Look at that glass tile.
lt's pretty nice.
- Yeah. - It's really nice.
Two bedrooms. Two bathrooms too.
Can you forward that? What's the price on that?
$3500 a month, so,
that's not too bad for considering where it is. I mean, look at this place.
It's... it's gonna add up quickly, man.
I mean, you gotta, you gotta put furniture in. It doesn't come with that furniture.
You gotta pay first and last month's rent.
You gotta put deposit down, utilities,
- all that stuff. - Okay, all right, yeah, yeah.
I've got like 25, 25 grand left from that T-shirt deal, so,
It's not going to get you to a year. It's probably going to get you to a half a year.
- Or maybe, like, four months. - Well, I could just do another one, then.
Do you really want to do another t-shirt deal?
Well, what's wrong with it?
You're not going to sell t-shirts for the rest of your life.
Well, yeah, obviously eventually I'm going to audition.
- You know, so... - There you go.
Auditions are good. Now we're talking.
Have you reached out to your agent about it?
- Yeah. - You got auditions?
Yeah, I got one, I got one yesterday.
- Are you lying to me? You got one? - Yeah. I did.
I didn't really respond to the material, so it's not really...
Well, maybe you should still go in on it.
- What? - Still go in.
I think actually, you know, you want to go in there and like kinda grease the wheels a little bit.
I already deleted the email, so...
Well, it'd be good for you to go in, I think, dude.
Just go show your face, get back in a room.
You should reconsider it.
Okay.
All right, Jeremy, I'm going to take off for rehearsals.
Wait, what?
- I'll see you later. - See ya. Later.
Just think about it!
www.subtitulamos.tv
Let's take a moment to align, everybody.
Feels good, great. So,
we begin.
- Yeah? - Yeah, yeah.
All right. We begin this journey.
Right, great, so, a couple of bits of business.
One, I do have a cold sore coming on,
so there's going to be no kissing. Of me, at least.
Just wanted to let everyone know that. That's important news.
I'm not ashamed of it. It is my reality.
Fantastic, I just want to introduce everybody to you,
'cause we've been working with each other, some of us, 10, 15 years now.
And, and, you know, this is your first day, so...
It's important that we all know each other, so I just want to start down here with Pierre.
Pierre comes to us from Chicago. He's a Chicago actor.
And, I don't want to brag about you too much, but, he
he just finished up doing a production
of a Sam Shepard play called True West
with Michael Shannon, directed by Terry Kinney.
Congratulations.
Leo is also a Chicago actor from Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.
He just wrapped up playing Bottom in Midsummer Night's Dream,
in Chicago out at Navy Pier.
Just, it's funny, I always say this.
If there's three men in a play and two of them are Chicago actors,
the third one could just be a mannequin, it doesn't matter.
Niko, Niko here is a very old friend of mine,
and, has done, really, just work all over the world.
- I saw her in The Goat in Poland. - Yeah.
And...
And we're very lucky to have her.
- And then we have Yun, here. - Don't touch me.
Right, so, we call, just Karen, she goes by Karen.
- We met Yun while we touring... - My name is Karen.
- Yep. - Okay.
We have a lot of history here. Just so you know, we're all on the same page.
Karen is, I will say I am Karen's ex-husband,
as well as Pierre is also Karen's ex-husband.
But we all get along here.
It's a very long, storied history.
So Freya Freitag, so you're in the presence of German royalty here.
Her parents created the freeg,
- The Freitag method? - The Freitag Methode. Yeah. I'm Deustche.
- Freitag. - Right.
So Freya's mother and father created the Freitag method,
and, it's really groundbreaking stuff. And it's incredible.
But, yeah, so there we go.
Now, everybody, this is Seth.
Seth Stewart.
Seth is an actor, and he was on a television show called Eternal.
- For the whole thing? For... - Yes.
- All the seasons, so. - Yes.
It's, if you haven't seen Eternal, it's a really interesting show.
It's a prolific show.
It's... a lot of your demographic.
- What does that mean? - It's, it was like a teen drama, though, so, it's a...
You played a teenager?
At one point, then we grew up a little bit, yeah, yeah.
- Teenaged vampires? - Yes.
So, let's dive right into the work, if we don't mind.
It's a table, you know, Seth. Just kind of go with the flow.
- Just try to keep up, basically. - Okay.
lt should be fine, though.
And somehow the flight crew wasn't informed
of his plum allergy and it was a terrible allergy.
I'll never forget those wet, warm winter nights at Park Place.
