,161 --> 00:04:21,090
Fabiana Udenio: Argentina to join his father, who had a
123
,492 --> 00:04:23,980

125
,942 --> 00:04:27,348

126
,409 --> 00:04:30,464
Fabiana Udenio: who was one year old, and they stayed there
127

Fabiana Udenio: for 15 years.
128
,687 --> 00:04:33,451

129
,491 --> 00:04:37,607
Fabiana Udenio: was six or seven or depending on whether I
130
,050 --> 00:04:42,303
Fabiana Udenio: Yes And then they went back to Italy And so
131
,383 --> 00:04:44,990
Fabiana Udenio: my upbringing was in Italy, my schooling
132
,110 --> 00:04:47,504

Fabiana Udenio: But you know, in Argentina the economic,
139
,663 --> 00:05:05,434
Fabiana Udenio: political system goes up and down, so I
140
,474 --> 00:05:06,980
Fabiana Udenio: think there was a crash, political,
141
,964 --> 00:05:10,373
Fabiana Udenio: everything And so my mother I think it was
142
,434 --> 00:05:13,343

,363 --> 00:05:15,688

206
,054 --> 00:07:27,087
Fabiana Udenio: played this character regular on the soap
207
,127 --> 00:07:28,149
Fabiana Udenio: opera One Life to Live.
208
,770 --> 00:07:31,621

210
,490 --> 00:07:37,321
Fabiana Udenio: didn't know whether that was going to be

Marc Preston: After that movie, and I think after you
221
,341 --> 00:08:01,525
Marc Preston: were in it, i think there's probably
222
,565 --> 00:08:02,709
Marc Preston: thousands of young men that were
223
,000 --> 00:08:04,886

Marc Preston: So Coming from Rome and doing that movie
226
,965 --> 00:08:13,222
Marc Preston: and just walking around LA, what was it

Marc Preston: recognized at that point?
233
,180 --> 00:08:21,746
Fabiana Udenio: Actually, when I was doing the soap opera
234
,766 --> 00:08:24,507
Fabiana Udenio: in New York, that was interesting because
235
,527 --> 00:08:26,200
Fabiana Udenio: the soap operas had kind of a following.
236
,320 --> 00:08:29,033

Fabiana Udenio: and just see the Paramount sign and going
243
,402 --> 00:08:47,189
Fabiana Udenio: into the Paramount Studios.

Fabiana Udenio: So that was a kick.
245
,726 --> 00:08:58,697

246
,737 --> 00:08:59,980

255
,200 --> 00:09:18,326
Fabiana Udenio: I don't know, since I was seven years,
256
,446 --> 00:09:20,412
Fabiana Udenio: eight, nine, i wanted to be an actress.
257
,861 --> 00:09:23,349
Fabiana Udenio: I was my sister, who's older than me, tells
258
,389 --> 00:09:27,206
Fabiana Udenio: me that I was imitating commercials all the
259
,246 --> 00:09:29,408
Fabiana Udenio: time And I just you know, i don't know.
260
,901 --> 00:09:31,968
Fabiana Udenio: And then I was 11 or 12.
261
,121 --> 00:09:33,840
Fabiana Udenio: I wanted to do acting classes.
262
,940 --> 00:09:36,129
Fabiana Udenio: I did a little theater in the neighborhood
263
,740 --> 00:09:41,150
Fabiana Udenio: And then I won Miss Teen Italy when I was
264
,791 --> 00:09:42,793
Fabiana Udenio: 12 and a half.
265
,961 --> 00:09:45,197
Fabiana Udenio: That's Italian for you, really Well that
266
,217 --> 00:09:45,984
Fabiana Udenio: wasn't even That's.
267
,024 --> 00:09:47,902
Fabiana Udenio: That's that's not quite legal, but you know.
268
,922 --> 00:09:50,050
Fabiana Udenio: So they wanted to take the title away from
269
,131 --> 00:09:52,299
Fabiana Udenio: me because I don't know if it's right or
270
,339 --> 00:09:52,500
Fabiana Udenio: wrong.
271
,620 --> 00:09:53,944
Fabiana Udenio: I don't know legally what it would be,
272
,987 --> 00:09:57,601
Fabiana Udenio: because I'm born in December And I think
273
,662 --> 00:10:01,411
Fabiana Udenio: the title, the competition, was before my
274
,471 --> 00:10:01,952
Fabiana Udenio: birthday.
275
,400 --> 00:10:05,009
Fabiana Udenio: So I wasn't quite a teenager technically,
276
,380 --> 00:10:08,154
Fabiana Udenio: but I kept the title because you know
277
,347 --> 00:10:08,567
Fabiana Udenio: there's.
278
,647 --> 00:10:11,393
Marc Preston: But still in Italy, being that young and
279
,493 --> 00:10:14,526
Marc Preston: having, was it really big, was it?
280
,821 --> 00:10:16,326
Marc Preston: Obviously it's a big competition, but it
281
,366 --> 00:10:18,063
Marc Preston: wasn't something that gave you an aspect of
282
,124 --> 00:10:20,116
Marc Preston: notoriety to people say, oh, this girl,
283
,156 --> 00:10:23,008
Marc Preston: fabiana, you know she's only 12 or 13, but
284
,048 --> 00:10:26,063
Marc Preston: she was in a big deal, or Yeah, it was, it
285
,103 --> 00:10:27,087
Marc Preston: was, it was a big deal.
286
,400 --> 00:10:31,732
Fabiana Udenio: It was sort of like in a pageant kind of a
287
,812 --> 00:10:34,680
Fabiana Udenio: way, without any sort of way, you know,
288
,780 --> 00:10:36,652
Fabiana Udenio: like a pet, like you know there is still a
289
,753 --> 00:10:38,121
Fabiana Udenio: talent competition, but it's still like
290
,161 --> 00:10:38,684
Fabiana Udenio: it's a pageant.
291
,321 --> 00:10:41,592
Fabiana Udenio: But what happened to me right after I got
292
,632 --> 00:10:43,662
Fabiana Udenio: cast in the Tempest to play Mirana, that
293
,702 --> 00:10:44,505
Fabiana Udenio: was a big deal.
294
,160 --> 00:10:47,746
Fabiana Udenio: The theater director, george Ostrich, he's
295
,786 --> 00:10:51,382
Fabiana Udenio: like he was an icon of the theater all over
296
,503 --> 00:10:54,727
Fabiana Udenio: Europe And so to be cast so young in that
297
,309 --> 00:11:00,390
Fabiana Udenio: sort of gave me three, 16, away, a prestige
298
,052 --> 00:11:03,763
Fabiana Udenio: and weighed as an actor And for a while
299
,824 --> 00:11:05,088
Fabiana Udenio: that's all I wanted to do.
300
,160 --> 00:11:07,563
Marc Preston: I wanted to do theater, i wanted to was it
301
,623 --> 00:11:09,308
Marc Preston: intimidating for you at all being that
302
,369 --> 00:11:11,184
Marc Preston: young and then jumping into this, this
303
,224 --> 00:11:12,568
Marc Preston: thing and getting that kind of recognition?
304
,668 --> 00:11:13,190
Fabiana Udenio: It was.
305
,581 --> 00:11:19,129
Fabiana Udenio: I was completely in love with theater and I
306
,190 --> 00:11:22,706
Fabiana Udenio: was so passionate And it was, yes, that's
307
,746 --> 00:11:22,847
Fabiana Udenio: all.

Fabiana Udenio: I wanted to be Juliet.
309
,110 --> 00:11:26,565
Fabiana Udenio: After that It was intimidating, but I was.
310
,686 --> 00:11:27,809
Fabiana Udenio: I worked so hard.

