You like that? I love that. Did you like that? Yeah. A nice intro, huh? It really does. It really sets the stage. You know how much that cost me? Yeah. I don't want to know. No. No, it's pretty high price tag. It wasn't that bad. I would say it was a good amount of sale for that, I think. You got your money's worth. I did. I just dropped it. That was pretty cool. That was pretty cool. Very cool. Yeah. Very tight for this show. I don't know if I'm worthy. That's my problem. I think, well, you know what? If you are worthy enough to be on 10 items or less, then you are worthy enough to be on this show. That's your choice. Hey, and while I'm having this conversation with the guests here that you are listening to, let me introduce myself. I'm the Val Jay Lee hosting this program here that's called Buzzworthy Radio. I'm making this sound like this is my very, very first show, but it's not. You know, we've been here for over a year now, but this is our second show of the day. I'm back after a two-hour break, we were on earlier this afternoon at 4pm, and now we're back. But again, it's 8 o'clock here on the east coast, and it's 5 o'clock over there where our guests clap. And then it is. Did I get it right? Did I get it right? Got it. I did. Awesome. Awesome. Thank you for having me on your show. Thanks. Thanks for coming on. I love the show, and from what I understand it, is it mostly improvised? It's all improvised. It's all improvised. What they do is the two creators, John Leer and Nancy Howard kind of outline a story idea, but they'll do it like in three pages, and they'll write no dialogue. And so all the dialogue that we do in the scenes is improvised, but they've still kind of got an idea of what story they want to tell in the episode. But they don't share it with us. They'll just show up to set, and she'll say, "This is the information I need to get out in the scene. This is what you know already." And then they roll cameras, and hopefully we can be moderately funny. It gives you free reign to do a little bit of whatever you want. Sometimes, a lot of times, the first one out of the gate is kind of a train wreck. I mean, there'll be some funny stuff there, but it'll take way too long to get to it. And then we'll do another take, and we'll start to pare it down, and fill in some of the gaps, and tighten it up, and maybe do six, seven takes before the end of the scene. And so these editors, the guy was telling me, they've got 30 hours of footage for a 20-minute episode, and they've got to then cut down. And it's great fun for the performers. The actors love doing it, except for just being scared out of your mind most of the time. But it's a great job. Absolutely. Well, at least look at this way. You're not up live on a stage in front of an audience just basically falling on your butt. No. No, you're just in front of a bunch of people holding cameras falling on your butt. Yeah. Yeah. So it's much better. I think that's a little better. And you need us to memorize any of that messy dialogue. That's just so time-consuming. I try not to anymore. I try to go with the flow, and sometimes I fail. But then I wind up heating back up where I left off, and then it winds up actually ending up pretty good. And that's what's built you into the pillar you are now. That's exactly right. I knew that. I probably would not have said those words, but I'm glad someone else did. So who was your first guest today? My first guest today, I was on for two hours. Amazing. I'm not asleep yet. I don't know how into soap operas you are. When I was in college, I was hooked to Guiding Light. Oh, well, then I'll tell you right now, what is a Guiding Light star? Really? Yes. I don't know how long ago you stopped watching if you didn't watch anymore. It's been 15 or 20 years. Was it a Spalding? I'll have on a Spalding next month, I believe. Really? But this one has been on the show for about 10 years. Crystal Chappelle was our guest today. Okay. One of them. She plays Olivia Spencer on the show now. Right. And Mary Beth Evans from Days of Realizes, our second guest today. Now, are you into both those shows? I am into both those shows. I'm not into Days of Realizes, but I used to, but I like a lot of the actors in there. I'm still into the Guiding Light scene, so that's my thing. How can you not be Springfield? This is true. Growing up when I was a five-year-old kid. And they don't age either. They've all got the Dick Clark thing. It's like I look at Phillips, the guy playing Phillips falling, and he looks exactly the same as he did 25 years ago. I don't know if you know that. Yeah, I did not. Entombed? Or what? I don't know what is happening on that show. Don't you think that we should look like that when we get to that age? I would look like, I would just want to look like something. I don't know what I'm going to look like. It's going to look like how you do now. Yeah. Although I was on a soap opera once. Oh, yeah? I did. I did one episode of Young and the Restless in my early days. Nice. I'm not a pornographer. Oh. Oh. Every time I'm ever going to be on a soap opera, it's going to be some sleazy pornographer or probably a bum. I'd rather be the pornographer, but maybe that's just me. Yeah. No, it was good. If you've got to look like I do, then being the pornographer is probably your best bet. I actually caught something on YouTube that I actually wanted to talk to you about. It was the three parts of the on car. Oh, Darryl from on car, yeah. Darryl from on car. Oh, my God. I was watching this and I said, "Please, for the love of hell, don't ever give me Darryl from on car in my car." That was really fun. I thought it came out great. I thought it looked really good. Yeah. We shot it for like a zero budget. It was shot during the rider's strike as part of this whole strike TV thing that they've been doing, and I thought the thing looked great. People just volunteering their time, and it was really fun to do, and I think it looked fabulous. In fact, they're airing it this weekend at the LA Comedy Shorts Festival, so I don't know. We'll see what kind of response it gets. How did you get a bunch for that? The guy who directed it is the assistant director on a show. I do a lot called The Closer, and so I knew him from that, and he wanted to direct this little thing. I knew one of the writers from way back when I had a day job teaching at an SAT prep company called The Princeton Review. Everything kind of comes into ... It's really weird in Los Angeles. They talk about how ridiculously huge it is and the industry and stuff, but once