is very
it's a psychological.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Study exactly, we're fast. It's a psychological study, and so
it's sort of like a natural offshoot of that.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
M Yeah, it seems like a natural a natural link.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
I mean you've represented you shan Lee Woodley and Emma
Stone and like people that have now gone on to
win Academy Awards, Andrew and I in the next ten
years obviously, But how could you tell when, like what
was the it thing that you just saw? Like how
did because you were so great at seeing it and
finding it and like what.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Was was it? Just there was just a certain spark.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I didn't know they were going to win Academy Awards.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I thought everybody I represented was going to be a star.
I mean, that's that's just what I went with Diane
and I would Diane Harden and.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I would say, they're going to be the biggest star.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
And Diane Harden is Judy's best friend who was also
an acting teacher or.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yes, and almost all of my clients after I met Diane,
I sent her to send them to Diane for training.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Such a great teacher, smart am well.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
She had been an actress, her husband is an actress,
her daughter is still an actress.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
And most remember.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Aaron lare at all.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I got him when he was six. He was in
a Broadway show and he was my client until he
turned twenty or twenty two. And he's married to the
singer from not Ariana Grande but from Wicked, the first,
(13:35):
the first Wicked, not.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
The most a Dina Manzell Mademoiselle.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
So he's married to Adana Mozelle. Okay, he's a psychologist.
He runs the place in Malibu, you know that place
in Malibu where all the.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
I mean I might know a few of them, list
of some names.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Pass just promises that's where I went.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Promises.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Okay, probably it might be well, I don't know who knows.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Anyway, he's the director of that and so but she
just now got a Broadway show and she's going to
New York for a year. So he'd like to fly
to New York every almost every weekend.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Wow, I mean it was so much fun.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
I mean, you really were such an amazing agent for
young people because you were so maternal and warm and kind,
and there were a lot of agents and managers that
we know of that were not.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
And you were.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Always like you just made us as young performers and
our parents feel like we were safe, you know what
I mean, Like you we knew that, like if something happened,
you could called Judy and Judy would be on it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Well, you know, one thing, there was an agent in
town who is no longer with.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
Us, I remember, and she would say the worst things
to kids, like one little one child drove all the
way from San Diego dressed like Annie and stood outside
Iris Burton's window and sang tomorrow tomorrow, and Irish opened
(15:29):
her window and said, kid, for you, there is no tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
And she was just mean.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, And so when I started, I said, I don't
want to be the kind of agent that has her
clients on the couch when they're the psychologist's clouch with
couch when they're forty years old.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
You asked me, how did I know?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, I thought everybody was going to be a star,
and I just happened to pick people. Almost everybody I
picked worked because they got training. But the fact that
you win an Academy Award is that you get a
certain role.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You know, either one of you could have gotten an
Academy Award if you've gotten a role because you're talented.
And Emma Stone just happened to get all these roles
that were weird and she went with it. Yeah, shy Lee,
well Shale, it's never gotten Academy award, but she's worked movies.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
But she's done a ton of stuffy Yeah, I loved
her in big little life.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
So what was your process, Like, I'm trying to remember
when we first met and we would come into your
office and you would have us read for you, right,
what what specifically were you looking for? Was it like
a certain skill or a mindset or a look?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Like?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
What what were you looking for in these kids?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Cute, short, talented, and personality, because that's what they want
when you're little, and they all, I just want a
six year old to play for a ten year old
to play.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
The tea works in your favor.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
If you're older and look younger, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
That worked in your favorite.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
But as you grew I that it's not. It doesn't matter.
Once you get into be a teenager.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Well then they want you to be Just have your
GED and be over eighteen so they don't have to
school you.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
You play sixteen, right, But neither one of you had
to do that.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
I did my GED. I took my GED in high school.
