Allegra Edwards: You're in Los Angeles, yes yes, we live in

52

01:52 ,704 --> 00:01:56,069

Allegra Edwards: North Hollywood, so thankfully, every day

53

01:56 ,169 --> 00:01:57,640

Allegra Edwards: is basically the same weather-wise.

54

01:57 ,942 --> 00:02:00,597

Allegra Edwards: We don't have to worry about gales at

55

02:00 ,618 --> 00:02:00,839

Allegra Edwards: midnight.

56

02:01 ,642 --> 00:02:02,786

Marc Preston: Yeah, once upon a time I used to live in

57

02:02 ,806 --> 00:02:05,204

Marc Preston: Southern California, people like how could

58

02:05 ,224 --> 00:02:06,006

Marc Preston: you live there?

59

02:06 ,047 --> 00:02:06,889

Marc Preston: It's like an incubator.

60

02:07 ,120 --> 00:02:09,362

Marc Preston: I'm like, oh, I like that, being from Texas

61

02:09 ,422 --> 00:02:11,307

Marc Preston: originally and having crazy hot

62

02:11 ,347 --> 00:02:12,971

Marc Preston: temperatures and crazy cold temperatures,

63

02:13 ,621 --> 00:02:15,767

Marc Preston: and I kind of like the level vibe that.

64

02:16 ,308 --> 00:02:16,529

Announcer: Southern.

65

02:16 ,569 --> 00:02:17,290

Marc Preston: California brought.

66

02:18 ,161 --> 00:02:20,065

Marc Preston: But okay, I want to say congratulations on

67

02:20 ,867 --> 00:02:22,591

Marc Preston: actually getting into the second season of

68

02:22 ,871 --> 00:02:23,292

Marc Preston: upload.

69

02:23 ,701 --> 00:02:25,863

Marc Preston: They were a quick question Is it only seven

70

02:25 ,923 --> 00:02:28,543

Marc Preston: episodes this season or is it I was going?

71

02:28 ,583 --> 00:02:31,409

Marc Preston: Okay, is Amazon just going to release some

72

02:31 ,529 --> 00:02:33,773

Marc Preston: episodes later, like every week?

73

02:34 ,040 --> 00:02:36,068

Allegra Edwards: Yeah, we've gotten that question a bunch

74

02:36 ,420 --> 00:02:39,710

Allegra Edwards: and I do think because they do that for

75

02:39 ,750 --> 00:02:41,183

Allegra Edwards: other seasons I know with Maisel, for

76

02:41 ,243 --> 00:02:43,369

Allegra Edwards: example they kind of do it in chunks, right

77

02:43 ,920 --> 00:02:46,748

Allegra Edwards: and no, we wanted to do every episode all

78

02:46 ,788 --> 00:02:47,109

Allegra Edwards: at once.

79

02:48 ,301 --> 00:02:50,606

Allegra Edwards: And I do think it's important to point out

80

02:51 ,468 --> 00:02:53,853

Allegra Edwards: that we did our best shooting during COVID

81

02:54 ,160 --> 00:02:57,593

Allegra Edwards: and getting seven episodes in was as much

82

02:57 ,633 --> 00:02:59,219

Allegra Edwards: as we were able to do within the same

83

02:59 ,259 --> 00:03:00,685

Allegra Edwards: amount of time that it would normally take

84

03:00 ,745 --> 00:03:01,207

Allegra Edwards: us to film.

85

03:01 ,480 --> 00:03:02,765

Marc Preston: That was literally going to be my next

86

03:02 ,825 --> 00:03:03,106

Marc Preston: question.

87

03:04 ,406 --> 00:03:06,200

Marc Preston: How was that COVID shooting thing?

88

03:06 ,220 --> 00:03:09,126

Marc Preston: I was talking with someone else who's on

89

03:09 ,146 --> 00:03:11,030

Marc Preston: the show a couple of weeks ago and they

90

03:11 ,050 --> 00:03:13,844

Marc Preston: said it's a big pain in the butt but it's

91

03:13 ,984 --> 00:03:14,466

Marc Preston: what we had to do.

92

03:15 ,980 --> 00:03:16,262

Marc Preston: It is.

93

03:17 ,261 --> 00:03:17,963

Allegra Edwards: It was.

94

03:18 ,083 --> 00:03:21,643

Allegra Edwards: It's everything is just slow, it just takes

95

03:21 ,763 --> 00:03:26,824

Allegra Edwards: longer to do every little thing, and so the

96

03:26 ,884 --> 00:03:28,968

Allegra Edwards: metaphor that I had been using was like the

97

03:29 ,028 --> 00:03:32,922

Allegra Edwards: train is moving, but we're all pushing it

98

03:33 ,123 --> 00:03:34,928

Allegra Edwards: and it feels like it's uphill.

99

03:36 ,120 --> 00:03:38,445

Allegra Edwards: So you can still get from point A to point

100

03:38 ,465 --> 00:03:42,332

Allegra Edwards: B, but there's just a lot of hoops to jump

101

03:42 ,372 --> 00:03:42,553

Allegra Edwards: through.

102

03:43 ,380 --> 00:03:45,806

Allegra Edwards: So probably fortunately now, after the

103

03:45 ,866 --> 00:03:47,670

Allegra Edwards: rollout of the vaccine, it's probably

104

03:47 ,730 --> 00:03:48,552

Allegra Edwards: greatly improved.

105

03:48 ,840 --> 00:03:52,061

Allegra Edwards: But we were filming pre-vaccine, so that

106

03:52 ,282 --> 00:03:53,166

Allegra Edwards: that made a difference too.

107

03:53 ,600 --> 00:03:54,978

Allegra Edwards: Everybody had to get tested five days.

108

03:55 ,402 --> 00:03:56,732

Marc Preston: Well, a lot of the things I noticed and I

109

03:56 ,772 --> 00:03:57,840

Marc Preston: kind of want to go go to a little bit of

110

03:57 ,900 --> 00:03:59,123

Marc Preston: your origin story in a moment.

111

03:59 ,143 --> 00:04:01,328

Marc Preston: But I wanted to say I realized and I went

112

04:01 ,368 --> 00:04:04,783

Marc Preston: back to the first season because I wrapped

113

04:04 ,863 --> 00:04:07,590

Marc Preston: up last season last night and are the most

114

04:07 ,630 --> 00:04:10,234

Marc Preston: recent season and I was like you know this

115

04:10 ,393 --> 00:04:13,066

Marc Preston: is not because you're here with me, but I'd

116

04:13 ,225 --> 00:04:15,583

Marc Preston: say you are the most intriguing character

117

04:16 ,064 --> 00:04:17,126

Marc Preston: because you're the one has the most

118

04:17 ,166 --> 00:04:18,790

Marc Preston: interesting, I think, story arc.

119

04:18 ,810 --> 00:04:20,273

Marc Preston: You're just a hot mess in the first season,

120

04:21 ,101 --> 00:04:23,026

Marc Preston: but if you can go from being a hot mess to

121

04:23 ,066 --> 00:04:25,632

Marc Preston: like where people are feeling empathy for

122

04:25 ,760 --> 00:04:27,169

Marc Preston: you, that's the, that's the money.

123

04:27 ,230 --> 00:04:28,438

Marc Preston: Right there where you're, you're kind of,

124

04:28 ,458 --> 00:04:29,802

Marc Preston: you know you get people like she's

125

04:29 ,842 --> 00:04:30,825

Marc Preston: ridiculous but we love her.

126

04:30 ,885 --> 00:04:33,310

Marc Preston: You know that that.

127

04:33 ,350 --> 00:04:35,522

Marc Preston: But your story, your story line and I don't

128

04:35 ,562 --> 00:04:37,167

Marc Preston: want to give any kind of spoilers away, but

129

04:37 ,849 --> 00:04:40,083

Marc Preston: and this isn't but you are definitely

130

04:41 ,206 --> 00:04:43,721

Marc Preston: throughout the arc of the of the show A lot

131

04:43 ,741 --> 00:04:45,646

Marc Preston: of your scenes seem to be just you, you

132

04:45 ,706 --> 00:04:47,291

Marc Preston: having personal introspection time.

133

04:47 ,860 --> 00:04:50,471

Marc Preston: When Greg Daniels approached you with this

134

04:48 Greg Daniels' Vision for Character Ingrid

04:50 ,552 --> 00:04:52,480

Marc Preston: story the, the, the, what the show is going

135

04:52 ,480 --> 00:04:54,125

Marc Preston: to be about did you understand what it was

136

04:54 ,246 --> 00:04:54,687

Marc Preston: out of the gate?

137

04:55 ,520 --> 00:04:57,445

Marc Preston: Or what did he say as kind of a two-part

138

04:57 ,465 --> 00:04:59,370

Marc Preston: question, that he also say kind of run with

139

04:59 ,431 --> 00:05:01,764

Marc Preston: a, create, or did he have a very specific

140

05:01 ,865 --> 00:05:04,450

Marc Preston: idea of what he wanted your character to be?

141

05:05 ,640 --> 00:05:07,026

Allegra Edwards: You know it's a really I.

