Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everybody, Scott Patterson, I am all in podcast. We
(00:02):
are going to run a panel discussion that I had
with Sean Gunn at the Galaxy con convention in Raleigh,
North Carolina a little while ago, and I hope you
enjoy it. Hello, that's kiss you. I am all in
(00:32):
with Scott Patterson and I Hurt Radio podcast. Ladies and gentlemen,
Sean gun Scott Patterson. But come we're guys y. Hi everybody. Hi, Hello, gentlemen.
(01:00):
How has your weekend been so far? It's busy, We're busy.
Good to be in uh Raleigh, Durham, that's for sure.
It's been forty one year since I've been in Durham.
I was a former Durham bulle and it's nice to
be back and see all these smiling faces. That's cool. Yeah,
I like being here. I was at a convention here
(01:23):
like five like six years ago, maybe five or six
years ago, um, and haven't been back since. But it's wonderful. Um.
I just got in. I can't wait to explore the
city a little more. But it's been great, awesome. Wait,
we're happy to have you guys. Uh. So we'll kind
of get into it. We kind of have to. That's
(01:44):
the whole point of this um Gilmore Girls cult phenomenon
that spans gender age. It's just it's like the show
that just tapped into a vein that television I think
almost didn't really expect. Um. Did you guys know that
right off the page? Did it come to you? Was
that a parent? Yeah? It was unusually um, you know,
(02:09):
I don't refer to it as sticky. You know, Amy
grew up with a father who was a stand up comic,
and she had all of these legends in her living room,
Don Rickles and Dom DeLuise and all the leading comedians
of the day. So and and extends itself into Mazel
where the character is it's like, get over it already.
(02:32):
Amy write a show about a stand up comic that's
a woman, and she did in Gilmore Girls too, because
Laurela is basically a stand up comic. Because and and
a lot of other people on the show, Sean being
one of them, uh and one of the finest physical
comedians that I've seen, um and unsung, and that aggravates me,
(02:57):
which is why I have a podcast. And uh, here's
a secret. I asked Seawan to be my co host.
But he was, he's so busy being a movie star
he can't do it, and God bless him, God bless him. Um.
But I think I think that's unique in any type
of uh television endeavor where the lead character is just
(03:19):
doing joke after joke after joke after to joke after
joke and it kind of makes sense, you know, it's
not too far afield. So I think that's the secret
power of the show, amongst all the other obvious reasons. Um,
But to put it in a sort of uh, you know,
a sort of a family drama of that kind of
depth and power and meaning, and especially in a Daniel
(03:41):
Palladino written episode, I'm finding a pattern where it's everything
is light and funny and charming, and then at the
end there's a heavy moment um and he really just
rips your heart out with it. So I just think
the writing is unusually uh um powerful, but it's but
you get to enjoy this all these great jokes. So
(04:04):
I think that's the uniqueness of it. Yeah, I that's
interesting calling Lorelia a stand up. It's true, there's it
really is. There's just a lot there's a large element
of that, um, you know, Scott was with the show
from the the very very top, and I came in
a little bit later. I was on the first episode
after the pilot. Um and uh. And I didn't know.
(04:27):
I didn't know anything about the show and I had
no idea whether it would be successful or not. I
think if you ask me then I probably would have
guessed no. Um, but I don't. But not because of
but but but partially just because I didn't. I didn't
quite see where it fit, you know. And it was like, um,
(04:49):
like you can tell by when they were award nominations
in the first year, it was up for comedy and
then they changed it to drama or something like that,
and like the and and and it was like, oh,
this show doesn't know exactly what it is, which I
thought at the time might hurt it. But it turns out,
and we've seen this in television, that audience has had
much more of a taste for that than people knew.
(05:09):
So that turned out to be actually one of the
big strengths of the show, that it that it was
that it did both, that it really was you know,
as you were just talking about it would be funny
and then heavy and it would kind of go back
and forth, but um, but I really the thing is
is that you know, great writing will always shine through,
(05:31):
it will always rise to the rise to the surface
and and make something really good and this and the
writing on the show is terrific, so um so looking back,
I think, I think me now would read it and say, oh,
this is a surefire hit because the writing is great
and that's really all you need. Um. But it's been
a hell of a ride when I just um, elaborate
(05:55):
a little bit, um and I know we have other questions.
But when I got on this set for the first
time in Toronto, in Unionville, where we shot the pilot,
I went a little bit early because I wanted to
sort of check out Luke's Diner and what it was
going to be all about, and spent a little time
in it, and Lauren and Alexis were sitting there rehearsing
a scene in the diner, and the chemistry between them
(06:16):
was so good and so easy and so free that
I thought, boy, this is this, This might be something,
you know. And then I remember having a conversation with Lauren.
Amy would have a Christmas party every year at our
house is massive palitial estate. Um, And I remember having
a conversation with with Lauren at that party, you know,
(06:37):
what do you think it's how long you think it's
gonna go? And we both kind of agreed that it
would we would go at least five years. So that
was my gut reaction that it was gonna We're gonna
get over a hundred episodes. We're gonna get the cake.
See the executives come out of their suits and give
you a cake. If you get a hundred episodes, you know,
it's like congratulations for your hundred episodes, you know, because
(06:58):
so few get two hundred episode odes um and and
so our show amazingly paid for all of their duds.
They lost money on um UM, but very grateful to
be a part of it. Um. But yeah, I thought
it would go about five I remember at the time
that Will and Grace had gone a hundred episodes and
(07:19):
all of the all of the actors on the show
got mercedes to celebrate like that. The network gave them
as a gift, gave them mercedes, and I'm like, I
wonder what we're gonna get and I think I got
an actual tote bag. Oh w B. I mean they
(07:41):
didn't they just didn't have the budget, you know, God
bless even a bracelet like a cubic zirconium or something
and a picture of a car. Yeah right, yeah, Uh,
well looks like we actually have a question. Let's go
ahead and go ahead and see we have what's your name? Naomi?
(08:02):
And I'm enjoying it for a second time watching this
show with my daughter who was fourteen, So it's a
lot of fun for me. But to piggyback on what
you were saying, the banter of the episode is fast paced.
How often oh I started a line? Now, how many
takes would it take to get through a typical scene? Uh?
(08:25):
It varied, but you know, we we had to do
a lot of takes because it was Um. First of all,
we shot right next to an airport, um and often
outside Uh we're right right by Burbank Airport, which is funny.
But also, you know, the pattern and the rhythm of
the show is very specific and every thing had to
(08:49):
be verbatim. Uh and so and if it wasn't, we
would do it again. Um. And it's in the moment
it feels, you know, when you're working really long hours
and whatever, it can be like damn it really you know, Um,
but but it it. But when you see it in retrospect,
it had to be that way like it had. The
(09:11):
show had to work the way that it that it worked.
It's like a it's like a the Rupe Goldberg machine
or something like that. I was gonna say, it's a
precision machine. Yeah, it absolutely, Yeah, And so sometimes it
would take a lot, it would it would take a
long time, but we generally knew our lines, so it
was all right. We had one director who will remain nameless,
(09:33):
who was very good director, really knew where to put
the camera, which is half the battle um. And we
referred to that director as take it in mic take
because we did so many takes with that director. And
I think that that Jess remember when I pushed Jess
in the lake, Well, there's a walk and talk before
that scene. We shot that thirty times. Yeah, yeahs where
(09:57):
your Mercedes win you're in and all on tape. There
was a there's a there's a long walk through the
um through the fake snow and season one that's like
every like all these towns people is probably the it
was probably the fourth episode I did, maybe fourth or
(10:18):
fifth and uh and yeah, that was it was after
midnight and it was and I think we I think
we did over forty takes of that of that shot,
and it was long and all the way through, and
it was like and that fake snow is not that
fake snow is like made of of shredded paper. Finally
(10:39):
shredded paper, which, um, you know, I hope, I hope
it didn't have any long term health Yeah, right, padding
fake snow long. I guys, love you both very much,
love you back. I would love to know what was
(11:01):
the best and worst advice you got when you were
starting out as an actor. Best advice on it for
TV acting is stumble, uh come in talking, which means
no your lines cold. And the worst advice uh hold
(11:26):
that thought. I'll do best advice too, because I also
can't think of worst advice yet. But I think I
think for me, the best advice is prepare your audition
as though you've already gotten the job, um, so that
you're not. I think it's a very very common mistake
for actors to be like, I just tell me what
you want and I'll do that, and they think that
(11:47):
that it's up to somebody else to like to like
let them know how they're supposed to be UM playing
a scene when it's just you got to just kind
of decide and go for it, and then you're either
right for it or you're not. Generally Um take over
the room, flip the psychology. You gotta understand something. If
they're seeing us, you know, they're making offers to names,
(12:11):
and they're not getting callbacks from their big powerful agents
in there piste off, and they don't want to see you.
They're not interested in seeing you. There's twenty of me,
there's forty of me. They don't care. So you gotta
do something to get their attention, you know, And that
that actually I actually did that and it worked. I
(12:33):
got the job. I believe it. And yeah I was
just I had an opening for a good line there.
But but no, He's right, it is you have to
uh it's like it's it's there always has to be
something that's going to to single you out. Although what
I was gonna say is the funny thing is that
a lot of that that advice is obsolete now because
nothing's in the room anymore. Everything's on tape. Everything is
(12:54):
on tape, on tape. All your auditions are on tape.
Which is I'm going to do that on tape. That's funny.
Start your tape with can I have a minute? You
don't ask, you just just turn your back on it.
I should have done that with the Natalie Portman thing.
(13:15):
I would have gotten it. Damn, they're just watching the
room like, is this the last known video of Scott Patterson?
