She faced this masked menace on a cruise ship in
Times Square, on a subway, and even underground in the sewers,
and never fell victim to his murderous ways. She also

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Please welcome to the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Jensen Daggett, Hello, Hi, how are you today?

Speaker 4 (00:53):
I'm good? How are you guys?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
We are great.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
You know, we read that you were born in Connecticut
and your grandmother was an actress, In fact that her
first movie was Gone with the Wind. So is that
what initially got you interested in acting? Or take us
through kind of how you first got involved in all this.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
All the stories between my grandmother and my grandfather. My
grandfather was one of the little rascals and yeah, he
was the poor little rich boy who's like playing violin
with the with the with the wine barrel around him.
And he was also the eighth with the one that

(01:34):
always had the leather aviation cap on.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
He was like a little pilot. Yes, And they met.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
In Hollywood at some Hollywood party back in the day
and fell madly in love and they both quit. So
they both quit acting I think by maybe twenty three
or twenty four years old, so I never knew them
as actors, but I grew up with photos of my
grandfather is a little boy in a movie movie stills
with him and Laurel and Hardy, and because he did

(02:07):
some films, basically he was like pushed into being a
child actor by his single mom for financial reasons, so
he never really loved it. And then he actually became
a pilot and fought in the Wars and all of that,
and my grandmother gave it up for having children, which

(02:27):
is exactly what I did at age thirty, after having
no other job in my life from age I guess
sixteen to thirty. And yeah, so I guess I followed
him their footsteps in a lot of ways.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
That's amazing, and what an upbringing to have those like
to have his role models.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Who was your grandmother in Gone with the Wind?

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Oh, she was one of the cousins.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
There's these cousins that are always looking like they're fainting
on the sofa and in her bedroom and always talking
to Vivian Lee about the you know, about her love
life and all of that.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
There were two cousins, and yeah, she was one of them.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
And she did a whole bunch of other things, but
that was sort of her claim to fame.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
That's so cool.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's my mom's favorite movie. So I've seen it a
couple of times. Yeah, I'm going to go back and watch.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
We're looking for those cousins now, I know. I know.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
We also read that, like, you studied at the Stella
Adler Conservatory in Los Angeles. What was that like, because
I know a ton of le actors have also studied there.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, it was crazy.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
She was still alive, and so I think I was
on the tail end of studying with her, and she
was at that point maybe always a little cuckoo for
cocca puffs, and like I said, maybe she was always
this way, but when by the time I met her,
she would just sit there and she'd have her she'd

(03:57):
have like a cane, you know, it's.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
It's ever thing you imagined, you know. And she's sitting
there in the chair.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
And she would just be like why are you moving
or and she would just scream at you.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
And she was all about like blocking the scene first.
So it was very rigid. It was like you go
here and then you go here.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
So I studied there and I learned a lot of
the great basics. But then I went to a school
of Meisner with a really amazing teacher named janetal Hante
who coached so many incredible actors. I couldn't even list
them all, but like one of them in my class

(04:35):
was Josh Brolin. I mean, there were just so many
talented actors, and you had to audition to get into it.
Then you had to keep sort of auditioning through class
to get up into the levels, and so that was
really an incredible By the end of it, you're in
quite a small group, and I mean all of them worked,

(04:58):
and many of them went on to become super famous
and get awards and all of that. So I kind
of unlearned everything that I learned at Stella Adler to
be honest. Maybe you know, maybe if I wanted to
theater and not film and television, maybe I would have,
you know, been super happy with that.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
But for for what I was doing, it didn't really function.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
I feel like the eccentric people make the best, like
theater directors and theater teachers.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
You know, it's such like a stereotype.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
Oh my god, people were crying. There was not a
class where people didn't leave in tears. Not a single class.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
From being made like feeling bad from what you say.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Screamed at or some really bad comment or I mean,
I don't I know, I'm supposed to get on here
in Revere's but for me, it was a little bit traumatizing.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I have heard those stories. And is she located like
in the heart of Hollywood.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Yes, it was on Hollywood Boulevard like super By then,
really really creepy area.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
It was for the gentrification of Hollywood Boulevard. So you
were like taking your life in your hands. It felt like,
you know, driving there and parking there and walking to class,
and I mean it was but it was an experience.
It was an incredible experience. I'm so glad I did it.

(06:26):
But the method method acting I don't. I just I
don't know how many working actors in film and television
are still studying that.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah. I just saw play there and I was like,
oh wow, it's a cool building, but you know, yeah,
it needs a little TLC.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Oh really still, it was like taking care of it
by now.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
But yeah. Yeah, And growing up, were you a big
fan of horror films and was there any particular film
that had a big impact on you.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Yeah. I actually was a huge fan of horror films.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
I was like one of those latchkey kids walking home
with my key at like seven eight years old, and
so by the time I was probably eight or nine,
I was able to find really naughty films that I
shouldn't have been watching, and one of them, I think
the first one was Fantasm Going Way Back, and then

(07:22):
it was like The Fog, great one, and then yeah,
and then by age ten it was probably The Shining.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
And Halloween Oh, all great ones.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah. So yeah, I was a fan. Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
I never thought I would be in one because I
felt like I was studying to do like such serious work,
but I yeah, I basically what happened is I didn't
have an agent and I was I mean I had
a modeling agent, but that's a very different and so

(08:01):
I think I was eighteen and some casting director came
up to me in the old Beverly Center, which is
like so different now but anyway, and said like, hey,
I'm I'm reading for this Disney film and do you
have an agent? And I said no, and she was like, well,
call this woman. Her name is Cynthia Campos. At the time,

(08:21):
she was Johnny Depp's agent, might still be, I don't know,
and had a lot of good actors. And she was like,
just call Cynthia Campos and have a meeting with her
and just come to this audition. So I went to
the audition, I got a call back. I called Cynthia
and I went into her office and she said, what
is your favorite book? That was her only question to me,

(08:44):
because I guess she had talked to the casting director
and found out that I could actually act. And I
said An Rand's Fountainhead and she was like. She goes
onto her intercom and she goes, uh, Julie send in
contracts for Jensen Dagga, please really my whole interview?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Wow, yes, to make sure you God.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
What if your answer?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
What if your answer the Cat and hat I read
a comic book. I'm just wondering how it would have
gone differently depending on your age.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
And truthfully, I would have taken any agent at that time,
like any agent, And then I found out like who
she represented, and I was just like, there were so
many people, and I could I could not believe my fortune. Honestly,
so much of getting into acting. Maybe not for people
that have been trying for twenty thirty years, but if
you get into that world within a couple of years,

(09:43):
fifty percent of it, maybe seventy five percent is luck.
It's just luck, right, I mean, if I didn't have
an agent, then what you know? It's so it's so incredible.
And then am I talking too much?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
You know? No, No, Well we're going to We're about
I get to Friday the thirteenth. But I did have
one other like lead up question because I a fun
fact I read about you on IMDb. Now, side note,
these facts aren't always true, and we've done a lot
of interviews where he brings something up and they're like, Nope,
that's not true. Well, but what it said is that
as a teenager in nineteen eighty four, you were a

(10:19):
contestant on the game show Scrabble.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Is that correct? And if yeah, oh what happened? What
was that experience?

Speaker 5 (10:26):
Like, Oh my god, I was like a little game
show horror in high school because my parents were not
really about getting me a car or anything like that.
They were just sort of like, you got it, you know,
you got to make We made it on our own,
You're going.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
To make it on your own. And so I was like,
how am I going to make money?

