Tiffany Lonsdale | Cowboy Boots & Crumpets
This week on The Story & Craft Podcast, we sit down with Tiffany Lonsdale. Growing up in both England and Dallas, she has a unique background and perspective. She’s an intriguing actor that has been gradually making a name for herself in projects such as such as the Coen Brother’s Hail, Caesar, to TV shows such as Ascension, Siren and her current role as Parissa on the FX show Snowfall. I enjoyed this chat with a talent that I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of very soon. It was a pleasure to sit down and talk story with Tiffany.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS0:07:25 - Meeting Shohreh Agdashloo0:16:11 - Acting Classes and Career Progression0:22:32 - COVID Testing and Safety on Set0:25:57 - Food Recommendations in Dallas and NOLA0:29:04 - Bilingual Iranian Actress and Career Choices0:33:42 - Film Set Tribes0:37:54 - Finding Inspiration in Acting0:43:03 - Seven QuestionsListen and subscribe on your favorite podcast app. Also, check out the show and sign up for the newsletter at www.storyandcraftpod.com. ...#podcast #interview #TiffanyLonsdale #Actor #Snowfall #SnowfallFX #FX #Ascension #Siren #acting #actorslife #storyandcraft #voiceover

Marc Preston: Where in Dallas did you grow up?
83
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,109
Tiffany Lonsdale: Like around the Park Cities area, so pretty
84
00:02:59,149 --> 00:03:01,718
Tiffany Lonsdale: central Dallas, and yeah, I went to
85
00:03:01,758 --> 00:03:06,146
Tiffany Lonsdale: elementary school there and did I, yeah,
86
00:03:06,206 --> 00:03:07,788
Tiffany Lonsdale: elementary school, and then I got sent off
87
00:03:07,828 --> 00:03:08,890
Tiffany Lonsdale: to boarding school in England.
88
00:03:09,791 --> 00:03:10,271
Marc Preston: I got to.
89
00:03:10,312 --> 00:03:12,334
Marc Preston: Yeah, I grew up, I'm a Richardson kid, so,
90
00:03:12,635 --> 00:03:15,340
Marc Preston: oh yeah, little further north than you, of
91
00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:18,469
Marc Preston: course, park Cities, real pretty area most
92
00:03:18,489 --> 00:03:18,809
Marc Preston: certainly.
93
00:03:19,961 --> 00:03:21,426
Marc Preston: You live in LA now, so you've kind of been
94
00:03:21,446 --> 00:03:21,747
Marc Preston: around.
95
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,584
Marc Preston: Where do you ultimately call home?
96
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,192
Marc Preston: Somebody says, hey, where are you from,
97
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,203
Marc Preston: where do you kind of have, where do you
98
00:03:27,223 --> 00:03:28,627
Marc Preston: feel like you have most of your roots
99
00:03:28,707 --> 00:03:29,129
Marc Preston: located?
100
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,465
Tiffany Lonsdale: It's a great question because sometimes
101
00:03:32,505 --> 00:03:35,812
Tiffany Lonsdale: I'll refer to a place like home, home.
102
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,505
Tiffany Lonsdale: I'm going home, home to LA, where I live,
103
00:03:39,086 --> 00:03:41,912
Tiffany Lonsdale: or I'm going home for the holidays to Texas,
104
00:03:42,613 --> 00:03:46,189
Tiffany Lonsdale: or I'm going back to London, which also
105
00:03:46,249 --> 00:03:47,131
Tiffany Lonsdale: feels like home.
106
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:51,687
Tiffany Lonsdale: I would say, right now it's LA, because
107
00:03:52,208 --> 00:03:54,992
Tiffany Lonsdale: I've lived here for so long and this is
108
00:03:55,032 --> 00:03:59,605
Tiffany Lonsdale: where I've anchored and built my roots.
109
00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:05,977
Tiffany Lonsdale: But my heart really has different homes in
110
00:04:06,197 --> 00:04:08,523
Tiffany Lonsdale: different cities, because I've spent so
111
00:04:08,583 --> 00:04:09,988
Tiffany Lonsdale: much time traveling and moving.
112
00:04:10,380 --> 00:04:12,666
Marc Preston: I was just speaking with Billy Magnuson and
113
00:04:12,826 --> 00:04:14,951
Marc Preston: we were talking about how he's just
114
00:04:15,011 --> 00:04:16,945
Marc Preston: constantly I think he's in his kind of
115
00:04:16,965 --> 00:04:19,316
Marc Preston: mid-30s roughly and but he's been moving
116
00:04:19,356 --> 00:04:21,042
Marc Preston: around these shooting here and there and he
117
00:04:21,062 --> 00:04:22,045
Marc Preston: said that yeah, I think he's kind of
118
00:04:22,065 --> 00:04:24,682
Marc Preston: looking for that home base vibe and I think
119
00:04:24,702 --> 00:04:26,470
Marc Preston: that's kind of one of the things that's
120
00:04:26,892 --> 00:04:28,820
Marc Preston: such a blast about being an actor is you
121
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:32,107
Marc Preston: get a chance to go places and meet people,
122
00:04:32,167 --> 00:04:33,751
Marc Preston: do things, but you're kind of always
123
00:04:33,831 --> 00:04:34,572
Marc Preston: somewhere.
124
00:04:35,601 --> 00:04:37,908
Marc Preston: Have you had any filming locations you
125
00:04:37,928 --> 00:04:39,762
Marc Preston: really enjoyed, like anywhere you've shot a
126
00:04:39,823 --> 00:04:41,247
Marc Preston: film or a TV show that you're like?
127
00:04:41,307 --> 00:04:42,370
Marc Preston: I really dig this area.
128
00:04:43,121 --> 00:04:44,344
Tiffany Lonsdale: Yes, I was hoping you were going to ask
129
00:04:44,364 --> 00:04:44,965
Tiffany Lonsdale: that question.
130
00:04:45,526 --> 00:04:47,571
Tiffany Lonsdale: Leading up to all the places that I've
131
00:04:47,591 --> 00:04:51,406
Tiffany Lonsdale: traveled, I had a wonderful six month, five
132
00:04:51,426 --> 00:04:53,631
Tiffany Lonsdale: and a half month stint in Vancouver, in
133
00:04:53,651 --> 00:04:57,808
Tiffany Lonsdale: British Columbia, shooting Siren, and I'd
134
00:04:57,888 --> 00:04:58,891
Tiffany Lonsdale: never been there before.
135
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,187
Tiffany Lonsdale: I had so many friends who had visited over
136
00:05:01,208 --> 00:05:04,820
Tiffany Lonsdale: the years, either for fun and acting work
137
00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:08,025
Tiffany Lonsdale: or non-acting work, and I had heard how
138
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:11,792
Tiffany Lonsdale: beautiful it was and it really wasn't until
139
00:05:11,852 --> 00:05:15,447
Tiffany Lonsdale: I got there that I understood what they
140
00:05:15,508 --> 00:05:15,769
Tiffany Lonsdale: meant.
141
00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:17,747
Tiffany Lonsdale: Vancouver is a beautiful city.
142
00:05:18,008 --> 00:05:20,799
Tiffany Lonsdale: British Columbia is spectacular.
143
00:05:21,382 --> 00:05:23,913
Marc Preston: I hear they shoot a lot of theater.
144
00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:26,608
Tiffany Lonsdale: Yes, they shoot a lot up there.
145
00:05:27,081 --> 00:05:31,409
Tiffany Lonsdale: I think there were something like 60 shows
146
00:05:31,810 --> 00:05:33,453
Tiffany Lonsdale: shooting when I was there.
147
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,946
Tiffany Lonsdale: It was insane.
148
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,687
Tiffany Lonsdale: I was bumping into people I knew from LA in
149
00:05:38,747 --> 00:05:41,072
Tiffany Lonsdale: Vancouver not on the same show as me.
150
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,645
Tiffany Lonsdale: It's a revolving door of executives and
151
00:05:44,705 --> 00:05:47,711
Tiffany Lonsdale: cast flying in from all over the world to
152
00:05:47,771 --> 00:05:48,532
Tiffany Lonsdale: shoot.
153
00:05:48,893 --> 00:05:49,414
Marc Preston: I've heard about it.
154
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,909
Marc Preston: I was listening to someone else's podcast
155
00:05:50,949 --> 00:05:52,400
Marc Preston: not too long ago and that person doing the
156
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,412
Marc Preston: interview was speaking and they both are
157
00:05:55,473 --> 00:05:57,260
Marc Preston: actors and they were both reminiscing that
158
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,847
Marc Preston: the time that they the last time they saw
159
00:05:59,887 --> 00:06:01,491
Marc Preston: each other, they were saying I guess
160
00:06:01,511 --> 00:06:03,083
Marc Preston: there's only a handful of hotels, but
161
00:06:03,103 --> 00:06:05,049
Marc Preston: apparently it's like one hotel or one thing
162
00:06:05,310 --> 00:06:06,784
Marc Preston: where a lot of people post up when they're
163
00:06:06,804 --> 00:06:07,627
Marc Preston: shooting in Vancouver.
164
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,624
Marc Preston: Everybody kind of mixes and it's kind of
165
00:06:09,644 --> 00:06:10,628
Marc Preston: like a micro Hollywood.
166
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:13,546
Tiffany Lonsdale: That's called the Sutton Place Hotel.
167
00:06:13,948 --> 00:06:16,546
Marc Preston: Yes, so you know it well.
168
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:19,025
Marc Preston: I did catch Ascension.
169
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,386
Marc Preston: I didn't realize it was a mini series at
170
00:06:21,426 --> 00:06:21,707
Marc Preston: first.
171
00:06:22,140 --> 00:06:22,883
Marc Preston: I thought there were actually.
172
00:06:22,923 --> 00:06:23,947
Marc Preston: I was like where did the show go?
173
00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:25,004
Marc Preston: I want to see more of it.
174
00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:27,444
Marc Preston: This is, that was such a cool concept
175
00:06:27,525 --> 00:06:28,226
Marc Preston: aesthetically.
176
00:06:28,286 --> 00:06:30,211
Marc Preston: And just where did y'all shoot that one?
177
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:34,487
Tiffany Lonsdale: We shot Ascension in beautiful Montreal, in
178
00:06:34,527 --> 00:06:37,493
Tiffany Lonsdale: Quebec, on the other side of Canada, and
179
00:06:37,533 --> 00:06:40,766
Tiffany Lonsdale: that was my first trip to Canada ever, and
180
00:06:40,906 --> 00:06:44,212
Tiffany Lonsdale: what an introduction, because it's such a
181
00:06:44,312 --> 00:06:50,691
Tiffany Lonsdale: mix of old world and new because of the
182
00:06:50,831 --> 00:06:54,205
Tiffany Lonsdale: architecture I think Montreal is, you know,
183
00:06:54,365 --> 00:06:57,111
Tiffany Lonsdale: and is one of the older, oldest cities in
184
00:06:57,532 --> 00:06:59,565
Tiffany Lonsdale: North America, along with Quebec City.
185
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,604
Marc Preston: It's definitely one of the more French of
186
00:07:01,664 --> 00:07:04,310
Marc Preston: the of the cities in Canada, you know.
187
00:07:04,350 --> 00:07:04,931
Tiffany Lonsdale: That's it.
188
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,304
Marc Preston: I hear the eating is very good up there,
189
00:07:07,345 --> 00:07:08,267
Marc Preston: though, so I definitely want to.
190
00:07:08,447 --> 00:07:10,032
Marc Preston: I mean, I go places where I can eat well.
191
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,487
Tiffany Lonsdale: I have to say it is one of the best cities
192
00:07:13,728 --> 00:07:15,993
Tiffany Lonsdale: I've ever eaten in my life.
193
00:07:16,220 --> 00:07:17,345
Tiffany Lonsdale: It was unbelievable.
194
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,365
Tiffany Lonsdale: Every restaurant, every pub, every bar,