What's happening? Yeah? Hi? What's your name? Hi? Sorry, my
name is Sophia UM. I think you both are really awesome.
But my questions for Scott um with Jess. He was
(13:37):
supposed to get a reboot for his own show. Were
you in any part of that? Would you want to
be in any part of that? If he was able
to get one. I know it was just rumored. This
was like forever ago, but I think after season three
they were thinking about it. When he was in California.
He did. He did get his own show. They filmed
(13:59):
a pie that he did a pilot with Um rob
Estes and it did. It didn't fly. I didn't get
picked up, So then where did it go? I wanted that? Yes, Scott,
let me look, I might be in my wallet. If
(14:22):
Jack Warner a call, will you Scott? It's not in there?
I don't know. I wish it was. That would be
really awesome. But I just I mean, just as top
tier favorites. That's why I was kind of like, that's
a shame and not didn't rupt you, but it's a
shame because he's struggling so much now as an actor.
He can't seem to find any work. He looks like
he's having fun though, That's what matters, right, whatever happened,
(14:44):
I don't know, just poor Milo. Yeah, a few other
actors too. What's the name of the woman who played
Suki God I think I know it was. It was
Martina something McConnelly, Molly McConnelly, right, who, thank you so much,
(15:05):
very very welcome. Like I'm Robert Um. I really love
Give More Worlds. I watched it when I was younger,
watched at least two times now actually, So my question
for Sean as Kirk, what was your favorite role of
doing his job? Like? What job was your pharaoh? You know?
(15:30):
The interesting thing is like in life, my favorite stuff
was when I'm not working, so like I love the
you know, like my favorite all my favorite Kirk episodes
are like the one where where Kirk plays Tavia and
Fiddler on the roof and the one where he's Jesus,
and the Festival of a Living Art and uh, you know,
like searching for the eggs and the I don't know
(15:52):
if any of those are actual jobs, but um, I
did really enjoy uh announcing the hockey game as a job,
only because there's some you know, egotistical part of my
own psyche that believes that I would have been a
really good sports announcer had I put my mountain, had
(16:13):
I put my mind to it, and and I got
to sit down all day at work. So thank you. First,
I wanted to say thank you. I met you yesterday.
I was in a totally different get up, so you
might not recognize me. What did your point to Scott? Hi,
I was a mathematician. You were very nice. I think
(16:35):
Gilmore Girls means a lot to a lot of people,
so I really was grateful that you talked to me.
Uh And congrats on terminal list. That was amazing. Thank you.
But my question is, um, what were the friendships that
you formed on the show. It's a really long show,
imagine a lot of friendships, and what was it like
forming those friendships? Any favorite memories? I mean, my friendship
(16:58):
with Seawan is going in twenty two years now, and uh,
it just keeps getting better and better. You know it's true. Yeah,
and others and you know it's yeah. I mean I
think there's a part of us You're gonna on some level, Um,
(17:18):
you're gonna be sort of friendly with everybody forever, like
if you It's like, there are people I haven't seen
in ten years. But if I saw him and be
oh my god, and you get my hugging and catch
up and see what we see what they're up to.
But yeah, I'm friends with Scott and I'm friends with
um Sebastian Bach, I'd run the other way. He's like, right, um,
(17:43):
and I'm I'm I'm friends now with Amy and Dan
in a way that I wasn't then. Really, I think
they scared me when I was a young actor, and
now I think I think that I know them a
little better. Um Uh. John Cabrero, who's who played Brian,
has been one of my closest friends since college, so
that actually pre dates Gilmore Girls and Keiko and I
(18:06):
are good friends anyway. But you know, I don't know,
it's They're all great. Thank you, Hi, um Sean. I
love your pants They're awesome. Thank you. Um, I just
had a question about I think the there was some
mixed reviews about the ending of Gilmore Girls, and I
wanted to see what your thoughts were, if you liked
(18:28):
the ending, if you wanted it to continue, or how
how you liked where it ended up originally or in
the in the after we did the A year in
the for a year in the Life. You mean, I
don't know, what do you think. I don't like what
(18:48):
they did to Rory. I I can I get a hallelujah, hallellujah.
I think you respect ed herman. You give him half
the first episode two mourn and to go through that process,
and then you do three and a half episodes of
(19:10):
a huge wedding, and I just it's for me. It
was a big missed opportunity to sort of introduce all
of those machinations and shenanigans that would have occurred, uh
the run up to the everybody behind schedule and screwing
up and falling in. I mean, it just would have
been great. Um, And I think the fans really deserve
(19:30):
something that was that on the nose, because Amy and
Dan don't write things that are on the nose. They
they they go big when you expect them to go small,
and vice versa. So that's kind of the beauty of
what they do. One of the aspects of what they do, UM,
that few people do. UM. But I think in that
situation it was warranted because it was just so obvious
(19:53):
what the fans wanted. And I just think that was
the time you got to give the fans what they want.
And maybe they will I don't know eventually. So those
are my two main points. I and I get all.
I Yeah, I don't. I kind of a difficult time
sometimes being sort of uh critical, you know, in the
(20:18):
in the non pejorative sense of the word, like really
being able to sort of judge what when I'm in
something like that when I'm so close to it. Um,
I tend to know by the audience reaction, like if
everybody hates it, it was probably a problem, you know,
Game of Thrones, um. But if but if every and
(20:39):
if everyone likes it, it was it was a good decision,
whether I thought so at the time or not. UM,
I don't know, really, I know I was sort of
felt like the original ending of the series when we
were done in two thousand seven, was so unsatisfying personally
because we weren't even sure it was ending. I mean,
maybe you know, it was like it was like a
(21:01):
half ending where we might do another something, but we
might not, And so they kind of tried to leave
it open ended. Plus Amy and Dan and we're gone
by that point and uh, and so there was something
always unsatisfying about that. And I know that Amy ended
it the way she wanted to end it originally, and uh,
I don't know. I don't I I never really questioned
(21:24):
that too much, so I sort of feel like it was. Um.
I thought the episodes were good, So I don't know.
I don't know what I would have done differently, But
I always believe that's your opinion about that is better
than mine is. Thank you. Hi, my name is Jesse. Um.
I think the real question on everyone's mind is the
(21:46):
one I'm about to ask Dean Logan, Jess, which team
are you on? I don't care. I was expecting Jets.
I am team Rory does not need a man to
(22:07):
define her Sean, I think you should run for office. Yeah, yeah,
the non diplomatic answer, Um, but I would only rate
them by how I actually know. I I don't know,
(22:29):
I thought. I was kind of thought, honestly, if I
did have to choose, I was probably Team Logan. I had.
I had Ted Ted Rooney on who played more brilliantly
played more? I had him on my podcast because I
do a rewatch podcast. If you didn't know on Gilmark
So uh and so one of the questions that I am,
(22:49):
you know, we kind of came up with and they
my heart came up with was you know at the
end it's called rapid fire. And asked him serious question,
do you drink coffee? How many cups? Did? Are your
Team Logan? Jess? So we got to that part of it,
and I asked him about who he preferred to be
the baby daddy, and Ted Rooney's reaction was the funniest
(23:09):
thing I've ever seen. And he just goes, Oh God,
that's gross. Who cares? I love Ted Rooney. We're a
comic com though, so you gotta say the Wookie is
your is your choice for them? Did you have a
fling with a Wookie? Yeah? More gold from the episodes. Hi,
(23:39):
it's nice to meet you both. Um. I have a
question about the year in the life, So, how did
it feel like going back to the Warner Brothers studio.
Did you feel like filming that four episodes like series
was like? Did you feel like you picked up where
you left off? Was that chemistry sold there between everyone
or just how did you process that? I? I thought
(24:03):
it was great. Uh. The diner Luke's Diners specifically, was
really it was like a two point oh version of it.
It was brighter, it was better. The floor was spongey
because the sound department said, make a spongey floor. We're
tired of the squeaks and the cracking and the stuff
wrecking the takes. And it was all just better, you know.
(24:26):
One of the good things about Netflix. And it wasn't
all good, but it was a lot of good. One
of the good things about Netflix coming is they spent
a lot of money on the production UM and the
technology had changed over the years since we last for
their filming, So in nine years or whatever it was UM,
I mean, the camera equipment, all aspects of the of
(24:47):
how you make a film were vastly superior. UM. So
it was really exciting to come back, and yes we did. Uh.
I at least I felt back into the flow u
of the acting with those actors pretty easily. Yeah, it
was wonderful. Yeah, I felt the same way. It was
nice to have a little a little more space to
(25:09):
like to do what we wanted to do. It was like,
you know, we had a little more time, um, which
was which was really cool. I was definitely like from
a personal standpoint, I was I was nervous going back
into it. I was like, I was like, I don't
know if I'm like, I'm not sure where this lives
in my brain. And it was really like the second
(25:31):
take of the first day that I was like, oh,
there's pa Keys right there. There's no it was not
It was not difficult at all. It was like it
was like putting on a pair of slippers that that
you've owned forever, you know, think you both hi? Um So,
(25:51):
my mom and sister like watch Yelmore girls like every
day it feels like anyway, I want to ask what
your favorite cereal is? What's your favorite cereal? Come on?
Come on? Uh? I like those um the Quaker Squares
(26:13):
life No, no, the the actual the Quaker ones, the
Quicker Oat Squares, the little ones, the like, I forget
what they call. I gotta be honest with you. I'm
not a serial guy. I go right through the eggs.
I'm an egg guy. All right, thank you my favorite
bourbon you said, um probably uh hey, Um, I'm Brittany.
(26:39):
My question is so Gilmore girls, I think for probably
a lot of us is are like anxiety show. Sometimes
my husband's like, my gosh, you're watching it again? You okay? Um?
