On this episode of The Story & Craft Podcast, we sit down with actor, Brec Bassinger. She plays Courtney Whitmore (Stargirl) on the CW Network show, Stargirl. We chatted about career, what it was like growing up in Texas as a young actor, her early years on Nickelodeon and what it’s like to be one of the newest members of the DC Universe. Brec is staying busy and will soon be seen co-starring in the upcoming films The Man in The White Van, along with Sean Astin, as well as Saturday at The Starlight with Abigail Breslin and Denise Richards. As a fellow native Texan, we naturally had to discuss some of our favorite places to eat when we’re back home in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Brec is a rising star with a great energy and a cool story to share. Stop by as we talk story with a real Stargirl…Brec Bassinger!

59
00:01:58,521 --> 00:02:01,869
Brec Bassinger: I went to school in Saginaw up until my
60
00:02:01,989 --> 00:02:04,835
Brec Bassinger: freshman year and even eighth grade I kind
61
00:02:04,855 --> 00:02:06,960
Brec Bassinger: of was in and out of public school.
62
00:02:07,663 --> 00:02:10,514
Brec Bassinger: And then freshman year I booked Bell and
63
00:02:10,534 --> 00:02:11,659
Brec Bassinger: the Bulldogs, which was the Nickelodeon
64
00:02:11,679 --> 00:02:14,347
Brec Bassinger: show I was on, and then after that it was
65
00:02:14,387 --> 00:02:15,711
Brec Bassinger: home schooling for the rest of it.
66
00:02:16,361 --> 00:02:16,822
Marc Preston: So what's that?
67
00:02:17,123 --> 00:02:18,648
Marc Preston: I've always been curious what that's like.
68
00:02:18,708 --> 00:02:20,453
Marc Preston: Some people love that because it kind of
69
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:22,699
Marc Preston: gives them the freedom to kind of do
70
00:02:22,739 --> 00:02:24,406
Marc Preston: whatever, and then others are like man, I
71
00:02:24,426 --> 00:02:25,992
Marc Preston: really wanted that high school experience.
72
00:02:26,112 --> 00:02:27,940
Marc Preston: What kind of where did you fall in on that?
73
00:02:28,281 --> 00:02:30,086
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, I mean, I've always been one who
74
00:02:30,166 --> 00:02:31,670
Brec Bassinger: liked school, not just from like the
75
00:02:31,711 --> 00:02:34,037
Brec Bassinger: education perspective, but also the social
76
00:02:34,137 --> 00:02:35,000
Brec Bassinger: aspect of school too.
77
00:02:36,242 --> 00:02:38,185
Brec Bassinger: So I definitely I feel like there's pros
78
00:02:38,225 --> 00:02:38,626
Brec Bassinger: and cons.
79
00:02:38,666 --> 00:02:40,869
Brec Bassinger: You do, you don't get that homecoming
80
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:42,932
Brec Bassinger: football game but, that being said, I was
81
00:02:42,992 --> 00:02:44,435
Brec Bassinger: able to graduate high school two years
82
00:02:44,495 --> 00:02:46,663
Brec Bassinger: early Because I just didn't take summer
83
00:02:46,703 --> 00:02:48,467
Brec Bassinger: breaks and did it at my own pace.
84
00:02:48,928 --> 00:02:51,854
Brec Bassinger: So I definitely feel like pros and cons.
85
00:02:52,522 --> 00:02:54,408
Marc Preston: You've been in LA since you were, I guess,
86
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:56,756
Marc Preston: with like 13, 14?
87
00:02:56,796 --> 00:02:58,000
Marc Preston: I think I've ever read that somewhere.
88
00:02:58,324 --> 00:02:59,134
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, I went to LA.
89
00:02:59,476 --> 00:03:01,001
Brec Bassinger: I went to LA for the very first time when I
90
00:03:01,021 --> 00:03:04,041
Brec Bassinger: was 13, booked my first job and then
91
00:03:04,923 --> 00:03:07,137
Brec Bassinger: officially moved out there, got a place out
92
00:03:07,177 --> 00:03:09,675
Brec Bassinger: there at 15 when the Nickelodeon show got
93
00:03:09,715 --> 00:03:12,002
Brec Bassinger: picked up and I needed to live out there.
94
00:03:12,323 --> 00:03:13,126
Marc Preston: Now, did you live in that?
95
00:03:13,215 --> 00:03:15,423
Marc Preston: I know there is an apartment complex out
96
00:03:15,443 --> 00:03:17,382
Marc Preston: there that every young actor seems to live
97
00:03:17,462 --> 00:03:17,503
Marc Preston: in.
98
00:03:17,595 --> 00:03:19,221
Marc Preston: It's like this whole ecosystem.
99
00:03:20,135 --> 00:03:20,918
Marc Preston: What's it called again?
100
00:03:21,755 --> 00:03:22,499
Brec Bassinger: The Oakwood.
101
00:03:22,916 --> 00:03:23,812
Marc Preston: OK, yeah, yeah, yeah.
102
00:03:24,055 --> 00:03:25,681
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, funny enough, it's now been bought
103
00:03:25,741 --> 00:03:28,081
Brec Bassinger: out by Ava apartment, so it's no longer
104
00:03:28,221 --> 00:03:30,121
Brec Bassinger: Oakwood, but people still call it Oakwood
105
00:03:30,141 --> 00:03:30,795
Brec Bassinger: because it does it.
106
00:03:30,815 --> 00:03:32,522
Brec Bassinger: Just that name will forever be with it.
107
00:03:33,496 --> 00:03:35,622
Brec Bassinger: I never lived there but I had many of
108
00:03:35,742 --> 00:03:37,697
Brec Bassinger: friends who lived there and I would go over
109
00:03:37,757 --> 00:03:40,906
Brec Bassinger: there for the game nights at the clubhouse
110
00:03:41,115 --> 00:03:44,563
Brec Bassinger: and karaoke and it was quite the social
111
00:03:44,623 --> 00:03:46,146
Brec Bassinger: scene at the Oakwood.
112
00:03:46,975 --> 00:03:48,361
Marc Preston: See, if you're young, it seems like it's
113
00:03:48,715 --> 00:03:51,404
Marc Preston: good to be able to be a kid at least you
114
00:03:51,444 --> 00:03:53,722
Marc Preston: know, and that when you go home you know.
115
00:03:54,315 --> 00:03:56,442
Marc Preston: But it's got to be a weird thing with
116
00:03:56,462 --> 00:03:58,278
Marc Preston: everybody around you who's doing TV and
117
00:03:58,298 --> 00:03:58,579
Marc Preston: stuff.
118
00:03:59,195 --> 00:04:03,916
Marc Preston: Now I know you in doing Star Girl you got
119
00:04:04,598 --> 00:04:06,484
Marc Preston: what's it like to have Luke Wilson as a
120
00:04:06,504 --> 00:04:06,965
Marc Preston: stepdad.
121
00:04:07,195 --> 00:04:09,201
Marc Preston: I mean, you know, fellow Texan, you know.
122
00:04:09,242 --> 00:04:10,084
Marc Preston: So y'all kind of.
123
00:04:10,515 --> 00:04:14,886
Marc Preston: So did you when you knew that he was going
124
00:04:14,906 --> 00:04:17,743
Marc Preston: to be cast and doing that, did you like go
125
00:04:17,783 --> 00:04:19,479
Marc Preston: through like some of his old movies to kind
126
00:04:19,499 --> 00:04:21,277
Marc Preston: of catch up on what Luke was all about and
127
00:04:21,318 --> 00:04:22,342
Marc Preston: kind of his background?
128
00:04:22,775 --> 00:04:23,277
Brec Bassinger: Yeah.
129
00:04:23,779 --> 00:04:26,137
Brec Bassinger: So from the very beginning, like the first
130
00:04:26,217 --> 00:04:27,923
Brec Bassinger: meeting I had with our showrunner, jeff
131
00:04:27,963 --> 00:04:31,942
Brec Bassinger: Johns, he mentioned that his dream Pat
132
00:04:31,982 --> 00:04:35,258
Brec Bassinger: Dugan would be Luke Wilson and I
133
00:04:35,299 --> 00:04:37,004
Brec Bassinger: immediately went home and looked up who he
134
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:38,379
Brec Bassinger: was, saw that he was from Texas.
135
00:04:39,235 --> 00:04:41,602
Brec Bassinger: But as soon as I saw his face I remembered
136
00:04:41,642 --> 00:04:44,742
Brec Bassinger: him from stuff, specifically Legally Blonde.
137
00:04:44,795 --> 00:04:47,164
Brec Bassinger: That was like what I most knew him from.
138
00:04:47,315 --> 00:04:49,783
Brec Bassinger: I grew up watching that movie, absolutely
139
00:04:50,144 --> 00:04:51,337
Brec Bassinger: loved that movie to this day.
140
00:04:53,215 --> 00:04:53,958
Brec Bassinger: So we finally got.
141
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:56,185
Brec Bassinger: We actually met for the first time.
142
00:04:56,575 --> 00:05:00,216
Brec Bassinger: Funny enough, it was on Jeff's birthday and
143
00:05:00,376 --> 00:05:04,986
Brec Bassinger: we went to the facility that built Stripe
144
00:05:05,026 --> 00:05:05,587
Brec Bassinger: the Robot.
145
00:05:05,647 --> 00:05:07,760
Brec Bassinger: In our show we have a practical 16 foot
146
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:10,701
Brec Bassinger: robot and we went to see the robot for the
147
00:05:10,741 --> 00:05:12,718
Brec Bassinger: first time in LA and Luke and I got to meet
148
00:05:12,758 --> 00:05:16,078
Brec Bassinger: and I was so intimidated we're looking back
149
00:05:16,138 --> 00:05:18,535
Brec Bassinger: at so funny because Luke is just like the
150
00:05:18,596 --> 00:05:22,306
Brec Bassinger: sweetest, most humble, like and in the best
151
00:05:22,386 --> 00:05:25,524
Brec Bassinger: way like average Jack guy ever.
152
00:05:26,335 --> 00:05:29,044
Brec Bassinger: But because of his resume and the people he
153
00:05:29,064 --> 00:05:31,642
Brec Bassinger: had worked with, I was nervous to meet him.
154
00:05:31,735 --> 00:05:34,543
Brec Bassinger: And then, on set showing up, I was even
155
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:36,641
Brec Bassinger: more intimidated to see how he had worked
156
00:05:36,735 --> 00:05:38,422
Brec Bassinger: Cause you know he had been on huge sets
157
00:05:38,535 --> 00:05:41,156
Brec Bassinger: like Wes Anderson films and iconic, iconic
158
00:05:41,177 --> 00:05:46,339
Brec Bassinger: movies, next to Reese Witherspoon, but he
159
00:05:46,941 --> 00:05:49,476
Brec Bassinger: it's been so cool to see not only him, but
160
00:05:49,677 --> 00:05:51,697
Brec Bassinger: Amy Smart, who plays my mom, who also has a
161
00:05:51,757 --> 00:05:54,959
Brec Bassinger: very impressive resume at how they have
162
00:05:55,159 --> 00:06:00,223
Brec Bassinger: balanced their stardom with their normal
163
00:06:00,284 --> 00:06:00,926
Brec Bassinger: lives as well.