you're kind of in it, you realize it's a very small little group of people, and everybody kind of knows each other from some angst, and so here I had a connection with the writer and the director, and that's how it worked out. Very cool. Like we said, it came out. It was so funny. I mean, the situations that Darrell put you in, that's funny. If you watch any of the other strike TV things, there's a thing that Mindy Kaelin did. They watched the one that Garrett Dilla Hunt was in. Oh yeah, that's actually a pretty good one too. I did watch that one. I thought that one was pretty tight. Yeah. They were pretty consistently good, and they're short. They're like, "These things are anywhere between three and eight minutes or something." Yeah, it's a good site to poke around on. Yeah, it's all YouTube, so if you'd like to check it out, I'll use people there or this thing. Or you can go straight to strike.tv, and all the stuff is there. You have an impressive resume, by the way, if I can say so. Thank you. I mean, a lot of-- You have? Yes. Well. [LAUGHTER] You-- you-- it's just-- I was looking at it and I said, "Keep doing all this stuff." I mean, I just know you're from 10 items, but last night I like this show, but I'm like, "You did all of this." Yeah. And you were my favorite new farm commercial about the tree. Wow. Thank you, Ficus. Yeah. I like this. It's funny, I think. Yeah. It's just like, I was just listening. It's like, except for the-- I'm like, really-- Yeah. [LAUGHTER] They're a really insurance company, they're out there like that. [LAUGHTER] For sure, they're all-- I've been with a couple of them. Yeah. Yeah, that was a good commercial. Yeah, I've been-- I've been lucky, like, you know, I'm pretty weird looking, and in a way that's been sort of a blessing, because you can-- you can kind of carve out your niche playing. I just play all these very odd character roles. And I've been lucky to be on quite a few good shows, and they sort of been so-- sorry, I've been turned into recurring roles, you know, like the one on Scrubs or '70s show or whatever. And, you know, it's just been a-- I've been very fortunate in the industry to sort of pick, find my niche, you know, playing these guys and just kind of sticking with it. So it's been a good run. How did you get into this whole acting, interpersonal thing? I was actually studying engineering in college, and not doing a very good job at it, but I stayed with it, and I started-- because I was going kind of stir crazy, I auditioned for play like my sophomore year, and I got into it, and I just fell in love with not only doing the play, but also just other-- being around actors, compared to being with engineers, it was like night and day. You know, actors tend to be very extroverted and alive and flamboyant, whatever, and engineers are really pretty, you know, wound pretty tightly and a little retentive for the most part, you know. And so it was just kind of a breath of fresh air being around all these people, these crazy people, and I just love doing it. So I didn't warm more of it, you know, as much as I could while I was staying in an engineering program, and I got encouraged by some professors that were in the theater department, so you might want to try doing this, or at least go to graduate school and get some training. So I did that after undergrad, I went to graduate school into an MFA program in acting, and then went from there, did a little regional theater, and ended up in Los Angeles about 17 years ago. And you just basically woke up and went, "Do I really want to be an engineer for the rest of my life?" And I think-- Yeah, I was like, you know, my dad was showing out a lot of money for this, so I felt like I didn't want to, you know, have nothing to do if this dream didn't work out. So that's why I finished the engineering program, like I thought I could try this for a couple years, if it turns into a big disaster, then I can go back and be like an all-person get a real job, and no harm, no foul. So that was--it was just kind of like a pipe dream, you know, and it worked out. But even if it's sort of the case with a lot of people here, they know that, you know, it's kind of like deciding to be a professional gambler, you know. When you come here, the odds really are against you, and you can do everything right, and you still can just not get anything, not get anywhere, or somebody can walk in off the street and hit, you know, so it's very frustrating because there's no real rhyme or reason to a lot of it, and sometimes it feels very, very unfair. But that's kind of--that's sort of the gig with this, you know, it's a very, very subjective industry, and you can only do so much, and some of it's left up to fate. So yeah, so I got lucky, and I know a bunch of people, like people I went to school with, who I think are like considerably more talented than I am, who would be out here and just be nothing, just be crickets, and you know, and so it's not really fair, but everybody takes a crack at it. And it's like, you never know until you try it, at least. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I think that one of the tricks is no one when to pull the plug and when to, you know, keep persevering. Would you say doing in-provision is difficult? You know, it depends, I think it's definitely an improvisation, like an acquired skill, and you can get better and better at it the more you do, but I think also some people are inherently good at it. People of, I think the best people, best improvisers are really, really good listeners, and the worst tend to be very bad listeners. You know, it's all about them, and they've got the joke that's in the back of their head, and whatever it takes to get that joke out. But I think, like, as a viewer, when I've seen really good improv, it's when people, the two people, or whatever many are in the scene, are really connecting to each other, and the reactions are very, very organic. It's not so much joke, joke, joke, it's honest, you know, human reaction. Like, that's why I think so much of curb your enthusiasm is really funny. There was a show that I loved called "Man Bytes Dogs" that I think was pretty heavily improvised, that I felt was hilarious. You know, and these guys were just really good at, you know, honestly reacting to moments and situations and whatever they're given, and that's what I found to be the funniest. You know, as a viewer. So it's kind of what I try to do when we work. Now, you also have done, like I mentioned, you were in a closer as well, and you know, you did a lot, you