So what would y'all's anxiety show be? Or a movie
if you all have one that you go to to
feel comfortable. If I want to like hill myself out, yeah,
(27:01):
Rick and Morty, Yeah, I love that. Um. Recently it's
been Seinfeld. Okay, very cool, thank you, just full of laughs. Hi.
I'm Caitlin. So my question is for Scott. So a
(27:23):
lot of us are romantics here. So when you and
Lauren had to figure out how to put the chemistry
that you guys have been running around for, you know,
seasons and put that into your episode where you finally
define your relationship, how was that for you? It's just there,
there's no work put into that. That's just the two
(27:44):
personalities coming together and something ignites, something happens, and you
can't it can't be manufactured. It's just it's either there,
it's not you know, one of the great lessons I
learned from acting class in New York was we could
always tell the guy and the girl that was doing
(28:04):
the scene together that slept together because there was no
tension in the scene and we were all like, you know,
bored out of our minds. Um, So I'm not really
trying to imply anything here, gang, but uh, if there's
energy between people that translate naturally without any effort, that
(28:26):
translates onto the screen, you know that camera is a
truth machine. You can't fool it. Thank you, Hiam casey Um.
What was the biggest acting challenge for you in either series,
either comedic or dramatic where you read the script and
you're like, how am I going to do that? I
(28:48):
can say that I remember the one time that I
and I bring it up as my favorite episode, so
I can remember what There's one time I went to
Edward Herman, the Great Great Edward Herman and asked for
his advice, And it was for the episode The Fiddler
in the Roof episode where where Kirk is playing Tavia
and I'm like, and I was like, I had this weird.
(29:11):
I'm like, should I be bad at it? Like the singing?
Like when I have to sing the song. Should I
do it poorly for comedy purposes or just do it
as well as I can? And I'm not a great
singer anyway, so it will be pooring like this just
not like it's like, don't sound like much of a
(29:32):
choice show anither you're bad at it or you're bad
at it. But now I couldn't kind of couldn't really,
I couldn't couldn't really decide what the exact sort of
right way to play that was. And Edward was like, like,
just totally go for it, just completely go for it,
and uh, and he was absolutely right, So that sticks out. Uh,
(29:54):
my experience with that, your question is it was I
don't know. I think the first episode back from it
was episode two, season one at Warner Brothers and it
was six am and Lauren and I were in the
makeup trailer and one of the p a's just dropped
off a new scene hot off the press is just
(30:17):
yeah and you've been there, and it was ten pages,
we're adding this, we're shooting. It's first up, and it
was like, you know, you know, Lauren is all black ink,
It's just chunks of dialogue. And then Luke Michael hoo.
You know, well, I don't know. And then I had
some a couple of chunks, but he she had chunk chunk, chunk,
(30:39):
chunk chunk. The challenge for her is obvious. A challenge
for me was not to screw up her chunks. So
it's all timing, right, So that's the terror when you
have little like who and what what's it? You know,
your timing can be off and it just messes up
their flow. But we did it. We put our heads
together and we did it, and we went and nailed it.
And so from that moment and we knew we could
(31:01):
just do it. I got one more kind of funny one,
which is that there's an episode where Kirk does the
It's in the the Town is It Challenge show or
something where he he does the evolution of man and
he goes through and he does the whole thing, and
I read that is Remember everything in the script is
verbat him all the time, so every every single thing
is mapped out. But in that case, all all it
(31:23):
says is literally just that Kirk, you know, does a
mime that is the evolution of man going from being
a baby to death, and that's all it's said. And
I was like, this is interesting. I wonder, like what
we're gonna do here, and and showing up and like
going to rehearsals that morning for that scene we're gonna
shoot and talking Dan Palladino was directing that episode and saying, okay, Dan,
(31:44):
tell me, like what are you thinking here? What do
you got? And he's just like, I don't know, man,
Just he goes, he goes, just do what you do,
Just do your do your thing. It's like, okay, well,
(32:05):
I know, so now for better or for worse, if
you ever see that scene again, I guess that's my thing.
Thank you. I um My question is was there a
cast member in particular that you knew shooting with them
would take multiple takes or make you break character. He
(32:27):
would make me laugh a lot, and it was sometimes
it was really hard. And when he was in the
hot dog suit, that was a tough scene because it
was just like I think everybody in this scene was
cracking up because it was just such a bizarre um visual,
you know, right from the cat go. So that was tough.
(32:48):
It really is. Honestly, I think it's the scenes with
Scott because we did the like the Kirk's on the
first date and we're doing that and he's given him
advice and they start talking about Duckie and and uh
was it in uh pretty and pink and I don't know.
I just remember like those scenes when you're like if
(33:09):
you're if you're cracking up over and over again, it
gets dumb, it gets like performative, but like you know,
it's right when like the first the first time you
hit the rhythm perfectly, you can't help but like the
laugh because it's like, oh that's it, it's right there,
and uh, those are good feelings for sure. Thank you,
thank you. Hi. Um. Gilmore Girls has an amazing main
(33:33):
cast and then also has some really cool recurring characters,
uh you know, actors and guest stars. Um. And actually
Rob Estes played Jesse's a strange father, and then you
went on his shown two on oh and played someone
he was a surrogate father too. Matt Lantern's characters a
strange father, which I thought was a cool switcher. Um.
(33:57):
My question is if you would, through hair and makeup magic,
play any of the recurring characters or guest stars that
came on Gilmar Girls. Um, who would you want to play?
I think you just blew their minds. It's to me,
I'm area. That is a rare example of both a
(34:25):
good question and one I have not gotten before. Or
what's your favorite bourbon Jamison? Probably not Michael Winters because
he was too close to Luke, you know, he was
kind of Lukey. I think I think Rory because she
(34:55):
was so completely vulnerable and sweet, and she threw a
all of her lines away in such a way that
it was almost instructive because she had no acting experience,
so she had, you know, she brought a very fresh
approach to her work and I always admired that, Um,
the simplicity and and but it was also very rich
(35:19):
what she did. And she never pushed, you know, she
just never pushed. UM. So I think I would like
to try because it would be an interesting dynamic with Lauren.
You I want to be your boyfriend anymore, I want
to be your daughter. Speaking of kid Thrones, I read
(35:40):
too much ancient history. UM, you know what, I would
probably choose Paris because because I feel pretty well suited
for the character that I played, and Paris is probably
the most lateral move from from character. She's like the
She's more like a sort of mail counterpart in her
(36:02):
her weirdness and how how much anxiety she feels over
tiny little things. Um and uh, and I think that
would be a lot of fun. Thank you, Hi, I'm Sam.
I have a question for Scott. But first I wanted
to say, Sean, I absolutely love what Kirk, what you
bring to the show. I feel like it just it
(36:24):
just makes it so Yeah, I really I just wanted
to say that. But Scott, I wanted to know, specifically
on the first kiss scene with Lorla, how many takes
did it take you to film that? And was because
it was so perfectly done between the two of you
and the bands are back and forth of like would
(36:44):
you just stand still? And then would you just stand still?
So how many takes did it take to do that? Well?
I I purposely blew a lot of takes because you know, yeah, yeah,
was it awkward at all? Uh? You know, you know, honestly,
(37:08):
it wasn't awkward, but we knew it was the It
was gonna be a huge moment for us, maybe the
biggest moment thus far, obviously, and we were both very
nervous because we wanted to get it right, you know,
we really really wanted to get it right, because if
you if you screw that one up, you know that's
(37:28):
there's there's no coming back from that. So we really
and and and you could hear a pin drop on
this set and it was just it was it was
filled with energy electricity. That scene. Yeah, well you nailed it,
So thank you for that's had a lot of practice.
Hi um, I'm sure you guys have gotten this question
(37:51):
a lot before. But well, first off, you've both watched
the show full through or I I never watched the show,
and I have a podcast now where I'm watching the
show for the first time and then we're breaking down
the episodes. I never watched a show. I made the sausage.
I didn't want to eat it. I'm I mostly watched
(38:15):
I I would say I watched the show in general,
and I always watching my own stuff, which a lot
of actors don't. But I'm like, I like want to
break down what I did and I'm maning acting. So
then what were you team Luke or team Christopher Luke?
(38:46):
Luke Luke Luke. That was my favorite reaction time. I
was I'm a little I'm almost appalled that you even asked.
Thank you. I am kelln and um just piggyback off
(39:06):
her a little bit. I watched with my mom and
my brother, who were wrongly team Christopher while I was
Team Luke. So people can just bow for them. But
I have a very generic question. Did you take anything
from set? And if so, what was it. I took
a great deal. You deserved it. I feel that I did.
(39:30):
It was a negotiating tactic. I was going to hold
it hostage for more money per episode, and it worked out.
Actually it was a bridge midnight. There was an exchange,
you know. Yeah, No, I I too. You know, my chair,
the back of my chair, if that's the only thing
I ever take from Did they let you take things
(39:50):
from your work? Um? I have a lot of analyst
and I take like a lot of our office supplies.
Fair enough, Yeah, okay, yeah socks, that's my whole. Like
I'm that's about as as bold as I get, as
i'll as i'll. I'll leave my old sox and take
the new ones that Wardrobe gave for me. That's about
(40:11):
as far as I can go. Otherwise I feel like
I'm gonna get in trouble. Thank you both. Did you
have a lot of fun working with your daughter Gi
and the tog and Poole when you were supposed to
marry Lauren? What what was that light where you upset
(40:35):
that it took so long for you to marry her? No,
I think it contributed to building the tension for the
show over those four seasons that it took. I don't think,
you know, you give the audience what they think they
want and then they don't come back. But so you
(40:56):
gotta milk that. So that's that's good. That was a
good thing. You know, I would have milked it for
another couple of seasons, you know, yeah, why not? Right? Um?