I think whatever, fifteen and a half whenever you could
do it. I still graduated, but I had it in
case I ever did work or a lot of times
it was like if you were auditioning and you were
fifteen sixteen, like a big piece of it was like,
do you have your ged?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Because they that was what they wanted.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
So yeah, so I did it and I don't think
I ever needed to use it on anything.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
But did you, Andrew?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Well, I didn't because I was on Full House till
I was eighteen. I was in college when Full House ended. Okay,
so I had already graduated from high school by the
time I was getting ready to retire from acting at
least for twenty years before I came back to it. Yeah,
there was no need for me to get my GED.
But yeah, that's fast. I didn't know that about you, Jody.
(18:11):
That's you learn something new every day.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Yeah, yeah, I got that to, you know, just make
it easier to work more easily. But then I was
in high school and I was like, I don't really
want to work all the time. I was kind of
enjoying just being a you know, quote unquote normal kid. Hey, fan,
rito's make sure that you go to our merch website,
(18:36):
how rude merch dot Com, where you can see all
of our fun T shirts, sweatshirts, crazy ideas that we
have and.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
We'd love to hear from you about more. So how
Rude Merch dot com well.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
And that's an important point, Judy. You let kids be kids,
like you never pressured us to work more than we
wanted to. I remember personally, when I was in junior
high or maybe like a freshman year in high school,
I was just done. Like when we were in hiatus
from Full House, I didn't want to go out on auditions.
I didn't want to do and I just wanted to
(19:05):
be a kid and hang out with my friends after school.
And so my parents, my mom and dad were like, Okay,
just call Judy and tell her. And I was so afraid,
and I was like, oh god, what was she going
to say? But no, like you were just like, great,
let me know when you're ready to come back and
go out for auditions again. And I was like, oh okay.
So I was just a kid for six months and
you were just like whatever, whatever you want to do.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That was you remember Krista Dan she was anyway. Christa
was very religious. She would get a callback, but she'd
have to go to some Christian camp or something, and
she absolutely would not go.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
On the callback.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So I would call them and I'd say, I'm sorry,
but Christa can't come in for this because she's got
a previous engagement, or she's going to a Christian thing.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
It never happened with other people. They just wait for her.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
I find that this business often it like if you
just say, hey, I just need another day, or like
can we do oftentimes.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
You people will work with you.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
And maybe that's because we've been in the business forever,
so it's a little more accommodating.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
But but yeah, you never.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Met like because you were well known.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yeah, you were well known.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
So they would wait for you. If you were new,
they wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I make Andrea wait for me all the time.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
I do. Are you still good friends?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yes, my gosh, yes.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
I was just down at her house the what like
two weeks ago because my older daughter, Zoe was playing
a soccer game at a school five minutes from where
she lived in her new house. So I went over
there and we had Mexican food and oh, yeah, Aby
and I are we're quite the duo.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
We're still close, just like we were growing up on
full House.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
And what are your children doing now?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I have I have My kids are almost grown.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Like.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I've got a twenty year old son named Tate. He's
in college studying psychology. And then my daughter Felicity is seventeen,
almost eighteen. She does show choir. She never went into acting,
but show choir. She's got that performance gene, you know,
the genet active and so she loves singing and dancing
for her show choir.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Yeah, yeah, I have Zoe, my older one is you know, soccer,
like she's my athlete. And then be definitely inherited the
performance gene. She is in musical theater and she's an
incredible singer. She's really talented. She's just started a band
with some friends. And she also is doing cheers. So yeah,
(21:39):
she anything that's like forward facing and requires a lot
of enthusiasm and rhythm and coordination, she's in it.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
So it's fun.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Long have you guys been doing this podcast.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Year and a half a year and a half, two
almost two years.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
So we're watching the entire series starting at full house
all the way through because we never watched Oh my god,
that's right, we didn't watch it. We were like, who
wants to watch that? I just did it last two
weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
We were always we were doing live shows. We were
doing live audience shows on Friday nights when the show.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Was airing right, right, So we were you know, and
also like we were in school when scenes that we
weren't in were happening, so we didn't see a lot.