,900 --> 00:11:30,245
Fabiana Udenio: He gave me a lot of confidence.
312
,843 --> 00:11:34,304
Fabiana Udenio: He's he's a maestro of that, but he did
313
,685 --> 00:11:35,007
Fabiana Udenio: like me.
314
,100 --> 00:11:38,147
Fabiana Udenio: He did like the fact that I was so raw and
315
,227 --> 00:11:41,821
Fabiana Udenio: young and Miranda much like Juliet, juliet,
316
,002 --> 00:11:44,589
Fabiana Udenio: juliet and Miranda they are she is very
317
,690 --> 00:11:48,146

Fabiana Udenio: he was able to to to use of the young.
319
,940 --> 00:11:55,507

320
,627 --> 00:11:58,121
Fabiana Udenio: bringing to the stage, to the table, just
321
,482 --> 00:12:00,849

Fabiana Udenio: completely embraced it, but it wasn't.
390
,199 --> 00:14:16,007

Fabiana Udenio: was my passion.
392
,522 --> 00:14:21,810

Fabiana Udenio: from her, it really came from me.
394
,340 --> 00:14:25,024

Fabiana Udenio: and my sister liked writing And so I used
396
,222 --> 00:14:30,483
Fabiana Udenio: to.
397
,784 --> 00:14:35,596
Fabiana Udenio: When I was invited in Italy to TV shows and
398
,637 --> 00:14:38,961
Fabiana Udenio: talk shows I used to recite her poems And
399
,361 --> 00:14:40,163
Fabiana Udenio: so that was.
400
,684 --> 00:14:41,846
Fabiana Udenio: She stopped doing that, but she was a
401
,927 --> 00:14:44,331
Fabiana Udenio: really, really talented writer.
402
,432 --> 00:14:47,981
Fabiana Udenio: For her She did road poems and things, but
403
,042 --> 00:14:49,325
Fabiana Udenio: so my mom didn't embrace it and they'd
404
,345 --> 00:14:50,689
Fabiana Udenio: support me, but it didn't come from her.
405
,180 --> 00:14:53,825
Fabiana Udenio: She didn't push me, not even for the teen
406
,926 --> 00:14:54,167
Fabiana Udenio: thing.
407
,343 --> 00:14:57,249
Fabiana Udenio: It was my wanting to do it.
408
,882 --> 00:14:59,307
Marc Preston: Well, where did your interest come from,
409
,347 --> 00:14:59,507
Marc Preston: though?
410
,020 --> 00:15:01,025
Marc Preston: What was the genesis of that?
411
,705 --> 00:15:03,040
Marc Preston: Were you a precocious child?
412
,141 --> 00:15:04,897
Marc Preston: I mean, were you or were you shy when you
413
,917 --> 00:15:05,220
Marc Preston: were growing up?
414
,240 --> 00:15:07,968
Fabiana Udenio: I think I was full of energy, not shy, when
415
,008 --> 00:15:08,911
Fabiana Udenio: I was growing up.
416
,960 --> 00:15:11,167
Fabiana Udenio: I think I became a little bit more shy
417
,247 --> 00:15:15,225
Fabiana Udenio: later And I think maybe acting or
418
,646 --> 00:15:19,693
Fabiana Udenio: performing it's always been my therapy and
419
,753 --> 00:15:20,274
Fabiana Udenio: escape.
420
,740 --> 00:15:24,125
Fabiana Udenio: Every time I was nothing mattered and it
421
,185 --> 00:15:29,452
Fabiana Udenio: was catapulting me in a state of happiness
422
,533 --> 00:15:30,254
Fabiana Udenio: and escape.
423
,274 --> 00:15:31,375
Fabiana Udenio: It was like the great escape.
424
,680 --> 00:15:34,921
Fabiana Udenio: I never did any call, it's just them, and I
425
,961 --> 00:15:37,048
Fabiana Udenio: think it stayed that way throughout my life.
426
,460 --> 00:15:41,131
Fabiana Udenio: It's this outlet, amazing outlet and fun,
427
,552 --> 00:15:43,980
Fabiana Udenio: addictive escape.
428
,104 --> 00:15:45,627
Fabiana Udenio: That's like it.
429
,880 --> 00:15:48,322
Marc Preston: Well, that's the thing I coach a lot of
430
,984 --> 00:15:49,345
Marc Preston: some students.
431
,385 --> 00:15:52,180
Marc Preston: Even an actor is in LA on a voiceover And I
432
,220 --> 00:15:53,504
Marc Preston: always say, when you shut the door on that
433
,564 --> 00:15:55,911
Marc Preston: sound booth, the whole world stays outside
434
,080 --> 00:15:57,244
Marc Preston: And it's just like when you're on camera.
435
,264 --> 00:15:59,822
Marc Preston: You can disappear for a moment And to me
436
,863 --> 00:16:00,485
Marc Preston: it's cathartic.
437
,980 --> 00:16:03,683
Marc Preston: You can kind of disappear and use your
438
,703 --> 00:16:05,226
Marc Preston: imagination to be more kid-like.
439
,446 --> 00:16:07,250
Fabiana Udenio: Absolutely True.
440
,671 --> 00:16:09,514
Fabiana Udenio: True, and I love voiceover too.
441
,760 --> 00:16:11,345
Marc Preston: Oh, I noticed you did do some of that
442
,365 --> 00:16:11,706
Marc Preston: yourself.
443
,727 --> 00:16:11,827
Marc Preston: I did.
444
,820 --> 00:16:14,065
Fabiana Udenio: I did a lot of it individually, but here
445
,125 --> 00:16:17,025
Fabiana Udenio: too, and when you do voiceover, it's even
446
,366 --> 00:16:19,211
Fabiana Udenio: more because you don't have to even, not
447
,271 --> 00:16:20,543
Fabiana Udenio: even more or less, but you don't have to
448
,583 --> 00:16:21,968
Fabiana Udenio: worry about your look.
449
,140 --> 00:16:23,940
Fabiana Udenio: It's just sometimes very liberating.
450
,241 --> 00:16:25,406
Fabiana Udenio: You know you go with it whatever.
451
,180 --> 00:16:26,942
Fabiana Udenio: So it's a different.
452
,122 --> 00:16:30,592
Fabiana Udenio: but I love all sides of the craft.
453
,740 --> 00:16:31,243
Fabiana Udenio: I really do.
454
,740 --> 00:16:33,084
Marc Preston: Did your sister follow you into
455
Careers in Travel
,685 --> 00:16:35,109
Marc Preston: entertainment at all, or did she go a
456
,129 --> 00:16:35,691
Marc Preston: different path?
457
,522 --> 00:16:37,566
Fabiana Udenio: No, she went a different path.
458
,260 --> 00:16:40,868
Fabiana Udenio: She liked traveling, so she was a flight
459
,888 --> 00:16:44,086
Fabiana Udenio: attendant And she traveled a lot more than
460
,146 --> 00:16:44,407
Fabiana Udenio: I did.
461
,760 --> 00:16:47,305
Marc Preston: You know, my daughter, my 17-year-old,
462
,445 --> 00:16:48,207
Marc Preston: really wants to.
463
,268 --> 00:16:48,950
Marc Preston: She has this whole plan.
464
,741 --> 00:16:51,386
Marc Preston: She did both her junior and senior year
465
,426 --> 00:16:53,883
Marc Preston: together, just wrapped them up And she's
466
,904 --> 00:16:55,965
Marc Preston: very smart And she said she wants to travel.
467
,180 --> 00:16:58,265
Marc Preston: So she wants to do travel as a flight
468
,305 --> 00:16:59,528
Marc Preston: attendant early.
469
,568 --> 00:17:01,272
Marc Preston: She's smart, she's all doing my early 20s
470
,620 --> 00:17:03,125
Marc Preston: And if I decide it's not for me, then I got
471
,145 --> 00:17:03,607
Marc Preston: the degree.
472
,647 --> 00:17:05,202
Marc Preston: I can go do something else, but if I like
473
,222 --> 00:17:06,206
Marc Preston: it, i'm just going to keep doing it.
474
,246 --> 00:17:07,089
Marc Preston: I'll have seniority.
475
,944 --> 00:17:10,909
Marc Preston: But I grew up in Dallas, where you have
476
,949 --> 00:17:12,942
Marc Preston: American Airlines based there, and I met
477
,022 --> 00:17:14,441
Marc Preston: all kinds of flight attendants And I always
478
,582 --> 00:17:15,566
Marc Preston: envied their lifestyle.
479
,660 --> 00:17:17,326
Marc Preston: They could just go jump on a plane and go
480
,386 --> 00:17:18,369
Marc Preston: somewhere if they wanted to.
481
,600 --> 00:17:19,585
Fabiana Udenio: My sister did love it.
482
,123 --> 00:17:21,677
Fabiana Udenio: She was based in Italy, She was working for
483
,717 --> 00:17:25,487
Fabiana Udenio: Italy And then at Italy like many things in
484
,547 --> 00:17:27,691
Fabiana Udenio: Italy went sort of bankrupt.
485
,752 --> 00:17:30,064
Fabiana Udenio: So they downsized And she went into
486
,084 --> 00:17:32,441
Fabiana Udenio: retirement from her job a little early And
487
,461 --> 00:17:33,786
Fabiana Udenio: she missed it for a long time.
488
,360 --> 00:17:35,744
Fabiana Udenio: I missed it too, because I used to get all
489
,785 --> 00:17:39,094
Fabiana Udenio: these tickets, free tickets and all these
490
,114 --> 00:17:39,475
Fabiana Udenio: perks.
491
,547 --> 00:17:44,990
