Fabiana Udenio: Forever.

90

00:03:14,265 --> 00:03:16,956

Fabiana Udenio: came to the United States in the late 80s

92

00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:22,297

96

00:03:27,391 --> 00:03:29,443

Fabiana Udenio: summer school and I kind of stayed.

97

00:03:29,503 --> 00:03:34,172

Fabiana Udenio: I went back and forth from Italy to work

98

00:03:34,212 --> 00:03:36,704

Fabiana Udenio: for a while and I came here, but generally

99

00:03:37,727 --> 00:03:38,970

Fabiana Udenio: so it's been since the late 80s.

100

00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:39,772

Fabiana Udenio: How long has that been?

101

00:03:40,382 --> 00:03:41,427

Fabiana Udenio: Too much to count?

102

00:03:42,191 --> 00:03:43,799

Marc Preston: I don't really want to think about how long

103

00:03:43,819 --> 00:03:44,000

Marc Preston: it's been.

Marc Preston: is funny stuff.

117

00:04:08,357 --> 00:04:10,344

Marc Preston: But yeah, you originally from Italy, but I

118

00:04:10,364 --> 00:04:11,928

Marc Preston: thought I read somewhere Weren't you born

119

00:04:11,968 --> 00:04:12,590

Marc Preston: in Argentina?

120

00:04:13,763 --> 00:04:16,193

Fabiana Udenio: Yes, i was born in Argentina.

121

00:04:16,233 --> 00:04:18,000

Fabiana Udenio: My parents are Italian, but my dad went to

122

00:04:18,161 --> 00:04:21,090

Fabiana Udenio: Argentina to join his father, who had a

123

00:04:21,492 --> 00:04:23,980

Fabiana Udenio: company there, and so they got married

124

00:04:24,401 --> 00:04:24,902

Fabiana Udenio: really young.

125

00:04:24,942 --> 00:04:27,348

Fabiana Udenio: My parents went to Argentina with my sister,

126

00:04:27,409 --> 00:04:30,464

Fabiana Udenio: who was one year old, and they stayed there

127

00:04:30,524 --> 00:04:31,526

Fabiana Udenio: for 15 years.

128

00:04:31,687 --> 00:04:33,451

Fabiana Udenio: So I was born there, stayed there until I

129

00:04:33,491 --> 00:04:37,607

Fabiana Udenio: was six or seven or depending on whether I

130

00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:42,303

Fabiana Udenio: Yes And then they went back to Italy And so

131

00:04:42,383 --> 00:04:44,990

Fabiana Udenio: my upbringing was in Italy, my schooling

132

00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:47,504

Fabiana Udenio: and all What kind of work was your father

133

00:04:47,544 --> 00:04:49,129

Fabiana Udenio: doing in Argentina?

134

00:04:49,149 --> 00:04:49,891

Marc Preston: What was his trade?

135

00:04:50,942 --> 00:04:52,925

Fabiana Udenio: They were importing and exporting

136

00:04:54,989 --> 00:05:00,332

Fabiana Udenio: photographic equipment And they were doing

137

00:05:00,352 --> 00:05:00,633

Fabiana Udenio: pretty well.

138

00:05:00,653 --> 00:05:01,960

Fabiana Udenio: But you know, in Argentina the economic,

139

00:05:02,663 --> 00:05:05,434

Fabiana Udenio: political system goes up and down, so I

140

00:05:05,474 --> 00:05:06,980

Fabiana Udenio: think there was a crash, political,

141

00:05:07,964 --> 00:05:10,373

Fabiana Udenio: everything And so my mother I think it was

142

00:05:10,434 --> 00:05:13,343

Fabiana Udenio: my mother at the time that decided I wanted

143

00:05:13,363 --> 00:05:15,688

Fabiana Udenio: to go back And my dad kind of maybe didn't

144

00:05:15,788 --> 00:05:19,809

Fabiana Udenio: want to, but they went back to Italy And so

145

00:05:19,849 --> 00:05:22,000

Fabiana Udenio: I had family over there in Argentina.

146

00:05:22,682 --> 00:05:23,545

Marc Preston: Was that who it was back then?

148

00:05:25,362 --> 00:05:26,025

Fabiana Udenio: states.

202

00:07:06,481 --> 00:07:09,788

Fabiana Udenio: And then, a year after I was cast in 1985,

203

00:07:09,808 --> 00:07:17,023

Fabiana Udenio: 1986, I was cast to play this character in

Fabiana Udenio: One Life to Live.

205

00:07:18,507 --> 00:07:20,994

Fabiana Udenio: So I went to New York for a year And I

206

00:07:21,054 --> 00:07:27,087

Fabiana Udenio: played this character regular on the soap

207

Fabiana Udenio: opera One Life to Live.

208

00:07:28,770 --> 00:07:31,621

Fabiana Udenio: So I got to experience that for a year And

209

00:07:31,682 --> 00:07:35,470

Fabiana Udenio: I really wanted to stay in the states But I

210

00:07:35,490 --> 00:07:37,321

Fabiana Udenio: didn't know whether that was going to be

211

00:07:37,361 --> 00:07:37,762

Fabiana Udenio: possible.

212

00:07:37,782 --> 00:07:40,789

Marc Preston: So I went from New York to Los Angeles And

213

00:07:40,830 --> 00:07:43,163

Marc Preston: within two months I got the movie Summer

214

00:07:43,183 --> 00:07:45,930

Marc Preston: School, which I'm sure your kids I don't

215

00:07:45,950 --> 00:07:49,406

Marc Preston: know- You know I will say I think my sons

216

00:07:49,486 --> 00:07:51,932

Marc Preston: watched it, but for me, as a Gen X kid,

217

00:07:52,301 --> 00:07:55,248

Marc Preston: it's on the Mount Rushmore of movies from

218

00:07:55,288 --> 00:07:57,121

Marc Preston: back, because everybody wanted Marc Harmon

219

00:07:57,141 --> 00:07:58,148

Marc Preston: to be their summer school teacher.

220

00:07:58,228 --> 00:07:59,940

Marc Preston: After that movie, and I think after you

221

00:08:00,341 --> 00:08:01,525

Marc Preston: were in it, i think there's probably

222

00:08:01,565 --> 00:08:02,709

Marc Preston: thousands of young men that were

223

00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,886

Marc Preston: petitioning their parents to can we do a

224

00:08:04,946 --> 00:08:06,451

Marc Preston: foreign exchange student for the area?

225

00:08:07,948 --> 00:08:10,945

Marc Preston: So Coming from Rome and doing that movie

226

00:08:10,965 --> 00:08:13,222

Marc Preston: and just walking around LA, what was it

227

00:08:13,262 --> 00:08:14,104

Marc Preston: like when you first started getting

228

00:08:14,205 --> 00:08:14,927

Marc Preston: recognized?

229

00:08:15,107 --> 00:08:15,970

Marc Preston: People knew who you were.

230

00:08:16,050 --> 00:08:16,601

Marc Preston: What was that Like?

231

00:08:16,621 --> 00:08:18,086

Marc Preston: was that a little bit odd for you to be

232

00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:19,210

Marc Preston: recognized at that point?

233

00:08:20,180 --> 00:08:21,746

Fabiana Udenio: Actually, when I was doing the soap opera

234

00:08:21,766 --> 00:08:24,507

Fabiana Udenio: in New York, that was interesting because

235

00:08:24,527 --> 00:08:26,200

Fabiana Udenio: the soap operas had kind of a following.

236

00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,033

Fabiana Udenio: So they were asking, especially at the ABC

237

00:08:29,073 --> 00:08:30,661

Fabiana Udenio: Studios right there Lincoln Center, they

238

00:08:30,681 --> 00:08:32,127

Fabiana Udenio: were asking for autographs and stuff like.

239

00:08:32,147 --> 00:08:36,003

Fabiana Udenio: So I was Julietta, julietta Doing summer

240

00:08:36,023 --> 00:08:40,064

Fabiana Udenio: school, getting cast in that The biggest

241

00:08:40,145 --> 00:08:42,830

Fabiana Udenio: emotion was to go to the Paramount Studios

242

00:08:43,090 --> 00:08:45,362

Fabiana Udenio: and just see the Paramount sign and going

243

00:08:45,402 --> 00:08:47,189

Fabiana Udenio: into the Paramount Studios.

00:08:48,823 --> 00:08:49,807

Fabiana Udenio: So that was a kick.

245

00:08:53,726 --> 00:08:58,697

Fabiana Udenio: And so getting recognized was that it kind

246

00:08:58,737 --> 00:08:59,980

Fabiana Udenio: of grew, summer school kind of grew.

247

00:09:00,020 --> 00:09:06,849

248

00:09:06,889 --> 00:09:08,372

Fabiana Udenio: didn't have any trouble with it, i kind of

249

00:09:08,392 --> 00:09:08,733

Fabiana Udenio: liked it.

250

00:09:09,421 --> 00:09:10,586

Marc Preston: What were you wanting to do when you were

251

00:09:10,626 --> 00:09:10,807

Marc Preston: young?

252

00:09:11,621 --> 00:09:13,648

Marc Preston: Was it always a track of performance of

253

00:09:13,688 --> 00:09:14,109

Marc Preston: some sort?

254

00:09:14,903 --> 00:09:16,100

Fabiana Udenio: Yes, i always wanted to.

255

00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,326

Fabiana Udenio: I don't know, since I was seven years,

256

00:09:18,446 --> 00:09:20,412

Fabiana Udenio: eight, nine, i wanted to be an actress.

257

00:09:20,861 --> 00:09:23,349

Fabiana Udenio: I was my sister, who's older than me, tells

258

00:09:23,389 --> 00:09:27,206

Fabiana Udenio: me that I was imitating commercials all the

259

00:09:27,246 --> 00:09:29,408

Fabiana Udenio: time And I just you know, i don't know.

260

00:09:29,901 --> 00:09:31,968

Fabiana Udenio: And then I was 11 or 12.

261

00:09:32,121 --> 00:09:33,840

Fabiana Udenio: I wanted to do acting classes.

262

00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:36,129

Fabiana Udenio: I did a little theater in the neighborhood

263

00:09:36,740 --> 00:09:41,150

Fabiana Udenio: And then I won Miss Teen Italy when I was

264

00:09:41,791 --> 00:09:42,793

Fabiana Udenio: 12 and a half.