That was great, that was really, really good.
Good job. Seth.
If I may, I was looking at the scene last night.
I think it's a classic white swan/red turtle scene.
- Yes. - The dynamic between the characters.
What's a red swan/ white turtle?
You haven't read any Peterborough?
No.
Do you have a problem with me, man? Why are you looking at me like that?
- lt's just fu..., it's our first day of rehearsal here. - It's fine.
- lf you have a problem, just... - Fuck you, Phil.
Great. Fuck you too, Pierre. We'll talk about that later.
This is a fucking disaster.
And it sounds like it's going to get worse before it gets better.
- Why? - Because you have to tell her.
I do?
If you want to talk to another actor about a note or a performance note,
just talk to me, and then I will relay the information.
- How does that sound? - Fuck you, Phil.
Fuck you, Pierre.
Fuck you!
America was great.
Make America America again.
Soapbox, Bob. Don't forget to breathe a little.
Jesus Christ.
Good, it's good. *** Pierre.
- Just slow, slow, slow. - I want to remember.
I want to remember.
Deep, deep, deep!
Deep. Deep. Deep Pierre, go deep, go deep!
God damn it, find it! Find it! Find it!
Please!
He only this got this part because of his show.
- on television. - People only see the show
- because of his show. - _
- Is that why we want people here? - _
Well, we want people here, period.
It gets butts in the seats, like Phil said.
Seth?
How are you feeling right now?
I feel good, thank you.
How you feeling?
Satiated.
- What is your fucking problem? - What's my fucking problem?
My fucking problem is that you are undermining me in front of my cast
and the new member of our company.
You told me to make him comfortable.
- I'm trying to make him comfortable. - _
Well, you're doing a shit job of it, all right?
_
- I know what this is about, you and your fucking ego again. - No, what this is about
- is you not having a vision - _
- and picking this guy. He's a fucking hack! - _
_
You're such an actor! You throw a chair, and you think it's intense!
You piece of shit.
And classique.
Hands on hips.
So. Why do we play theatre games?
No, I'm asking, why do we play theatre games? Why do we play theatre games? Why?
To get in.
Okay. Any, any, anybody else?
- Courage. - Courage.
- Play. - Play.
- Love. - Thank you, love.
Emotionality.
Emotionality. Thank you, Karen.
So, I want to start with two quotes.
One is "We are not...
people,
we are humans who are actors."
That's Tom Stoppard.
- And the other quote... - Phil, I think that quote is,
"We're actors, we're the opposite of people."
It's, I think it's a translation issue. I think the way I said it is the way...
He's English.
- Jesus. - Pierre, you want to talk about this right now?
- No, not really. - Sacred space in rehearsal.
I'm sorry. We should just move on.
- Fuck you, Phil. - Fuck you, Pierre.
Fuck you.
Excuse me. Can I address everybody real quick?
- You've already started. Go, just go ahead. - It'll just take a second.
Just want to thank you guys for allowing me inside your group for this.
I know I'm like an outsider here,
and you guys all know each other very well, but,
thank you for having me, is what I wanted to say,
to each and every one of you. A little eye contact.
Thank you. And thank you, Phil.
- You're welcome. - Thanks.
I totally lost my train of thought, again.
Okay, I'd like to play bippity bippity bop now.
It's not permanent, all right? It's not permanent.
Desperate...
It's tough out there.
It's worse than I thought.
And we're two weeks away from getting kicked out.
Two weeks away.
Still got it.
You can blame Jeremy for the strategic way he put these.
- This is Jeremy's doing? - Yes.
- Love that guy. - Love that guy, yes, yep.
But they'll look really good for the engagement party.
And I want it to look perfect for Izzy.
You guys are... you're both coming, right?
Yes, my ex-girlfriend's engagement party.
- I know. - I'm going to be there.
Are you bringing dates? Just for numbers.
Just 'cause I'm sort of just figuring everything out.
- I-I didn't really think that far ahead. - Yeah.
I'm going to say no, though, I'm definitely not.
So what about... is... Jeremy's bringing a date
to the party, or no...?
That is funny you're asking, but I think that,
he's not going to bring a date.
I think he's excited to see, you know, some people,
and, you know, he's probably excited to see you.
Ex... excited to see me?
Did he say that?
- Did he say what? - That he's excited to see me.
- Did I say that? - You sa... yeah, I just thought it was a bit weird.
No, no, no, I, I don't know.
I mean, I would imagine he's excited to see you.
I'm guessing, yeah.