But g was that my daughter's name in the show
was nickname. Uh So the question was did I like
having a daughter? I know, I loved her. She was
(41:21):
such a pro and she was so classy, and she
was so smart precocious. I geah, I think she is.
And her sister got a record deal as a teena three,
like a thirteen year old with Warner Brothers Records and
made some albums and you know, that's a very talented family.
Very I love her, and I know the fans had
an odd reaction to her. They didn't, you know, like
(41:44):
how Luke was and what it made him do and
act like towards Laurela and the withholding of it and
all that. But I loved working with her. I thought
it gave him another dimension and I really liked it.
Her name was April. Oh, so I'm gonna stick with
that answer. April. That's right. I was like, that is
(42:06):
not bringing a bell. I did pretty good, though, didn't
I Hi, This question isn't really related to um Gilmore Girls,
but um, Sean Gun, you play the physical embodiment of
Rocket in the m c U. What's that like? Uhuh,
it's probably for another panel, but I uh, it's um
(42:30):
it's a very unusual job. It ended up being the
next sort of you know, I I don't know how
to describe that. I'm I'm a very physical actor. That's
where I can make the segue from from Gilmore Girls
Too to doing Rocket is that I've always been I'm
very limber, and I very and I hopefully you know,
(42:51):
I used my body as expressively as I can, partially
because I was born with such a strange body. And
uh and you know, um, and I've always loved doing
physical comedy, and then when it came time to do Rocket,
it was like to put me on the I just
got down on my hands and knees and started doing
it from a crouch position. And now you know, now
(43:14):
I've done six movies. Is rocket and it's uh and
it's a it's a hell of a job. Thank you,
Thank you. All Right, we got about five more minutes,
so we're gonna try and do is. See, we can't
rapid fire through as many as we can, so I
apologize that we can't get to your question. But if
we don't, like I said, they have booths, you guys
can come and get your answers personally there. Okay, all right,
let's start. Um So this is actually for him again
(43:38):
because he wanted to ask two questions. But um, as Kraiglin,
when you were playing in Um Door Love and Thunder,
you married a woman you just met. How's that going good?
All right? Thank you for your question. Hi, my name
(43:59):
is Michelle, and this question is more for Scott Cushn.
You kind of already answered it for the revival. You
kind of gave it a thumbs down. What do you
think they could have done differently? Well, like I said,
you know, honor ed and his passing and all he
meant to that show. Give it a half to a
full episode and then the other three or three and
a half to a big wedding. I don't know. I
(44:22):
don't know, I don't know. I don't thank you. Okay,
So I've been watching the show since I was five
and it's really helped me grow. My question is, UM,
if the characters were cast two different actors, do you
think the show would have gone differently or do you
(44:43):
think no big failure, huge failure? First episode canceled by Hi,
my name is Isabella. UM. I kind of grew up
watching you guys as well. My grandma has the biggest
crush on you, like on Scott Um. My question is,
even like before um filmmaker roles, what was your first
(45:05):
impressions on like what did you think, like how it
would go? If that makes sense. As soon as I
walked into the room and met Amy and Leslie, Lincoln
Gladder who was directing the pilot, and Gavin Polone, I
felt like I had finally, honestly finally walked into the
right room. Because when you walk into rooms a lot
(45:28):
and there used to be a designated pilot season back then,
where it was just a specific amount of time during
the year where they cast pilots. You walk into a
lot of rooms and you don't feel comfortable and they're
not the right people, so that just means it's a
gut reaction. But with Amy and Gavin and and Leslie,
it was the right room, so I knew it was
I kind of almost instinctively knew it was going to
(45:50):
work out. Yeah, Gimba girls. Well, when I auditioned, I
was auditioning for a coast, a one day co star
role to play DSL installer um and I um My.
My agent at the time wanted me to pass on
the audition and not go because they because they thought, no,
(46:11):
you're only doing guest stars. Now, you're not doing co
stars anymore. And my but my manager was friends with
Mark Casey, one of the one of the casting directors,
and said, let's do this favor from R and going
and read the thing. I'm like, I'm like, I'm not
too good, Like I'm still struggling actor and I'm like,
I'm not too good for anything. Let me read the scene.
If I like the scene, I'll go in and read.
If it's if I'm saying, you know, can I get
(46:33):
your cup of coffee and leaving then I won't do it.
And I and I read the scene, I'm like, oh,
this is funny, and I understand this material. This is
like old old school comedy. This is like pressent sturge is.
It's like, I know exactly how this should work, and
uh and and it is one of the auditions that
I I went in and read and read and did
(46:53):
the scene and I just it was right there. Like
when I walked out, I was like, you guys can
go home. I just booked that role. I was there
when he came out of the room and I went home.
Thank you. Hi. My name is Amber, And I'm just wondering,
what's the most awkward or hilarious fan interaction you've ever had,
(47:17):
if you're legally allowed to share it. There was somebody
waiting when I bought a house. Finally, in two thousand
and three, I left my little rent controlled studio apartment
that was five and fifty a month for all you know,
with it included everything, and I just I wasn't leaving.
(47:38):
But my accountant said, well, do you want to write
this amount of money to the I R S? Or
do you want to own a house and get the deductions?
I said, up by a house. So I bought this
house and it had of this breezeway had it was
gated head of breezeway. It's very private. And coming home
from work one night there was a German girl who
was asleep in my breeze way. Um, and she found
(47:58):
out obviously where I lived. And you know, I I
woke her up and I said, are you okay? And
what's going on? And she started speaking to me. I
mean all Germans, most Germans learned English growing up, so
she spoke English and she said, oh, look, look, look look,
And I said, listen, this is I'm not going to
call the police and it's not you know, just don't
do this. This is my private home. Um um. And
(48:21):
then I said, but do you Mike Schnitzel, come on it. No, no,
I uh but so she laughed and you know that
that was probably the most awkward, strange encounter I've had
so far. They're usually very very pleasant encounters. They're all great,
you know, thank you mine is um. One of the
(48:42):
first conventions I did after the after UH Guardians, I
was with Michael Rooker and a young woman. UM. Yeah,
you know, I'm I'm I'm sorry. UM. Anyway, but this
this young woman, UM had rooker and I signed her
arm and then she came back the next day and
(49:05):
I had our signature's tattooed on her arm. Okay, did
you have a German accent? Oh? Yeah, thank you, thank you.
All right, there's no pressure. But this is unfortunately has
to be our final question. But we can do it.
We'll doing fast. We'll doing fast, real fast, real fast,
real fast. Scott, you've been able to play a lot
(49:25):
of different roles, not only a romantic lead here on
More Girls, but you've been a cop on the Sol series.
You've had all these different roles and somehow you've managed
to not be typecast. And how in the world did
you pull it off? Um? I don't know. I just
I just played the role that I'm given and I
try to make it real. Answer is talent. Next you
(49:53):
can do this? Hi, guys, my name's Will. A question
for both of you. What was it like working with
ed Herman and Kelly Bishop where they like very demanding
or um, especially when she was girling loop? What was
that like? They're both geniuses? Seriously, I mean I don't
think I like, right? Is there anything else to say
(50:13):
the first time I worked was working with that, I
was nervous and I don't get nervous, and it was like,
I'm working with a legend today at a golf course
and that was really cool. Yeah, that's great. Next, Hi,
I'm Sammy. Um I my rush is for both of you.
I guess Go More Girls has always been a comfort
show to me, which I think a couple of people
have said, and I think one of the reasons is
(50:34):
such a comfort show for people is the sense of
community because of the like large cast of consistent, like
smaller characters. I guess that feels very much like a family. Um.
But that's kind of controversial in real life because people, so,
would you ever want to live in a small town
like that where everyone actually like knows your business and
(50:56):
involved in everything, or would you actually hate to live
somewhere like that in real life? I would like it, actually,
But the thing that appeals to me most is just
first of all, being able to walk everywhere and um
and just knowing my neighbors. It doesn't mean I want
him in my business, but like the sense that you
have an extended family beyond your own home to the
(51:17):
people that are in your vicinity is something that is
appealing to me. Yeah, Scott agrees. Next, Hey, fellas my
question here. I talked about the fact that you came
in on that one episode, but you had another role
before you find ended up with Kirk. Can you talked
(51:38):
talked to us a little bit about that. It really
was just a matter of Amy forgot that she gave
my character a name and that first episode because in
the script he was DSL Installer and so she thought, oh,
this character doesn't have a name yet, and then a
few episodes later she had him introduce himself as kirk Um.
But what about Swan guy, Right, it's the same thing,
(51:59):
so Swan guy. So it was DSL installer, and then
it was Swan delivery guy. And then I did the
episode where where I was Kirk, and in Amy's mind,
she just hadn't given the character a name yet, and
then gave him the name of Kirk, not knowing that
I had introduced myself as Mick in the first episode.
To me, I was, I was. I thought I would
(52:19):
like playing sort of the same character, but not exactly,
like it's some weird you know, like uh interterimensional like
uh multiverse thing or something like that. Like I didn't know,
and I was too afraid to ask, so I just
like I was like, Okay, I'm just gonna roll with it.
And but you can see Kirk changes a little over
the course of those first few episodes as I was
(52:42):
kind of figuring it out. He doesn't really become really
Kirk until about episode like three or four. Yeah, all right,
thank you, thank you very much. I don't think there's
anywhere else to say you definitely yeah, your answers right here.
They they're definitely happy to see you. Thank you so much.