265

00:09:42,961 --> 00:09:45,197

Fabiana Udenio: That's Italian for you, really Well that

266

00:09:45,217 --> 00:09:45,984

Fabiana Udenio: wasn't even That's.

267

00:09:46,024 --> 00:09:47,902

Fabiana Udenio: That's that's not quite legal, but you know.

268

00:09:47,922 --> 00:09:50,050

Fabiana Udenio: So they wanted to take the title away from

269

00:09:50,131 --> 00:09:52,299

Fabiana Udenio: me because I don't know if it's right or

270

00:09:52,339 --> 00:09:52,500

Fabiana Udenio: wrong.

271

00:09:52,620 --> 00:09:53,944

Fabiana Udenio: I don't know legally what it would be,

272

00:09:54,987 --> 00:09:57,601

Fabiana Udenio: because I'm born in December And I think

273

00:09:57,662 --> 00:10:01,411

Fabiana Udenio: the title, the competition, was before my

274

00:10:01,471 --> 00:10:01,952

Fabiana Udenio: birthday.

275

00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,009

Fabiana Udenio: So I wasn't quite a teenager technically,

276

00:10:05,380 --> 00:10:08,154

Fabiana Udenio: but I kept the title because you know

277

00:10:08,347 --> 00:10:08,567

Fabiana Udenio: there's.

278

00:10:08,647 --> 00:10:11,393

Marc Preston: But still in Italy, being that young and

279

00:10:11,493 --> 00:10:14,526

Marc Preston: having, was it really big, was it?

280

00:10:14,821 --> 00:10:16,326

Marc Preston: Obviously it's a big competition, but it

281

00:10:16,366 --> 00:10:18,063

Marc Preston: wasn't something that gave you an aspect of

282

00:10:18,124 --> 00:10:20,116

Marc Preston: notoriety to people say, oh, this girl,

283

00:10:20,156 --> 00:10:23,008

Marc Preston: fabiana, you know she's only 12 or 13, but

284

00:10:23,048 --> 00:10:26,063

Marc Preston: she was in a big deal, or Yeah, it was, it

285

00:10:26,103 --> 00:10:27,087

Marc Preston: was, it was a big deal.

286

00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,732

Fabiana Udenio: It was sort of like in a pageant kind of a

287

00:10:31,812 --> 00:10:34,680

Fabiana Udenio: way, without any sort of way, you know,

288

00:10:34,780 --> 00:10:36,652

Fabiana Udenio: like a pet, like you know there is still a

289

00:10:36,753 --> 00:10:38,121

Fabiana Udenio: talent competition, but it's still like

290

00:10:38,161 --> 00:10:38,684

Fabiana Udenio: it's a pageant.

291

00:10:39,321 --> 00:10:41,592

Fabiana Udenio: But what happened to me right after I got

292

00:10:41,632 --> 00:10:43,662

Fabiana Udenio: cast in the Tempest to play Mirana, that

293

00:10:43,702 --> 00:10:44,505

Fabiana Udenio: was a big deal.

294

00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,746

Fabiana Udenio: The theater director, george Ostrich, he's

295

00:10:47,786 --> 00:10:51,382

Fabiana Udenio: like he was an icon of the theater all over

296

00:10:51,503 --> 00:10:54,727

Fabiana Udenio: Europe And so to be cast so young in that

297

00:10:55,309 --> 00:11:00,390

Fabiana Udenio: sort of gave me three, 16, away, a prestige

298

00:11:01,052 --> 00:11:03,763

Fabiana Udenio: and weighed as an actor And for a while

299

00:11:03,824 --> 00:11:05,088

Fabiana Udenio: that's all I wanted to do.

300

00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,563

Marc Preston: I wanted to do theater, i wanted to was it

301

00:11:07,623 --> 00:11:09,308

Marc Preston: intimidating for you at all being that

302

00:11:09,369 --> 00:11:11,184

Marc Preston: young and then jumping into this, this

303

00:11:11,224 --> 00:11:12,568

Marc Preston: thing and getting that kind of recognition?

304

00:11:12,668 --> 00:11:13,190

Fabiana Udenio: It was.

305

00:11:15,581 --> 00:11:19,129

Fabiana Udenio: I was completely in love with theater and I

306

00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:22,706

Fabiana Udenio: was so passionate And it was, yes, that's

307

00:11:22,746 --> 00:11:22,847

Fabiana Udenio: all.

308

00:11:22,867 --> 00:11:24,030

Fabiana Udenio: I wanted to be Juliet.

309

00:11:24,110 --> 00:11:26,565

Fabiana Udenio: After that It was intimidating, but I was.

310

00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:27,809

Fabiana Udenio: I worked so hard.

311

00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:30,245

Fabiana Udenio: He gave me a lot of confidence.

312

00:11:31,843 --> 00:11:34,304

Fabiana Udenio: He's he's a maestro of that, but he did

313

00:11:34,685 --> 00:11:35,007

Fabiana Udenio: like me.

314

00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:38,147

Fabiana Udenio: He did like the fact that I was so raw and

315

00:11:38,227 --> 00:11:41,821

Fabiana Udenio: young and Miranda much like Juliet, juliet,

316

00:11:42,002 --> 00:11:44,589

Fabiana Udenio: juliet and Miranda they are she is very

317

00:11:44,690 --> 00:11:48,146

Fabiana Udenio: young And so there were some qualities that

318

00:11:48,226 --> 00:11:52,794

Fabiana Udenio: he was able to to to use of the young.

319

00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:55,507

Fabiana Udenio: You know the innocence of this that I was

320

00:11:55,627 --> 00:11:58,121

Fabiana Udenio: bringing to the stage, to the table, just

321

00:11:58,482 --> 00:12:00,849

Fabiana Udenio: for the fact that who I was and how hard I

322

00:12:00,909 --> 00:12:01,451

Fabiana Udenio: was working.

323

00:12:02,042 --> 00:12:04,527

00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,025

Fabiana Udenio: That's all I wanted to do.

326

00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:12,141

Fabiana Udenio: But then, after the theater, i started

327

00:12:12,943 --> 00:12:16,169

Fabiana Udenio: falling in love with, with American cinema

328

Marc Preston: i just assume I'm going to forget.

361

00:13:23,684 --> 00:13:25,529

Marc Preston: Whenever I try, my brain tries to actively

362

00:13:25,609 --> 00:13:27,586

Marc Preston: remember a name is when my brain goes no,

363

00:13:27,626 --> 00:13:28,714

Marc Preston: you're not going to be able to do that,

364

00:13:28,855 --> 00:13:29,500

Marc Preston: which is embarrassing.

365

00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:30,750

Marc Preston: When you're out with people and you try to

366

00:13:30,770 --> 00:13:32,000

Marc Preston: introduce them and your brain goes nope,

00:13:33,384 --> 00:13:33,525

Marc Preston: now.

369

00:13:33,545 --> 00:13:35,390

Marc Preston: Terrible names, terrible names.

Marc Preston: So what were your parents embracing this

371

00:13:37,226 --> 00:13:39,603

Marc Preston: thing you were doing, because here you're

372

00:13:39,624 --> 00:13:40,445

Marc Preston: doing this pageant.

373

00:13:40,485 --> 00:13:43,993

Marc Preston: You're doing, i'm assuming that the theater

374

00:13:44,033 --> 00:13:44,133

Marc Preston: thing.

375

00:13:44,364 --> 00:13:45,963

Marc Preston: That was a touring thing, that just wasn't

376

00:13:45,983 --> 00:13:46,485

Marc Preston: at one theater.

377

00:13:47,241 --> 00:13:48,606

Marc Preston: So were your parents okay with that, or

378

00:13:48,666 --> 00:13:49,509

Marc Preston: were they hesitant?

379

00:13:49,740 --> 00:13:52,385

Fabiana Udenio: My mother had to follow me because the

380

00:13:52,425 --> 00:13:54,229

Fabiana Udenio: structure in Italy they weren't so

381

00:13:54,249 --> 00:13:57,881

Fabiana Udenio: accustomed to underage performers Like here

382

00:13:57,922 --> 00:14:00,368

Fabiana Udenio: you have a whole system of schooling and

383

00:14:00,408 --> 00:14:00,548

Fabiana Udenio: rules.

384

00:14:03,261 --> 00:14:04,085

Fabiana Udenio: It wasn't so much.

385

00:14:04,420 --> 00:14:06,325

Fabiana Udenio: I don't know how it is right now for

386

00:14:06,626 --> 00:14:08,650

Fabiana Udenio: somebody that's underage, but at the time

387

00:14:08,731 --> 00:14:09,172

Fabiana Udenio: it wasn't.

388

00:14:09,580 --> 00:14:11,651

Fabiana Udenio: So my mother had to follow me and my mother

389

00:14:11,711 --> 00:14:13,179

Fabiana Udenio: completely embraced it, but it wasn't.

390

00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:16,007

Fabiana Udenio: She wasn't like the stage mom because it

391

00:14:16,048 --> 00:14:16,990

Fabiana Udenio: was my passion.

392

00:14:18,522 --> 00:14:21,810

Fabiana Udenio: So she supported me, but it didn't come

393

00:14:21,870 --> 00:14:23,233

Fabiana Udenio: from her, it really came from me.

394

00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:25,024

Fabiana Udenio: And then she, of course she supported me

395

00:14:25,084 --> 00:14:30,162

Fabiana Udenio: and my sister liked writing And so I used

396

00:14:30,222 --> 00:14:30,483

Fabiana Udenio: to.

397

00:14:30,784 --> 00:14:35,596

Fabiana Udenio: When I was invited in Italy to TV shows and

398

00:14:35,637 --> 00:14:38,961

Fabiana Udenio: talk shows I used to recite her poems And

399

00:14:39,361 --> 00:14:40,163

Fabiana Udenio: so that was.

400

00:14:40,684 --> 00:14:41,846

Fabiana Udenio: She stopped doing that, but she was a

401

00:14:41,927 --> 00:14:44,331

Fabiana Udenio: really, really talented writer.

402

00:14:44,432 --> 00:14:47,981

Fabiana Udenio: For her She did road poems and things, but

403

00:14:48,042 --> 00:14:49,325

Fabiana Udenio: so my mom didn't embrace it and they'd

404

00:14:49,345 --> 00:14:50,689

Fabiana Udenio: support me, but it didn't come from her.

405

00:14:51,180 --> 00:14:53,825

Fabiana Udenio: She didn't push me, not even for the teen

406

00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:54,167

Fabiana Udenio: thing.