164
00:06:01,115 --> 00:06:02,921
Brec Bassinger: And they it's truly showed me that I can.
165
00:06:03,855 --> 00:06:06,143
Brec Bassinger: You can be a successful actor and still be
166
00:06:06,203 --> 00:06:07,499
Brec Bassinger: humble and a great person.
167
00:06:09,215 --> 00:06:10,942
Brec Bassinger: So, as intimidating as it was at the
168
00:06:10,962 --> 00:06:12,760
Brec Bassinger: beginning, they've taught me so much and
169
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,359
Brec Bassinger: I'm so blessed to get to work with them.
170
00:06:14,535 --> 00:06:16,001
Marc Preston: Yeah, I mean Amy Smart kind of had the.
171
00:06:16,315 --> 00:06:17,780
Marc Preston: She's kind of had that arc where she kind
172
00:06:17,821 --> 00:06:19,820
Marc Preston: of started where you are right now.
173
00:06:20,095 --> 00:06:21,861
Marc Preston: She was doing the teen and you know college
174
00:06:22,021 --> 00:06:25,201
Marc Preston: age, you know stuff and it's.
175
00:06:25,421 --> 00:06:26,816
Marc Preston: My kids and I were catching up on some of
176
00:06:26,836 --> 00:06:29,516
Marc Preston: the episodes and it's such a fun show and
177
00:06:29,576 --> 00:06:31,703
Marc Preston: my son's very much into the whole Marvel
178
00:06:31,764 --> 00:06:34,002
Marc Preston: thing, so but you're on the DC side of
179
00:06:34,082 --> 00:06:34,343
Marc Preston: things.
180
00:06:34,435 --> 00:06:36,563
Marc Preston: So, kind of going back in your origin story,
181
00:06:36,816 --> 00:06:38,421
Marc Preston: I was kind of curious now, when you were
182
00:06:38,441 --> 00:06:40,119
Marc Preston: growing up, when you were in school, when
183
00:06:40,139 --> 00:06:41,437
Marc Preston: you were going to school, what were you
184
00:06:41,478 --> 00:06:41,900
Marc Preston: involved in?
185
00:06:41,975 --> 00:06:43,620
Marc Preston: Were you studious?
186
00:06:43,901 --> 00:06:45,597
Marc Preston: Were you doing that thing, or were you kind
187
00:06:45,637 --> 00:06:48,024
Marc Preston: of also into your extracurriculars and
188
00:06:48,064 --> 00:06:48,385
Marc Preston: whatnot?
189
00:06:50,098 --> 00:06:50,279
Brec Bassinger: Both.
190
00:06:51,322 --> 00:06:53,006
Brec Bassinger: I was too busy then.
191
00:06:53,175 --> 00:06:55,743
Brec Bassinger: I always, even to this day, spread myself
192
00:06:55,803 --> 00:06:57,801
Brec Bassinger: too thin among my many of hobbies.
193
00:06:57,895 --> 00:07:00,023
Brec Bassinger: I'm a woman with many, many hobbies, but I
194
00:07:00,063 --> 00:07:00,183
Brec Bassinger: did.
195
00:07:00,255 --> 00:07:03,164
Brec Bassinger: I always loved the studious side of things.
196
00:07:03,855 --> 00:07:06,463
Brec Bassinger: I was a math elite and went to districts
197
00:07:06,503 --> 00:07:08,379
Brec Bassinger: and regionals and won a gold medal doing
198
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,583
Brec Bassinger: the math elite stuff.
199
00:07:09,895 --> 00:07:13,225
Brec Bassinger: But then also I did five events in track
200
00:07:13,265 --> 00:07:15,061
Brec Bassinger: and field and was a competitive cheerleader
201
00:07:15,135 --> 00:07:16,359
Brec Bassinger: and then a school cheerleader.
202
00:07:17,243 --> 00:07:19,141
Marc Preston: And Isn't competitive cheerleading really
203
00:07:19,181 --> 00:07:20,380
Marc Preston: big in the Dallas for Orth area.
204
00:07:20,876 --> 00:07:22,422
Marc Preston: I just seem to remember a lot of people
205
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:22,683
Marc Preston: doing that.
206
00:07:23,055 --> 00:07:24,780
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, it's huge.
207
00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:27,187
Brec Bassinger: And it's so funny that back in the day
208
00:07:27,255 --> 00:07:28,721
Brec Bassinger: people didn't really think of cheerleading
209
00:07:28,761 --> 00:07:31,061
Brec Bassinger: as a sport, because I was literally like 10
210
00:07:31,121 --> 00:07:32,656
Brec Bassinger: years old, walking around with like an
211
00:07:32,777 --> 00:07:35,177
Brec Bassinger: eight pack because of how good of shape I
212
00:07:35,217 --> 00:07:38,095
Brec Bassinger: was in, because of my competitive cheer, I
213
00:07:38,135 --> 00:07:39,762
Brec Bassinger: could do like 50 pushups in a row.
214
00:07:39,875 --> 00:07:41,902
Brec Bassinger: I look back and I'm like, wow, I was such
215
00:07:41,943 --> 00:07:43,661
Brec Bassinger: an athlete I could not do that anymore.
216
00:07:45,358 --> 00:07:47,664
Brec Bassinger: But I definitely stayed busy between sports
217
00:07:48,346 --> 00:07:49,629
Brec Bassinger: and school.
218
00:07:50,195 --> 00:07:52,343
Brec Bassinger: And then actually there was a time where I
219
00:07:52,383 --> 00:07:54,442
Brec Bassinger: started acting class because when I was 10,
220
00:07:54,575 --> 00:07:55,678
Brec Bassinger: my mom finally let me do.
221
00:07:55,698 --> 00:07:58,718
Brec Bassinger: I had been annoying her about wanting to do
222
00:07:58,738 --> 00:07:59,581
Brec Bassinger: it for the longest time.
223
00:07:59,875 --> 00:08:01,517
Brec Bassinger: When I turned 10, she's like, okay, we'll
224
00:08:01,537 --> 00:08:02,782
Brec Bassinger: put you into some acting lessons.
225
00:08:03,396 --> 00:08:04,842
Brec Bassinger: And it was at that time I did.
226
00:08:04,935 --> 00:08:07,755
Brec Bassinger: I had to start picking and choosing and I
227
00:08:07,796 --> 00:08:10,244
Brec Bassinger: guess it was my eighth grade year.
228
00:08:10,755 --> 00:08:13,362
Brec Bassinger: I had to start giving stuff up to really
229
00:08:13,423 --> 00:08:14,385
Brec Bassinger: focus on acting.
230
00:08:14,855 --> 00:08:16,522
Marc Preston: What made you wanna look at acting as a
231
00:08:16,602 --> 00:08:16,843
Marc Preston: thing?
232
00:08:16,975 --> 00:08:18,802
Marc Preston: Was it just that you love watching the
233
00:08:18,862 --> 00:08:20,285
Marc Preston: movies and you're like I wanna do that?
234
00:08:20,395 --> 00:08:23,296
Marc Preston: Or you just was theater just you know the
235
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:24,561
Marc Preston: kids that you liked hanging out with.
236
00:08:24,655 --> 00:08:25,398
Marc Preston: What got you into that?
237
00:08:26,637 --> 00:08:30,306
Brec Bassinger: This sounds very like oh, do, do, do, do,
238
00:08:30,446 --> 00:08:33,901
Brec Bassinger: clouds, dreams, but I really feel like it
239
00:08:33,941 --> 00:08:34,664
Brec Bassinger: was my destiny.
240
00:08:34,835 --> 00:08:37,403
Brec Bassinger: I don't think there was anything in
241
00:08:37,503 --> 00:08:39,961
Brec Bassinger: particular that made me like I wanna be
242
00:08:40,001 --> 00:08:42,179
Brec Bassinger: like this actress or I wanna be on a show
243
00:08:42,239 --> 00:08:42,741
Brec Bassinger: like this.
244
00:08:43,395 --> 00:08:44,961
Brec Bassinger: I, just from the time I was probably five
245
00:08:45,021 --> 00:08:46,638
Brec Bassinger: or six years old, people would come up to
246
00:08:46,678 --> 00:08:48,437
Brec Bassinger: me and they'd ask like, oh, what do you
247
00:08:48,457 --> 00:08:49,521
Brec Bassinger: wanna be when you're older?
248
00:08:50,095 --> 00:08:52,082
Brec Bassinger: And I literally would say I don't want to
249
00:08:52,122 --> 00:08:54,221
Brec Bassinger: be anything, I'm gonna be an actress.
250
00:08:54,675 --> 00:08:56,778
Brec Bassinger: I was a very sassy child but I just like
251
00:08:56,858 --> 00:08:58,557
Brec Bassinger: knew from a young age like this is what I
252
00:08:58,598 --> 00:08:59,542
Brec Bassinger: was destined to do.
253
00:08:59,675 --> 00:09:03,200
Brec Bassinger: I felt very called to do it and I do see
254
00:09:03,220 --> 00:09:05,557
Brec Bassinger: that as very much of a blessing, because LA
255
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,778
Brec Bassinger: going there and there being so many blonde,
256
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:11,944
Brec Bassinger: blue-eyed girls and I was just one of the
257
00:09:12,044 --> 00:09:13,838
Brec Bassinger: thousands, it could have been very
258
00:09:13,899 --> 00:09:14,541
Brec Bassinger: intimidating.
259
00:09:14,655 --> 00:09:15,879
Brec Bassinger: But I kind of just went in with the
260
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,861
Brec Bassinger: attitude of like no, it might not be a
261
00:09:18,941 --> 00:09:21,039
Brec Bassinger: quick thing, it might be like a long-term
262
00:09:21,119 --> 00:09:24,417
Brec Bassinger: 10, 20 years before I make it but this is
263
00:09:24,457 --> 00:09:25,140
Brec Bassinger: what I'm gonna do.
264
00:09:25,977 --> 00:09:26,801
Brec Bassinger: So I never doubted it.
265
00:09:26,895 --> 00:09:28,562
Brec Bassinger: There was never like a plan B for me.
266
00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:30,121
Marc Preston: You've given me a new phrase do, do, do
267
00:09:30,161 --> 00:09:31,921
Marc Preston: clouds and I'm gonna be using that from now
268
00:09:31,941 --> 00:09:31,981
Marc Preston: on.
269
00:09:33,580 --> 00:09:35,105
Brec Bassinger: I say do, do do all the time.