So it's been really fun to go back and watch
the show and be like, oh my gosh, I didn't
remember this, or this is something I do remember about
this that's like weird behind the scenes, you know, and
(22:35):
have all those memories. Yeah, it's really incredible, really incredible,
very fulfilling, very fulfilling for both of us. So what
did do you have any favorite stories of your incredible
career as an agent? Is there anything that sticks out
to you as either ridiculous, outlandish, or or just something
(22:59):
that you were really proud of?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Well, I was proud of all my kids. But one time,
do you remember, way way back in the beginning, when
Monica was working with me?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You might Monica, I don't know, vaguely remember Monica, she.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Was only the first couple of years. Well, she was
a really bad influence on me because with old days
that there was nothing going on, she would bring out
the wine and she would light up a cigarette, I
mean a marijuana cigarette.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I was not good at marijuana. I coughed and choked.
But one day.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
It was long. In the beginning, it was very slow.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I had to bang for interviews, and so we had
this long period of time when there was nothing to do,
and so we started drinking wine and doing.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Smoking pot little pot right.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And Trudy Booth, I don't know if you remember, Trudy
Booth called and asked me to send her two boys
for this role. And I was high as a kite,
picked up, picked out two boys, had no idea if
(24:28):
they were right, and she would tear your hair out
if you sent her the wrong people. And I sent
them to her. And then when I got sober and
I thought, oh my god, you know they had to
go in at four o'clock in the afternoon. They're both wrong.
What am I going to do? They both got the job,
(24:48):
and it was like not nothing scientific about it at all.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
It just it just worked out, just worked out. That's easy.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That's how talented you were. I love that you could
pick out the right talent no matter the circumstances.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Circumstances and by the way, I don't do pot.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I don't even drink anymore because it makes me, gives
me a headache. And my son bought me some gummies
one time, like ten years ago, right, and he said,
just take a little bit. So one night I took
a little bit, thinking it would help me sleep. I
didn't do it. The next night, I took a little bit.
(25:32):
Follow the third night, I took a whole one and
I fell asleep. And then I got up in the
night to go to the bathroom and I just went
into a circle and fell and hit my head. Oh no,
no more gummy. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Well, it's like it's like when you think you're taking
a five milligram and someone gives you fifty.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, we're not talking about Jody Sweeten.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Let's just say.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Let's just say, let's.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Just say we have a very similar experience, me and
ab and but it's a story we're going to tell on.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
The podcast at some time, but to save it, let's so, yeah,
don't ever let your first pod experience be influenced by
Jody Sweeten.

Hey there, Fana Ritos, Welcome back to how Rude Tanner Ritos.
We have an extremely special episode for you today. We
are so excited to interview a woman who single handedly
changed both of our lives. The talent agent who represented
Jody and me as child actors, the fabulous Judy Savage.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yay.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Judy was a trailblazer who founded the Savage Agency over
forty years ago. She represented some of the biggest child
actors of the eighties and nineties, including Daniel Fischl, Writer Strong,
Danica mckeller, Kelly Martin, Laris Olennick, Elizabeth Berkeley, Hillary Swank,
and Emma Stone, just to name a few. Judy is
(00:58):
a legend in the entertainment industry. She always put the
kids first before productions or parents. She was a unique
combination of being a bulldog when it came to negotiations
with the studios, yet at the same time, she was
like a mother who focused on her kid's emotional wellbeing
above all else. She is proof that you can be
(01:20):
super successful in this business and treat people well. Our
love and appreciation for Judy knows no limits. It is
our honor to welcome to the pod the incomparable Judy Savage.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
But yeah, I know you had so many kids that
were acting in the eighties and nineties, it's hard to
keep them all straight.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I haven't lost my marbles yet. I can remember who
they all were. When I retired in twenty seventeen, I
still had thirty six kids on series. And the whole
business has changed. There's yeah, there's no long term series anymore.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
No, it's streaming. You're lucky if you get eight or thirteen.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I think I was about four.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh, you were three or four, and you were amazing.