Marc Preston: The family tickets that they get.
492
,030 --> 00:17:46,713
Fabiana Udenio: Yes, i missed it too.
493
,520 --> 00:17:49,781
Fabiana Udenio: I was very spoiled for a while living here
494
,841 --> 00:17:52,883
Fabiana Udenio: and going there just for an objection or to
495
,203 --> 00:17:53,543
Fabiana Udenio: whatever.
496
,191 --> 00:18:02,815
Marc Preston: Now when you came here you were doing the
497
,855 --> 00:18:04,338
Marc Preston: thing a lot of American actors do.
498
,726 --> 00:18:06,732
Marc Preston: They have their the kickoff of their career
499
,852 --> 00:18:09,289
Marc Preston: on soap operas, and I remember my
500
,349 --> 00:18:11,415
Marc Preston: grandmother when I was always over at their
501
,455 --> 00:18:13,909
Marc Preston: house at least once a week, stay over, and
502
,929 --> 00:18:16,655
Marc Preston: then she was watching General Hospital and
503
,715 --> 00:18:18,560
Marc Preston: I think one life till they're That's the
504
,141 --> 00:18:20,808
Marc Preston: one I did And yeah, and so it's like I
505
,848 --> 00:18:22,866
Marc Preston: became very aware of the character, i mean
506
,946 --> 00:18:25,072
Marc Preston: more than probably a eight, nine, 10 year
507
,092 --> 00:18:25,733
Marc Preston: old kid should.
508
,834 --> 00:18:27,828
Marc Preston: But I think that a lot of kids grew up like
509
,869 --> 00:18:28,431
Marc Preston: that, you know.
510
,945 --> 00:18:30,592
Marc Preston: But a lot of those actors then and I've
511
,632 --> 00:18:33,022
Marc Preston: interviewed a number of them that you are
512
,343 --> 00:18:34,869
Marc Preston: doing really well now that had their start
513
,551 --> 00:18:37,829
Marc Preston: in soap opera, and the funny thing about
514
,849 --> 00:18:39,795
Marc Preston: that is how fast you have to learn the
515
,855 --> 00:18:40,256
Marc Preston: scripts.
516
,445 --> 00:18:42,010
Marc Preston: I mean, were there any challenges?
517
,070 --> 00:18:43,574
Marc Preston: when you went from doing stage to doing
518
,615 --> 00:18:44,116
Marc Preston: soap opera?
519
,185 --> 00:18:45,969
Marc Preston: You had got a new script frequently and you
520
,990 --> 00:18:46,992
Marc Preston: have to learn it pretty quick.
521
,032 --> 00:18:47,734
Marc Preston: Was that a challenge?
522
,754 --> 00:18:48,757
Fabiana Udenio: for you, absolutely.
523
,265 --> 00:18:51,172
Fabiana Udenio: And then the language, because they cast me
524
,232 --> 00:18:51,614
Fabiana Udenio: in Italy.
525
,847 --> 00:18:55,692
Fabiana Udenio: They were on location and I was supposed
526
,712 --> 00:18:58,897
Fabiana Udenio: tothis character was supposed to be working
527
,977 --> 00:19:03,012
Fabiana Udenio: fora couple of weeks and then they liked it
528
,133 --> 00:19:04,557
Fabiana Udenio: and they offered me the contract.
529
,625 --> 00:19:07,975
Fabiana Udenio: So I went well, go to New York and love the
530
,995 --> 00:19:08,115
Fabiana Udenio: idea.
531
,425 --> 00:19:11,111
Fabiana Udenio: But the work was hard because, yes, you do
532
,191 --> 00:19:14,217
Fabiana Udenio: have to learn all of that fast and it was
533
,257 --> 00:19:14,938
Fabiana Udenio: another language.
534
,225 --> 00:19:16,813
Fabiana Udenio: So usually when you're in command of the
535
,853 --> 00:19:18,502
Fabiana Udenio: language, if you forget a line, you kind of
536
,542 --> 00:19:22,089
Fabiana Udenio: like work around with it, but if I forgot
537
,129 --> 00:19:25,005
Fabiana Udenio: the line I couldn't replace it with Well,
538
,025 --> 00:19:26,610
Fabiana Udenio: you could improv in Italian and kind of
539
,630 --> 00:19:27,833
Fabiana Udenio: give it a little something extra.
540
,853 --> 00:19:29,847
Fabiana Udenio: Yeah, I could, but it was a little bit more
541
,867 --> 00:19:32,975
Fabiana Udenio: challenging because you don't have a word
542
,015 --> 00:19:35,189
Fabiana Udenio: that you can substitute and go on with the
543
,229 --> 00:19:37,035
Fabiana Udenio: line or work around.
544
,290 --> 00:19:42,870
Fabiana Udenio: So it was, and it taught me it was great
545
,735 --> 00:19:49,220
Fabiana Udenio: practice for improving the language English.
546
,785 --> 00:19:51,349
Marc Preston: Now, summer school had to come and that was
547
,429 --> 00:19:54,877
Marc Preston: 87, I think was that roughly 87, 86, 87.
548
,345 --> 00:19:56,490
Marc Preston: What was filming that like?
549
,706 --> 00:19:58,715
Marc Preston: Because me, as a Gen X kid I think anybody
550
,795 --> 00:20:00,925
Marc Preston: listening to this who is of a similar age
551
,045 --> 00:20:02,791
Marc Preston: to me is thinking like if I don't ask, I'm
552
,811 --> 00:20:03,514
Marc Preston: going to get in trouble.
553
,945 --> 00:20:07,612
Marc Preston: What was it like shooting that film that I
554
,632 --> 00:20:08,735
Marc Preston: guess y'all shot during the summer?
555
,895 --> 00:20:09,416
Fabiana Udenio: Absolutely.
556
,677 --> 00:20:10,398
Fabiana Udenio: Was it the summer?
557
,965 --> 00:20:13,911
Fabiana Udenio: It wasn't that warm, but I can't remember
558
,573 --> 00:20:17,078
Fabiana Udenio: what time of the year, maybe late summer,
559
,098 --> 00:20:19,497
Fabiana Udenio: or because it wasn't really hot.
560
,538 --> 00:20:20,484
Fabiana Udenio: I remember being on the beach.
561
,545 --> 00:20:21,829
Marc Preston: Well, then again in Southern California it
562
,849 --> 00:20:22,932
Marc Preston: always looks like summer, right.
563
,945 --> 00:20:25,109
Fabiana Udenio: So, but I remember what it was called and I
564
,149 --> 00:20:27,990
Fabiana Udenio: remember I was cold, so but it could happen
565
,010 --> 00:20:28,773
Fabiana Udenio: that it was a cold day.
566
,845 --> 00:20:31,730
Fabiana Udenio: I just remember being cold, but it was
567
,790 --> 00:20:32,031
Fabiana Udenio: great.
568
,586 --> 00:20:35,654
Fabiana Udenio: Carl Reiner was like a father figure for
569
,874 --> 00:20:36,556
Fabiana Udenio: all of us.
570
,567 --> 00:20:40,748
Marc Preston: Oh, that's right, You only had a very small
571
,848 --> 00:20:42,533
Marc Preston: role at the very beginning, but he directed
572
,553 --> 00:20:42,713
Marc Preston: that.
573
,773 --> 00:20:43,756
Marc Preston: Totally forgot about that.
574
,065 --> 00:20:46,926
Fabiana Udenio: He directed that movie, yes, and then Frank
575
,966 --> 00:20:51,547
Fabiana Udenio: Ling from Full House wrote it And so Carl
576
,567 --> 00:20:54,913
Fabiana Udenio: Reiner directed it and it was just a very,
577
,193 --> 00:21:00,808
Fabiana Udenio: very fun set to be around And you felt
578
,848 --> 00:21:03,654
Fabiana Udenio: completely safe and he allowed us to
579
,775 --> 00:21:07,309
Fabiana Udenio: improvise And Marc Harman was a class act,
580
,349 --> 00:21:10,296
Fabiana Udenio: but all the kids they had a lot of fun.
581
,336 --> 00:21:12,588
Fabiana Udenio: The two would change And we actually just
582
,628 --> 00:21:17,659
Fabiana Udenio: had an autograph signing and they were
583
,739 --> 00:21:21,190
Fabiana Udenio: talking about how much they were having fun
584
,405 --> 00:21:22,347
Fabiana Udenio: And I was having fun too.
585
,387 --> 00:21:28,502
Fabiana Udenio: But much like my character, my command of
586
,542 --> 00:21:30,527
Fabiana Udenio: the language, especially when it's about
587
,687 --> 00:21:33,627
Fabiana Udenio: comedy wasn't 100%, so a lot of the stuff
588
,647 --> 00:21:35,754
Fabiana Udenio: that we're laughing about I didn't really
589
,814 --> 00:21:39,513
Fabiana Udenio: get, and so sometimes I was feeling left
590
,653 --> 00:21:40,957
Fabiana Udenio: out of the joke.
591
,325 --> 00:21:43,812
Marc Preston: Well, i think that probably was what was
592
,013 --> 00:21:45,666
Marc Preston: part of the humor of the film, like you
593
,686 --> 00:21:47,430
Marc Preston: weren't totally getting, especially when
594
,450 --> 00:21:49,556
Marc Preston: they were showing you the horror film.
595