270
00:09:35,155 --> 00:09:36,601
Brec Bassinger: It's actually something I refer to as start
271
00:09:36,641 --> 00:09:37,183
Brec Bassinger: with star girl.
272
00:09:37,657 --> 00:09:39,322
Brec Bassinger: I go do, do do, star girl.
273
00:09:40,256 --> 00:09:41,600
Brec Bassinger: It's become a bad habit.
274
00:09:42,061 --> 00:09:42,804
Marc Preston: No, that's awesome.
275
00:09:42,884 --> 00:09:44,941
Marc Preston: Not as awesome, but of course, being from a
276
00:09:44,961 --> 00:09:46,539
Marc Preston: Dallas and of course people listening know
277
00:09:47,603 --> 00:09:49,620
Marc Preston: to this, if it happens to Dallas or New
278
00:09:49,681 --> 00:09:50,905
Marc Preston: Orleans I'm always bringing it up.
279
00:09:51,035 --> 00:09:53,563
Marc Preston: But my cousin's actually out your way is an
280
00:09:53,643 --> 00:09:54,225
Marc Preston: orthodontist.
281
00:09:55,217 --> 00:09:57,002
Marc Preston: No, I think he has in one office in Saginaw,
282
00:09:57,043 --> 00:10:00,339
Marc Preston: but oh, interesting who I might have gone
283
00:10:00,379 --> 00:10:00,660
Marc Preston: to him.
284
00:10:00,881 --> 00:10:01,543
Marc Preston: Jeremy Lustig.
285
00:10:01,795 --> 00:10:03,342
Brec Bassinger: I literally think that's the orthodontist
286
00:10:03,395 --> 00:10:05,002
Brec Bassinger: who, like, gave me my Invisalign.
287
00:10:05,797 --> 00:10:07,203
Brec Bassinger: His office is right by Walmart.

Marc Preston: Yeah, lustig orthodontics.
295

Marc Preston: Well, I think it's actually changed names.
296
00:10:22,318 --> 00:10:24,503
Marc Preston: He's got a place in, I think, north
297
00:10:24,563 --> 00:10:27,199
Marc Preston: Richland Hills as well, and he's got a few
298
00:10:27,239 --> 00:10:28,323
Marc Preston: offices out west.
299
00:10:28,816 --> 00:10:30,157
Brec Bassinger: Oh, yep, I looked it up.
300
00:10:30,197 --> 00:10:31,795
Brec Bassinger: This is literally where I cause.
301
00:10:31,816 --> 00:10:33,180
Brec Bassinger: There's an orthodontist and there's a
302
00:10:33,260 --> 00:10:35,177
Brec Bassinger: dentist right next to it, and I've been
303
00:10:35,217 --> 00:10:36,915
Brec Bassinger: going to the dentist since it opened and
304
00:10:36,935 --> 00:10:38,441
Brec Bassinger: the orthodontist was the people who, like,
305
00:10:38,883 --> 00:10:40,800
Brec Bassinger: gave me my Invisalign, got me my rubber
306
00:10:40,820 --> 00:10:41,262
Brec Bassinger: bands.
307
00:10:42,195 --> 00:10:44,362
Brec Bassinger: That's what a small world.
308
00:10:44,402 --> 00:10:45,436
Brec Bassinger: That's funny it is.
309
00:10:45,476 --> 00:10:46,260
Marc Preston: In fact, I went to him.
310
00:10:46,335 --> 00:10:47,781
Marc Preston: I just got my braces off.
311
00:10:47,855 --> 00:10:49,159
Marc Preston: I had to get it back on because I do
312
00:10:49,180 --> 00:10:51,297
Marc Preston: voiceover predominantly that's most of what
313
00:10:51,338 --> 00:10:54,039
Marc Preston: I do, that enacting and I noticed that my
314
00:10:54,961 --> 00:10:57,296
Marc Preston: my articulation was going off cause my
315
00:10:57,617 --> 00:10:58,621
Marc Preston: teeth were shifting a little bit.
316
00:10:59,095 --> 00:11:01,003
Marc Preston: So I got braces back on and I was in doubt.
317
00:11:01,256 --> 00:11:02,974
Marc Preston: We actually got connected on Zoom and he
318
00:11:02,994 --> 00:11:04,460
Marc Preston: said get right up in the camera and let me
319
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,023
Marc Preston: look at your teeth.
320
00:11:05,115 --> 00:11:07,662
Marc Preston: And anyway, but yeah, he's, he's.
321
00:11:07,722 --> 00:11:08,625
Marc Preston: We just went to God.
322
00:11:08,645 --> 00:11:09,226
Marc Preston: Where did we go?
323
00:11:09,315 --> 00:11:11,502
Marc Preston: We were just my kids and I were just there.
324
00:11:12,495 --> 00:11:13,500
Marc Preston: God, it was last summer.
325
00:11:13,595 --> 00:11:15,620
Marc Preston: We went to hard eight barbecue.
326
00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:16,422
Marc Preston: I remember that that's.
327
00:11:16,743 --> 00:11:20,256
Brec Bassinger: Yes, yummy, love that place you you.
328
00:11:26,808 --> 00:11:28,353
Marc Preston: When you were looking around and you were
329
00:11:28,413 --> 00:11:30,740
Marc Preston: paying attention to, you know, be it acting
330
00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:31,964
Marc Preston: or whatever, what was it?
331
00:11:32,024 --> 00:11:34,110
Marc Preston: Just that it sounds like you went to work,
332
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,505
Marc Preston: like you viewed it like as a job early on.
333
00:11:36,905 --> 00:11:38,649
Marc Preston: You know not just kind of fanciful thing.
334
00:11:38,669 --> 00:11:39,872
Marc Preston: Was that pretty accurate?
335
00:11:40,212 --> 00:11:41,943
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, so back.
336
00:11:41,963 --> 00:11:44,511
Brec Bassinger: It was like seventh, seventh grade.
337
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,495
Brec Bassinger: I took a short break from acting class, I
338
00:11:47,515 --> 00:11:48,360
Brec Bassinger: took a semester off.
339
00:11:48,681 --> 00:11:50,045
Marc Preston: Where were you taking acting class, like
340
00:11:50,085 --> 00:11:53,383
Marc Preston: over Kim Dawson videos or so Kim Dawson was
341
00:11:53,403 --> 00:11:54,808
Marc Preston: my first agent in Texas.
342
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,846
Brec Bassinger: That's a local agency who's still doing
343
00:11:56,866 --> 00:11:59,043
Brec Bassinger: their thing, but she actually found me
344
00:11:59,143 --> 00:12:00,466
Brec Bassinger: through the acting school Catherine
345
00:12:00,506 --> 00:12:03,563
Brec Bassinger: Sullivan, who has produced so many
346
00:12:03,623 --> 00:12:06,574
Brec Bassinger: professional actors from like Selena Gomez
347
00:12:06,594 --> 00:12:08,280
Brec Bassinger: went there, demi Lovato went there, debbie
348
00:12:08,380 --> 00:12:11,627
Brec Bassinger: Bryant like a lot of the Disney Nick kids
349
00:12:11,848 --> 00:12:13,251
Brec Bassinger: came from that studio.
350
00:12:13,511 --> 00:12:14,173
Marc Preston: Isn't that wild.
351
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,565
Marc Preston: How many come from the Dallas Fort Worth
352
00:12:15,665 --> 00:12:15,886
Marc Preston: area?
353
00:12:16,762 --> 00:12:20,590
Marc Preston: I think Selena was from Plano, I think yeah,
354
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:21,071
Marc Preston: yeah.
355
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,944
Brec Bassinger: So I do have to give a lot of credit to the
356
00:12:24,065 --> 00:12:25,028
Brec Bassinger: acting studio Kathy.
357
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,068
Brec Bassinger: She knows how to train specifically for
358
00:12:30,449 --> 00:12:32,012
Brec Bassinger: those kid networks, because it is a
359
00:12:32,052 --> 00:12:33,423
Brec Bassinger: different kind of acting with different
360
00:12:33,444 --> 00:12:33,845
Brec Bassinger: timing.
361
00:12:35,121 --> 00:12:35,985
Brec Bassinger: But no, it was seventh grade.
362
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,887
Brec Bassinger: I had taken a semester off because I was
363
00:12:38,907 --> 00:12:40,391
Brec Bassinger: like I'm going to focus on school.
364
00:12:41,140 --> 00:12:42,744
Brec Bassinger: And when I went back to acting class the
365
00:12:42,784 --> 00:12:45,549
Brec Bassinger: following semester, kathy was like upset at
366
00:12:45,570 --> 00:12:45,710
Brec Bassinger: me.
367
00:12:46,371 --> 00:12:48,443
Brec Bassinger: And she's a hard head, she does not take
368
00:12:48,484 --> 00:12:50,662
Brec Bassinger: crap from anyone and I think that's another
369
00:12:50,682 --> 00:12:52,326
Brec Bassinger: reason she produces a lot of successful
370
00:12:52,426 --> 00:12:52,707
Brec Bassinger: actors.
371
00:12:52,767 --> 00:12:56,664
Brec Bassinger: Because she told me she was like if you
372
00:12:56,724 --> 00:12:59,931
Brec Bassinger: want to be successful, this can't just be a
373
00:12:59,951 --> 00:13:00,212
Brec Bassinger: hobby.
374
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:02,165
Brec Bassinger: You have to really want to do this.
375
00:13:02,380 --> 00:13:03,464
Brec Bassinger: If this is a hobby and you just want to
376
00:13:03,484 --> 00:13:05,341
Brec Bassinger: take acting class, that's fine, but I know
377
00:13:05,381 --> 00:13:06,305
Brec Bassinger: that's not what you want.
378
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,361
Brec Bassinger: So you don't need to be taking breaks, you
379
00:13:08,381 --> 00:13:09,325
Brec Bassinger: need to be really studying.
380
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,604
Brec Bassinger: And so that was kind of when my perspective
381
00:13:11,644 --> 00:13:15,252
Brec Bassinger: changed that there is hundreds, thousands
382
00:13:15,801 --> 00:13:19,943
Brec Bassinger: of kids who dream of doing this and if you
383
00:13:20,043 --> 00:13:22,950
Brec Bassinger: want to be successful, you almost do have
384
00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:23,812
Brec Bassinger: to take it seriously.
385
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,205
Brec Bassinger: Like it is, it is a job.
386
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,605
Brec Bassinger: You would be getting paid for this job.
387
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,507
Brec Bassinger: And then so eighth grade came around and I
388
00:13:31,567 --> 00:13:35,100
Brec Bassinger: started like I missed a volleyball game to
389
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,424
Brec Bassinger: go to an audition and my volleyball coach
390
00:13:38,865 --> 00:13:41,071
Brec Bassinger: set me out like binged me for the rest of
391
00:13:41,091 --> 00:13:42,604
Brec Bassinger: the season because she thought I was so
392
00:13:42,785 --> 00:13:44,975
Brec Bassinger: silly to go to an audition instead of a
393
00:13:45,035 --> 00:13:46,060
Brec Bassinger: middle school volleyball game.
