Rory, How Much Do you Like this Person? (Part 2)

twelve days old, it's a very new baby. So we're just brand new exactly. Couldn't be more excited. And and and two thousand two is yet to spit up on me? Right or poop or p on me. It hasn't done that yet. Actually it has because I got COVID, so yeah it has. Yeah. Yeah. It was saying it was going to be that bad boyfriend that goes just give me another chance, because we already gave it, like two chances, you know one, all right, this is the it. Yeah, I'm sorry you got that. Did you get the O

macron or did you get the um? I don't know, I don't know which one it was, but it wasn't It wasn't terribly bad, you know, it was just it was just, um, it was just fatigue, a lot of fatigue. Yes it was. It was on a chess called you know, head cold It will turned into a chess called. My friend posted a thing that said, um that O Macron. The people who haven't gotten COVID. It's like you're playing a dodgeball game and that front line is really thinned out.

Just like I saw people. You know, I got to see people this Christmas. It was different than last Christmas. I got to hang out with I saw Sally. It was great and she um, oh, it was so much fun. And I hadn't seen her since we were on your on your podcast. You so hard. That's the part that I miss is seeing people and get I'm trying to bring people together. Yes, that's great, saving people's mental Get everybody together for God's sake. You know. We had very

exciting news this morning. I'm just gonna tell you because it just happened that the show I'm doing on HBO Max Has I'm very proud of won the Golden Globe on Sunday, and I was like, oh, this pandemic one one Golden Globe for Best Comedy, and we didn't have Emmy's. The cast couldn't go to the Emmys this year because the pandemic. The Golden Globe didn't happen because other things. And this morning the Screen Actors Guild nominations came out and we got a nomination for Best Entomble. I'm very

very you are you going to the party. They're gonna help. It's February, the series regular on the show. Yeah, I've got to be Like the article came out the nine ensemble players, and I thought, oh, my character numbers eight. I just got in there. Look at you go. Good for you. Congratulation you very much. I'm so proud of it. It's such a good show. I just love it. I love I would love it even if I wasn't on it.

I mean, I sometimes don't even want to know the scripts because I want to just enjoy it like that, right, That's how I was with Gilmore. I watched all Gilmore like a fan, you know, I really I loved it like a fan. But people know that show. People know our show's got so much better than I do. Like they'll refer to episodes that I was in and I'm like, that sounds vaguely familiar, and I don't know what they're talking Remember you were sitting at the diner in your

face and Laure like down. I was like, I don't. I want to remember as well as they do, but I don't remember. Yeah, I know they know a chapter in verse and they when I do conventions and I meet people, they talk out the scenes and the episodes, and I have no idea what they're talking about. I feel so bad, I go, I am so grateful. He almost wanted I almost wanted to rewatch it. Like when he told me about coming on and talking about it,

I was like, Suld, I need to rewatch. Well, at least should rewatch the ones I'm in song know what I'm talking about? Well, this one, I mean, I tell you what these you know this episode. We just did a whole hour on the episode. Right your debut, your debut with Richard and Dean. Right your your debut was fantastic. It was funny, you stole the scene, um and uh, you know, it was just this perfect episode from beginning

to end. And I had to give it a thumbs down because because it was such a downer, it left me so empty because Richard was so out of his element without a job, and he's being a pain in the acid and he has no purpose in life anymore. And it's like, why did they destroy the character to this ext didn't really again, you got to watch the g you do. Oh, I have to watch it again because my memory of it is just like, oh, it

was so much fun. I was so nervous because I got to meet him and he's from Michigan, and Michigan and we get to talk and both of them were so tall, and you know, I just remember like scripheral things about it, and I just remember thinking, this is so exciting. It's my first day and I want to do well. And I knew I had to go fast because Amy likes everything fast. Yeah, it's an extraordinary show. It's just an extraordinary show, and it's so well crafted.

But um, you know, you, I really now see how they hook everybody. I see now why people watch these episodes over and over and over and over again because people say things. I'm sure they say it to you that it's very comforting, like when they are out in the world and doing their whole thing, when they get to come home and just go to stars Hollow and be with the people. And I found that experience during

the pandemic. I watched It's Creek and I thought, this must be how people felt about Stars Hollow, Like you just love the easiness of this just a certain finite group of people. It's not like there's not a lot of electronics and there's no spies and it's just like a comforting family. I'm just I'm different. I watch strange things to get comfort. I just comfort, you know, I'll watch you know, relaxes you like ad Astro with Brad Pitt.