407

00:14:55,343 --> 00:14:57,249

Fabiana Udenio: It was my wanting to do it.

408

00:14:57,882 --> 00:14:59,307

Marc Preston: Well, where did your interest come from,

409

00:14:59,347 --> 00:14:59,507

Marc Preston: though?

410

00:15:00,020 --> 00:15:01,025

Marc Preston: What was the genesis of that?

411

00:15:01,705 --> 00:15:03,040

Marc Preston: Were you a precocious child?

412

00:15:03,141 --> 00:15:04,897

Marc Preston: I mean, were you or were you shy when you

413

00:15:04,917 --> 00:15:05,220

Marc Preston: were growing up?

414

00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,968

Fabiana Udenio: I think I was full of energy, not shy, when

415

00:15:08,008 --> 00:15:08,911

Fabiana Udenio: I was growing up.

416

00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,167

Fabiana Udenio: I think I became a little bit more shy

417

00:15:11,247 --> 00:15:15,225

Fabiana Udenio: later And I think maybe acting or

418

00:15:15,646 --> 00:15:19,693

Fabiana Udenio: performing it's always been my therapy and

419

00:15:19,753 --> 00:15:20,274

Fabiana Udenio: escape.

420

00:15:20,740 --> 00:15:24,125

Fabiana Udenio: Every time I was nothing mattered and it

421

00:15:24,185 --> 00:15:29,452

Fabiana Udenio: was catapulting me in a state of happiness

422

00:15:29,533 --> 00:15:30,254

Fabiana Udenio: and escape.

423

00:15:30,274 --> 00:15:31,375

Fabiana Udenio: It was like the great escape.

424

00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,921

Fabiana Udenio: I never did any call, it's just them, and I

425

00:15:34,961 --> 00:15:37,048

Fabiana Udenio: think it stayed that way throughout my life.

426

00:15:37,460 --> 00:15:41,131

Fabiana Udenio: It's this outlet, amazing outlet and fun,

427

00:15:41,552 --> 00:15:43,980

Fabiana Udenio: addictive escape.

428

00:15:45,104 --> 00:15:45,627

Fabiana Udenio: That's like it.

429

00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,322

Marc Preston: Well, that's the thing I coach a lot of

430

00:15:48,984 --> 00:15:49,345

Marc Preston: some students.

431

00:15:49,385 --> 00:15:52,180

Marc Preston: Even an actor is in LA on a voiceover And I

432

00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:53,504

Marc Preston: always say, when you shut the door on that

433

00:15:53,564 --> 00:15:55,911

Marc Preston: sound booth, the whole world stays outside

434

00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,244

Marc Preston: And it's just like when you're on camera.

435

00:15:57,264 --> 00:15:59,822

Marc Preston: You can disappear for a moment And to me

436

00:15:59,863 --> 00:16:00,485

Marc Preston: it's cathartic.

437

00:16:01,980 --> 00:16:03,683

Marc Preston: You can kind of disappear and use your

438

00:16:03,703 --> 00:16:05,226

Marc Preston: imagination to be more kid-like.

439

00:16:05,446 --> 00:16:07,250

Fabiana Udenio: Absolutely True.

440

00:16:07,671 --> 00:16:09,514

Fabiana Udenio: True, and I love voiceover too.

441

00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,345

Marc Preston: Oh, I noticed you did do some of that

442

00:16:11,365 --> 00:16:11,706

Marc Preston: yourself.

443

00:16:11,727 --> 00:16:11,827

Marc Preston: I did.

444

00:16:12,820 --> 00:16:14,065

Fabiana Udenio: I did a lot of it individually, but here

445

00:16:14,125 --> 00:16:17,025

Fabiana Udenio: too, and when you do voiceover, it's even

446

00:16:17,366 --> 00:16:19,211

Fabiana Udenio: more because you don't have to even, not

447

00:16:19,271 --> 00:16:20,543

Fabiana Udenio: even more or less, but you don't have to

448

00:16:20,583 --> 00:16:21,968

Fabiana Udenio: worry about your look.

449

00:16:22,140 --> 00:16:23,940

Fabiana Udenio: It's just sometimes very liberating.

450

00:16:24,241 --> 00:16:25,406

Fabiana Udenio: You know you go with it whatever.

451

00:16:26,180 --> 00:16:26,942

Fabiana Udenio: So it's a different.

452

00:16:27,122 --> 00:16:30,592

Fabiana Udenio: but I love all sides of the craft.

453

00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:31,243

Fabiana Udenio: I really do.

454

00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:33,084

Marc Preston: Did your sister follow you into

455

00:16:33,685 --> 00:16:35,109

Marc Preston: entertainment at all, or did she go a

456

00:16:35,129 --> 00:16:35,691

Marc Preston: different path?

457

00:16:36,522 --> 00:16:37,566

Fabiana Udenio: No, she went a different path.

458

00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:40,868

Fabiana Udenio: She liked traveling, so she was a flight

459

00:16:40,888 --> 00:16:44,086

Fabiana Udenio: attendant And she traveled a lot more than

460

00:16:44,146 --> 00:16:44,407

Fabiana Udenio: I did.

461

00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,305

Marc Preston: You know, my daughter, my 17-year-old,

462

00:16:47,445 --> 00:16:48,207

Marc Preston: really wants to.

463

00:16:48,268 --> 00:16:48,950

Marc Preston: She has this whole plan.

464

00:16:49,741 --> 00:16:51,386

Marc Preston: She did both her junior and senior year

465

00:16:51,426 --> 00:16:53,883

Marc Preston: together, just wrapped them up And she's

466

00:16:53,904 --> 00:16:55,965

Marc Preston: very smart And she said she wants to travel.

467

00:16:56,180 --> 00:16:58,265

Marc Preston: So she wants to do travel as a flight

468

00:16:58,305 --> 00:16:59,528

Marc Preston: attendant early.

469

00:16:59,568 --> 00:17:01,272

Marc Preston: She's smart, she's all doing my early 20s

470

00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:03,125

Marc Preston: And if I decide it's not for me, then I got

471

00:17:03,145 --> 00:17:03,607

Marc Preston: the degree.

472

00:17:03,647 --> 00:17:05,202

Marc Preston: I can go do something else, but if I like

473

00:17:05,222 --> 00:17:06,206

Marc Preston: it, i'm just going to keep doing it.

474

00:17:06,246 --> 00:17:07,089

Marc Preston: I'll have seniority.

475

00:17:08,944 --> 00:17:10,909

Marc Preston: But I grew up in Dallas, where you have

476

00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:12,942

Marc Preston: American Airlines based there, and I met

477

00:17:13,022 --> 00:17:14,441

Marc Preston: all kinds of flight attendants And I always

478

00:17:14,582 --> 00:17:15,566

Marc Preston: envied their lifestyle.

479

00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:17,326

Marc Preston: They could just go jump on a plane and go

480

00:17:17,386 --> 00:17:18,369

Marc Preston: somewhere if they wanted to.

481

00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,585

Fabiana Udenio: My sister did love it.

482

00:17:20,123 --> 00:17:21,677

Fabiana Udenio: She was based in Italy, She was working for

483

00:17:21,717 --> 00:17:25,487

Fabiana Udenio: Italy And then at Italy like many things in

484

00:17:25,547 --> 00:17:27,691

Fabiana Udenio: Italy went sort of bankrupt.

485

00:17:27,752 --> 00:17:30,064

Fabiana Udenio: So they downsized And she went into

486

00:17:30,084 --> 00:17:32,441

Fabiana Udenio: retirement from her job a little early And

487

00:17:32,461 --> 00:17:33,786

Fabiana Udenio: she missed it for a long time.

488

00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:35,744

Fabiana Udenio: I missed it too, because I used to get all

489

00:17:35,785 --> 00:17:39,094

Fabiana Udenio: these tickets, free tickets and all these

490

00:17:39,114 --> 00:17:39,475

Fabiana Udenio: perks.

491

00:17:43,547 --> 00:17:44,990

Marc Preston: The family tickets that they get.

492

00:17:45,030 --> 00:17:46,713

Fabiana Udenio: Yes, i missed it too.

493

00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,781

Fabiana Udenio: I was very spoiled for a while living here

494

00:17:49,841 --> 00:17:52,883

Fabiana Udenio: and going there just for an objection or to

495

00:17:53,203 --> 00:17:53,543

Fabiana Udenio: whatever.

496

00:18:01,191 --> 00:18:02,815

Marc Preston: Now when you came here you were doing the

497

00:18:02,855 --> 00:18:04,338

Marc Preston: thing a lot of American actors do.

498

00:18:04,726 --> 00:18:06,732

Marc Preston: They have their the kickoff of their career

499

00:18:06,852 --> 00:18:09,289

Marc Preston: on soap operas, and I remember my

500

00:18:09,349 --> 00:18:11,415

Marc Preston: grandmother when I was always over at their

501

00:18:11,455 --> 00:18:13,909

Marc Preston: house at least once a week, stay over, and

502

00:18:13,929 --> 00:18:16,655

Marc Preston: then she was watching General Hospital and

503

00:18:16,715 --> 00:18:18,560

Marc Preston: I think one life till they're That's the

504

00:18:19,141 --> 00:18:20,808

Marc Preston: one I did And yeah, and so it's like I

505

00:18:20,848 --> 00:18:22,866

Marc Preston: became very aware of the character, i mean

506

00:18:22,946 --> 00:18:25,072

Marc Preston: more than probably a eight, nine, 10 year

507

00:18:25,092 --> 00:18:25,733

Marc Preston: old kid should.

508

00:18:25,834 --> 00:18:27,828

Marc Preston: But I think that a lot of kids grew up like

509

00:18:27,869 --> 00:18:28,431

Marc Preston: that, you know.

510

00:18:28,945 --> 00:18:30,592

Marc Preston: But a lot of those actors then and I've

511

00:18:30,632 --> 00:18:33,022

Marc Preston: interviewed a number of them that you are

512

00:18:33,343 --> 00:18:34,869

Marc Preston: doing really well now that had their start

513

00:18:35,551 --> 00:18:37,829

Marc Preston: in soap opera, and the funny thing about

514

00:18:37,849 --> 00:18:39,795

Marc Preston: that is how fast you have to learn the

515

00:18:39,855 --> 00:18:40,256

Marc Preston: scripts.

516

00:18:40,445 --> 00:18:42,010

Marc Preston: I mean, were there any challenges?