Speaker 5 (10:46):
And at the time, I started like mannequin modeling, which
is like where you're like frozen. You're just like frozen
in a store window for an hour and then you
try to scare people. I mean, it was like, this
is what I was doing at age like fifteen. So
I auditioned for teen Scrabvel I uh and got on

(11:07):
it and won. Oh wow, yeah, I want some I
want some cash and some prizes. And then oh god,
I did some other show that I can't remember. And
then when I was like nineteen, I was dating the
director Sean Levy and we we auditioned four and went

(11:28):
on and won on Supermarket Sweep Sleep.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
That's so funny.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
There's a tape of me and Sean Leevy running through
grocery aisles and trying to like figure out how to
win this kid.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I need to Oh my god, I want to find
that episode because I used to as a kid watch
that and it was so cheesy in the best ways,
all bad.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
And we were living together. So I bought my first
house at nineteen, which is a whole other weird story,
but anyway, I lived in Beachwood Canyon at nineteen. Sean
moved in with me after like a year of dating,
and so we got a broy Hill dining set, you
know how they always gave away the cheesy country and
we I don't know. We won like five different things,

(12:15):
so oh a trip. We had a trip somewhere, maybe Mexico,
I don't remember.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Oh my god, yeah that exists.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
You won on Scrabble, and you won on Supermarket Sweep.
I've been on three and I lost all three.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
No n And I was on Prices Right and was
the first person called down and never made it out
of contestants row no.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Lout.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
I wanted to go on Prices Right so badly.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Oh my god, that's you know, I like studied these
things right like before, like Shawn and I before supermarkets.
We like watched five of them and we were taking notes,
we were studying. That's probably have that has something to
do with it. Also, he went to the Yale. That
doesn't allow, it doesn't hurt. I mean, the guy has
a brain.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
So that's incredible though, like what a great like story,
much better than our game show story.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Bad.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
So moving on to Friday the thirtye part eight, Jason
takes Manhattan. So, because I know this is around that
time in your life, what was the audition process like
for the role of Rennie and when you and when
did you first find out it was a Friday the
thirteenth film, because we read that the working title was
Ashes to Ashes.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
So let's see I had gotten so this was probably
I want to say, six months after I had an agent.
After I got an agent, I had a small part
and Fabulous Baker Boys first with Jeff Bridges, and then
I had this audition and it was Ashes to Ashes
and I went into at the time, what was a

(13:54):
commercial casting agency, So that was a little strange. It
was a place where like I had gone in for
like oxy zig cream when I was younger and stuff
like the same building. So we were in there and
they said to me, okay, read these sides, and the
sides were very serious, like, you know, our movie starts
like a normal movie, and I think it's actually quite

(14:17):
Disney or like an after school special.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
That's how it starts, right.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
So I was reading all these sides and that's all
I had, and it said Ashes to Ashes and then
they're like, okay, listen.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
Can you just scream? Just scream bloody murder and like
try to scream like ten different ways, scream like somebody's
chasing you. And I was like, what the hell is
going on?

Speaker 5 (14:40):
So the I you know, first I did like the
blood curling one, and then I did like the whimpering.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Well, I just tried to give them all these screams,
and I could see they were like like they were
so it was very serious to them these screams, and
they were so happy with the different screams.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
And I think like a day later, my agent called
me and she's like, you got the off for that
part in Ashes to Ashes for the lead and it
was a Paramount film and I was like great, and
she's like, and it's Friday the thirteenth, Part eight. So
like most of the people in my cast who thought

(15:17):
that it was some other kind of film. I was like,
holy shit, I am in the big time. I am
in the freaking big time. So so that happened. And
then at the same time, I got an offer for
Wayne's World for the Courtney Cox part. Oh, and I
couldn't do both. And the Courtney Cox part was like,

(15:41):
I don't know, two or three scenes. I had done
the table read for it, but I had to make
a choice. And I know a lot of people probably
would have gone with Mike Myers and Wayne's World, which
I'll never know what the best.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Decision would have been.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
But I was just like, this is a lead in
a in a really big movie and it's you know, paramount,
and I'm going to get that up for like three
scenes in a comedy, And so I went with I
went with Friday the thirteenth.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
What was it Courtney Cox or was it Laura Flamboyle?

Speaker 6 (16:15):
No?

Speaker 4 (16:15):
I think was it Courtney Cox.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
I don't know, are we in Wayne's World?

Speaker 3 (16:20):
The girl the car?

Speaker 1 (16:22):
That's that's Laura Flamboyle.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Oh geezh.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
I totally until Tim said that I was thinking it
was Courtney Coxy film.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Okay, so Laura Flynn Boyle, but you.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Know what, we are so thankful that you chose Friday thirteenth.
I mean obviously, like Wayne's World was a big movie too,
But that's so crazy.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
And do you remember any of the other actresses who
auditioned for Ready, because we read it was Elizabeth Berkley,
Pamela Anderson, and d Ede Pfeiffer.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Wow, I had no idea.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Oh, no clue.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
I mean again, so many facts that are online you
never know they're true. But someone said that they did,
but we didn't know if you you know, like ran
into Elizabeth Berkeley or.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
Pamela you know, I may have.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
I mean, it's it's so long ago, but now, but
I do know that Elizabeth Berkeley and I used to
audition for a lot of roles, more my more of
like the young Angeneu roles than what I did mostly,
which was like young doctor, young lawyer or whatever. But
I auditioned with against her a lot. She's lovely, she's

(17:32):
super lovely. I don't know how she didn't get the part,
but she's Yeah, she's she's super great. I'm sure that
part's true. I don't know about pam Anderson. I feel
like I would have heard about that.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, that's have you seen the other thirteenths prior to yours?

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yes, all seven? Had you I mean at that time?

Speaker 5 (17:54):
I mean, if not, I would have seen at least,
you know, four of them or something like that in
three D.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah, I don't. I don't know if I have I
seen that one.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
I probably have seen snippets of it because the first
night that we were all shooting, we were on this leaky, freaky,
creepy cold boat that was stationed on the lake, and
we decided that we were going to watch one through
seven overnight in a row.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
And so we went to.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
Like Tower Video or whatever, and we got all these
VHS tapes and somebody brought the VHS player the VCR
and we watched one through seven, and you know, some
of us would be taken out to go film the
scene and then we would like run back and try
to pick up, you know, where we left off or whatever.

(18:51):
So we were people were coming and going, but we
actually had a marathon of one through seven the first night.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
That's a dream that I yeh does sound like fun
I love And you're like, but what happened to the
telekinetic girl from parts it's like what happened to the
love though? You know, so the character of Rennie obviously
has a connection to Jason because he attacked her in
the lake when she was a kid, which caused her
whole fear of water. When preparing for this role, were
you able to relate to Rennie and the idea of

(19:19):
having a sort of like a deep seated fear like
that in any way?

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
I mean, first of all, I was one of those
kids that like thought about death a lot, which is
common for some young kids, you know, where you have
that like you have that like realization of like you're
not always going to be here. And I think I
probably thought about that more than most kids. So I'm
sure I like drew from that. I was a super

(19:48):
sensitive kid. But yeah, I mean, obviously, nobody's ever tried
to drown me, and nobody's ever haunted me that I
know of. But yeah, but it was anyway, it was
super cool. But I do have to tell you that
when they offered me the role, they said, this is

(20:09):
going to be the last right of the thirteenth, and
I was so that also played a part of it.
I was like, oh my god, I'm going to be
like the final.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Girl, the final final Girl, the final Girl.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Right.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
That obviously didn't happen, And I have to think that
every single film says that to.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
That what they're offering it to.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
I mean, they literally called Part four the final Chapter exactly. Yeah,
they too popular to go as yes, So you know
I read that writer director Rob Headen's original script had
more of the movie take place in New York City,
but then Paramount said, you know, we don't have them
enough money to film so many scenes in the Big Apple,
so a lot were rewritten. So what I was wondering is,

(20:50):
when you first read the script for this film, do
you remember any additional scenes that were supposed to take
place in New York City that ended up changing?

Speaker 5 (21:01):
No, I don't think so. The scenes remained in their locations.
I think it's just that we ended up filming eighty
percent of those New York scenes in Vancouver.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
But I don't remember. I mean, do you guys know
you no more than I did.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Well?