195
00:07:20,786 --> 00:07:24,313
Tiffany Lonsdale: everywhere we went, it was very, very good.
196
00:07:25,021 --> 00:07:26,867
Marc Preston: And you're the first lady of Iranian
197
00:07:26,887 --> 00:07:28,150
Marc Preston: descent I've had a chance to chat with.
198
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,245
Marc Preston: Have you ever had a chance to meet or spend
199
00:07:30,285 --> 00:07:32,551
Marc Preston: time with my favorite Iranian actress?
200
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:34,201
Marc Preston: So I really want to speak with Shoray
201
00:07:34,241 --> 00:07:34,822
Marc Preston: Agadashlu.
202
00:07:35,501 --> 00:07:37,103
Marc Preston: Have you had a chance to meet her or spend
203
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:37,705
Marc Preston: time with her at all?
204
00:07:38,346 --> 00:07:42,233
Tiffany Lonsdale: I did once and it was early on in my career.
205
00:07:42,313 --> 00:07:47,789
Tiffany Lonsdale: I just moved to LA and someone who I knew,
206
00:07:48,090 --> 00:07:51,295
Tiffany Lonsdale: who knew someone, knew her and we shared a
207
00:07:51,335 --> 00:07:54,587
Tiffany Lonsdale: coffee together in that setting and she was
208
00:07:55,027 --> 00:07:58,855
Tiffany Lonsdale: as fabulous as you can imagine, such a
209
00:07:58,935 --> 00:08:02,742
Tiffany Lonsdale: striking human in so many ways, including
210
00:08:02,802 --> 00:08:04,385
Tiffany Lonsdale: her voice, which is very distinct.
211
00:08:08,111 --> 00:08:09,433
Marc Preston: She's got a badass elegance.
212
00:08:09,653 --> 00:08:12,057
Marc Preston: The expanse was, I think, really gave her a
213
00:08:12,097 --> 00:08:14,180
Marc Preston: chance to shine in a really cool way.
214
00:08:14,285 --> 00:08:14,947
Marc Preston: I enjoyed that.
215
00:08:15,508 --> 00:08:17,313
Marc Preston: But, like I said, you're the first lady of
216
00:08:17,373 --> 00:08:18,776
Marc Preston: Iranian descent I've had a chance to speak
217
00:08:18,816 --> 00:08:20,260
Marc Preston: with, so you beat her to the punch.
218
00:08:21,947 --> 00:08:24,710
Marc Preston: So, snowfall, it's FX.
219
00:08:24,891 --> 00:08:27,133
Marc Preston: I just caught an episode last night and
220
00:08:27,254 --> 00:08:28,976
Marc Preston: there are a couple episodes actually and
221
00:08:29,657 --> 00:08:30,358
Marc Preston: that's a series.
222
00:08:30,438 --> 00:08:32,560
Marc Preston: I didn't have a chance to really watch all
223
00:08:32,580 --> 00:08:35,489
Marc Preston: the seasons, but I was trying to pinpoint.
224
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:37,331
Marc Preston: It's got to decidedly.
225
00:08:37,352 --> 00:08:41,258
Marc Preston: I'm going to ballpark 1993-94 ish Is that
226
00:08:41,278 --> 00:08:42,940
Marc Preston: kind of where they place it roughly in time?
227
00:08:43,085 --> 00:08:45,654
Tiffany Lonsdale: Earlier, it's actually 80s, early, to mid
228
00:08:45,734 --> 00:08:46,055
Tiffany Lonsdale: 80s.
229
00:08:46,385 --> 00:08:48,851
Marc Preston: My son said well, she mentioned she's going
230
00:08:48,871 --> 00:08:49,813
Marc Preston: to go page someone.
231
00:08:50,354 --> 00:08:51,677
Marc Preston: I was like page pageers, you know.
232
00:08:52,466 --> 00:08:54,111
Marc Preston: I moved not too long ago, cleaned out my
233
00:08:54,131 --> 00:08:54,933
Marc Preston: closet, found a page.
234
00:08:54,994 --> 00:08:55,936
Marc Preston: I had to show it to my kids.
235
00:08:56,005 --> 00:08:57,249
Marc Preston: It was like they didn't know what to make
236
00:08:57,309 --> 00:08:58,333
Marc Preston: of what a pager was.
237
00:08:58,453 --> 00:09:01,390
Marc Preston: You know, and you probably never had a
238
00:09:01,430 --> 00:09:01,811
Marc Preston: pager.
239
00:09:01,831 --> 00:09:05,498
Marc Preston: So on the show you're a doctor.
240
00:09:05,865 --> 00:09:08,872
Marc Preston: But you am I right in saying that you went
241
00:09:08,992 --> 00:09:10,896
Marc Preston: legit as a doctor but used to be doing
242
00:09:10,956 --> 00:09:13,161
Marc Preston: nefarious things, as you know, working with
243
00:09:13,662 --> 00:09:14,785
Marc Preston: some not so savoury characters.
244
00:09:16,089 --> 00:09:17,273
Marc Preston: Is that a good assessment?
245
00:09:17,825 --> 00:09:18,526
Tiffany Lonsdale: Yes, both.
246
00:09:18,746 --> 00:09:23,251
Tiffany Lonsdale: So I am a trained doctor surgeon in Tehran.
247
00:09:23,432 --> 00:09:26,916
Tiffany Lonsdale: When I meet Teddy in our history which
248
00:09:27,076 --> 00:09:32,346
Tiffany Lonsdale: doesn't ever get seen on the show and
249
00:09:32,787 --> 00:09:35,811
Tiffany Lonsdale: because of our history together I leave
250
00:09:36,752 --> 00:09:41,299
Tiffany Lonsdale: Iran and move to LA, but at that time there
251
00:09:41,339 --> 00:09:43,502
Tiffany Lonsdale: wasn't an opportunity for me to transfer my
252
00:09:43,562 --> 00:09:46,848
Tiffany Lonsdale: doctoral credits to America, so I end up
253
00:09:47,449 --> 00:09:49,693
Tiffany Lonsdale: working changing bedpans in a hospital,
254
00:09:49,733 --> 00:09:52,485
Tiffany Lonsdale: completely over qualified for that job, but
255
00:09:52,505 --> 00:09:53,588
Tiffany Lonsdale: it was out of necessity.
256
00:09:53,668 --> 00:09:55,934
Tiffany Lonsdale: After the Iranian Revolution is how we
257
00:09:55,994 --> 00:09:58,480
Tiffany Lonsdale: built it, together with the showrunner,
258
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,345
Tiffany Lonsdale: dave Andron of the history.
259
00:10:01,066 --> 00:10:05,755
Tiffany Lonsdale: And so that's where you meet me as Parissa.
260
00:10:06,216 --> 00:10:10,869
Tiffany Lonsdale: After Teddy is injured, I am in a qualified
261
00:10:10,909 --> 00:10:14,114
Tiffany Lonsdale: position to help him get back on his feet,
262
00:10:14,835 --> 00:10:16,818
Tiffany Lonsdale: but in terms of my character, I'm living a
263
00:10:16,858 --> 00:10:19,562
Tiffany Lonsdale: very unfulfilled life in LA because I'm not
264
00:10:19,602 --> 00:10:21,365
Tiffany Lonsdale: allowed to practice medicine.
265
00:10:21,807 --> 00:10:23,232
Marc Preston: Is it season finale Snowfall.
266
00:10:23,827 --> 00:10:25,293
Tiffany Lonsdale: Yes, season five finale.
267
00:10:25,606 --> 00:10:27,419
Marc Preston: Do you know if there's a season six, or is
268
00:10:27,459 --> 00:10:28,385
Marc Preston: that being talked about?
269
00:10:29,287 --> 00:10:31,833
Tiffany Lonsdale: Yes, it was officially announced, I believe
270
00:10:31,893 --> 00:10:32,634
Tiffany Lonsdale: a week ago.
271
00:10:32,815 --> 00:10:34,178
Tiffany Lonsdale: Six in final season.
272
00:10:34,587 --> 00:10:35,112
Marc Preston: Is that one?
273
00:10:35,132 --> 00:10:36,385
Marc Preston: You were going to be seeing you again.
274
00:10:37,168 --> 00:10:38,974
Tiffany Lonsdale: I can't say anything either way.
275
00:10:40,188 --> 00:10:43,388
Tiffany Lonsdale: That's okay, but I look forward to yes,
276
00:10:43,488 --> 00:10:47,814
Tiffany Lonsdale: exactly, and I'm thrilled, in all
277
00:10:47,894 --> 00:10:48,675
Tiffany Lonsdale: circumstances.
278
00:10:48,776 --> 00:10:51,219
Tiffany Lonsdale: I'm thrilled that there's been a season six
279
00:10:51,299 --> 00:10:51,860
Tiffany Lonsdale: announcement.
280
00:10:52,385 --> 00:10:54,028
Marc Preston: On Ascension you know different character
281
00:10:54,328 --> 00:10:57,212
Marc Preston: and you can look over it on Siren kind of,
282
00:10:57,633 --> 00:10:58,895
Marc Preston: what kind of character were you playing on
283
00:10:58,935 --> 00:10:59,195
Marc Preston: that?
284
00:10:59,216 --> 00:11:01,199
Marc Preston: You know kind of contrast it with the other
285
00:11:01,219 --> 00:11:01,819
Marc Preston: things you've done.
286
00:11:02,846 --> 00:11:07,853
Tiffany Lonsdale: Certainly, on Ascension I was the chief
287
00:11:08,073 --> 00:11:13,541
Tiffany Lonsdale: astronomer of the ship, so it was quite a
288
00:11:13,601 --> 00:11:15,864
Tiffany Lonsdale: different function and a different time
289
00:11:15,904 --> 00:11:16,385
Tiffany Lonsdale: period as well.
290
00:11:16,645 --> 00:11:22,171
Marc Preston: We were, we had set off in the in the 60s
291
00:11:22,791 --> 00:11:26,956
Marc Preston: and so our ship was still very much in that
292
00:11:27,876 --> 00:11:31,460
Marc Preston: era because we were not in communication
293
00:11:31,780 --> 00:11:34,988
Marc Preston: with Earth anymore and like I said,
294
00:11:35,028 --> 00:11:37,632
Marc Preston: aesthetically that was such a cool show in
295
00:11:37,672 --> 00:11:39,235
Marc Preston: that regard, because everything was a
296
00:11:39,255 --> 00:11:40,978
Marc Preston: little bit of a throwback and for anybody
297
00:11:41,018 --> 00:11:43,402
Marc Preston: who hasn't seen it yet, come towards the
298
00:11:43,462 --> 00:11:45,185
Marc Preston: end I'm like wow, okay, that was not
299
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:45,365
Marc Preston: expected.
300
00:11:46,213 --> 00:11:47,365
Tiffany Lonsdale: Yes, there's quite a twist.
301
00:11:47,827 --> 00:11:49,152
Marc Preston: I wanted to see a show with a few more
302
00:11:49,212 --> 00:11:49,614
Marc Preston: seasons.
303
00:11:49,674 --> 00:11:51,220
Marc Preston: You know, it was like it kind of left me
304
00:11:51,281 --> 00:11:52,385
Marc Preston: wanting more, but I digress.
305
00:11:52,825 --> 00:11:55,448
Tiffany Lonsdale: Yes, it was really a beautiful set.
306
00:11:55,588 --> 00:11:59,051
Tiffany Lonsdale: The atrium, which you may remember, was an
307
00:11:59,351 --> 00:12:03,095
Tiffany Lonsdale: actual set, built in a warehouse where
308
00:12:03,615 --> 00:12:06,158
Tiffany Lonsdale: there's a lift and there were stairs and
309
00:12:06,298 --> 00:12:07,919
Tiffany Lonsdale: all those rooms were built out.
310
00:12:07,959 --> 00:12:09,761
Tiffany Lonsdale: So when the camera would follow us into the
311
00:12:09,841 --> 00:12:12,183
Tiffany Lonsdale: room, it was, you know, the beautiful bar
312
00:12:12,223 --> 00:12:13,084
Tiffany Lonsdale: with the piano.
313
00:12:13,164 --> 00:12:17,023
Tiffany Lonsdale: It was truly such a treat to walk on to set
314
00:12:17,083 --> 00:12:17,365
Tiffany Lonsdale: every day.
315
00:12:17,846 --> 00:12:21,730
Tiffany Lonsdale: Everything was in 60s and our clothes were
316
00:12:21,970 --> 00:12:24,714
Tiffany Lonsdale: all from there, because that was how we had
317
00:12:24,774 --> 00:12:27,617
Tiffany Lonsdale: left Earth, and the music was from there
318
00:12:27,737 --> 00:12:27,937
Tiffany Lonsdale: also.
319
00:12:27,957 --> 00:12:30,100
Tiffany Lonsdale: A lot of problems during that time also
320
00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:33,126
Tiffany Lonsdale: followed us on the ship and then segueing
321
00:12:33,186 --> 00:12:37,269
Tiffany Lonsdale: to Siren, very, very different modern day
322
00:12:37,329 --> 00:12:41,572
Tiffany Lonsdale: set in Pacific Northwest and that is, you
323
00:12:41,612 --> 00:12:45,395
Tiffany Lonsdale: know, about the legend which turned reality
324
00:12:45,475 --> 00:12:49,377
Tiffany Lonsdale: of the Mer people and the humans who lived
325
00:12:49,437 --> 00:12:53,700
Tiffany Lonsdale: there and how, as sirens, we did exist.
326
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,884
Tiffany Lonsdale: And I played the villainous Tia who, on
327
00:12:58,924 --> 00:13:01,806
Tiffany Lonsdale: season three, really shakes things up A bit
328
00:13:02,167 --> 00:13:07,532
Tiffany Lonsdale: and defends the ocean ultimately against
329
00:13:07,733 --> 00:13:10,255
Tiffany Lonsdale: everyone, against the Mer people and the
330