142

05:07 ,608 --> 00:05:09,596

Allegra Edwards: I don't think I've ever actually asked him

143

05:09 ,636 --> 00:05:12,644

Allegra Edwards: directly how much he had in mind for

144

05:13 ,065 --> 00:05:16,112

Allegra Edwards: Ingrid's trajectory at the start.

145

05:16 ,940 --> 00:05:20,668

Allegra Edwards: I do know that he has always thought of her

146

05:20 ,768 --> 00:05:23,073

Allegra Edwards: as being more than meets the eye.

147

05:23 ,340 --> 00:05:28,368

Allegra Edwards: I think he always knew from season one that

148

05:28 ,769 --> 00:05:31,533

Allegra Edwards: there would be a little misdirection about

149

05:32 ,760 --> 00:05:34,646

Allegra Edwards: what she seems capable of, in terms of

150

05:34 ,747 --> 00:05:37,015

Allegra Edwards: being quite menacing or villainous, versus

151

05:38 ,299 --> 00:05:40,325

Allegra Edwards: what she actually did, which is a bit more

152

05:40 ,666 --> 00:05:43,442

Allegra Edwards: brave, courageous and sacrificial, and so I

153

05:43 ,502 --> 00:05:45,288

Allegra Edwards: think that was always percolating for him.

154

05:45 ,601 --> 00:05:49,141

Allegra Edwards: I had no idea where she was headed, I think.

155

05:49 ,942 --> 00:05:51,866

Allegra Edwards: I think there was a little thought that he

156

05:51 ,926 --> 00:05:55,233

Allegra Edwards: gave me, as if it was a possibility.

157

05:55 ,520 --> 00:05:58,428

Allegra Edwards: He was like, what if she's protective?

158

05:59 ,560 --> 00:06:01,604

Allegra Edwards: What if she is?

159

06:02 ,867 --> 00:06:07,503

Allegra Edwards: She feels very defensive of him, and and

160

06:07 ,523 --> 00:06:09,707

Allegra Edwards: that was actually just enough of a seed, no

161

06:09 ,747 --> 00:06:13,201

Allegra Edwards: matter how it manifested or grew, to make

162

06:13 ,241 --> 00:06:15,428

Allegra Edwards: me feel like I could connect with her.

163

06:15 ,960 --> 00:06:17,344

Marc Preston: Did you buy any chance to go to high school

164

06:17 ,364 --> 00:06:18,388

Marc Preston: with anybody like that?

165

06:18 ,428 --> 00:06:18,628

Marc Preston: That?

166

06:18 ,689 --> 00:06:19,702

Marc Preston: You're like, okay, I'm going to.

167

06:19 ,843 --> 00:06:20,646

Marc Preston: We don't have to name names.

168

06:21 ,040 --> 00:06:22,405

Marc Preston: Was there somebody in your orbit or your

169

06:22 ,465 --> 00:06:23,449

Marc Preston: ecosystem growing up?

170

06:23 ,620 --> 00:06:25,327

Marc Preston: You're like, okay, this, this is her.

171

06:25 ,600 --> 00:06:27,166

Marc Preston: I'm going to kind of like tap in using her

172

06:27 ,206 --> 00:06:28,029

Marc Preston: as my spirit animal.

173

06:28 ,200 --> 00:06:29,163

Marc Preston: Did you have anybody like that?

174

06:29 ,384 --> 00:06:33,644

Allegra Edwards: Yeah, not, not in my personal life, because

175

06:33 ,684 --> 00:06:39,254

Allegra Edwards: I think I probably would mostly avoid

176

06:39 ,354 --> 00:06:40,623

Allegra Edwards: people that she's.

177

06:40 ,663 --> 00:06:41,567

Allegra Edwards: She's quite extreme.

178

06:41 ,800 --> 00:06:45,607

Allegra Edwards: So I actually only found examples of the

179

06:46 ,469 --> 00:06:49,074

Allegra Edwards: ingrid for me in reality television.

180

06:49 ,280 --> 00:06:50,404

Allegra Edwards: So there are a couple of people in the

181

06:50 ,444 --> 00:06:54,298

Allegra Edwards: world of Bravo let's just say Bravo TV,

182

06:54 ,699 --> 00:06:58,304

Allegra Edwards: maybe some Netflix reality shows that that

183

06:58 ,644 --> 00:07:03,054

Allegra Edwards: are unapologetically extreme and that I

184

07:03 ,095 --> 00:07:04,137

Allegra Edwards: just find fascinating.

185

07:05 ,325 --> 00:07:07,191

Allegra Edwards: But they also still have some vulnerable

186

07:07 ,653 --> 00:07:09,027

Allegra Edwards: elements to them, I you know.

187

07:09 ,829 --> 00:07:11,875

Allegra Edwards: But no it's hard to find people in my

188

07:11 ,915 --> 00:07:12,436

Allegra Edwards: personal life.

189

07:13 ,745 --> 00:07:14,186

Marc Preston: Well, that's good.

190

07:14 ,267 --> 00:07:16,133

Marc Preston: what are they called these days, unscripted,

192

07:18 ,028 --> 00:07:21,296

Marc Preston: you know, tv Is that kind of your guilty

193

07:21 ,356 --> 00:07:22,628

Marc Preston: pleasure, kind of like something you dive

194

07:22 ,668 --> 00:07:24,354

Marc Preston: into, or it was a strictly research.

195

07:26 ,731 --> 00:07:28,055

Allegra Edwards: I would love to say that it's strictly

196

07:28 ,115 --> 00:07:28,536

Allegra Edwards: research.

197

07:30 ,126 --> 00:07:32,231

Allegra Edwards: It is a guilty pleasure, but within, in

198

07:32 ,371 --> 00:07:32,993

Allegra Edwards: moderation.

199

07:33 ,253 --> 00:07:35,238

Allegra Edwards: I'm not like diehard.

200

07:35 ,405 --> 00:07:36,909

203

07:40 ,548 --> 00:07:41,550

Allegra Edwards: You know, I do.

204

07:41 ,570 --> 00:07:44,577

Allegra Edwards: I go onto YouTube and I watch recaps of

205

07:44 ,617 --> 00:07:45,708

Allegra Edwards: reality television.

206

07:45 ,789 --> 00:07:48,100

Allegra Edwards: So I feel better about not spending two

207

07:48 ,201 --> 00:07:48,944

Allegra Edwards: hours of time.

208

07:49 ,205 --> 00:07:51,733

Marc Preston: Well, I will admit I'm not into reality TV,

209

07:51 ,773 --> 00:07:53,166

Marc Preston: but there was, you know, because I'm.

Marc Preston: But?

215

08:00 ,927 --> 00:08:02,492

Marc Preston: Lifetime it was.

217

08:03 ,665 --> 00:08:06,292

Marc Preston: It was a scripted series about making a

218

08:06 ,352 --> 00:08:08,185

Marc Preston: reality show, and I cannot, for the life of

219

08:08 ,205 --> 00:08:09,128

Marc Preston: me, remember the name of it.

220

08:09 ,369 --> 00:08:10,614

Marc Preston: Where did you grow up?

226

08:20 ,752 --> 00:08:21,956

Marc Preston: Are you from Southern California?

227

08:22 ,506 --> 00:08:23,910

Allegra Edwards: I moved all over the place when I was

228

08:23 ,951 --> 00:08:25,615

Allegra Edwards: growing up, so I was born in the Bay Area,

229

08:25 ,965 --> 00:08:28,031

Allegra Edwards: then we moved to Southern California, then

230

08:28 ,152 --> 00:08:30,588

Allegra Edwards: Virginia, then Colorado, then Hawaii, then

231

08:30 ,608 --> 00:08:32,595

Allegra Edwards: back to Colorado, all before high school,

232

08:32 ,745 --> 00:08:34,430

Allegra Edwards: all before graduating and going to college.

233

08:34 ,450 --> 00:08:35,935

Marc Preston: Was your father in a military or?

234

08:36 ,985 --> 00:08:38,931

Allegra Edwards: That's the next question everybody asks and

235

08:38 ,991 --> 00:08:41,508

Allegra Edwards: it's not no, I he, those just happened to

236

08:41 ,568 --> 00:08:43,874

Allegra Edwards: be like states with a strong military

237

08:43 ,934 --> 00:08:47,030

Allegra Edwards: presence and he, you know, maybe he was,

238

08:47 ,150 --> 00:08:48,273

Allegra Edwards: and he just never told us.

239

08:48 ,473 --> 00:08:52,093

Allegra Edwards: But um uh no, he was in consulting and

240

08:52 ,133 --> 00:08:55,112

Allegra Edwards: fundraising, and so I tend to say that I'm

241

08:55 ,132 --> 00:08:57,633

Allegra Edwards: from Colorado, but I actually do feel like

242

08:57 ,673 --> 00:09:00,205

Allegra Edwards: I have a background in each of those areas.

243

09:00 ,225 --> 00:09:01,730

Marc Preston: Well, I'm very envious that you, that you,

244

09:01 ,771 --> 00:09:02,654

09:11 ,865 --> 00:09:13,150

Marc Preston: I don't have to move out there also.

251

09:13 ,310 --> 00:09:14,775

Marc Preston: of that was going up.