You know he goes out to the space. Yeah, it's like a lot of people have told me that's the most dank, remote, dark thing they've ever seen, and they didn't like it. It gives me great comfort. That relaxes you. It does because I know there's an artist out there who's a huge superstar, who's making non commercial choices, doing the type of work he wants to do. It gives

me great comfort. Interest it does. I'm so happy to see an artist not you know, selling out all over the point and name something else that you just could watch just to relax, like mindless stuff to relaxt like I love watching things like Project Runway because I love watching people create things. No, no, gosh, I don't watch reality shows. Um. You know, there was a there was a show on that I really relaxed me called Billions. It was on Showtime with Damian Lewis, Damian Lewis and

Paul Giamatti and Maggie Seth Um. Yes, and I thought the show suffered when she left. She was the wife of of Damian Lewis, who was the lead character. He was the venture capital guy, the hedge fund guy. Um. But when when her character left, he lost his moral center, and I thought this show really suffered. Yeah. Um, and I Succession. I love that show Succession. I know Brian Brian as an old friend, Brian Cox, and I haven't seen it. You kind of have to watch all of them. No,

I want to check it out. I'm gonna check it out. But you know, I just I have very odd you know, like I watched Fury last night. You know, it's a or film, and it relaxed me. You're relaxed with space, outer space and and fighting. I don't know, you know, it's and it's not necessarily that I'm obsessed with Brad Pitt, it's just I like the films that he chooses to do because those would be the films that he is interesting. I think he's one of the more interesting people to

come along in the history of the business. I yeah, I've loved Once upon a Time at Hollywood. Absoluutely brilliant choice. Yeah, and I thought I liked that they did it that way because they could have given they could have reversed those roles, like given Leo, you know, wondered if that was ever on the table where he could have been the other guy. I don't know. I don't know. I I think when you're at that level, Yeah, they kind of give you a choice, like you guys work it out,

what do you like to do to do next? Like you had this big long stint as this romantic lead. You know, what's the thing that you go? Yeah, I really to do that that People would be like, really, do you have a thing? People ask me that, and I'm like, I mean, I want to play. I would like to speak in my own voice and not have an accent to Yeah. I think I like the less is more type of stuff. I like the nonverbal acting. I like the physical the physicality of a character. I like.

I like, you know, the outsider, the something that's unexpected, something that's not necessarily Terrence Malicky, but you know along those lines, you know what I mean, like a little existential, little little out there, you know, because you don't see that a lot, and they don't make those films anymore, and they do if they do, you know who sees them and when when you get a chance to see them, and they're just so buried deep in the business and and you really have to unearth them. Um. I like

those kinds of films, like foreign films. I missed the experience of watching a movie in a dark room a bunch of other people. I think it really changes the experience. Then when you're just on your couch and you pause it and you go to the bathroom, like it's not the same thing. It's I try and get myself ready for a viewing and just sit there and watch. I think. I think that there are some films that are suited for public exposure and some films that aren't. And I

don't think it really matters. And I really the last, the last film that I had a real experience in a communal experience with an audience which was hugely impactful. And you know, the electricity was amazing. Was pulp fiction? Oh yeah, I saw I saw it, and I saw it near the Beverly Center. There's a theater across the street from the Beverly Center and everybody was like a Friday night and it was a debut and it was like, oh my god, everybody was so excited by this film.

What a great one to see with It was electric. The whole the whole film was electric. Yes, yeah, that's the last time I had one of these great experience. Yeah. I had that with six cents and I knew nothing about the movie and it was packed. There wasn't a seat to be had in the theater and people were all like, you know, and I love the fact that this show, Like when we were doing this show, we had no idea that it would be like now they're streaming it so you can watch it over and over.