394
00:13:46,180 --> 00:13:47,507
Marc Preston: It doesn't kind of suck, though, for a
395
00:13:47,568 --> 00:13:49,598
Marc Preston: school kid, because you've got this tug of
396
00:13:49,638 --> 00:13:51,526
Marc Preston: war starting to happen and then you're
397
00:13:51,546 --> 00:13:54,116
Marc Preston: having to make some decisions that are also
398
00:13:54,156 --> 00:13:56,105
Marc Preston: impacting you socially as well in schools.
399
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,287
Marc Preston: So that's kind of you know, it seems like
400
00:13:58,327 --> 00:13:58,507
Marc Preston: that.
401
00:13:59,420 --> 00:14:02,007
Brec Bassinger: Oh, I was so hurt because before that I had
402
00:14:02,047 --> 00:14:03,872
Brec Bassinger: been a starting player and all around
403
00:14:03,912 --> 00:14:04,152
Brec Bassinger: player.
404
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,262
Brec Bassinger: I played the whole game and then after that
405
00:14:06,302 --> 00:14:08,347
Brec Bassinger: they would put me in for one play every
406
00:14:08,367 --> 00:14:09,811
Brec Bassinger: single game, just so they didn't get in
407
00:14:09,831 --> 00:14:10,923
Brec Bassinger: trouble, and that's it.
408
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,829
Brec Bassinger: But I almost use that as a motivation,
409
00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:15,879
Brec Bassinger: because to me they thought I was just doing
410
00:14:15,899 --> 00:14:16,763
Brec Bassinger: some thing silly.
411
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:19,085
Brec Bassinger: I use that as a motivation to, like, almost
412
00:14:19,166 --> 00:14:19,968
Brec Bassinger: prove them wrong.
413
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,409
Brec Bassinger: And three years later I'd been on the
414
00:14:22,449 --> 00:14:23,073
Brec Bassinger: Nickelodeon show.
415
00:14:23,093 --> 00:14:24,600
Brec Bassinger: I came back and the volleyball coach
416
00:14:24,781 --> 00:14:26,887
Brec Bassinger: actually set me down and apologized to me.
417
00:14:26,927 --> 00:14:27,208
Marc Preston: Really.
418
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,666
Brec Bassinger: And was like I'm so sorry that I kind of
419
00:14:29,786 --> 00:14:30,489
Brec Bassinger: isolated you.
420
00:14:30,620 --> 00:14:32,686
Brec Bassinger: I didn't realize what this meant to you and
421
00:14:32,706 --> 00:14:34,010
Brec Bassinger: how seriously you were taking it.
422
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,607
Brec Bassinger: So that was kind of a very full, full
423
00:14:37,627 --> 00:14:39,172
Brec Bassinger: circle moment for me.
424
00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:41,130
Marc Preston: Were your parents really endorsing this?
425
00:14:41,271 --> 00:14:42,799
Marc Preston: Or are they kind of like, you know, hey,
426
00:14:42,819 --> 00:14:44,647
Marc Preston: this is what you, who was driving the train
427
00:14:44,707 --> 00:14:44,928
Marc Preston: on this?
428
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:47,326
Marc Preston: Or was it kind of like like the way I am
429
00:14:47,346 --> 00:14:48,670
Marc Preston: with my daughter, emma, who plays
430
00:14:48,930 --> 00:14:51,165
Marc Preston: volleyball, but they started practice early
431
00:14:51,241 --> 00:14:53,112
Marc Preston: this summer and she's like two weeks after
432
00:14:53,188 --> 00:14:54,347
Marc Preston: school got on and she's like I don't know
433
00:14:54,387 --> 00:14:56,201
Marc Preston: if I want to spend my summer, you know.
434
00:14:56,221 --> 00:14:57,485
Marc Preston: So it's like, hey, you know, if you do it,
435
00:14:57,525 --> 00:14:58,066
Marc Preston: commit to it.
436
00:14:58,267 --> 00:14:58,989
Marc Preston: That was my thing.
437
00:14:59,460 --> 00:15:00,183
Marc Preston: You don't have to do it.
438
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,453
Marc Preston: What was your parents' approach when you
439
00:15:02,492 --> 00:15:04,163
Marc Preston: were in eighth grade and you're like I want
440
00:15:04,201 --> 00:15:04,723
Marc Preston: to be an actor.
441
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:06,228
Brec Bassinger: They were clueless.
442
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,447
Brec Bassinger: You know, being from Saginaw, texas, we
443
00:15:09,707 --> 00:15:11,912
Brec Bassinger: they didn't know the first place to start,
444
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,866
Brec Bassinger: but they my dad, much like it sounds like
445
00:15:14,947 --> 00:15:16,591
Brec Bassinger: you was always one like if you want to do
446
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,004
Brec Bassinger: it, we're going to commit to it and we're
447
00:15:18,024 --> 00:15:20,250
Brec Bassinger: going to figure out how to support you.
448
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,406
Brec Bassinger: So once again, going back to like Kim
449
00:15:23,446 --> 00:15:25,151
Brec Bassinger: Dawson and Catherine Sullivan, there were
450
00:15:25,191 --> 00:15:27,586
Brec Bassinger: people there who were working and kind of
451
00:15:27,667 --> 00:15:28,629
Brec Bassinger: knew the LA Marcet.
452
00:15:29,140 --> 00:15:30,427
Brec Bassinger: So I give so much credit to them for
453
00:15:30,487 --> 00:15:33,222
Brec Bassinger: helping my mom and being being kind to help
454
00:15:33,302 --> 00:15:34,447
Brec Bassinger: guide us on what to do.
455
00:15:34,660 --> 00:15:38,382
Brec Bassinger: And the manager my first manager I'm still
456
00:15:38,402 --> 00:15:40,042
Brec Bassinger: with her to this day, so I've been with her
457
00:15:40,103 --> 00:15:42,370
Brec Bassinger: now for 11 years.
458
00:15:42,821 --> 00:15:44,126
Brec Bassinger: She found me in Texas.
459
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,107
Brec Bassinger: She actually helped me get with Kim Dawson,
460
00:15:46,641 --> 00:15:48,081
Brec Bassinger: helped me get an LA agent, and it was
461
00:15:48,121 --> 00:15:49,300
Brec Bassinger: really, I feel, like she was one of the
462
00:15:49,321 --> 00:15:50,926
Brec Bassinger: driving forces to actually help move me
463
00:15:51,027 --> 00:15:51,448
Brec Bassinger: forward.
464
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,389
Brec Bassinger: But my mom was next to me the whole time
465
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,426
Brec Bassinger: traveling back and forth between LA and
466
00:15:56,447 --> 00:15:56,788
Brec Bassinger: Texas.
467
00:15:56,848 --> 00:15:57,541
Brec Bassinger: To me, yeah, that's.
468
00:15:57,561 --> 00:15:59,428
Marc Preston: The next question I've got for you is how
469
00:15:59,448 --> 00:16:02,970
Marc Preston: did that work, because you have siblings,
470
00:16:03,402 --> 00:16:05,420
Marc Preston: and how was that working with the you know
471
00:16:05,460 --> 00:16:06,143
Marc Preston: who's in Texas?
472
00:16:06,223 --> 00:16:07,468
Marc Preston: How's it working with you in LA?
473
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,685
Marc Preston: How did that break out for you?
474
00:16:09,342 --> 00:16:12,144
Brec Bassinger: It was difficult because my dad, his job up
475
00:16:12,224 --> 00:16:14,506
Brec Bassinger: until that point was he was a fish farmer,
476
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:16,645
Brec Bassinger: so you can't really pick up and move your
477
00:16:16,705 --> 00:16:17,708
Brec Bassinger: farm to California.
478
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:20,540
Brec Bassinger: So he was stuck, he couldn't move, we
479
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,881
Brec Bassinger: couldn't pick up and move the family One.
480
00:16:22,981 --> 00:16:23,825
Brec Bassinger: I've two older brothers.
481
00:16:24,261 --> 00:16:25,726
Brec Bassinger: One of them, fortunately, was already in
482
00:16:25,767 --> 00:16:26,964
Brec Bassinger: college, so he had moved out.
483
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,549
Brec Bassinger: And then the brother, the middle brother,
484
00:16:30,749 --> 00:16:34,406
Brec Bassinger: middle child, he was in his senior year of
485
00:16:34,466 --> 00:16:36,704
Brec Bassinger: high school when I really started traveling
486
00:16:36,744 --> 00:16:38,329
Brec Bassinger: back and forth between LA.
487
00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:40,707
Brec Bassinger: So it definitely it took sacrifices from
488
00:16:40,747 --> 00:16:42,864
Brec Bassinger: not only my mom but also definitely him,
489
00:16:42,884 --> 00:16:44,481
Brec Bassinger: because there was a good period where he
490
00:16:44,521 --> 00:16:46,569
Brec Bassinger: was kind of having to navigate things
491
00:16:47,523 --> 00:16:48,988
Brec Bassinger: without both of his parents home.
492
00:16:49,420 --> 00:16:51,668
Brec Bassinger: So I'm very fortunate that he was also
493
00:16:51,708 --> 00:16:53,164
Brec Bassinger: supportive of me wanting to do this.
494
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,065
Brec Bassinger: At the beginning it was definitely very
495
00:16:56,126 --> 00:16:58,847
Brec Bassinger: difficult, like financially LA is extremely
496
00:16:58,908 --> 00:17:02,287
Brec Bassinger: expensive and expecting my parents just to
497
00:17:02,367 --> 00:17:04,782
Brec Bassinger: support me living in LA is really
498
00:17:04,862 --> 00:17:05,485
Brec Bassinger: unrealistic.
499
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:08,989
Brec Bassinger: So I was so lucky that my very first pilot
500
00:17:09,009 --> 00:17:10,846
Brec Bassinger: season like the first three weeks I ever
501
00:17:10,886 --> 00:17:13,665
Brec Bassinger: went down to LA I booked a recurring role
502
00:17:13,786 --> 00:17:16,001
Brec Bassinger: on a different Nickelodeon show that kind
503
00:17:16,021 --> 00:17:18,649
Brec Bassinger: of paid for me to go back and forth between
504
00:17:18,669 --> 00:17:21,026
Brec Bassinger: LA and was able from then to kind of
505
00:17:21,087 --> 00:17:24,042
Brec Bassinger: support this dream financially, but up
506
00:17:24,122 --> 00:17:27,542
Brec Bassinger: until then both my parents had made so many
507
00:17:27,603 --> 00:17:28,888
Brec Bassinger: sacrifices to do that.
508
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:30,966
Marc Preston: How many months out of the year are you
509
00:17:31,367 --> 00:17:32,110
Marc Preston: shooting Stargirl?
510
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,385
Brec Bassinger: Depends on the season.