256

09:24 ,206 --> 00:09:25,630

Marc Preston: It doesn't sound good but it is.

257

09:25 ,770 --> 00:09:28,647

Marc Preston: You know, um, now, now, were you, were you

258

09:28 ,707 --> 00:09:31,179

Marc Preston: kind of the quintessential, uh high school

259

09:31 ,199 --> 00:09:31,802

Marc Preston: theater kid?

260

09:32 ,284 --> 00:09:34,882

Marc Preston: Uh, were you, uh, were you going to

261

09:34 ,942 --> 00:09:36,850

Marc Preston: auditions, kind of where was the genesis of,

262

09:36 ,931 --> 00:09:37,894

Marc Preston: kind of how you landed here?

263

09:38 ,926 --> 00:09:39,668

Allegra Edwards: Yeah, yeah.

264

09:39 ,708 --> 00:09:41,795

Allegra Edwards: So I started, uh, really little.

265

09:42 ,847 --> 00:09:45,755

Allegra Edwards: I was involved in dance from a very early

266

09:45 ,956 --> 00:09:48,856

Allegra Edwards: age and then my dance studio offered

267

09:49 ,458 --> 00:09:51,125

Allegra Edwards: theater camps during the summer and then

268

09:51 ,366 --> 00:09:53,013

Allegra Edwards: modeling classes as well.

269

09:53 ,314 --> 00:09:55,684

Allegra Edwards: And then, um, I just got exposed to a lot

270

09:55 ,704 --> 00:09:58,437

Allegra Edwards: of theater very early and my parents would

271

09:58 ,457 --> 00:10:00,526

Allegra Edwards: actually take me to touring Broadway

272

10:00 ,586 --> 00:10:04,135

Allegra Edwards: productions, um, when I was six, seven,

273

10:04 ,276 --> 00:10:08,515

Allegra Edwards: eight, um they, they exposed me to it often

274

10:08 ,756 --> 00:10:09,278

Allegra Edwards: and early.

275

10:09 ,820 --> 00:10:12,910

Allegra Edwards: And then in high school I was in the improv

276

10:12 ,950 --> 00:10:13,331

Allegra Edwards: troupe.

277

10:13 ,993 --> 00:10:15,256

Allegra Edwards: I auditioned for every play.

278

10:15 ,847 --> 00:10:18,595

Allegra Edwards: Um, yeah, that was my world, Absolutely.

279

10:19 ,706 --> 00:10:20,267

Marc Preston: Yeah, it's so funny.

280

10:20 ,308 --> 00:10:20,769

Marc Preston: I envy the.

281

10:21 ,030 --> 00:10:22,013

Marc Preston: I ended up doing this.

282

10:22 ,535 --> 00:10:25,141

Marc Preston: Um, I started at 17 working in radio in

283

10:25 ,181 --> 00:10:27,255

Marc Preston: Dallas, where I'm from, and I knew all the

284

10:27 ,295 --> 00:10:28,222

Marc Preston: kids at the theater kids.

285

10:28 Distinguishing Drama From Theatricality

10:28 ,242 --> 00:10:30,294

Marc Preston: I'm like I was like that's, that's a very

286

10:30 ,355 --> 00:10:31,562

Marc Preston: dramatic bunch of people.

287

10:31 ,622 --> 00:10:33,333

Marc Preston: You mean I couldn't, I, I didn't realize.

288

10:33 ,474 --> 00:10:35,044

Marc Preston: Actually that's my tribe, you know, and I

289

10:35 ,064 --> 00:10:36,673

Marc Preston: never I don't blows my mind.

290

10:36 ,713 --> 00:10:38,624

Marc Preston: Actually there is a uh couple of people I

291

10:38 ,644 --> 00:10:39,166

Marc Preston: went to school.

292

10:39 ,267 --> 00:10:39,909

Marc Preston: One's a director.

293

10:39 ,969 --> 00:10:42,547

Marc Preston: Now I got one guy a screenwriter and, uh, I

294

10:42 ,568 --> 00:10:43,517

Marc Preston: was like I should have hung out with him

295

10:43 ,558 --> 00:10:43,699

Marc Preston: more.

296

10:43 ,719 --> 00:10:44,927

Marc Preston: I would have gotten some more, uh more

297

10:44 ,967 --> 00:10:45,791

Marc Preston: credits on IMDB.

298

10:46 ,433 --> 00:10:48,832

Allegra Edwards: Um, I want to point out, like that is

299

10:48 ,892 --> 00:10:52,068

Allegra Edwards: something that, like I think people say, oh

300

10:52 ,088 --> 00:10:54,006

Allegra Edwards: they're, they're so dramatic, like there's

301

10:54 ,046 --> 00:10:55,230

Allegra Edwards: actually a difference between being

302

10:55 ,270 --> 00:10:58,649

Allegra Edwards: dramatic and being theatrical and um, and I

303

10:58 ,709 --> 00:11:00,955

Allegra Edwards: think you know what I mean there's actually

304

11:01 ,425 --> 00:11:03,652

Allegra Edwards: I don't know if there's much drama in the

305

11:03 ,672 --> 00:11:04,454

Allegra Edwards: drama department.

306

11:04 ,494 --> 00:11:07,349

Allegra Edwards: Necessarily there is theatricality, there's

307

11:07 ,469 --> 00:11:11,506

Allegra Edwards: size, there's certainly hams and clowns, um,

308

11:12 ,348 --> 00:11:14,474

Allegra Edwards: but uh, but yeah, I think those words get

309

11:14 ,514 --> 00:11:16,790

Allegra Edwards: swapped often and and I'm on a mission to

310

11:16 ,850 --> 00:11:19,353

Allegra Edwards: swap them back no, and I agree with you.

311

11:19 ,675 --> 00:11:20,924

Allegra Edwards: I kind of use an example of uh.

312

11:21 ,165 --> 00:11:22,951

Marc Preston: John Lovitz's character on Saturday Night

313

11:22 ,971 --> 00:11:25,512

Marc Preston: Live and he I've I don't know the name of

314

11:25 ,532 --> 00:11:26,962

Marc Preston: the character, but he would always see

315

11:26 ,982 --> 00:11:28,207

Marc Preston: people think he was being serious, it's

316

11:28 ,228 --> 00:11:28,368

Marc Preston: like.

317

11:28 ,408 --> 00:11:29,833

Marc Preston: But I was acting, you see.

318

11:29 ,873 --> 00:11:32,209

Announcer: you know it was it was a bit of a thespian.

319

11:32 ,249 --> 00:11:34,988

Marc Preston: you see, you know, um, but yeah, so so you

320

11:35 ,008 --> 00:11:35,189

Marc Preston: were.

321

11:35 ,631 --> 00:11:37,539

Marc Preston: Was it trajectory to stay on this path?

322

11:37 ,720 --> 00:11:39,733

Marc Preston: Or when you got to college, where you did,

323

11:39 ,753 --> 00:11:41,165

Marc Preston: you have that, your parents are like, okay,

324

11:41 ,245 --> 00:11:43,443

Marc Preston: now you can have to have a bear for a real

325

11:43 ,503 --> 00:11:45,153

Marc Preston: job, but this acting thing doesn't work out.

326

11:45 ,696 --> 00:11:47,225

Marc Preston: Uh, did you go that path or did you just

327

11:47 ,285 --> 00:11:47,646

Marc Preston: stay on?

328

11:47 ,667 --> 00:11:49,714

Marc Preston: Track with your theatrical vibe.

329

11:50 ,406 --> 00:11:54,908

Allegra Edwards: I, I had no other interest, I had nothing

330

11:54 ,988 --> 00:11:57,386

Allegra Edwards: else pulling me in any other direction and

331

11:57 ,526 --> 00:12:00,233

Allegra Edwards: I had two parents that said go for it.

332

12:01 ,156 --> 00:12:05,794

Allegra Edwards: And that I realize now especially is such a

333

12:05 ,835 --> 00:12:06,155

Allegra Edwards: gift.

334

12:07 ,231 --> 00:12:10,047

Allegra Edwards: They were never pressuring me yeah To, to

335

12:10 ,087 --> 00:12:12,253

Allegra Edwards: build in any backdoors for myself and I

336

12:12 ,293 --> 00:12:13,477

Allegra Edwards: know part of it may have been.

337

12:14 ,167 --> 00:12:17,552

Allegra Edwards: You know, my dad, um, went to Stanford and

338

12:17 ,713 --> 00:12:20,184

Allegra Edwards: studied economics because that was the only

339

12:20 ,224 --> 00:12:22,171

Allegra Edwards: way his father would pay for his education

340

12:22 ,231 --> 00:12:24,569

Allegra Edwards: is if he went to school for econ and then

341

12:24 ,770 --> 00:12:27,607

Allegra Edwards: all of his extracurriculars, um, and

342

12:27 ,647 --> 00:12:30,739

Allegra Edwards: electives were in theater and he'd get just

343

12:31 ,040 --> 00:12:34,831

Allegra Edwards: seas in in, you know, in economics, but

344

12:35 ,072 --> 00:12:37,779

Allegra Edwards: he'd soar and excel in all of his theater

345

12:37 ,885 --> 00:12:39,993

Allegra Edwards: classes and I think there was this thing of

346

12:40 ,033 --> 00:12:42,485

Allegra Edwards: like if she's going to go to college, then

347

12:42 ,525 --> 00:12:44,331

Allegra Edwards: I want her to pursue what she wants to

348

12:44 ,371 --> 00:12:47,267

Allegra Edwards: pursue and um do it wholeheartedly.