You know, you think, like, you watch it and then it's gone. Maybe if you're a huge fan, you buy the vcur tapes or whatever. But but for this to last this long, I was really thinking about it. I met people that are a mother, the daughter and the daughter. So it's like the Rory, the Lorelai and the Emily like that many generations. And these kids are eleven and twelve years old. Oh we love it. Rewarding to be in something that people love for that many years. It's

it's just, you know, it's one of those things. I mean, what a fluke, What a fluke that any of us got that job, you know, because at that time, you know, at that time they were they were giving movie stars, the movie stars were crossing over into television because they weren't making as many movies, right, So that in two thousand that was kind of like a thing. It was becoming a thing. I thought, I don't have a chance

for this. This scripts too good. They're gonna get you know, Benjamin Bratt, They'll get somebody, They'll get a movie guy. They'll they'll get Dermott, mulrooney, will be Luke or some you know, somebody's it's not gonna be perfect timing, perfect history. And then the fact that it was c W, Like I used to tell people were like, what channel is it? Like they just didn't. I'm just so grateful for like Netflix, and just the fact that it's found like a new

generation of fans. I guess I say this every time, but I still can't believe it odd that it ended up there. Yeah, and people ask me all the time, well will they do one? And I thought, you know what I picture like, well, what about like a Christmas movie? You know, like I think there should be I know you're in the life was like maybe finished. It felt like Amy felt like she finished. She finished it the way she wants to finish it. But I felt like

finished it off. One morether be like one more little. I wish there was like one more little, just a Christmas movie, just to see what everybody's doing. How about a wedding? Wish? Yeah? How about given that you know, listen, this is this is this is low hanging fruit here, but I'm gonna pick it. Uh. You know, the fans now, they've waited for twenty one years, twenty two years for a wedding, and I think they deserve a wedding, big fat, harry bulbous whole town in which is crazy wedding. That's

what they need. That would be fun and a lot of all the side stories that go along with plants wedding. The whole town prepared for it, we can Luke and Laurela big fat wedding. It's a big fat, stars hollow wedding. Maybe you know, Rory could have a wedding too, Maybe she could marry the baby daddy. Who the he double? Yeah, why not? Why not? I'm in. That's why I love the name of your show. I'm all in. I said that. I said, my the one time you fly without makeup.

I was coming back from doing Barb and Star go to Vista del Mar, another plug for a movie that I did that I think is so funny. And I'm coming back from Albuquerque and this guy goes Rose Rose Due and I thought, I don't know you, and he's got a TMZ camera and he's like, what do you think of doing? I don't even know what the question was, but I know I answered while I'm in, while I'm in, so that it came. It was across the Kiran was like, well, I'm in Gypsy where they would do any kind of

maybe it was a wedding. I don't even know what his question was. I was still floored, but I thought, yeah, that would be fun to do one more thing. You know, I don't want anyone to think like most of the cast would be into it. I think I don't know. Yeah, I mean, look in the great tradition of Michael Chimino and The Deer Hunter and and Francis Ford Copele and

The Godfather. Let's just do a huge wed and that will be the opening scene, and it will be the only scene, and it'll just go on and on and on. I love The Godfather. I don't care if people criticize Three. I love any time I get a glimpse of those characters I'm in. I don't care what they're doing. I really don't. I uh, I love. Yeah, Three is watchable, it's entertaining. Yeah, you have to know the people, though. You can't just jump in on three. You sure, sure?

But I mean those those first two are so extraordinary, my god, yeah, just what those are my favorite movie. I think Goodfellas in The Godfather are my fan, don't you get I get famished every time I watch Good Fellas, when they're when they're when when they're cutting the garlic in prison like that, in the close ups and the bread you got the bread now we can eat, pour the wine. I just I get famished every time I

watch the film. Is that if you don't have the right amount of pasta and bread in your house before you start the movie or any Sopranos episodes, you acts even doesn't Gilmore make people so hungry they eat constantly? That's what I realized checking in on a couple episodes. They're always eating away. I get that. I have never gotten hungry watching the episode, probably because you you were intimately aware of everything that was going on. I'm just

too busy analyzing them. But I guess they crave pop tarts and food and Chinese food everything. They ordered so much food they do right, Oh my god. I have a friend, Christie Carlson did a cookbook, Eat Like a Gilmore. She made a cook series of cookbooks and did every recipes based on the different scenes of the show, and it is so wonderful. It's just really a cool and I think a lot of people have many people have

ordered at Christie Carlson Eat Like a Gilmore. But I think that's so like a testament to how cool the show was that the fans even want to eat the food that we ate in the show. You know what, I think that should be a new segment for the the episodes when we hand we should do a food segment because you're right. Yeah, you're right, So we should have a regular food section and a junk food because it's like junk food is predominant in this show. Yeah.