Speaker 2 (21:16):
The only thing again, it's on the internet and you
never know, is like there was something that said, oh,
they were going to have like a big showdown in
Madison Square Garden or somebody again.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
No, that's right.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
Oh it's right, Thank god you guys read on them.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
No, that's absolutely right.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
Now I've only heard this from Caine, Okay, So I
don't know, because maybe it was just something that was
like discussed and never was actually in the script. I
never read a script with that. I definitely would have
remembered that. But maybe it was something when they were
having conversations with Caine because he was already like linked

(21:54):
to the script. Maybe that's something they discussed. But that
would have been ridiculously expensive.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh yeah, my gosh, just filming anywhere these days, especially
in New York City.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
But I can only imagine and Madison Square Garden, I
mean like that. I mean it would have been epic,
But yeah, I can see how it's expensive. So another thing.
The original actor that was hired to play your love
interest Sean was Lee Coleman. But in the Christmas at
Christmas Wow, the Crystal Lake Memories documentary, I'm in.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
The movie the Holidays.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
In the Crystal Lake Movie Memories documentary, we learned that
a couple of weeks after filming begun, Lee was let
go because apparently producers thought he came off as gay
in THEA and had no romantic chemistry with you. So
what do you remember about working with Lee Coleman. Did
you notice this lack of chemistry?

Speaker 5 (22:48):
Okay, so I guess in my memory what I remember
is that, first of all, he was a super nice guy,
and I think he was just coming off a little soft.
And I don't know if it was like definitely like
I don't know if people were like he's too gay.
I just know that he was like coming off not

(23:11):
very boyfriend like, and that could have been like an
acting choice he made.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
I do know that Rob was like trying to he
was just kind of quiet, and you know, Scott Reeves
played it a little bit like that, but I think
it was just more extreme. And also, yeah, like he
clearly had no interest in me, and I mean not
as a person, but like, yeah, it wasn't like he

(23:37):
was catch you know, like really meeting my glances or
gazes or anything like that. I think we shot a
scene where we're like staring into each other's eyes and
he was just like kind of all over the place
and like not really connecting with me.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
By the way, I knew none of this like none
of it.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
I was just like, Oh, this is an actor that
I'm I have to maybe pull a little more out of,
or I'm going to have to try to connect with
more or whatever. Nobody said anything to me.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
So did you just find out one day they're like, oh,
we're replacing him, Like.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
Scott showed up. Literally, Scott showed up. Scott showed up,
and that poor guy was still in the hotel.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Oh yes, Hollywood's cool.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Really, so they had already recast him before they fully
let him go.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah, as far as I know, because he was still
there and after Sean arrived, I mean Scott arrived, he
left like that next day.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
I think, well, that's so sad.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Well, I mean he wrote that in the documentary and
he had an interview, so he got to say his side.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Oh what did he say? I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
He just said that basically everything we just talked about,
Like he was one day he was there and the
next day he was.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Wow, you know what acting is so brutal. Honestly, I
don't miss that part of it. Like, I think everybody
gets fired at least once. I got fired off of
a sitcom once. I still don't know why but like yeah,
and you don't you like sometimes you just don't even know.
They're like, we're going in a different direction. I got

(25:15):
replaced by Nancy McKeon Yeah, Life, we're so different, Like
when I'm want a sitcom, I'm a little more Hellen Hunt,
Like it's dry, it's whatever.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
That's how I used to be.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Well, I guess that's kind of more of a compliment
when when the person that they like takes over your
role is so different, you're like, okay, Like yeah, Flora Flamboyle,
You're like, no, wait, well you know Jensen, you take
the good you'd say you take the back, take them both,
and then.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Oh, anyway, okay, So dad, I had to jump in
with the facts of life. The themes are okay. So,
as I said in the intro, you know, the film
takes place in many different settings, in the first of
which is the s S Lazarus. Now, while you're on
the ship, there is a scene where Charlotte Martin pushes
you overboard and you fall into the water. So two
questions about this time. Yeah, Number one, did you actually
have to do that fall or was that completely a

(26:08):
stunt person? And two, how did they film that part
that lasts like for so long, where young Jason is
constantly pulling you down.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
Yeah, okay, so first of all, she pushed me, and
I'm sure I went over to a mattress. I did
not ever jump off. I did do a short jump
once into a tank. I did a short jump into
a tank. And then the Jason thing was also shot
in a tank where young Jason is pulling me down.

(26:38):
Recently because I've gotten to know him as an adult
at a convention, Yeah, I love him so much, by
the way, he's like one of my favorite people.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
Anyway, he tells.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
A very scary story about how he really they were
like holding him underwater and then releasing him, and he
was worried that they.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Wouldn't release him and he would need to breathe.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
I mean, like, when he tells a story, it's pretty horrific,
Like I don't think you could get away with it today.
And he was in the tank for hours and he
could barely see because of all that stuff all over
his base and the mask and all of that that
they the prosthetics. So I did not realize that he
was going through that at all, but I do know
the tank was freezing cold, there's like an oily substance

(27:28):
all along the top. I was like, was this an
oil tank that somebody just drained? And we're swimming in
now for hours?

Speaker 4 (27:36):
And it was super miserable. All the water stuff was
so miserable.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
We were getting closed down on that shoot like at
least every other day in Vancouver in the fall, at
like three in the morning, hose down.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
How tough was it to film all that rain on
both the ship and the lifeboat?

Speaker 5 (27:58):
It was, you know, obviously the easy part is like
the rain machine. It was just that if you watch
certain scenes, you can see that I have a wet
suit wetsuit bottoms under my pants, Like my pants look
really weird in some scenes, like I look like a
bunny rabbit from behind, And that's because we had like

(28:21):
wet suits. And we would run off the stage and
be holding those handwarmers like we lived with those hand warmers,
and people would just be throwing them to us, like
as soon as cut was yelled.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
It was so much.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Back in nineteen ninety six, I had the pleasure of
meeting Tim Murkovich at the This is Crazy the Donner
Reid Festival Acting festal in Iowa and he was like,
he was like, oh, I played Jason and Friy thirteenth
the part eight and he's like, my dad's the editor. Yeah, Mrkovich.
So I was like, what a small world.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Like.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
I was like, that's my favorite movie. So like the
whole week. I was like, tell me about frid thirteen
and he's like, I almost drowned.

Speaker 5 (28:59):
That's right, Like apparently that's true. I just yea, so
many horrible things he went through that kid.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
I just because the rain, it's like monsoon rain that
you guys are and you're like soaked, and when you're
underwater and you're being pulled down in full clothes. So
it's just like it looked so uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yes, it was so uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
Luckily I was on the swim team, so I'm super
comfortable in water.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Thank god. I can't. By the way, nobody asked.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
Me that before I took the job, Like, can you
imagine if they had somebody that couldn't swim or had
a fear of water or oh no.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
That's why I was thinking, and that's why we asked
you about the fears, because I was like, oh my god,
how could someone really play that role if they were
afraid of water, weren't good at swimming.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
Yeah it was, I don't know, I mean it was anyway,
it was all worth it. And as I say all
the time, like the best way to learn how to
hit your marks is to like having candy glass, you know,
coming at your neck from Jason punching through the little
you know pole in the boat and the portal. And
I mean it was just like you immediately learn that's

(30:04):
my mark, that's my key light. I don't want to
keep doing the scene. I'm going to hit these no
matter what. And I can see some of that in
my acting where I can see that I'm like very
preoccupied with where my.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
Mark is in certain scenes.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
And you know, it's like the best way to learn
how to be a responsible actor.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
I think. So that was that was great.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
That's so funny you mentioned because that was our next
question exactly about that scene, because it's documented that when
Jason in that very famous scene like punches through the
porthole and grabs you, that it says that you were
actually terrified because he's pulling you toward like a large
piece of glass in the window frame. So yes, so
were you like you were actually scared? That you were

(30:50):
going to get sliced Bycket.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
Yeah, because you can get cut from it's candy glass.
It's still a sharp edge of something that is a
hard surface, and it's like this close to your neck,
And I mean when I'm when I'm struggling, I'm really like,
oh my god, how close is this freaking piece of
you know, candy glass to my neck? I mean it was,

(31:13):
and obviously you do it several times, and I totally
trust Kane, But it has nothing to do with Caane.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
It's about this glass and how the glass is going
to break.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
So I always thought it was part of the film.
Like I was like, Oh, it's raising the stakes, like
he's going to kill it going into the glass.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Oh, I know, because you're really close to that piece
of glass. I mean really close.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
No, Like the whole thing is it's supposed to shatter.
It's candy glass. It clearly doesn't shatter.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
So anyway, you know, we also heard you mentioned in
the Crystal Lake Memories documentary that although he was adorable,
working with Toby the dog was not so easy.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
So what made working with this dog so difficult?