Marc Preston: or when it comes to things on your resume?
615
,933 --> 00:22:32,932
Fabiana Udenio: It's so hard Sometimes you sometimes you
616
,952 --> 00:22:34,320
Fabiana Udenio: look familiar and you don't want to go
617
,380 --> 00:22:36,632
Fabiana Udenio: through your resume because you're just
618
,652 --> 00:22:38,381
Fabiana Udenio: going to start going and then maybe they
619
,421 --> 00:22:39,807

Fabiana Udenio: So the thing that for a while it was summer
622
,331 --> 00:22:50,725
Fabiana Udenio: school and then it was awesome powers, so
623
,845 --> 00:22:53,990
Fabiana Udenio: that's probably the one that.
624
,013 --> 00:23:01,220
Fabiana Udenio: And when I'm, when I'm not dressed up or no
625
,260 --> 00:23:03,349
Fabiana Udenio: makeup or anything, people kind of they
626
,369 --> 00:23:05,975
Fabiana Udenio: can't quite place it because I look so
627
,035 --> 00:23:06,376
Fabiana Udenio: different.
628
,645 --> 00:23:11,398
Fabiana Udenio: So I mean I look, yes, so so natural that

,438 --> 00:23:13,585
Fabiana Udenio: they can't quite put two and two together
630
,685 --> 00:23:14,147
Fabiana Udenio: with that.
631
,485 --> 00:23:19,514
Fabiana Udenio: And then some people more recently were
632
,574 --> 00:23:21,885
Fabiana Udenio: very, very big fans of Jane Divergent, so
633
,925 --> 00:23:27,368
Fabiana Udenio: that had a really loyal following And so
634
,408 --> 00:23:29,895
Fabiana Udenio: they were thinking of me.
635
,778 --> 00:23:32,222
Fabiana Udenio: They were thinking about that one when they
636
,262 --> 00:23:33,888

637
Acting Preferences and Experience
,405 --> 00:23:36,830
Marc Preston: Or is there a preference you've had over
638
,850 --> 00:23:37,151
Marc Preston: the years?
639
,192 --> 00:23:39,279
Marc Preston: since you have had so many years of
640
,649 --> 00:23:40,804
Marc Preston: experience, different kind of projects?
641
,945 --> 00:23:42,612
Marc Preston: Do you prefer the comedy thing or do you
642
,633 --> 00:23:45,364
Marc Preston: prefer more dramatic roles, or is it really
643
,384 --> 00:23:46,509
Marc Preston: making that much of a difference to you?
644
,005 --> 00:23:47,970
Fabiana Udenio: I prefer drama.
645
,565 --> 00:23:52,073
Fabiana Udenio: I think comedy is really hard because you
646
,153 --> 00:23:54,137
Fabiana Udenio: never know until you see with an audience
647
,157 --> 00:23:55,568
Fabiana Udenio: whether it works or not.
648
,066 --> 00:24:00,555
Fabiana Udenio: But I have a good sense of humor and I've
649
,575 --> 00:24:01,597
Fabiana Udenio: done a lot of work in comedy.
650
,625 --> 00:24:02,884
Fabiana Udenio: I've done a lot of work in sitcoms.
651
,945 --> 00:24:05,991
Fabiana Udenio: I mean I was able to survive as an actor
652
,352 --> 00:24:09,399
Fabiana Udenio: doing a lot of sitcoms comedy because it's
653
,525 --> 00:24:11,853
Fabiana Udenio: hard to find a woman at the time.
654
,565 --> 00:24:14,228
Fabiana Udenio: If you're attractive and you can do comedy,
655
,248 --> 00:24:17,875
Fabiana Udenio: you can kind of find a niche.
656
,725 --> 00:24:24,794
Fabiana Udenio: So I've abused that.
657
,886 --> 00:24:31,158
Fabiana Udenio: But my essence is more for the drama thing.
658
,746 --> 00:24:33,694
Marc Preston: Well, actually the first episode of Foo Bar,
659
,176 --> 00:24:36,505
Marc Preston: you weren't really focusing on any comedy.
660
,926 --> 00:24:38,973
Marc Preston: It was kind of you were a little serious.
661
,845 --> 00:24:42,333

662
,393 --> 00:24:45,751

Marc Preston: daughter, usually we have to kind of vary
664
,516 --> 00:24:49,329
Marc Preston: it up One episode for daddy and then
665
,369 --> 00:24:49,991
Marc Preston: something for her.
666
,085 --> 00:24:52,410
Marc Preston: While she's on her phone she's half paying
667
,430 --> 00:24:52,772
Marc Preston: attention.
668
,208 --> 00:24:55,612
Marc Preston: Do you have any kids as well?
669

674
,742 --> 00:25:08,229
Fabiana Udenio: time I did put family first.
675
,426 --> 00:25:16,736
Fabiana Udenio: I had to sort of prioritize how to do that
676
,877 --> 00:25:18,599
Fabiana Udenio: if you want to delegate parenthood or if
677
,639 --> 00:25:19,681
Fabiana Udenio: you want to do it yourself.
678
,067 --> 00:25:20,871

,830 --> 00:25:29,873
Marc Preston: looking at what's next.
685
,709 --> 00:25:36,048
Fabiana Udenio: My son is on the autism spectrum, so that's
686
,068 --> 00:25:37,671
Fabiana Udenio: why he took a little bit more involvement
687
,452 --> 00:25:43,599
Fabiana Udenio: on my side to allow him to blossom and grow.
688
,619 --> 00:25:45,067
Fabiana Udenio: Especially at the beginning, early
689
,087 --> 00:25:48,007
Fabiana Udenio: intervention is very crucial, so I decided
690
,048 --> 00:25:50,113
Fabiana Udenio: that that was going to be my priority.
691
,125 --> 00:25:54,345
Fabiana Udenio: It had its challenges and amazing rewards,
692
,248 --> 00:25:56,132

