[00:02:36]>> Oh, thank you.

[00:02:36]>> I want to also let people know that my daughter is now officially going to be part of the Jordan campaign, >> which is really dope.

[00:02:44]>> Yes.

[00:02:45]>> She shot her uh her campaign a couple weeks ago.

[00:02:47]>> That's amazing.

[00:02:48]>> And it's beautiful cuz she's 10 years old. She wanted to do it. that she was inspired and it's with a group of other little girls >> and it's just showcasing the Jordan brand with a female touch, empowerment, independence, strength. So, yes, >> I just want to thank you for being that representation.

[00:03:04]>> Oh, I I appreciate you saying that. I'm so excited for your daughter. Yeah. That they're advertising in that way. That's that's awesome.

[00:03:10]>> Yeah. Um let's let's start with your your childhood because you were part of uh Bringing Down a House. Was that your first movie that you did?

[00:03:17]No, that I've I've been an actress since I was about five or six and that one I did in my late teens, I think. Um, so but that was probably o there was there was so much fangirling on that set that it was Yeah, it was one of the times where I just everywhere you looked was somebody famous and um, you know, the late amazing Betty White was like somebody I had been wanting to to meet forever. And >> can we get a a round of applause for Betty White?

[00:03:44]>> Yeah. Oh yeah.

[00:03:46]Did you have any fun interactions with her?

[00:03:49]>> Absolutely. She was so kind and so funny and would just would stand with you and like hold your hand while she talked to you, which was just like, you know, I had grown up watching, of course, Golden Girls, like, you know, my I have three younger brothers. My poor brother Rich was probably about like six or seven at the time, and whenever we'd be home from school or something, like that was what I decided we were watching. Um, so that was I mean I just if I remember running around my backyard a bunch of times when I first found out that I had booked that because I had met Steve Martin at an Oscar party I think maybe a couple years before and that was like >> the high, you know, just such a pinnacle for me. So the fact that I was going to get to to share a screen with him and the and Queen Latifa and the rest of the amazing cast was just a dream.

[00:04:36]>> What was the other guy's name with the uh with the glasses was >> Oh, Eugene Levy.

[00:04:39]>> Eugene Levy. That's another iconic uh >> and that was even before like obviously Shitz Creek and stuff but I mean with all of his improv and just everything and man talk about another just improv comedy legend.

[00:04:51]>> Yeah. you you shared this space with uh Steve Martin as as Steve Martin's daughter, but also like Queen Latifah.

[00:04:58]And I told her earlier that Queen Latifah for me before she started acting um she was part of a a group called Native Tongues with De Lasso, Trap Callest, uh Mooney Love, Jungle Brothers, and for Black IPs, >> she represented everything that we loved about female MC's. And she still to this day cuz she can, you know, Dana >> aka Queen Latifah can do jazz, she can do hiphop, she can do, you know, gospel, R&B, she can be freaking uh um, you know, an Academy Award nominee and all the things that make her the amazing artist.

[00:05:33]>> I want to learn more about what it was like working with Dana uh in that on that movie.

[00:05:39]>> Oh, she was just so incredibly down to earth. Um I she I remember still the first day she came up to say hi to me at the table read and just immediately was just so warm and hey I'm Dana. You can call me D. You can call me D. Whatever you want like >> and just I mean that was she set the tone. She and Steve really just set a tone for such a um a kind, warm, fun set.

[00:06:01]>> Um and she she was also an executive producer I believe. Um so it was it was fun at that at my age. I I graduated high school actually while we were filming uh Bringing Down the House. And uh so that was like for me to see that in my teen years to see such an amazing woman who just I mean so versatile and nuanced in her talent like it was you know I I so admired her and it was a just such a good modeling for me I guess like you know that you can you can do a little bit of everything if you want to you know >> and she's uh synonymous for um for the love that she has for uh television and film >> cuz she's just as as great on the equalizer and >> you know all the movies and and films that she's done. Um, I just I credit her as being there's not a lot of rappers or MC's that are great in hip-hop culture and are able to trans uh transition into success in Hollywood. You have Will Smith.

[00:06:58]>> You have uh Ludacris for Fast and Furious.

[00:07:01]>> Yes.

[00:07:01]>> Um, anyone else be >> actors?

[00:07:04]>> Mark Wahberg.

[00:07:05]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:07:06]>> Yes.

[00:07:06]>> I mean, you know, >> Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

[00:07:08]>> You know who else? I'm blanking right now. I mean, Aliyah had a notable career.

[00:07:13]>> No, but in hip-hop, not R&B.