349

12:48 ,149 --> 00:12:50,735

Allegra Edwards: So, uh, no, I never explored anything else.

350

12:51 ,036 --> 00:12:51,798

Marc Preston: Now, where did you go to school?

351

12:52 ,405 --> 00:12:54,972

Allegra Edwards: So for undergrad I went to Pepperdine in

352

12:55 ,012 --> 00:12:58,569

Allegra Edwards: Malibu for, um uh, theater and television,

353

12:58 ,649 --> 00:13:00,094

Allegra Edwards: so that was a combined major.

354

13:00 ,806 --> 00:13:04,556

Allegra Edwards: And then I got my MFA in acting at ACT,

355

13:05 ,305 --> 00:13:07,310

Allegra Edwards: which is the American Conservatory Theater

356

13:07 ,391 --> 00:13:08,173

Allegra Edwards: in San Francisco.

357

13:09 ,135 --> 00:13:11,033

Allegra Edwards: Um, and that was a three year program,

358

13:11 ,295 --> 00:13:12,543

Allegra Edwards: graduated in 2013.

359

13:13 ,525 --> 00:13:16,934

Marc Preston: Is there a preference for you for comedy or

360

13:17 ,455 --> 00:13:19,369

Marc Preston: dramatic roles, or is it just you just kind

361

13:19 ,389 --> 00:13:21,186

Marc Preston: of want to take it all in, I mean, whatever

362

13:21 ,468 --> 00:13:22,371

Marc Preston: opportunity comes your way?

363

13:23 ,946 --> 00:13:27,055

Allegra Edwards: I, I, I definitely gravitate more towards

364

13:27 ,095 --> 00:13:27,496

Allegra Edwards: comedy.

365

13:27 ,725 --> 00:13:31,214

Allegra Edwards: That is my comfort zone and in terms of

366

13:31 ,274 --> 00:13:34,572

Allegra Edwards: what I enjoy watching and absorbing as an

367

13:34 ,692 --> 00:13:37,328

Allegra Edwards: audience member, I love shows that have a

368

13:37 ,368 --> 00:13:40,436

Allegra Edwards: balance of both Um and uh.

369

13:41 ,017 --> 00:13:43,688

Allegra Edwards: You know, as an example, uh, some recent

370

13:43 ,768 --> 00:13:47,116

Allegra Edwards: shows that I've sort of just eaten up, or

371

13:47 ,845 --> 00:13:50,633

Allegra Edwards: succession, or white lotus, or our flag

372

13:50 ,674 --> 00:13:54,192

Allegra Edwards: means death, which I think are all writing

373

13:54 ,793 --> 00:13:57,608

Allegra Edwards: this fascinating middle ground of like, no,

374

13:57 ,628 --> 00:14:00,436

Allegra Edwards: we can do hearts and we can do intensity,

375

14:00 ,685 --> 00:14:02,572

Allegra Edwards: and we can be laugh out loud funny, we can

376

14:02 ,592 --> 00:14:03,575

Allegra Edwards: do it all at the same time.

377

14:03 ,765 --> 00:14:05,190

Marc Preston: Well, that's something you're already doing,

378

14:05 ,230 --> 00:14:05,511

Marc Preston: I think.

379

14:05 ,872 --> 00:14:07,608

Marc Preston: I think, uh, and again, it's not just

380

14:07 ,649 --> 00:14:09,744

Marc Preston: because you're here, but I was going to

381

14:09 ,764 --> 00:14:10,186

Marc Preston: okay what.

382

14:10 ,226 --> 00:14:11,590

Marc Preston: There was a scene and let's see how I can

383

14:11 ,610 --> 00:14:13,728

Marc Preston: say, without giving you spoilers you were

384

14:13 ,809 --> 00:14:14,877

Marc Preston: sitting next to a tub.

385

14:15 ,542 --> 00:14:16,587

Marc Preston: I think you know it's seen him talking

386

14:16 ,607 --> 00:14:18,955

Marc Preston: about okay, um, yeah, and it was just you

387

14:19 ,306 --> 00:14:20,329

Marc Preston: and that was just.

388

14:21 ,131 --> 00:14:23,137

Marc Preston: It was mildly heartbreaking a little bit,

389

14:23 ,185 --> 00:14:24,389

Marc Preston: cause I was like, wow, that's okay.

390

14:24 ,590 --> 00:14:26,486

Marc Preston: Shifting from comedy back and forth, that's

391

14:26 ,847 --> 00:14:28,833

Marc Preston: um, and again, that kind of goes to what I

392

14:28 ,874 --> 00:14:29,315

Marc Preston: said before.

393

14:29 ,365 --> 00:14:30,549

Marc Preston: You seem to have a lot of scenes.

394

14:31 ,291 --> 00:14:32,766

Marc Preston: For all intents and purposes, you're solo

395

14:32 ,806 --> 00:14:34,651

Marc Preston: in the scene, and is that?

396

14:34 ,671 --> 00:14:36,817

Marc Preston: Do you find that to be more challenging at

397

14:36 ,925 --> 00:14:38,151

Marc Preston: all, or do you or can?

398

14:38 ,565 --> 00:14:39,488

Marc Preston: Doesn't make a difference if you have

399

14:39 ,508 --> 00:14:40,994

Marc Preston: someone there with you to bounce off of.

400

14:43 ,425 --> 00:14:46,633

Allegra Edwards: I do think that when you're alone, it does

401

14:46 ,714 --> 00:14:50,230

Allegra Edwards: feel a little bit more naked and um you

402

14:50 ,270 --> 00:14:51,073

Allegra Edwards: have to rely.

403

14:51 ,695 --> 00:14:54,071

Allegra Edwards: I've I find so much value in having a scene

404

14:54 ,111 --> 00:14:56,850

Allegra Edwards: partner um, because they're just especially

405

14:56 ,910 --> 00:14:57,411

Allegra Edwards: really great.

406

14:57 ,431 --> 00:15:00,006

Allegra Edwards: Scene partners are there for you to access

407

15:00 ,127 --> 00:15:02,934

Allegra Edwards: and to rely on and to look to and to

408

15:02 ,994 --> 00:15:06,627

Allegra Edwards: investigate and to you know, um relying on

409

15:06 ,667 --> 00:15:10,085

Allegra Edwards: yourself for that imaginative work um can

410

15:10 ,126 --> 00:15:12,953

Allegra Edwards: be challenging and also very, very

411

15:13 ,013 --> 00:15:14,657

Allegra Edwards: vulnerable, because you're not alone.

412

15:15 ,225 --> 00:15:17,311

Allegra Edwards: When you're making TV, you're in a room

413

15:17 ,933 --> 00:15:18,816

Allegra Edwards: full of people.

414

15:19 ,385 --> 00:15:22,558

Allegra Edwards: So, even even if Ingrid is alone, there's

415

15:22 ,919 --> 00:15:24,627

Allegra Edwards: the directors watching me and the sound guy

416

15:24 ,687 --> 00:15:27,080

Allegra Edwards: is listening to me and and hair and makeup

417

15:27 ,121 --> 00:15:28,910

Allegra Edwards: is just a room away, staring at every

418

15:28 ,950 --> 00:15:30,398

Allegra Edwards: little thing on my face, you know.

419

15:30 ,458 --> 00:15:31,825

Allegra Edwards: So I know I'm being watched.

420

15:32 ,147 --> 00:15:33,919

Marc Preston: Getting up on your grill, taking Polaroids

421

15:33 ,960 --> 00:15:35,658

Marc Preston: and things like that, yeah, oh yeah, all of

422

15:35 ,678 --> 00:15:36,044

Marc Preston: it, all of it.

423

15:36 ,325 --> 00:15:37,769

Allegra Edwards: But you got to pretend like all of that

424

15:37 ,809 --> 00:15:40,897

Allegra Edwards: isn't there and that this person is alone,

425

15:41 ,546 --> 00:15:44,415

Allegra Edwards: even if the actor is so not alone.

426

15:44 ,986 --> 00:15:46,350

Marc Preston: Again, like you have a lot of scenes that

427

15:46 ,370 --> 00:15:48,749

Marc Preston: are solo, but I think the I want Daniels,

428

15:48 ,829 --> 00:15:51,904

Marc Preston: the, the AI guy is literally.

429

15:51 ,924 --> 00:15:54,501

Marc Preston: I think in almost every single scene I was

430

15:54 ,521 --> 00:15:55,772

Marc Preston: like that's got, that's got to be one of

431

15:55 ,793 --> 00:15:57,025

Marc Preston: the hardest working guys in Hollywood.