Tiffany Lonsdale: that was my vision for the future.
332
00:13:16,385 --> 00:13:17,727

00:13:19,610 --> 00:13:20,832
Marc Preston: going forward, though.
335
00:13:20,912 --> 00:13:21,733
Marc Preston: I mean, is there something?
336
00:13:22,374 --> 00:13:23,816
Marc Preston: Do you have anything on your kind of bucket
337
00:13:23,856 --> 00:13:26,561
Marc Preston: list that you're looking to do, as you know,
338
00:13:26,761 --> 00:13:28,063

Marc Preston: Now, whether you're on it or not, you know
341
00:13:30,508 --> 00:13:32,814
Marc Preston: there's going to be something else down the
342
00:13:32,854 --> 00:13:33,054
Marc Preston: line.
343
00:13:33,074 --> 00:13:33,976
Marc Preston: What are you looking forward to?
344
00:13:35,766 --> 00:13:39,270
Tiffany Lonsdale: I love period pieces so I you know watching

Tiffany Lonsdale: course, is the big one that's been released.
347
00:13:45,156 --> 00:13:49,840
Tiffany Lonsdale: And I have such fond memories of growing up
348
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,683
Tiffany Lonsdale: with my auntie in England on a Sunday night
349
00:13:53,324 --> 00:13:55,026
Tiffany Lonsdale: sitting down with a Mrs Mrs is going to
350
00:13:55,046 --> 00:13:57,429
Tiffany Lonsdale: sound very British, but with a crumpet and
351
00:13:57,589 --> 00:14:01,254
Tiffany Lonsdale: a cup of tea and watching what whatever you

Tiffany Lonsdale: know program was being released that day
353
00:14:05,339 --> 00:14:06,981
Tiffany Lonsdale: and really enjoying it.
354
00:14:07,341 --> 00:14:10,385
Tiffany Lonsdale: And I would love to be on a period piece.
355
00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:13,345
Tiffany Lonsdale: I would also love to be in an action movie.
356
00:14:14,006 --> 00:14:16,389
Tiffany Lonsdale: I run the gamut because I love TV and film
357
00:14:16,409 --> 00:14:16,850
Tiffany Lonsdale: so much.
358
00:14:16,950 --> 00:14:20,334
Tiffany Lonsdale: I love stories and I grew up watching
359
00:14:21,015 --> 00:14:24,119
Tiffany Lonsdale: everything so I feel connected to many
360
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,282
Tiffany Lonsdale: elements within storytelling.
361
00:14:26,543 --> 00:14:27,964
Tiffany Lonsdale: So I don't want to sound too greedy, but
362
00:14:28,004 --> 00:14:28,365
Tiffany Lonsdale: all of the above.
363
00:14:28,986 --> 00:14:30,607
Marc Preston: No, hey, you know we all have to have our
364
00:14:30,668 --> 00:14:32,610
Marc Preston: bucket list and our North Star, that thing
365
00:14:32,670 --> 00:14:33,290
Marc Preston: we want to do.
366
00:14:33,411 --> 00:14:34,772
Marc Preston: You know it's important.
367
00:14:34,832 --> 00:14:36,294
Marc Preston: You know it's our dreams, aspirations.
368
00:14:43,926 --> 00:14:45,327
Marc Preston: Now I do want to go to origin story.
369
00:14:45,367 --> 00:14:48,611
Marc Preston: Now you, I know you're folks now the day
370
00:14:48,651 --> 00:14:51,655
Marc Preston: where they at all involved in the theater
371
00:14:51,915 --> 00:14:54,118
Marc Preston: or anything artistic, or you kind of the
372
00:14:54,438 --> 00:14:55,940
Marc Preston: break in the mold, the one you know who's
373
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,041
Marc Preston: doing something different in the family.
374
00:14:58,027 --> 00:14:59,813
Tiffany Lonsdale: That would be the ladder.
375
00:15:00,054 --> 00:15:04,666
Tiffany Lonsdale: My parents were not in the arts, although
376
00:15:04,706 --> 00:15:08,629
Tiffany Lonsdale: they have a beautiful eye for artistic
377
00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:10,651
Tiffany Lonsdale: things.
378
00:15:10,791 --> 00:15:15,495
Tiffany Lonsdale: They love nature and photography and art
379
00:15:15,835 --> 00:15:16,836
Tiffany Lonsdale: and film and TV.
380
00:15:16,936 --> 00:15:19,678
Tiffany Lonsdale: So I definitely got my love of going to the
381
00:15:19,738 --> 00:15:23,101
Tiffany Lonsdale: cinema from both my parents and also, you
382
00:15:23,121 --> 00:15:24,462
Tiffany Lonsdale: know, sitting in front of the telly and
383
00:15:24,542 --> 00:15:27,764
Tiffany Lonsdale: enjoying enjoying a show and talking about
384
00:15:27,905 --> 00:15:28,005
Tiffany Lonsdale: it.
385
00:15:28,025 --> 00:15:32,088
Tiffany Lonsdale: So I'm very lucky I was introduced to that
386
00:15:32,128 --> 00:15:36,832
Tiffany Lonsdale: at a very young age and I loved it, but I
387
00:15:36,892 --> 00:15:41,255
Tiffany Lonsdale: wouldn't say I had the vocabulary as a, as
388
00:15:41,315 --> 00:15:43,937
Tiffany Lonsdale: a young child or as a teenager to
389
00:15:44,017 --> 00:15:46,259
Tiffany Lonsdale: articulate that I really would love to do
390
00:15:46,299 --> 00:15:46,579
Tiffany Lonsdale: this.
391
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,882
Tiffany Lonsdale: I really thought acting was for someone
392
00:15:50,002 --> 00:15:50,222
Tiffany Lonsdale: else.
393
00:15:50,645 --> 00:15:52,405
Tiffany Lonsdale: I thought, wow, all these people do these
394
00:15:52,445 --> 00:15:54,306
Tiffany Lonsdale: amazing things and I get to enjoy it.
395
00:15:55,126 --> 00:15:57,727
Tiffany Lonsdale: So it took me a little while and little
396
00:15:57,787 --> 00:16:04,548
Tiffany Lonsdale: confidence to find my way to it and I took
397
00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:06,489
Tiffany Lonsdale: some classes when I moved back from London
398
00:16:06,529 --> 00:16:09,730
Tiffany Lonsdale: to Dallas and I absolutely loved it and I
399
00:16:09,770 --> 00:16:10,490
Tiffany Lonsdale: started booking.
400
00:16:10,990 --> 00:16:12,515
Marc Preston: Well, naturally, I have to ask you whose
401
00:16:12,555 --> 00:16:14,581
Marc Preston: classes did you take, did you not?
402
00:16:14,730 --> 00:16:17,259
Marc Preston: I know Glenn Moore's shower is in Dallas.
403
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,555
Marc Preston: You know one of my favorite people.
404
00:16:19,431 --> 00:16:23,654
Tiffany Lonsdale: I, oh, he's wonderful and I was lucky
405
00:16:23,694 --> 00:16:27,282
Tiffany Lonsdale: enough to see him at I think it was like a
406
00:16:27,362 --> 00:16:30,120
Tiffany Lonsdale: day workshop that he was hosting and he was
407
00:16:30,904 --> 00:16:32,090
Tiffany Lonsdale: really so lovely.
408
00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:34,497
Tiffany Lonsdale: He's such a grounded human and, you know,
409
00:16:34,537 --> 00:16:35,761
Tiffany Lonsdale: has been working for years.
410
00:16:35,890 --> 00:16:38,260
Tiffany Lonsdale: It was, this was a while back but I really
411
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:41,775
Tiffany Lonsdale: enjoyed, you know, as a young actor,
412
00:16:42,016 --> 00:16:44,810
Tiffany Lonsdale: getting to see this person who had traveled
413
00:16:44,910 --> 00:16:48,321
Tiffany Lonsdale: and worked for so long in that space.
414
00:16:48,651 --> 00:16:51,459
Tiffany Lonsdale: I started acting with Michelle Condray in
415
00:16:51,740 --> 00:16:54,095
Tiffany Lonsdale: Dallas and she still teaches to this day
416
00:16:54,416 --> 00:16:57,813
Tiffany Lonsdale: and she's wonderful and I learned so much
417
00:16:57,913 --> 00:17:01,561
Tiffany Lonsdale: from her and from watching my you know my
418
00:17:01,621 --> 00:17:04,919
Tiffany Lonsdale: classmates and I love, I loved it.
419
00:17:05,191 --> 00:17:06,356
Tiffany Lonsdale: I was on a Monday afternoon.
420
00:17:06,450 --> 00:17:10,501
Tiffany Lonsdale: I would go to her class and it was so fun
421
00:17:10,570 --> 00:17:13,814
Tiffany Lonsdale: and invigorating and challenging and and I
422
00:17:14,054 --> 00:17:17,041
Tiffany Lonsdale: was booking commercials and industrials and
423
00:17:17,101 --> 00:17:21,139
Tiffany Lonsdale: voiceover and then I branched out to
424
00:17:21,419 --> 00:17:25,458
Tiffany Lonsdale: Louisiana so I would drive into Baton Rouge
425
00:17:26,100 --> 00:17:27,303
Tiffany Lonsdale: and New Orleans.
426
00:17:27,450 --> 00:17:29,397
Tiffany Lonsdale: I shot GI Joe retaliation in New.
427
00:17:29,457 --> 00:17:30,280