Hey everybody, Scott Patterson, I am all in podcast. We
(00:02):
are going to run a panel discussion that I had
with Sean Gunn at the Galaxy con convention in Raleigh,
North Carolina a little while ago, and I hope you
enjoy it. Hello, that's kiss you. I am all in
(00:32):
with Scott Patterson and I Hurt Radio podcast. Ladies and gentlemen,
Sean gun Scott Patterson. But come we're guys y. Hi everybody. Hi, Hello, gentlemen.
(01:00):
How has your weekend been so far? It's busy, We're busy.
Good to be in uh Raleigh, Durham, that's for sure.
It's been forty one year since I've been in Durham.
I was a former Durham bulle and it's nice to
be back and see all these smiling faces. That's cool. Yeah,
I like being here. I was at a convention here
(01:23):
like five like six years ago, maybe five or six
years ago, um, and haven't been back since. But it's wonderful. Um.
I just got in. I can't wait to explore the
city a little more. But it's been great, awesome. Wait,
we're happy to have you guys. Uh. So we'll kind
of get into it. We kind of have to. That's
(01:44):
the whole point of this um Gilmore Girls cult phenomenon
that spans gender age. It's just it's like the show
that just tapped into a vein that television I think
almost didn't really expect. Um. Did you guys know that
right off the page? Did it come to you? Was
that a parent? Yeah? It was unusually um, you know,
(02:09):
I don't refer to it as sticky. You know, Amy
grew up with a father who was a stand up comic,
and she had all of these legends in her living room,
Don Rickles and Dom DeLuise and all the leading comedians
of the day. So and and extends itself into Mazel
where the character is it's like, get over it already.
(02:32):
Amy write a show about a stand up comic that's
a woman, and she did in Gilmore Girls too, because
Laurela is basically a stand up comic. Because and and
a lot of other people on the show, Sean being
one of them, uh and one of the finest physical
comedians that I've seen, um and unsung, and that aggravates me,
(02:57):
which is why I have a podcast. And uh, here's
a secret. I asked Seawan to be my co host.
But he was, he's so busy being a movie star
he can't do it, and God bless him, God bless him. Um.
But I think I think that's unique in any type
of uh television endeavor where the lead character is just
(03:19):
doing joke after joke after joke after to joke after
joke and it kind of makes sense, you know, it's
not too far afield. So I think that's the secret
power of the show, amongst all the other obvious reasons. Um,
But to put it in a sort of uh, you know,
a sort of a family drama of that kind of
depth and power and meaning, and especially in a Daniel
(03:41):
Palladino written episode, I'm finding a pattern where it's everything
is light and funny and charming, and then at the
end there's a heavy moment um and he really just
rips your heart out with it. So I just think
the writing is unusually uh um powerful, but it's but
you get to enjoy this all these great jokes. So
(04:04):
I think that's the uniqueness of it. Yeah, I that's
interesting calling Lorelia a stand up. It's true, there's it
really is. There's just a lot there's a large element
of that, um, you know, Scott was with the show
from the the very very top, and I came in
a little bit later. I was on the first episode
after the pilot. Um and uh. And I didn't know.
(04:27):
I didn't know anything about the show and I had
no idea whether it would be successful or not. I
think if you ask me then I probably would have
guessed no. Um, but I don't. But not because of
but but but partially just because I didn't. I didn't
quite see where it fit, you know. And it was like, um,
(04:49):
like you can tell by when they were award nominations
in the first year, it was up for comedy and
then they changed it to drama or something like that,
and like the and and and it was like, oh,
this show doesn't know exactly what it is, which I
thought at the time might hurt it. But it turns out,
and we've seen this in television, that audience has had
much more of a taste for that than people knew.
(05:09):
So that turned out to be actually one of the
big strengths of the show, that it that it was
that it did both, that it really was you know,
as you were just talking about it would be funny
and then heavy and it would kind of go back
and forth, but um, but I really the thing is
is that you know, great writing will always shine through,
(05:31):
it will always rise to the rise to the surface
and and make something really good and this and the
writing on the show is terrific, so um so looking back,
I think, I think me now would read it and say, oh,
this is a surefire hit because the writing is great
and that's really all you need. Um. But it's been
a hell of a ride when I just um, elaborate
(05:55):
a little bit, um and I know we have other questions.
But when I got on this set for the first
time in Toronto, in Unionville, where we shot the pilot,
I went a little bit early because I wanted to
sort of check out Luke's Diner and what it was
going to be all about, and spent a little time
in it, and Lauren and Alexis were sitting there rehearsing
a scene in the diner, and the chemistry between them
(06:16):
was so good and so easy and so free that
I thought, boy, this is this, This might be something,
you know. And then I remember having a conversation with Lauren.
Amy would have a Christmas party every year at our
house is massive palitial estate. Um, And I remember having
a conversation with with Lauren at that party, you know,
(06:37):
what do you think it's how long you think it's
gonna go? And we both kind of agreed that it
would we would go at least five years. So that
was my gut reaction that it was gonna We're gonna
get over a hundred episodes. We're gonna get the cake.
See the executives come out of their suits and give
you a cake. If you get a hundred episodes, you know,
it's like congratulations for your hundred episodes, you know, because
(06:58):
so few get two hundred episode odes um and and
so our show amazingly paid for all of their duds.
They lost money on um UM, but very grateful to
be a part of it. Um. But yeah, I thought
it would go about five I remember at the time
that Will and Grace had gone a hundred episodes and
(07:19):
all of the all of the actors on the show
got mercedes to celebrate like that. The network gave them
as a gift, gave them mercedes, and I'm like, I
wonder what we're gonna get and I think I got
an actual tote bag. Oh w B. I mean they
(07:41):
didn't they just didn't have the budget, you know, God
bless even a bracelet like a cubic zirconium or something
and a picture of a car. Yeah right, yeah, Uh,
well looks like we actually have a question. Let's go
ahead and go ahead and see we have what's your name? Naomi?
(08:02):
And I'm enjoying it for a second time watching this
show with my daughter who was fourteen, So it's a
lot of fun for me. But to piggyback on what
you were saying, the banter of the episode is fast paced.
How often oh I started a line? Now, how many
takes would it take to get through a typical scene? Uh?
(08:25):
It varied, but you know, we we had to do
a lot of takes because it was Um. First of all,
we shot right next to an airport, um and often
outside Uh we're right right by Burbank Airport, which is funny.
But also, you know, the pattern and the rhythm of
the show is very specific and every thing had to
(08:49):
be verbatim. Uh and so and if it wasn't, we
would do it again. Um. And it's in the moment
it feels, you know, when you're working really long hours
and whatever, it can be like damn it really you know, Um,
but but it it. But when you see it in retrospect,
it had to be that way like it had. The
(09:11):
show had to work the way that it that it worked.
It's like a it's like a the Rupe Goldberg machine
or something like that. I was gonna say, it's a
precision machine. Yeah, it absolutely, Yeah, And so sometimes it
would take a lot, it would it would take a
long time, but we generally knew our lines, so it
was all right. We had one director who will remain nameless,
(09:33):
who was very good director, really knew where to put
the camera, which is half the battle um. And we
referred to that director as take it in mic take
because we did so many takes with that director. And
I think that that Jess remember when I pushed Jess
in the lake, Well, there's a walk and talk before
that scene. We shot that thirty times. Yeah, yeahs where
(09:57):
your Mercedes win you're in and all on tape. There
was a there's a there's a long walk through the
um through the fake snow and season one that's like
every like all these towns people is probably the it
was probably the fourth episode I did, maybe fourth or
(10:18):
fifth and uh and yeah, that was it was after
midnight and it was and I think we I think
we did over forty takes of that of that shot,
and it was long and all the way through, and
it was like and that fake snow is not that
fake snow is like made of of shredded paper. Finally
(10:39):
shredded paper, which, um, you know, I hope, I hope
it didn't have any long term health Yeah, right, padding
fake snow long. I guys, love you both very much,
love you back. I would love to know what was
(11:01):
the best and worst advice you got when you were
starting out as an actor. Best advice on it for
TV acting is stumble, uh come in talking, which means
no your lines cold. And the worst advice uh hold
(11:26):
that thought. I'll do best advice too, because I also
can't think of worst advice yet. But I think I
think for me, the best advice is prepare your audition
as though you've already gotten the job, um, so that
you're not. I think it's a very very common mistake
for actors to be like, I just tell me what
you want and I'll do that, and they think that
(11:47):
that it's up to somebody else to like to like
let them know how they're supposed to be UM playing
a scene when it's just you got to just kind
of decide and go for it, and then you're either
right for it or you're not. Generally Um take over
the room, flip the psychology. You gotta understand something. If
they're seeing us, you know, they're making offers to names,
(12:11):
and they're not getting callbacks from their big powerful agents
in there piste off, and they don't want to see you.
They're not interested in seeing you. There's twenty of me,
there's forty of me. They don't care. So you gotta
do something to get their attention, you know, And that
that actually I actually did that and it worked. I
(12:33):
got the job. I believe it. And yeah I was
just I had an opening for a good line there.
But but no, He's right, it is you have to
uh it's like it's it's there always has to be
something that's going to to single you out. Although what
I was gonna say is the funny thing is that
a lot of that that advice is obsolete now because
nothing's in the room anymore. Everything's on tape. Everything is
(12:54):
on tape, on tape. All your auditions are on tape.
Which is I'm going to do that on tape. That's funny.
Start your tape with can I have a minute? You
don't ask, you just just turn your back on it.
I should have done that with the Natalie Portman thing.
(13:15):
I would have gotten it. Damn, they're just watching the
room like, is this the last known video of Scott Patterson?