432

15:57 ,249 --> 00:15:58,727

Marc Preston: Whether he's got lines or not, he seems to

433

15:58 ,767 --> 00:16:00,271

Marc Preston: show up in every because he's got to, you

434

16:00 ,311 --> 00:16:01,836

Marc Preston: know um, yeah, yeah.

435

16:02 First on-Camera Experience and Nervousness

16:02 ,166 --> 00:16:02,969

Marc Preston: To kind of go back.

436

16:03 ,351 --> 00:16:05,881

Marc Preston: What was, um, kind of your first you know,

437

16:05 ,921 --> 00:16:08,592

Marc Preston: be it uh, uh, on camera, uh, I'm sorry,

438

16:09 ,034 --> 00:16:11,425

Marc Preston: theatrical, or uh, tv, you know, project.

439

16:11 ,546 --> 00:16:13,277

Marc Preston: What was one of the first things that you

440

16:13 ,297 --> 00:16:14,726

Marc Preston: kind of felt like, okay, I'm here, I'm

441

16:14 ,766 --> 00:16:16,514

Marc Preston: doing this thing, I'm, I've got to.

442

16:16 ,795 --> 00:16:19,185

Marc Preston: You know, I'm in the ecosystem, as it were.

443

16:20 ,388 --> 00:16:26,882

Allegra Edwards: Yeah, I, um, I booked a very small role on

444

16:27 ,183 --> 00:16:29,116

Allegra Edwards: modern family when I guess that would have

445

16:29 ,219 --> 00:16:31,724

Allegra Edwards: been like 2016, something like that.

446

16:32 ,968 --> 00:16:37,322

Allegra Edwards: And, uh, that show had been written in my

447

16:37 ,382 --> 00:16:39,148

Allegra Edwards: journal with little doodles and hearts and

448

16:39 ,169 --> 00:16:43,082

Allegra Edwards: stars around it, um, as as a pinnacle, as a

449

16:43 ,343 --> 00:16:43,905

Allegra Edwards: thing to reach someday.

450

16:45 ,410 --> 00:16:48,522

Allegra Edwards: And I just so happened to um land a small

451

16:48 ,562 --> 00:16:51,051

Allegra Edwards: role very early on in my career and it felt

452

16:51 ,532 --> 00:16:54,783

Allegra Edwards: too big and unwieldy for me to comprehend

453

16:54 ,803 --> 00:16:55,345

Allegra Edwards: getting to be a part of it.

454

16:57 ,447 --> 00:17:00,612

Allegra Edwards: So, so, while it felt like, oh, my goodness,

455

17:00 ,692 --> 00:17:03,420

Allegra Edwards: a dream come true, I also had that equal

456

17:03 ,440 --> 00:17:06,853

Allegra Edwards: and opposite You're not ready for this yet,

457

17:07 ,073 --> 00:17:10,861

Allegra Edwards: paul and it was kind of a gift that the

458

17:10 ,901 --> 00:17:13,155

Allegra Edwards: role was so small, because it meant that I

459

17:13 ,195 --> 00:17:15,002

Allegra Edwards: could get a taste of what it could be like

460

17:15 ,765 --> 00:17:18,113

Allegra Edwards: to maybe one day be a series regular, but

461

17:18 ,213 --> 00:17:22,102

Allegra Edwards: know that I needed a lot of time in between

462

17:22 ,182 --> 00:17:25,290

Allegra Edwards: to prep and feel like, okay, now I'm in a

463

17:25 ,390 --> 00:17:27,177

Allegra Edwards: position where I feel confident enough or

464

17:27 ,237 --> 00:17:29,224

Allegra Edwards: skilled enough or experienced enough to

465

17:29 ,726 --> 00:17:32,262

Allegra Edwards: carry a show as an ensemble member and not

466

17:32 ,348 --> 00:17:34,141

Allegra Edwards: just as a little guest character.

467

17:34 ,227 --> 00:17:35,605

Marc Preston: Yeah, it's kind of like you don't know what

468

17:35 ,625 --> 00:17:37,748

Marc Preston: you don't know kind of a thing, and so much

469

17:37 ,768 --> 00:17:39,230

Marc Preston: of acting is on the job training, no matter

470

17:39 ,310 --> 00:17:41,718

Marc Preston: how much training you've gotten Correct.

471

17:41 ,738 --> 00:17:45,189

Marc Preston: Just you know, I found that the handful of

472

17:45 ,209 --> 00:17:46,956

Marc Preston: times I've done something like I tell my

473

17:47 ,317 --> 00:17:49,023

Marc Preston: friends or students, the biggest

474

17:49 ,445 --> 00:17:51,051

Marc Preston: nerve-wracking space of time for me is when

475

17:51 ,112 --> 00:17:52,799

Marc Preston: somebody on the set says lock it up.

476

17:52 ,859 --> 00:17:54,807

Marc Preston: Between that hammock of time between that

477

17:54 ,827 --> 00:17:56,636

Marc Preston: and when the director says action, I mean

478

17:56 ,676 --> 00:17:58,345

Marc Preston: my nerves are just like I was like

479

17:58 ,486 --> 00:17:59,773

Marc Preston: reminding myself, you know your lines.

480

17:59 ,834 --> 00:18:00,236

Marc Preston: You're fine.

481

18:00 ,276 --> 00:18:01,584

Marc Preston: You know it's because it just gets quiet.

482

18:01 ,624 --> 00:18:02,590

Marc Preston: People are buzzing about touch.

483

18:02 ,710 --> 00:18:04,778

Marc Preston: You know I've never you know that you

484

18:04 ,798 --> 00:18:05,982

Marc Preston: mentioned hearing makeup sound.

485

18:07 ,066 --> 00:18:09,054

Marc Preston: You know you let people do things with you

486

18:09 ,094 --> 00:18:10,943

Marc Preston: and to you and you never would put your

487

18:10 ,963 --> 00:18:12,209

Marc Preston: hand on your shirt, get your microphone

488

18:12 ,229 --> 00:18:12,350

Marc Preston: right.

489

18:12 ,370 --> 00:18:13,916

Marc Preston: I was like I would never let that happen

490

18:13 ,976 --> 00:18:14,337

Marc Preston: normally.

491

18:15 ,100 --> 00:18:17,449

Marc Preston: So I've always found that TV is kind of a

492

18:17 ,469 --> 00:18:17,670

Marc Preston: fun.

493

18:19 ,055 --> 00:18:20,461

Marc Preston: You know you got to knock it out faster.

494

18:20 ,501 --> 00:18:22,208

Marc Preston: Like how long did it take per episode?

495

18:22 ,248 --> 00:18:24,654

Marc Preston: It's a 30 minute episode, but how long, how

496

18:24 ,674 --> 00:18:27,099

Marc Preston: many weeks does it take to shoot one each

497

18:27 ,139 --> 00:18:27,460

Marc Preston: episode?

498

18:27 ,500 --> 00:18:28,482

Marc Preston: Rather during.

499

18:28 ,502 --> 00:18:29,971

Marc Preston: COVID, of course.

500

18:31 ,033 --> 00:18:31,754

Allegra Edwards: Right, we do.

501

18:32 ,135 --> 00:18:34,599

Allegra Edwards: We are on a block filming schedule, so

502

18:35 ,461 --> 00:18:37,811

Allegra Edwards: occasionally we'll have one director take

503

18:38 ,012 --> 00:18:40,219

Allegra Edwards: two episodes on at a time, and so there'll

504

18:40 ,239 --> 00:18:41,041

Allegra Edwards: be some overlap.

505

18:41 ,523 --> 00:18:44,171

Allegra Edwards: I'm pretty sure the expectation is about

506

18:44 ,211 --> 00:18:47,658

Allegra Edwards: two weeks, maybe 10 days per episode, and

507

18:47 ,698 --> 00:18:50,163

Allegra Edwards: then, and like I said, there'd be some

508

18:50 ,970 --> 00:18:51,631

Allegra Edwards: bleed over.

509

18:51 ,872 --> 00:18:55,238

Allegra Edwards: So so yeah, one to two episodes would take

510

18:55 ,258 --> 00:18:59,305

Allegra Edwards: maybe two to three weeks, which is which is

511

19:01 ,030 --> 00:19:02,394

Allegra Edwards: it's fast and slow at the same time.

512

19:03 ,456 --> 00:19:06,122

Allegra Edwards: You know, it's it's pretty, it's pretty

513

19:06 ,142 --> 00:19:06,342

Allegra Edwards: quick.

514

19:06 ,891 --> 00:19:07,776

Marc Preston: Now do you have a preference?

515

19:07 ,937 --> 00:19:09,265

Marc Preston: Do you like the shooting schedule staying

516

19:09 ,285 --> 00:19:12,458

Marc Preston: close to home, making a TV, or are you

517

19:12 ,498 --> 00:19:14,506

Marc Preston: totally done with traveling and you know,

518

19:14 ,666 --> 00:19:16,291

Marc Preston: setting up shop for a couple months, three

519

19:16 ,311 --> 00:19:17,674

Marc Preston: months and some of the location.

520

19:19 ,137 --> 00:19:21,743

Allegra Edwards: Yeah, I love the traveling aspect.

521

19:21 ,803 --> 00:19:22,224

Allegra Edwards: I think it.