Tiffany Lonsdale: And picked up, you know, picked up some
430
00:17:38,817 --> 00:17:41,232
Tiffany Lonsdale: hats in New Orleans randomly, I think it's.
431
00:17:41,573 --> 00:17:43,759
Marc Preston: I think it's Paul Myers, if I remember that,
432
00:17:43,819 --> 00:17:46,576
Marc Preston: myers Hatshop, myer the Hatter, down on my
433
00:17:46,597 --> 00:17:47,038

434
00:17:47,058 --> 00:17:48,935
Tiffany Lonsdale: That's it, yes, I still have my hat there
435
00:17:49,617 --> 00:17:52,797
Tiffany Lonsdale: from there and then eventually made the
436
00:17:52,837 --> 00:17:55,772
Tiffany Lonsdale: decision to move back to LA, but this time
437
00:17:55,972 --> 00:17:57,817
Tiffany Lonsdale: as an actor, as opposed to, you know,
438
00:17:57,857 --> 00:17:59,541
Tiffany Lonsdale: spending some of my childhood here.
439
00:18:00,011 --> 00:18:01,998
Marc Preston: Actually, let me kind of rewind just a
440
00:18:02,058 --> 00:18:02,299
Marc Preston: moment.
441
00:18:02,370 --> 00:18:05,666
Marc Preston: But as far as what your parents did, or
442
00:18:05,686 --> 00:18:06,952
Marc Preston: what they do for a living, what's their
443
00:18:07,133 --> 00:18:08,317
Marc Preston: vocation and background?
444
00:18:08,530 --> 00:18:14,080
Tiffany Lonsdale: So my mom worked in PR for some years and
445
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:15,703
Tiffany Lonsdale: my dad is he.
446
00:18:16,970 --> 00:18:19,258

448
00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:22,497
Tiffany Lonsdale: and in Dallas, texas.

00:18:23,158 --> 00:18:24,010
Marc Preston: He I Buddha juice.
450
00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:25,415
Marc Preston: Now you have to lighten me on what Buddha
451
00:18:25,435 --> 00:18:26,078
Marc Preston: juice is now.
452
00:18:26,530 --> 00:18:29,356
Tiffany Lonsdale: It is 100 percent cold pressed organic
453
00:18:29,656 --> 00:18:33,804
Tiffany Lonsdale: juice and very healthy and very, very
454
00:18:33,844 --> 00:18:34,224
Tiffany Lonsdale: delicious.
455
00:18:34,451 --> 00:18:36,117
Tiffany Lonsdale: I am absolutely biased.
456
00:18:36,371 --> 00:18:38,258
Tiffany Lonsdale: I also drink a lot of juice and I love it,
457
00:18:38,791 --> 00:18:41,980
Tiffany Lonsdale: and so my dad has been an entrepreneur my
458
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,055
Tiffany Lonsdale: whole life and my mom has been an
459
00:18:46,115 --> 00:18:50,402
Tiffany Lonsdale: extraordinary director of PR, and both
460
00:18:50,522 --> 00:18:52,165
Tiffany Lonsdale: people, people, people.
461
00:18:52,350 --> 00:18:57,016
Tiffany Lonsdale: They are people, persons and I've learned a
462
00:18:57,076 --> 00:18:59,861
Tiffany Lonsdale: lot from both of them about how to
463
00:18:59,901 --> 00:19:02,954
Tiffany Lonsdale: communicate and ask questions and watch how
464
00:19:02,994 --> 00:19:05,021
Tiffany Lonsdale: they've navigated the world.
465
00:19:05,402 --> 00:19:07,429
Tiffany Lonsdale: And you know, neither of them were born in
466
00:19:07,469 --> 00:19:07,750
Tiffany Lonsdale: America.
467
00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:10,613
Tiffany Lonsdale: My mom was born in Iran, my father was born
468
00:19:10,653 --> 00:19:12,759

00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:15,957
Tiffany Lonsdale: here eventually, and now we're in England
470
00:19:15,997 --> 00:19:17,943

471
00:19:18,525 --> 00:19:18,966

479
00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:32,533

480
00:19:32,553 --> 00:19:33,636
Marc Preston: the accent was very.
481
00:19:34,660 --> 00:19:36,004
Marc Preston: I've talked to people from London like we

