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

00:13:10,335 --> 00:13:12,998

Tiffany Lonsdale: humans and anything in between, because

331

00:13:13,118 --> 00:13:16,001

Tiffany Lonsdale: that was my vision for the future.

332

00:13:16,385 --> 00:13:17,727

Marc Preston: You're covering a lot of really interesting

333

00:13:17,787 --> 00:13:19,570

Marc Preston: ground and in terms of characters, I mean

334

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: eventually, because we know snowfall be

Marc Preston: around season six.

340

00:13:28,484 --> 00:13:29,365

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

00:13:40,231 --> 00:13:42,613

Tiffany Lonsdale: Pride and Pejudice, and now Bridgerton, of

00:13:42,673 --> 00:13:44,875

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

352

00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:04,818

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

Marc Preston: Orleans for a week.

428

00:17:30,650 --> 00:17:33,136

Tiffany Lonsdale: Yes and Justice for Natalie in New Orleans.

429

00:17:34,599 --> 00:17:38,757

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

Marc Preston: the Hatter.

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

Tiffany Lonsdale: Well, right now he he runs high Buddha

00:18:19,278 --> 00:18:20,863

Tiffany Lonsdale: juice giving a shout out to Buddha juice

448

00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:22,497

Tiffany Lonsdale: and in Dallas, texas.

449

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

Tiffany Lonsdale: in England and they both made their way

469

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

Tiffany Lonsdale: as your father from from London.

471

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

00:19:28,131 --> 00:19:29,918

Marc Preston: I have zero idea what he was saying.

479

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

Marc Preston: He just was very vivacious, you know, but

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

482

00:19:36,024 --> 00:19:37,649

Marc Preston: don't know what they're saying in Newcastle

483

00:19:37,709 --> 00:19:39,073

Marc Preston: either, you know.

484

00:19:39,434 --> 00:19:41,399

00:19:54,784 --> 00:19:55,948

Tiffany Lonsdale: the acting work with them.

491

00:19:55,988 --> 00:19:57,753

Tiffany Lonsdale: Not everything, they can't see everything,

492

00:19:57,934 --> 00:20:00,540

Tiffany Lonsdale: we got to, you know, cut out.

496

00:20:07,030 --> 00:20:08,255

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

500

00:20:12,410 --> 00:20:14,337

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

Tiffany Lonsdale: You can find anything all the time, you

995

00:39:37,497 --> 00:39:39,834

Tiffany Lonsdale: Dockery and there's just a lot of strength

Speaker:1003

00:40:02,837 --> 00:40:04,982

Tiffany Lonsdale: that came through the stories on that show

Speaker:1004

00:40:05,410 --> 00:40:07,758