522

19:23 ,851 --> 00:19:26,979

Allegra Edwards: I actually think it probably helps me focus

523

19:27 ,019 --> 00:19:28,042

Allegra Edwards: more honestly.

524

19:28 ,443 --> 00:19:31,110

Allegra Edwards: If I were to be living half an hour from

525

19:31 ,270 --> 00:19:33,477

Allegra Edwards: the soundstage and driving myself to work

526

19:33 ,617 --> 00:19:37,529

Allegra Edwards: like a nine to five, monday to Friday, I

527

19:37 ,569 --> 00:19:38,733

Allegra Edwards: might take it for granted more.

528

19:39 ,215 --> 00:19:41,545

Allegra Edwards: But if I'm on a plane going to Albuquerque,

529

19:41 ,585 --> 00:19:43,633

Allegra Edwards: for example, and shooting in the desert and

530

19:43 ,874 --> 00:19:46,000

Allegra Edwards: completely outside of my regular

531

19:46 ,040 --> 00:19:48,729

Allegra Edwards: environment, how can you not let that

532

19:48 ,809 --> 00:19:49,792

Allegra Edwards: inform your character?

649

23:58 ,776 --> 00:24:01,321

Allegra Edwards: meeting Adam and kind of being there, it

650

24:01 ,361 --> 00:24:02,543

24:02 ,563 --> 00:24:04,175

Allegra Edwards: This is, this is playtime.

652

24:04 ,476 --> 00:24:06,323

653

24:06 ,343 --> 00:24:08,190

Allegra Edwards: don't have to be precious about it.

654

24:08 ,310 --> 00:24:10,276

Allegra Edwards: We can, we can be more relaxed.

655

24:10 ,336 --> 00:24:10,797

24:14 ,071 --> 00:24:16,759

Marc Preston: Kind of getting back to upload.

658

24:17 ,120 --> 00:24:18,826

Marc Preston: You're such an important part of the show,

659

24:19 ,408 --> 00:24:21,107

Marc Preston: is it something where you does that create

660

24:21 ,171 --> 00:24:22,395

Marc Preston: any kind of like, not nerves?

661

24:22 ,460 --> 00:24:24,035

Marc Preston: That's not the phrase I'm looking for, but

662

24:24 ,100 --> 00:24:25,917

Marc Preston: I mean it's enhanced responsibility, most

663

24:26 ,024 --> 00:24:26,733

Marc Preston: certainly compared.

664

24:26 ,840 --> 00:24:28,132

Marc Preston: You know you certainly are.

665

24:28 ,239 --> 00:24:30,395

Marc Preston: It's a well deserved gig for you, without a

666

24:30 ,435 --> 00:24:30,656

Marc Preston: doubt.

667

24:31 ,157 --> 00:24:32,501

Marc Preston: Is it kind of nerve wracking a little bit

668

24:32 ,521 --> 00:24:34,712

Marc Preston: because you are now straight up a regular

669

24:34 ,732 --> 00:24:35,834

Marc Preston: showing up in every episode?

670

24:37 ,096 --> 00:24:42,744

Allegra Edwards: Yeah, yes, there is a, it's both.

671

24:43 Responsibility, Confidence, and Inspirations in Acting

24:43 ,345 --> 00:24:46,136

Allegra Edwards: I have more of a sense of responsibility,

672

24:46 ,497 --> 00:24:51,149

Allegra Edwards: for sure, and I do feel pressure to carry

673

24:51 ,209 --> 00:24:55,939

Allegra Edwards: more of a central storyline and not just I

674

24:56 ,500 --> 00:25:00,048

Allegra Edwards: can't hide and and it's me and it's going

675

25:00 ,068 --> 00:25:03,114

Allegra Edwards: to continue to be me, knock on wood unless

676

25:03 ,474 --> 00:25:04,937

Allegra Edwards: something happens.

677

25:04 ,957 --> 00:25:06,941

Allegra Edwards: They replace my face like they do, mildred,

678

25:06 ,961 --> 00:25:11,109

Allegra Edwards: but yeah, so that that comes with some

679

25:11 ,149 --> 00:25:14,055

Allegra Edwards: pressure, but also, simultaneously, it

680

25:14 ,175 --> 00:25:18,351

Allegra Edwards: comes with confidence, because I'm not

681

25:18 ,451 --> 00:25:20,821

Allegra Edwards: picking up with something else has created

682

25:20 ,881 --> 00:25:21,765

Allegra Edwards: and trying to carry it.

683

25:22 ,046 --> 00:25:24,655

Allegra Edwards: I'm continue to carry what I created.

684

25:25 ,237 --> 00:25:27,906

Allegra Edwards: And so there is this nice thing that's

685

25:27 ,946 --> 00:25:31,176

Allegra Edwards: happening right now where I feel like I

686

25:31 ,297 --> 00:25:33,604

Allegra Edwards: know her well enough that we could start to

687

25:33 ,664 --> 00:25:36,764

Allegra Edwards: sort of Jog together, like, like season one

688

25:36 ,980 --> 00:25:40,083

Allegra Edwards: was sort of just getting used to being on

689

25:40 ,298 --> 00:25:43,648

Allegra Edwards: the horse and season two is now Okay, now

690

25:43 ,909 --> 00:25:45,597

Allegra Edwards: I'm really on the trail with the horse and

691

25:45 ,637 --> 00:25:48,028

Allegra Edwards: we're I know how to ride the horse and now,

692

25:48 ,390 --> 00:25:50,199

Allegra Edwards: like I would love to get to a point where

693

25:50 ,219 --> 00:25:51,485

Allegra Edwards: we could really gallop.

694

25:51 ,826 --> 00:25:55,476

Allegra Edwards: You know what I mean, and so so there is an

695

25:55 ,516 --> 00:25:57,522

Allegra Edwards: innate sense of confidence that comes with

696

25:57 ,923 --> 00:25:59,849

Allegra Edwards: that sort of responsibility To which I

697

25:59 ,889 --> 00:26:02,156

Allegra Edwards: didn't expect, I wasn't ever expecting that.

698

26:02 ,517 --> 00:26:03,621

Marc Preston: Yeah, it seems like you have a real muscle

699

26:03 ,641 --> 00:26:04,885

Marc Preston: memory for who that character is.

700

26:05 ,226 --> 00:26:05,527

Marc Preston: You know.

701

26:06 ,150 --> 00:26:09,711

26:21 ,385 --> 00:26:23,493

Marc Preston: I'm really like so I really enjoyed it.

709

26:23 ,685 --> 00:26:25,953

886

33:31 ,527 --> 00:33:33,343

Allegra Edwards: So there's this sort of mutual respect with

887

33:33 ,383 --> 00:33:33,565

Allegra Edwards: everybody.

888

33:34 ,447 --> 00:33:37,636

Allegra Edwards: I think I probably connected the most with

889

33:37 ,756 --> 00:33:39,930

Allegra Edwards: Andy LL, which is funny because we don't

890

33:39 ,990 --> 00:33:44,226

Allegra Edwards: have a ton of scenes together, particularly

891

33:44 ,286 --> 00:33:47,111

Allegra Edwards: in season one, but I think she and I were

892

33:47 ,171 --> 00:33:50,317

Allegra Edwards: mutually in this like whoa, this is the

893

33:50 ,337 --> 00:33:52,100

Allegra Edwards: biggest thing we've ever done, ever.

894

33:53 ,802 --> 00:33:56,091

Allegra Edwards: I Mean, obviously she toured with Prince,

895

33:56 ,351 --> 00:33:57,855

Allegra Edwards: so that's one of the biggest things she's

896

33:57 ,895 --> 00:33:58,497

Allegra Edwards: ever done ever.

897

33:59 ,467 --> 00:34:00,551

898

34:01 ,866 --> 00:34:04,767

Marc Preston: Please tell me what it's like.

902

34:11 ,086 --> 00:34:12,470

Allegra Edwards: It's worth a Google, for sure.

903

34:12 ,570 --> 00:34:14,696

Allegra Edwards: But but yeah, she and I I think both were

904

34:14 ,776 --> 00:34:18,971

Allegra Edwards: like wow, this show is changing something

905

34:19 ,192 --> 00:34:22,118

Allegra Edwards: for our trajectory as performers and also

906

34:22 ,218 --> 00:34:23,381

Allegra Edwards: like, oh.

907

34:24 ,286 --> 00:34:26,712

Allegra Edwards: So I think there was like a mutual, like a

908

34:26 ,793 --> 00:34:29,018

Allegra Edwards: rival moment that we both would feel like

909

34:29 ,038 --> 00:34:30,883

Allegra Edwards: we could confide in each other about.

910

34:30 ,983 --> 00:34:31,966

Allegra Edwards: This is crazy, isn't it?

911

34:32 ,006 --> 00:34:32,989

Allegra Edwards: do get along with all of them.

918

34:40 ,350 --> 00:34:42,175

Marc Preston: Yeah, it's sort of like not going to summer

919

34:42 ,215 --> 00:34:42,496

Marc Preston: camp.