basically done a lot of congresses, and this is probably like your only dramatic piece you've ever done in your life. Which one, the closer? Yeah. Yeah, but I, you know, it's even a pretty, I wouldn't say he's a comedic character, but like I'm definitely brought in to be a slightly lighter side. Like it's when, I play this character, Terence, who has a real crush on Kira Sedgwick, and he's just a weird, morgue attendant, you know, and so I have this book here and I think that, you know, I keep pointing to data and stuff and I'm always sort of looking at her just a little too hard. And so I think that when they've brought Terence in or written for Terence, it's when they kind of want to lighten the mood just a little bit for a scene or two before they get back to, you know, because it just tends to be a fairly serious show, pretty hard hitting, and then it's nice to lighten up moments every once in a while before you then go back so people aren't just like, you know, making the ropes for 42 minutes. Yeah. Are you one of those actors, I mean, I've seen a lot with some people, they don't want to be typecasted in such a role, like, you don't want to be typecasted or the comedic actor, you don't want to be typecasted, but like this, do you see yourself, like, favoring more of the comedy scene and the dramatic scene, like both? I like both. I mean, I think definitely my career is played more towards the comedies, but like I've also done quite a few, you know, pretty serious, you know, I was on the practice for a couple episodes in Ally McBeale and a bunch of more serious shows and I really liked doing it very much. I just think that the way I look and sound, I think I tend to be put into comedies more often, you know, and I love that, you know, but I'm not going to turn either one down, you know. There are only a couple things I'm going to turn down and they're for different reasons, not because of the comedy or drama, you know. Exactly. And I hear comedy is difficult to play because it's like you have to know where you feel like the audience will laugh at you and if they don't, then you pretty much fall flat on your act. You can, but there are also some things that are out of your control, you know, you don't know how they're going to edit a scene, you don't know, you know, you want, sometimes you want to take a little, a line is funnier if you take a little pause before it, but in the editing room, they can take that pause out, you know, they can, they can cut a line that you have been leading up to. And then, you know, a lot of it, you know, you can't control, which sometimes is real frustrating for me. Like when I watch back something that I did, you know, six weeks ago, I'm like, oh, I can't wait for my wife to see this. And then it happens. I'm like, oh, wow, that was a disaster. And some of it may be my fault, some of it may be, you know, out of my reach. But I think, you know, I think that you just get sort of better at it as you go along and, you know, some things I find funny, other people, not so much. Yeah. I mean, it's worse, like, you know, it's all a taste thing. This is true. Yeah. What kind of role would you picture yourself doing if any of those roles that you've ever done, what would you like to see? What would you like to do? Like if you were tied to a big motion picture movie, opposite versus all of them. I feel like of the stuff that I've done, the, like, what I seem to get like the most enjoyment from is, like, like a show like Scrubs. And I play this, this character named Dr. Zeltzer, who's this really weird kind of twisted on college, just in the hospital, and he's always coming up to Cox and just saying these just outrageous things, but doing it with a completely straight face. And that's what I think, one of the things I think I do pretty well, and I also just love it. I love the dialogue that they write because it's so outrageous. I did this one episode where, you know, a guy, a bunch of doctors are standing around looking at this x-ray of a guy who's got a light bulb, where a light bulb should not be, if you're following, and so we're looking at this x-ray, and we're all trying to figure out how we can get this light bulb out of this guy. And Zeltzer, my character, just stares at it for a minute and finally goes, "That's why my wife and I use candles." It's like such a bizarre, brilliant line, and all the doctors turn to them looking at them like, "You are a freak." And I just, I love stuff like that. [laughter] Love, love, love it. And, you know, that show, I unfortunately, one of the shows, one of my all-time favorite shows, which I never got a chance to be on was Arrested Development, but, you know, it has that same sense of humor, it's like real absurdity, but played very, very straight. And that's what makes me laugh as a viewer, and what I would, I love to do as a performer. Do you critique yourself, do you watch yourself and then you critique yourself saying, "Oh, I should have done this way." Yeah, mercilessly, it's horrible. In fact, I won't let, when I'm on something and it airs on TV, I won't tell my wife, I will either stay up late and watch it myself or I'll teavote and watch it, you know, so I can review it first before I let anybody else see it and go through my hand and go, "Oh, my proud of this, is this awful, whatever." I'm very, very insecure like with that. I don't often tell my friends and family when I'm on stuff, just, no, yeah, very insecure. See, I'm noticing that a lot from a lot of these actors, that they're really, really that, you know, they really critique themselves. I mean, I never really expected to hear a lot of that response, but they really do, and then again, I guess it makes sense because, you know, you learn with everything that you do and you look back and go, "Okay, I can do this or I shouldn't do this." You know, so it kind of like helps out in a way. Yeah, it does, and I think it also makes you better, you know, as a performance. It's almost like how weird it is when people hear themselves, just audio for the first time, and they're like, "I don't sound like that, do I?" It's like, "Yeah, you do, but you hear," and visually, it's the same thing. Like, I sometimes will think that a mannerism I have reads a certain way when I see it I'm filming, I'm like, "Oh, that reads totally differently." You know, so I think it can be helpful, but I also know some really great actors who don't do that. Like, they don't want to see themselves, they don't want to hear, but they're very, very content with what they do, sort of in the moment, and after