Tiffany Lonsdale: we got to, you know, cut out.
496
00:20:07,030 --> 00:20:08,255
Marc Preston: It's kind of like being a parent's the same
497
00:20:08,316 --> 00:20:08,497
Marc Preston: thing.
498
00:20:08,550 --> 00:20:09,533
Marc Preston: You know, you're like which.
499
00:20:10,757 --> 00:20:12,141
Marc Preston: I think the joke is now like a while.
500
00:20:12,410 --> 00:20:14,337
Marc Preston: I remember a movie from the 80s or maybe
501
00:20:14,397 --> 00:20:15,994
Marc Preston: early 90s and there I saw something on
502
00:20:16,054 --> 00:20:16,577
Marc Preston: social media.
503
00:20:16,650 --> 00:20:18,177
Marc Preston: They said, yeah, your parents from my
504
00:20:18,237 --> 00:20:19,623
Marc Preston: generation will be shown the kids something
505
00:20:19,644 --> 00:20:21,638
Marc Preston: and like freak out like, oh crap, I forgot
506
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:22,410
Marc Preston: that was in this movie.
507
00:20:22,530 --> 00:20:24,457
Marc Preston: You know, I totally forgot, like some of us
508
00:20:24,477 --> 00:20:25,019
Marc Preston: kind of racy.
509
00:20:25,531 --> 00:20:27,623
Marc Preston: You know, are they still in Dallas?
510
00:20:28,246 --> 00:20:28,870
Marc Preston: You're your father.
511
00:20:28,930 --> 00:20:31,278
Tiffany Lonsdale: Yes, some of my family is still in in Texas
512
00:20:31,378 --> 00:20:33,353
Tiffany Lonsdale: and Dallas, so I'll go back for holidays
513
00:20:33,433 --> 00:20:36,741
Tiffany Lonsdale: and see as many friends and families as I
514
00:20:36,801 --> 00:20:41,359
Tiffany Lonsdale: can, and I also have family in California
515
00:20:41,780 --> 00:20:47,794
Tiffany Lonsdale: and in London, so I'm in New York, so I am
516
00:20:47,894 --> 00:20:52,462
Tiffany Lonsdale: lucky enough to visit with people I know in
517
00:20:52,522 --> 00:20:53,705
Tiffany Lonsdale: a lot of places.
518
00:20:53,810 --> 00:20:57,657
Tiffany Lonsdale: It can be a little bit time consuming, like
519
00:20:57,717 --> 00:20:59,521
Tiffany Lonsdale: when I'm going to a city to try and catch
520
00:20:59,561 --> 00:21:00,884
Tiffany Lonsdale: up with people, especially obviously with
521
00:21:00,904 --> 00:21:01,204
Tiffany Lonsdale: COVID.
522
00:21:01,250 --> 00:21:03,217
Tiffany Lonsdale: We some, some of whom I've not seen for
523
00:21:03,257 --> 00:21:05,493
Tiffany Lonsdale: quite some time, and I really look forward
524
00:21:05,553 --> 00:21:06,756
Tiffany Lonsdale: to to seeing them.
525
00:21:07,579 --> 00:21:08,601
Marc Preston: Well, that's funny you bring that up.
526
00:21:09,170 --> 00:21:11,878
Marc Preston: I mean, I'm asking everybody, what was it
527
00:21:11,918 --> 00:21:13,242
Marc Preston: like shooting during COVID?
528
00:21:13,550 --> 00:21:15,338
Marc Preston: What was it like on set?
529
00:21:15,430 --> 00:21:17,756
Marc Preston: Was it was like, oh my God, this is just a
530
00:21:17,796 --> 00:21:19,621
Marc Preston: pain in the butt, or was it a pretty easy
531
00:21:19,701 --> 00:21:20,322
Marc Preston: flow for you?
532
00:21:21,152 --> 00:21:22,635
Tiffany Lonsdale: Well, look, I'm.
533
00:21:22,996 --> 00:21:25,141
Tiffany Lonsdale: I'm feeling very grateful that I had a job
534
00:21:25,181 --> 00:21:28,209
Tiffany Lonsdale: at all, let alone a job, you know, during
535
00:21:28,249 --> 00:21:29,456
Tiffany Lonsdale: COVID at the end of the year and then again
536
00:21:29,638 --> 00:21:30,588
Tiffany Lonsdale: at the beginning of the year.
537
00:21:31,612 --> 00:21:35,961
Tiffany Lonsdale: So I want to make sure that I preface any
538
00:21:36,021 --> 00:21:37,264
Tiffany Lonsdale: of the annoyances with it.
539
00:21:37,485 --> 00:21:39,710
Tiffany Lonsdale: Just with that, because it's less of an
540
00:21:39,730 --> 00:21:39,910
Tiffany Lonsdale: annoyance.
541
00:21:40,551 --> 00:21:41,914
Tiffany Lonsdale: It was just more of a.
542
00:21:41,954 --> 00:21:44,579
Tiffany Lonsdale: It's a challenge, because you are wearing a
543
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,828
Tiffany Lonsdale: mask from the moment you get there on set
544
00:21:49,329 --> 00:21:51,467
Tiffany Lonsdale: into your trailer Getting hair and makeup
545
00:21:51,487 --> 00:21:51,609
Tiffany Lonsdale: done.
546
00:21:53,094 --> 00:21:55,921
Tiffany Lonsdale: Then if you're getting a shuttle somewhere,
547
00:21:56,142 --> 00:21:57,887
Tiffany Lonsdale: everyone's wearing a mask and then you're
548
00:21:57,907 --> 00:21:59,030
Tiffany Lonsdale: rehearsing with a mask or a face shield on,
549
00:22:00,593 --> 00:22:03,158
Tiffany Lonsdale: and some of these scenes are intense and
550
00:22:03,298 --> 00:22:05,062
Tiffany Lonsdale: intimate and it can be very challenging,
551
00:22:05,102 --> 00:22:07,887
Tiffany Lonsdale: with a mask on and a face shield on, to
552
00:22:07,907 --> 00:22:09,190
Tiffany Lonsdale: rehearse, even logistically.
553
00:22:10,341 --> 00:22:11,190
Marc Preston: I was just about to say rehearsal.
554
00:22:12,634 --> 00:22:14,679
Marc Preston: This you know, especially the episode we
555
00:22:14,699 --> 00:22:15,340
Marc Preston: saw last night.
556
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:17,626
Marc Preston: Where you were, the fellow was shot and was
557
00:22:17,686 --> 00:22:19,210
Marc Preston: on your floor and your close quarters was.
558
00:22:21,677 --> 00:22:23,342
Marc Preston: It's how in the world can you rehearse that
559
00:22:23,362 --> 00:22:23,863
Marc Preston: without it being?
560
00:22:23,883 --> 00:22:25,708
Marc Preston: You know, maybe that's good from an acting
561
00:22:25,729 --> 00:22:26,090
Marc Preston: perspective.
562
00:22:26,755 --> 00:22:27,967
Marc Preston: Y'all don't see each other's facial
563
00:22:27,988 --> 00:22:30,057
Marc Preston: expressions, so it's a nice surprise and
564
00:22:30,097 --> 00:22:31,523
Marc Preston: real in the moment when you finally see
565
00:22:31,543 --> 00:22:31,864
Marc Preston: each other.
566
00:22:31,905 --> 00:22:34,992
Tiffany Lonsdale: Who knows, yes, absolutely, and I'll say
567
00:22:35,534 --> 00:22:37,942
Tiffany Lonsdale: I'm feeling very fortunate because we
568
00:22:38,043 --> 00:22:40,230
Tiffany Lonsdale: tested to every two days essentially.
569
00:22:40,911 --> 00:22:42,654
Tiffany Lonsdale: So if I had to go in for a wardrobe fitting
570
00:22:42,775 --> 00:22:45,419
Tiffany Lonsdale: or going on set or an in-person table read,
571
00:22:45,439 --> 00:22:47,964
Tiffany Lonsdale: we would COVID test two days before that.
572
00:22:48,490 --> 00:22:51,594
Tiffany Lonsdale: So when you got on set you did feel safe,
573
00:22:51,754 --> 00:22:54,337
Tiffany Lonsdale: knowing that everyone had been tested and
574
00:22:54,837 --> 00:22:57,560
Tiffany Lonsdale: obviously, with all the zoning now only so
575
00:22:57,580 --> 00:23:01,565
Tiffany Lonsdale: many people can be around you who have zone
576
00:23:01,585 --> 00:23:05,374
Tiffany Lonsdale: A passes and that's to make sure that if
577
00:23:05,434 --> 00:23:08,679
Tiffany Lonsdale: someone does test positive, you can isolate
578
00:23:08,719 --> 00:23:11,003
Tiffany Lonsdale: them and not have to shut everyone down.
579
00:23:11,303 --> 00:23:11,804
Marc Preston: That's so funny.
580
00:23:12,912 --> 00:23:14,134
Marc Preston: I brought this up in the last couple of
581
00:23:14,154 --> 00:23:16,219
Marc Preston: folks have spoken with, but the new.
582
00:23:16,700 --> 00:23:18,805
Marc Preston: I loved anything Judd Apatow puts out, but
583
00:23:19,025 --> 00:23:20,107
Marc Preston: the bubble on Netflix.
584
00:23:20,127 --> 00:23:21,230
Marc Preston: Have you had a chance to check it out yet?
585
00:23:21,571 --> 00:23:22,756
Tiffany Lonsdale: No, but I've seen the trailer.
586
00:23:23,370 --> 00:23:25,156
Marc Preston: Yeah, it was so funny that there was a
587
00:23:25,217 --> 00:23:28,387
Marc Preston: scene that something was disrupted on set.
588
00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:29,210
Marc Preston: I don't want to give anything away.
589
00:23:29,995 --> 00:23:31,445
Marc Preston: They're like, yeah, and it was a person who
590
00:23:31,465 --> 00:23:32,210
Marc Preston: brought us the coffees.
591
00:23:32,611 --> 00:23:34,216
Marc Preston: You know, it was like it's like all the
592
00:23:34,276 --> 00:23:35,459
Marc Preston: actors are going through his hull of blue
593
00:23:35,479 --> 00:23:36,442
Marc Preston: with the people who were bringing the
594
00:23:36,482 --> 00:23:38,147
Marc Preston: coffees apparently weren't held to the same
595
00:23:38,247 --> 00:23:39,230
Marc Preston: standard of safety.
596
00:23:40,152 --> 00:23:41,234
Marc Preston: It's just kind of, you know, it's one of
597
00:23:41,254 --> 00:23:43,538
Marc Preston: those things 10, 15, 20 years from now,
598
00:23:43,558 --> 00:23:45,521
Marc Preston: people will look back and go, wow, that was
599
00:23:45,561 --> 00:23:46,383
Marc Preston: a thing back then.
600
00:23:46,643 --> 00:23:49,275
Marc Preston: Yes, now I have to ask.
601
00:23:49,295 --> 00:23:50,779
Marc Preston: I mean, I got to go back to the Dallas
602
00:23:50,819 --> 00:23:51,641
Marc Preston: thing for one moment.
603
00:23:51,721 --> 00:23:54,328
Marc Preston: But top three places you like to eat there.
604
00:23:54,388 --> 00:23:54,989
Marc Preston: I'm all about food.
605
00:23:56,011 --> 00:23:57,334
Marc Preston: Whenever I go somewhere, it's like where I
606
00:23:57,354 --> 00:23:59,117
Marc Preston: like to go grab a bite, but kind of curious
607
00:23:59,137 --> 00:24:00,720
Marc Preston: where you, whenever you go back, you're
608
00:24:00,740 --> 00:24:02,143
Marc Preston: like I got to hit this place.
609
00:24:02,623 --> 00:24:05,984
Tiffany Lonsdale: Okay, there's a place called Spiral Diner,
610
00:24:06,205 --> 00:24:08,072
Tiffany Lonsdale: which is a vegan restaurant, that's a
611
00:24:08,293 --> 00:24:10,339
Tiffany Lonsdale: that's in the Bishop Arts District, right.
612
00:24:10,379 --> 00:24:10,640
Tiffany Lonsdale: Yeah.
613
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:12,044
Marc Preston: That's the kind I've been there.
614
00:24:12,465 --> 00:24:13,849
Marc Preston: I have to say I'm not a vegan.
615
00:24:13,869 --> 00:24:14,210
Marc Preston: I love that.
616
00:24:14,551 --> 00:24:16,416
Marc Preston: Well, I wanted to love it more.
617
00:24:16,717 --> 00:24:17,740
Marc Preston: I did, I tried.
618
00:24:18,491 --> 00:24:20,879
Marc Preston: I just like it, just I was.
619
00:24:21,340 --> 00:24:23,046
Marc Preston: I went there with someone once and I was
620
00:24:23,066 --> 00:24:25,454
Marc Preston: like it's very tasty, don't get me wrong,
621
00:24:25,474 --> 00:24:25,936
Marc Preston: but it was just.