703
,956 --> 00:26:18,451

,586 --> 00:26:27,033
Fabiana Udenio: And he does like it with this whole thing
708
,233 --> 00:26:28,256
Fabiana Udenio: and Fubar and everything.
709
,365 --> 00:26:30,513

710
,533 --> 00:26:33,844
Fabiana Udenio: going to disrupt his regular schedule of
711
,864 --> 00:26:35,530
Fabiana Udenio: him going to Italy in the summer.
712
,590 --> 00:26:36,995
Fabiana Udenio: You know when after the school is that?
713
,085 --> 00:26:38,468
Fabiana Udenio: So he's mostly more self.
714
,688 --> 00:26:40,532
Fabiana Udenio: You know like, is this going to change
715
,612 --> 00:26:41,133
Fabiana Udenio: anything?
716
,194 --> 00:26:42,015
Fabiana Udenio: What is this?
717
,075 --> 00:26:43,057
Fabiana Udenio: What is the big deal?
718
,246 --> 00:26:45,629
Marc Preston: And so kids on the spectrum, don't they
719
,669 --> 00:26:48,554
Marc Preston: typically thrive and really like more of a
720
,614 --> 00:26:50,898
Marc Preston: routine, based, you know lifestyle?
721
,978 --> 00:26:54,090
Fabiana Udenio: Yes, So when I started involving him like
722
,170 --> 00:26:57,326
Fabiana Udenio: oh my God, we could do this in Nacapucco So
723
,346 --> 00:26:59,431
Fabiana Udenio: because he enjoyed being in Toronto with me
724
,532 --> 00:27:02,118
Fabiana Udenio: filming he actually and when I started
725
,285 --> 00:27:04,755
Fabiana Udenio: involving him too much on sort of the
726
,815 --> 00:27:07,083
Fabiana Udenio: roller coaster that could can be being an
727
,184 --> 00:27:11,054
Fabiana Udenio: actor and auditioning, i saw that that
728
,094 --> 00:27:11,836
Fabiana Udenio: wasn't for him.
729
,145 --> 00:27:12,406
Fabiana Udenio: He did.
730
,426 --> 00:27:13,709
Fabiana Udenio: You know, i better keep it.
731
,850 --> 00:27:16,155
Fabiana Udenio: It's hard enough for me to know maybe I'll
732
,196 --> 00:27:18,245
Fabiana Udenio: go there, maybe and maybe not.
733
,265 --> 00:27:19,429
Fabiana Udenio: Maybe I'll get this, maybe not.
734
,851 --> 00:27:22,782
Fabiana Udenio: That I could see that it was stressful for
735
,862 --> 00:27:25,049
Fabiana Udenio: him to think of me, maybe and maybe not,
736
,110 --> 00:27:27,689
Fabiana Udenio: and him being The actor's life isn't for
737

Fabiana Udenio: everybody.
738
,271 --> 00:27:31,069
Fabiana Udenio: Yes, So it's okay if I know that I'm going
739
,089 --> 00:27:32,954
Fabiana Udenio: to do something and tell him, but not if I
740
,315 --> 00:27:34,317
Fabiana Udenio: maybe will be doing this.
741
,625 --> 00:27:36,691
Fabiana Udenio: Maybe I realized that that wasn't the right
742
,972 --> 00:27:40,091
Fabiana Udenio: thing to go, and since this is such a big
743
,172 --> 00:27:43,783
Fabiana Udenio: thing happening in my life, Well, did you
744
,823 --> 00:27:44,465

752
,187 --> 00:27:59,309
Fabiana Udenio: was very so.
753
,430 --> 00:28:02,095
Fabiana Udenio: he didn't have a lot of interaction like he
754
,115 --> 00:28:03,959
Fabiana Udenio: would have wanted to hang out on the set
755
,287 --> 00:28:07,091
Fabiana Udenio: And I sort of missed that.
756
,111 --> 00:28:08,675

757
,695 --> 00:28:09,597

758
,426 --> 00:28:14,416

987
,138 --> 00:35:45,463

,514 --> 00:36:00,203
Fabiana Udenio: little bit But but it didn't really click.
994
,263 --> 00:36:01,607
Fabiana Udenio: Or I would have some great audition and
995
,748 --> 00:36:03,173
Fabiana Udenio: somebody else would get it because there
996
,193 --> 00:36:06,160
Fabiana Udenio: were this or that And so that kind of stung
997
,220 --> 00:36:08,485
Fabiana Udenio: me and here it was more predictable.
998
,505 --> 00:36:09,848
Fabiana Udenio: It was more competitive and more
999
,868 --> 00:36:10,309
Fabiana Udenio: predictable.
Speaker:1000
,335 --> 00:36:13,865
Fabiana Udenio: So I liked the business aspect and the fact
Speaker:1001
,905 --> 00:36:19,982
Fabiana Udenio: that I Was respected for What it was your
Speaker:1002
,023 --> 00:36:21,929
Fabiana Udenio: audition for things, and over there you
Speaker:1003
,989 --> 00:36:22,230
Fabiana Udenio: don't.
Speaker:1004
,450 --> 00:36:23,835
Fabiana Udenio: Oh, it did, it's different now.
Speaker:1005
,116 --> 00:36:33,359
Marc Preston: Well, Well, you see, here it's, you know
Speaker:1006
,061 --> 00:36:34,161
Marc Preston: it's.
Speaker:1007
,422 --> 00:36:35,825
Marc Preston: It's really interesting the way things have
Speaker:1008
,865 --> 00:36:38,256
Marc Preston: evolved, because when you're young You're
Speaker:1009
,296 --> 00:36:40,661
Marc Preston: teens or early 20s It was different than
Speaker:1010
,701 --> 00:36:40,962
Marc Preston: now.
Speaker:1011
,062 --> 00:36:43,908
Marc Preston: If you have two actors of equal talent but
Speaker:1012
,028 --> 00:36:47,491
Marc Preston: one has 20,000 people follow on Instagram,
Speaker:1013
,511 --> 00:36:50,279