511
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,622
Brec Bassinger: First season took eight months and in the
512
00:17:35,662 --> 00:17:37,676
Brec Bassinger: past two seasons were between six and seven
513
00:17:37,716 --> 00:17:37,917
Brec Bassinger: months.
514
00:17:38,380 --> 00:17:40,100
Marc Preston: So do you kind of head back to Texas and
515
00:17:40,141 --> 00:17:41,502
Marc Preston: get a little time off and get a little
516
00:17:41,542 --> 00:17:44,186
Marc Preston: change of atmosphere in between you taking
517
00:17:44,227 --> 00:17:44,447
Marc Preston: a break?
518
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,642
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, once again, every hiatus thus far has
519
00:17:46,662 --> 00:17:48,582
Brec Bassinger: been extremely different, considering our
520
00:17:48,642 --> 00:17:50,368
Brec Bassinger: first hiatus was 2020.
521
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,586
Brec Bassinger: So definitely which has stuck at home.
522
00:17:52,626 --> 00:17:55,485
Brec Bassinger: The whole time actually was in LA, which
523
00:17:55,886 --> 00:17:58,663
Brec Bassinger: was not the most fun, which ended up
524
00:17:58,704 --> 00:18:00,681
Brec Bassinger: pushing me to move back to Texas, which is
525
00:18:00,721 --> 00:18:01,485
Brec Bassinger: why I'm here now.
526
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,227
Brec Bassinger: And then last hiatus, I was fortunate
527
00:18:05,267 --> 00:18:07,462
Brec Bassinger: enough to do a movie which should be coming
528
00:18:07,523 --> 00:18:09,248
Brec Bassinger: out soon, called man in the White Band,
529
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:12,348
Brec Bassinger: with Sean Aston and Ali Larder.
530
00:18:12,528 --> 00:18:12,990
Marc Preston: Oh really.
531
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:14,163
Brec Bassinger: Once again.
532
00:18:14,183 --> 00:18:16,043
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, another great cast that I got to work
533
00:18:16,083 --> 00:18:18,206
Brec Bassinger: with and that should be coming out sometime
534
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,023
Brec Bassinger: in the end of this year.
535
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:21,327
Brec Bassinger: And then this hiatus I'm actually going to.
536
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,829
Brec Bassinger: I filmed one movie in LA which is like a
537
00:18:24,889 --> 00:18:26,782
Brec Bassinger: quick cameo role, and then I'm going to
538
00:18:26,822 --> 00:18:29,169
Brec Bassinger: film another movie in Oregon in about a
539
00:18:29,209 --> 00:18:29,410
Brec Bassinger: month.
540
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,407
Brec Bassinger: So I try to like do at least one or two
541
00:18:31,487 --> 00:18:34,225
Brec Bassinger: projects during my hiatus, and then, other
542
00:18:34,245 --> 00:18:36,185
Brec Bassinger: than that I do, I try to just like mentally
543
00:18:36,245 --> 00:18:38,887
Brec Bassinger: get healthy again, because the hours of
544
00:18:38,947 --> 00:18:41,347
Brec Bassinger: Star Girl are definitely mentally taxing.
545
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,506
Marc Preston: Yeah, are you in Texas or LA right now?
546
00:18:43,807 --> 00:18:45,331
Brec Bassinger: I'm in Texas right now Texas yay, awesome.
547
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,743
Marc Preston: So I'm a little bit envious because I'm
548
00:18:48,265 --> 00:18:49,068
Marc Preston: it's been a little while.
549
00:18:49,140 --> 00:18:50,605
Marc Preston: I kind of have to get my little dose of
550
00:18:50,665 --> 00:18:52,965
Marc Preston: Texas every like once a year, you know.
551
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,067
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, the good barbecue Tex-Mex.
552
00:18:56,268 --> 00:18:56,929
Marc Preston: Hey, I don't, I don't.
553
00:18:56,949 --> 00:18:57,671
Brec Bassinger: Great for your heart.
554
00:18:59,004 --> 00:18:59,847
Marc Preston: I'm not going to lie.
555
00:19:00,461 --> 00:19:01,987
Marc Preston: I got to hit Waterburger at least once.
556
00:19:02,260 --> 00:19:04,348
Marc Preston: That I was talking to a friend of mine in
557
00:19:04,388 --> 00:19:07,002
Marc Preston: Atlanta who's an expat Texan as well, and
558
00:19:07,283 --> 00:19:09,450
Marc Preston: as unsexy as it is, is Taco Bueno.
559
00:19:09,540 --> 00:19:11,267
Marc Preston: You got to go there once, you know.
560
00:19:11,420 --> 00:19:13,998
Brec Bassinger: Taco Bueno yum, my mom, that's like her
561
00:19:14,038 --> 00:19:15,123
Brec Bassinger: favorite, Although I have to say, a lot of
562
00:19:15,143 --> 00:19:17,001
Brec Bassinger: the Taco Buenos have been shutting down and
563
00:19:17,021 --> 00:19:18,265
Brec Bassinger: this is very sad to see.
564
00:19:18,285 --> 00:19:18,365
Brec Bassinger: Yeah.
565
00:19:19,067 --> 00:19:19,770
Marc Preston: You know it's so funny.
566
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,647
Marc Preston: So many people that I know actors are
567
00:19:21,687 --> 00:19:21,968
Marc Preston: moving.
568
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,866
Marc Preston: A lot of them are moving from LA to Austin
569
00:19:24,348 --> 00:19:26,146
Marc Preston: now and a lot of the folks I'm talking with
570
00:19:26,780 --> 00:19:27,905
Marc Preston: the paradigm has shifted.
571
00:19:28,341 --> 00:19:30,548
Marc Preston: I kind of took a hiatus from on-camera
572
00:19:30,588 --> 00:19:30,989
Marc Preston: stuff to.
573
00:19:31,460 --> 00:19:33,367
Marc Preston: You know, I got my kids are rapping high
574
00:19:33,407 --> 00:19:36,428
Marc Preston: school and I'm keeping busy with what I'm
575
00:19:36,468 --> 00:19:36,689
Marc Preston: doing.
576
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,430
Marc Preston: But I was just speaking with another actor.
577
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,344
Marc Preston: He's like man, you don't have to go on
578
00:19:41,424 --> 00:19:42,147
Marc Preston: auditions anymore.
579
00:19:42,421 --> 00:19:43,746
Marc Preston: Everything is taped now.
580
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,128
Marc Preston: You know, long-term, if you had your choice
581
00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:48,801
Marc Preston: of where you would love to live, are you
582
00:19:49,263 --> 00:19:51,724
Marc Preston: really love an LA or you'd like kind of
583
00:19:51,764 --> 00:19:52,868
Marc Preston: find a place in Texas?
584
00:19:53,521 --> 00:19:56,068
Brec Bassinger: I changed my answer every single day.
585
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,708
Brec Bassinger: As of now, I have a place in Texas.
586
00:19:59,141 --> 00:20:00,326
Brec Bassinger: I needed a home base.
587
00:20:00,580 --> 00:20:03,168
Brec Bassinger: I was traveling so much for work that I was
588
00:20:03,308 --> 00:20:05,645
Brec Bassinger: losing my mail because I lived in like five
589
00:20:05,685 --> 00:20:08,386
Brec Bassinger: different addresses in a year and a half
590
00:20:08,620 --> 00:20:09,926
Brec Bassinger: and I'm like this is bananas.
591
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,690
Brec Bassinger: So I, as of now, I have a home in Texas
592
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,987
Brec Bassinger: that will be my home base indefinitely.
593
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:18,947
Brec Bassinger: That being said, there is something so
594
00:20:19,027 --> 00:20:23,410
Brec Bassinger: special about LA and the amount of artistic
595
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:23,631
Brec Bassinger: people.
596
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:23,861
Brec Bassinger: You know.
597
00:20:23,881 --> 00:20:25,381
Brec Bassinger: People a lot of times move there for the
598
00:20:25,421 --> 00:20:26,621
Brec Bassinger: entertainment industry, so you're just
599
00:20:26,641 --> 00:20:28,467
Brec Bassinger: surrounded by like-minded people in that
600
00:20:28,528 --> 00:20:30,767
Brec Bassinger: sense, and I miss that so much.
601
00:20:30,900 --> 00:20:34,630
Brec Bassinger: So eventually I can see myself making my
602
00:20:34,690 --> 00:20:37,125
Brec Bassinger: way back to LA, but as of now, I'm in no
603
00:20:37,205 --> 00:20:40,128
Brec Bassinger: rush, I'm just going with the flow.
604
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,680
Marc Preston: Yeah, that's you know, that's the way I
605
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:42,363
Marc Preston: think you gotta do.
606
00:20:42,423 --> 00:20:43,802
Marc Preston: It is just kind of like what's that phrase?
607
00:20:43,842 --> 00:20:45,849
Marc Preston: Man plans, God laughs, that kind of a deal.
608
00:20:46,281 --> 00:20:47,963
Brec Bassinger: Oh love, I've never heard that I love that.
609
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:49,525
Marc Preston: Of course you're talking about all the
610
00:20:49,545 --> 00:20:51,646
Marc Preston: things you have to do being with a DC
611
00:20:52,028 --> 00:20:52,409
Marc Preston: universe.
612
00:20:52,469 --> 00:20:54,066
Marc Preston: Now you gotta be hitting some of the cons
613
00:20:54,126 --> 00:20:56,146
Marc Preston: you know, like the Comic Con or Dragon Con.
614
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,785
Marc Preston: Have you been doing a lot of that?
615
00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:01,108
Brec Bassinger: Well, our first season did premiere May
616
00:21:01,128 --> 00:21:01,790
Brec Bassinger: 2020.
617
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:04,880
Brec Bassinger: And it was it's been interesting, this
618
00:21:04,921 --> 00:21:06,586
Brec Bassinger: whole roller coaster that I like to call
619
00:21:06,626 --> 00:21:09,686
Brec Bassinger: Star Girl, because when, originally, when I
620
00:21:09,726 --> 00:21:11,182
Brec Bassinger: got cast at a Star Girl, that's kind of
621
00:21:11,202 --> 00:21:13,242
Brec Bassinger: like the first thing I pictured is going to
622
00:21:13,283 --> 00:21:16,141
Brec Bassinger: Comic-Cons and having people dressed up as
623
00:21:16,763 --> 00:21:19,705
Brec Bassinger: the superhero I'm playing, and for the
624
00:21:19,745 --> 00:21:21,784
Brec Bassinger: first two years I didn't, I didn't get any
625
00:21:21,824 --> 00:21:24,027
Brec Bassinger: of that and it was definitely a hard pill
626
00:21:24,067 --> 00:21:24,709
Brec Bassinger: to swallow.
627
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,841
Brec Bassinger: It's obviously the show has brought me, has
628
00:21:27,901 --> 00:21:29,888
Brec Bassinger: exceeded my expectations in so many ways
629
00:21:29,940 --> 00:21:30,823
Brec Bassinger: and brought me so many things.
