(01:52):
Ladies and Gentlemen, I Give you Katherine Bayless. Hey, y'all, Catherine,
tell us how you got into acting.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Well, that's a good question, Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
So I started off as a dancer and I'm a
little Mississippi girl and got the dancing bug there, and
then went to New York City for school.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
And then I fell into acting because I did musical theater.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And basically a manager approached me after a musical theater
performance and I.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Was like, oh, I'm a dancer.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
She's like, no, I think you're an actress too, and
I was like okay, And I auditioned for her and
then she starts sending me out. I'm like, oh gosh.
I got to take it seriously. And I went to
Williamsburg Conservatory in Manhattan, and that's how I really got
the bug and fell in love with it, and I
never gave up the dancing. I thought I was getting
up the dancing when I moved to LA from New
(02:45):
York City, and then every job I got basically I
was dancing and singing along with the acting triple threat.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Triple threat, they call you a triple threats. You could
do it all. Oh yeah, So telling about the first
big role.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That you got, Oh, okay, the first big role, Well,
I will talk about the first role I got, which
was kind of funny. I moved to LA, I'd been
there for a week and I went over to my
agency and they're like, oh, we had this great audition
for you. So I went in for it, auditioned, didn't
think anything of it. They called me back and a
(03:25):
week later they said you got the role. And I
was like, what do you mean I got the role.
It's my first audition ever. They're like, you got it.
So it was for bringing On Again the Cheerleading movie.
Oh wow, And ironically I didn't play cheerleader. I played
a quirky reporter that had multi personalities and yeah, I
h that was it. That was a big one. And
then the next big on the same cast, director he
(03:47):
called me in for this movie just you wait, from
Justin to Kelly, Yes, the American Idol Musical. And that
was honestly like a dream come true for me because
they got to do it all. And I I tell
everybody it was a paid vacation in Miami for like
three and a half months. And that was my first
big role. I mean, you name it, we did it.
(04:09):
And that's when I got the taste of Hollywood for sure.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh sure, who directed the Justin with Kelly thing? But
I'm sorry that bring it on the first one you mentioned?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
The first one? Oh damon Santa Stephane.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Okay, all right, Okay, I thought it was somebody else. Yeah,
So tell us how you got the role of Stephanie.
Do you remember the audition?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, So I remember I had gone
and for Gimmick Girls for another role, like a long
time ago, but here they called me in for this one,
and I was literally called gorilla girl drunk girl, and
I went, huh, I think I have some practice in that.
My friends like just channel the other night. I'll think
stright great. So I go in and the audition was
(04:53):
like barely any lines, and you saw the Norman Mayler,
you know episode and I literally had to like minute
taking off the gorilla mask and being drunk and they're
just they're laughing at me. I'm like, really, like, I'm
not really doing much. But you know, there's a fine
line between acting too drunk and then just being tipsy.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
So yeah, I guess, I guess I did a good job.
And that was my first audition and then they literally
roll and so I was so pumped.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
And I didn't have a name yet.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So they were like, yeah, you don't have a name.
I'm like, okay, just Gorilla girl. And then I went
into the table read and I know all girl were
in the table read and it was such and they
finally gave me a name and they said, oh, by
the way, this is recurring, so you're going to be
in the next episode.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
So that's what I knew.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Like, yes, because I loved Gilmore Girls and I just
love the best pace.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Obviously I talked so so you'd watch the you were
aware of the show before you audition?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Yes, I was ware of the show. Had I seen
every single episode?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
No, because it was the season, But I did know
the genre and I knew, like, you know, all the characters,
made most of the characters and everything, but had never
met anybody yet. So I will say that Gilmore Girls
was probably the most welcoming cast.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I became buddies with.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
With Alexis like right away, and all those boys that
were in the episode, we all still like stay in
touch for years, which was cool.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Why do you think they didn't develop your character more
with with Logan in the last three seasons?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Why didn't they?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I'll tell you, I'll tell you why. What happened, and
this is what I think. So they actually called me
back to work. They said they were calling me back
for my availability after that second episode that I did,
and I had booked a recurring role on One Tree Hill,
and so I was so bombed because I wanted to
(07:01):
do both, but it wouldn't work out because I was
shooting One Tree Hill in North Carolina, right and you
know when it rains.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
At poors in Hollywood, you know, you're like, I can't
get a job to save my life.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And then all of a sudden, you're like, I got
two jobs and like basically I'm on it. Like it
was crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So you're you're over there in North Carolina with Chad
Michael Murray.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I was.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Because I'm doing a series with him right now.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Yeah, what's the series.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oh, it's called Sullivan's Crossing. It's a yes, yeah, yeah,
it's coming to the CW in the fall. Actually, yes, yeah.
We already finished our first season. The first season already aired.
Last Sunday was the last two episodes. They did a
back to back episode. So first season's done. So Canada
is all abuzz. Now it's coming to the US. We're
(07:55):
bringing the Band of the United States. We're playing stadiums.
We're gonna rock.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I love it. I'll be there.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