What's happening? Yeah? Hi? What's your name? Hi? Sorry, my
name is Sophia UM. I think you both are really awesome.
But my questions for Scott um with Jess. He was
(13:37):
supposed to get a reboot for his own show. Were
you in any part of that? Would you want to
be in any part of that? If he was able
to get one. I know it was just rumored. This
was like forever ago, but I think after season three
they were thinking about it. When he was in California.
He did. He did get his own show. They filmed
(13:59):
a pie that he did a pilot with Um rob
Estes and it did. It didn't fly. I didn't get
picked up, So then where did it go? I wanted that? Yes, Scott,
let me look, I might be in my wallet. If
(14:22):
Jack Warner a call, will you Scott? It's not in there?
I don't know. I wish it was. That would be
really awesome. But I just I mean, just as top
tier favorites. That's why I was kind of like, that's
a shame and not didn't rupt you, but it's a
shame because he's struggling so much now as an actor.
He can't seem to find any work. He looks like
he's having fun though, That's what matters, right, whatever happened,
(14:44):
I don't know, just poor Milo. Yeah, a few other
actors too. What's the name of the woman who played
Suki God I think I know it was. It was
Martina something McConnelly, Molly McConnelly, right, who, thank you so much,
(15:05):
very very welcome. Like I'm Robert Um. I really love
Give More Worlds. I watched it when I was younger,
watched at least two times now actually, So my question
for Sean as Kirk, what was your favorite role of
doing his job? Like? What job was your pharaoh? You know?
(15:30):
The interesting thing is like in life, my favorite stuff
was when I'm not working, so like I love the
you know, like my favorite all my favorite Kirk episodes
are like the one where where Kirk plays Tavia and
Fiddler on the roof and the one where he's Jesus,
and the Festival of a Living Art and uh, you know,
like searching for the eggs and the I don't know
(15:52):
if any of those are actual jobs, but um, I
did really enjoy uh announcing the hockey game as a job,
only because there's some you know, egotistical part of my
own psyche that believes that I would have been a
really good sports announcer had I put my mountain, had
(16:13):
I put my mind to it, and and I got
to sit down all day at work. So thank you. First,
I wanted to say thank you. I met you yesterday.
I was in a totally different get up, so you
might not recognize me. What did your point to Scott? Hi,
I was a mathematician. You were very nice. I think
(16:35):
Gilmore Girls means a lot to a lot of people,
so I really was grateful that you talked to me.
Uh And congrats on terminal list. That was amazing. Thank you.
But my question is, um, what were the friendships that
you formed on the show. It's a really long show,
imagine a lot of friendships, and what was it like
forming those friendships? Any favorite memories? I mean, my friendship
(16:58):
with Seawan is going in twenty two years now, and uh,
it just keeps getting better and better. You know it's true. Yeah,
and others and you know it's yeah. I mean I
think there's a part of us You're gonna on some level, Um,
(17:18):
you're gonna be sort of friendly with everybody forever, like
if you It's like, there are people I haven't seen
in ten years. But if I saw him and be
oh my god, and you get my hugging and catch
up and see what we see what they're up to.
But yeah, I'm friends with Scott and I'm friends with
um Sebastian Bach, I'd run the other way. He's like, right, um,
(17:43):
and I'm I'm I'm friends now with Amy and Dan
in a way that I wasn't then. Really, I think
they scared me when I was a young actor, and
now I think I think that I know them a
little better. Um Uh. John Cabrero, who's who played Brian,
has been one of my closest friends since college, so
that actually pre dates Gilmore Girls and Keiko and I
(18:06):
are good friends anyway. But you know, I don't know,
it's They're all great. Thank you, Hi, um Sean. I
love your pants They're awesome. Thank you. Um, I just
had a question about I think the there was some
mixed reviews about the ending of Gilmore Girls, and I
wanted to see what your thoughts were, if you liked
(18:28):
the ending, if you wanted it to continue, or how
how you liked where it ended up originally or in
the in the after we did the A year in
the for a year in the Life. You mean, I
don't know, what do you think. I don't like what
(18:48):
they did to Rory. I I can I get a hallelujah, hallellujah.
I think you respect ed herman. You give him half
the first episode two mourn and to go through that process,
and then you do three and a half episodes of
(19:10):
a huge wedding, and I just it's for me. It
was a big missed opportunity to sort of introduce all
of those machinations and shenanigans that would have occurred, uh
the run up to the everybody behind schedule and screwing
up and falling in. I mean, it just would have
been great. Um, And I think the fans really deserve
(19:30):
something that was that on the nose, because Amy and
Dan don't write things that are on the nose. They
they they go big when you expect them to go small,
and vice versa. So that's kind of the beauty of
what they do. One of the aspects of what they do, UM,
that few people do. UM. But I think in that
situation it was warranted because it was just so obvious
(19:53):
what the fans wanted. And I just think that was
the time you got to give the fans what they want.
And maybe they will I don't know eventually. So those
are my two main points. I and I get all.
I Yeah, I don't. I kind of a difficult time
sometimes being sort of uh critical, you know, in the
(20:18):
in the non pejorative sense of the word, like really
being able to sort of judge what when I'm in
something like that when I'm so close to it. Um,
I tend to know by the audience reaction, like if
everybody hates it, it was probably a problem, you know,
Game of Thrones, um. But if but if every and
(20:39):
if everyone likes it, it was it was a good decision,
whether I thought so at the time or not. UM,
I don't know, really, I know I was sort of
felt like the original ending of the series when we
were done in two thousand seven, was so unsatisfying personally
because we weren't even sure it was ending. I mean,
maybe you know, it was like it was like a
(21:01):
half ending where we might do another something, but we
might not, And so they kind of tried to leave
it open ended. Plus Amy and Dan and we're gone
by that point and uh, and so there was something
always unsatisfying about that. And I know that Amy ended
it the way she wanted to end it originally, and uh,
I don't know. I don't I I never really questioned
(21:24):
that too much, so I sort of feel like it was. Um.
I thought the episodes were good, So I don't know.
I don't know what I would have done differently, But
I always believe that's your opinion about that is better
than mine is. Thank you. Hi, my name is Jesse. Um.
I think the real question on everyone's mind is the
(21:46):
one I'm about to ask Dean Logan, Jess, which team
are you on? I don't care. I was expecting Jets.
I am team Rory does not need a man to
(22:07):
define her Sean, I think you should run for office. Yeah, yeah,
the non diplomatic answer, Um, but I would only rate
them by how I actually know. I I don't know,
(22:29):
I thought. I was kind of thought, honestly, if I
did have to choose, I was probably Team Logan. I had.
I had Ted Ted Rooney on who played more brilliantly
played more? I had him on my podcast because I
do a rewatch podcast. If you didn't know on Gilmark
So uh and so one of the questions that I am,
(22:49):
you know, we kind of came up with and they
my heart came up with was you know at the
end it's called rapid fire. And asked him serious question,
do you drink coffee? How many cups? Did? Are your
Team Logan? Jess? So we got to that part of it,
and I asked him about who he preferred to be
the baby daddy, and Ted Rooney's reaction was the funniest
(23:09):
thing I've ever seen. And he just goes, Oh God,
that's gross. Who cares? I love Ted Rooney. We're a
comic com though, so you gotta say the Wookie is
your is your choice for them? Did you have a
fling with a Wookie? Yeah? More gold from the episodes. Hi,
(23:39):
it's nice to meet you both. Um. I have a
question about the year in the life, So, how did
it feel like going back to the Warner Brothers studio.
Did you feel like filming that four episodes like series
was like? Did you feel like you picked up where
you left off? Was that chemistry sold there between everyone
or just how did you process that? I? I thought
(24:03):
it was great. Uh. The diner Luke's Diners specifically, was
really it was like a two point oh version of it.
It was brighter, it was better. The floor was spongey
because the sound department said, make a spongey floor. We're
tired of the squeaks and the cracking and the stuff
wrecking the takes. And it was all just better, you know.
(24:26):
One of the good things about Netflix. And it wasn't
all good, but it was a lot of good. One
of the good things about Netflix coming is they spent
a lot of money on the production UM and the
technology had changed over the years since we last for
their filming, So in nine years or whatever it was UM,
I mean, the camera equipment, all aspects of the of
(24:47):
how you make a film were vastly superior. UM. So
it was really exciting to come back, and yes we did. Uh.
I at least I felt back into the flow u
of the acting with those actors pretty easily. Yeah, it
was wonderful. Yeah, I felt the same way. It was
nice to have a little a little more space to
(25:09):
like to do what we wanted to do. It was like,
you know, we had a little more time, um, which
was which was really cool. I was definitely like from
a personal standpoint, I was I was nervous going back
into it. I was like, I was like, I don't
know if I'm like, I'm not sure where this lives
in my brain. And it was really like the second
(25:31):
take of the first day that I was like, oh,
there's pa Keys right there. There's no it was not
It was not difficult at all. It was like it
was like putting on a pair of slippers that that
you've owned forever, you know, think you both hi? Um So,
(25:51):
my mom and sister like watch Yelmore girls like every
day it feels like anyway, I want to ask what
your favorite cereal is? What's your favorite cereal? Come on?
Come on? Uh? I like those um the Quaker Squares
(26:13):
life No, no, the the actual the Quaker ones, the
Quicker Oat Squares, the little ones, the like, I forget
what they call. I gotta be honest with you. I'm
not a serial guy. I go right through the eggs.
I'm an egg guy. All right, thank you my favorite
bourbon you said, um probably uh hey, Um, I'm Brittany.
(26:39):
My question is so Gilmore girls, I think for probably
a lot of us is are like anxiety show. Sometimes
my husband's like, my gosh, you're watching it again? You okay? Um?