517

00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:43,574

Marc Preston: when you went from doing stage to doing

518

00:18:43,615 --> 00:18:44,116

Marc Preston: soap opera?

519

00:18:44,185 --> 00:18:45,969

Marc Preston: You had got a new script frequently and you

520

00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:46,992

Marc Preston: have to learn it pretty quick.

521

00:18:47,032 --> 00:18:47,734

Marc Preston: Was that a challenge?

522

00:18:47,754 --> 00:18:48,757

Fabiana Udenio: for you, absolutely.

523

00:18:49,265 --> 00:18:51,172

Fabiana Udenio: And then the language, because they cast me

524

00:18:51,232 --> 00:18:51,614

Fabiana Udenio: in Italy.

525

00:18:52,847 --> 00:18:55,692

Fabiana Udenio: They were on location and I was supposed

526

00:18:55,712 --> 00:18:58,897

Fabiana Udenio: tothis character was supposed to be working

527

00:18:58,977 --> 00:19:03,012

Fabiana Udenio: fora couple of weeks and then they liked it

528

00:19:03,133 --> 00:19:04,557

Fabiana Udenio: and they offered me the contract.

529

00:19:04,625 --> 00:19:07,975

Fabiana Udenio: So I went well, go to New York and love the

530

00:19:07,995 --> 00:19:08,115

Fabiana Udenio: idea.

531

00:19:08,425 --> 00:19:11,111

Fabiana Udenio: But the work was hard because, yes, you do

532

00:19:11,191 --> 00:19:14,217

Fabiana Udenio: have to learn all of that fast and it was

533

00:19:14,257 --> 00:19:14,938

Fabiana Udenio: another language.

534

00:19:15,225 --> 00:19:16,813

Fabiana Udenio: So usually when you're in command of the

535

00:19:16,853 --> 00:19:18,502

Fabiana Udenio: language, if you forget a line, you kind of

536

00:19:18,542 --> 00:19:22,089

Fabiana Udenio: like work around with it, but if I forgot

537

00:19:22,129 --> 00:19:25,005

Fabiana Udenio: the line I couldn't replace it with Well,

538

00:19:25,025 --> 00:19:26,610

Fabiana Udenio: you could improv in Italian and kind of

539

00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:27,833

Fabiana Udenio: give it a little something extra.

540

00:19:27,853 --> 00:19:29,847

Fabiana Udenio: Yeah, I could, but it was a little bit more

541

00:19:29,867 --> 00:19:32,975

Fabiana Udenio: challenging because you don't have a word

542

00:19:33,015 --> 00:19:35,189

Fabiana Udenio: that you can substitute and go on with the

543

00:19:35,229 --> 00:19:37,035

Fabiana Udenio: line or work around.

544

00:19:38,290 --> 00:19:42,870

Fabiana Udenio: So it was, and it taught me it was great

545

00:19:45,735 --> 00:19:49,220

Fabiana Udenio: practice for improving the language English.

546

00:19:49,785 --> 00:19:51,349

Marc Preston: Now, summer school had to come and that was

547

00:19:51,429 --> 00:19:54,877

Marc Preston: 87, I think was that roughly 87, 86, 87.

548

00:19:55,345 --> 00:19:56,490

Marc Preston: What was filming that like?

549

00:19:56,706 --> 00:19:58,715

Marc Preston: Because me, as a Gen X kid I think anybody

550

00:19:58,795 --> 00:20:00,925

Marc Preston: listening to this who is of a similar age

551

00:20:01,045 --> 00:20:02,791

Marc Preston: to me is thinking like if I don't ask, I'm

552

00:20:02,811 --> 00:20:03,514

Marc Preston: going to get in trouble.

553

00:20:03,945 --> 00:20:07,612

Marc Preston: What was it like shooting that film that I

554

00:20:07,632 --> 00:20:08,735

Marc Preston: guess y'all shot during the summer?

555

00:20:08,895 --> 00:20:09,416

Fabiana Udenio: Absolutely.

556

00:20:09,677 --> 00:20:10,398

Fabiana Udenio: Was it the summer?

557

00:20:10,965 --> 00:20:13,911

Fabiana Udenio: It wasn't that warm, but I can't remember

558

00:20:14,573 --> 00:20:17,078

Fabiana Udenio: what time of the year, maybe late summer,

559

00:20:17,098 --> 00:20:19,497

Fabiana Udenio: or because it wasn't really hot.

560

00:20:19,538 --> 00:20:20,484

Fabiana Udenio: I remember being on the beach.

561

00:20:20,545 --> 00:20:21,829

Marc Preston: Well, then again in Southern California it

562

00:20:21,849 --> 00:20:22,932

Marc Preston: always looks like summer, right.

563

00:20:23,945 --> 00:20:25,109

Fabiana Udenio: So, but I remember what it was called and I

564

00:20:25,149 --> 00:20:27,990

Fabiana Udenio: remember I was cold, so but it could happen

565

00:20:28,010 --> 00:20:28,773

Fabiana Udenio: that it was a cold day.

566

00:20:28,845 --> 00:20:31,730

Fabiana Udenio: I just remember being cold, but it was

567

00:20:31,790 --> 00:20:32,031

Fabiana Udenio: great.

568

00:20:32,586 --> 00:20:35,654

Fabiana Udenio: Carl Reiner was like a father figure for

569

00:20:35,874 --> 00:20:36,556

Fabiana Udenio: all of us.

570

00:20:37,567 --> 00:20:40,748

Marc Preston: Oh, that's right, You only had a very small

571

00:20:40,848 --> 00:20:42,533

Marc Preston: role at the very beginning, but he directed

572

00:20:42,553 --> 00:20:42,713

Marc Preston: that.

573

00:20:42,773 --> 00:20:43,756

Marc Preston: Totally forgot about that.

574

00:20:44,065 --> 00:20:46,926

Fabiana Udenio: He directed that movie, yes, and then Frank

575

00:20:46,966 --> 00:20:51,547

Fabiana Udenio: Ling from Full House wrote it And so Carl

576

00:20:51,567 --> 00:20:54,913

Fabiana Udenio: Reiner directed it and it was just a very,

577

00:20:55,193 --> 00:21:00,808

Fabiana Udenio: very fun set to be around And you felt

578

00:21:00,848 --> 00:21:03,654

Fabiana Udenio: completely safe and he allowed us to

579

00:21:03,775 --> 00:21:07,309

Fabiana Udenio: improvise And Marc Harman was a class act,

580

00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:10,296

Fabiana Udenio: but all the kids they had a lot of fun.

581

00:21:10,336 --> 00:21:12,588

Fabiana Udenio: The two would change And we actually just

582

00:21:12,628 --> 00:21:17,659

Fabiana Udenio: had an autograph signing and they were

583

00:21:17,739 --> 00:21:21,190

Fabiana Udenio: talking about how much they were having fun

584

00:21:21,405 --> 00:21:22,347

Fabiana Udenio: And I was having fun too.

585

00:21:22,387 --> 00:21:28,502

Fabiana Udenio: But much like my character, my command of

586

00:21:28,542 --> 00:21:30,527

Fabiana Udenio: the language, especially when it's about

587

00:21:30,687 --> 00:21:33,627

Fabiana Udenio: comedy wasn't 100%, so a lot of the stuff

588

00:21:33,647 --> 00:21:35,754

Fabiana Udenio: that we're laughing about I didn't really

589

00:21:35,814 --> 00:21:39,513

Fabiana Udenio: get, and so sometimes I was feeling left

590

00:21:39,653 --> 00:21:40,957

Fabiana Udenio: out of the joke.

591

00:21:41,325 --> 00:21:43,812

Marc Preston: Well, i think that probably was what was

592

00:21:44,013 --> 00:21:45,666

Marc Preston: part of the humor of the film, like you

593

00:21:45,686 --> 00:21:47,430

Marc Preston: weren't totally getting, especially when

594

00:21:47,450 --> 00:21:49,556

Marc Preston: they were showing you the horror film.

595

00:21:50,206 --> 00:21:51,810

Marc Preston: Yes, but it was like, okay, how's she going

596

00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:52,472

Marc Preston: to digest that?

597

00:21:52,492 --> 00:21:53,555

Marc Preston: she loves it, yes.

598

00:21:55,869 --> 00:21:56,290

Fabiana Udenio: And all the.

599

00:21:56,992 --> 00:21:58,096

Fabiana Udenio: It was a talented cast.

600

00:21:58,706 --> 00:22:01,653

Fabiana Udenio: These kids were, you know, and Carl Reiner

601

00:22:01,713 --> 00:22:03,377

Fabiana Udenio: just a father figure for all.

602

00:22:03,945 --> 00:22:09,056

Fabiana Udenio: It was a really wonderful, warm, welcoming

603

00:22:09,977 --> 00:22:10,318

Fabiana Udenio: set.

604

00:22:10,805 --> 00:22:12,490

Marc Preston: I just I'm so envious you had a chance to

605

00:22:12,630 --> 00:22:14,575

Marc Preston: act with and for Carl.

606

00:22:14,595 --> 00:22:15,526

Fabiana Udenio: Reiner You know.

607

00:22:15,626 --> 00:22:17,051

Marc Preston: Everybody in his family seems to be as

608

00:22:17,432 --> 00:22:18,234

Marc Preston: talented as well.

609

00:22:18,805 --> 00:22:20,170

Marc Preston: But, so, so do you start.

610

00:22:20,190 --> 00:22:22,508

Marc Preston: Are you still recognized for that Of the

611

00:22:22,548 --> 00:22:23,351

Marc Preston: things you've done?

612

00:22:23,391 --> 00:22:25,500

Marc Preston: when people meet you, what is it that they

613

00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,407

Marc Preston: like immediately jump to?

614

00:22:27,547 --> 00:22:29,853

Marc Preston: or when it comes to things on your resume?

615

00:22:29,933 --> 00:22:32,932

Fabiana Udenio: It's so hard Sometimes you sometimes you

616

00:22:32,952 --> 00:22:34,320

Fabiana Udenio: look familiar and you don't want to go

617

00:22:34,380 --> 00:22:36,632

Fabiana Udenio: through your resume because you're just

618

00:22:36,652 --> 00:22:38,381

Fabiana Udenio: going to start going and then maybe they

619

00:22:38,421 --> 00:22:39,807

Fabiana Udenio: know you because you were shopping in the

620

00:22:39,827 --> 00:22:41,012

Fabiana Udenio: same Marcet or something.