that it's gone. And seeing it, you know, can just muddy it or make it worse. Yeah, exactly. You know, I'll find this on set, too, where, like, some people really, really like to go to the monitors, like, after, while you're shooting something, go to the monitors after a take and see it play back. Like, I enjoy going and seeing it play back, because then I think I can see what worked and what didn't work and correct it. A lot of other actors don't want to see that. They don't want to, because then it gets in their head and they become sort of disembodied from it, and, you know, it just causes problems. Yeah. So, yeah, everybody's different. That's like me, I could, I could take myself every time the show goes off the air and everyone and I go, "Yeah, I'm really hot." "I'm killing myself. Yeah, I could have done this. I could have done that. Yeah, yeah, yeah." "I could have said this. I could have said this, and it's just, you know, you learn from mistakes, I guess, but, yeah, I think that's what's better as an actor, is that they know what they can approve upon. So, I admire that, never, whatever it is. But it's not even just acting like, I have imaginary conversations in my car all day long of the way I wish I'd handled a situation, you know, you know, I probably have-- Thank God, I'm the only one that does that. You know, I have an altercation with some kind of parking lot. I'll be driving away and be like, "Oh, I should have said this. That would have been good. That would have got him." You know? Like, it doesn't help anybody. I'm glad I'm not alone in that regard, and I felt like I was a weirdo that I would do that. You're the only one? No. I would do, I do show prep, and I'm like talking out loud in my room. The mom's like going, "What are you doing?" What are you-- Yeah. Like, are you smoking something that's like, what's Phoenix's line? Which could be the answer, but-- Well, I think the only one that will know that is Joaquin Phoenix. Right. That's right. Oh my God. How did you like concealers impersonation during the show? His Joaquin Phoenix. Did you see it? I did not see it. I did not. The original. Yeah. The original is pretty amazing. I don't think-- I don't think anything can top the original interview that was re-aired last night on Letterman I-- Oh, did they show it again? They showed it again. Oh, that's funny. I can't-- I can't believe that that happened. That was beyond belief for me. It was pretty trippy, wasn't it? That's just on the word trippy. I think we all got a little bit out there by just watching that interview alone. Right. But, you know, hey, stuff happens. Yeah, yeah, believe me. It's like that Christian Bale thing. Another good one. I think I'm trying to fit in there. Nothing is safe or sacred anymore. I mean, you figure that you-- when you have-- when you're at your weakest moment, you have a pretty good level of confidence that somebody somewhere is capturing it, either tape or a video or whatever, and it's going to come back to haunt you. It's like right there for the whole world to see now. Yeah. Didn't you come in that way? You know what I mean? You could be safe before you could have a meltdown and who's going to know? It's just you and the people in the room, but now it's all over the internet, you know, in hours. That's the power of YouTube. It's like everywhere. Right. Amazing. That's crazy. But I know you got-- I mean, you got to take your son to Boy Scouts. Yes, Cub Scout PAC meeting tonight. Wonderful joy of being a father. But it's being catered-- actually, you know what, this may not mean anything to you because you're on East Coast, but it's being catered by In-N-Out Burger. Have you ever had an In-N-Out? I've heard of In-N-Out Burger. They're the best. But I guess they're only like in California, maybe Arizona, yes, like one of the best all time burgers. I'll probably have an In-N-Out Burger in two weeks. Yeah, you're coming out? Two weeks. Mm-hmm. Fantastic. Yeah. Get yourself there. Yes. It is my long, long-awaited vacation. So-- Well, listen, it's been a pleasure talking to you. Absolutely. Same here. We'll keep in touch. Thank you very much, Navell. Thanks for having me on your show. Anytime. All right. Talk to you soon. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. That, ladies and gentlemen, was Mr. Bog Clan Lenin. He can be seen on 10 items or less, which airs on the TPS and also on the closer with Cures Sedgwick on T&P. We're going to be joined by a few minutes by Christina Klee. She's best known for her lead role as Linda in the remake of Halloween, which was from Rob Zami. And she's going to be in the accidental husband playing Isabel Salini's daughter alongside also with Uma Thurman in common birth. So she's going to be calling us in a few minutes here. Just a quick rundown of what happened earlier this afternoon. For those of you who did missed it and did want to check out the interview from 4 p.m. Eastern Time with Crystal Stappelle and Mary Beth Evans, you can log on to the website at blogtalkradio.com/buzzworthyradio. It'll be available on our official website very, very shortly at www.buzzworthyradio.net. So keep checking the site, there will be a link over there to download the show or to just stream the show in your web browser. So keep it locked in here at Buzzworthy, and we'll definitely get it out to you, no doubt. And also it was a two hour block, excuse me, excuse me, it was a two hour block show. So the first hour of future Crystal, the second hour of featured Mary Beth Evans, you have your pick of what you wanted to do. So definitely, definitely check it out, it was a great, great program fix. There was a lot of information that you definitely need to hear, but it's all going to say, you definitely have to hear it, have to hear the show. But also I want to give you a rundown of what's to come next week. I own information for ABC soaps at the moment, I don't have any news for CVS as of yet. As soon as I get that, I'll probably say it on the air before we go off the air. But next week, be prepared, you one life to live people because if you really want to see something that is psycho-esque, however you say that word, psycho-esque. Make sure you check out one life to live next week. Our lovely, beautiful Blair Kramer gets stabbed numerous times in the shower by the one life to live serial killer. First of all, I didn't even know they had a serial killer until I read the previews for next week. I seriously had no idea there was a serial killer, none whatsoever, as soon as I read I couldn't believe it, so this is