Speaker 4 (31:55):
Oh my god?

Speaker 5 (31:56):
So many takes, Like you get a take and you
think it's great and you're so happy with it, and
then you have to redo it four more times because
the dog didn't hit the mark, the dog's not in
their key light or whatever, and you're like, oh my god,
it's four in the morning. And some of some of
the takes that we use to like honestly weren't my
best takes. But that's you know, that comes with being

(32:18):
an actor. You don't have any control over it or whatever.
But yeah, I mean, the dog just adds this whole
other element of.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
Of like which take are we going to use.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, we've talked to people who've had to, you know,
like act with babies, and it's similar because it's like
you can't control what the baby's gonna do, but at
least the baby can't like get up and run away
exactly exactly.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
So anyway, but you know, I love dogs. I mean
you could probably I'm sure you've seen and there's like
a dog walking around. Yes, yes, yes, yeah, so I
love dogs and I was so excited to work with
a dog.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
But at four in the morning, you're like, oh my god,
can we just write the dog out of the scene.
I'm gonna kill my stuff.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
You know, and when you were rowing on the boat,
were you also in the tank or where was that
water tank from the life.

Speaker 5 (33:05):
Oh god, that's a good question. That wasn't a tank,
but that was in Vancouver. And the scene where he's
actually pulling me down, we had to reshoot on the
Universal lot and Universal Studios and a huge water tank.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Much cleaner water.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Yeah, the oil water, Yeah, that.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
Was the oil water. Was the Universal tank.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Actually, you weren't actually in the Atlantic Ocean on the
New York City exactly.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
You know.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
So moving on to when you and the other survivors
are in New York City. Now, you know, it's well
known that, like you were saying that, a lot of
the scenes that are supposed to be New York City,
like in the alleys, the diner on the subway, were
actually in Vancouver. But we read you did get to
film in Times Square with Jason, correct.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
What was that?

Speaker 4 (33:58):
Like?

Speaker 5 (34:00):
That was by far the best experience ever. I mean,
we're shooting in Manhattan, We're coming up an escalator in
Times Square. It was our final shot of the entire movie.
They planned it that way, and the sun is starting
to rise and there we are in time we've shut

(34:21):
down Times Square, which is like also an incredible thing
to do. And there's like a big you know camera
that's panning and doing a three sixty, and that was
above us, you know, that was above me and Scott
and so we're watching. It just felt like we were
in such a big movie. You know, it felt like, Wow,

(34:41):
this is movie making, and it's rare that you get
those experiences. I don't know if I ever had an
experience like certainly not in Major League or any of
the other films I did. It's like, I don't think
I've ever had an experience that felt so big Hollywood?

Speaker 1 (34:58):
And how many days did you have film in New
York City? And was the final scene with Toby the
Dog filmed there as well? Like all in one time period.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
It's like that final scare you see someone approaching and
it's actually a dog.

Speaker 5 (35:12):
No no, no, Toby never made it to New York Toby,
thank god, Toby.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Uh Toby.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
We shot that scene in what used to be male tunnels,
like for the post office underground in Vancouver, So we
shot a lot.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
We shot. We must have shot at least a week
or two down in those tunnels.

Speaker 5 (35:36):
And that's where I kill Jason and that's where you
see young Jason come out of old Jason and all
of that stuff.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Like, so that was all in the tunnels.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
And how long? So how long were you in New York?
Just a couple of days.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
I think we were in New York probably five days,
but we probably only shot uh three days at the most.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
So did you get to see a Broadway show or like,
I think I.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Stayed there after. I think I see it there after.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
Yeah, I think I stayed there in some really crappy
hotel and then I went to see some family Connecticut.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Like I I definitely made the most out of it.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
That's awesome. O oh no, o oh, we saw the
dog in the background before the Oh what's your dog's name?

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Cooper?

Speaker 3 (36:26):
Cooper, Hi, Cooper.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
There is a what do you call them? A foster fail? Cooper,
the foster fail?

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Wait, what's a foster like?

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, like you take on the dog and then.

Speaker 5 (36:38):
You're going to find it a home and then nobody
wants the dog, or you fall in love.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
With the dog and you keep the dog.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Oil. So which was it for Cooper?

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (36:51):
Cooper started out as nobody would take the damn dog?
Because he was fairal and then he turned it into
the most incredible dog and then we kept him.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Oh that makes sense. I feel like we have a
dog that we absolutely love. But like I feel like
I don't think I could foster any dogs because I
would just want to keep them forever, Like I couldn't
ever get rid of them and say yeah, so it's
either get it or not. But anyway, back to Friday thirteenth,
you mentioned Kane Hodder. Obviously, he's been in four different movies.

(37:20):
This was his second. What was he like to work
with on this one.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
He's so amazing. He is so amazing.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
I mean, first of all, he stays in care for
Jesus Cooper. He so on the set, he purposely stays
in character a lot because he does want to be
menacing and scary to us. So it's not like he's
like hugging you and then the next minities, you know,
chasing you. But he is instantly somebody who became like

(37:52):
a big brother or an uncle. He was really looking
out for all the young actors. He was so serious
and thorough about blocking the scenes and making sure that
we were safe. And I mean, he's just there's a
reason that he's done it four times. God bless him.
I mean, like, in my head, that's Jason, and I

(38:15):
think in a lot of people's heads that's Jason.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Everyone we've talked to from the four installments he's been
and has said the same, like, yeah, because we've talked
to people from everything, everyone but Jason.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
J Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
But no, But that's that's really No.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
It's nice to hear because I just always, you know,
imagine that he would be that kind of person. You know,
you mentioned the tunnels and the sewers, and you know
that's where the big final face off is. So so
many water questions because there's just so many water, so
much water in this film, but like, okay, the big
mad like splashing through of all that water, what's toxic

(38:52):
waste at the end?

Speaker 3 (38:53):
How did they do that? And were you really having
to hang on to a ladder as wa Yes, Oh really.

Speaker 5 (38:58):
Totally totally hanging onto a ladder water brought in. I
think they even put like this green goo in the water.
So absolutely. That was again, so many long nights, so
many long cold nights, and that was one of them.
And I feel like we shot that scene a lot

(39:20):
because it was tight quarters and everything has to be
so perfect.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
So yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
New York is not a particularly glean place. And you
had to wear white pants. If I remember correctly, you
must have gone through so many pair.

Speaker 5 (39:35):
I probably had like five pairs of those white pants.
And speaking of which, I have an Easter egg in
this room.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
Do you see it?

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (39:44):
Oh god, is there a pair of white pants?

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (39:47):
You know?

Speaker 3 (39:48):
Wait? Wait are we looking for like a prop from
the film or.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
Yeah, pretty much?

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Are you wearing the necklace that Scott gave you?

Speaker 2 (39:56):
No, no Cooper, which I had that?

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Oh oh it's the famous best. Oh my god, that's awesome.
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (40:12):
Yes, I can't see myself on the screen, so I
don't know if I'm holding this.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
No, no, you are, but if you even put it closer, yeah, oh.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
There it is.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
There is every scene in the.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Movie and hello nineteen eighty nine everyone.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
Yes, I think I may have told you when I
met you, guys, But my you know, I am not
a pack rat. And I tried to get rid of
like everything from every movie and all the wardrobe and stuff.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
But my mom is like a mild quarter and she every.