[00:07:14]>> Tupac had a notable career.

[00:07:16]>> Tupac. Yes, sir. Tupac, uh, >> you know, Most Deaf.

[00:07:19]>> Most deaf. There's not a lot of them.

[00:07:20]>> Common had a he's he's been able to translate >> that that have had successful runs in in hip-hop culture. Are you a hip-hop fan?

[00:07:28]>> I am. I one of I have two brothers in music industry. One's an incredible piano player and he now uh teaches and my youngest brother Dylan is a DJ now.

[00:07:39]and and uh he's definitely he's he works in the more in the hip-hop uh rap world and and so he's really uh expanded.

[00:07:47]Yeah. A lot.

[00:07:48]>> What's your choice of music?

[00:07:49]>> Go-to music.

[00:07:50]>> I have such an eclectic it's it's probably more well if I'm being honest sometimes more musical theater than anything cuz I grew up in New York and on Broadway and all that. So sometimes it's it's layiz or wicked or something and then other times it's you know everybody from Kelly Clarkson to John Mayer to I mean just of course are you kidding me? I I mean where is the love?

[00:08:15]Like that song I can remember like just vividly the summer of probably 16 17 >> driving around with my friend Tiffany in her car and we would just blast that song and that I mean between Monkey Business and Ella Funk I think those are the two albums >> of like my Yeah.

[00:08:33]>> my childhood and teenage >> to my own horn ladies and gentlemen and Taboo's comics and kids. Go ahead. No, but those were like I mean essential albums and certainly like my brother Dylan I mean he talks about Monkey Business and just really you know that awakening his his love of music really young but um yeah that was like those were staples. So >> great where's the love um you know speaking about that it just changed our lives. It changed our trajectory from an underground hip-hop backpack rap type group from the '90s >> to be able to bring this beautiful uh mosaic of sounds and inspirations.

[00:09:09]Eleunk was that. It wasn't hip-hop >> per se. It was uh a lot of things. It was Bosanova. It was Sergio Menddees. It was um you know rock with with uh with Let's Get It Started. It was just all these influences that we implemented in Elek. And I felt like that's when we had people that weren't just necessarily only in the hip-hop world gravitating to it and really embracing it.

[00:09:33]>> So, I'm glad you said Where's Love cuz that's my favorite song to this day.

[00:09:36]>> Oh, really? Oh, that's so cool to know.

[00:09:38]>> Because it changed my life and even with all the stuff that's going on in the world, the song resonates with >> 100% >> that sentiment.

[00:09:45]>> Yeah. Did you guys did you feel like you guys were put in a box before that album as far as or like people trying to to >> keep you guys in one genre because that was what was so unique and eclectic about like your guys' sound is it was an amalgamation of like >> all different sounds and genres.

[00:10:02]>> Well, we we made it a point to not care on the third album because that was our third album. Our first album Behind the Front and Bridging the Gap were more underground. It wasn't really successful. It was about 300,000 records sold. And so to be on Innercope, they looked at it as like, well, you guys are critically acclaimed, but you're not selling records.

[00:10:21]>> Yeah.

[00:10:21]>> So they're like, you're going going into this third record. You need to really figure out what, you know, what you guys are going to do because we didn't have an ANR. We were the ANR. We, you know, we had people from the label, but not necessarily uh they weren't vultures like on top of us like you got to make this sound. You got to, you know, make it sound like this. Yeah, >> it was more like, hey, we believe in you. We signed you for a reason cuz you're self-contained. You guys are developed. You're not artist development.

[00:10:49]>> Um, so myself, Willam, and Apple, this is before Fergie was even in the group.

[00:10:53]We wrote Where's the Love with Justin Timberlake.

[00:10:55]>> Oh, okay.

[00:10:56]>> And this we wrote it in 2001.

[00:10:58]>> So in 2001, we just we felt like the separation between humanity, uh, the racism, uh, because of 9/11. people were very um >> hateful and just putting all this negative energy towards people that weren't from the US.

[00:11:14]>> Yeah.

[00:11:14]>> And so we kept asking the question, where's the love within humanity?

[00:11:17]>> And so, you know, fast forward to 2003 when we put out the record Elephant, we actually brought Stacy in Fergie >> um because she was part of a group called Wild Orchid. She left Wild Orchid. We brought her in as a as a featured singer and she just became part of the crew. So, for you to receive Where's the Love the way we put it out and the way we receive it to this day, I really appreciate that. I just want to take time to give you a little >> Thank you. I love hearing that.

[00:11:41]>> I love how she started interviewing you.