What was it like working with Matt Suecri Did you
get to work with Matt A lot?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I did, And you know, at the time, I mean,
don't quote me, but like, I mean that was an
up and coming actor, you know, and you know as
as I mean I trained, you know, and so did he.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
And I was like, Wow, this guy is intense.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
They were doing that that scene when they're about to
jump off right and I could see him preparing, like
in a corner, like legit, getting ready to have that
thrill when after they jumped, you know, and like and
I was standing like right there and I'm like dang.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I was like, who's do you, Matt?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And not only is he a great actor and really
like serious about his craft, like he's just a really
good person. And we had some really late late late
nights on that shoot because we were shooting the whole
Safarian I mean we shot until daylight. And that was
probably like one of the coolest experiences as well. And
(09:08):
so we have to know each other, all of us
kids like that little life and Death brigade, little group.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Right, yeah, fun group. We we just got to experience
some of them on this Let the party's over this
last episode when they're in Richard's poolhouse and they come
out and Dean sees them, and Rory's in the tiara
and Dean skulks away, and you know, Logan puts his
arm around her and says, we'll get you through it, kid,
come on back inside, you know. I mean, he's just
he is. He's so good, isn't he he is?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
He's so charming.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And I really thought that everyone was rooting for him
when he got on the show, and they wanted they
wanted that love affair to keep on going forever and ever.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Believe it or not, not everyone but I'm certainly one
in the in the rooting for for Logan column. I
just love this this new energy injected into the show
because the first time I've seen the show, I'm just
it for the first time. I love this energy that
he brings to this show. I love this storyline because
I mean, where's it gonna go? Rory's out of the house,
(10:09):
laurelized with Luca. It's like all of these storylines are
sort of kind of tie everything. All the loose ends
are tying up, right, so things are blossoming, and but like,
where's the story going now? And it's like Logan, thank you, Logan,
thank you, thank you Logan. So so you pretty much
(10:30):
remember where you filmed the the glamping scene. Where did
you shoot that? Because we, you know, we were speculating
on where that was. I know it was California, had
to be, but oh no, no.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
No, it was definitely California because I drove out there
because I remember calling my dad. My daddy gives up
really early for work. He's an attorney. He's crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
He get like three. So I was excited, like, Dad,
I'm coming home from work, you know, And I'm like,
I don't know whatever. But the heat. I remember it was.
It was out.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I want to say, like by Griffith Observatory area. It
was around there, like like somewhere around there.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I mean that's you know, no, no, it wasn't too bad.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
But the drive, the one that was the farthest out, well,
the Disney ranch was where we shot the other you know,
the big scene like you know, when the jumping with
the umbrellas and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
But that location was filled with bees.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
That was oh yes, that was my memory from there.
So here we are dressed to the nines, you know,
and we've got this fake champagne and which, by the way,
I will stick by the end of the day because
I drank so much of this ginger all but it
has so much sugar in it. So the bees were
like everywhere. I'm like, y'all, this is not cool, like
(12:03):
and we didn't know what to do. And like I'm like,
we're gonna go put our champagne every year until we start,
you know, filming, and then bring it back. But but
no one, I don't think anybody got bit which was
but but yeah, I remember that was a really fun episode.
And I will tell you what the working with Knny
Ortega was like life.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
You worked with him obviously several times.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, and his episodes really pop. I mean those episodes
are just filled with life. Every frame is the beautifully lit.
It's just Kenny's a master. Kenny's great.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Oh yeah, I will never forget. She's like Catherine, just
go over there and be fabulous. And I've watched the
episode recently.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I went, oh my god. He he literally got to me.
I was in the background just being fabulous, and I'm like,
everybody probably thinks Stephanie is just like a drunk lush
like she needs to go to Rea.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It was hilarious.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Kenny just such a great director. So what do you
remember about Alexis? Did you did you get to know Alexis? Well,
you said you you became a little bit of friends
with her. What was it like working with her on
set and meeting her for the first time the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Well, I'm kind of a big personality, so I'm not shah,
I probably should be shot. And all my scenes were
with her, right and you know, the first day I
made her was the gorilla thing or not, and we
didn't how much time to like really like bond.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
But again, the second episode.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
My gosh, we were together twenty four to seven off
of these locations.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
You know, we're all just hanging out board, you know,
when we're not filming, and we really just hit it off.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
She's so down to earth and just a real person
and not that it's you know, hard to find somebody
like that, but like you just don't think someone like
that is so busy and so talented and that it's
going to be just like, oh yeah, let's hang out.
So we ended up actually hanging out outside of set
and we became friends, and you know, it was short
(14:06):
lived because I then left for North Carolina, but we
really got along and we even like you know, went
to like some events together and stuff like that. Just yeah,
she just uh, she's kind of like this like quiet
but like interesting, right, little like light right.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
All right, So we're gonna do a little thing we
call rapid fire. So I'm just gonna ask you some
questions and just answer them to the best of your ability.
How do you like your coffee?
Speaker 4 (14:47):

