Brec Bassinger | Lone Star Girl

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!

00:01:58,521 --> 00:02:01,869


Brec Bassinger: I went to school in Saginaw up until my

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.

00:02:07,663 --> 00:02:10,514


Brec Bassinger: And then freshman year I booked Bell and

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Marc Preston: No, I think he has in one office in Saginaw,



282

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

806


00:27:41,410 --> 00:27:41,932

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.