Speaker 5 (40:42):
Time I tried to get rid of I would have
bags of stuff to get rid of and she would
come up and be like.

Speaker 4 (40:46):
No, I think I'll wear that. I think I'll wear
that ugly vest. I really do.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
I was just about to ask you do you like it?
But you just ca Yeah, it's so bad.

Speaker 5 (40:56):
I mean, come on, it looks like curtains it but
it's cutting edge. Yeah, it's bad. It's even back then
it was. It was like, oh, like I tried to
sell it to myself, like, yeah, it's kind of vintage,
it's kind of fool, it's kind of that vintage look,
but really it's a set of burdens. But my mom
hates to get rid of anything. So she took my

(41:17):
crew jacket, which I still have. I'm one of the
only cast members, I think, maybe the only one that
still has their original crew jacket with my character name
on it that we got at.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
The end of the shoot. And I have this, and
I ninety percent sure of the white shirt that went
under this at my mom's for sure. She never threw
that away. So yeah, so I'm anyway, now, I'm super grateful.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
I mean white pants, yes, you're complete.

Speaker 5 (41:44):
Yeah, And I whenever I have fans when I'm doing
any autographs or anything like that if there's a kid.
Because it's small, I was like, even small Areca. But
when there's a kid, I'll let them wear it in
the photos.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Oh that's fu.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
So I have a lot of kids going around now
that are like wearing this vest.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
I don't wear it.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
And next time, boys or my crew jacket.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
What was it like working with Rob Headon?

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Yeah, this was his first film.

Speaker 5 (42:17):
God, he's so lovely and I just saw him for
the first time in like thirty years or something in
August the time I met you guys, and I hadn't
seen him for all those decades, and he is exactly
the same. He's still a kid at heart.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
He is just the sweetest, most lovely, innocent, honest guy.
He tried so hard to make this an artistic film.
I don't know if people pick up on that or not.
He was so serious about characters and developing the characters
and about you know, these shots. There's a lot of

(42:56):
shots where it's like, why is Rennie just sitting there
on the floor for so long? There's a lot of
there's a lot of shots like that. But he was
like doing the pan over and he was like, and
you're there and you're thinking back to your youth.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
And you know, there's a lot of that, which is
why I think that we are also like one of
the corniest of the movies. And not that that was
the intention, but it's like, you know, when you try
to make something really artistic and deep and it's Friday
the thirteenth, that's a really that's a really strange.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
Combo to try to meld together. And like he really
gave it. He really gave it a go.

Speaker 5 (43:38):
And I have a lot of people that come up
and they're like, this is my favorite film because we
cared about the characters, and so it did. It did
work on some level, and on another level, it's like
we're Jason on a cruise. We're ending up in New York.
You can only do it by Rob explained to me
this last time in August that like he made sure

(43:58):
before we shot it that there is actually a way
that you can get from that lake to New York
on the same boat, and he described the whole thing.
There's a place and there's a lock. You know what
a lock is, where you like raise the water.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
I mean I didn't, and I've always wondered how it
got from the pot.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
Yes, you ask me that all the time, and I'm like,
now I know, and I wish I had written it down,
but I'm going to get him to text it to
me because there's a whole way.

Speaker 4 (44:27):
He was like, I do.

Speaker 5 (44:28):
I would not shoot the film unless I could prove
that there was actually way to get to New York.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
So it's so funny because I think the movie creates
a real mood with those pans, like at the beginning
when the boat comes into frame and it's yest Lake.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Like, oh completely.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
I mean, he's you know, he's great, he's wonderful. It's
just that when you when you have fans coming up there,
like the true horror fans, then we're like the Disney version,
you know, or we're just more of the like Hairspray version,
I think, singing and dancing. But it's just like I
think it's a little bit campier. I meant, at one point,

(45:08):
I've got like a needle at my neck from a
heroin addict.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
And it's so over the top. You know.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
My sweet brother took me when Trevor when I was younger.
I was on opening day, like the at the noon,
and I was scared out of my mind. Okay, good,
but yeah, well thirty different stories, different story.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
My only complaint with this film, Jensen, is Barbara Bingham
was killed because she Missus van Dus Like, she was
such a sweet character and to have her die in
that like in the car, such a bummer.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
Everybody has to die. It's a miracle Scot survived.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Yeahs no, that is true.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
You know, speaking of Rob hadn't. Something Rob said in
the Crystal Like Memories book is that he kept trying
to get you to do some sort of nudity in
the film and that you refused every time. Now, when
I read this, I was like, why would he ask
for that? Because everyone knows that the final girl in
a horror movie rarely has sex, does nudy. I mean,
it's basically one of the rules, like per scream. So

(46:15):
how did Rob like approach this with you? And did
this affect your relationship at all?

Speaker 5 (46:19):
At the time, I'm wondering if that was a joke,
because that is not how I remember it. I mean, well,
I remember, first of all, one of the first questions
I asked when I was trying to figure out if
I was going to do the film, was like, is
there nudity, because at that point I wasn't even allowed
to read the whole script. And the answer was like, no,

(46:41):
you're the final girl. There's no nudity. There's there's another girl.
There's another girl that's going to be topless, and another
girl is going to be in lingerie, but like, there's
no nudity. And I was like, okay, so I don't
even think that was ever up for grabs. Now, if
he wanted me to be nude or sexier, why did
they put me in this.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
And with like a collared shirt.

Speaker 5 (47:04):
And frumpy baggy pants, Like he could have at least
tweaked the wardrobe.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
Hilarious for me to be sexy, but that's not a
vibe with the wardrobe or even my hair.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
So you don't remember him asking you ever then to.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
Do Like, how would that even have happened?

Speaker 1 (47:31):
I'm actually surprised he said it to the book.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
No, Like I don't even take a shower. Clearly I'm
in the same pants in every scene, so I don't
even I don't know.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
You and your boyfriend have just very like sweet innocent,
So like it's just so funny because when I read that,
and maybe he did say it as a joke.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
I'm like, how would that even work?

Speaker 1 (47:55):
He probably did say it to you, and you're probably
just like.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
Yeah, I mean, I'm just like, so he punches through
the candy glass and.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
He rips my shirt off, how does this work? And
I guess I don't know. I had very big boobs,
you know, my whole life.

Speaker 5 (48:13):
So I I'm sure at one point somebody thought about something,
but like, I honestly don't even remember being approached.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
That's so funny.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
But again, it doesn't make sense, Like the final girl
is always supposed to be the very innocent, you know,
the one who does every and so it wouldn't have
made sense if you were suddenly in a towel and
like my hairs in like.

Speaker 4 (48:36):
A grandma bun. In the beginning with the I mean,
do you remat I mean, they did everything they could
to make me like, oh, like a little Bret girl
or something, or.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Like, I'm a huge fan of soaps. I watched The
Bald and Beautiful, not The Young and the Restless, but
Scott Reeves is like a did you ever watch him
on The The Young and the Restless?

Speaker 4 (48:55):
I don't watch so fuch. I'm so sorry, but by
the way, I adore him.

Speaker 5 (49:01):
He's amazing as his wife, Missy is. And they got
engaged while we were shooting.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Oh my god, so young.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
Over so young?

Speaker 5 (49:10):
Yeah, so young, but you know what, they are together
and happy and have the most incredible family. Like he
was showing me all the grandkids. I mean, they have
six grandkids.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Now wow, yeah, he's way too young to have grandkids.
But I guess he got married young.

Speaker 5 (49:28):
So clearly like they were right, they were right, they
knew that they were the one, and they got engaged.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
That's great.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
So overall, what was your favorite scene to film in
Jason Takes Manhattan.