621

00:22:42,947 --> 00:22:45,311

Fabiana Udenio: So the thing that for a while it was summer

622

00:22:45,331 --> 00:22:50,725

Fabiana Udenio: school and then it was awesome powers, so

623

00:22:50,845 --> 00:22:53,990

Fabiana Udenio: that's probably the one that.

624

00:22:56,013 --> 00:23:01,220

Fabiana Udenio: And when I'm, when I'm not dressed up or no

625

00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:03,349

Fabiana Udenio: makeup or anything, people kind of they

626

00:23:03,369 --> 00:23:05,975

Fabiana Udenio: can't quite place it because I look so

627

00:23:06,035 --> 00:23:06,376

Fabiana Udenio: different.

628

00:23:07,645 --> 00:23:11,398

Fabiana Udenio: So I mean I look, yes, so so natural that

629

00:23:11,438 --> 00:23:13,585

Fabiana Udenio: they can't quite put two and two together

630

00:23:13,685 --> 00:23:14,147

Fabiana Udenio: with that.

631

00:23:15,485 --> 00:23:19,514

Fabiana Udenio: And then some people more recently were

632

00:23:19,574 --> 00:23:21,885

Fabiana Udenio: very, very big fans of Jane Divergent, so

633

00:23:21,925 --> 00:23:27,368

Fabiana Udenio: that had a really loyal following And so

634

00:23:27,408 --> 00:23:29,895

Fabiana Udenio: they were thinking of me.

635

00:23:30,778 --> 00:23:32,222

Fabiana Udenio: They were thinking about that one when they

636

00:23:32,262 --> 00:23:33,888

Fabiana Udenio: were, when they were seeing me.

637

00:23:35,405 --> 00:23:36,830

Marc Preston: Or is there a preference you've had over

638

00:23:36,850 --> 00:23:37,151

Marc Preston: the years?

639

00:23:37,192 --> 00:23:39,279

Marc Preston: since you have had so many years of

640

00:23:39,649 --> 00:23:40,804

Marc Preston: experience, different kind of projects?

641

00:23:40,945 --> 00:23:42,612

Marc Preston: Do you prefer the comedy thing or do you

642

00:23:42,633 --> 00:23:45,364

Marc Preston: prefer more dramatic roles, or is it really

643

00:23:45,384 --> 00:23:46,509

Marc Preston: making that much of a difference to you?

644

00:23:47,005 --> 00:23:47,970

Fabiana Udenio: I prefer drama.

645

00:23:48,565 --> 00:23:52,073

Fabiana Udenio: I think comedy is really hard because you

646

00:23:52,153 --> 00:23:54,137

Fabiana Udenio: never know until you see with an audience

647

00:23:54,157 --> 00:23:55,568

Fabiana Udenio: whether it works or not.

648

00:23:57,066 --> 00:24:00,555

Fabiana Udenio: But I have a good sense of humor and I've

649

00:24:00,575 --> 00:24:01,597

Fabiana Udenio: done a lot of work in comedy.

650

00:24:01,625 --> 00:24:02,884

Fabiana Udenio: I've done a lot of work in sitcoms.

651

00:24:02,945 --> 00:24:05,991

Fabiana Udenio: I mean I was able to survive as an actor

652

00:24:06,352 --> 00:24:09,399

Fabiana Udenio: doing a lot of sitcoms comedy because it's

653

00:24:09,525 --> 00:24:11,853

Fabiana Udenio: hard to find a woman at the time.

654

00:24:12,565 --> 00:24:14,228

Fabiana Udenio: If you're attractive and you can do comedy,

655

00:24:14,248 --> 00:24:17,875

Fabiana Udenio: you can kind of find a niche.

656

00:24:20,725 --> 00:24:24,794

Fabiana Udenio: So I've abused that.

657

00:24:26,886 --> 00:24:31,158

Fabiana Udenio: But my essence is more for the drama thing.

658

00:24:31,746 --> 00:24:33,694

Marc Preston: Well, actually the first episode of Foo Bar,

659

00:24:34,176 --> 00:24:36,505

Marc Preston: you weren't really focusing on any comedy.

660

00:24:36,926 --> 00:24:38,973

Marc Preston: It was kind of you were a little serious.

661

00:24:39,845 --> 00:24:42,333

Marc Preston: We've only seen the first episode, First

662

00:24:42,393 --> 00:24:45,751

Marc Preston: episode yeah, When I'm watching TV with my

663

00:24:45,791 --> 00:24:47,456

Marc Preston: daughter, usually we have to kind of vary

00:24:47,516 --> 00:24:49,329

Marc Preston: it up One episode for daddy and then

665

00:24:49,369 --> 00:24:49,991

Marc Preston: something for her.

666

00:24:51,085 --> 00:24:52,410

Marc Preston: While she's on her phone she's half paying

667

00:24:52,430 --> 00:24:52,772

Marc Preston: attention.

668

00:24:54,208 --> 00:24:55,612

Marc Preston: Do you have any kids as well?

669

00:24:56,034 --> 00:24:56,354

Fabiana Udenio: I do.

670

00:24:57,005 --> 00:24:59,091

Fabiana Udenio: I have a lot in common with my character

671

00:24:59,111 --> 00:24:59,532

Fabiana Udenio: with Tally.

672

00:25:01,486 --> 00:25:04,852

Fabiana Udenio: I do have a son And I did for a long time.

673

00:25:04,872 --> 00:25:06,702

Fabiana Udenio: I'm single mom and divorced and for a long

674

00:25:06,742 --> 00:25:08,229

Fabiana Udenio: time I did put family first.

675

00:25:09,426 --> 00:25:16,736

Fabiana Udenio: I had to sort of prioritize how to do that

676

00:25:16,877 --> 00:25:18,599

Fabiana Udenio: if you want to delegate parenthood or if

677

00:25:18,639 --> 00:25:19,681

Fabiana Udenio: you want to do it yourself.

678

00:25:20,067 --> 00:25:20,871

Marc Preston: How old is your son?

679

00:25:21,334 --> 00:25:22,018

Fabiana Udenio: He's 17 now.

680

00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:23,365

Marc Preston: I got one of those flavors also.

681

00:25:23,485 --> 00:25:24,730

Marc Preston: I got a 17-year-old also.

682

00:25:26,207 --> 00:25:27,051

Marc Preston: So what is it like for you now?

683

00:25:27,245 --> 00:25:28,790

Marc Preston: He's probably looking at college and

684

00:25:28,830 --> 00:25:29,873

Marc Preston: looking at what's next.

685

00:25:31,709 --> 00:25:36,048

Fabiana Udenio: My son is on the autism spectrum, so that's

686

00:25:36,068 --> 00:25:37,671

Fabiana Udenio: why he took a little bit more involvement

687

00:25:38,452 --> 00:25:43,599

Fabiana Udenio: on my side to allow him to blossom and grow.

688

00:25:43,619 --> 00:25:45,067

Fabiana Udenio: Especially at the beginning, early

689

00:25:45,087 --> 00:25:48,007

Fabiana Udenio: intervention is very crucial, so I decided

690

00:25:48,048 --> 00:25:50,113

Fabiana Udenio: that that was going to be my priority.

691

00:25:52,125 --> 00:25:54,345

Fabiana Udenio: It had its challenges and amazing rewards,

692

00:25:55,248 --> 00:25:56,132

Fabiana Udenio: and so he's doing great.

693

00:25:56,625 --> 00:25:58,311

Fabiana Udenio: He loves to travel and he speaks Italian

694

709

00:26:28,365 --> 00:26:30,513

Fabiana Udenio: He was kind of a little worried that he was

710

00:26:30,533 --> 00:26:33,844

Fabiana Udenio: going to disrupt his regular schedule of

711

00:26:33,864 --> 00:26:35,530

Fabiana Udenio: him going to Italy in the summer.

712

00:26:35,590 --> 00:26:36,995

Fabiana Udenio: You know when after the school is that?

713

00:26:37,085 --> 00:26:38,468

Fabiana Udenio: So he's mostly more self.

714

00:26:38,688 --> 00:26:40,532

Fabiana Udenio: You know like, is this going to change

715

00:26:40,612 --> 00:26:41,133

Fabiana Udenio: anything?

00:26:41,194 --> 00:26:42,015

Fabiana Udenio: What is this?

717

00:26:42,075 --> 00:26:43,057

Fabiana Udenio: What is the big deal?

718

00:26:44,246 --> 00:26:45,629

Marc Preston: And so kids on the spectrum, don't they

719

00:26:45,669 --> 00:26:48,554

Marc Preston: typically thrive and really like more of a

720

00:26:48,614 --> 00:26:50,898

Marc Preston: routine, based, you know lifestyle?

721

00:26:50,978 --> 00:26:54,090

Fabiana Udenio: Yes, So when I started involving him like

722

00:26:54,170 --> 00:26:57,326

Fabiana Udenio: oh my God, we could do this in Nacapucco So

723

00:26:57,346 --> 00:26:59,431

Fabiana Udenio: because he enjoyed being in Toronto with me

724

00:26:59,532 --> 00:27:02,118

Fabiana Udenio: filming he actually and when I started

725

00:27:02,285 --> 00:27:04,755

Fabiana Udenio: involving him too much on sort of the

726

00:27:04,815 --> 00:27:07,083

Fabiana Udenio: roller coaster that could can be being an

727

00:27:07,184 --> 00:27:11,054

Fabiana Udenio: actor and auditioning, i saw that that

728

00:27:11,094 --> 00:27:11,836

Fabiana Udenio: wasn't for him.

729

00:27:12,145 --> 00:27:12,406

Fabiana Udenio: He did.

730

00:27:12,426 --> 00:27:13,709

Fabiana Udenio: You know, i better keep it.

731

00:27:13,850 --> 00:27:16,155

Fabiana Udenio: It's hard enough for me to know maybe I'll

732

00:27:16,196 --> 00:27:18,245

Fabiana Udenio: go there, maybe and maybe not.

733

00:27:18,265 --> 00:27:19,429

Fabiana Udenio: Maybe I'll get this, maybe not.

734

00:27:19,851 --> 00:27:22,782

Fabiana Udenio: That I could see that it was stressful for

735

00:27:22,862 --> 00:27:25,049

Fabiana Udenio: him to think of me, maybe and maybe not,

736

00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:27,689

Fabiana Udenio: and him being The actor's life isn't for

737

00:27:27,729 --> 00:27:28,110

Fabiana Udenio: everybody.