actually news to me. So make sure you check that out, it's funny because we actually had a caller and a listener who actually suggested that Blair was going to get killed off, and she's not, she's not, but he mentioned something that's probably going to happen to Blair before I even knew anything about it. And when I heard this storyline come out, I figured he must have ESP or something because that was absolutely but scary that he thought that same thing, so it's going to be interesting to see that. And who else is not loving Crystal Hot now in the role of Stacey on Life's Live? Definitely found her niche, she's going to definitely be, what's the best way to put it? She'll probably have her pop out, let's just say that, so it's definitely going to be interesting seeing her in that role. So check out Online Social Next Week, I know a lot of you Zendal fans out there are pretty much going to be happy that Zack and Kendall have sex next week despite the fact Adam is trying to blackmail them because of the fact Kendall was the actual one who ran greenly off the road, but despite all of that and everything that's happened between the two of them they actually have sex, although Reese blabs to Ryan and tells Ryan that Kendall was the one who was driving the car and not Zack, but it turns out that Ryan and Kendall are now going to get closer, what does that mean, hmm, Ryan and Kendall back together again. I actually was a fan of that parent so actually it would not bother me, like what's up with this about Bay's mother and daddy tying the knot David and Crystal getting married, even though she knows about David being the father of Amanda's baby, and I love the fact that they're just deciding to have JR Jr, Jr Jr, drink JR Licker, so that's actually going to be quite interesting to see, make sure you guys check those two shows out next week. We have on our second guest of the evening right now, she was in the movie Halloween, the remake of Halloween playing the role of Linda and she's going to be in the upcoming film The Accidental Husband starring Uma Thurman, Common Birth, and Isabella Rosalini, Christina Cleve, hopefully that's the last name right too, is with us on the line right now. Hello. Hello. How are you? Hey. How are you doing? I'm good. I'm great. How are you guys doing? You're doing very well over here on the east coast. I know. Are you on the east coast now? Do I see you? No. No, I'm in LA, but I love the east coast because, you know, I'm a New Yorker, so I've got a six here, it is. Ah, so you're one of those that loves the cold and the snow and all that good stuff? Yeah, but I heard it's like 50 degrees on the east coast right now, in like, Philadelphia or something. It was like... 55? Warm? It was like 63 earlier today, and I was like, I couldn't believe it. Yeah. I was extremely thrilled, even if I was supposed to be worse, but it was a nice one. Yeah, it still is the winter, so... This is true. But yeah, I don't mind the cold, actually. I love seasons, so anything that changes it up a little bit is good for me. Absolutely. So, as I was mentioning before, I had brought you on the line, you did the Rob Zombie remake of Halloween playing the role of Linda, what was that like, and, you know, this intrigued me because I'm a horror flick fan. Okay. And I love horror movies, but I'm one of those that's impartial to remakes, but I actually like this. Okay. I actually like that movie. So, what did you think about the Friday 2013? Did you like it better or worse than the Friday 2013 remake? You know what? I didn't watch this one yet. Yeah. I've seen it. I think people start telling me that they like Friday 2013 better, but I'm gonna stick to trying to convince them that Rob's movie is better. Yeah, I'm a little bit hesitant yet with this one because, you know, this was like my... You know, this one was like one of my favorites too, but, you know, I was like, "I don't know." I mean, I'm like the other one, but I don't know how I like this one, like, you know what I mean? But... Yeah. So, what was it like doing? You know, there's some... Oh, it was like, working with Rob? Yeah. It was great. It was wonderful. I was a little nervous at first, you know, 'cause I saw, you know, this crazy rocker and I was like, "Oh my gosh, this guy, you know, how do you even talk to him? It's Rob Zombie." But I didn't actually know who it was at first, but I just heard it was an untitled zombie project, right? So I didn't know... Like, I didn't put together the name Rob Zombie and, you know, white zombie, so... But he was... He was great. I mean, he was very different than you would imagine and he was very nice and wonderful and he had very, very kind spirit, I think, even though he does all these crazy movies, so... Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. And you're actually going to see in a new movie that's going to be coming out called The Accidental Husband. Yeah. If it ever comes out. It's been postponed a few months, or like, it was postponed a year, actually, and then it was postponed a month or two months. So it's done. It's done. Great. What? It is done, then. You've done film. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's done. It's been done for, like, a year. I ran into a sermon down the Bahamas and that she was like, "When is the movie finally coming out?" And she's like, "Don't even get me started," so she's one of the producers on it as well, so... Oh, really? Yeah. So it was... But I'm sure it's going to come out. I think they're just, like, waiting for very strategic time with the comedy, you know, to figure out, like, what other movies are coming out and stuff like that. So... Oh, sorry. Yeah. But it's supposed to come out March 27th. I'm just, you know... Yeah. You know. You never know. So... This is true, too. But even though, while we're awaiting for this movie to come out, still, is there... I'm like, can you describe your character in the movie? Well, I play this girl who... My parents in it are Isabel, Roslini, and Udo... I'm not going to care about my thing. Oh, gosh. I'm going to forget his name. He was in 2001 Space Odyssey. Oh, gosh. What's his name? I can't believe I'm blanking right now. This is so embarrassing. I always get him an Udo's name confused. Anyway, well, he's a great actor. He was the main guy in 2001 Space Odyssey. And so they play my parents when they play, they're these Germans. And I play the daughter who is American, but, you know, like, or lives in America, but has German parents, and I'm getting married. And I'm kind of like this pivotal... It's