- Okay. - Yeah, it's going to be great. A lot of fun.
It's gonna be, you know, like an Eternal reunion.
An Eternal reunion, yes. Can we just...
All right, how do you... how do you... how do you feel about it?
But does it not seem a little bit strange
that all of a sudden he's sort of just presented this idea that it's a possibility,
even though I can't physically do it 'cause I'm obviously on another contract.
- Of course. Of course. - You don't... you don't want to do it.
I don't know, I would consider doing it.
It's... it's probably not going to happen anytime soon because you've got Feds,
and, you know, I'm doing something and, and Jeremy's...
It's just not really possible anymore, is it, though,
you know, for a bunch of reasons,
and it kind of feels like I'm being sucked back into this vortex by this announcement.
I'm just kind of feeling like the past's all sort of being thrown
back up into the air, and I'm...
it's different now, everybody's doing different things,
- and the show's over. - And I think people...
It's not gonna happen anymore, and I just think that I'm...
I'm a little bit upset, I think, that he's just, you know...
Are you okay?
Am I okay? Yeah, yeah, I'm... I'm good.
I'm, I guess I just,
I've had a lot of time, kind of on my own,
to just sort of think about everything, and I haven't... I haven't spoken to...
to you guys in a long time, and,
lot of changes going on.
Lot of changes.
- You can, you know, you can call me whenever you need to. - Okay.
Okay, I didn't mean to put you in a weird position.
- I'll come over here and untangle your Christmas... - Ha, sorry.
You don't need to apologize. No, it's... yeah, you're...
Sorry, Seth, sorry. I'm fine.
It's fine. It's fine.
Nope.
No, that's a trap.
Hey, stranger, I feel like I haven't talked to you in a while,
and that's probably because I haven't talked to you in a while.
It's on me. I know I owed you a phone call.
Things have just been so busy with school,
and time has flown by quicker than I'm comfortable with.
Should we expect more of this in adulthood?
If so, let's start a commune in Topanga Canyon
and develop our hula hooping skills. Deal?
Give me a call, I'd really like to see you.
I'll provide the hula hoops. I hope you're doing well.
Jeremy. Hey.
How you doin?
I was just going over my sides.
- ls that your audition? - Yeah.
- Those are the sides? - Yeah, yeah.
Have you been out here for a while?
I don't know, what time is it?
4:00.
- Yep. - That's warm.
Hot beer.
Are you ready for it?
Not totally ready.
- I was just highlighting the lines. - Let me see them.
You want to run 'em?
Right now, I haven't really memorized them yet.
That's all right. We'll just kind of run it for dialogue a little bit.
Get those lines in you a little bit. You want to run it for words?
Yeah, cool. Thanks, man. Definitely.
You want to grab your hot beers?
Yeah, I'll just get these.
Yeah, thank you.
- Okay. - Let me get this.
Olivia!
Look at this place, baby. Look around you.
We're living like dogs, and we're two weeks away from getting kicked out of this place.
I thought you said...
Cut me off there.
You gotta cut me off. Cut me off right there.
- I lied! - Okay, one more time.
Pick up that cue.
- Cool. - Cool.
- Olivia. - No, wait, no no no.
- Olivia's up. - Keep Olivia up?
He composes himself. Come down a little bit.
- But starts high. - Is that what it says? Does it say he composes?
- lt says he composes himself. - I missed that.
Look around you! We're living like dogs,
and we're two weeks away from getting kicked out.
- I thought you said... - I lied!
Good! That was good. You gotta keep going.
- Look around you, just... - Nope, nope.
Actually lower the voice.
- After that. - Yes. Different speeds, different speeds.
I didn't want you to worry about me. I, I...
I wanted to just figure it out.
Fuck.
C'mon man.
You know what you need to do?
You need to go to audition workshop.
I got a class, open door policy.
I think I can get you in there tonight.
- Okay, can you go with me? - No.
- Why not? - This is something you gotta do on your own, man.
I'm not going to be able to go on the audition with you,
so just go to the audition workshop without me as well.
Are you sure you can't go with me?
I can't. I'm sorry.
I'm actually, I'm going to see Sarah tonight.
- Sarah Dinsey? - Yeah.
- Really? - Yep, she, left me a voicemail.
I thought you were done with her.
She wants to catch up.
Are you sure that's a good idea?
Just a catch up.
- All right. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Work on this and.. - Protect your heart.
I'm going to give them a call for you,
and we'll be able to get you in there tonight.
Olivia! Olivia! God!
Those were the worst three days of my life.