of stevia and some cinnamon.

the thing in the future. It's just such so obvious
what it is. What would you order at Luke's diner?

No Jackson or Taylor for town selectmen?

Harvard or Yale?
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Well you gotta go Yale because that's where my character was.
Speaker 3 (15:51):

So you're you're over there in North Carolina with Chad
Michael Murray.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I was.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Because I'm doing a series with him right now.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Yeah, what's the series.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oh, it's called Sullivan's Crossing. It's a yes, yeah, yeah,
it's coming to the CW in the fall. Actually, yes, yeah.
We already finished our first season. The first season already aired.
Last Sunday was the last two episodes. They did a
back to back episode. So first season's done. So Canada
is all abuzz. Now it's coming to the US. We're
(07:55):
bringing the Band of the United States. We're playing stadiums.
We're gonna rock.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I love it. I'll be there.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
What was it like working with Matt Suecri Did you
get to work with Matt A lot?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I did, And you know, at the time, I mean,
don't quote me, but like, I mean that was an
up and coming actor, you know, and you know as
as I mean I trained, you know, and so did he.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
And I was like, Wow, this guy is intense.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
They were doing that that scene when they're about to
jump off right and I could see him preparing, like
in a corner, like legit, getting ready to have that
thrill when after they jumped, you know, and like and
I was standing like right there and I'm like dang.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I was like, who's do you, Matt?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And not only is he a great actor and really
like serious about his craft, like he's just a really
good person. And we had some really late late late
nights on that shoot because we were shooting the whole
Safarian I mean we shot until daylight. And that was
probably like one of the coolest experiences as well. And
(09:08):
so we have to know each other, all of us
kids like that little life and Death brigade, little group.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Right, yeah, fun group. We we just got to experience
some of them on this Let the party's over this
last episode when they're in Richard's poolhouse and they come
out and Dean sees them, and Rory's in the tiara
and Dean skulks away, and you know, Logan puts his
arm around her and says, we'll get you through it, kid,
come on back inside, you know. I mean, he's just
he is. He's so good, isn't he he is?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
He's so charming.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And I really thought that everyone was rooting for him
when he got on the show, and they wanted they
wanted that love affair to keep on going forever and ever.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Believe it or not, not everyone but I'm certainly one
in the in the rooting for for Logan column. I
just love this this new energy injected into the show
because the first time I've seen the show, I'm just
it for the first time. I love this energy that
he brings to this show. I love this storyline because
I mean, where's it gonna go? Rory's out of the house,
(10:09):
laurelized with Luca. It's like all of these storylines are
sort of kind of tie everything. All the loose ends
are tying up, right, so things are blossoming, and but like,
where's the story going now? And it's like Logan, thank you, Logan,
thank you, thank you Logan. So so you pretty much
(10:30):
remember where you filmed the the glamping scene. Where did
you shoot that? Because we, you know, we were speculating
on where that was. I know it was California, had
to be, but oh no, no.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
No, it was definitely California because I drove out there
because I remember calling my dad. My daddy gives up
really early for work. He's an attorney. He's crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