And Andrew was like that young I was.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I was probably four, yeah, probably four. And I booked
days more lives when I was five.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Jody started book booking commercials like right away.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Mm hmm that similar commercial eyes your wide eyes didn't
need fried trip for years. You. I remember, like I
remember going to your office, to your bungalow and banner.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I loved that office.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I remember that the little waiting area with the shell
Silverstein books that's I read like the giving tree, like
these are the things I.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Can remember the sound of the creaking floor in that office.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
I know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Ye do you know that I bought that in two
thousand wait a minute, no, nineteen seventy seven for forty
thousand dollars, and when I retired in twenty seventeen, I
sold it for a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh my god, well that's easy. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It was only because and I sold it. Nobody could
come in and look at it. They had to just
drive by. But it was the land, the land.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I was going to say, that land now is like,
you know, because I remember going I remember going.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
To Judy's office.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Judy's office was like Santa Monica and Vine.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, yeah, Santa Monica and Invite.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
I drive by it all the time, but on that
street anyway, And I remember going to Judy's office before,
like before Hollywood was like.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Nicer than it was. When it was like we're going
to Judy's office. You were like, oh, okay, We're gonna
like pull it back, and you know, it was, it was.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
It was an interesting time in Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
It was. But I were robbed on my street.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yes, yes, yeah, you had like the gate in front
of it. Yeah, like you had to protect the bungalow yep.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
But going back to back in the beginning of everything,
I know that you know, you had been a stage mom,
But what was it that made you decide that you
wanted to be an agent?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
All my life growing up, I grew up in Michigan
in a small town. I had to go to church
in the morning with my grandmother, so I could go
to the movies in the afternoon. And in this small
town there was one theater and the movies changed on Saturday,
so every Sunday I could see a new movie and
I'd come home from the movies and pray and wish
(07:00):
that I could go to Hollywood. I took singing lessons,
dancing lessons, acting, I couldn't do any of them, but
I just wanted to be in Hollywood. So it was
my kids. It was actually Mark who got started, and
then Tracy and then Brad and they got me into Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
So I was. I loved being an agent.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
And by the time I got the agency started, my
kids were growing up and going off to college.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
And so you were all my new kids. Yeah, I
felt like an aunt to all of you.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Hey, fan Ritos, don't forget to check out our merch
at howarudemerch dot com.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
We knew everybody it was, you know, And and that
was back in the days of like everything was a
phone call with no emails or anything, you know. So
it was right, but a lot of a lot of
carphone conversations between my mom and you or or sell
or carphones right that had to be installed in the
in your trunk because they they it was basically a
(08:12):
small satellite that you had to carry around.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
And I talked to each one of your mothers probably
every day.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Oh, yeah, yeah, Emily, guys, you.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Guys had interviews all the time. Yeah, not even that
many interviews anymore for you.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
No, no, well we always joke that no one needs to,
you know, use a Thomas Guide anymore. And by the
time we were five, we could have planned an entire
cross country navigation route on the Thomas guy.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah. Yeah, and Andrew, do you remember when I got remarried.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I married his father. It was.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Harris col He was out in the lobby and he
was asking you questions and said, I'm Andrea Barber and
I'm with the Salvage Agency.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I said, Average, I'm Andrew Barber, and I'm from the
Average Agency, the Average Agency. Yes, I was learning how
to slate and yeah, you're teaching how to slate and
so I was like, okay, that was four So of course,
and Barber and I'm part of the Average Agency.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
By the way, for those who listening and don't know
what a slate is, a slate is in the top
of an audition. You go in and you say your name,
usually where you're from, and how tall you are or
some weird sort of like or something like that, or
some or your shoe size.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Whatever they ask you for at that point. But yeah,
now what are the average agency? What are you two
doing today?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Well, I mean today I went to the gym. I like,
I mean like moming, acting, producing, podcasting, still still auditioning,
but it's all you know, it's all self tapes now.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, so different, it's very different. But yeah, no, we're.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Just all the cast inductors that I knew have all retired.