hard to knock away the story without saying... Yeah. It's kind of like a comedy baron, and so, you know, misunderstandings happen, and because certain people meet the wrong people at the wrong time, things happen. And one of my characters is involved in, you know, in that situation. I mean, that my character is involved in one of those situations. So... Okay. Yeah. That's okay. Very interesting. Hopefully I get to check that out. Yeah, I hope to check it out soon, too. I can't wait. It's been so long. How did you ever get into acting? What was it something you always wanted to do, or is it something that came to you after what you initially wanted to do, it suddenly hits you and goes, "I don't want to be an actress." No, it was weird. It was more like the other way around. I always loved acting, and I always did act. I was in, like, every single play since the time I was, like, five, you know, if there was a play. They would be, I went to Catholic school, and they'd be like, "Okay, we're doing a Christmas show. Like, who wants to play the three kings?" And I'd be like, "I view, you know, I want to play a king." You know, like, it was, like, the first thing, you know, I would raise my hand and every, all the other girls, all the other girls would be like, "No, I want to play Mary, you know." I was like, "No, I want to play king." Because it had a lot of lines. All the girl parts, and you're definitely what I wanted to do. You know, I always played boys. When I was, like, I think, twelve or thirteen we did into the woods, and again, it was an all-girl school, and I played Jack. And actually, the funny thing in this is that they actually brought in guys from, you know, the brother schools to play, you know, like, the princes, and I forget who else. But I still played the guy, which is, you know, strange. So, yeah, so I was always acting, and it never occurred to me that it was actually something you could do professionally. It just was something I enjoyed and always wanted to do. And then after college, when I, you know, had done lots of internships and other, you know, things like journalism or radio, actually, also, I realized that the only thing that I really wanted to do that made me happy was to be acting. And so, I went to theater school, and then I just, you know, went full force, professionally. Exactly. Yeah. That's the way to do it, like, I mentioned before, you never know how to do it. It does take a long time. It does. I mean, well, some people are really lucky and doesn't, but I think for most people that are really, you know, that I look up to anyway, it was a very, a kind of a gradual progression. Yeah. Who were your inspirations in the acting field that you look at? Well, one of my earliest ones was Jody Foster. I was like, I just, I loved her. I loved that she was really smart and that she played, you know, really diverse roles. And yeah, I thought she was, I always looked up to her. I think I had, like, a bit of a Sharon Stone phase, but I didn't, like, love her. Like, I just, it was, when, when was that movie with Michael Douglas, you know, the really lazy one? Basically insane. Right. So, I wasn't allowed to watch that, and I was like, oh, and she's also, you know, she's very smart woman. And I kind of looked up to really strong, smart actresses, also, like, Narrow Street. And I think, well, for my, yeah, that's very, very good, very good choices, too, especially with Karen Stone. I mean, in all seriousness, it is because, you know, like you said, they're very, very smart actresses. They know what they want, they know how to do it. Definitely, it's definitely good, it's definitely good to look at those, at those kind of people. So I admire, I admire that very, very much. Yeah. Oh, thank you. And what else have you got coming up, besides this anticipated movie we want to see? Well, I have, I mean, this here's going to be crazy, because it's, you know, there's, um, well, maybe that was at Sundance, Peter and Vandy. I think that should come out probably in the late summer, you know, early fall. I know it sounds like a long time away, but, um, I think, yeah, probably like August or September, that's going to come out. And, um, and then I have this movie, Zone of the Dead, which, if you're a horror fan, you might know, do you know anything about this? Not as much. I know, I know a little bit of it, but not as much as I like, too. Okay. Um, I don't, I, I'm probably the only person that didn't go to the premiere in Serbia. Um, but, uh, supposedly it's actually, it's really good. And it's going to, it's being released, it's in Serbian theaters right now. It's going to Spanish and Italian theaters, um, on at least like a hundred screens. And then it's going to come here and we, we just got a distributor, so, um, it's cool. I mean, like, it's, it's a zombie movie, but it's more like an action flick. You know what I mean, it's just, you know, a non-stop action. And, um, and I play an integral agent who survived, sorry, I totally probably gave it away, but it doesn't matter. I mean, look, one person has to survive, right? Oh, did I just say that? Right. Yeah. There you go. There you go. But, um... But you're the more, you're the more important one. Well, I am the only woman really. I mean, there are other women, but they have really small parts. So, um, you know, there has to be somebody that, to, to carry the female image throughout the movie. So... There you go. But, you know, it was a lot of fun. I had a great, great time. Yeah. Oh, excuse me. Um, what I wanted to ask you is with the films that you have done and they're out there right now. Can you see yourself? Um, what would you like to see yourself feeling like? I pose this to my last guest is, would you like to see yourself doing more comedy roles or do you like this genre that you're in right now, basically? Well, I love comedy. I know it's weird, um, it's weird because, um, I don't know why that's weird, actually. Um, but I love comedy and I love dark comedy and I, I'm a pretty sarcastic person with people get to know me. So, you know, I love that kind of humor, um, and I probably have been in more comedies than in horror, but I've had such, you know, really small parts, you know, so, um, but I think, yeah, I mean, I would love, I'm working on my own web series right now and it's a comedy. It's a, it's like a heightened kind of curvier enthusiasm, needs, um, applied to the concords, you know, it's a total comedy. And, um, yeah, I just, I mean, for me, I love doing diverse things. I mean, I love characters and so, and I love testing