Rob. 567 00:24:39,077 --> 00:24:41,480 So what we do is we have a back story 568 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,083 and how we communicate that back story is through our improv. 569 00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:48,053 Yeah. So that's that's where I would say the improv comes in it. 570 00:24:48,053 --> 00:24:49,754 Wow. Yeah. 571 00:24:49,754 --> 00:24:52,858 So you're directing but you're acting in this one also. 572 00:24:52,891 --> 00:24:54,459 Yes, I am. Okay. 573 00:24:54,459 --> 00:24:55,293 I always admire that. 574 00:24:55,293 --> 00:24:58,530 You know, when you say directed by and the person starring are there 575 00:24:58,530 --> 00:25:00,765 and they're the two because that's it's a lot more work. 576 00:25:00,765 --> 00:25:02,601 I mean, how do you direct yourself sometimes? 577 00:25:02,601 --> 00:25:07,172 I think that it's just being honest with myself and being open, you know? 578 00:25:07,172 --> 00:25:10,175 And the great thing is that we always have a genius at all of our rehearsals. 579 00:25:10,208 --> 00:25:14,012 I oh, Janis is always, you know, provided her input, you know, 580 00:25:14,546 --> 00:25:17,449 providing her a redirection, even for someone like me. 581 00:25:17,449 --> 00:25:17,816 Yeah. 582 00:25:17,816 --> 00:25:21,820 I may be one of the directors, but she's also like, I work with her so, so close. 583 00:25:21,820 --> 00:25:22,921 Or hand the hand 584 00:25:22,921 --> 00:25:27,425 that, you know, I'll try certain things to see fit, to see how it fits, you know? 585 00:25:27,425 --> 00:25:30,061 So I'm not afraid to to give her something that she says. 586 00:25:30,061 --> 00:25:30,695 You know what, Chris? 587 00:25:30,695 --> 00:25:32,597 This doesn't work, you know, so that's, 588 00:25:32,597 --> 00:25:35,567 you know, so let's try another another avenue now my okay Janice. 589 00:25:35,567 --> 00:25:37,502 And that just gets my creative juices flowing. 590 00:25:37,502 --> 00:25:41,940 Because if I do one, if I do a scene one way and she's like, it doesn't work. 591 00:25:41,940 --> 00:25:44,342 And you know what? Maybe I could do it this way. 592 00:25:44,342 --> 00:25:46,945 Or maybe I could just add this to it to make it work. 593 00:25:46,945 --> 00:25:49,948 Or if I if I'm really strong in it as I if it didn't work, 594 00:25:49,981 --> 00:25:52,951 how can I make it work by going to Uncle Franco and asking him. 595 00:25:52,951 --> 00:25:53,919 Yes. Right. Hey, 596 00:25:55,253 --> 00:25:56,221 Franco, what do you think? 597 00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:58,356 But it really is about humility, isn't it? 598 00:25:58,356 --> 00:26:00,659 You really have to have you military. 599 00:26:00,659 --> 00:26:03,662 So I think humility is an overrated virtue. 600 00:26:06,431 --> 00:26:09,200 So I said this about humility. 601 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,037 Being an actor is one of the most humbling things 602 00:26:12,037 --> 00:26:13,471 that you could be in this world. 603 00:26:13,471 --> 00:26:17,342 And the reason being is you are time and time again, sharing your gifts 604 00:26:17,342 --> 00:26:19,277 with people who may connect with it 605 00:26:19,277 --> 00:26:22,614 or they may not, you know, and if people don't, you know, 606 00:26:22,914 --> 00:26:26,084 we've all seen movies that we say, oh, the acting, the hair is horrible. 607 00:26:26,851 --> 00:26:30,622 But if we allow that to really, determine 608 00:26:31,456 --> 00:26:34,593 if we continue to pursue this, there's, you know, this course of acting, then, 609 00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:36,595 you know, a lot of us probably won't be acting. 610 00:26:36,595 --> 00:26:38,897 It takes a lot of courage, you know, to be a comedian. 611 00:26:38,897 --> 00:26:41,499 I see comedians up there. How many times they'd have to fail. 612 00:26:41,499 --> 00:26:41,833 You know what? 613 00:26:41,833 --> 00:26:44,603 The times that they go out there and nobody laughs, right? Yeah. 614 00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:47,606 And that takes a lot of guts to go back out there and do it again 615 00:26:47,639 --> 00:26:48,139 because you're, 616 00:26:48,139 --> 00:26:49,975 you're out there basically pouring your heart out 617 00:26:49,975 --> 00:26:51,977 and you're out there by yourself on a stage. 618 00:26:51,977 --> 00:26:54,479 It's almost like being, you know, naked in a sense. 619 00:26:54,479 --> 00:26:56,548 Yeah, I can do this every day of the week. 620 00:26:56,548 --> 00:26:59,217 I could never do stand up. No, never. 621 00:26:59,217 --> 00:27:02,787 No, no, I mean it because it's different is, is is one thing for me 622 00:27:02,787 --> 00:27:05,857 to say something that, that you guys don't expect and laugh at it, 623 00:27:06,024 --> 00:27:08,293 but it's a something totally different to say okay. 624 00:27:08,293 --> 00:27:09,094 Make me laugh. 625 00:27:09,094 --> 00:27:12,030 Big difference to what I just see on TV. 626 00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:18,036 Tim, the comedian Tim Allen, Tim Allen said the first time 627 00:27:18,036 --> 00:27:23,241 he was on a Johnny Carson show, he bombed so bad 628 00:27:23,608 --> 00:27:26,444 that even Johnny told him he did. 629 00:27:26,444 --> 00:27:30,448 And, but he already he was already acting 630 00:27:31,082 --> 00:27:34,185 and he wanted to do the his standup. 631 00:27:34,185 --> 00:27:36,154 Yeah. So this is what I do. Yeah. 632 00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:39,157 But when he walked out to that stage 633 00:27:39,424 --> 00:27:44,295 with that many people looking at him and it was a whole different ambiance 634 00:27:44,295 --> 00:27:47,999 going to it, NBC production, he froze. 635 00:27:48,333 --> 00:27:50,935 He I mean, you see the camera's looking at you. 636 00:27:50,935 --> 00:27:52,604 You think?

And I guess when. 640 00:27:58,943 --> 00:27:59,778 What is that saying? 641 00:27:59,778 --> 00:28:02,080 When you fall off the horse, get back on it.