So what would y'all's anxiety show be? Or a movie
if you all have one that you go to to
feel comfortable. If I want to like hill myself out, yeah,
(27:01):
Rick and Morty, Yeah, I love that. Um. Recently it's
been Seinfeld. Okay, very cool, thank you, just full of laughs. Hi.
I'm Caitlin. So my question is for Scott. So a
(27:23):
lot of us are romantics here. So when you and
Lauren had to figure out how to put the chemistry
that you guys have been running around for, you know,
seasons and put that into your episode where you finally
define your relationship, how was that for you? It's just there,
there's no work put into that. That's just the two
(27:44):
personalities coming together and something ignites, something happens, and you
can't it can't be manufactured. It's just it's either there,
it's not you know, one of the great lessons I
learned from acting class in New York was we could
always tell the guy and the girl that was doing
(28:04):
the scene together that slept together because there was no
tension in the scene and we were all like, you know,
bored out of our minds. Um, So I'm not really
trying to imply anything here, gang, but uh, if there's
energy between people that translate naturally without any effort, that
(28:26):
translates onto the screen, you know that camera is a
truth machine. You can't fool it. Thank you, Hiam casey Um.
What was the biggest acting challenge for you in either series,
either comedic or dramatic where you read the script and
you're like, how am I going to do that? I
(28:48):
can say that I remember the one time that I
and I bring it up as my favorite episode, so
I can remember what There's one time I went to
Edward Herman, the Great Great Edward Herman and asked for
his advice, And it was for the episode The Fiddler
in the Roof episode where where Kirk is playing Tavia
and I'm like, and I was like, I had this weird.
(29:11):
I'm like, should I be bad at it? Like the singing?
Like when I have to sing the song. Should I
do it poorly for comedy purposes or just do it
as well as I can? And I'm not a great
singer anyway, so it will be pooring like this just
not like it's like, don't sound like much of a
(29:32):
choice show anither you're bad at it or you're bad
at it. But now I couldn't kind of couldn't really,
I couldn't couldn't really decide what the exact sort of
right way to play that was. And Edward was like, like,
just totally go for it, just completely go for it,
and uh, and he was absolutely right, So that sticks out. Uh,
(29:54):
my experience with that, your question is it was I
don't know. I think the first episode back from it
was episode two, season one at Warner Brothers and it
was six am and Lauren and I were in the
makeup trailer and one of the p a's just dropped
off a new scene hot off the press is just
(30:17):
yeah and you've been there, and it was ten pages,
we're adding this, we're shooting. It's first up, and it
was like, you know, you know, Lauren is all black ink,
It's just chunks of dialogue. And then Luke Michael hoo.
You know, well, I don't know. And then I had
some a couple of chunks, but he she had chunk chunk, chunk,
(30:39):
chunk chunk. The challenge for her is obvious. A challenge
for me was not to screw up her chunks. So
it's all timing, right, So that's the terror when you
have little like who and what what's it? You know,
your timing can be off and it just messes up
their flow. But we did it. We put our heads
together and we did it, and we went and nailed it.
And so from that moment and we knew we could
(31:01):
just do it. I got one more kind of funny one,
which is that there's an episode where Kirk does the
It's in the the Town is It Challenge show or
something where he he does the evolution of man and
he goes through and he does the whole thing, and
I read that is Remember everything in the script is
verbat him all the time, so every every single thing
is mapped out. But in that case, all all it
(31:23):
says is literally just that Kirk, you know, does a
mime that is the evolution of man going from being
a baby to death, and that's all it's said. And
I was like, this is interesting. I wonder, like what
we're gonna do here, and and showing up and like
going to rehearsals that morning for that scene we're gonna
shoot and talking Dan Palladino was directing that episode and saying, okay, Dan,
(31:44):
tell me, like what are you thinking here? What do
you got? And he's just like, I don't know, man,
Just he goes, he goes, just do what you do,
Just do your do your thing. It's like, okay, well,
(32:05):
I know, so now for better or for worse, if
you ever see that scene again, I guess that's my thing.
Thank you. I um My question is was there a
cast member in particular that you knew shooting with them
would take multiple takes or make you break character. He
(32:27):
would make me laugh a lot, and it was sometimes
it was really hard. And when he was in the
hot dog suit, that was a tough scene because it
was just like I think everybody in this scene was
cracking up because it was just such a bizarre um visual,
you know, right from the cat go. So that was tough.
(32:48):
It really is. Honestly, I think it's the scenes with
Scott because we did the like the Kirk's on the
first date and we're doing that and he's given him
advice and they start talking about Duckie and and uh
was it in uh pretty and pink and I don't know.
I just remember like those scenes when you're like if
(33:09):
you're if you're cracking up over and over again, it
gets dumb, it gets like performative, but like you know,
it's right when like the first the first time you
hit the rhythm perfectly, you can't help but like the
laugh because it's like, oh that's it, it's right there,
and uh, those are good feelings for sure. Thank you,
thank you. Hi. Um. Gilmore Girls has an amazing main
(33:33):
cast and then also has some really cool recurring characters,
uh you know, actors and guest stars. Um. And actually
Rob Estes played Jesse's a strange father, and then you
went on his shown two on oh and played someone
he was a surrogate father too. Matt Lantern's characters a
strange father, which I thought was a cool switcher. Um.
(33:57):
My question is if you would, through hair and makeup magic,
play any of the recurring characters or guest stars that
came on Gilmar Girls. Um, who would you want to play?
I think you just blew their minds. It's to me,
I'm area. That is a rare example of both a
(34:25):
good question and one I have not gotten before. Or
what's your favorite bourbon Jamison? Probably not Michael Winters because
he was too close to Luke, you know, he was
kind of Lukey. I think I think Rory because she
(34:55):
was so completely vulnerable and sweet, and she threw a
all of her lines away in such a way that
it was almost instructive because she had no acting experience,
so she had, you know, she brought a very fresh
approach to her work and I always admired that, Um,
the simplicity and and but it was also very rich
(35:19):
what she did. And she never pushed, you know, she
just never pushed. UM. So I think I would like
to try because it would be an interesting dynamic with Lauren.
You I want to be your boyfriend anymore, I want
to be your daughter. Speaking of kid Thrones, I read
(35:40):
too much ancient history. UM, you know what, I would
probably choose Paris because because I feel pretty well suited
for the character that I played, and Paris is probably
the most lateral move from from character. She's like the
She's more like a sort of mail counterpart in her
(36:02):
her weirdness and how how much anxiety she feels over
tiny little things. Um and uh, and I think that
would be a lot of fun. Thank you, Hi, I'm Sam.
I have a question for Scott. But first I wanted
to say, Sean, I absolutely love what Kirk, what you
bring to the show. I feel like it just it
(36:24):
just makes it so Yeah, I really I just wanted
to say that. But Scott, I wanted to know, specifically
on the first kiss scene with Lorla, how many takes
did it take you to film that? And was because
it was so perfectly done between the two of you
and the bands are back and forth of like would
(36:44):
you just stand still? And then would you just stand still?
So how many takes did it take to do that? Well?
I I purposely blew a lot of takes because you know, yeah, yeah,
was it awkward at all? Uh? You know, you know, honestly,
(37:08):
it wasn't awkward, but we knew it was the It
was gonna be a huge moment for us, maybe the
biggest moment thus far, obviously, and we were both very
nervous because we wanted to get it right, you know,
we really really wanted to get it right, because if
you if you screw that one up, you know that's
(37:28):
there's there's no coming back from that. So we really
and and and you could hear a pin drop on
this set and it was just it was it was
filled with energy electricity. That scene. Yeah, well you nailed it,
So thank you for that's had a lot of practice.
Hi um, I'm sure you guys have gotten this question
(37:51):
a lot before. But well, first off, you've both watched
the show full through or I I never watched the show,
and I have a podcast now where I'm watching the
show for the first time and then we're breaking down
the episodes. I never watched a show. I made the sausage.
I didn't want to eat it. I'm I mostly watched
(38:15):
I I would say I watched the show in general,
and I always watching my own stuff, which a lot
of actors don't. But I'm like, I like want to
break down what I did and I'm maning acting. So
then what were you team Luke or team Christopher Luke?
(38:46):
Luke Luke Luke. That was my favorite reaction time. I
was I'm a little I'm almost appalled that you even asked.
Thank you. I am kelln and um just piggyback off
(39:06):
her a little bit. I watched with my mom and
my brother, who were wrongly team Christopher while I was
Team Luke. So people can just bow for them. But
I have a very generic question. Did you take anything
from set? And if so, what was it. I took
a great deal. You deserved it. I feel that I did.
(39:30):
It was a negotiating tactic. I was going to hold
it hostage for more money per episode, and it worked out.
Actually it was a bridge midnight. There was an exchange,
you know. Yeah, No, I I too. You know, my chair,
the back of my chair, if that's the only thing
I ever take from Did they let you take things
(39:50):
from your work? Um? I have a lot of analyst
and I take like a lot of our office supplies.
Fair enough, Yeah, okay, yeah socks, that's my whole. Like
I'm that's about as as bold as I get, as
i'll as i'll. I'll leave my old sox and take
the new ones that Wardrobe gave for me. That's about
(40:11):
as far as I can go. Otherwise I feel like
I'm gonna get in trouble. Thank you both. Did you
have a lot of fun working with your daughter Gi
and the tog and Poole when you were supposed to
marry Lauren? What what was that light where you upset
(40:35):
that it took so long for you to marry her? No,
I think it contributed to building the tension for the
show over those four seasons that it took. I don't think,
you know, you give the audience what they think they
want and then they don't come back. But so you
(40:56):
gotta milk that. So that's that's good. That was a
good thing. You know, I would have milked it for
another couple of seasons, you know, yeah, why not? Right? Um?