Marc Preston: another one has About 10 million, that's
Speaker:1014
,299 --> 00:36:51,081
Marc Preston: gonna factor in.
Speaker:1015
,141 --> 00:36:52,604
Marc Preston: It's a whole different world than it used
Speaker:1016
,624 --> 00:36:54,488
Marc Preston: to be and I can't imagine having to be an
Speaker:1017
,568 --> 00:36:57,079
Marc Preston: actor and working nonstop and keeping up
Speaker:1018
,099 --> 00:36:58,685
Marc Preston: with social media and all that is.
Speaker:1019
,677 --> 00:37:05,524
Fabiana Udenio: It's so high coffee just thinking about it
Speaker:1020
,155 --> 00:37:10,657
Fabiana Udenio: Mentioning.
Speaker:1021
,460 --> 00:37:13,869
Fabiana Udenio: And then I try hard and then I see someone
Speaker:1022
,889 --> 00:37:16,557
Fabiana Udenio: else doing something so creative And I go
Speaker:1023
,597 --> 00:37:17,399
Fabiana Udenio: how do you do that?
Speaker:1024
,460 --> 00:37:18,322
Fabiana Udenio: and then I do it wrong.
Speaker:1025
,342 --> 00:37:22,477
Fabiana Udenio: I mean, it's really hard and I Enjoy it.
Speaker:1026
,578 --> 00:37:25,325
Fabiana Udenio: It is addictive and you've got to learn.
Speaker:1027
,345 --> 00:37:26,207
Fabiana Udenio: You have to be open.
Speaker:1028
,367 --> 00:37:29,320
Fabiana Udenio: But There is something sort of
Speaker:1029
,440 --> 00:37:32,086
Fabiana Udenio: contradictory to being an actor and getting
Speaker:1030
,206 --> 00:37:36,462
Fabiana Udenio: out of yourself, to having to talk about
Speaker:1031
,482 --> 00:37:37,946
Fabiana Udenio: what you have for breakfast and just
Speaker:1032
,026 --> 00:37:40,855
Fabiana Udenio: self-indulging, just everything that to me.
Speaker:1033
,359 --> 00:37:43,055
Fabiana Udenio: But I'd rather not, i'd rather you know.
Speaker:1034
,055 --> 00:37:45,384
Marc Preston: So yeah, there's that, that the mystique of
Speaker:1035
,459 --> 00:37:46,276
Marc Preston: the performer.
Speaker:1036
,351 --> 00:37:48,207
Marc Preston: That I think makes like you look at that a
Speaker:1037
,281 --> 00:37:50,721
Marc Preston: denier or Pacino or those guys They're.
Speaker:1038
,841 --> 00:37:51,523
Marc Preston: You don't see them on.
Speaker:1039
,823 --> 00:37:53,367
Marc Preston: I don't assume they're on social media a
Speaker:1040
,407 --> 00:37:56,021
Marc Preston: lot, but it's.
Speaker:1041
,121 --> 00:37:57,755
Marc Preston: It's kind of like something we want.
Speaker:1042
,795 --> 00:37:59,324
Marc Preston: I mean, we want a little bit more of the
Speaker:1043
,384 --> 00:38:01,335
Marc Preston: person than just the two hours in the film
Speaker:1044
,756 --> 00:38:03,723
Marc Preston: But at the same time we still like that
Speaker:1045
,743 --> 00:38:04,486
Marc Preston: mystique being there.
Speaker:1046
,526 --> 00:38:05,831
Fabiana Udenio: I think maybe that's part of our
Speaker:1047
,871 --> 00:38:08,378
Fabiana Udenio: personalities I'm not sure, and it's not
Speaker:1048
,438 --> 00:38:10,082
Fabiana Udenio: something that it's, it's not that much
Speaker:1049
,162 --> 00:38:10,262
Fabiana Udenio: It's.
Speaker:1050
,443 --> 00:38:12,948
Fabiana Udenio: it's more work than actually acting to have
Speaker:1051
,008 --> 00:38:16,323
Fabiana Udenio: to Think about that's actually tedious for
Speaker:1052
,363 --> 00:38:19,593
Fabiana Udenio: me to have to post and tag and repost, and
Speaker:1053
,633 --> 00:38:22,503
Fabiana Udenio: it's, it's fun And and so you're making me
Speaker:1054
,543 --> 00:38:24,189
Fabiana Udenio: feel so good right now because I have to do
Speaker:1055
,209 --> 00:38:25,494
Fabiana Udenio: that with with this show and the other
Speaker:1056
,694 --> 00:38:26,318
Fabiana Udenio: things I do.
Speaker:1057
,399 --> 00:38:26,801
Marc Preston: I have to do.
Speaker:1058
,862 --> 00:38:27,788
Marc Preston: I'm like, oh my god, I just don't want to
Speaker:1059
,808 --> 00:38:28,815
Marc Preston: do what do I say?
Speaker:1060
,075 --> 00:38:29,757
Marc Preston: I don't know I do.
Speaker:1061
,777 --> 00:38:30,760
Marc Preston: What picture do I post?
Speaker:1062
,820 --> 00:38:33,025
Marc Preston: I mean, i you know, in my dog, my 17 year
Speaker:1063
,065 --> 00:38:34,168
Marc Preston: old, with the interesting thing is she
Speaker:1064
,215 --> 00:38:35,298
Marc Preston: Doesn't want me taking her picture or
Speaker:1065
,359 --> 00:38:36,302
Marc Preston: posting it anywhere.
Speaker:1066
,382 --> 00:38:37,646
Marc Preston: She only looks, she doesn't post.
Speaker:1067
,036 --> 00:38:39,579
Marc Preston: She's the anti-teenager in that way.
Speaker:1068
,599 --> 00:38:41,784
Marc Preston: I was thinking the anti-influencer I want
Speaker:1069
,824 --> 00:38:45,218
Marc Preston: to be an anti-influencer, which would make
Speaker:1070
,278 --> 00:38:47,445
Marc Preston: you in a way, ironically, an influencer.
Speaker:1071
Audition Process for FUBAR