738

00:27:28,271 --> 00:27:31,069

739

00:27:31,089 --> 00:27:32,954

Fabiana Udenio: to do something and tell him, but not if I

740

00:27:33,315 --> 00:27:34,317

Fabiana Udenio: maybe will be doing this.

741

00:27:34,625 --> 00:27:36,691

Fabiana Udenio: Maybe I realized that that wasn't the right

742

00:27:36,972 --> 00:27:40,091

Fabiana Udenio: thing to go, and since this is such a big

743

00:27:40,172 --> 00:27:43,783

Fabiana Udenio: thing happening in my life, Well, did you

744

00:27:43,823 --> 00:27:44,465

751

00:27:54,885 --> 00:27:58,127

Fabiana Udenio: People weren't allowed on the set, So it

752

00:27:58,187 --> 00:27:59,309

754

00:28:02,115 --> 00:28:03,959

Fabiana Udenio: would have wanted to hang out on the set

755

00:28:05,287 --> 00:28:07,091

Fabiana Udenio: And I sort of missed that.

756

00:28:07,111 --> 00:28:08,675

757

00:28:08,695 --> 00:28:09,597

758

00:28:10,426 --> 00:28:14,416

781

00:28:51,793 --> 00:28:52,094

00:29:15,945 --> 00:29:17,629

Marc Preston: Italy, because I'd love watching the older

Fabiana Udenio: a lot of pasta, you know.

808

00:29:41,785 --> 00:29:43,852

Fabiana Udenio: But I've had the same weight all of my life.

809

00:29:44,565 --> 00:29:47,093

Fabiana Udenio: So she always tells me that I snack a lot

810

00:29:47,133 --> 00:29:48,476

00:35:16,265 --> 00:35:19,854

Fabiana Udenio: I did like the professional quality of the

976

00:35:19,935 --> 00:35:20,295

Fabiana Udenio: business.

977

00:35:21,085 --> 00:35:22,410

Fabiana Udenio: I liked the.

978

00:35:23,765 --> 00:35:25,426

Fabiana Udenio: It's an unpredictable business, but when I

979

00:35:25,486 --> 00:35:28,332

Fabiana Udenio: was growing up in Italy, there was a lot of

980

00:35:28,393 --> 00:35:31,326

Fabiana Udenio: nepotism and a lot of oh my God, talk about

981

00:35:31,346 --> 00:35:31,707

Fabiana Udenio: me too.

982

00:35:32,405 --> 00:35:35,778

Fabiana Udenio: You multiply that You, you, you

983

00:35:36,038 --> 00:35:37,321

Fabiana Udenio: exponentially in Italy.

984

00:35:37,782 --> 00:35:40,407

Fabiana Udenio: So I didn't like they just didn't make any.

985

00:35:40,488 --> 00:35:42,347

Fabiana Udenio: Most of the times Auditions didn't matter

986

00:35:42,367 --> 00:35:44,058

Fabiana Udenio: and it's who you know, how do you know them,

987

00:35:44,138 --> 00:35:45,463

Fabiana Udenio: and and all of that.

988

00:35:45,684 --> 00:35:48,815

Fabiana Udenio: It really didn't fly well for me here.

989

00:35:49,256 --> 00:35:51,684

Fabiana Udenio: I was finding that I was more appreciated

990

00:35:51,764 --> 00:35:55,104

Fabiana Udenio: and respected, although it wasn't my life

991

00:35:55,204 --> 00:35:55,887

Fabiana Udenio: and funny enough.

992

00:35:55,927 --> 00:35:57,473

Fabiana Udenio: So every time I would go I would work a

993

00:35:57,514 --> 00:36:00,203

Fabiana Udenio: little bit But but it didn't really click.

994

00:36:00,263 --> 00:36:01,607

Fabiana Udenio: Or I would have some great audition and

995

00:36:01,748 --> 00:36:03,173

Fabiana Udenio: somebody else would get it because there

996

00:36:03,193 --> 00:36:06,160

Fabiana Udenio: were this or that And so that kind of stung

997

00:36:06,220 --> 00:36:08,485

Fabiana Udenio: me and here it was more predictable.

998

00:36:08,505 --> 00:36:09,848

Fabiana Udenio: It was more competitive and more

999

00:36:09,868 --> 00:36:10,309

Fabiana Udenio: predictable.

Speaker:

00:36:10,335 --> 00:36:13,865

Fabiana Udenio: So I liked the business aspect and the fact

Speaker:

00:36:13,905 --> 00:36:19,982

Fabiana Udenio: that I Was respected for What it was your

Speaker:

00:36:20,023 --> 00:36:21,929

Fabiana Udenio: audition for things, and over there you

Speaker:

00:36:21,989 --> 00:36:22,230

Fabiana Udenio: don't.

Speaker:

00:36:22,450 --> 00:36:23,835

Fabiana Udenio: Oh, it did, it's different now.

Speaker:

00:36:24,116 --> 00:36:33,359

Marc Preston: Well, Well, you see, here it's, you know

Speaker:

00:36:34,061 --> 00:36:34,161

Marc Preston: it's.

Speaker:

00:36:34,422 --> 00:36:35,825

Marc Preston: It's really interesting the way things have

Speaker:

00:36:35,865 --> 00:36:38,256

Marc Preston: evolved, because when you're young You're

Speaker:

00:36:38,296 --> 00:36:40,661

Marc Preston: teens or early 20s It was different than

Speaker:

00:36:40,701 --> 00:36:40,962

Marc Preston: now.

Speaker:

00:36:41,062 --> 00:36:43,908

Marc Preston: If you have two actors of equal talent but

Speaker:

00:36:44,028 --> 00:36:47,491

Marc Preston: one has 20,000 people follow on Instagram,

Speaker:

00:36:47,511 --> 00:36:50,279

Marc Preston: another one has About 10 million, that's

Speaker:

00:36:50,299 --> 00:36:51,081

Marc Preston: gonna factor in.

Speaker:

00:36:51,141 --> 00:36:52,604

Marc Preston: It's a whole different world than it used

Speaker:

00:36:52,624 --> 00:36:54,488

Marc Preston: to be and I can't imagine having to be an

Speaker:

00:36:54,568 --> 00:36:57,079

Marc Preston: actor and working nonstop and keeping up

Speaker:

00:36:57,099 --> 00:36:58,685

Marc Preston: with social media and all that is.

Speaker:

00:37:03,677 --> 00:37:05,524

Fabiana Udenio: It's so high coffee just thinking about it

Speaker:

00:37:10,155 --> 00:37:10,657

Fabiana Udenio: Mentioning.

Speaker:

00:37:11,460 --> 00:37:13,869

Fabiana Udenio: And then I try hard and then I see someone

Speaker:

00:37:13,889 --> 00:37:16,557

Fabiana Udenio: else doing something so creative And I go

Speaker:

00:37:16,597 --> 00:37:17,399

Fabiana Udenio: how do you do that?

Speaker:

00:37:17,460 --> 00:37:18,322

Fabiana Udenio: and then I do it wrong.

Speaker:

00:37:18,342 --> 00:37:22,477

Fabiana Udenio: I mean, it's really hard and I Enjoy it.

Speaker:

00:37:22,578 --> 00:37:25,325

Fabiana Udenio: It is addictive and you've got to learn.

Speaker:

00:37:25,345 --> 00:37:26,207

Fabiana Udenio: You have to be open.

Speaker:

00:37:26,367 --> 00:37:29,320

Fabiana Udenio: But There is something sort of

Speaker:

00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,086

Fabiana Udenio: contradictory to being an actor and getting

Speaker:

00:37:32,206 --> 00:37:36,462

Fabiana Udenio: out of yourself, to having to talk about

Speaker:

00:37:36,482 --> 00:37:37,946

Fabiana Udenio: what you have for breakfast and just

Speaker:

00:37:38,026 --> 00:37:40,855

Fabiana Udenio: self-indulging, just everything that to me.

Speaker:

00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:43,055

Fabiana Udenio: But I'd rather not, i'd rather you know.

Speaker:

00:37:43,055 --> 00:37:45,384

Marc Preston: So yeah, there's that, that the mystique of

Speaker:

00:37:45,459 --> 00:37:46,276

Marc Preston: the performer.

Speaker:

00:37:46,351 --> 00:37:48,207

Marc Preston: That I think makes like you look at that a

Speaker:

00:37:48,281 --> 00:37:50,721

Marc Preston: denier or Pacino or those guys They're.

Speaker:

00:37:50,841 --> 00:37:51,523

Marc Preston: You don't see them on.

Speaker:

00:37:51,823 --> 00:37:53,367

Marc Preston: I don't assume they're on social media a

Speaker:

00:37:53,407 --> 00:37:56,021

Marc Preston: lot, but it's.

Speaker:

00:37:56,121 --> 00:37:57,755

Marc Preston: It's kind of like something we want.

Speaker:

00:37:57,795 --> 00:37:59,324

Marc Preston: I mean, we want a little bit more of the

Speaker:

00:37:59,384 --> 00:38:01,335

Marc Preston: person than just the two hours in the film

Speaker:

00:38:01,756 --> 00:38:03,723

Marc Preston: But at the same time we still like that

Speaker:

00:38:03,743 --> 00:38:04,486

Marc Preston: mystique being there.

Speaker:

00:38:04,526 --> 00:38:05,831

Fabiana Udenio: I think maybe that's part of our

Speaker:

00:38:05,871 --> 00:38:08,378

Fabiana Udenio: personalities I'm not sure, and it's not

Speaker:

00:38:08,438 --> 00:38:10,082

Fabiana Udenio: something that it's, it's not that much

Speaker:

00:38:10,162 --> 00:38:10,262

Fabiana Udenio: It's.

Speaker:

00:38:10,443 --> 00:38:12,948

Fabiana Udenio: it's more work than actually acting to have

Speaker:

00:38:13,008 --> 00:38:16,323

Fabiana Udenio: to Think about that's actually tedious for

Speaker:

00:38:16,363 --> 00:38:19,593

Fabiana Udenio: me to have to post and tag and repost, and

Speaker:

00:38:19,633 --> 00:38:22,503

Fabiana Udenio: it's, it's fun And and so you're making me

Speaker:

00:38:22,543 --> 00:38:24,189

Fabiana Udenio: feel so good right now because I have to do

Speaker:

00:38:24,209 --> 00:38:25,494

Fabiana Udenio: that with with this show and the other

Speaker:

00:38:25,694 --> 00:38:26,318

Fabiana Udenio: things I do.

