WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.040 Hey, Atlanta. So I just want to let you know why I look 2 00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:06.440 at you every single day scaring me. Yeah, you know, when you 3 00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.199 came to Moheganson a few years ago, we took a picture and I have 4 00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.519 it up on my Look at me and how cool I am. While we 5 00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.759 look cute, we do look cute, and our hair was fantastic that day. 6 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.359 I have to point out, has good hair's day excellent? Now, 7 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.519 listen from from music to film to TV, you've you're pretty much covering the 8 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:25.839 gamut here. You're like a triple play. What will they call you? 9 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:29.920 A triple threat? Some sort of thing going on something? And before we 10 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.359 get into your Weeds role, because I understand it's it's something to giggle out 11 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.159 a little bit. But I loved your appearance on Graham Norton. By the 12 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.200 way, Oh thanks, No one talks about that. That's exciting. You're 13 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.520 an ordained minister, right, I ain't home and you can actually marry people 14 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.920 and that and I saw that episode. It was hysterical. Oh that's funny. 15 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.079 Yeah, he was funny. And then I was with Dame Edmund who 16 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.479 was totally cracking me up. Now, had you marry a lot of people? 17 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.079 I've married three of my friends who are now married. I was going 18 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.000 to say three couple of friend who are now married. So let's talk about 19 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.640 Weeds who. The show has been on since I think like August two thousand 20 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:07.879 and five on Showtime, so I think they're going to keep it around. 21 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.760 It's a hit, it's such a good show. Wow, Mary Louise Parker, 22 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.599 love her anyway, but what is your character going to be on Weeds? 23 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.239 I portray Mary Louise Parker's character as Nancy's gynecologist and her brother in law, 24 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.760 Andy's love interest. I can't say love interest for romantic interaction. I 25 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.319 don't know what you'd call it exactly. Well, it's showtime and it's not 26 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.120 for children, so we can just leave it at that. Okay, let's 27 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:38.840 do say it there. Yeah. It was a really wonderfully daunting foray into 28 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.719 formal acting for me, and you know, two of some of the best 29 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.879 doctors I've ever seen, let alone had the privilege to dive into like this. 30 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.920 Now, had you want to to ever pursue a career in gynecology before 31 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:55.680 this? No, I needed some severe orientation on the set because I really 32 00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.799 didn't know what I was doing. I was looking in all the wrong places 33 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:02.680 for heartbeats and be beheads, and that's that's a little too visual for me. 34 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.319 I think my brain just went places it shouldn't have gone. Yeah, 35 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:08.960 well, you know, I was acting. I'm not really an Ada and 36 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.000 obviously, Oh I'm sorry. I thought you got your degree and that's how 37 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.599 you're able to be that character. I apologize. So will there ever be 38 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.080 any moments during the filming of this this show, and I don't know how 39 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.520 long you've signed on to do it, will you ever break into song while 40 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.319 you're in the examination room? No, that would have been a little odd, 41 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:31.280 I would think so, but a little funny. Yeah, funny for 42 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.960 them? Yeah, Now is this going to be an ongoing character? Are 43 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.759 you going to stay with the show or did you sign on just for a 44 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.879 few episodes. I don't know. I'm not really invested. But I've had 45 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.400 the greatest time, so I would be up for doing anything for them. 46 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.639 Basically, they're awesome. What's the difference between acting for you versus being on 47 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.400 stage? Is it Is it the same kind of feeling, that same kind 48 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.960 of high as performing or is it different? It's a little different. I 49 00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.520 always think of it in terms of you know, acting to me is really 50 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.719 mascule and that I have to memorize things. It's more of an active consideration, 51 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.639 whereas on stage and especially songwriting, you know, I have to show 52 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.120 up and be masculine in that way, but it's very surrendered and trance like 53 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.560 and I just kind of lose myself in it. So you know, it's 54 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.159 a different muscle altogether. Also, it's not these words aren't words that I've 55 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:22.479 written, so it's my interpreting someone else's work, whereas songwriting is directly from 56 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.000 my life experience, so very different. That's cool. And you've done a 57 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.520 lot of different TV shows. I loved your appearance on Niptock. I love 58 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.240 that show anyway, but I thought you did a great job there. Thanks. 59 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:36.280 Yeah, that was a cool, cool three episode extravaganza too. That 60 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.879 was fun. And of course Sex and the City, Curb Your Enthusiasm, 61 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.800 and any other TV shows outside of you know, when you first got your 62 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.919 STARTPA. Any other TV shows that you've done that we don't know about. 63 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.960 Trying to remember none that I'm remembering right now. I did a show called 64 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.879 Love Spring International, which was all improv, which is one of my favorite 65 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.120 things. To do, but it was more of a culty a culty thing 66 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.800 and a show called Headcase, which is another maybe lesser known television show, 67 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.960 but really really fun. Do you have any more movie projects in the future. 68 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.599 Yeah, I'm attached to a few of them right now. None that 69 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.919 I'm at liberty to fully talk about. But but I'm opituded. It allows, 70 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.919 you know, my not being on tour allows for my committing to these 71 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.639 kinds of things, whereas when I was touring, I could only do a 72 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.079 little cameo here and there. So I'm very excited about some time being freed 73 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.639 up. I always love looking at different pictures of you because you sometimes you 74 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.279 hear a different color, it's short. When you had to hear short, 75 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.759 people lost their minds. Just like that girl from Felicity, Carrie Russell, 76 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.000 when she cut her hair, I thought people were going to pass out. 77 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.439 Oh, it's a right of passage. Though as a woman, you have 78 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.399 to chop it all off at some point, right, you have to have 79 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.720 different hairstyles. Oh, I got I'm getting the beat. I'm gonna have 80 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.560 to wrap up with you. Thanks for chatting with us, Thanks for having 81 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:45.319 me. Bye.