He get like three. So I was excited, like, Dad,
I'm coming home from work, you know, And I'm like,
I don't know whatever. But the heat. I remember it was.
It was out.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I want to say, like by Griffith Observatory area. It
was around there, like like somewhere around there.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I mean that's you know, no, no, it wasn't too bad.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
But the drive, the one that was the farthest out, well,
the Disney ranch was where we shot the other you know,
the big scene like you know, when the jumping with
the umbrellas and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
But that location was filled with bees.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
That was oh yes, that was my memory from there.
So here we are dressed to the nines, you know,
and we've got this fake champagne and which, by the way,
I will stick by the end of the day because
I drank so much of this ginger all but it
has so much sugar in it. So the bees were
like everywhere. I'm like, y'all, this is not cool, like
(12:03):
and we didn't know what to do. And like I'm like,
we're gonna go put our champagne every year until we start,
you know, filming, and then bring it back. But but
no one, I don't think anybody got bit which was
but but yeah, I remember that was a really fun episode.
And I will tell you what the working with Knny
Ortega was like life.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
You worked with him obviously several times.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, and his episodes really pop. I mean those episodes
are just filled with life. Every frame is the beautifully lit.
It's just Kenny's a master. Kenny's great.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Oh yeah, I will never forget. She's like Catherine, just
go over there and be fabulous. And I've watched the
episode recently.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I went, oh my god. He he literally got to me.
I was in the background just being fabulous, and I'm like,
everybody probably thinks Stephanie is just like a drunk lush
like she needs to go to Rea.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It was hilarious.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Kenny just such a great director. So what do you
remember about Alexis? Did you did you get to know Alexis? Well,
you said you you became a little bit of friends
with her. What was it like working with her on
set and meeting her for the first time the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Well, I'm kind of a big personality, so I'm not shah,
I probably should be shot. And all my scenes were
with her, right and you know, the first day I
made her was the gorilla thing or not, and we
didn't how much time to like really like bond.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
But again, the second episode.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
My gosh, we were together twenty four to seven off
of these locations.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
You know, we're all just hanging out board, you know,
when we're not filming, and we really just hit it off.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
She's so down to earth and just a real person
and not that it's you know, hard to find somebody
like that, but like you just don't think someone like
that is so busy and so talented and that it's
going to be just like, oh yeah, let's hang out.
So we ended up actually hanging out outside of set
and we became friends, and you know, it was short
(14:06):
lived because I then left for North Carolina, but we
really got along and we even like you know, went
to like some events together and stuff like that. Just yeah,
she just uh, she's kind of like this like quiet
but like interesting, right, little like light right.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
All right, So we're gonna do a little thing we
call rapid fire. So I'm just gonna ask you some
questions and just answer them to the best of your ability.
How do you like your coffee?
Speaker 4 (14:47):

of stevia and some cinnamon.

the thing in the future. It's just such so obvious
what it is. What would you order at Luke's diner?

Speaker 4 (15:47):
Well you gotta go Yale because that's where my character was.