630
00:21:30,843 --> 00:21:33,504
Brec Bassinger: I never expected, but I definitely it was
631
00:21:33,524 --> 00:21:35,202
Brec Bassinger: something I felt like I I was kind of
632
00:21:35,243 --> 00:21:35,926
Brec Bassinger: missing out on it.
633
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,345
Brec Bassinger: It was really sad for me, but, as of about
634
00:21:39,445 --> 00:21:42,024
Brec Bassinger: two months ago, I got to go to my very
635
00:21:42,104 --> 00:21:44,765
Brec Bassinger: first convention and I like, on the last
636
00:21:44,805 --> 00:21:47,004
Brec Bassinger: day, I started crying, I like gave a speech
637
00:21:47,446 --> 00:21:49,323
Brec Bassinger: and I was bawling because it was such a
638
00:21:49,363 --> 00:21:51,421
Brec Bassinger: surreal moment to me for, like, I had
639
00:21:51,481 --> 00:21:54,201
Brec Bassinger: filmed three seasons of this show and it
640
00:21:54,221 --> 00:21:55,847
Brec Bassinger: was the first time I was getting to
641
00:21:55,907 --> 00:21:59,989
Brec Bassinger: experience what the typical superhero actor
642
00:22:00,831 --> 00:22:02,034
Brec Bassinger: does their very first year.
643
00:22:02,580 --> 00:22:04,861
Brec Bassinger: So it was such a such a blessing, so
644
00:22:04,941 --> 00:22:06,247
Brec Bassinger: validating and fulfilling.
645
00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:07,546
Marc Preston: Was it at all overwhelming?
646
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,483
Marc Preston: I mean, was it make of?
647
00:22:08,523 --> 00:22:09,025
Marc Preston: You've got?
648
00:22:10,329 --> 00:22:11,503
Marc Preston: You know people like you?
649
00:22:11,764 --> 00:22:13,302
Marc Preston: You've been waiting to go and I'm sure
650
00:22:13,342 --> 00:22:15,784
Marc Preston: people have been waiting to go see you and
651
00:22:15,824 --> 00:22:16,185
Marc Preston: other people.
652
00:22:16,541 --> 00:22:17,795
Marc Preston: Is it overwhelming the amount of people
653
00:22:17,816 --> 00:22:19,505
Marc Preston: that are wanting to just get a get a get a
654
00:22:19,545 --> 00:22:20,208
Marc Preston: piece of break?
655
00:22:20,620 --> 00:22:22,566
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, I, the first one was.
656
00:22:23,147 --> 00:22:26,185
Brec Bassinger: It was in the UK and it was much more
657
00:22:26,346 --> 00:22:28,826
Brec Bassinger: intimate than the American conventions I've
658
00:22:28,886 --> 00:22:29,268
Brec Bassinger: been to.
659
00:22:29,740 --> 00:22:31,747
Brec Bassinger: But after I went so I'm glad that was kind
660
00:22:31,768 --> 00:22:34,226
Brec Bassinger: of like me dipping my toes into the water
661
00:22:34,347 --> 00:22:37,144
Brec Bassinger: because it was it was like a thousand
662
00:22:37,184 --> 00:22:39,431
Brec Bassinger: people at the whole convention, great.
663
00:22:40,941 --> 00:22:42,621
Brec Bassinger: Then I went to the Dallas Con, which was
664
00:22:42,641 --> 00:22:43,646
Brec Bassinger: like my very first.
665
00:22:43,962 --> 00:22:46,579
Brec Bassinger: I actually want to say it's hosted by Comic
666
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:48,567
Brec Bassinger: Con, but it's called something different.
667
00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:50,326
Brec Bassinger: I was like fan expo.
668
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,626
Marc Preston: What was it like to be doing that at home,
669
00:22:52,947 --> 00:22:53,289
Marc Preston: you know.
670
00:22:53,620 --> 00:22:56,126
Brec Bassinger: Oh yeah, but at that one there was between
671
00:22:56,247 --> 00:22:59,061
Brec Bassinger: 30 and 40,000 people, Wow, and it was so
672
00:22:59,081 --> 00:23:00,044
Brec Bassinger: overwhelming, but it was.
673
00:23:00,666 --> 00:23:03,466
Brec Bassinger: I got up, I drove 45 minutes to the
674
00:23:03,506 --> 00:23:04,308
Brec Bassinger: convention center.
675
00:23:05,121 --> 00:23:08,690
Brec Bassinger: I got 12 free tickets to bring my whole
676
00:23:08,751 --> 00:23:09,152
Brec Bassinger: family.
677
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,606
Brec Bassinger: I had my whole family there.
678
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:13,681
Brec Bassinger: They set in the panel and thankfully they
679
00:23:13,721 --> 00:23:15,462
Brec Bassinger: didn't ask any questions that could have
680
00:23:15,482 --> 00:23:16,286
Brec Bassinger: gotten me in trouble.
681
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,227
Brec Bassinger: So I'm grateful for them on that part.
682
00:23:19,741 --> 00:23:20,966
Brec Bassinger: But after that I called.
683
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,126
Brec Bassinger: So there's things called convention agents
684
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,425
Brec Bassinger: who get me these conventions.
685
00:23:25,465 --> 00:23:26,048
Marc Preston: I've heard about that.
686
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:27,464
Brec Bassinger: And I called my.
687
00:23:27,484 --> 00:23:29,161
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, it was such a new thing to me, a new
688
00:23:29,201 --> 00:23:31,821
Brec Bassinger: concept, because I never done it before, I
689
00:23:31,861 --> 00:23:32,122
Brec Bassinger: never.
690
00:23:32,463 --> 00:23:34,401
Brec Bassinger: I didn't understand the process of it, but
691
00:23:34,983 --> 00:23:36,901
Brec Bassinger: I called my convention agent after and I
692
00:23:36,921 --> 00:23:39,104
Brec Bassinger: was like I'm addicted, I want to do more.
693
00:23:40,381 --> 00:23:42,527
Brec Bassinger: This is for me.
694
00:23:42,607 --> 00:23:45,541
Brec Bassinger: This is what Stargirl should feel like at
695
00:23:45,601 --> 00:23:47,547
Brec Bassinger: all times, because it just felt so
696
00:23:48,049 --> 00:23:50,245
Brec Bassinger: fulfilling to meet people that had watched
697
00:23:50,285 --> 00:23:51,489
Brec Bassinger: the show I worked so hard on.
698
00:23:51,820 --> 00:23:53,266
Marc Preston: What's kind of the most common thing you
699
00:23:53,306 --> 00:23:55,547
Marc Preston: experience when people finally meet you.
700
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,745
Marc Preston: What are they asking you?
701
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,262
Marc Preston: What are they?
702
00:23:57,463 --> 00:23:58,486
Marc Preston: What's the experience like?
703
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:02,157
Brec Bassinger: I'd say mostly it's people just really
704
00:24:02,198 --> 00:24:04,080
Brec Bassinger: telling me how much they love the show and
705
00:24:04,903 --> 00:24:10,721
Brec Bassinger: how it is or one of their favorite CW DC
706
00:24:11,595 --> 00:24:12,540
Brec Bassinger: Arrowverse shows.
707
00:24:12,821 --> 00:24:15,452
Brec Bassinger: In a long long time, and, like I said, for
708
00:24:15,472 --> 00:24:16,981
Brec Bassinger: the first two years, I didn't meet a single
709
00:24:17,042 --> 00:24:18,391
Brec Bassinger: person that had watched our girls.
710
00:24:18,411 --> 00:24:20,418
Brec Bassinger: So in my head it was just me, my family, my
711
00:24:20,458 --> 00:24:22,082
Brec Bassinger: grandma and my dog who watched it.
712
00:24:22,643 --> 00:24:24,568
Brec Bassinger: So to hear like the the first thing is like
713
00:24:25,056 --> 00:24:26,260
Brec Bassinger: I love the first two seasons.
714
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,006
Brec Bassinger: I'm counting down to the third season.
715
00:24:29,117 --> 00:24:30,742
Brec Bassinger: I would say that's probably the most common
716
00:24:31,123 --> 00:24:33,210
Brec Bassinger: common thing I get told when is the third
717
00:24:33,250 --> 00:24:33,852

Brec Bassinger: August yeah, august 31st, on CW 8 pm.
720
00:24:38,545 --> 00:24:41,239
Brec Bassinger: I'm 87, central, I believe, and then I
721
00:24:41,299 --> 00:24:43,884
Brec Bassinger: imagine it'll drop on HBO Max once the full
722
00:24:43,904 --> 00:24:44,886
Brec Bassinger: season airs.
723
00:24:44,906 --> 00:24:45,989
Marc Preston: That's what you've been watching it on.

00:24:46,856 --> 00:24:47,458
Marc Preston: You see a dog.
725
00:24:47,478 --> 00:24:48,301
Marc Preston: What kind of dog you got.

Brec Bassinger: I have a little Yorkie poo I.

00:24:50,878 --> 00:24:52,563
Brec Bassinger: I got him right when we wrapped season
728
00:24:52,663 --> 00:24:54,428
Brec Bassinger: three because I'm like I need a few months
729
00:24:54,588 --> 00:24:57,055
Brec Bassinger: to train him, and it's been going well.
730
00:24:57,437 --> 00:24:59,387
Marc Preston: Yeah, we have a golden retriever here, so
731
00:24:59,428 --> 00:25:01,116
Marc Preston: he's a little bit bigger but.
732
00:25:01,677 --> 00:25:03,501

Marc Preston: series?
744
00:25:23,243 --> 00:25:25,310
Marc Preston: Would you like a good mix between that and
745
00:25:25,451 --> 00:25:27,998
Marc Preston: film or others, or would you like to really
746
00:25:28,038 --> 00:25:28,921
Marc Preston: transition into film?
747
00:25:28,961 --> 00:25:30,605
Marc Preston: And what kind of projects would you love to

00:25:33,460 --> 00:25:34,022
Marc Preston: like to work with?
750
00:25:35,196 --> 00:25:37,319
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, something I've definitely learned
751
00:25:37,379 --> 00:25:40,484
Brec Bassinger: through star girl is however great the
752
00:25:40,524 --> 00:25:43,249
Brec Bassinger: project is, it's more important the people
753
00:25:43,309 --> 00:25:44,110
Brec Bassinger: you're working with.