Speaker:

00:38:26,399 --> 00:38:26,801

Marc Preston: I have to do.

Speaker:

00:38:26,862 --> 00:38:27,788

Marc Preston: I'm like, oh my god, I just don't want to

Speaker:

00:38:27,808 --> 00:38:28,815

Marc Preston: do what do I say?

Speaker:

00:38:29,075 --> 00:38:29,757

Marc Preston: I don't know I do.

Speaker:

00:38:29,777 --> 00:38:30,760

Marc Preston: What picture do I post?

Speaker:

00:38:30,820 --> 00:38:33,025

Marc Preston: I mean, i you know, in my dog, my 17 year

Speaker:

00:38:33,065 --> 00:38:34,168

Marc Preston: old, with the interesting thing is she

Speaker:

00:38:34,215 --> 00:38:35,298

Marc Preston: Doesn't want me taking her picture or

Speaker:

00:38:35,359 --> 00:38:36,302

Marc Preston: posting it anywhere.

Speaker:

00:38:36,382 --> 00:38:37,646

Marc Preston: She only looks, she doesn't post.

Speaker:

00:38:38,036 --> 00:38:39,579

Marc Preston: She's the anti-teenager in that way.

Speaker:

00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:41,784

Marc Preston: I was thinking the anti-influencer I want

Speaker:

00:38:41,824 --> 00:38:45,218

Marc Preston: to be an anti-influencer, which would make

Speaker:

00:38:45,278 --> 00:38:47,445

Marc Preston: you in a way, ironically, an influencer.

Speaker:

00:38:51,458 --> 00:38:53,954

Marc Preston: But one thing I'm curious about with foobar

Speaker:

00:38:53,974 --> 00:38:56,442

Marc Preston: now I want to know how that project came to

Speaker:

00:38:56,502 --> 00:38:57,806

Marc Preston: you, or did you audition for it?

Speaker:

00:38:57,835 --> 00:38:58,338

Marc Preston: Did somebody?

Speaker:

00:38:58,378 --> 00:38:59,625

Marc Preston: does somebody reach out to you say, hey, we

Speaker:

00:38:59,645 --> 00:38:59,886

Marc Preston: have this.

Speaker:

00:39:00,148 --> 00:39:01,455

Marc Preston: I think you're right for this thing.

Speaker:

00:39:01,636 --> 00:39:02,739

Marc Preston: How did that come together for you?

Speaker:

00:39:02,799 --> 00:39:06,998

Fabiana Udenio: It was an audition and it was Called at the

Speaker:

00:39:07,038 --> 00:39:08,542

Fabiana Udenio: time the untitled honor Schwarzman a

Speaker:

00:39:08,562 --> 00:39:13,918

Fabiana Udenio: project, and I was immediately Curious and

Speaker:

00:39:13,998 --> 00:39:14,761

Fabiana Udenio: attracted to it.

Speaker:

00:39:14,822 --> 00:39:18,540

Fabiana Udenio: And then There were two long scenes that I

Speaker:

00:39:18,580 --> 00:39:20,463

Fabiana Udenio: had to prepare for the audition and it was

Speaker:

00:39:20,523 --> 00:39:23,068

Fabiana Udenio: a self tape because it's the age of COVID

Speaker:

00:39:23,148 --> 00:39:25,439

Fabiana Udenio: and that's When it was going on.

Speaker:

00:39:25,459 --> 00:39:28,289

Fabiana Udenio: You know you don't need anybody and so

Speaker:

00:39:28,309 --> 00:39:28,790

Fabiana Udenio: would you.

Speaker:

00:39:28,811 --> 00:39:30,095

Marc Preston: You know an LA and LA.

Speaker:

00:39:30,255 --> 00:39:31,681

Marc Preston: That's got to be nice because you don't

Speaker:

00:39:31,701 --> 00:39:32,805

Marc Preston: have to go through driving.

Speaker:

00:39:33,066 --> 00:39:34,713

Marc Preston: And then you got to make sure that

Speaker:

00:39:34,773 --> 00:39:36,198

Marc Preston: everything's shot Right with the lighting.

Speaker:

00:39:36,218 --> 00:39:36,921

Marc Preston: You want to look at it?

Speaker:

00:39:37,062 --> 00:39:37,484

Marc Preston: look nice.

Speaker:

00:39:38,797 --> 00:39:40,363

Marc Preston: Do you like this self-tape thing or do you

Speaker:

00:39:40,443 --> 00:39:41,407

Marc Preston: do prefer to be in the room?

Speaker:

00:39:41,588 --> 00:39:42,210

Fabiana Udenio: I didn't.

Speaker:

00:39:42,351 --> 00:39:43,315

Fabiana Udenio: I'm getting used to that too.

Speaker:

00:39:43,455 --> 00:39:44,297

Fabiana Udenio: I didn't it.

Speaker:

00:39:44,798 --> 00:39:47,124

Fabiana Udenio: It's like acting in a vacuum a little bit.

Speaker:

00:39:47,204 --> 00:39:48,608

Fabiana Udenio: I, you know it's like, you don't you know

Speaker:

00:39:48,648 --> 00:39:48,788

Fabiana Udenio: like.

Speaker:

00:39:49,436 --> 00:39:51,300

Fabiana Udenio: But there are some good things too, you

Speaker:

00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:51,460

Fabiana Udenio: know.

Speaker:

00:39:51,501 --> 00:39:52,282

Fabiana Udenio: You get to see what you.

Speaker:

00:39:52,403 --> 00:39:54,547

Fabiana Udenio: I used to obsess about what I did in the

Speaker:

00:39:54,608 --> 00:39:54,928

Fabiana Udenio: audition.

Speaker:

00:39:55,015 --> 00:39:55,859

Fabiana Udenio: How did I sound?

Speaker:

00:39:56,496 --> 00:39:57,478

Fabiana Udenio: What choices did I make?

Speaker:

00:39:57,519 --> 00:39:59,063

Fabiana Udenio: did I do what I thought I did?

Speaker:

00:39:59,123 --> 00:40:00,446

Fabiana Udenio: and then you forget because you're in the

Speaker:

00:40:00,486 --> 00:40:02,343

Fabiana Udenio: moment And now I know what I do.

Speaker:

00:40:02,866 --> 00:40:06,016

Fabiana Udenio: So in a way, it's a lot easier to I liked

Speaker:

00:40:06,096 --> 00:40:06,177

Fabiana Udenio: it.

Speaker:

00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:07,900

Fabiana Udenio: If they didn't get it, if they didn't

Speaker:

00:40:08,001 --> 00:40:09,484

Fabiana Udenio: choose me, you know it's their loss,

Speaker:

00:40:09,524 --> 00:40:11,147

Fabiana Udenio: because I like what I did or I could do

Speaker:

00:40:11,187 --> 00:40:11,668

Fabiana Udenio: better next.

Speaker:

00:40:12,798 --> 00:40:15,005

Fabiana Udenio: So it's, it's a little bit more control,

Speaker:

00:40:16,537 --> 00:40:21,482

Fabiana Udenio: but I miss The in-person meetings.

Speaker:

00:40:21,582 --> 00:40:23,911

Fabiana Udenio: But so this the way football came about was

Speaker:

00:40:24,072 --> 00:40:27,281

Fabiana Udenio: a self tape, and and they gave us, they

Speaker:

00:40:27,301 --> 00:40:29,526

Fabiana Udenio: gave me some time to prepare, which was

Speaker:

00:40:29,606 --> 00:40:34,219

Fabiana Udenio: nice, and I immediately liked the character

Speaker:

00:40:34,299 --> 00:40:36,524

Fabiana Udenio: because it had a lot in common with some of

Speaker:

00:40:36,584 --> 00:40:39,999

Fabiana Udenio: that of who I am, unlike many other

Speaker:

00:40:40,019 --> 00:40:41,465

Fabiana Udenio: characters that I've done in the past

Speaker:

00:40:42,495 --> 00:40:44,883

Fabiana Udenio: romantic side, her vulnerability in

Speaker:

00:40:44,923 --> 00:40:47,780

Fabiana Udenio: strength, and The fact that she puts family

Speaker:

00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:55,297

Fabiana Udenio: first, the fact that She, she's passionate

Speaker:

00:40:55,517 --> 00:40:58,446

Fabiana Udenio: and unpredictable many things that I felt

Speaker:

00:40:58,486 --> 00:41:01,621

Fabiana Udenio: like They were, that I could draw from my

Speaker:

00:41:01,681 --> 00:41:03,226

Fabiana Udenio: own personal life, so that was nice.

Speaker:

00:41:03,816 --> 00:41:05,181

Marc Preston: Well, like I said, i've only seen the first

Speaker:

00:41:05,261 --> 00:41:06,766

Marc Preston: episode, but it seems like this is somebody,

Speaker:

00:41:06,807 --> 00:41:08,372

Marc Preston: a character, who really is holding their

Speaker:

00:41:08,492 --> 00:41:09,275

Marc Preston: own with short snagger.

Speaker:

00:41:09,455 --> 00:41:12,463

Marc Preston: She's actually in some way has, as my

Speaker:

00:41:12,483 --> 00:41:14,347

Marc Preston: people say, chutzpah, yeah, no she's, you

Speaker:

00:41:14,408 --> 00:41:14,528

Marc Preston: know.

Marc Preston: But you're, you're divorced or you're no

Speaker:

00:41:19,634 --> 00:41:21,178

Marc Preston: longer together, but you're still sort of

Speaker:

00:41:21,258 --> 00:41:21,558

Marc Preston: in a right.

Speaker:

00:41:21,579 --> 00:41:22,901

Marc Preston: You know it's kind of.

Speaker:

00:41:23,282 --> 00:41:24,726

Marc Preston: In the first episode It's not totally clear

Speaker:

00:41:24,766 --> 00:41:26,229

Marc Preston: on what this relationship is.

Speaker:

00:41:27,736 --> 00:41:32,221

Fabiana Udenio: Yes, you're so Insightful by getting all of

Speaker:

00:41:32,241 --> 00:41:33,386

Fabiana Udenio: that just from the first episode.