I mean, yeah, very few are still around.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Oh yeah, who was the first child actor that you represented?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Oh I heard it was Chad Allan.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Well, it was Chad Allen was the first. I had
a few, but Chad was the first one that got started. Okay,
chat and Charity, but Charity was shy, so Chad was
the one. And YouTube.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah, it's the early days, you know. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I wound up working with Chad Allen years later in treatment.
He went on, he went on to get his I
believe his doctors PhD or something. He yeah, he got
back in school and he and I, for yeah, a
brief time worked together when we were working in treatment.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
We worked at the same spot and it.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Was just so lovely to oh oh yeah, it's such
a sweet well.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
He decided when he was probably about twenty eight. I
think that this business was not he didn't choose it,
it was chosen for him. So he decided to go
back to school and get his masters and his PhD
and be a psychologist. Yeah, about three or four other
clients ended up being psychologists. So there's something something about
(11:20):
being an actor.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well, you have.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
To be crazy to get crazy, you know what I mean,
to understand it and work with it.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
You're like, ah, yes, I can relate to that.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Yeah, And I think it's I think it's because I
that's what I exactly what I would be doing. If
I weren't continuing to act, I would have gone back
to school and probably gotten my master's or PhD.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Right, it makes sense because you're as you're when you're
when you're creating a character, you're thinking about their motivations
and their emotions, and there it's very it is very
it's a psychological.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Study exactly, we're fast. It's a psychological study, and so
it's sort of like a natural offshoot of that.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
M Yeah, it seems like a natural a natural link.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
I mean you've represented you shan Lee Woodley and Emma
Stone and like people that have now gone on to
win Academy Awards, Andrew and I in the next ten
years obviously, But how could you tell when, like what
was the it thing that you just saw? Like how
did because you were so great at seeing it and
finding it and like what.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Was was it? Just there was just a certain spark.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I didn't know they were going to win Academy Awards.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I thought everybody I represented was going to be a star.
I mean, that's that's just what I went with Diane
and I would Diane Harden and.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I would say, they're going to be the biggest star.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
And Diane Harden is Judy's best friend who was also
an acting teacher or.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yes, and almost all of my clients after I met Diane,
I sent her to send them to Diane for training.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Such a great teacher, smart am well.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
She had been an actress, her husband is an actress,
her daughter is still an actress.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
And most remember.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Aaron lare at all.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I got him when he was six. He was in
a Broadway show and he was my client until he
turned twenty or twenty two. And he's married to the
singer from not Ariana Grande but from Wicked, the first,
(13:35):
the first Wicked, not.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
The most a Dina Manzell Mademoiselle.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
So he's married to Adana Mozelle. Okay, he's a psychologist.
He runs the place in Malibu, you know that place
in Malibu where all the.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
I mean I might know a few of them, list
of some names.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Pass just promises that's where I went.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Promises.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Okay, probably it might be well, I don't know who knows.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Anyway, he's the director of that and so but she
just now got a Broadway show and she's going to
New York for a year. So he'd like to fly
to New York every almost every weekend.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Wow, I mean it was so much fun.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
I mean, you really were such an amazing agent for
young people because you were so maternal and warm and kind,
and there were a lot of agents and managers that
we know of that were not.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
And you were.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Always like you just made us as young performers and
our parents feel like we were safe, you know what
I mean, Like you we knew that, like if something happened,
you could called Judy and Judy would be on it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Well, you know, one thing, there was an agent in
town who is no longer with.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
Us, I remember, and she would say the worst things
to kids, like one little one child drove all the
way from San Diego dressed like Annie and stood outside
Iris Burton's window and sang tomorrow tomorrow, and Irish opened
(15:29):
her window and said, kid, for you, there is no tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
And she was just mean.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, And so when I started, I said, I don't
want to be the kind of agent that has her
clients on the couch when they're the psychologist's clouch with
couch when they're forty years old.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
You asked me, how did I know?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, I thought everybody was going to be a star,
and I just happened to pick people. Almost everybody I
picked worked because they got training. But the fact that
you win an Academy Award is that you get a
certain role.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You know, either one of you could have gotten an
Academy Award if you've gotten a role because you're talented.