920

34:42 ,637 --> 00:34:42,857

Marc Preston: Yeah, it's not like necessarily going to

922

34:45 ,051 --> 00:34:46,555

Marc Preston: summer camp or something, but it's sort of

923

34:46 ,635 --> 00:34:49,829

Marc Preston: like when you get to have an experience of

924

34:49 ,869 --> 00:34:51,214

Marc Preston: somebody that's, somebody that's kind of be

925

34:51 ,354 --> 00:34:53,309

Marc Preston: this is I think it's one of the more

932

35:02 ,001 --> 00:35:03,442

Marc Preston: interesting shows on on TV.

933

35:03 ,585 --> 00:35:04,968

Marc Preston: It's just, it's an interesting premise.

934

35:05 ,510 --> 00:35:06,211

Marc Preston: It's kind of a reverse.

935

35:06 ,231 --> 00:35:08,838

Marc Preston: Some people say do we live in a, in a and a

936

35:09 ,606 --> 00:35:10,288

Marc Preston: moral questions, even brings up even mildly

943

35:23 ,216 --> 00:35:25,388

Marc Preston: religious question, I mean, all while being

944

35:25 ,428 --> 00:35:26,871

Marc Preston: Let me tell you something that is a

962

36:14 ,992 --> 00:36:16,677

Marc Preston: necessity above all else.

36:37 ,525 --> 00:36:39,733

36:39 ,773 --> 00:36:40,475

Allegra Edwards: for the time ahead.

974

36:41 ,087 --> 00:36:42,916

976

36:44 ,845 --> 00:36:48,073

Allegra Edwards: I mean, that's the dream.

979

36:50 ,145 --> 00:36:51,769

Marc Preston: Again.

987

37:02 ,429 --> 00:37:05,315

37:08 ,772 --> 00:37:09,516

37:20 ,401 --> 00:37:22,409

Marc Preston: insight that I think I'm kind of a weirdo.

997

37:23 ,245 --> 00:37:24,510

Marc Preston: My kids tell me I am so I must be.

998

37:26 ,047 --> 00:37:28,514

Allegra Edwards: Smart food white cheddar popcorn.

Speaker:1005

37:42 ,365 --> 00:37:44,811

Speaker:1007

37:47 ,165 --> 00:37:49,934

Marc Preston: I was 19 or 20.

Marc Preston: At the end of the summer promotional season

Speaker:1012

37:57 ,594 --> 00:37:59,621

Speaker:1013

37:59 ,661 --> 00:38:00,745

Marc Preston: those things out at live broadcast.

Speaker:1014

38:01 ,387 --> 00:38:02,571

Marc Preston: I had to take a high-end for a year or two,

Speaker:1022

38:12 ,532 --> 00:38:14,369

Marc Preston: but I agree it is tasty, without a doubt.

Speaker:1023

38:17 ,009 --> 00:38:17,992

Marc Preston: Now, if you're going to sit down, you're

Speaker:1024

38:18 ,012 --> 00:38:18,433

Allegra Edwards: Ooh, ooh.

Speaker:1036

38:40 ,425 --> 00:38:42,669

Allegra Edwards: Okay, this is weird.

Speaker:1037

38:43 ,105 --> 00:38:44,829

Allegra Edwards: I don't know if you'll have heard of this

Speaker:1038

38:44 ,889 --> 00:38:51,229

Allegra Edwards: person, but I would love to sit down with

Speaker:1039

38:51 ,329 --> 00:38:55,217

Allegra Edwards: Jad Abumrad, who is one of the co-hosts and

Speaker:1040

38:55 ,237 --> 00:38:56,479

Allegra Edwards: creator of Radio Lab.

Speaker:1041

38:56 ,845 --> 00:38:57,989

Allegra Edwards: It's a podcast that I love.

Speaker:1042

38:59 ,967 --> 00:39:03,175

Allegra Edwards: I have just consumed so much Radio Lab over

Speaker:1043

39:03 ,195 --> 00:39:03,636

Allegra Edwards: the years.

Speaker:1044

39:04 ,606 --> 00:39:08,217

Allegra Edwards: I am captivated by the way that he somehow

Speaker:1045

39:08 ,297 --> 00:39:10,584

Allegra Edwards: makes science, which is not normally my

Speaker:1046

39:10 ,624 --> 00:39:14,715

Allegra Edwards: favorite subject, so compelling and human.

Speaker:1047

39:15 ,545 --> 00:39:17,957

Allegra Edwards: I feel like he must have hundreds of

Speaker:1048

39:17 ,997 --> 00:39:19,384

Allegra Edwards: stories, so that's the first person I've

Speaker:1049

39:19 ,404 --> 00:39:19,625

Allegra Edwards: ever heard.

Speaker:1050

39:19 ,645 --> 00:39:21,009

Marc Preston: So he's kind of in the realm of like Neil

Speaker:1051

39:21 ,029 --> 00:39:22,474

Marc Preston: deGrasse Tyson sort of in a way.

Speaker:1052

39:23 ,567 --> 00:39:23,908

Allegra Edwards: Kind of.

Speaker:1053

39:23 ,949 --> 00:39:25,968

Allegra Edwards: But he's a storyteller and he is an audio

Speaker:1054

39:26 ,028 --> 00:39:29,389

Allegra Edwards: engineer and a sound designer, so there's

Speaker:1055

39:29 ,429 --> 00:39:31,917

Allegra Edwards: an element to him that is about good

Speaker:1056

39:31 ,978 --> 00:39:34,507

Allegra Edwards: storytelling first and then science second.

Speaker:1057

39:36 ,486 --> 00:39:39,213

Allegra Edwards: And I, yeah, I have just so about that.

Speaker:1058

39:41 ,025 --> 00:39:44,611

Allegra Edwards: Then who would I pick?

Speaker:1059

39:49 ,605 --> 00:39:51,674

Allegra Edwards: I mean I said her before, I'd pick Olivia

Speaker:1060

39:51 ,714 --> 00:39:54,024

Allegra Edwards: Coleman, just to pick her brain and see

Speaker:1061

39:54 ,045 --> 00:39:56,031

Allegra Edwards: what it's like to be in her shoes right now

Speaker:1062

39:56 ,111 --> 00:39:58,708

Allegra Edwards: and how she got to where she is, and I also

Speaker:1063

39:58 ,728 --> 00:40:01,347

Allegra Edwards: think she's delightfully funny and I could

Speaker:1064

40:01 ,367 --> 00:40:02,170

Allegra Edwards: just watch her.

Speaker:1065

40:02 ,705 --> 00:40:06,035

Allegra Edwards: I think her behavior is just fun to watch.

Speaker:1066

40:06 ,545 --> 00:40:07,890

Marc Preston: I think people especially my favorite-

Speaker:1067

40:07 ,950 --> 00:40:09,154

Marc Preston: actors and honestly I was going to give you

Speaker:1068

40:09 ,194 --> 00:40:09,987

Marc Preston: that compliment.

Speaker:1069

40:10 ,127 --> 00:40:11,591

Marc Preston: You strike me as being one of these people.

Speaker:1070

40:11 ,631 --> 00:40:12,995

Marc Preston: Without dialogue, you're just interesting

Speaker:1071

40:13 ,015 --> 00:40:13,585

Marc Preston: to watch, like.

Speaker:1072

40:13 ,666 --> 00:40:15,873

40:15 ,893 --> 00:40:16,275

Marc Preston: you just watch.

Speaker:1074

40:16 ,385 --> 00:40:17,229

Marc Preston: He's like, he's just interesting.

40:17 ,485 --> 00:40:18,870

Marc Preston: You can almost read his mind, you know.

Speaker:1076

40:19 ,625 --> 00:40:22,672

Marc Preston: And even with that dialogue, I always find

Speaker:1077

40:22 ,712 --> 00:40:24,096

Marc Preston: that those are the most captivating people

Speaker:1078

40:24 ,136 --> 00:40:24,336

Marc Preston: for me.

Speaker:1079

40:25 ,085 --> 00:40:26,249

Marc Preston: Even without the dialogue, they still grab

Speaker:1080

40:26 ,269 --> 00:40:26,771

Marc Preston: my attention.

Speaker:1081

40:26 ,931 --> 00:40:27,112

43:14 ,819 --> 00:43:16,225

43:34 ,530 --> 00:43:35,894

Marc Preston: From time you get up to time you kind of

Speaker:1165

43:35 ,914 --> 00:43:37,006

Marc Preston: crash what.

Speaker:1166

43:37 ,026 --> 00:43:38,369

Marc Preston: What's the arc of that day for you?

Speaker:1167

43:42 ,185 --> 00:43:45,232

Allegra Edwards: A long walk in a very flat neighborhood.

Speaker:1168

43:46 ,194 --> 00:43:49,321

Allegra Edwards: Um with or maybe like a?

Speaker:1169

43:49 ,642 --> 00:43:51,486

Allegra Edwards: Um a place like the Huntington.

Speaker:1170

43:52 ,107 --> 00:43:55,113

Allegra Edwards: Um a long walk there in through the gardens

Speaker:1171

43:55 ,554 --> 00:43:57,858

Allegra Edwards: that smells great, a gentle breeze.