Speaker:

00:41:33,747 --> 00:41:35,534

Fabiana Udenio: It is true, this is the guy that wants her

Speaker:

00:41:35,555 --> 00:41:35,635

Fabiana Udenio: back.

Fabiana Udenio: knocking, you know like always there first.

Speaker:

00:41:40,788 --> 00:41:42,492

Fabiana Udenio: And then there's still this great

Speaker:

00:41:42,512 --> 00:41:43,555

Fabiana Udenio: connection that they had.

Speaker:

00:41:43,655 --> 00:41:45,709

Fabiana Udenio: They share this amazing love.

Speaker:

00:41:45,729 --> 00:41:49,140

Fabiana Udenio: They really truly Had it, but he's

Speaker:

00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:50,603

Fabiana Udenio: disappointed her so many times.

00:41:52,927 --> 00:41:57,381

Fabiana Udenio: had a lovable, irresistible but unreliable,

Speaker:

00:41:57,461 --> 00:41:58,344

Fabiana Udenio: and she's moved on.

Speaker:

00:42:00,796 --> 00:42:06,980

Fabiana Udenio: So part of the challenge was Being that

Speaker:

00:42:07,635 --> 00:42:10,008

Fabiana Udenio: Comfortable and around Arnold without

Speaker:

00:42:10,069 --> 00:42:13,383

Marc Preston: I'm like this guy is not bashful whatsoever,

Speaker:

00:42:33,728 --> 00:42:35,323

Speaker:

00:42:35,343 --> 00:42:36,129

Marc Preston: character for him.

Speaker:

00:42:38,882 --> 00:42:39,926

Marc Preston: him.

Speaker:

00:42:40,046 --> 00:42:41,230

Marc Preston: It's a different side, maybe from what

Speaker:

00:42:41,251 --> 00:42:42,334

Marc Preston: we're traditionally used to sing from you

Speaker:

00:42:42,354 --> 00:42:46,127

Marc Preston: as well, and I think that's kind of what

00:42:46,167 --> 00:42:46,769

Marc Preston: makes it fun.

Speaker:

00:42:46,809 --> 00:42:47,411

Marc Preston: It's a little bit different.

Speaker:

00:42:47,431 --> 00:42:48,274

Speaker:

00:42:48,294 --> 00:42:52,782

Speaker:

00:42:52,902 --> 00:42:54,124

Speaker:

00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:16,694

Fabiana Udenio: personality and a little bit of an

Speaker:

00:43:16,754 --> 00:43:22,082

Fabiana Udenio: emotional roller coaster And it really is a

Speaker:

00:43:22,122 --> 00:43:24,030

Fabiana Udenio: gift to get a role like this at this time.

Speaker:

00:43:24,130 --> 00:43:25,695

Fabiana Udenio: And yes, of course you.

Speaker:

00:43:26,197 --> 00:43:28,512

00:43:28,893 --> 00:43:31,620

Fabiana Udenio: seeing her daughter make her own the same

Speaker:

00:43:31,660 --> 00:43:36,482

00:43:39,022 --> 00:43:40,210

Fabiana Udenio: neglecting her relationship.

Speaker:

00:43:40,351 --> 00:43:44,387

Speaker:

00:43:48,791 --> 00:43:50,110

00:47:04,966 --> 00:47:06,392

00:50:48,857 --> 00:50:50,445

Marc Preston: It is very interesting because everybody

Speaker:

00:50:50,485 --> 00:50:51,450

Marc Preston: views a day a little bit different.

Speaker:

00:50:51,951 --> 00:50:54,017

00:51:02,972 --> 00:51:03,414

Fabiana Udenio: Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker:

00:51:04,770 --> 00:51:06,714

Marc Preston: Now, if you weren't doing what you were

Speaker:

00:51:06,754 --> 00:51:08,497

Marc Preston: doing now for a living, what you have been

Speaker:

00:51:08,517 --> 00:51:10,480

Marc Preston: you joy?

Speaker:

00:51:17,610 --> 00:51:20,756

Speaker:

00:51:20,796 --> 00:51:22,338

Fabiana Udenio: to be a lawyer and attorney.

Speaker:

00:51:23,079 --> 00:51:25,243

Fabiana Udenio: Just because you'd have to, you can defend

Speaker:

00:51:25,283 --> 00:51:25,964

Fabiana Udenio: yourself always.

Speaker:

00:51:26,490 --> 00:51:28,216

Fabiana Udenio: I mean, if I, if something I missed, it's a

Speaker:

00:51:28,256 --> 00:51:28,838

Fabiana Udenio: law degree.

Speaker:

00:51:29,711 --> 00:51:31,335

Fabiana Udenio: I've always said, you know, I wish I had a

Speaker:

00:51:31,396 --> 00:51:32,479

Fabiana Udenio: law degree for this and that.

Speaker:

00:51:33,610 --> 00:51:36,840

Fabiana Udenio: So yes, or a teacher, but an attorney would

Speaker:

00:51:36,860 --> 00:51:37,241

Fabiana Udenio: be good.

Speaker:

00:51:37,490 --> 00:51:38,517

Marc Preston: You're the only one that's ever said

Speaker:

00:51:38,557 --> 00:51:40,007

Marc Preston: attorney, but that's very, that's very

Speaker:

00:51:40,067 --> 00:51:40,450

Marc Preston: interesting to me.

Speaker:

00:51:40,731 --> 00:51:43,881

Marc Preston: I think that's being able to what you could

Speaker:

00:51:43,902 --> 00:51:45,045

Marc Preston: do for other people potentially.

Speaker:

00:51:45,065 --> 00:51:46,310

Marc Preston: I think that's a nice thing being able to

Speaker:

00:51:46,330 --> 00:51:46,430

Marc Preston: argue.

Speaker:

00:51:47,052 --> 00:51:48,671

Marc Preston: I think Tom Hanks said it best He wouldn't

Speaker:

00:51:48,691 --> 00:51:49,614

Marc Preston: want to do it because it's like doing

Speaker:

00:51:49,674 --> 00:51:51,018

Marc Preston: homework for a living, you know.

Speaker:

00:51:51,450 --> 00:51:54,238

Fabiana Udenio: True, but but it would give me such, you

Speaker:

00:51:54,278 --> 00:51:57,949

Fabiana Udenio: know, the ability to not necessarily

Speaker:

00:51:58,009 --> 00:52:00,440

Fabiana Udenio: practice it, so that mostly I was jealous

Speaker:

00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:01,184

Fabiana Udenio: of a law degree.

Speaker:

00:52:01,244 --> 00:52:02,329

Fabiana Udenio: not maybe, i don't know if I would make it

Speaker:

00:52:02,349 --> 00:52:03,815

Fabiana Udenio: good Maybe a judge.

Speaker:

00:52:04,076 --> 00:52:05,442

Fabiana Udenio: I would make a good judge because I'm very

Speaker:

00:52:05,522 --> 00:52:07,450

Fabiana Udenio: fair, but that's a lot of work.

Speaker:

00:52:07,894 --> 00:52:09,147

Marc Preston: They have those judge shows in the middle

Speaker:

00:52:09,187 --> 00:52:09,430

Marc Preston: of the day.

Speaker:

00:52:09,874 --> 00:52:11,268

Marc Preston: If they had one, we're just giving you some

Speaker:

00:52:11,329 --> 00:52:11,430

Marc Preston: ideas.

Speaker:

00:52:11,871 --> 00:52:13,976

Marc Preston: If you were a judge, I'm just saying that

Speaker:

00:52:13,996 --> 00:52:15,681

Marc Preston: could be one where you could put your own

Speaker:

00:52:15,721 --> 00:52:16,202

Marc Preston: spin on it.

Speaker:

00:52:16,450 --> 00:52:18,006

Marc Preston: That would be, that would be kind of.

Speaker:

00:52:18,066 --> 00:52:18,450

Marc Preston: I would watch it.

Speaker:

00:52:19,433 --> 00:52:22,341

Fabiana Udenio: But also like but I'm also very patient.

Speaker:

00:52:22,470 --> 00:52:24,196

Fabiana Udenio: So I think I could make a good teacher

Speaker:

00:52:24,216 --> 00:52:25,039

Fabiana Udenio: because I'm patient.

Speaker:

00:52:25,550 --> 00:52:27,115

Speaker:

00:52:27,176 --> 00:52:28,279

Speaker:

00:52:28,612 --> 00:52:29,218

Marc Preston: You know this is.

Speaker:

00:52:29,238 --> 00:52:30,389

Marc Preston: It doesn't feel like just a job you have to

Speaker:

00:52:30,410 --> 00:52:30,450

Marc Preston: do.

Speaker:

00:52:30,975 --> 00:52:32,268

Marc Preston: It seems like you're still very passionate

Fabiana Udenio: for a living, that's a gift really.

Speaker:

00:52:44,851 --> 00:52:47,577

Fabiana Udenio: And for me to have known it at an early age,

Speaker:

00:52:47,637 --> 00:52:49,241

Fabiana Udenio: i didn't have to go through that confusion

Speaker:

00:52:49,281 --> 00:52:50,343

Fabiana Udenio: in what am I going to do with my life.

00:52:53,096 --> 00:52:54,288

00:52:54,309 --> 00:52:54,430

Fabiana Udenio: or not.

Speaker:

00:52:55,135 --> 00:52:57,450

Speaker:

00:53:02,558 --> 00:53:04,703

Marc Preston: progression to kind of reintroduce you to

Speaker:

00:53:04,743 --> 00:53:06,207

00:53:10,460 --> 00:53:11,450

Marc Preston: But I have one last question.

Speaker:

00:53:11,670 --> 00:53:13,332

Marc Preston: If you were to jump into a DeLorean you

Speaker:

00:53:13,352 --> 00:53:15,195

Marc Preston: remember those DeLoreans and you were to

Speaker:

00:53:15,235 --> 00:53:18,379

Marc Preston: travel back in time, you know, and to when

Speaker:

00:53:18,399 --> 00:53:20,341

Marc Preston: you're 16 years old, and a piece of advice

Speaker:

00:53:20,361 --> 00:53:23,365

Marc Preston: you would give yourself either to make the

Speaker:

00:53:23,465 --> 00:53:25,768

Marc Preston: moment you were living in better somehow or

Speaker:

00:53:25,848 --> 00:53:27,450

Marc Preston: to put you on a better track for the future.

Speaker:

00:53:27,912 --> 00:53:30,988

Marc Preston: say?

Speaker:

00:53:44,450 --> 00:53:46,018