Remember when we did the reboot and the big giant table read. You were there, weren't It was a huge table of course, they had every snack. Do you remember that? And nobody was eating. I was the only person with a little plate. I kept looking around like this is for us, right, I mean when we did that when we were up in the Black Cube at Warner Brothers. Yeah, and the executive in the executive suite, right, welcome everybody.

They had the cake and the pop tarts and the wild I was the only with some embarrassed but I'm like, there's a lot of good food. I didn't I was eating. I ate had some food. I had, yeah, tuna fish, sandwich, I had ship I was. I was looking around like, God, no one but me is eating all of this food. As I used to come into those table roots and reads and just stack up on the food. I did

because I didn't really have very many lines in the beginning. Okay, maybe I just didn't notice your plate because I was like, why is no one eating but me? I'm glad down and then I you know, I put some in my bag when I laughed, are you kidnt me? I love that food. I love crafty food. I love when people that's the thing that's gone from working, like that's got that. That was one of the favorite things. Like remember the coffee truck. There would be like Amy and Dan would

get us a coffee truck. People would be interested in that, right because coffee is such a big part of the show. So we loved it when they would call second Team because we would meet over at the coffee truck. And I loved that this type of working. Now with the pandemic, you can't hang out with people. You're not supposed to be close to anybody. You've got to send somebody to Craft Service. I was like, this has changed the whole thing.

That's where we hung out the snack truck. Especially for the revival, there was the snack Barn and then the snack truck. Remember right right now, right no more that there was a craft service truck and we'd always go in there and make a play. Now that's all gone now, that to me was one of the biggest parts of the joyment. Yeah, and now you can't do that. Pandemic has ruined that. Come on into the truck, make yourself

a sandwich. Yeah, having a job. Do you remember the episode where we did in the Revival when it was dinner time and Burda made that weird mush burn made like a food that was you all had to eat. You had to eat it, and Laura and Lauren and Rory it was like a mush like that. They go, it's kind of crunchy but kind of peanuty but kind of smushy. But they couldn't figure out what it was and I had to keep serving it. Remember that, I

don't remember it disgusting. You had to eat it, and I was just like, it's requiring no acting on your part to pretend you don't like it. It was fun, but I liked anything like I love the Revival because I got to go inside the buildings. Like to me, Gypsy was always outdoors or the town meeting or whatever. But I love playing Burda because to be in the Gilmour House to me was the most right right right it Yeah there, oh yeah, yeah, I like that was a pleasant set. The Gilmore House was a great set

because you could do so much in there. You could do the living room, you could do the kitchen stuff, you could do the four year stuff, you could do outside. Um, they had it all set up and it kind of looked real. Did you love your dinner? Did you love being in your dinner? I did? Yeah I did. Yeah. That was that was my office, man, that was my place. I loved it. I felt like, okay, you know it's I kind of felt like I was doing my own show within the show in there. It's like Luke's place,

you know that kind of thing. My my fantasies were running a muck. I was going to get my own show. Um. But yeah, no, I love it and the Netflix. The way they built it was it was much brighter colors. Everything was new. This floor was very spongey because the sound apartment obviously gave them no it's like make it so we don't have to do so much looping so that so the floor was super spongy. Yeah, it's right. We loved it because I love the signs, like, uh,

it's so him to be like no man buns. I just remember reading it thinking people are gonna love this sun because that's where we would hang out during break The chairs, the cast chairs were in the diner exactly they were, weren't they a lot of the time. Just remember riding in a golf cart with lights on it around Stars Hollow at night and thinking people would give anything for this experience, like it was so magical and so much fun, and it was like, this is such

a I wish this town was real. We had more real estate than anybody on that lot by by a long shot. We had the entire back lot. All of that real estate was ours that was Stars Hollow. Plus we had the sound stages too. I wanted to ask you this. Remember in the winter carnival, like I was thinking, it's people probably go, you're living California. I do you have a scarfunt? I'm always cold. My house is just cold.