Fabiana Udenio: had to prepare for the audition and it was
Speaker:1085
,523 --> 00:39:23,068
Fabiana Udenio: a self tape because it's the age of COVID
Speaker:1086
,148 --> 00:39:25,439
Fabiana Udenio: and that's When it was going on.
Speaker:1087
,459 --> 00:39:28,289

Marc Preston: have to go through driving.
Speaker:1092
,066 --> 00:39:34,713
Marc Preston: And then you got to make sure that
Speaker:1093
,773 --> 00:39:36,198
Marc Preston: everything's shot Right with the lighting.
Speaker:1094
,218 --> 00:39:36,921
Marc Preston: You want to look at it?
Speaker:1095
,062 --> 00:39:37,484

Speaker:1096
,797 --> 00:39:40,363

Speaker:1097
,443 --> 00:39:41,407
Marc Preston: do prefer to be in the room?
Speaker:1098
,588 --> 00:39:42,210
Fabiana Udenio: I didn't.
Speaker:1099
,351 --> 00:39:43,315
Fabiana Udenio: I'm getting used to that too.
Speaker:1100
,455 --> 00:39:44,297
Fabiana Udenio: I didn't it.
Speaker:1101
,798 --> 00:39:47,124
Fabiana Udenio: It's like acting in a vacuum a little bit.
Speaker:1102
,204 --> 00:39:48,608
Fabiana Udenio: I, you know it's like, you don't you know
Speaker:1103
,648 --> 00:39:48,788
Fabiana Udenio: like.
Speaker:1104
,436 --> 00:39:51,300
Fabiana Udenio: But there are some good things too, you
Speaker:1105
,320 --> 00:39:51,460
Fabiana Udenio: know.
Speaker:1106
,501 --> 00:39:52,282
Fabiana Udenio: You get to see what you.
Speaker:1107
,403 --> 00:39:54,547
Fabiana Udenio: I used to obsess about what I did in the
Speaker:1108
,608 --> 00:39:54,928
Fabiana Udenio: audition.
Speaker:1109
,015 --> 00:39:55,859
Fabiana Udenio: How did I sound?
Speaker:1110
,496 --> 00:39:57,478
Fabiana Udenio: What choices did I make?
Speaker:1111
,519 --> 00:39:59,063
Fabiana Udenio: did I do what I thought I did?
Speaker:1112
,123 --> 00:40:00,446
Fabiana Udenio: and then you forget because you're in the
Speaker:1113
,486 --> 00:40:02,343
Fabiana Udenio: moment And now I know what I do.
Speaker:1114
,866 --> 00:40:06,016
Fabiana Udenio: So in a way, it's a lot easier to I liked
Speaker:1115
,096 --> 00:40:06,177
Fabiana Udenio: it.
Speaker:1116
,237 --> 00:40:07,900
Fabiana Udenio: If they didn't get it, if they didn't
Speaker:1117
,001 --> 00:40:09,484
Fabiana Udenio: choose me, you know it's their loss,
Speaker:1118
,524 --> 00:40:11,147
Fabiana Udenio: because I like what I did or I could do
Speaker:1119
,187 --> 00:40:11,668
Fabiana Udenio: better next.
Speaker:1120
,798 --> 00:40:15,005
Fabiana Udenio: So it's, it's a little bit more control,
Speaker:1121
,537 --> 00:40:21,482
Fabiana Udenio: but I miss The in-person meetings.
Speaker:1122
,582 --> 00:40:23,911
Fabiana Udenio: But so this the way football came about was
Speaker:1123
,072 --> 00:40:27,281
Fabiana Udenio: a self tape, and and they gave us, they
Speaker:1124
,301 --> 00:40:29,526
Fabiana Udenio: gave me some time to prepare, which was
Speaker:1125
,606 --> 00:40:34,219
Fabiana Udenio: nice, and I immediately liked the character
Speaker:1126
,299 --> 00:40:36,524
Fabiana Udenio: because it had a lot in common with some of
Speaker:1127
,584 --> 00:40:39,999
Fabiana Udenio: that of who I am, unlike many other
Speaker:1128
,019 --> 00:40:41,465
Fabiana Udenio: characters that I've done in the past
Speaker:1129
,495 --> 00:40:44,883
Fabiana Udenio: romantic side, her vulnerability in
Speaker:1130
,923 --> 00:40:47,780
Fabiana Udenio: strength, and The fact that she puts family
Speaker:1131
,840 --> 00:40:55,297
Fabiana Udenio: first, the fact that She, she's passionate
Speaker:1132
,517 --> 00:40:58,446
Fabiana Udenio: and unpredictable many things that I felt
Speaker:1133
,486 --> 00:41:01,621
Fabiana Udenio: like They were, that I could draw from my
Speaker:1134
,681 --> 00:41:03,226
Fabiana Udenio: own personal life, so that was nice.
Speaker:1135
,816 --> 00:41:05,181
Marc Preston: Well, like I said, i've only seen the first
Speaker:1136
,261 --> 00:41:06,766
Marc Preston: episode, but it seems like this is somebody,
Speaker:1137
,807 --> 00:41:08,372
Marc Preston: a character, who really is holding their
Speaker:1138
,492 --> 00:41:09,275
Marc Preston: own with short snagger.
Speaker:1139
,455 --> 00:41:12,463
Marc Preston: She's actually in some way has, as my
Speaker:1140
,483 --> 00:41:14,347
Marc Preston: people say, chutzpah, yeah, no she's, you
Speaker:1141
,408 --> 00:41:14,528
Marc Preston: know.
Speaker:1142
,636 --> 00:41:17,022
Marc Preston: Because the like again.
Speaker:1143
,062 --> 00:41:18,107
Marc Preston: I've only seen the first episode.
Speaker:1144
,127 --> 00:41:19,613
Marc Preston: But you're, you're divorced or you're no
Speaker:1145
,634 --> 00:41:21,178
Marc Preston: longer together, but you're still sort of
Speaker:1146
,258 --> 00:41:21,558
Marc Preston: in a right.
Speaker:1147
,579 --> 00:41:22,901
Marc Preston: You know it's kind of.
Speaker:1148
,282 --> 00:41:24,726
Marc Preston: In the first episode It's not totally clear
Speaker:1149
,766 --> 00:41:26,229
Marc Preston: on what this relationship is.
Speaker:1150
,736 --> 00:41:32,221
Fabiana Udenio: Yes, you're so Insightful by getting all of
Speaker:1151
,241 --> 00:41:33,386
Fabiana Udenio: that just from the first episode.
Speaker:1152
,747 --> 00:41:35,534
Fabiana Udenio: It is true, this is the guy that wants her
Speaker:1153
,555 --> 00:41:35,635
Fabiana Udenio: back.
Speaker:1154
,835 --> 00:41:38,522
Fabiana Udenio: So he's always coming into my home He never
Speaker:1155
,562 --> 00:41:40,527
Fabiana Udenio: knocking, you know like always there first.
Speaker:1156
,788 --> 00:41:42,492
Fabiana Udenio: And then there's still this great
Speaker:1157
,512 --> 00:41:43,555
Fabiana Udenio: connection that they had.
Speaker:1158
,655 --> 00:41:45,709
Fabiana Udenio: They share this amazing love.
Speaker:1159
,729 --> 00:41:49,140
Fabiana Udenio: They really truly Had it, but he's
Speaker:1160
,300 --> 00:41:50,603
Fabiana Udenio: disappointed her so many times.
Speaker:1161
,663 --> 00:41:52,867
Fabiana Udenio: She's detached now and say, okay, this guy
Speaker:1162
,927 --> 00:41:57,381
Fabiana Udenio: had a lovable, irresistible but unreliable,
Speaker:1163
,461 --> 00:41:58,344
Fabiana Udenio: and she's moved on.
Speaker:1164
,796 --> 00:42:06,980
Fabiana Udenio: So part of the challenge was Being that
Speaker:1165
,635 --> 00:42:10,008
Fabiana Udenio: Comfortable and around Arnold without
Speaker:1166
,069 --> 00:42:13,383
Fabiana Udenio: having met him before, because, again, he's
Speaker:1167
,403 --> 00:42:14,728
Fabiana Udenio: definitely got a presence about him.
Speaker:1168
,748 --> 00:42:16,334
Marc Preston: I remember I did a press junket for true
Speaker:1169
,354 --> 00:42:16,434
Marc Preston: lies.
Speaker:1170
,062 --> 00:42:19,288

,520 --> 00:42:33,687
Marc Preston: I'm like this guy is not bashful whatsoever,
Speaker:1179
,728 --> 00:42:35,323
Marc Preston: in the slightest But but it is a different
Speaker:1180
,343 --> 00:42:36,129
Marc Preston: character for him.
Speaker:1181
,882 --> 00:42:39,926
Marc Preston: You know, it's a, it's a different side of
Speaker:1182
,946 --> 00:42:40,006

,199 --> 00:49:18,102

,214 --> 00:49:40,661

,681 --> 00:49:40,762
Fabiana Udenio: that.
Speaker:1395
,530 --> 00:49:44,296

Speaker:1396
,356 --> 00:49:47,163
Fabiana Udenio: even if it's a part that I don't even care
Speaker:1397
,303 --> 00:49:47,664

Speaker:1414
,948 --> 00:50:25,450
Marc Preston: Does it sound accurate?
Speaker:1415
,312 --> 00:50:26,653
Marc Preston: I wonder?
Speaker:1416
,693 --> 00:50:29,300

,969 --> 00:50:37,430
Fabiana Udenio: What happens.
Speaker:1421
,211 --> 00:50:40,174
Marc Preston: Well, most people I speak with, that answer
Speaker:1422
,274 --> 00:50:42,638
Marc Preston: usually ends up being with family at the
Speaker:1423
,698 --> 00:50:44,541
Marc Preston: end of the day, or good friends with some
Speaker:1424
,581 --> 00:50:47,185
Marc Preston: kind of a meal away to finish the evening.
Speaker:1425
,857 --> 00:50:50,445
Marc Preston: It is very interesting because everybody
Speaker:1426
,485 --> 00:50:51,450
Marc Preston: views a day a little bit different.
Speaker:1427
,951 --> 00:50:54,017
Marc Preston: Some people like their meditative quiet
Speaker:1428
,057 --> 00:50:54,960
Marc Preston: time to themselves.