622
00:24:26,217 --> 00:24:27,501
Marc Preston: I think you have to be introduced and work
623
00:24:27,521 --> 00:24:28,785
Marc Preston: your way into vegan before you can just
624
00:24:28,825 --> 00:24:30,210
Marc Preston: dive in and go oh, this is amazing.
625
00:24:30,755 --> 00:24:32,190
Marc Preston: So I need to give it another swing, though.
626
00:24:32,692 --> 00:24:34,499
Tiffany Lonsdale: Well, look, you're already, you're already
627
00:24:34,539 --> 00:24:36,949
Tiffany Lonsdale: part vegan if you're eating veggies, fruit
628
00:24:36,969 --> 00:24:37,190
Tiffany Lonsdale: and grains.
629
00:24:37,852 --> 00:24:40,519
Tiffany Lonsdale: So you know, don't, don't, don't worry too
630
00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:41,161
Tiffany Lonsdale: much about it.
631
00:24:41,250 --> 00:24:43,936
Tiffany Lonsdale: Just add a bit more veggie to your, to your
632
00:24:43,956 --> 00:24:45,860
Tiffany Lonsdale: plate, and that will be a good start.
633
00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:47,371
Tiffany Lonsdale: Oh yeah, I love their notch, I know.
634
00:24:47,392 --> 00:24:49,028
Marc Preston: I'm going to be at least vegetarian at some
635
00:24:49,068 --> 00:24:49,210
Marc Preston: point.
636
00:24:49,330 --> 00:24:50,957
Marc Preston: I'm I just I love animals too much.
637
00:24:51,230 --> 00:24:53,196
Marc Preston: I'm going that direction, but it's great,
638
00:24:53,277 --> 00:24:54,220
Marc Preston: it's a slow incremental.
639
00:24:54,331 --> 00:24:55,519
Marc Preston: You know, I'm going to, I'm going to not
640
00:24:55,539 --> 00:24:57,008
Marc Preston: probably land on pescetarian at some point
641
00:24:57,029 --> 00:24:57,190
Marc Preston: in time.
642
00:24:57,671 --> 00:25:00,456
Marc Preston: But so I obviously can't ask you about your
643
00:25:00,496 --> 00:25:02,079
Marc Preston: favorite barbecue place in Texas, because
644
00:25:02,099 --> 00:25:04,203
Marc Preston: that would that would work.
645
00:25:05,551 --> 00:25:06,856
Tiffany Lonsdale: I'm not the audience for that.
646
00:25:08,111 --> 00:25:11,416
Tiffany Lonsdale: I love bells, bells, b E L S E.
647
00:25:11,476 --> 00:25:14,620
Tiffany Lonsdale: That opened during the pandemic there and
648
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,140
Tiffany Lonsdale: they have.
649
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:18,245
Tiffany Lonsdale: They have a sister restaurant here in in LA
650
00:25:18,265 --> 00:25:19,106
Tiffany Lonsdale: called little pine.
651
00:25:19,792 --> 00:25:25,256
Tiffany Lonsdale: And then yes, and then I love Calajon G's,
652
00:25:25,396 --> 00:25:29,182
Tiffany Lonsdale: which is it's a vegan vegetarian restaurant
653
00:25:29,282 --> 00:25:33,434
Tiffany Lonsdale: at a Hari Krishna temple, and they have.
654
00:25:33,574 --> 00:25:37,101
Tiffany Lonsdale: Honestly, it's one of the best well buffet
655
00:25:37,301 --> 00:25:40,306
Tiffany Lonsdale: when it could be a buffet veggie,
656
00:25:41,128 --> 00:25:42,230
Tiffany Lonsdale: unbelievable food.
657
00:25:42,831 --> 00:25:44,794
Tiffany Lonsdale: I ate there for years and every time I go
658
00:25:44,834 --> 00:25:49,300
Tiffany Lonsdale: back, I, I, I go and it is absolutely some
659
00:25:49,340 --> 00:25:52,565
Tiffany Lonsdale: of the sort of cleanest, delicious tasting
660
00:25:52,645 --> 00:25:52,885
Tiffany Lonsdale: food.
661
00:25:53,892 --> 00:25:56,280
Marc Preston: You know, people who are not from or even
662
00:25:56,300 --> 00:25:57,283
Marc Preston: go to Dallas are probably going.
663
00:25:57,364 --> 00:25:58,307
Marc Preston: Really, what's all this about?
664
00:25:58,327 --> 00:25:59,230
Marc Preston: I'm I'm kind of a food nerd.
665
00:25:59,831 --> 00:26:01,454
Marc Preston: I always like to check in and find out
666
00:26:01,474 --> 00:26:02,516
Marc Preston: where people, especially if they go to
667
00:26:02,556 --> 00:26:04,159
Marc Preston: Dallas, you know or when they come to New
668
00:26:04,239 --> 00:26:06,724
Marc Preston: Orleans, they always, like they have their,
669
00:26:06,984 --> 00:26:08,787
Marc Preston: have their places and their places in New
670
00:26:08,807 --> 00:26:10,531
Marc Preston: Orleans been around a really long time, so
671
00:26:10,611 --> 00:26:11,414
Marc Preston: everybody knows them.
672
00:26:11,494 --> 00:26:14,143
Marc Preston: But but yeah, whenever I go back home I
673
00:26:14,183 --> 00:26:16,069
Marc Preston: always hit well, not too far from where you
674
00:26:16,089 --> 00:26:16,230
Marc Preston: grow up.
675
00:26:16,654 --> 00:26:18,230
Marc Preston: Campesis is always kind of on my lane.
676
00:26:19,434 --> 00:26:21,079
Tiffany Lonsdale: I've had a few pizzas there, yeah.
677
00:26:21,450 --> 00:26:24,756
Marc Preston: It's tradition, you know, but, but, and
678
00:26:24,776 --> 00:26:26,580
Marc Preston: there is actually, and I don't, there's a
679
00:26:26,620 --> 00:26:28,163
Marc Preston: place in Greenville Avenue, which I'm sure
680
00:26:28,183 --> 00:26:29,425
Marc Preston: you spend a little bit of time on, called
681
00:26:29,445 --> 00:26:32,090
Marc Preston: Teppo, the best sushi outside of maybe
682
00:26:32,110 --> 00:26:34,498
Marc Preston: Hawaii I think I've ever had anywhere.
683
00:26:34,638 --> 00:26:35,581
Marc Preston: Has it's one of those places?
684
00:26:35,621 --> 00:26:37,447
Marc Preston: Only one chef, one, you know, just a
685
00:26:37,488 --> 00:26:40,138
Marc Preston: handful of tables, it's so yes, I know it
686
00:26:40,218 --> 00:26:42,708
Marc Preston: and I'm lucky enough with with Japanese
687
00:26:42,848 --> 00:26:43,210
Marc Preston: cuisine.
688
00:26:43,571 --> 00:26:47,056
Tiffany Lonsdale: There are some beautiful roasted seasoned
689
00:26:47,137 --> 00:26:50,602
Tiffany Lonsdale: veggies and tempura and rice that I can eat
690
00:26:50,702 --> 00:26:51,884
Tiffany Lonsdale: and I get to enjoy it too.
691
00:26:52,772 --> 00:26:53,836
Marc Preston: I go back to Snowfall.
692
00:26:54,370 --> 00:26:55,551
Marc Preston: When you're presented the script of the
693
00:26:55,591 --> 00:26:57,431
Marc Preston: opportunity, what did you think about the
694
00:26:57,471 --> 00:27:00,633
Marc Preston: subject matter or the you know, you know
695
00:27:00,813 --> 00:27:02,674
Marc Preston: this is taking place, like I said in the
696
00:27:02,874 --> 00:27:04,195
Marc Preston: like what you mentioned in the 80s.
697
00:27:05,075 --> 00:27:06,559
Marc Preston: What did you think about it at the outset?
698
00:27:06,659 --> 00:27:08,463
Marc Preston: Was it was a something you could like I'm
699
00:27:08,483 --> 00:27:09,906
Marc Preston: going to take a bite out of this or was it
700
00:27:09,946 --> 00:27:11,349
Marc Preston: kind of took a little bit of schooling up
701
00:27:11,470 --> 00:27:13,274
Marc Preston: on the era or, you know, kind of had you
702
00:27:13,294 --> 00:27:13,835
Marc Preston: prepare for it?
703
00:27:14,596 --> 00:27:15,216
Tiffany Lonsdale: Yes, I'm.
704
00:27:15,677 --> 00:27:17,959
Tiffany Lonsdale: I was familiar with the show I'd not seen
705
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,444
Tiffany Lonsdale: all of the episodes by far when I was
706
00:27:22,524 --> 00:27:25,867
Tiffany Lonsdale: presented with the audition and so I
707
00:27:25,927 --> 00:27:27,609
Tiffany Lonsdale: recognized it immediately.
708
00:27:27,949 --> 00:27:30,131
Tiffany Lonsdale: And when I read the character breakdown you
709
00:27:30,151 --> 00:27:33,877
Tiffany Lonsdale: know Iranian, strong willed, drool, sense
710
00:27:33,937 --> 00:27:38,421
Tiffany Lonsdale: of humor, powerful, intelligent I was
711
00:27:38,481 --> 00:27:40,683
Tiffany Lonsdale: immediately drawn into that.
712
00:27:41,103 --> 00:27:43,585
Tiffany Lonsdale: And then I read the sides, the audition
713
00:27:43,605 --> 00:27:50,491
Tiffany Lonsdale: material, and was immediately very clear
714
00:27:50,631 --> 00:27:52,532
Tiffany Lonsdale: about who she was.
715
00:27:53,195 --> 00:27:56,117
Tiffany Lonsdale: I felt very connected with the writing and
716
00:27:56,278 --> 00:28:00,421
Tiffany Lonsdale: the audition scenes and so I watched
717
00:28:01,181 --> 00:28:04,384
Tiffany Lonsdale: episode, the final episode of season four,
718
00:28:06,345 --> 00:28:08,947
Tiffany Lonsdale: which was the last one available to watch
719
00:28:09,007 --> 00:28:11,629
Tiffany Lonsdale: on Hulu at that time in preparation.
720
00:28:11,669 --> 00:28:13,750
Tiffany Lonsdale: But I was actually getting on a flight the
721
00:28:13,851 --> 00:28:16,553
Tiffany Lonsdale: next day after I got the audition material.
722
00:28:16,835 --> 00:28:21,019
Tiffany Lonsdale: So I prepped on the plane behind my covert
723
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,805
Tiffany Lonsdale: mask and listening to Gugush, who is a huge
724
00:28:26,866 --> 00:28:30,309
Tiffany Lonsdale: Iranian singer, especially from 6070s, 80s.
725
00:28:30,389 --> 00:28:31,771
Tiffany Lonsdale: So very time appropriate.
726
00:28:32,935 --> 00:28:35,258
Tiffany Lonsdale: And you know I was muttering to myself
727
00:28:35,298 --> 00:28:38,301
Tiffany Lonsdale: behind the mask on this plane and really
728
00:28:38,381 --> 00:28:41,024
Tiffany Lonsdale: enjoyed working on the audition material.
729
00:28:41,124 --> 00:28:43,547
Tiffany Lonsdale: It's a little spicy, it's fun, it's very
730
00:28:43,627 --> 00:28:46,070
Tiffany Lonsdale: drool and I love all of those
731
00:28:46,110 --> 00:28:47,051
Tiffany Lonsdale: characteristics.
732
00:28:48,095 --> 00:28:52,540
Tiffany Lonsdale: So then taped it and really felt I'd had a
733
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,823
Tiffany Lonsdale: lot of fun in the audition, not knowing, of
734
00:28:55,883 --> 00:28:57,665
Tiffany Lonsdale: course, what the future held.
735
00:28:58,046 --> 00:29:00,829
Tiffany Lonsdale: And so I was very happy to send it off to
736
00:29:00,869 --> 00:29:03,271
Tiffany Lonsdale: my reps, feeling like I'd had a lot of fun
737
00:29:03,311 --> 00:29:03,592
Tiffany Lonsdale: with it.
738
00:29:04,356 --> 00:29:05,297
Marc Preston: Now the dial up.
739
00:29:05,317 --> 00:29:07,099
Marc Preston: Course you have to have an Iranian dialect.
740
00:29:07,619 --> 00:29:08,280
Marc Preston: Were you just on?
741
00:29:08,540 --> 00:29:10,242
Marc Preston: Were you just channeling your mother at
742
00:29:10,262 --> 00:29:11,744
Marc Preston: that point in time, just trying to bring
743
00:29:11,864 --> 00:29:13,145
Marc Preston: some of her dialect, or were you just?
744
00:29:13,826 --> 00:29:16,409
Marc Preston: Was your ear already tuned to the you know
745
00:29:16,429 --> 00:29:19,176