I don't know why we have the heat on. It's called when you see fake snow because they had a whole winter carnival, but the way they made it was cold. It tricks you into thinking I'm cold. Do you get that when you look at like you're in the midst of the snow is not real? But I'm cold because I'm I'm visually and I think, and what's that visual to that I'm sending my brain of, like, but I'm looking at snow. Therefore I'm cold. I was cold. I'm

never cold. I'm always running hot. It doesn't matter. I am never my I'm my motors running to I'm always sweating, I'm always I'm always taking clothes off. Just all right, I don't like he's always taking clothes off. Very interesting, but I was thinking like that it was so fun to be in like Winter Carnival and then from all and I don't know, I like a show with a change of seasons, and it just makes me the whole show makes me miss the East Coast, you know. Yeah,

did you grow up there? Are you? Are you California? Michigan? So Michigan's Yeah, it's very four season Yeah, me too. I tell you, though, I could do without the winters. You know. I just had an experience, well, you know, we go away, we go to Colorado every winter for the holidays and we ski and but it's so cold, and I think this is the first time that I realized, like, I don't know if I want to do this cold for a whole winter. Yeah. So it's like I kind

of appreciate California a little more. It's like, oh, because you know, look, I was having lunch yesterday out by my pool. It was seventy degrees so January seven, they're not doing this in Colorado right now. They're all freezing. There took uses, and that's what would make to me the pandemic lockdown even harder. Not be able to eat outside and like that. So I see why the show has become even more popular, just like I need more

escapist entertainment, you know, unbelievable. Unbelievable yea. So well, well let's get into some of these fan questions. Uh, what did you think of Gypsy the first time you read your script? This is from Holly from North Carolina From Raleigh, North Carolina. Thanks Holly, I love that question. What did you What do you think of Gypsy the first time you retiscript? I thought, I just knew I wanted her to be in a denim shirt, and I knew I had to wear a big watch. I don't know why

I needed to audition with a big watch. She would have a big one. So I thought the way she said in that first scene that you were talking about Richard and Stars hollow. I can't look at this car anymore. I missed my home. I missed my home. Made me believe she's from another country because she didn't say I

missed being. I don't know what it was about. I missed my home, and I thought, and I went to the audition and there was a lot of really talented people there, and I thought, I don't think any of them are going to do it with an accent. And at the last minute, I just decided, she has an accent. She has an accent, and I'm going to make her from an indeterminate origin. She's a gypsy. Maybe that's why they named her gypsy. She's from a village. She's for

romani gypsy. And then I thought that a co mechanic would be like and I now, I think it's politically incorrect to say gypsy, But to me, she's gypsy, you know, like it's not it wasn't she she's a traveler name another name for gypsies are travelers, that's right, right? So I was thinking, Okay, it's Hughes Brothers. But she works there. How does she come to So I just thought I need her to come from a village that no one can figure out where she's from. And that's how I

felt about it right away. And I can't look at this car anymore. I heard it in my head, like I can't look at this car anymore. And so then I didn't like right right right. But the other people at the audition were not. It was not considered like, it didn't put out In other words, the breakdown didn't say she's of ethnic origin. No, it didn't say anything. It was just gypsy. So I was really thrilled. And what was the room like when you got there? Who

was there? Was it Gavin and Amy and Lesson Lincoln Gladder? Yes? And Amy. I remember she goes, okay, now do exactly what you did, but three times faster. Every feedback I'd ever gotten and any audition was rose, please slow down, please slow down, and I have no interesting I would always be like, I don't talk too fast. You listen to flow. You know. I love talking. So that was really exciting to me. And then later I found out she had pinned me for a pilot called Love and War.