Speaker 5 (49:41):
Well, definitely the last scene on Times Square. And then
besides that, I love the subway scenes because we actually
shot those in New York and we were in a
decommissioned subway station, and I like, I always liked physical comedy,

(50:02):
but like I like the physical part of running through
those and being chased in Like for me, that was
the easiest thing to shoot.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
First of all, I wasn't soaking wet, and also it's just.

Speaker 5 (50:15):
I don't know, it's like your energy's up and and
I it wasn't as as methodical and serious as every
other thing. You know, we were just running for our lives,
and so I love those scenes.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
And Jason knocks that way.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Well, I'm just gonna say, do you laugh every time
he pushes that poor blonde girl and she goes.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
Ah, yes.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Every time, Like I think there's a hip of it
and it's just so sad, but it's hilarious because but
he just pushes her aside and her react like oh.

Speaker 5 (50:47):
Yeah, okay, that brings me to my This is my
big ask for some fan out there or you guys.

Speaker 4 (50:55):
I don't care, but I promise if somebody does this,
the cast will show up.

Speaker 5 (51:00):
Here's my idea because there are so many crazy moments
that are so over the top and so campy. I
believe that somebody needs to turn this into the next Rocky.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
Horror picture ship.

Speaker 5 (51:14):
Where people are showing up with syringes and at one
point they're shooting the syringers in the air, and there's like,
you know, rock candy being thrown when he punches through
the glass like you can. There are so many moments
the audience could get so so many times totally. Somebody
has to do this. Not only that, like our soundtrack

(51:36):
is hysterical, Oh.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
The Darker side of the night.

Speaker 5 (51:39):
Oh, oh my god, there's just so many campy moments.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
Yeah, like this needs to be turned into something like that.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
I've been too as a midnight screening of your film
and no, yeah, at the New Beverly they showed it
for the twenty fifth anniversary. I think, yeah, I think
Julian was there. Is that his name in the movie?

Speaker 3 (51:58):
What do you mean?

Speaker 7 (52:00):
Yeah, after he just recently told me about that, And
I've heard that from fans recently, because I've only been
aware of all of this, by the way, recently.

Speaker 5 (52:17):
I mean this is like going back thirty years. I
never knew that this kind of fandom still existed. I
you know, it's been all these years, Like the cast,
we haven't kept in touch really, and it's been like
a homecoming lately seeing them for these like anniversary things,
and it's amazing and I love it. But if somebody

(52:40):
I'm not on any social media, this is a horrible
thing to admit. But somehow somebody has to let me
know if this thing is being shown again.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Oh, if we've found out, if we if or even
if there's just a normal screening in our area or anything,
We'll let you know, are you kidding?

Speaker 4 (52:54):
Yeah, I would love to go to that. Well, maybe
for my kids.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
What was your experience seing it for the first time
on a big screen with like a crowd?

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Yeah? Was there a premiere?

Speaker 5 (53:04):
Okay, there was a premiere and I missed the premiere
because I was shooting something and I don't know what,
but I was shooting something out of town and.

Speaker 4 (53:13):
Oh, I think it was like twenty one Jump Street
or something.

Speaker 5 (53:16):
So I missed it, which sucked. And it was at
the Man's Growman Chinese Theater, which I'm sure would have
been amazing. But I did go there after the fact,
and I snuck in and watched it about a week
after it came out in that theater, and that was
super cool because this is like, for people who don't

(53:38):
live in La, this is the most iconic movie theater,
vintage movie theater in the world, and it's like all
the huge people have had their premieres there, and it's
right in front of it is obviously all the handprints
and the feetprints.

Speaker 4 (53:53):
So it was really cool going in and just.

Speaker 5 (53:56):
Kind of sitting in the back and like listening to
everybody's reaction and hearing people's scream and that was amazing.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
That that is awesome.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
You got like at least an experience with an audience.

Speaker 4 (54:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Yeah, and at that time was do you remember was
there ever any talk of bringing you back for a sequel?
Did they ever talk about that?

Speaker 5 (54:16):
Yes, yes, I know my agent was approached for that.
At one point I totally would have done it. I
don't know what happened, but it just that script didn't
go or whatever. Somebody wrote a script where and gave
it to me, and it was such a good script.
Of course, I have no idea. I'm not in the
business anymore. I don't know how to get things made

(54:37):
or anything. But somebody wrote the script where Jensen Daggett me,
the real Jensen Daggett is suddenly being stalked by Jason
in her real life with her kids or whatever. This
script was so good. I still have it somewhere. Somebody
gave it to me in like a leather binder and

(54:58):
I read it and I was like, I would totally
do this.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
It's like a West Craven's New Night thing.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
So good. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (55:05):
So people, you know, every once in a while things
have been talked about, but at this point, I'm like
don't we need to have a movie where all the
final girls and boys get taken out.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
One by one.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
I mean, we would love to have a movie with
all of you in it. We don't want you to
be taken out.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
Shake me out.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
It's fine, you know you.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
One thing I love that you said in the Crystal
Like Memories book. And you know this was back in
two thousand and five, but you said that being in
this movie made you a cool aunt to your nieces
who would watch it at slumber parties. And you also
said that you were sure one day your son would
be equally impressed. So I've got to know, have your
kids now seen the film and what do they think
of their mom being in Jason Takes Manhattan.

Speaker 5 (55:47):
Yeah, I would say my older son Milo, when he
was younger, I would find out that he would go
to a slumber party and that they would have watched
Friday the Thirteenth. So I think that was like a
flex for sure. My younger son could not care less,
not in a bad way. But you know, my kids
are just to them. I've always been a builder. I've

(56:10):
always been designing homes and building homes and and so
it's like this is just some weird thing their mom
did before they were born. And every once and while
they're flipping through a channel and they'll see me on something.

Speaker 4 (56:21):
And they're like, oh, yeah, that's right, my mom was
an actor. They don't care. They really don't care, honestly.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
And yeah, I was just gonna say the way Tim
and I would brag if like our moms.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
From the Mountaintop.

Speaker 4 (56:38):
I guess, I guess, but I do.

Speaker 5 (56:41):
I did take Milow to the anniversary convention or whatever
in where was that in Lexington, like two years ago,
and he was so shocked that I had a line
of people waiting to get my autograph. He could not
wrap his head around it. He was like, this movie's

(57:02):
so old. Why do people care? I don't get it.
And I'm like, I don't know. It's this is in
the lexicon, this is a this is a classic, like
it just I just keep watching all these new horror
movies come out that are so great, and then I think, Okay,
well we're going to be done soon, Like nobody.

Speaker 4 (57:21):
There's so many good movies now right that. But it
doesn't dwindle.

Speaker 5 (57:26):
And I guess it's just because it's Friday the thirteenth
or Halloween. You know, there's only a couple, yeah, that
you can name like that, And so I just I'm like,
are people still going to care ten years from now?

Speaker 3 (57:37):
Yes? Yeah, yes they know.

Speaker 5 (57:40):
Because there'll be other horror movies that have part one, two, three,
four that people grew up on.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
Yeah, but these, yeah, I don't think it matters.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
I think there's certain like you said, Halloween, Friday the Thirteenth,
Nightmare on Elm Street, at least L three Scream, which
came out a little later, that like, no matter what
I think, are still going to be popular. And what
I wanted to know from you. How does it feel
thirty six years years later after this movie being one
of the final girls in a franchise as beloved as
Friday the Thirteenth.

Speaker 4 (58:07):
Oh my goodness. Well, I think it's an honor and
I think it's pretty cool. And I hadn't really I was.

Speaker 5 (58:19):
Excited to do when we were doing it, but I
could have never imagined this, And I just want the
fans to know that, Like I, when people come up
to me, I really you know, I want to see
their collection and I want to hear how they got
into it, and I want to hear what they think
about it.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
And so you're never bothering me, you know, I just
want to share it.