754
00:25:45,136 --> 00:25:46,720
Brec Bassinger: I feel like our showrunner, jeff, has kind
755
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,546
Brec Bassinger: of instilled that in me, that it's better
756
00:25:49,566 --> 00:25:52,081
Brec Bassinger: to work with great people than necessarily
757
00:25:52,121 --> 00:25:54,613
Brec Bassinger: like a great project, and that I mean you
758
00:25:54,634 --> 00:25:56,740
Brec Bassinger: know like Obviously you want to work on
759
00:25:56,780 --> 00:25:58,264
Brec Bassinger: something you're excited to be a part of,
760
00:25:58,405 --> 00:26:00,310
Brec Bassinger: but just surrounding yourself with people
761
00:26:00,330 --> 00:26:02,017
Brec Bassinger: that you love and make it More fun is so
762
00:26:02,097 --> 00:26:02,599
Brec Bassinger: important.
763
00:26:03,220 --> 00:26:05,787
Brec Bassinger: But and then on the more practical answer,
764
00:26:08,077 --> 00:26:10,505
Brec Bassinger: this is like unpopular opinion among most
765
00:26:10,706 --> 00:26:12,633
Brec Bassinger: actors, because I feel like so many actors
766
00:26:12,673 --> 00:26:14,198
Brec Bassinger: in this day and age, they're like I want to
767
00:26:14,218 --> 00:26:17,047
Brec Bassinger: do something gritty and dramatic and da, da,
768
00:26:17,067 --> 00:26:17,729
Brec Bassinger: da, da da da.
769
00:26:18,190 --> 00:26:19,755
Brec Bassinger: And I'm like I love comedy.
770
00:26:20,017 --> 00:26:21,188
Brec Bassinger: I think it is so fun.
771
00:26:21,389 --> 00:26:24,502
Brec Bassinger: It comes to me More naturally than like the
772
00:26:24,542 --> 00:26:25,926
Brec Bassinger: dramatic side of things.
773
00:26:26,516 --> 00:26:29,347
Brec Bassinger: So I would love to to do some more comedy,
774
00:26:29,487 --> 00:26:31,394
Brec Bassinger: whatever that means, if it's film, tv,
775
00:26:31,474 --> 00:26:33,041
Brec Bassinger: whatever I just think it's very fun.
776
00:26:33,535 --> 00:26:35,461
Marc Preston: Comedy is a little bit more of a challenge.
777
00:26:35,502 --> 00:26:36,886
Marc Preston: So what was your training like?
778
00:26:37,395 --> 00:26:38,240
Marc Preston: Comedy wise?
779
00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:39,787
Marc Preston: Are you a naturally a little bit?
780
00:26:39,808 --> 00:26:41,255
Marc Preston: I mean, are you a little bit of a wise-ass?
781
00:26:41,396 --> 00:26:42,963
Marc Preston: You said you were sassy when you're younger,
782
00:26:43,024 --> 00:26:45,034
Marc Preston: so that it kind of naturally for you for
783
00:26:45,074 --> 00:26:45,154
Marc Preston: sure.
784
00:26:45,557 --> 00:26:50,039
Brec Bassinger: I definitely can be sarcastic and yeah and
785
00:26:50,079 --> 00:26:52,725
Brec Bassinger: sassy, but it comedy is so much more
786
00:26:52,785 --> 00:26:55,237
Brec Bassinger: technical than people think there is.
787
00:26:55,277 --> 00:26:57,322
Brec Bassinger: There's a science to like comedic beats.
788
00:26:57,784 --> 00:27:00,176
Brec Bassinger: So I almost even just like studying Great
789
00:27:00,216 --> 00:27:02,201
Brec Bassinger: comedic actors and their beats and what
790
00:27:02,242 --> 00:27:04,608
Brec Bassinger: makes it funny and their facial expression.
791
00:27:05,115 --> 00:27:06,783
Brec Bassinger: Facial expressions I feel like there is
792
00:27:06,823 --> 00:27:09,555
Brec Bassinger: more of a formula to it and for some people
793
00:27:09,776 --> 00:27:11,261
Brec Bassinger: that's really hard because they don't like
794
00:27:11,281 --> 00:27:12,465
Brec Bassinger: the technical side of acting.
795
00:27:12,475 --> 00:27:14,065
Brec Bassinger: They're like I just want to be free and
796
00:27:14,105 --> 00:27:17,319
Brec Bassinger: expressive, which is great, but comedy
797
00:27:17,339 --> 00:27:18,924
Brec Bassinger: sometimes I feel like you need to be a
798
00:27:18,964 --> 00:27:20,167
Brec Bassinger: little bit more technical with it.
799
00:27:27,439 --> 00:27:28,443
Marc Preston: What actors you know.
800
00:27:28,463 --> 00:27:29,948
Marc Preston: If you say these are kind of like my Mount
801
00:27:29,988 --> 00:27:31,714
Marc Preston: Rushmore, of the comedic actors I like to
802
00:27:31,754 --> 00:27:35,387
Marc Preston: follow and the movies I like, who would
803
00:27:35,407 --> 00:27:36,953
Marc Preston: those people be for the most part?
804
00:27:37,294 --> 00:27:39,362
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, oh, I don't know.
805
00:27:39,403 --> 00:27:41,390
Brec Bassinger: There's so many, so many people I love and
806
00:27:41,410 --> 00:27:41,932
Brec Bassinger: respect.
807
00:27:42,614 --> 00:27:46,205
Brec Bassinger: Recently I really loved Tyka what TT
808
00:27:46,225 --> 00:27:49,795
Brec Bassinger: understated his last name wrong but the
809
00:27:49,855 --> 00:27:53,104
Brec Bassinger: movie Jojo Rabbit he directed, wrote it and
810
00:27:53,325 --> 00:27:55,170
Brec Bassinger: also casted himself in it.
811
00:27:55,651 --> 00:27:57,015
Marc Preston: I mean to make Hitler funny.
812
00:27:57,115 --> 00:27:58,418
Marc Preston: I mean that's a stretch.
813
00:27:58,860 --> 00:28:00,774
Brec Bassinger: It is a stretch and just even that whole
814
00:28:00,834 --> 00:28:01,939
Brec Bassinger: movie, like it was written.
815
00:28:03,184 --> 00:28:05,512
Brec Bassinger: I love when comedy also has a motion in it.
816
00:28:06,013 --> 00:28:08,179
Brec Bassinger: I think it's a very interesting dynamic.
817
00:28:08,519 --> 00:28:12,978
Brec Bassinger: So I love him and then he's probably my new,
818
00:28:13,018 --> 00:28:13,659
Brec Bassinger: my new favorite.
819
00:28:14,201 --> 00:28:14,682
Brec Bassinger: I'll go with him.
820
00:28:14,742 --> 00:28:17,135
Marc Preston: If I think of someone else, I'll say Now,
821
00:28:17,155 --> 00:28:20,001
Marc Preston: did you ever see guys Faris LeCoulson, old
822
00:28:20,041 --> 00:28:20,342
Marc Preston: school?
823
00:28:20,603 --> 00:28:22,254
Marc Preston: God, that was a funny movie.
824
00:28:22,434 --> 00:28:25,923
Brec Bassinger: I haven't people in this past week and I
825
00:28:25,944 --> 00:28:27,232
Brec Bassinger: was at a con and, like you, need to watch
826
00:28:27,272 --> 00:28:28,837
Brec Bassinger: Idiocracy because I haven't seen that
827
00:28:28,937 --> 00:28:30,972
Brec Bassinger: either you know what that's.
828
00:28:31,513 --> 00:28:33,439
Marc Preston: I mean that's got to be a homework
829
00:28:33,479 --> 00:28:34,181
Marc Preston: assignment for you.
830
00:28:34,241 --> 00:28:36,154
Marc Preston: I mean you've got to see Idiocracy, because
831
00:28:36,194 --> 00:28:36,796
Marc Preston: that's just.
832
00:28:37,558 --> 00:28:41,358
Marc Preston: That was such a well done social commentary
833
00:28:41,398 --> 00:28:42,784
Marc Preston: for kind of where we are right now, which
834
00:28:42,825 --> 00:28:43,387
Marc Preston: is kind of funny.
835
00:28:43,929 --> 00:28:47,079
Marc Preston: So I noticed you're we were.
836
00:28:47,219 --> 00:28:48,303
Marc Preston: I was watching last night.
837
00:28:49,747 --> 00:28:51,372
Marc Preston: It's a very physical thing you're doing on
838
00:28:51,412 --> 00:28:53,277
Marc Preston: the show and I you know, with your
839
00:28:53,297 --> 00:28:55,072
Marc Preston: background and cheerleading and everything,
840
00:28:55,474 --> 00:28:57,703
Marc Preston: how much of it are you actually doing?
841
00:28:58,647 --> 00:29:01,858
Marc Preston: Are you doing a fair amount of the flipping
842
00:29:01,898 --> 00:29:03,362
Marc Preston: around and stuff, or is that?
843
00:29:03,724 --> 00:29:05,333
Brec Bassinger: are they kind of throwing somebody else in
844
00:29:05,353 --> 00:29:06,740
Brec Bassinger: there to kind of on the more technical
845
00:29:06,781 --> 00:29:09,394
Brec Bassinger: things, I definitely get to do some of it
846
00:29:09,555 --> 00:29:11,505
Brec Bassinger: and as the seasons have gone on, they've
847
00:29:11,565 --> 00:29:13,152
Brec Bassinger: let me do more and more, as I've just
848
00:29:13,192 --> 00:29:16,182
Brec Bassinger: gotten more experience and a lot of times.
849
00:29:17,146 --> 00:29:19,573
Brec Bassinger: The two reasons I don't get to do my own
850
00:29:19,633 --> 00:29:22,141
Brec Bassinger: stunts would be A it's just way too unsafe
851
00:29:22,181 --> 00:29:23,513
Brec Bassinger: and I could actually get really hurt
852
00:29:23,573 --> 00:29:25,017
Brec Bassinger: they're like we are not shutting production
853
00:29:25,057 --> 00:29:25,298
Brec Bassinger: down.
854
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,562
Brec Bassinger: Or B we just don't have enough time on set
855
00:29:28,602 --> 00:29:30,251
Brec Bassinger: for me to learn the choreography which that
856
00:29:30,332 --> 00:29:32,064
Brec Bassinger: one's always a stinker because it's like if
857
00:29:32,084 --> 00:29:33,653
Brec Bassinger: we had a little bit more time I'd be able
858
00:29:33,693 --> 00:29:33,874
Brec Bassinger: to.
859
00:29:34,637 --> 00:29:36,324
Brec Bassinger: But, that being said, I've been so
860
00:29:36,384 --> 00:29:38,331
Brec Bassinger: fortunate to get to do quite a bit of it,
861
00:29:39,895 --> 00:29:41,660
Brec Bassinger: although my stunt double, christina basket
862
00:29:41,900 --> 00:29:42,522
Brec Bassinger: she was the stunt.
863
00:29:42,562 --> 00:29:45,100
Brec Bassinger: I always tell people this because it's cool.
864
00:29:45,964 --> 00:29:47,891
Brec Bassinger: She was the stunt double for Aria on Game
865
00:29:47,911 --> 00:29:52,260
Brec Bassinger: of Thrones and she is just kick butt
866
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,221
Brec Bassinger: coolest chick.