different ways to act and in each kind of genre, there's definitely a different way of doing things. I think, you know, this movie in Serbia, I didn't even realize how much of an action in a physical movie it was going to be, um, much more physical than anything I'd done before. So you learn from that and then with a comedy, it really tests your brain, I think, because you really have to be so on with your timing and with, you know, it's just, it's a completely different way of working. And I, I, so I like to test myself and to see if I can just do everything, which I'm, I can't, you know, but I hope that someday I'll get close to when I'm a hundred. There you go, there you go, but we'll see what happens and take it from there, exactly. Let's hope that I make it to a hundred or I say, I don't even know. I don't know if that would be a good, we would have to be very advanced in our healthcare system for me to want to become a hundred years old. Well, you know, I don't know what I can say about it in this economy anymore with what's going on. So I can't, I can't say that I'll live to be a hundred. Yeah, I'll be lucky enough to live past 50. No, no, what are you talking about, come on, I'm going to say that. Um, do you know this, oh, is that my phone making noise? Is your phone like, oh no, I just feel like static. Do you hear that? No. Oh, I thought you had the woman in your ear, like I do, like I have the British woman in my ear going, like how much time I have left in. No. This is the annoying factor of this program, I was like, you know, you want it to sit. You want to say shut up to her, but you realize it's an automatic point. So they're not going to hear you. Yeah. So this is pretty much what I have on my edit, and it's pretty much distracting me from like listening to what you're saying, and everybody else is saying totally. Uh huh. Yeah, that's, and meanwhile, I have the static, so the two of us together is, is, uh, really, kind of terrible. And on a healthy match, I don't know. Together, the two of us will only live to 40, actually. Um, whatever. Oh, I don't want to, I don't want to think that either. I don't think we want to think about 30 yet. Yeah. Well, that's good. I guess, I don't know how old you are, but I just probably minimize both of our ages to like teenagers. Yeah. Um, yeah. We'll go with that. We'll go with that. We'll go with that. Go with that. Yeah. And then we have 10 more years, five each, respectively. So. Um, anyway, actually, have you seen this movie, the Rico, the genetic opera, have you seen that? Rico. The genetic opera. Rico, the genetic opera. It's like an, it's an independent horror, like, it's a musical or like, I guess, an opera. Hmm? Really? Yeah. You're rented. It's a block out there. Um, I'm totally doing publicity for them. And I have nothing to do with a movie, but, um, but it's good. Like Bill Mose leaves in it and, um, Paris Hilton, which I don't know, you know, that's, that's the debatable thing, um, but, um, there's some great actors saying Paris Hilton. You did. Um, like, I don't think I want to rent it now. No, but you're the small partner. Don't worry. It's, it's, it doesn't ruin the movie. Don't worry. Um, she, uh, no, she, it's, it's like this. And it was talking about healthcare. It's all about, you know, the future and how they, you know, everybody is, you know, genetically, like they've, they've altered and there's only, it's like weird find, you know, health advances, but they're not really, you, you have to like, pretty much sell your soul to get these new organs, I don't know, I'm, I'm not describing it very well, but it's interesting. It's an interesting movie. Um, so. That's funny. Selling soul. Yeah. Mm. Kind of like a bossy vampire player, the musical meets movie kind of thing. Kind of. Yeah. I haven't seen that. Wait, which one? Oh, Buffy the vampire player. Okay. Buffy the vampire player. They had an episode of Buffy the Musical. Oh really? Yeah. You never seen it. No. Wow. Was it good? Oh, I, I actually liked it. I didn't, I actually did not think that they could think, but it surprised me. Wow. Yeah. Well, this is surprising too. Everyone in here, even Bill Mowley things, which is, you know, I, I love him. I think he's not a great actor, so I pretty much just like watching him, but I'm, but yeah, everyone, it's just, I think a lot of actors, you know, we, we probably have learned to sing at some time or another, you know, or career, so it's not too much of a stretch. Yeah. I had to, I had to actually do it too, so you, you're right. You actually brought up a good point and actually had to sing at one point or another. So yeah. Yeah. I'm not the best at it, but I, I get by. Yeah. Exactly. I'm actually singing my first show with a friend of mine. I'm doing a kind of like a duet slash like harmony for him here in LA on, I think it's like March 24th or something at the Dakota. So we'll see because it could be a huge disaster, but he's nice enough to give me a chance to try. Well, here, here to think, you know, you, you know, if you can't, this is, this is me, if you can't say, this has fun with it, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Go with the flow and the rest will run its course from that point. So yeah, just, just don't go in there with like, my God, I can't think I'm going to mess up and everything, like, just, just go in there and just go for yourself and go for it. Yeah. Exactly. You know, you could entertain the audience and you basically have sold it. That's how I look at it. So. Yeah, I totally agree. And if I suck, I just won't be invited back. Oh, no. I'll be like that. No, that, I don't be good. I'm excited because it's front of mine. He's, he's a solo artist. And I think he needs, for his shows, he needs a little bit, something else. But as, as, you know, when he records his songs, he obviously can change a lot of stuff in the recordings and add, you know, different layers on his own. He doesn't really need another singer. But I think for live performances, it's, it's, it's cool to add something else. Yeah. Exactly. Now, I thought that's how you work with a few people. It's Pazuma Therm and then isabella Rossellini and you worked with Spike Lee as well. And wow. That laughs. Yeah. Before me too. And then, is there anybody in the business that you would love to work with that you could see yourself working with? I mean, I would love to work with Ang Lee. I've, I've been a huge fan of his for a long time. I would love to work with Danny Boyle. Of course, now he's an Oscar winner. So, you know, that'll