But g was that my daughter's name in the show
was nickname. Uh So the question was did I like
having a daughter? I know, I loved her. She was
(41:21):
such a pro and she was so classy, and she
was so smart precocious. I geah, I think she is.
And her sister got a record deal as a teena three,
like a thirteen year old with Warner Brothers Records and
made some albums and you know, that's a very talented family.
Very I love her, and I know the fans had
an odd reaction to her. They didn't, you know, like
(41:44):
how Luke was and what it made him do and
act like towards Laurela and the withholding of it and
all that. But I loved working with her. I thought
it gave him another dimension and I really liked it.
Her name was April. Oh, so I'm gonna stick with
that answer. April. That's right. I was like, that is
(42:06):
not bringing a bell. I did pretty good, though, didn't
I Hi, This question isn't really related to um Gilmore Girls,
but um, Sean Gun, you play the physical embodiment of
Rocket in the m c U. What's that like? Uhuh,
it's probably for another panel, but I uh, it's um
(42:30):
it's a very unusual job. It ended up being the
next sort of you know, I I don't know how
to describe that. I'm I'm a very physical actor. That's
where I can make the segue from from Gilmore Girls
Too to doing Rocket is that I've always been I'm
very limber, and I very and I hopefully you know,
(42:51):
I used my body as expressively as I can, partially
because I was born with such a strange body. And
uh and you know, um, and I've always loved doing
physical comedy, and then when it came time to do Rocket,
it was like to put me on the I just
got down on my hands and knees and started doing
it from a crouch position. And now you know, now
(43:14):
I've done six movies. Is rocket and it's uh and
it's a it's a hell of a job. Thank you,
Thank you. All Right, we got about five more minutes,
so we're gonna try and do is. See, we can't
rapid fire through as many as we can, so I
apologize that we can't get to your question. But if
we don't, like I said, they have booths, you guys
can come and get your answers personally there. Okay, all right,
let's start. Um So this is actually for him again
(43:38):
because he wanted to ask two questions. But um, as Kraiglin,
when you were playing in Um Door Love and Thunder,
you married a woman you just met. How's that going good?
All right? Thank you for your question. Hi, my name
(43:59):
is Michelle, and this question is more for Scott Cushn.
You kind of already answered it for the revival. You
kind of gave it a thumbs down. What do you
think they could have done differently? Well, like I said,
you know, honor ed and his passing and all he
meant to that show. Give it a half to a
full episode and then the other three or three and
a half to a big wedding. I don't know. I
(44:22):
don't know, I don't know. I don't thank you. Okay,
So I've been watching the show since I was five
and it's really helped me grow. My question is, UM,
if the characters were cast two different actors, do you
think the show would have gone differently or do you
(44:43):
think no big failure, huge failure? First episode canceled by Hi,
my name is Isabella. UM. I kind of grew up
watching you guys as well. My grandma has the biggest
crush on you, like on Scott Um. My question is,
even like before um filmmaker roles, what was your first
(45:05):
impressions on like what did you think, like how it
would go? If that makes sense. As soon as I
walked into the room and met Amy and Leslie, Lincoln
Gladder who was directing the pilot, and Gavin Polone, I
felt like I had finally, honestly finally walked into the
right room. Because when you walk into rooms a lot
(45:28):
and there used to be a designated pilot season back then,
where it was just a specific amount of time during
the year where they cast pilots. You walk into a
lot of rooms and you don't feel comfortable and they're
not the right people, so that just means it's a
gut reaction. But with Amy and Gavin and and Leslie,
it was the right room, so I knew it was
I kind of almost instinctively knew it was going to
(45:50):
work out. Yeah, Gimba girls. Well, when I auditioned, I
was auditioning for a coast, a one day co star
role to play DSL installer um and I um My.
My agent at the time wanted me to pass on
the audition and not go because they because they thought, no,
(46:11):
you're only doing guest stars. Now, you're not doing co
stars anymore. And my but my manager was friends with
Mark Casey, one of the one of the casting directors,
and said, let's do this favor from R and going
and read the thing. I'm like, I'm like, I'm not
too good, Like I'm still struggling actor and I'm like,
I'm not too good for anything. Let me read the scene.
If I like the scene, I'll go in and read.
If it's if I'm saying, you know, can I get
(46:33):
your cup of coffee and leaving then I won't do it.
And I and I read the scene, I'm like, oh,
this is funny, and I understand this material. This is
like old old school comedy. This is like pressent sturge is.
It's like, I know exactly how this should work, and
uh and and it is one of the auditions that
I I went in and read and read and did
(46:53):
the scene and I just it was right there. Like
when I walked out, I was like, you guys can
go home. I just booked that role. I was there
when he came out of the room and I went home.
Thank you. Hi. My name is Amber, And I'm just wondering,
what's the most awkward or hilarious fan interaction you've ever had,
(47:17):
if you're legally allowed to share it. There was somebody
waiting when I bought a house. Finally, in two thousand
and three, I left my little rent controlled studio apartment
that was five and fifty a month for all you know,
with it included everything, and I just I wasn't leaving.
(47:38):
But my accountant said, well, do you want to write
this amount of money to the I R S? Or
do you want to own a house and get the deductions?
I said, up by a house. So I bought this
house and it had of this breezeway had it was
gated head of breezeway. It's very private. And coming home
from work one night there was a German girl who
was asleep in my breeze way. Um, and she found
(47:58):
out obviously where I lived. And you know, I I
woke her up and I said, are you okay? And
what's going on? And she started speaking to me. I
mean all Germans, most Germans learned English growing up, so
she spoke English and she said, oh, look, look, look look,
And I said, listen, this is I'm not going to
call the police and it's not you know, just don't
do this. This is my private home. Um um. And
(48:21):
then I said, but do you Mike Schnitzel, come on it. No, no,
I uh but so she laughed and you know that
that was probably the most awkward, strange encounter I've had
so far. They're usually very very pleasant encounters. They're all great,
you know, thank you mine is um. One of the
(48:42):
first conventions I did after the after UH Guardians, I
was with Michael Rooker and a young woman. UM. Yeah,
you know, I'm I'm I'm sorry. UM. Anyway, but this
this young woman, UM had rooker and I signed her
arm and then she came back the next day and
(49:05):
I had our signature's tattooed on her arm. Okay, did
you have a German accent? Oh? Yeah, thank you, thank you.
All right, there's no pressure. But this is unfortunately has
to be our final question. But we can do it.
We'll doing fast. We'll doing fast, real fast, real fast,
real fast. Scott, you've been able to play a lot
(49:25):
of different roles, not only a romantic lead here on
More Girls, but you've been a cop on the Sol series.
You've had all these different roles and somehow you've managed
to not be typecast. And how in the world did
you pull it off? Um? I don't know. I just
I just played the role that I'm given and I
try to make it real. Answer is talent. Next you
(49:53):
can do this? Hi, guys, my name's Will. A question
for both of you. What was it like working with
ed Herman and Kelly Bishop where they like very demanding
or um, especially when she was girling loop? What was
that like? They're both geniuses? Seriously, I mean I don't
think I like, right? Is there anything else to say
(50:13):
the first time I worked was working with that, I
was nervous and I don't get nervous, and it was like,
I'm working with a legend today at a golf course
and that was really cool. Yeah, that's great. Next, Hi,
I'm Sammy. Um I my rush is for both of you.
I guess Go More Girls has always been a comfort
show to me, which I think a couple of people
have said, and I think one of the reasons is
(50:34):
such a comfort show for people is the sense of
community because of the like large cast of consistent, like
smaller characters. I guess that feels very much like a family. Um.
But that's kind of controversial in real life because people, so,
would you ever want to live in a small town
like that where everyone actually like knows your business and
(50:56):
involved in everything, or would you actually hate to live
somewhere like that in real life? I would like it, actually,
But the thing that appeals to me most is just
first of all, being able to walk everywhere and um
and just knowing my neighbors. It doesn't mean I want
him in my business, but like the sense that you
have an extended family beyond your own home to the
(51:17):
people that are in your vicinity is something that is
appealing to me. Yeah, Scott agrees. Next, Hey, fellas my
question here. I talked about the fact that you came
in on that one episode, but you had another role
before you find ended up with Kirk. Can you talked
(51:38):
talked to us a little bit about that. It really
was just a matter of Amy forgot that she gave
my character a name and that first episode because in
the script he was DSL Installer and so she thought, oh,
this character doesn't have a name yet, and then a
few episodes later she had him introduce himself as kirk Um.
But what about Swan guy, Right, it's the same thing,
(51:59):
so Swan guy. So it was DSL installer, and then
it was Swan delivery guy. And then I did the
episode where where I was Kirk, and in Amy's mind,
she just hadn't given the character a name yet, and
then gave him the name of Kirk, not knowing that
I had introduced myself as Mick in the first episode.
To me, I was, I was. I thought I would
(52:19):
like playing sort of the same character, but not exactly,
like it's some weird you know, like uh interterimensional like
uh multiverse thing or something like that. Like I didn't know,
and I was too afraid to ask, so I just
like I was like, Okay, I'm just gonna roll with it.
And but you can see Kirk changes a little over
the course of those first few episodes as I was
(52:42):
kind of figuring it out. He doesn't really become really
Kirk until about episode like three or four. Yeah, all right,
thank you, thank you very much. I don't think there's
anywhere else to say you definitely yeah, your answers right here.
They they're definitely happy to see you. Thank you so much.