They weren't so easy for me either.
You were asleep, you son of a bitch! Don't even!
I hear everything you're saying. And I'm sorry.
You know how sorry I am.
Okay.
Janice, how was that?
It felt like a warm-up.
Did you feel connected to him?
No. No, I didn't.
Okay, well, were you looking, were you seeing anything happening in his eyes?
I couldn't see his eyes for most of it.
- Okay, Jeremy. - Yeah.
I don't know you, I know Seth.
How would you describe your process?
Well, when I was working a lot, I would,
I would read the script a few times,...
I would try to write a little backstory for it,
- Okay. - The character.
Did you do that this morning?
- No, I didn't. - Okay.
Did you connect with her in any way, shape or form?
I thought I was pretty connected, I thought I was...
So what did you see from her, what did you take from her?
What went between you two?
If you don't give her anything, she has nothing to take.
You're not executing.
And I'm not crazy about your choices 'cause you're not making any.
What's happening here?
I mean, you disrespect your own talent, you disrespect...
the rest of us,
you disrespect your audience.
What are you not doing now that you were doing before?
Is it caring? Is it... did you lose your passion?
A lot of these people would love
to have the experience that you've had.
To be on a show like Eternal that runs for four years.
But it doesn't end with that.
It's over.
So, what happened?
Why aren't you emotionally connecting?
I mean, I guess I'm pretty... I'm pretty nervous to get back into it.
- I don't feel that... - What do you think you're afraid of?
Not...
doing that well, you know. Like, not...
Dude, you're there. You're not doing that well.
So, you gotta get back to how you can do better.
Or don't do it, it's too hard.
And there's too many people who want to do it.
So do it right or get out of the way.
And trying to just fit in, do my part.
- I'm sure you fit in. - We'll see.
We'll see what happens. Pray for me.
I will pray for you. I'm so excited for you.
- Thank you. - You seem so jazzed about it.
- I love that. - Yeah.
How have you been?
- Great. - Yeah.
Well, great busy.
- Yeah. - Really, really busy.
Okay, I'm swamped. I,
thought I could handle the workload but it's catching up to me.
- Yeah? - When I'm not writing, I'm studying.
And when I'm not studying, I'm in class.
- Classes and studying and writing. - Yeah. All of that.
So it's just been all school.
Yeah, yeah.
Are you okay?
Yeah, can I show you something?
- Just where we were. - Yeah.
I don't know even...
- How I came across this the other day, but, - Okay.
I was on the internet here and I...
I found that.
That was a shock. Yeah.
Didn't expect to see that show up on my phone.
- That is you, right? - Yeah.
Don't date actors. uh?
Yeah, okay, you're upset about this....
No, I'm not upset, I just... I was...
He was my first boyfriend, and we stay in touch.
We're friends now, but, I mean, I barely see him.
But, yeah, we keep in touch from time to time.
- Are we "just friends" now? - I'm sorry?
I mean, I just, I don't know what your definition of "just friends" is.
What do you want to know?
I'm showing you right now, like is this, I mean,
is this why you've kind of been flighty?
- Flighty? Okay. - I mean...
hey, I don't know what you want to call it. I, you know, just...
All right, fine, you want an explanation,
'cause clearly you're not asking me that straight out, so I'll tell you.
Yeah, he was my first boyfriend. I've known him since I was 13.
Our families are friends.
We moved out to Los Angeles together.
And he became a huge, successful, famous actor,
and he changed. He changed for good.
And it completely...
destroyed our relationship, and it ruined me. It ruined me. So...
I...
I'm sorry. I didn't know...
I didn't know all that.
Yeah, that was...
- I shouldn't have shown you that. - No, you shouldn't have.
No.
Thank you.
Thank you for reminding me how
emotionally reckless and impulsive and
immature actors can be, so,
- Look, I... I'm not. - You know what, it's okay.
- You don't have to say anything else. - I'm not... I'm not... look.
I think this was a mistake, and...
- No, no, no, it was not a mistake, - I'm going to go.
- Hey, I'm s... - I'm going.
Deal with it.
Red leather yellow leather.
You got this.
Emotionally reckless and impulsive and immature.
Hey, Seth?
- Hey, Seth. - What?
Hey, hey, man. I just need you for a couple seconds. I have kind of an emergency.
Right now?
Yeah, I'm really sorry, man, just two seconds.
Okay, one sec.
Sweet. Thanks, man, I'll be in my room.
I'm an asshole.