Speaker:1172

43:58 ,927 --> 00:44:00,430

Allegra Edwards: Um an oat milk cappuccino.

Speaker:1173

44:01 ,332 --> 00:44:03,597

Allegra Edwards: Maybe a lunch with one of my very close

Speaker:1174

44:03 ,617 --> 00:44:05,809

Allegra Edwards: girlfriends or a phone call with my sister.

Speaker:1175

44:06 ,852 --> 00:44:08,296

Allegra Edwards: Dinner with my whole family.

Speaker:1176

44:09 ,448 --> 00:44:10,090

Allegra Edwards: Um now?

Speaker:1177

44:10 ,110 --> 00:44:11,194

Marc Preston: where's your family living now?

Speaker:1178

44:11 ,585 --> 00:44:13,170

Marc Preston: Were they, uh, are they all kind of in the

Speaker:1179

44:13 ,190 --> 00:44:13,671

Marc Preston: same spot?

Speaker:1180

44:14 ,072 --> 00:44:15,095

Allegra Edwards: They're a little spread out.

Speaker:1181

44:15 ,225 --> 00:44:17,009

Allegra Edwards: Um, my, my brother and his wife are in

Speaker:1182

44:17 ,049 --> 00:44:20,517

Allegra Edwards: Pittsburgh, and then, um, I, my sister's

Speaker:1183

44:20 ,577 --> 00:44:22,605

Allegra Edwards: actually in school at ACT right now, so

Speaker:1184

44:22 ,625 --> 00:44:24,109

Allegra Edwards: she's getting her MFA from the same

Speaker:1185

44:24 ,370 --> 00:44:26,475

Allegra Edwards: conservatory where I attended in acting.

Speaker:1186

44:27 ,446 --> 00:44:29,952

Allegra Edwards: Um, and then my parents are in Northern

Speaker:1187

44:29 ,972 --> 00:44:32,545

Allegra Edwards: California, outside of Sacramento, so

Speaker:1188

44:33 ,228 --> 00:44:36,327

Allegra Edwards: mostly California, yeah, um, but it

Speaker:1189

44:36 ,767 --> 00:44:40,895

Allegra Edwards: basically some nature, some, some great

Speaker:1190

44:40 ,935 --> 00:44:42,898

Allegra Edwards: conversation and a lot of time with family.

Speaker:1191

44:43 ,565 --> 00:44:44,509

Allegra Edwards: It's very easy to please.

Speaker:1192

44:45 ,485 --> 00:44:47,126

Marc Preston: Yeah, I'm very much the same way, it's just

Speaker:1193

44:47 ,186 --> 00:44:49,128

Marc Preston: I'm a man of simple needs Is the late great

Speaker:1194

44:49 ,449 --> 00:44:50,873

Marc Preston: uh Anthony Bourdain used to say.

Speaker:1195

44:51 ,405 --> 00:44:52,791

Marc Preston: Now, last couple of questions.

Speaker:1196

44:53 ,092 --> 00:44:55,403

Marc Preston: Let's pretend like you had the option of

Speaker:1197

44:55 ,443 --> 00:44:57,129

Marc Preston: doing anything else in the world and taking

Speaker:1198

44:57 ,169 --> 00:44:57,851

Marc Preston: a break from acting.

Speaker:1199

44:57 ,911 --> 00:44:58,634

Marc Preston: What would that be?

Speaker:1200

44:59 ,025 --> 00:45:00,110

Marc Preston: Or what would you be doing if you were not,

Speaker:1201

45:00 ,593 --> 00:45:01,136

Marc Preston: uh, an actor?

Speaker:1202

45:02 ,362 --> 00:45:02,402

Announcer: Um.

Speaker:1203

45:03 ,206 --> 00:45:03,770

Allegra Edwards: G stopped, sorry.

Speaker:1204

45:06 ,237 --> 00:45:10,302

Allegra Edwards: I think it would probably be either

Speaker:1205

45:10 ,362 --> 00:45:16,249

Allegra Edwards: journalism or it would still incorporate

Speaker:1206

45:16 ,309 --> 00:45:23,382

Allegra Edwards: story for sure, maybe editing magazine or

Speaker:1207

45:24 ,564 --> 00:45:26,066

Allegra Edwards: honestly podcasting.

Speaker:1208

45:29 ,135 --> 00:45:31,500

Allegra Edwards: But yeah, it would still have to involve

Speaker:1209

45:31 ,560 --> 00:45:33,925

Allegra Edwards: some form of finding good stories and

Speaker:1210

45:33 ,966 --> 00:45:36,458

Allegra Edwards: telling them, which maybe is not too

Speaker:1211

45:36 ,558 --> 00:45:40,286

Allegra Edwards: different from what I'm wanting to do right

Speaker:1212

45:40 ,326 --> 00:45:42,440

Allegra Edwards: now, but it's a close cousin.

Speaker:1213

45:43 ,595 --> 00:45:44,519

Marc Preston: Now the last question.

Speaker:1214

45:44 ,820 --> 00:45:47,550

Marc Preston: If you could jump in your DeLorean and go

Speaker:1215

45:47 ,691 --> 00:45:50,020

Marc Preston: back in time when you're 16 years old, what

Speaker:1216

45:50 ,120 --> 00:45:52,669

Marc Preston: advice are you going to give yourself from

Speaker:1217

45:52 ,689 --> 00:45:55,137

Marc Preston: when you're 16 to your 16-year-old self?

Speaker:1218

45:55 ,157 --> 00:45:56,982

Marc Preston: That would alter the course in an even

Speaker:1219

45:57 ,023 --> 00:45:59,098

Marc Preston: better way for you, or maybe give you more

Speaker:1220

45:59 ,158 --> 00:46:00,283

Marc Preston: peace or harmony or whatever.

Speaker:1221

46:00 ,535 --> 00:46:09,987

Allegra Edwards: Yeah, I think what I would tell her is what

Speaker:1222

46:10 ,087 --> 00:46:14,734

Allegra Edwards: you have in your head of what you want is

Speaker:1223

46:14 ,815 --> 00:46:18,975

Allegra Edwards: not nearly as great as what's coming, and

Speaker:1224

46:19 ,176 --> 00:46:22,646

Allegra Edwards: if you can continue to believe that that

Speaker:1225

46:24 ,130 --> 00:46:25,855

Allegra Edwards: it's going to be even better than you can

Speaker:1226

46:25 ,975 --> 00:46:30,262

Allegra Edwards: imagine, you don't have to strive so hard.

Speaker:1227

46:30 ,515 --> 00:46:33,240

Allegra Edwards: You can expect to be surprised, and

Speaker:1228

46:34 ,282 --> 00:46:38,569

Allegra Edwards: maintaining hopeful optimism will mean that

Speaker:1229

46:38 ,589 --> 00:46:39,898

Allegra Edwards: you're going to be ready for anything,

Speaker:1230

46:40 ,198 --> 00:46:41,983

Allegra Edwards: including the really really really good

Speaker:1231

46:42 ,043 --> 00:46:43,106

Allegra Edwards: stuff that's coming your way.

Speaker:1232

46:43 ,995 --> 00:46:45,761

Marc Preston: They dreaming is kind of its own superpower

Speaker:1233

46:45 ,781 --> 00:46:46,202

Marc Preston: in that way.

Speaker:1234

46:47 ,515 --> 00:46:48,880

Marc Preston: Dream it comes, conceive of it, yeah.

Speaker:1235

46:50 ,896 --> 00:46:52,482

Allegra Edwards: But also don't let that.

Speaker:1236

46:53 ,816 --> 00:46:55,662

Allegra Edwards: I guess what I mean by that is sometimes

Speaker:1237

46:55 ,682 --> 00:46:58,874

Allegra Edwards: that can become a trap, where you push for

Speaker:1238

46:58 ,914 --> 00:47:02,025

Allegra Edwards: something or you get so dead set on a

Speaker:1239

47:02 ,085 --> 00:47:03,831

Allegra Edwards: certain dream and what you imagine that

Speaker:1240

47:03 ,871 --> 00:47:05,718

Allegra Edwards: you're disappointed because it doesn't go

Speaker:1241

47:05 ,738 --> 00:47:08,671

Allegra Edwards: exactly like how you planned but actually

Speaker:1242

47:08 ,771 --> 00:47:10,819

Allegra Edwards: it could be better than what you pictured.

Speaker:1243

47:12 ,755 --> 00:47:14,561

Allegra Edwards: So I guess it's kind of an open palm

Speaker:1244

47:14 ,721 --> 00:47:17,059

Allegra Edwards: attitude Allow it to come in and allow it

Speaker:1245

47:17 ,079 --> 00:47:17,480

Allegra Edwards: to go out.

Speaker:1246

47:18 ,183 --> 00:47:18,403

Marc Preston: has changed.

Speaker:1250

47:23 ,495 --> 00:47:24,558

Marc Preston: You know, if you're cool about it at a

Speaker:1251

47:24 ,598 --> 00:47:26,442

Marc Preston: young age, it's so much harder to be like

Speaker:1252

47:26 ,482 --> 00:47:29,578

Marc Preston: that, you know, yeah, and I wish I was more

Speaker:1253