And Emma Stone just happened to get all these roles
that were weird and she went with it. Yeah, shy Lee,
well Shale, it's never gotten Academy award, but she's worked movies.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
But she's done a ton of stuffy Yeah, I loved
her in big little life.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
So what was your process, Like, I'm trying to remember
when we first met and we would come into your
office and you would have us read for you, right,
what what specifically were you looking for? Was it like
a certain skill or a mindset or a look?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Like?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
What what were you looking for in these kids?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Cute, short, talented, and personality, because that's what they want
when you're little, and they all, I just want a
six year old to play for a ten year old
to play.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
The tea works in your favor.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
If you're older and look younger, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
That worked in your favorite.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
But as you grew I that it's not. It doesn't matter.
Once you get into be a teenager.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Well then they want you to be Just have your
GED and be over eighteen so they don't have to
school you.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
You play sixteen, right, But neither one of you had
to do that.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
I did my GED. I took my GED in high school.
I think whatever, fifteen and a half whenever you could
do it. I still graduated, but I had it in
case I ever did work or a lot of times
it was like if you were auditioning and you were
fifteen sixteen, like a big piece of it was like,
do you have your ged?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Because they that was what they wanted.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
So yeah, so I did it and I don't think
I ever needed to use it on anything.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
But did you, Andrew?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Well, I didn't because I was on Full House till
I was eighteen. I was in college when Full House ended. Okay,
so I had already graduated from high school by the
time I was getting ready to retire from acting at
least for twenty years before I came back to it. Yeah,
there was no need for me to get my GED.
But yeah, that's fast. I didn't know that about you, Jody.
(18:11):
That's you learn something new every day.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Yeah, yeah, I got that to, you know, just make
it easier to work more easily. But then I was
in high school and I was like, I don't really
want to work all the time. I was kind of
enjoying just being a you know, quote unquote normal kid. Hey, fan,
rito's make sure that you go to our merch website,
(18:36):
how rude merch dot Com, where you can see all
of our fun T shirts, sweatshirts, crazy ideas that we
have and.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
We'd love to hear from you about more. So how
Rude Merch dot com well.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
And that's an important point, Judy. You let kids be kids,
like you never pressured us to work more than we
wanted to. I remember personally, when I was in junior
high or maybe like a freshman year in high school,
I was just done. Like when we were in hiatus
from Full House, I didn't want to go out on auditions.
I didn't want to do and I just wanted to
(19:05):
be a kid and hang out with my friends after school.
And so my parents, my mom and dad were like, Okay,
just call Judy and tell her. And I was so afraid,
and I was like, oh god, what was she going
to say? But no, like you were just like, great,
let me know when you're ready to come back and
go out for auditions again. And I was like, oh okay.
So I was just a kid for six months and
you were just like whatever, whatever you want to do.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That was you remember Krista Dan she was anyway. Christa
was very religious. She would get a callback, but she'd
have to go to some Christian camp or something, and
she absolutely would not go.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
On the callback.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So I would call them and I'd say, I'm sorry,
but Christa can't come in for this because she's got
a previous engagement, or she's going to a Christian thing.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
It never happened with other people. They just wait for her.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
I find that this business often it like if you
just say, hey, I just need another day, or like
can we do oftentimes.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
You people will work with you.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
And maybe that's because we've been in the business forever,
so it's a little more accommodating.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
But but yeah, you never.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Met like because you were well known.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yeah, you were well known.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
So they would wait for you. If you were new,
they wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I make Andrea wait for me all the time.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
I do. Are you still good friends?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yes, my gosh, yes.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
I was just down at her house the what like
two weeks ago because my older daughter, Zoe was playing
a soccer game at a school five minutes from where
she lived in her new house. So I went over
there and we had Mexican food and oh, yeah, Aby
and I are we're quite the duo.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
We're still close, just like we were growing up on
full House.