Speaker:1434
,972 --> 00:51:03,414
Fabiana Udenio: Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker:1435
,770 --> 00:51:06,714
Marc Preston: Now, if you weren't doing what you were
Speaker:1436
,754 --> 00:51:08,497
Marc Preston: doing now for a living, what you have been
Speaker:1437
,517 --> 00:51:10,480
Marc Preston: doing for many years, that you obviously
Speaker:1438
,580 --> 00:51:13,305
Marc Preston: love so much, what would be your vocation,
Speaker:1439
,450 --> 00:51:15,075
Marc Preston: what would be the other thing that you
Speaker:1440
,095 --> 00:51:16,519
Marc Preston: would do that would you feel would bring
Speaker:1441
,539 --> 00:51:16,920
Marc Preston: you joy?
Speaker:1442
,610 --> 00:51:20,756
Fabiana Udenio: You know, I would have loved, I would like
Speaker:1443
,796 --> 00:51:22,338
Fabiana Udenio: to be a lawyer and attorney.
Speaker:1444
,079 --> 00:51:25,243
Fabiana Udenio: Just because you'd have to, you can defend
Speaker:1445
,283 --> 00:51:25,964
Fabiana Udenio: yourself always.
Speaker:1446
,490 --> 00:51:28,216
Fabiana Udenio: I mean, if I, if something I missed, it's a
Speaker:1447
,256 --> 00:51:28,838
Fabiana Udenio: law degree.
Speaker:1448
,711 --> 00:51:31,335
Fabiana Udenio: I've always said, you know, I wish I had a
Speaker:1449
,396 --> 00:51:32,479
Fabiana Udenio: law degree for this and that.
Speaker:1450
,610 --> 00:51:36,840
Fabiana Udenio: So yes, or a teacher, but an attorney would
Speaker:1451
,860 --> 00:51:37,241
Fabiana Udenio: be good.
Speaker:1452
,490 --> 00:51:38,517
Marc Preston: You're the only one that's ever said
Speaker:1453
,557 --> 00:51:40,007
Marc Preston: attorney, but that's very, that's very
Speaker:1454
,067 --> 00:51:40,450
Marc Preston: interesting to me.
Speaker:1455
,731 --> 00:51:43,881
Marc Preston: I think that's being able to what you could
Speaker:1456
,902 --> 00:51:45,045
Marc Preston: do for other people potentially.
Speaker:1457
,065 --> 00:51:46,310
Marc Preston: I think that's a nice thing being able to
Speaker:1458
,330 --> 00:51:46,430
Marc Preston: argue.
Speaker:1459
,052 --> 00:51:48,671
Marc Preston: I think Tom Hanks said it best He wouldn't
Speaker:1460
,691 --> 00:51:49,614
Marc Preston: want to do it because it's like doing
Speaker:1461
,674 --> 00:51:51,018
Marc Preston: homework for a living, you know.
Speaker:1462
,450 --> 00:51:54,238
Fabiana Udenio: True, but but it would give me such, you
Speaker:1463
,278 --> 00:51:57,949
Fabiana Udenio: know, the ability to not necessarily
Speaker:1464
,009 --> 00:52:00,440
Fabiana Udenio: practice it, so that mostly I was jealous
Speaker:1465
,480 --> 00:52:01,184
Fabiana Udenio: of a law degree.
Speaker:1466
,244 --> 00:52:02,329
Fabiana Udenio: not maybe, i don't know if I would make it
Speaker:1467
,349 --> 00:52:03,815
Fabiana Udenio: good Maybe a judge.
Speaker:1468
,076 --> 00:52:05,442
Fabiana Udenio: I would make a good judge because I'm very
Speaker:1469
,522 --> 00:52:07,450
Fabiana Udenio: fair, but that's a lot of work.
Speaker:1470
,894 --> 00:52:09,147
Marc Preston: They have those judge shows in the middle
Speaker:1471
,187 --> 00:52:09,430
Marc Preston: of the day.
Speaker:1472
,874 --> 00:52:11,268
Marc Preston: If they had one, we're just giving you some
Speaker:1473
,329 --> 00:52:11,430
Marc Preston: ideas.
Speaker:1474
,871 --> 00:52:13,976
Marc Preston: If you were a judge, I'm just saying that
Speaker:1475
,996 --> 00:52:15,681
Marc Preston: could be one where you could put your own
Speaker:1476
,721 --> 00:52:16,202
Marc Preston: spin on it.
Speaker:1477
,450 --> 00:52:18,006
Marc Preston: That would be, that would be kind of.
Speaker:1478
,066 --> 00:52:18,450
Marc Preston: I would watch it.
Speaker:1479
,433 --> 00:52:22,341
Fabiana Udenio: But also like but I'm also very patient.
Speaker:1480
,470 --> 00:52:24,196
Fabiana Udenio: So I think I could make a good teacher
Speaker:1481
,216 --> 00:52:25,039
Fabiana Udenio: because I'm patient.
Speaker:1482
,550 --> 00:52:27,115
Marc Preston: The wonderful thing is that you still
Speaker:1483
,176 --> 00:52:28,279
Marc Preston: really enjoy what you do.
Speaker:1484
,612 --> 00:52:29,218
Marc Preston: You know this is.
Speaker:1485
,238 --> 00:52:30,389
Marc Preston: It doesn't feel like just a job you have to
Speaker:1486
,410 --> 00:52:30,450
Marc Preston: do.
Speaker:1487
,975 --> 00:52:32,268
Marc Preston: It seems like you're still very passionate
Speaker:1488
,288 --> 00:52:32,450
Marc Preston: about it.
Speaker:1489
,871 --> 00:52:33,433
Marc Preston: I think we should all.
Speaker:1490
,835 --> 00:52:35,360
Marc Preston: I think we should all be so lucky to still
Speaker:1491
,380 --> 00:52:37,085
Marc Preston: do something for so long and be I feel like
Speaker:1492
,105 --> 00:52:37,828
Marc Preston: I'm very fortunate.
Speaker:1493
,868 --> 00:52:38,450
Marc Preston: I still love what I do.
Speaker:1494
,132 --> 00:52:39,372
Fabiana Udenio: Isn't?
Speaker:1495
,452 --> 00:52:41,557
Fabiana Udenio: yes, you certainly yes, if you can do that
Speaker:1496
,617 --> 00:52:44,143
Fabiana Udenio: for a living, that's a gift really.
Speaker:1497
,851 --> 00:52:47,577
Fabiana Udenio: And for me to have known it at an early age,
Speaker:1498
,637 --> 00:52:49,241
Fabiana Udenio: i didn't have to go through that confusion
Speaker:1499
,281 --> 00:52:50,343
Fabiana Udenio: in what am I going to do with my life.
Speaker:1500
,113 --> 00:52:52,418
Fabiana Udenio: I knew what I wanted to do.
Speaker:1501
,096 --> 00:52:54,288
Fabiana Udenio: Now the question is whether I could do it
Speaker:1502
,309 --> 00:52:54,430
Fabiana Udenio: or not.
Speaker:1503
,135 --> 00:52:57,450
Fabiana Udenio: And luckily, you know, i was able to do it.
Speaker:1504
,218 --> 00:53:00,152
Marc Preston: I think you're doing a wonderful job And I
Speaker:1505
,192 --> 00:53:01,836
Marc Preston: think I think Fubar is a wonderful
Speaker:1506
,558 --> 00:53:04,703
Marc Preston: progression to kind of reintroduce you to
Speaker:1507
,743 --> 00:53:06,207
Marc Preston: some folks who maybe haven't watched some
Speaker:1508
,247 --> 00:53:07,029
Marc Preston: of your other things.
Speaker:1509
,049 --> 00:53:07,370
Marc Preston: I think it's fun.
Speaker:1510
,339 --> 00:53:09,430
Marc Preston: I can't wait to get to the next episodes.
Speaker:1511
,460 --> 00:53:11,450
Marc Preston: But I have one last question.
Speaker:1512
,670 --> 00:53:13,332
Marc Preston: If you were to jump into a DeLorean you
Speaker:1513
,352 --> 00:53:15,195
Marc Preston: remember those DeLoreans and you were to
Speaker:1514
,235 --> 00:53:18,379
Marc Preston: travel back in time, you know, and to when
Speaker:1515
,399 --> 00:53:20,341
Marc Preston: you're 16 years old, and a piece of advice
Speaker:1516
,361 --> 00:53:23,365
Marc Preston: you would give yourself either to make the
Speaker:1517
,465 --> 00:53:25,768
Marc Preston: moment you were living in better somehow or
Speaker:1518
,848 --> 00:53:27,450
Marc Preston: to put you on a better track for the future.
Speaker:1519
,912 --> 00:53:30,988
Marc Preston: Just a piece of advice you would give 16
Speaker:1520
,008 --> 00:53:31,450
Marc Preston: year old Fabiana.
Speaker:1521
,824 --> 00:53:35,358
Fabiana Udenio: I don't stress so much, it'll be OK.
Speaker:1522
,222 --> 00:53:40,818
Fabiana Udenio: You don't have to be perfect, you know yeah.
Speaker:1523
,594 --> 00:53:44,179
Marc Preston: You're asking before what do other people
Speaker:1524
,239 --> 00:53:44,340
Marc Preston: say?
Speaker:1525
,450 --> 00:53:46,018
Marc Preston: That is something I hear frequently,
Speaker:1526
,199 --> 00:53:47,767
Marc Preston: because don't we distress when we're kids
Speaker:1527
,807 --> 00:53:48,430
Marc Preston: and worry about what's next?
Speaker:1528
,953 --> 00:53:50,882
Marc Preston: And if you do, just enjoy the ride.
Speaker:1529
,023 --> 00:53:53,195
Marc Preston: Yeah, i love that, that's perfect And don't
Speaker:1530
,235 --> 00:53:54,564
Marc Preston: take yourself too seriously.
Speaker:1531
,584 --> 00:53:56,354
Fabiana Udenio: You know, i was so intense, i was very
Speaker:1532
,374 --> 00:53:57,257
Fabiana Udenio: intense when I was young.
Speaker:1533
,611 --> 00:54:00,884