Speaker 5 (58:44):
I want to share the love and clothe people in
my ugly vest and in my crew jacket. And you know,
there's a lot of people who this is a huge
part of their social life. This was something that made
them feel like part of a group and maybe when
they were growing up it you know, took them out

(59:05):
of hard circumstances, even just for two hours or whatever.
But there's a lot of stories and like, I'm here
for that, you know, like that's important.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
That's awesome.

Speaker 4 (59:15):
The unity is important, no matter how you find it.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
Exactly is a I mean, obviously Matt and I go
to we don't go to that many horror conventions, but
when we do, it's like, oh my goodness, Like everyone
loves the telling their stories of when they saw Jason
Takes Manhattan. Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
And it's great to see. I mean, now we've I
think you are the twenty third person from the Friday
the Thirteenth franchise that we've had on the show. And
so we can come to these these conventions at least
a Friday the Thirteenth ones, and some of the people
actually remember us and know it works really cool.

Speaker 4 (59:50):
I mean, of course, how would we not remember you?

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Oh well, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
So we just have a few last questions before we
wrap up and away from Friday the thirteen. Because this
isn't horror related, But Tim and I are huge Melrose
Place fans, and you had a pretty sizeable guest starring
role on the very the second episode of this show
in nineteen ninety two. You played Marcy, a girl that
Billy was dating, and you came on a little too strong.

(01:00:15):
But what was it like being on this iconic primetime soap?

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (01:00:20):
Okay, So, first of all, I knew so many people
that were on it just by chance. I knew Courtney
Thornsmith before because we auditioned all the time.

Speaker 4 (01:00:29):
We had some mutual friends.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
She totally mentions that on her podcast she told me
to me, yeah, it's episode two of What's Still the Place.
Courtney thorn Smith says that she ran into a lot
auditioning and stuff, and she said that you played the part.
Because they recapped the episode. She said that she thought
you were a great actress and she loves at the
ending just how like you, just like because you're obsessed

(01:00:52):
with Billy. You just kind of go like, Okay, it's over,
or like it's so how quickly it wraps up?

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
Yeah, she's she's so cool. She's so cool.

Speaker 5 (01:01:02):
And there were just I mean, yeah, anyway, there were
a lot of people. I was dating somebody at the time,
and one of his best friends was on it, and I.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
Mean it just felt like I felt so at.

Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
Home instantly, Andrew shot like, couldn't be lovelier. Obviously, He's
exactly what you imagine and so sweet.

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
It was great.

Speaker 5 (01:01:22):
I was like, they need to bring her back, they
need to bring Marsie back.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
I agree, because I had a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
Of fun with that role. That was really out of
the box.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
You know what's funny about so Melrose Place, as you know,
like at the first season was tame and then it
just went batchelor crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
But like they would bring.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
Random people and oh my god, if they I wish
they brought Marsie back as like a homicidal maniac or something.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
Yeah, because all he really says is like I don't
love you, and you're like, okay, like you weren't crazy,
So I mean, but Melo's Place is so crazy. So
it was interesting that they the way they did that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
That's so cool.

Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
You also guess out on a bunch of other ninety
shows like Home Improvement, Step by Step, Will and Grace.
Of all your TV appearances, which stands out the most
for you or you're the most proud of?

Speaker 4 (01:02:11):
Ooh? Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:02:13):
So I did a show called Medicine Ball that was
on for a season and I was the lead of
that with an amazing cast.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
I still speak to a few of those people, and.

Speaker 5 (01:02:27):
That was probably the best television I've ever done, to
be honest.

Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
It was funny and smart. It was it was so quirky.

Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
But we came out the same year as Er in Chicago, Hope,
and we just got buried. We were like the third
on Fox. It was on Fox, and we just got buried.
But that was probably my favorite show to film. Other
than that, I would say I did like a year
on The Single Guy or a season on The Single Guy,
and that cast was wonderful.

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
I loved shooting it.

Speaker 5 (01:02:58):
I loved being in front of a live audio, which
I really didn't have that much. I mean, I had
done Home Improvement like for I don't know season or whatever,
but to be.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
On it every week, week after week.

Speaker 5 (01:03:10):
I loved it so much, and all those people were
wonderful to work with.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Jonathan Silverman, right.

Speaker 4 (01:03:18):
Yeah, Jonathan Silverman.

Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
And then those producers went on to do Will and Grace,
and for Will and Grace, it got down to me
and her for Grace at Network.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
Yes, And that's why.

Speaker 5 (01:03:31):
I ended up being on Will and Grace because they
asked me back to come back and play some.

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
Weird version of her.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
Yes, I'm just going to s and.

Speaker 4 (01:03:38):
I was like, sure, whatever, And I've never seen that episode,
by the way.

Speaker 5 (01:03:47):
No, I think that's the worst work I've ever done.
I'm pretty sure because I was filming it, I was like, oh,
this is bad. I think I was like just in
my head because of the whole you know, the whole
situation was so weird.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
Is this When they said bring in Nancy mccannon.

Speaker 4 (01:04:06):
That was something else. I don't even remember that. That
was like not a big.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
They're like, we're going to keep you in the hotel
where the cast is, but bring in your replacement, just
like a no.

Speaker 4 (01:04:16):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
You know, we also love Horror Connections and we saw
that you were in the nineteen ninety eight romantic comedy
telling You with Jennifer Love youw from I Note What
You Did Last summer, Gina Phillips from Jeepers Creepers, and
Matthew Lillard from Scream. So any fun stories from working
with these other horror stars on that movie.

Speaker 4 (01:04:34):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (01:04:36):
I in if my memory serves me right, I think
I had a pretty small role in that. I think
I was only there a few days, so I didn't
really and I'm pretty sure I was only working with men.
Oh okay, so I met her and I had met
her before, but yeah I did.

Speaker 4 (01:04:56):
I don't think I worked with her at all. I
can barely remember what I late in that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
I just want to say when when they started promoting
Medicine Ball and like you were wearing like the white
jacket and walking they did like the slow strut down,
I was like, oh my god, it's the girl from
Jason Digs Manhattan. Totally. I watched all Now I.

Speaker 4 (01:05:17):
Know I got it. Man, if you go back to
that cast, it was really good.

Speaker 5 (01:05:22):
It was so good. It came back as Gray's Anatomy.
I mean that is the exact show. It came back
years later. Some of the scenes are the same, it's
in Seattle like we were. It was like, it's almost
exactly the same show. So it was now if you
didn't see it, you have essentially seen it. If you've
watched Great Anatomy.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
That's so funny. And then of course we wanted to know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
I mean, I know you stopped acting a while ago
and went into well, you're a green home builder.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
Is that correct? Is that the right?

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
So can you tell us a little bit about that
and what you do, because I read that you've like
built homes that have been featured in magazines and things.

Speaker 4 (01:05:59):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:06:01):
So while I was studying at Selah Adler, I was
taking I was studying architecture at UCLA, which I never
finished because I started working as an actor and I.

Speaker 4 (01:06:10):
Was like, oh, maybe I'll go back to that one day.
But the whole time I was filming, I was restoring
old homes, like in Los Phielis and in the Hollywood Hills,
mostly like nineteen twenty Spanish homes, and I loved it
so much.

Speaker 5 (01:06:22):
I felt much more comfortable at a job site with
a bunch of like plumbers and electricians than I did
on sound stages.

Speaker 4 (01:06:31):
Always, and I.

Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
Would like look forward to the end of my shooting
day so that I could like go and see what was,
you know, being accomplished and all of that.

Speaker 4 (01:06:40):
And so when I had kids.

Speaker 5 (01:06:43):
I was it was like right after I shot Major
League three and I had just been gone from my
fiance at the time for like two months, and then
we got married and I got pregnant, and I was like,
what am I going to do, like leave for two
months with an infant and then my son doesn't get
to be with his kids.

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Am I Am I going to leave my kids? No way?

Speaker 5 (01:07:06):
So I decided to put acting, which was the only
job I'd ever really known, and so that was a
little scary. But I went into buying land and designing
homes from the ground up, and then I contract them
and I get them built, and then I furnish them
and I.