I didn't know that she worked on it, and so I thought, oh, she was already a little bit familiar. But before that, when the other casting department, another whole other casting company was casting the first season. Um, the auditioned me for Suki. Really, yes, that's interesting, Yeah, that's interesting. They said she's clutsy. So I went in. I sculped miniature food out of clay, and I knew she was a chef, so I brought my clay. Well, it overshadowed

my audition. The casting victors were like, oh my gosh, and like I go, well, I don't cook, but I make tiny food. And then it just became like all about the tiny food and I for these people again, and then I didn't get it, and Melissa was so perfect for it, so I was like, oh, and then there wasn't Melissa. It wasn't Melissa's as they cast, that was right, and I had done good Night and good luck with her, so I knew her. And I was like, oh,

they gil more girls. That ship has sale. Then the second season, because I don't think Gypsy's even I'm not even in the first season, right fansom, But second season, yes, second So that was cool that they thought they remembered me and thought of, oh, maybe she could play this part. Um. So here's another question. Okay, this is from This is

from Mary Beth from Sacramento. Gypsy has two pigtails. Did the hair department make the choice to keep Gypsy's hair in pigtails or was that your choice that was do? Did it? Here was my thinking, I know you'll totally understand this. I am that actor. Now I've turned into that actor that's like that girl who was in that thing. I was so excited to get more than one episode.

I went, I want people to write away, no, it's me, like I didn't think, well, I want to make everything memorable, like it's a cartoon, Like you always know that that's that's her. There's no changes for sure. I remember her from the other one. So because I recurred, then I'd go for a couple episodes, you wouldn't see me, then you'd see me again. I wanted it to be the same. But I made the choice for the audition to where

two pigtails just because I don't know. I just thought she'd have two pigtails because she's an auto mechanic and she needs no nonsense hair do. But that was my idea, and I loved it because, as you know, I always say this in this business. If you don't like to

be touched all day long. You can't be a television actor because they touch you and they touch you, and so it was very nice to have a low maintenance thing where they didn't have to keep readjusting it right right right, Um, this is from Oh we got Jeffrey from Salt Lake City. We got a guy all right? Uh. Favorite gypsy moment. One of them was a scene that I don't know if it's ended up in the big you know. Final thing was the bachelorette party with Emily.

And it's for Emily's bachelorette party when I go, please make your mother stop talking to me. So we're on the couch. It's ms Patty Emily see that bet. And they made us eat this food and then pass out as though we had been eating all night. So we're all laying around the living room with like crackers on our faces and stuff, and that to me was so much fun. It was just so much fun to be indoors.

So I've never been in the Laurel Laurel I's house before, so to eat snacks with those ladies and laugh in between. We were on this tight little love seat couch. We laughed the entire day That's my favorite memory by far as working. And then I got to work with Emily, you know, m Kelly Bishop Moore in the revival, but it was that was my so so it was you, Emily, Sally and Melissa. We were all Melissa. Yeah, so much fun.

But there was so much footage of us laying around with like I remember Sally laying down and putting like rich crackers on her cheeks like we had passed out from eating and eating it. I don't think they showed that in the final cut, but that was my favorite. Um okay, so here's a question from a Jennifer from Austin, Texas. Did why did Gypsy not approve of Luke? The Gypsy not approve of Luke? Remember the one with the pink and blue I do remember this, the pink and blue ribbons,

the whole time split because you broke up? What really really? Luke fixes his own truck? What's wrong with that? Guys? Say, Luke? How is that good for me? Gypsy wants business like, so you dislike me because I can fix my own truck. No business for me for me? Yeah, Luke, Luke fixes his own truck, So I make bupkiss off him. I think that's the line. And then I said something about who does it know a piston from a Pepperoni Laura line? Maybe I don't know. It's something about music. So I

was like, okay. But then also I was like, she just didn't think he was good enough for her. That was Gypsy's thought hunt his own truck. A couple of work can class people and you don't like them? All right, you're all right. And then you came to my Remember the scene you did where you came to my garage to ask me if Jess had been there or something? Yeah, I go, yeah, you you you ride your brakes. And when we don't la when we make a joke, you

think we're serious. She just thinks she didn't really like any of the guys she liked. She didn't like the guys. It's just like he's annoying, tough nut to crack. Okay, all right, um, alright. This is from Anna from Sarah Soda. Uh, what was it about Laurel and Rory that the character Gipsy loved so much? You know, that's a great question. I think I loved I love them as people, so as characters, I loved their bond and I thought, honestly, there's a little part of me that was like Gypsy

didn't know her own mom. And I felt like, oh, look at how well they get along and they're so close in age, but they're so bonded, and like she she would have liked that relationship. You know, she wanted to be in there. They liked her, they referred to her. Sometimes I would watch it and go, oh, they talk