Marc Preston: how Iranians in America sound, or were you
746
00:29:19,196 --> 00:29:20,339
Marc Preston: like, okay, I'm going to be my mother in
747
00:29:20,359 --> 00:29:20,760
Marc Preston: this thing?
748
00:29:24,356 --> 00:29:27,698
Tiffany Lonsdale: Look, I was brought up around.
749
00:29:27,958 --> 00:29:31,080
Tiffany Lonsdale: You know many Iranians who speak English,
750
00:29:31,661 --> 00:29:36,564
Tiffany Lonsdale: and so it's different than an Iranian who
751
00:29:36,824 --> 00:29:37,865
Tiffany Lonsdale: was born.
752
00:29:38,645 --> 00:29:41,948
Tiffany Lonsdale: That kind of dialect is different from
753
00:29:41,988 --> 00:29:44,870
Tiffany Lonsdale: someone who was born in Iran, who was
754
00:29:44,930 --> 00:29:45,790
Tiffany Lonsdale: brought up speaking first.
755
00:29:45,810 --> 00:29:47,732
Tiffany Lonsdale: He first then maybe moved to America when
756
00:29:47,752 --> 00:29:49,473
Tiffany Lonsdale: they were a child and then adapted to
757
00:29:49,835 --> 00:29:50,656
Tiffany Lonsdale: English.
758
00:29:50,796 --> 00:29:54,239
Tiffany Lonsdale: As Parissa, I was born and bred in Tehran
759
00:29:54,759 --> 00:29:57,762
Tiffany Lonsdale: and learned English there and then would
760
00:29:57,782 --> 00:29:59,964
Tiffany Lonsdale: speak English here, which is again also
761
00:30:00,244 --> 00:30:01,025
Tiffany Lonsdale: very different.
762
00:30:01,285 --> 00:30:04,648
Tiffany Lonsdale: So I had an advantage of thinking about my
763
00:30:04,709 --> 00:30:07,271
Tiffany Lonsdale: grandmother and my great aunts and how they
764
00:30:07,371 --> 00:30:13,002
Tiffany Lonsdale: spoke and I really just channeled all of
765
00:30:13,082 --> 00:30:16,087
Tiffany Lonsdale: them to some extent and then my own
766
00:30:16,287 --> 00:30:17,389
Tiffany Lonsdale: interpretation of them.
767
00:30:17,975 --> 00:30:20,741
Marc Preston: Now, do you get any notes or critique from
768
00:30:20,762 --> 00:30:22,846
Marc Preston: your family on the character at all?
769
00:30:23,835 --> 00:30:27,764
Tiffany Lonsdale: I haven't yet and I will not be asking for
770
00:30:27,804 --> 00:30:28,125
Tiffany Lonsdale: that.
771
00:30:28,245 --> 00:30:29,628
Tiffany Lonsdale: So no, not yet.
772
00:30:37,382 --> 00:30:38,644
Marc Preston: Kind of going back when you were planning
773
00:30:38,744 --> 00:30:41,326
Marc Preston: on, when you were obviously you were kind
774
00:30:41,366 --> 00:30:43,228
Marc Preston: of wired up like this, this whole acting
775
00:30:43,288 --> 00:30:45,511
Marc Preston: thing, this was on your mind, but was
776
00:30:45,571 --> 00:30:47,258
Marc Preston: something else in your mind also, you know,
777
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:49,818
Marc Preston: I think, was it called a fallback or
778
00:30:49,858 --> 00:30:51,394
Marc Preston: something else that you were maybe planning
779
00:30:51,474 --> 00:30:53,596
Marc Preston: on doing, or, before you fully committed to
780
00:30:53,677 --> 00:30:56,096
Marc Preston: acting, what was kind of on your agenda,
781
00:30:56,137 --> 00:30:56,759
Marc Preston: career wise?
782
00:30:57,690 --> 00:31:00,699
Tiffany Lonsdale: I actually started with the fallback career
783
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:01,181
Tiffany Lonsdale: first.
784
00:31:01,270 --> 00:31:04,217
Tiffany Lonsdale: Funnily enough, I was in production for
785
00:31:04,277 --> 00:31:04,899
Tiffany Lonsdale: many years.
786
00:31:05,150 --> 00:31:08,556
Tiffany Lonsdale: I worked for MTV in London and I worked in
787
00:31:08,596 --> 00:31:09,599
Tiffany Lonsdale: live music events.
788
00:31:09,690 --> 00:31:11,577
Tiffany Lonsdale: I was in the talent and music department
789
00:31:12,111 --> 00:31:14,879
Tiffany Lonsdale: and I love the logistical challenges that
790
00:31:14,939 --> 00:31:15,300
Tiffany Lonsdale: brought.
791
00:31:16,010 --> 00:31:19,671
Tiffany Lonsdale: My left side brain was challenged daily and
792
00:31:19,892 --> 00:31:24,111
Tiffany Lonsdale: of course, being at MTV was so much fun and
793
00:31:24,191 --> 00:31:25,918
Tiffany Lonsdale: all the music that came through.
794
00:31:26,351 --> 00:31:29,513
Tiffany Lonsdale: And because I was in London we worked with
795
00:31:30,134 --> 00:31:33,242
Tiffany Lonsdale: all of Europe and international talents.
796
00:31:33,370 --> 00:31:37,281
Marc Preston: Now is MTV over there still like MTV used
797
00:31:37,301 --> 00:31:37,521
Marc Preston: to be?
798
00:31:37,630 --> 00:31:39,216
Marc Preston: I think it's like I remember when I worked
799
00:31:39,257 --> 00:31:40,554
Marc Preston: in radio years and years ago.
800
00:31:40,890 --> 00:31:42,958
Marc Preston: It was like this thing you had to watch MTV
801
00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:47,111
Marc Preston: because MTV was the cultural touchstone for
802
00:31:47,151 --> 00:31:50,334
Marc Preston: what was going to be happening, be it music,
803
00:31:50,675 --> 00:31:53,872
Marc Preston: trends, slang, everything you had to be
804
00:31:53,912 --> 00:31:55,934
Marc Preston: dialed in MTV if you were trying to
805
00:31:55,974 --> 00:31:58,377
Marc Preston: communicate with a contemporary audience.
806
00:31:59,810 --> 00:32:01,036
Marc Preston: Is it still like that in Europe?
807
00:32:01,130 --> 00:32:02,697
Marc Preston: Because it certainly kind of shifted.
808
00:32:02,730 --> 00:32:04,135
Marc Preston: I don't even think there are videos anymore
809
00:32:04,156 --> 00:32:04,718
Marc Preston: in music TV.
810
00:32:04,870 --> 00:32:05,693
Marc Preston: What's it like in London?
811
00:32:06,770 --> 00:32:09,398
Tiffany Lonsdale: Well, it's been a minute since I've worked
812
00:32:09,479 --> 00:32:11,771
Tiffany Lonsdale: there, but from what I can recall, it was
813
00:32:11,811 --> 00:32:16,292
Tiffany Lonsdale: still very much part of the zeitgeist and
814
00:32:17,154 --> 00:32:22,911
Tiffany Lonsdale: it was such a joy to see in person how it
815
00:32:22,971 --> 00:32:26,891
Tiffany Lonsdale: was growing along with the technology that
816
00:32:26,971 --> 00:32:29,399
Tiffany Lonsdale: we know today and combining it.
817
00:32:30,031 --> 00:32:34,081
Tiffany Lonsdale: And we had an office at that time in Oxford
818
00:32:34,121 --> 00:32:36,476
Tiffany Lonsdale: Street and now everything I believe is in
819
00:32:36,517 --> 00:32:40,077
Tiffany Lonsdale: Camden Town and it was just very vibrant,
820
00:32:40,157 --> 00:32:44,498
Tiffany Lonsdale: very alive, and I loved working with the
821
00:32:44,539 --> 00:32:47,336
Tiffany Lonsdale: talent and in production.
822
00:32:47,456 --> 00:32:49,953
Tiffany Lonsdale: There was never a dull moment, as you know,
823
00:32:50,254 --> 00:32:53,396
Tiffany Lonsdale: in this industry, whether it's music, live
824
00:32:53,456 --> 00:32:58,534
Tiffany Lonsdale: events, theater, voiceover, all of it and I
825
00:32:58,634 --> 00:32:59,759
Tiffany Lonsdale: really enjoyed it.
826
00:32:59,930 --> 00:33:04,241
Tiffany Lonsdale: But there slowly came a point where I was
827
00:33:04,361 --> 00:33:07,270
Tiffany Lonsdale: questioning what I really wanted to do and
828
00:33:07,330 --> 00:33:09,858
Tiffany Lonsdale: I would see the talent in front of the
829
00:33:09,898 --> 00:33:13,918
Tiffany Lonsdale: camera and feel a tug in my heart that
830
00:33:13,959 --> 00:33:15,282
Tiffany Lonsdale: maybe I wanted to do that.
831
00:33:15,410 --> 00:33:18,972
Tiffany Lonsdale: But when you're behind the camera it's very
832
00:33:19,053 --> 00:33:23,784
Tiffany Lonsdale: hard to see and say anything like that,
833
00:33:23,930 --> 00:33:26,860
Tiffany Lonsdale: because you're hired to do a certain job
834
00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:28,676
Tiffany Lonsdale: behind the camera, behind the scenes,
835
00:33:29,157 --> 00:33:31,771
Tiffany Lonsdale: backstage, whatever the case may be, and
836
00:33:31,811 --> 00:33:33,070
Tiffany Lonsdale: the people in front of the camera have
837
00:33:33,111 --> 00:33:36,211
Tiffany Lonsdale: worked very hard to get there and they
838
00:33:36,232 --> 00:33:38,479
Tiffany Lonsdale: would just feel, they felt like a chasm.
839
00:33:38,731 --> 00:33:41,265
Tiffany Lonsdale: I just did not see myself getting there.
840
00:33:41,406 --> 00:33:42,170
Marc Preston: So I don't think I could.
841
00:33:42,190 --> 00:33:43,073
Marc Preston: It didn't seem like there's different
842
00:33:43,113 --> 00:33:44,198
Marc Preston: tribes when you're on a set.
843
00:33:44,570 --> 00:33:45,951
Marc Preston: There's a tribe that's on camera, a tribe,
844
00:33:45,971 --> 00:33:47,516
Marc Preston: that's the kind of the corporate tribe, if
845
00:33:47,537 --> 00:33:48,339
Marc Preston: you will, floating about.
846
00:33:49,012 --> 00:33:50,578
Marc Preston: Then you have the people doing the heavy
847
00:33:50,638 --> 00:33:52,496
Marc Preston: lifting, all the PAs and all that you know.
848
00:33:53,011 --> 00:33:55,010
Marc Preston: Oh absolutely Whenever I act in anything, I
849
00:33:55,031 --> 00:33:56,075
Marc Preston: always just want to know what everybody
850
00:33:56,156 --> 00:33:56,376
Marc Preston: does.
851
00:33:56,510 --> 00:33:58,756
Marc Preston: I'm like curious about how did you end up
852
00:33:58,796 --> 00:33:59,458
Marc Preston: doing this thing?
853
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,230
Marc Preston: And they all know each other because
854
00:34:01,251 --> 00:34:02,616
Marc Preston: they're all moving from project to project
855
00:34:02,636 --> 00:34:04,295
Marc Preston: to project, in terms of film at least I
856
00:34:04,335 --> 00:34:04,456
Marc Preston: know.
857
00:34:05,010 --> 00:34:07,613
Marc Preston: So you got that tug, that feeling like okay,
858
00:34:08,175 --> 00:34:09,139
Marc Preston: this is a thing for me.
859
00:34:09,551 --> 00:34:11,398
Marc Preston: So did that incrementally, just like you to
860
00:34:11,438 --> 00:34:13,136
Marc Preston: start, kind of not necessarily losing
861
00:34:13,196 --> 00:34:14,514
Marc Preston: interest for behind the camera.
862
00:34:15,150 --> 00:34:17,298
Marc Preston: But were you just dumping a whole lot of
863
00:34:17,318 --> 00:34:19,317
Marc Preston: energy into just like how do I do this
864
00:34:19,377 --> 00:34:19,558
Marc Preston: thing?
865
00:34:19,831 --> 00:34:20,815
Marc Preston: Was that kind of your process?
866
00:34:21,510 --> 00:34:27,124
Tiffany Lonsdale: It started to, the tug became more like a
867
00:34:27,204 --> 00:34:30,459
Tiffany Lonsdale: pull and it got louder and stronger.
868
00:34:31,733 --> 00:34:35,322
Tiffany Lonsdale: And then I left London and decided to move
869
00:34:35,362 --> 00:34:38,419
Tiffany Lonsdale: back to the States to be closer to my