Speaker 4 (01:07:25):
Sell them and so or I'll restore old homes.

Speaker 5 (01:07:29):
But I do use green materials and try to do
it as sustainably as possible. And some of the homes
I've done have been almost completely off grid.

Speaker 4 (01:07:43):
With sisters. Nobody cares about this, so whatever, Yes, that's
that's what I do now, and I love it.

Speaker 5 (01:07:55):
And I did live in the Palisades before the Big
Palisades fire, and so now I have kind of put
that aside, and now what I'm doing is rebuilding a
lot of my friends homes, designing them from the ground
up and helping them find contractors.

Speaker 4 (01:08:13):
To build.

Speaker 5 (01:08:14):
And so the last I would say since January, my
whole life is about getting my own home rebuilt and
rebuilding lots of people's homes in the Palacy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
That's really nice, like a very I mean really nice
because I know there was so much damage into so
many people's houses that that's yeah, they're very appreciative, but yeah, great,
and yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
We are acher because it's like, just like horror fans.

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
We always say this that like as soon as they
see you and fall in love with you in a
horror movie, they want to follow your entire career, whether
you're building green homes or taken on more villains. So
it's nice to hear about that, and especially if that's
what brought you joy and you felt more comfortable doing,
then you did made the right decision.

Speaker 4 (01:08:59):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
I'm always so excited when I see a fright thirteenth factor,
like in Medicine Ball or Amy Steele like on you know, whatever,
whoever's starring on whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
I'm like family time.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
I'm like, oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (01:09:11):
It's so true. And can I just say Amy Steele
Like she's such.

Speaker 5 (01:09:15):
A superstar, She's such a rock star, Like she's so badass,
and when I see her, I'm just like, I don't know,
there's something about her that is just like this quiet
confidence and she's just amazing, like to this day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
And down to earth, like we were looking to have
her on the show also, and she just seems real,
you know, like she's not putting on any fake face.
She's just herself and it refreshing. But so are you?

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
You're about the same.

Speaker 5 (01:09:47):
I think most of the final girls have been pretty cool.
You know, it's not part nine. I think her name's Kimberly, right,
Kerrie Keegan, Mary, I'm sorry, Kimberly is right. I forgot
what part Kimberly is. Yeah, so Carrie Keegan. She's hysterically funny,
Yeah she is?

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
Is? I think she's still hot? Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:10:07):
Of course you guys are so all of you guys
have you looked at them? Marry late look?

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
Okay, So I have to ask you if the Powers
that be ever wanted you to reprise the role of Rennie,
and like, let's say a new Friday the Thirteenth film.

Speaker 5 (01:10:25):
Of course I would, of course I would. It's been
so long. I've started missing acting. I've been away from
it for so long. I'm like, maybe I could go
back as.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
The grandmother when I have my final kid out of
the house. Maybe I can.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
Just too young, I'm way too young.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
But we like, that's so nice to hear you say that,
because so many fans of these films want to see
these final girls back. I mean, I'm just not sure
why they I know, there's been tons of stuff with
the rights, and now they're doing a prequel TV show,
but at some point there will be a new movie.
And I'm just wondering with all these new like legacy movies,
bet coming back, Jamie Lee Curtis comes back in Halloween, Like, let's.

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Bring Rennie back in Friday the thirteenth, I mean all
of us.

Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
And by the way, we're dropping like flies. TikTok. There's
not a lot of time, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
Yeah, no, I know, it's like see me.

Speaker 4 (01:11:19):
Ten years from now. Okay, that's yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:11:25):
I think you're right, and I think they should do
it soon and I think it would be hysterically funny
to watch also and scary and all those things.

Speaker 4 (01:11:35):
And Cain could probably still play Jason.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
I bet he could, and that would be great, and
that would be amazing. We have so we have our
one final question for you, Okay Jensen, And we asked
this to everyone at the end of our interviews. It
kind of puts you on the spot a little bit.
But what is one thing you can tell us about
your experience working on Friday the Thirteenth, Part A Jason
Takes Manhattan that you've never told any other interview, were

(01:12:00):
any convention Q and A and replications that you didn't
tell Tim Mrkovich. Just one thing, and it doesn't have
to be like the biggest gossipy thing unless you want.

Speaker 3 (01:12:09):
It can be the tiniest thing, like you know, behind
the scenes the pants.

Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
Yeah, but just one thing that you've never told about
your experience working on this film.

Speaker 5 (01:12:21):
Oh God, that's hard, Okay, Well, I don't I don't
think i've really discussed that I was dating Gordon Curry,
who is in that movie The Blonde.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
Who's the Blond?

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Yeah, he has a quick death like he's playing.

Speaker 5 (01:12:36):
I was dating Gordon Curry, and he was a local
Vancouver actor that had just done some great stuff and
he's honestly one of the sweetest people. He's out there
somewhere whatever, and he's he.

Speaker 4 (01:12:50):
Was just this great guy.

Speaker 5 (01:12:51):
And we dated that whole time, and then he moved
to la and we dated for a little bit after that,
and then we went our separate ways. But he uh, anyway,
So I was shooting and in a relationship with one
of my co stars and sometimes spending the night in
his apartment in Vancouver instead of my hotel.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
That is awesome. Wait did you guys meet on the set?

Speaker 5 (01:13:19):
Yeah, we started dating I think a few weeks later,
and I honestly can't I can't even remember how that
came about. I think we were all hanging out as
a cast and he's just one of the best people,
and yeah, it got.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
Romantic, and I know what happened.

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
Wait did Scott Reeves?

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:13:39):
No, no, everybody on set, now, everybody on set new.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
I know he approached you with the necklace of the
statue of the Statue of Liberty.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
He's like, why can't I make it to New York
with you guys?

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
But he actually lasts longer than motheh.

Speaker 4 (01:13:57):
I think it was. I think wasn't. He did die
pretty early on.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
It was pretty I mean, like, well, first off, the
amazing thing about Jason takes Manhutan is Jason is everywhere,
and like I was like, how did Jason, he's a
big how did he get up so quickly to pull
that guy, your your boyfriend at the time, throw him down?
He's like he dies instantly.

Speaker 4 (01:14:18):
Yeah, it's so crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:14:20):
What I remember about his character more than anything is like, well,
two things and his like he had like a Beatles
blonde mob.

Speaker 4 (01:14:27):
I don't know who.

Speaker 5 (01:14:28):
Came up with that idea. And then the second thing
is like some purple sweatshirt. This is what I think
about when I think of his characters, Like it's some
purple sweatshirt through the whole thing. But anyway, he was,
he was lovely. Gordon, if you're out there, I wish
you all the best.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
He's our number one happy Horror Time listener.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love hearing stuff like that because
I didn't know that, did you know?

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
I didn't know?

Speaker 3 (01:14:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
I love I love it, and also like it makes sense,
especially when you are young and you're meeting people in
a setting where you're spending a ton of time with them.
Of course, oh yeah, to be you know, romances and
things like that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
But we're Charlene and Kelly. Hugh means you you can tell.

Speaker 4 (01:15:07):
Us Oh no, no, no, no, not at all.

Speaker 5 (01:15:11):
They were so great I think, I mean, he became
friends with Kelly for quite a while, Like you know,
I think we kept in touch for quite a while.
She's lovely. Honestly, the whole cast was lovely. I mean
Peter Mark Richmand was like the most sort of standoffish
and you know, reserved, but he was decades older than us,

(01:15:35):
and apparently he was much warmer to Barbara Bingham than
to us. I think in us he just kept a
very parental you know, and he was he was.

Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
He was super.

Speaker 5 (01:15:46):
Professional and always nice, but just a little more reserved.
And everybody else.

Speaker 4 (01:15:50):
Was just like.

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
Maybe he was also trying to stay in character. His
character is awful that he's just so upful to you especially,
He's really bad, but true. This has been so much fun, Jensen,
thank you so much for taking me. No are you kidding?