be even harder. And I, I like love, I love all his movies. I would love to work with Edward Norton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Zoe Deschanel. I don't know, like the people that I like love, like I'm, yeah, oh, oh, oh, hello? Yeah. I'm still here. Oh, gosh. Now I heard the British woman. She yelled in my ear. You are now in the HQ line. You are now in the queue. The queue is coming. Queue. Tell me. You too, lady. I love you. I love you. See, I'm glad. I'm glad it now happened to you. So now you know what I'm talking about. Oh my God. We find a different, mine is just telling me that your show, your show is getting the start in this and it's like 90 seconds and I'm like, all right, then I can read my switch board. Yeah, that's really annoying and very distracting. See. But, um, so anyway. And then just lost your train of thought. I know. And I was on something. I was on a roll. I was on a roll. I was talking about people I like that I would just like to work with. That's the way that Chanel and then you went into something and all of a sudden you started talking and it prompted you. I think, I mean, I obviously would love to work with all the actresses I mentioned before. I like my own street and, but I mean, you know, it's a, it's a dream, you know? I hope that, you know, there's so many great actors. And I think the hope is just to work with people that you can feed off well, you know, feed off of well and that are awesome and that inspire you. So. Have you ever, ever had a script, you read a script and you look at it and you basically sit there before you say anything, you probably would start laughing. If there are any times where you would do that and then go, what the hell am I really supposed to do this? You mean with a script that like has something so absurd in it? Yeah. Well, the most, the, the, the strange of things that I, well, okay, yes, there's, well, something happened in the movie in Serbia. I had to fight a naked zombie and that was a little disturbing and, and a little weird. But I made it true and I actually, that was the day that I came to set. I was the most scared out of like, I mean, I was just, I had no idea what, what I was going to do. I was going to not like hurt her, you know, I don't know, I needed to seem like a little crazy. So that's one thing. And, but mostly I, I'm, I'm amazed sometimes in auditions what, what they give you to do. I'm like, how do they expect you to die in front of them in like a tiny little cubicle without anyone else there and you're holding the paper in your hand? You know, whatever. I mean, it's just crazy stuff that you have to do for auditions. And usually it's, I think, pretty hard to do. I think it's harder to do that than to actually be on the set and be doing it. Right. Exactly. I'm trying to think anything that we, a script that I've read, I, I'm not really, I can't think of anything. Not really. Probably just. No. Just probably those, probably those two things other than that. Mm-hmm. I am in my, in the web series that I'm co-creating and that I'm playing the lead in. I mean, we have some ridiculously funny things going on in that. So, in our first episode that we shot, I play, I play a homeless, I mean, it's, in the beginning you think I'm homeless, but then you find out that I'm just a method actor and then I'm trying to be, you know, that I'm trying to see what it's like to be homeless. So, I actually, you know, got down and dirty and just like laid on the Venice Boardwalk for a bit and who knows what anybody's done on the Venice Boardwalk. You know, a little dirty, I would think, but, I mean, there's not, I don't know, I'm actually kind of, I don't know. You take whatever it's, you take whatever it's thrown at you and it's dry, basically. Uh-huh. Yeah. I'll tell you a good story, or do you have time? Yeah, I do. Okay. Um, there, I do the short film, um, with the lead singer of Fallout Boy, um, Patrick Stum. Okay. And it was just him and I, and we, uh, it'll come out, don't worry, like, it's, it's just like a little pet project of this guy. Um, and Patrick got into a bathtub with a full suit on with dirt, like, we just put a dirt, cause we all made it, the movie together, like we created it together. And so we were like, you know, this guy, you're going to be sitting in the bathtub and you're going to be cleaning him with a mop, but you're going to be cleaning all the dirt off him. And so we have to make the bathtub really dirty and we're going to put like, like, just nasty dirt in there. And so we put dirt and then we put water and he got in there with his whole suit on and he probably sat there, you know, in and out intermittently for an hour or something or an hour and a half, just soaking. And then I had to clean him with a mop. I mean, it was, it was so absurd. I was like, I can't believe he's doing this, but yeah, I mean, when you're, you know, it was hilarious and it's, it's going to be a great little short. So, you know, you do what you have to do to make it what it has to be, I think. That's kind of disgusting, isn't it? Yeah. She's like, oh, she's like just looking at that, makes me sick. She's like, what is that? What is he spitting in? I was like, sure. This is as long as it was dirt and not anything else. I mean, you know, I mean, though, it's still good stuff. I mean, why would, why would anyone know? Well, there are questions of the whole thing was a little absurd and there's no real answer as to why anything is happening. Yeah. But I hope I, I don't have to go through that, but if I do, I guess I'll take it all and stride. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of awful. You know, he, he did it very happily. I don't know. He was, he was remarkable, actually. I'm glad he, I'm glad that he, I'm glad that he enjoyed it. I mean, really, not a lot of people can say that I think I'm one of them, but man, I, there's absolutely no way that you would be able to get me to sit under and be clean off of the mouth. There's absolutely no way. Uh huh. In a suit, nonetheless. So you like wet clothes on you, you know, like that feeling, nasty feeling of wet clothes. Yeah. Well, on that note, on, on that note, this British woman is telling me that I have 30 seconds left. Okay. So I think we can help the air. It was, it was fun though. I'm, I'm glad that you came. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you so much for having me. We hope you come back any time. Door is open. Yeah. Well, when the movies all come out and we have an onslaught, um, I'd love to talk some more. Absolutely.