870
00:34:38,479 --> 00:34:40,154
Tiffany Lonsdale: family, because I'd been away for quite
871
00:34:40,195 --> 00:34:40,837
Tiffany Lonsdale: some time.
872
00:34:41,971 --> 00:34:49,329
Tiffany Lonsdale: And I then decided to quit everything I was
873
00:34:49,349 --> 00:34:55,340
Tiffany Lonsdale: doing and signed with an agent for
874
00:34:55,381 --> 00:34:58,452
Tiffany Lonsdale: voiceover in Dallas, linda McAllister, and
875
00:34:58,613 --> 00:34:59,215
Tiffany Lonsdale: I know that name.
876
00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:00,775
Tiffany Lonsdale: Oh, she's wonderful.
877
00:35:00,890 --> 00:35:02,114
Tiffany Lonsdale: She was my first agent.
878
00:35:02,274 --> 00:35:04,420
Tiffany Lonsdale: Such a lovely human being.
879
00:35:04,730 --> 00:35:06,310
Marc Preston: That's a little bit of a flashback my
880
00:35:06,350 --> 00:35:07,574
Marc Preston: mentor and voiceover.
881
00:35:07,614 --> 00:35:09,680
Marc Preston: I'm going back like 30 years ago.
882
00:35:10,872 --> 00:35:13,092
Marc Preston: He was with, I think, campbell agency and I
883
00:35:13,132 --> 00:35:14,953
Marc Preston: saw a lot of these names are still around
884
00:35:14,974 --> 00:35:15,415
Marc Preston: in the Dallas area.
885
00:35:16,914 --> 00:35:17,878
Tiffany Lonsdale: Still going strong.
886
00:35:17,898 --> 00:35:21,760
Tiffany Lonsdale: You know they really have grounded
887
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,137
Tiffany Lonsdale: themselves in the Dallas Texas Marcets and
888
00:35:25,177 --> 00:35:29,297
Tiffany Lonsdale: beyond for some of them and they really all
889
00:35:29,357 --> 00:35:32,613
Tiffany Lonsdale: of the agencies there in my experience were
890
00:35:32,734 --> 00:35:35,213
Tiffany Lonsdale: all so lovely and kind, whether I was ever
891
00:35:35,253 --> 00:35:37,453
Tiffany Lonsdale: signed with them or friends were, or you
892
00:35:37,493 --> 00:35:39,331
Tiffany Lonsdale: know you would meet them at events and so
893
00:35:39,392 --> 00:35:40,134
Tiffany Lonsdale: on and so forth.
894
00:35:41,390 --> 00:35:43,797
Tiffany Lonsdale: So I signed with Linda McAllister for
895
00:35:44,118 --> 00:35:46,774
Tiffany Lonsdale: voiceover initially, but in a Marcet like
896
00:35:47,135 --> 00:35:50,114
Tiffany Lonsdale: Dallas and in Texas, at least at that time.
897
00:35:51,110 --> 00:35:52,274
Marc Preston: It's very fashion driven back.
898
00:35:52,294 --> 00:35:53,117
Marc Preston: Then what's that?
899
00:35:53,670 --> 00:35:56,437
Marc Preston: Oh, yes, very much, very much.
900
00:35:56,770 --> 00:35:59,520
Tiffany Lonsdale: And also it's there aren't managers.
901
00:35:59,650 --> 00:36:02,458
Tiffany Lonsdale: So you have an agent who represents you for
902
00:36:02,799 --> 00:36:06,899
Tiffany Lonsdale: commercial and voiceover and theatrical and
903
00:36:06,979 --> 00:36:07,621
Tiffany Lonsdale: industrial.
904
00:36:07,970 --> 00:36:11,171
Tiffany Lonsdale: And so I, when I signed with Linda you know
905
00:36:11,191 --> 00:36:14,754
Tiffany Lonsdale: I got a headshot made, but that was really
906
00:36:14,815 --> 00:36:16,955
Tiffany Lonsdale: just to meet her and try and impress her
907
00:36:17,170 --> 00:36:20,741
Tiffany Lonsdale: and she said look, you've got a good look
908
00:36:20,930 --> 00:36:23,779
Tiffany Lonsdale: and would you consider going up for
909
00:36:23,819 --> 00:36:24,541
Tiffany Lonsdale: commercials?
910
00:36:24,690 --> 00:36:26,898
Tiffany Lonsdale: I said, thank you, I would love that.
911
00:36:27,550 --> 00:36:30,118
Tiffany Lonsdale: And that's when something clicked in me
912
00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:35,061
Tiffany Lonsdale: that I needed to be proactive and trust my
913
00:36:35,141 --> 00:36:38,018
Tiffany Lonsdale: gut and my voice about what I wanted to do.
914
00:36:38,770 --> 00:36:42,391
Tiffany Lonsdale: So I went to Michelle Condres' studio and I
915
00:36:42,592 --> 00:36:46,618
Tiffany Lonsdale: audited her class and I, within the first
916
00:36:46,678 --> 00:36:48,875
Tiffany Lonsdale: 10 minutes, felt very connected to
917
00:36:49,537 --> 00:36:51,433
Tiffany Lonsdale: everything she was saying and the people in
918
00:36:51,453 --> 00:36:54,061
Tiffany Lonsdale: the class and the feeling.
919
00:36:54,522 --> 00:36:55,104
Tiffany Lonsdale: It was a feeling.
920
00:36:55,130 --> 00:36:56,355
Marc Preston: It is a cool feeling when you kind of find
921
00:36:56,395 --> 00:36:57,993
Marc Preston: your tribe, you know those people that are
922
00:36:58,716 --> 00:36:59,679
Marc Preston: equally doing this thing.
923
00:36:59,730 --> 00:37:01,618
Marc Preston: That makes no sense to really anybody else
924
00:37:01,710 --> 00:37:03,336
Marc Preston: except for the people in the room, you know.
925
00:37:03,677 --> 00:37:05,506
Tiffany Lonsdale: And that tribe yeah that's for sure.
926
00:37:05,850 --> 00:37:06,614
Marc Preston: But you know it's so funny.
927
00:37:06,634 --> 00:37:07,793
Marc Preston: All the greats I mean everybody did
928
00:37:07,833 --> 00:37:09,755
Marc Preston: commercial and one of the things about
929
00:37:09,795 --> 00:37:11,573
Marc Preston: Dallas, or even Houston and even the big
930
00:37:11,613 --> 00:37:14,153
Marc Preston: metropolitan areas, there is a lot of
931
00:37:14,213 --> 00:37:16,234
Marc Preston: commercial and it's a great way for actors
932
00:37:16,314 --> 00:37:20,213
Marc Preston: to keep food on the table while they're
933
00:37:20,313 --> 00:37:22,451
Marc Preston: chasing and building their thing that they
934
00:37:22,471 --> 00:37:23,415
Marc Preston: want to do, you know.
935
00:37:23,590 --> 00:37:26,133
Tiffany Lonsdale: It's excellent experience and you get to
936
00:37:26,173 --> 00:37:30,056
Tiffany Lonsdale: see how sets are run and you have to pay
937
00:37:30,096 --> 00:37:30,698
Tiffany Lonsdale: your dues.
938
00:37:30,818 --> 00:37:32,955
Tiffany Lonsdale: At least I did, and there were a lot of
939
00:37:32,995 --> 00:37:33,577
Tiffany Lonsdale: times that I would.
940
00:37:33,850 --> 00:37:35,817
Tiffany Lonsdale: I was a background actor for many
941
00:37:35,857 --> 00:37:38,916
Tiffany Lonsdale: commercials and that means schlepping many
942
00:37:39,177 --> 00:37:41,574
Tiffany Lonsdale: clothes options there and doing your hair
943
00:37:41,614 --> 00:37:44,518
Tiffany Lonsdale: and makeup and sitting in the Texas heat
944
00:37:44,730 --> 00:37:46,698
Tiffany Lonsdale: waiting for something to happen.
945
00:37:46,910 --> 00:37:48,878
Tiffany Lonsdale: You're giving me some creative PTSD right
946
00:37:48,918 --> 00:37:50,716
Tiffany Lonsdale: now because I want to remember those days
947
00:37:50,857 --> 00:37:51,058
Tiffany Lonsdale: yeah.
948
00:37:51,651 --> 00:37:51,993
Tiffany Lonsdale: Exactly.
949
00:37:52,750 --> 00:37:53,353
Marc Preston: So like.
950
00:37:53,734 --> 00:37:54,991
Marc Preston: But we were talking about things you're
951
00:37:55,011 --> 00:37:56,592
Marc Preston: kind of wanting to do going on, like the
952
00:37:56,833 --> 00:37:59,131
Marc Preston: action movies and the things that you know
953
00:37:59,252 --> 00:38:00,397
Marc Preston: that kind of inspire you.
954
00:38:00,470 --> 00:38:02,097
Marc Preston: But when you're, let's say, a little bit
955
00:38:02,137 --> 00:38:03,575
Marc Preston: older, you're not hanging out watching the
956
00:38:03,595 --> 00:38:06,436
Marc Preston: BBC, you know, eating your crumpets and tea,
957
00:38:07,010 --> 00:38:09,237
Marc Preston: which I'm fascinated by.
958
00:38:09,317 --> 00:38:11,212
Marc Preston: That sounds wonderful, something very
959
00:38:11,272 --> 00:38:12,095
Marc Preston: civilized about it.
960
00:38:13,312 --> 00:38:14,335
Marc Preston: But who are you watching that?
961
00:38:14,897 --> 00:38:20,522
Marc Preston: Actors that were kind of North Stars for
962
00:38:20,562 --> 00:38:21,956
Marc Preston: you when you were like, okay, that, okay.
963
00:38:22,010 --> 00:38:23,992
Marc Preston: Now I know I want to do this thing Okay now
964
00:38:24,615 --> 00:38:25,498
Marc Preston: that's who's doing it.
965
00:38:25,590 --> 00:38:27,357
Marc Preston: That's who, like I, love what they do.
966
00:38:27,832 --> 00:38:28,494
Marc Preston: They inspire me.
967
00:38:29,230 --> 00:38:31,999
Marc Preston: That actor is one I want to follow.
968
00:38:32,130 --> 00:38:34,117
Marc Preston: Who's inspiring me to do whatever it is I
969
00:38:34,157 --> 00:38:34,478
Marc Preston: want to do.
970
00:38:35,311 --> 00:38:36,656
Marc Preston: Who were some of those people for you?
971
00:38:37,390 --> 00:38:38,152
Tiffany Lonsdale: Gosh Marc.
972
00:38:38,413 --> 00:38:41,591
Tiffany Lonsdale: If we had another 10 days talking, I'm not
973
00:38:41,631 --> 00:38:44,160
Tiffany Lonsdale: sure I could get through all of the actors
974
00:38:44,270 --> 00:38:45,455
Tiffany Lonsdale: who have inspired me.
975
00:38:46,030 --> 00:38:50,654
Tiffany Lonsdale: Kate Blanchett comes to mind, someone who
976
00:38:50,915 --> 00:38:54,732
Tiffany Lonsdale: takes risks and has a lot of integrity and
977
00:38:55,654 --> 00:39:01,352
Tiffany Lonsdale: works very hard and mixes it up and has
978
00:39:01,453 --> 00:39:03,310
Tiffany Lonsdale: given back as well to her community and
979
00:39:03,331 --> 00:39:06,335
Tiffany Lonsdale: working in theater and I have always really
980
00:39:06,395 --> 00:39:08,180
Tiffany Lonsdale: admired her work.
981
00:39:09,350 --> 00:39:10,093
Tiffany Lonsdale: There are so many.
982
00:39:10,153 --> 00:39:13,214
Tiffany Lonsdale: Dame Judy Dench, as someone who I've just
983
00:39:13,234 --> 00:39:16,254
Tiffany Lonsdale: grown up watching for you know decades.
984
00:39:16,730 --> 00:39:18,375
Tiffany Lonsdale: You mentioned Shorae Agdashlu.
985
00:39:19,137 --> 00:39:21,393
Tiffany Lonsdale: She's phenomenal and someone I've also
986
00:39:21,433 --> 00:39:22,778
Tiffany Lonsdale: enjoyed really watching on the expense.
987
00:39:22,870 --> 00:39:26,030
Tiffany Lonsdale: But you know House of Sand and Fog and, oh,
988
00:39:26,110 --> 00:39:26,351
Tiffany Lonsdale: you know.
989
00:39:26,411 --> 00:39:29,160
Marc Preston: I still have yet to see that I don't know
990
00:39:29,220 --> 00:39:30,675
Marc Preston: why it's one that fell through the cracks,
991
00:39:30,815 --> 00:39:32,694
Marc Preston: I don't know why, so I that's.
992
00:39:32,814 --> 00:39:33,878
Marc Preston: Thank you for reminding me.
993
00:39:34,150 --> 00:39:35,832
Marc Preston: That is one I definitely now streaming.
994
00:39:35,852 --> 00:39:37,477
Tiffany Lonsdale: You can find anything all the time, you
995
00:39:37,497 --> 00:39:39,834
Tiffany Lonsdale: know it's so true you can really tap in now
996