I'm really sorry, but my audition's in, like, 15 minutes,
and I want to make sure I get it right. What do you think?
It's like a lumberjack.
No, dude, no, you don't. Not at all.
- I gotta jump in the shower. - Don't, don't, don't.
I'm all sweaty now. We don't have any...
Third button. No, down a button.
- Sorry, man. Fuck. - Right there.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Dude, you're killing me. You're going to make me late.
You're late. I don't want to be late.
Look at yourself. You're wearing Canadian tuxedo.
- What's a Canadian tuxedo? - What's a Canadian tuxedo?
What you're wearing right now. It's all jean, all blue.
Okay. Is that bad? He's from Alaska. That's near Canada, right?
Hold on, hold on, just give me a second, all right? Let me think, let me think.
Yes, dude, thank you. I saw that one, but I thought you would be kind of like...
No, it's fine, you can use whatever you want of mine.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. I need a jacket, I need a jacket.
- It's pretty loud, what if I have to like, walk around? - It's okay.
Why, don't do that, why are you doing that?
- You're not a tap dancer, you're a lumberjack. - You're right.
Just come in, just be cool, calm, collected, all right?
Don't forget to breathe, all right? Don't forget to blink.
- You're a lifesaver. Thank you. - Okay.
- Good luck. - Good luck today!
Thank you. God damn it!
Jeremy?
Hey, Jax.
- Where have you been? Bring it in. - Hey, man, how are you.
I'm good, I'm good. How's it going?
It's going pretty good man.
I haven't seen you in forever.
Yeah, I'm just kind of getting back into it, actually.
- lt's a fun role. - lt is, it's a lot of fun.
Yeah. I camped out last night.
I was just trying to really, you know, feel the character.
I got some firewood, brought an axe,
got to chop down the firewood, you know.
Really embody the character.
Where did you even do something like that?
Silver Lake.
It was awesome. It was right next to the Vons.
Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about.
So I just parked the car right in the parking lot, I go get the firewood, right,
and then just chop it up a little extra.
That's, that's really good for me to know next time, for sure, yeah.
I wanted to ask you about Andrea, man.
- Yeah. - How you doing?
How, I'm not, well...
You guys still able to connect
and, you know, continue, like, that relationship, you know?
Yeah, we still have a...
dialogue.
We still are on speaking terms.
Dude, that's awesome. That's so progressive.
- 100%. - Yeah.
I should...
- Maybe get a little focused on this. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Hi. - Hey there. How are you?
- Good. - Good.
- Hello. - Hi.
Who's next?
- He was... - Actually, it's you man.
No, you were here first, so...
I haven't even signed in, so just go right ahead.
You know what? I actually had a really long drive over,
so I'm just going to pop out and use the bathroom, you go ahead.
- We have a restroom here if you want to use it real quick. - There you go.
I shouldn't do that here. I'll just...
I don't know why I said that.
- I just, I'll be back. - Sure, yeah.
- When you gotta go, you gotta go. - I guess so.
I guess you're next.
So great to see you. You look amazing.
Loosen up those arms, loosen it up.
Two weeks from...
Two weeks.
Come on.
Two weeks form getting...
- Next time I'll bring you with me. - That would be amazing.
Yeah, well, I mean, next time I'll bring the axe and everything
- I'll teach you how to chop it. - Ooh, that'd be really cool.
- Yeah, it'd be a lot of fun. - Yeah.
- So good seeing you. - Great to see you too.
- All right. Come on. - Yeah.
All right, I'll see you soon.
- Yes, we'll be in touch. - Okay. Bye.
Andy?
You're next. Come with me.
Hey, Phil, how's it going, it's Seth, I'm standing outside on the street,
at the stage door just knocking on the door.
Running a couple minutes late here, if somebody could let me in, that'd be great.
All right, I'll just be standing out here waiting.
Thanks.
Shit.
It's okay, that's not what I wrote, so if that's what she wants to say, she can be in another play.
- Seth, what's up, man? - Hi, sorry.
Why are you banging on the door? We're working in here.
Sorry, I know, I'm running a little bit late today.
- I'm here now. - We started 20 minutes ago.
I know, I know. I'm sorry about that.
I tell you what, just take the day off, go get a massage, hit the spa.
You know, have a "you" day.
If you wake up tomorrow, you feel like you want to work,
come to rehearsal on time, and we'll reincorporate you back into the play.
No, no, I'm ready to work. I just...
Not today, just take a day off, and we'll see you tomorrow, okay?
On time. Bye.
Jeremy Davis?