867
00:29:53,302 --> 00:29:56,575
Brec Bassinger: I she's the other part of Stargirl and I
868
00:29:56,615 --> 00:29:58,981
Brec Bassinger: never get upset when she she gets to do the
869
00:29:59,021 --> 00:30:00,773
Brec Bassinger: stunt because she always makes me look so
870
00:30:00,813 --> 00:30:01,133
Brec Bassinger: cool.
871
00:30:01,234 --> 00:30:03,138
Brec Bassinger: So either way, I'm happy.
872
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,171
Marc Preston: It kind of shift gears a little bit.
873
00:30:05,231 --> 00:30:08,760
Marc Preston: You did some philanthropic work with the
874
00:30:08,780 --> 00:30:10,312
Marc Preston: Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
875
00:30:10,332 --> 00:30:11,274
Marc Preston: Are you still doing that?
876
00:30:11,735 --> 00:30:14,342
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, so I was diagnosed with type 1
877
00:30:14,370 --> 00:30:17,597
Brec Bassinger: diabetes when I was 8, so coming up to 15
878
00:30:17,657 --> 00:30:19,641
Brec Bassinger: years in January, which is crazy.
879
00:30:20,523 --> 00:30:22,495
Brec Bassinger: But obviously because of that it's very
880
00:30:22,555 --> 00:30:23,578
Brec Bassinger: near and dear to my heart.
881
00:30:23,738 --> 00:30:26,815
Brec Bassinger: So I'm a national ambassador with JDRF.
882
00:30:26,915 --> 00:30:29,081
Brec Bassinger: I've I've gone to Children's Congress with
883
00:30:29,121 --> 00:30:33,900
Brec Bassinger: them and lots, lots of fun stuff, but big
884
00:30:33,961 --> 00:30:34,745
Brec Bassinger: advocate for that.
885
00:30:34,846 --> 00:30:36,052
Marc Preston: Well, it's got to be a very cool thing to
886
00:30:36,072 --> 00:30:37,479
Marc Preston: be able to use what you're doing now to
887
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,473
Marc Preston: actually kind of kind of help something
888
00:30:40,513 --> 00:30:42,378
Marc Preston: you're experiencing and be able to help
889
00:30:42,438 --> 00:30:42,839
Marc Preston: other kids.
890
00:30:43,140 --> 00:30:45,336
Marc Preston: You see travel somewhat regularly to do
891
00:30:45,376 --> 00:30:45,556
Marc Preston: that.
892
00:30:46,078 --> 00:30:48,708
Brec Bassinger: I used to, but obviously with when the
893
00:30:48,728 --> 00:30:51,881
Brec Bassinger: pandemic, it definitely my travel work with
894
00:30:51,901 --> 00:30:53,990
Brec Bassinger: them slowed down a whole lot, specifically
895
00:30:54,050 --> 00:30:55,798
Brec Bassinger: because most diabetics are immune,
896
00:30:55,818 --> 00:30:58,911
Brec Bassinger: compromised, so doesn't really make sense
897
00:30:58,972 --> 00:31:01,159
Brec Bassinger: for us to be traveling unless it's as safe
898
00:31:01,199 --> 00:31:01,802
Brec Bassinger: as possible.
899
00:31:03,367 --> 00:31:05,417
Brec Bassinger: But no, I actually I haven't even gone to a
900
00:31:05,457 --> 00:31:06,784
Brec Bassinger: JDRF walk in a minute.
901
00:31:06,804 --> 00:31:08,291
Brec Bassinger: I used to do that, a few of those every
902
00:31:08,351 --> 00:31:11,482
Brec Bassinger: year, but they obviously shut down and I
903
00:31:11,583 --> 00:31:14,191
Brec Bassinger: think I'm hoping 2023 they're back up and
904
00:31:14,211 --> 00:31:14,572
Brec Bassinger: going.
905
00:31:15,134 --> 00:31:18,602
Marc Preston: It's funny I was talking with oh gosh, who
906
00:31:18,622 --> 00:31:19,733
Marc Preston: wasn't speaking with you the other day.
907
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:22,485
Marc Preston: I clearly haven't had enough coffee today.
908
00:31:23,108 --> 00:31:23,570
Brec Bassinger: Yeah, me too.
909
00:31:23,590 --> 00:31:25,198
Brec Bassinger: I'm like over here, like yawning, and I
910
00:31:25,238 --> 00:31:27,328
Brec Bassinger: feel so rude, but it really is just the.
911
00:31:27,550 --> 00:31:28,533
Brec Bassinger: It's also the time of day.
912
00:31:28,573 --> 00:31:29,436
Brec Bassinger: This is like nap time.
913
00:31:29,637 --> 00:31:31,858
Marc Preston: Well, I mean I was talking to Shay Wiggum I
914
00:31:31,878 --> 00:31:32,985
Marc Preston: was speaking with the other day and he's
915
00:31:33,005 --> 00:31:34,093
Marc Preston: like, excuse me, I have to hang on one
916
00:31:34,113 --> 00:31:34,274
Marc Preston: second.
917
00:31:34,294 --> 00:31:35,463
Marc Preston: He had to run his front door and get his
918
00:31:35,524 --> 00:31:37,855
Marc Preston: nose swabbed and it's just the whole nose
919
00:31:37,875 --> 00:31:41,147
Marc Preston: swab thing with with working on sets that
920
00:31:41,287 --> 00:31:41,809
Marc Preston: it's like.
921
00:31:41,990 --> 00:31:43,676
Marc Preston: This movie on Netflix is funny.
922
00:31:44,218 --> 00:31:45,101
Marc Preston: The the bubble.
923
00:31:45,603 --> 00:31:46,205
Brec Bassinger: Oh yeah.
924
00:31:46,406 --> 00:31:46,807
Marc Preston: That was.
925
00:31:47,068 --> 00:31:49,395
Marc Preston: It was hilarious because it seems to be a
926
00:31:49,596 --> 00:31:50,880
Marc Preston: big part of your life over the last.
927
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:52,714
Marc Preston: If you want to film, you're constantly
928
00:31:52,754 --> 00:31:53,336
Marc Preston: being tested.
929
00:31:53,817 --> 00:31:55,261
Marc Preston: Was that just a real pain in the butt or
930
00:31:55,330 --> 00:31:57,258
Marc Preston: you just kind of like whatever you know?
931
00:31:57,921 --> 00:32:00,411
Brec Bassinger: It took an adjusting period to get used to
932
00:32:00,531 --> 00:32:03,399
Brec Bassinger: it and first season or the first season
933
00:32:03,439 --> 00:32:04,662
Brec Bassinger: back, which was our second season.
934
00:32:05,231 --> 00:32:10,119
Brec Bassinger: We started September of 2020 and it was
935
00:32:10,260 --> 00:32:11,224
Brec Bassinger: really intense.
936
00:32:11,335 --> 00:32:13,803
Brec Bassinger: I mean, there was, we had to stay six feet
937
00:32:13,903 --> 00:32:15,719
Brec Bassinger: from everyone unless we were filming a
938
00:32:15,819 --> 00:32:17,900
Brec Bassinger: scene which you don't realize, but that's
939
00:32:17,940 --> 00:32:19,599
Brec Bassinger: extremely hard when there's 200 crew
940
00:32:19,619 --> 00:32:20,021
Brec Bassinger: members.
941
00:32:22,015 --> 00:32:24,344
Brec Bassinger: And then I've probably been no swabbed
942
00:32:24,435 --> 00:32:28,297
Brec Bassinger: north of 250 times at this point, but it
943
00:32:28,337 --> 00:32:30,805
Brec Bassinger: definitely just took some getting used to,
944
00:32:30,915 --> 00:32:32,252
Brec Bassinger: but then it just became an everyday
945
00:32:32,272 --> 00:32:32,454
Brec Bassinger: practice.
946
00:32:32,555 --> 00:32:33,841
Marc Preston: Yeah, because I noticed like whenever I go
947
00:32:33,955 --> 00:32:36,376
Marc Preston: when I'd go from a trailer to a set you've
948
00:32:36,396 --> 00:32:38,744
Marc Preston: got to walk through crowds of PAs and stuff.
949
00:32:38,815 --> 00:32:40,737
Marc Preston: So that's almost got to be like Moses
950
00:32:40,797 --> 00:32:42,097
Marc Preston: opening up the Red Sea and people just
951
00:32:42,117 --> 00:32:42,840
Marc Preston: moving out of the way.
952
00:32:42,915 --> 00:32:44,862
Marc Preston: Is that there's so many logistics, you know?
953
00:32:45,815 --> 00:32:48,464
Brec Bassinger: And then we had COVID patrol officers.
954
00:32:49,037 --> 00:32:51,144
Brec Bassinger: The second season we probably had about 25
955
00:32:51,184 --> 00:32:53,061
Brec Bassinger: people in these COVID vests walking around
956
00:32:53,121 --> 00:32:55,280
Brec Bassinger: our set like yelling at people if they were
957
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:57,037
Brec Bassinger: too close to each other or if they had
958
00:32:57,077 --> 00:32:59,058
Brec Bassinger: their masks down or their mask wasn't
959
00:32:59,078 --> 00:33:00,102
Brec Bassinger: covering their nose.
960
00:33:01,535 --> 00:33:03,683
Brec Bassinger: But then third season it was a little bit
961
00:33:03,743 --> 00:33:05,440
Brec Bassinger: lighter and also we were like used to it
962
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,059
Brec Bassinger: from second season, so maybe it just felt
963
00:33:07,099 --> 00:33:07,380
Brec Bassinger: lighter.
964
00:33:07,775 --> 00:33:09,241
Marc Preston: Now real quick, what's the movie you're
965
00:33:09,261 --> 00:33:10,660
Marc Preston: saying You're with Sean Aston.
966
00:33:10,700 --> 00:33:11,383
Marc Preston: What's the name of it?
967
00:33:11,575 --> 00:33:12,178
Brec Bassinger: Man in the White.
968
00:33:12,218 --> 00:33:13,282
Marc Preston: Van man in the White Van.
969
00:33:13,616 --> 00:33:14,901
Marc Preston: Do y'all have a release date on that?
970
00:33:15,475 --> 00:33:17,716
Brec Bassinger: I don't think there's a release date, not
971
00:33:17,736 --> 00:33:18,379
Brec Bassinger: that I know of.
972
00:33:19,397 --> 00:33:22,184
Marc Preston: Sean, he just seems like just the nicest of
973
00:33:22,204 --> 00:33:22,705
Marc Preston: guys.
974
00:33:23,775 --> 00:33:25,402
Brec Bassinger: He is like truly.
975
00:33:25,695 --> 00:33:27,342
Marc Preston: You know what, actually what I love to do
976
00:33:27,382 --> 00:33:28,638
Marc Preston: towards you know the interview.
977
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,999
Marc Preston: Just chatting I got something I call my