about Gypsy when she's not there. And I loved that they were so close to each other and they could tell each other anything, and that they ate stacks together, and you know, she would have liked to have that with somebody, right, right, right, right, interesting, interesting, Interesting. How

many episodes did you end up doing. I feel like it's twenty five, but I know there was one where I drove this rickety old, beautiful, beat up red pickup truck and I had to drive it over and over and over again, and I don't think that even made it to air. So I don't know if I can. Can you count the ones you film but never made it on camera, I don't know. Yeah, you can you

get paid for him? Yeah, But that was one of my ones that I was like, I'm driving and I lean out the window and I tell Rory good luck

at Yale or something like that. And I thought, all those takes of me driving, and you know, when you you don't have this problem when you're short, they gotta put the furniture pad and you gotta stit on it, and you're to flow for the wheel and and you've got to hit a mark like it's not easy to drive a giant truck with the old fashioned thing with the I wasn't great at it, so but I did it. Oh my god. Okay, here's a personal question. This is from a Forest. I guess that's a fellow named Forest.

He's from New York City. Love your name Forest? What car do you drive? Do you know how to change your own oil? Okay, I've been shown how to change my own oil. I haven't done it myself. I know that might be disappointing to some people, but I will say I have had the same car I was. I didn't get my driver's license, so I was thirte years old. Really so yeah. So I worked on a television show

called Johnny Bago and Oh with Peter Dobson. With Peter Dobson, I love Peter Dobson and Bobs and Mecca's head just directed used cars and the director the producer said to me, he just worked with a bunch of new ye actors who did not have the driver's licenses. So if you don't have your driver's license, you better tell us right now. And I have my license and I didn't, so I

had to learn how to drive very quickly. I had to take it in three hour increments and learn how to drive in the first time I drove, I had to drive an Arizona patrol car because I was a police officer. I was terrifying. So I'm not like a seasoned driver. I've only had a few cars. I remember I got a Honda because somebody told me I was a good, reliable car. Then I got this little Toyota. I love this car. My car turned fourteen. That's why

I love Laura. I going like at a new car when Gypsy is telling her to get a new car and she's attached to a jeep. I said, oh my god, I'm like that. I have a fourteen year old, tiny little Toyota that I absolutely love, and I keep it in such good shape. The body of it looks beautiful. I buy new hubcaps for it. Like, I love this car. It's so tiny, I can park it anywhere. So you know when I when I came, when I came to l A, I had one phone number. I guess whose

phone number that was? Peter Dobson. Peter Dobson was it really had one My buddy, my buddy from New York who was a former undercover narcotics uh officer uh Flatbush, Queens, Brooklyn. Yes, and he became an actor. Okay, by the name of God. What was this? Rob Cia? Rob Cia? So I knew Rob from New York and Rob and I used to hang out a lot, okay. And and he's to be like early late eighties, early nineties, right, this is yeah,

this is like right, um. And you know he knew I was going to l A. I was, you know, I was leaving New York and I was gonna make the move to l A the first time, you know, many times. Um. But he said, you gotta call my friend Peter. He the most fun person the hand and I've seen him in years and icon and I called coincidence that we never talked about them, right, And I called him, Uh, he said, yeah, come on over, you know,

any friend of Rob's a friend of mine. And I'm telling you that guy at that time was the pied piper of Hollywood. Absolutely he was that. He He had more parties, he knew more people, he had more fun, he had more girlfriends. He was more girl friends than anybody that I mean. It was just like a talented guy.

I I absolutely loved him. He would tell a story like I remember he bought like a really fancy Cadillac and he was telling the story of how this Winnebago there was an accident and everything in any and then over here was my Cadilic. It's got nothing to do with the story, but it was over there looking beautiful. So he's one of the funniest people. I really would love to see him again. I haven't seen any here, but I played his ex mafia wife turn parole officer,

really chasing him around the country in a Winnebago. It's the name. They could never make that show today, Johnny Bagel, and somebody would have hated him. He was. He was an Elvis freak to actually when get him in Forrest Gump, right after that, right he get he gets full of booze and then he'd started doing Elvis. He always teached me because he knew I didn't know how to drive, and he was so funny. I was like, you know, I just I adored him and he's so great. That's