Speaker 3 (20:52):

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I've got a twenty year old son named Tate. He's
in college studying psychology. And then my daughter Felicity is seventeen,
almost eighteen. She does show choir. She never went into acting,
but show choir. She's got that performance gene, you know,
the genet active and so she loves singing and dancing
for her show choir.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Yeah, yeah, I have Zoe, my older one is you know, soccer,
like she's my athlete. And then be definitely inherited the
performance gene. She is in musical theater and she's an
incredible singer. She's really talented. She's just started a band
with some friends. And she also is doing cheers. So yeah,
(21:39):
she anything that's like forward facing and requires a lot
of enthusiasm and rhythm and coordination, she's in it.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
So it's fun.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Long have you guys been doing this podcast.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Year and a half a year and a half, two
almost two years.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
So we're watching the entire series starting at full house
all the way through because we never watched Oh my god,
that's right, we didn't watch it. We were like, who
wants to watch that? I just did it last two
weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
We were always we were doing live shows. We were
doing live audience shows on Friday nights when the show.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Was airing right, right, So we were you know, and
also like we were in school when scenes that we
weren't in were happening, so we didn't see a lot.
So it's been really fun to go back and watch
the show and be like, oh my gosh, I didn't
remember this, or this is something I do remember about
this that's like weird behind the scenes, you know, and
(22:35):
have all those memories. Yeah, it's really incredible, really incredible,
very fulfilling, very fulfilling for both of us. So what
did do you have any favorite stories of your incredible
career as an agent? Is there anything that sticks out
to you as either ridiculous, outlandish, or or just something
(22:59):
that you were really proud of?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Well, I was proud of all my kids. But one time,
do you remember, way way back in the beginning, when
Monica was working with me?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You might Monica, I don't know, vaguely remember Monica, she.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Was only the first couple of years. Well, she was
a really bad influence on me because with old days
that there was nothing going on, she would bring out
the wine and she would light up a cigarette, I
mean a marijuana cigarette.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I was not good at marijuana. I coughed and choked.
But one day.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
It was long. In the beginning, it was very slow.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I had to bang for interviews, and so we had
this long period of time when there was nothing to do,
and so we started drinking wine and doing.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Smoking pot little pot right.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And Trudy Booth, I don't know if you remember, Trudy
Booth called and asked me to send her two boys
for this role. And I was high as a kite,
picked up, picked out two boys, had no idea if
(24:28):
they were right, and she would tear your hair out
if you sent her the wrong people. And I sent
them to her. And then when I got sober and
I thought, oh my god, you know they had to
go in at four o'clock in the afternoon. They're both wrong.
What am I going to do? They both got the job,
(24:48):
and it was like not nothing scientific about it at all.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
It just it just worked out, just worked out. That's easy.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That's how talented you were. I love that you could
pick out the right talent no matter the circumstances.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Circumstances and by the way, I don't do pot.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I don't even drink anymore because it makes me, gives
me a headache. And my son bought me some gummies
one time, like ten years ago, right, and he said,
just take a little bit. So one night I took
a little bit, thinking it would help me sleep. I
didn't do it. The next night, I took a little bit.
(25:32):
Follow the third night, I took a whole one and
I fell asleep. And then I got up in the
night to go to the bathroom and I just went
into a circle and fell and hit my head. Oh no,
no more gummy. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Well, it's like it's like when you think you're taking
a five milligram and someone gives you fifty.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, we're not talking about Jody Sweeten.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Let's just say.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Let's just say, let's.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Just say we have a very similar experience, me and
ab and but it's a story we're going to tell on.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
The podcast at some time, but to save it, let's so, yeah,
don't ever let your first pod experience be influenced by
Jody Sweeten.