so funny. Now I want him to know that we know each other. I haven't had any I haven't talked to him, and you want to figure out I'm going to figure out how to get made us talk about that oh driving driving, no Johnny Bagel, Janny Bagel, and how I didn't know how to drive. And I remember Johnny Bagel, I remember when he was doing Johnny Bagel. But I love I do like cars, and I know a lot about cars because of playing Gypsy. Like I do know, they taught me a couple of things. The

transport guys would teach me, you know stuff. But you know that oil. I've told this before that the oil they used a one steak sauce for the oil. They should have so I said, now, I to this day, I can't smell a one steak sauce because it makes me sick after doing that way. Do you know who else was in that initial group of guys that I hung out with when I got to Hollywood was Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Oh, I love him. Yeah. He was always

hanging out at Peter's rented house. You know what, Maybe that's why he's so familiar to me, because I yes, he's so talented to There was like Peter Peter had a couple of roommates. There was a guy who was in who was in that that Dazed and Confused movie, So he was doing that movie. There was a I forget the guy's name, but he was doing it. He was doing the Days of Richard link Letter movie. Um. And then uh, there was another guy that was living there also who was like had a band or something

like that. So those were two roommates, and Jeffrey would come over and hang out with the guy who was um doing the movie. They I mean, they were always there every time I was over there, which was a lot was I mean, there was Jeffrey very well for yourselves, Hollywood guy. I don't know we were, I don't know we were. We certainly were, um what's the word partaking back in the day. I just remember. I just remember

moving to Hollywood and being completely social. I mean it's all I did was meet people, go to parties, meet more people, go to barbecues, meet more people. I mean, it was just like it was just like, you know, if I had a place to crash, great whatever, and it was just like I just met so many people when I got here. It was like that in the night. I remember moving from Chicago and thinking like, oh my

people are out here. I got a move here, and I was like one of the lest people to come out a lot of my Chicago so that continue, people all moved their way before me. But I really, I kind of I love it now. I don't think I could. I don't think I could go anywhere else. I don't think. Yeah, I just got I just remember those initial years here.

It was just all about being out, you know. It was just like going to the party, going to the function, go you know, just being out meeting people, meeting people, meeting people. It's just it was just amazing. It was just an open city. It was just like an open city ready to embrace it was. It was just so

much fun. Different now it is a little different, right is it's get older and busy and or older, and yeah I gotta be because weah, you know, I think now where I live now, I'm like, oh, yeah, I gotta go to that show all the way over there. Well now, I mean for the past couple of years it's been like nobody goes anywhere. But but it like I wouldn't think of going out, and before i'd be like Tuesday night. Of course I'm going out, right, you know.

And one of the one of the old gang who's back in New York is originally from New York, is getting in touch with me now, you know, wanting to do a ski trip and the whole thing. And I haven't seen him in years, and I think we're going to go on a ski trip together and like just where I tell you what. We're going to get together and laugh and laugh and laugh all the crazy stuff we did and all like, oh my god, so many memories, so many memories. Anyway, Um, okay, So this is from

Rodney from Baton Rouge. Got a couple like that's the third guy. What did you think of playing a female car mechanic? Did you know about cars before you played the role of Gypsy? And if not, what are you giving a crash? Course, I'm from the motor city, Detroit Auto but I wasn't a big car person because I never owned a car. I was leasing a car. I think when I worked on Gilmore, i leased a car or something, so I didn't know, and the guys were

really helpful, like they transport guys. I love guys on Hollywood sets that, like, you know, they have like big collections of vintage cars and the guys who like loan the picture cars to the set and stuff like that. They'll tell you everything. They love to tell you every detail of how to change. So now I know how to change oil, I know where the engine is, I know the transmission, I know. I know all that stuff. But I remember early on I went to get my

own car repaired. I think it was Tory of North Hollywood when I had one of the seasons and I was standing there and these girls were just staring at me, and I'm looking at them like what And they were looking at me like they like they couldn't believe that this. I realized, Oh, they watched the show because before it

wasn't as popular. So it was like weird that these people were looking at me in the car mechanic place, like she's in the place where the stuff happens really fixed the cars, Like it was really funny to me. I just remember thinking like, why are they looking at me? And I'm like, oh, they think gypsies there to like the car? Right, Um, well, listen, it's been a lot of fun catching up with you.