[00:11:43]It's good. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. What else do you want to know?

[00:11:47]>> No, that's I love hearing how that stuff comes together. Yeah. I just, you know, I felt like it's a it's a moment in time that is part of the story, part of the DNA of Black IP's history, but also like why I have this this uh urgency and this this yearning to tell stories because where's Love is a story of that time period.

[00:12:07]>> Yeah.

[00:12:08]>> It's uh 911, Will saying, you know, what's wrong with the world mama? People living like they ain't got no mamas, right?

[00:12:14]>> We have terrorists here living the big CIA, the KKK, the Bloods and the Crips, and the KKK, all that stuff, right?

[00:12:20]That's all.

[00:12:21]>> Yeah.

[00:12:22]>> And we were just narrators of that time period. And I felt like, you know, for us, we wanted to be able to um to make music for the world, not just for hip-hop culture. We love our hip-hop roots, but we wanted to be able to go to Philippines and and and freaking Mexico and Brazil and Europe.

[00:12:41]>> Kind of like what your show Halloween Town did. Yeah, it that is a very Yeah, that's a good way of Yeah. of putting it. Yeah, >> it really went across the globe and I did my due diligence cuz I know Brian was like, "Yo, we got Kimberly and I really wanted to understand who you are as a person and what Halloween Town meant to Disney cuz I used to work at Disneyland."

[00:13:04]>> Oh, cool.

[00:13:05]>> So, the Disney brand has been part of my childhood because I that was my first job. And at the time that I was working at Disney, I was also uh pursuing my dream with the Black IPs.

[00:13:17]>> So, let's take the viewers into that moment from bringing down the house to now you're going embarking on this Disney journey. I want to know about that.

[00:13:25]>> Yeah, it was actually the other way around technically cuz um I did Halloween Town in 98 so I was like 13.

[00:13:34]>> Um and Disney Channel was a very new channel. I think Halloween Town was probably the second or third ever. They call them decoms now, the Disney Channel original movie.

[00:13:43]>> Um, and that they it just it grew uh a lot then like it it it did well when it first premiered, but Disney Channel wasn't even in every household yet on as a cable staple, right? So, we got to watch like the movie grow in the audience and like I can remember a few years after that, I think when right before Quint came out, they flew a bunch of us to Times Square for a big event because Time Warner Cable had just gotten Disney Channel and it was >> new. So, it was really fun and and looking back very special to be a part of of something kind of from the ground floor up, I guess. Um, but we had no idea what would what would happen. And uh people ask me all the time, it was always just plans to be one movie. I think if I if I remember correctly, I think NBC actually passed on it. that was initially like pitched to NBC as a TV movie >> and then uh pitched to Disney and I'm sure you know uh written a little bit more for the family, but um >> it was so exciting to uh be able to like as a performer and as a real kid cuz I was 13 when I did it >> to really get to step into this Halloween Town world. It was not uh very difficult to act some of those days of just walking around in awe of the town because >> it was it was such a cool idea to Kimberly as well who loved Halloween and she like since I was a kid because >> I think it probably had something to do with the the costumes and I' that I'd wear and and really enjoy like becoming another, you know, another character for another night. It's no wonder why I grew up to be an actor. But um yeah, it just it we made it in the summer and it it came out and then just the the way the fans loved on it and have continued to watch it over the years. They're the reason why we got to do more sequels, ended up doing three of them, and just why they're now they're on Disney Plus, and I meet generations of fans, like grandmothers down to their granddaughters, just that have continued to watch it and show it to their families, and it's the biggest honor because I I could have never imagined all these years later that we would still like be a part of people's traditions in the fall. And it's awesome. How amazing is it to be able to go to Comic-Con or Wonder Con or all these different cons to be able to do signings and see the generations of of fans? Um, I I was able to have to have moments like that with my Marvel signings, but you know, I I like to learn more about people's experiences cuz we have a lot of whether it's Walter Jones from the Power Rangers or Ernie Reyes from Ninja Turtles and Last Dragon, like they talk about how that has fulfilled them and even later on in the years, how they've seen generation of fans and families come to those signings and really appreciate those moments. What does that represent to you?

[00:16:30]>> Oh, it's it's incredible. It's I mean you know uh as well as I do how difficult this industry can be on any given day and >> it is so refreshing to um yeah literally go meet the people that actually watch what you do.

[00:16:45]>> Exactly.

[00:16:45]>> Um and I mean I've just heard heartwarming stories over the years and um it really kind of connects you back to why you do it I think too. Um, especially, you know, when the when the business can, you know, get a little tedious or not go quite the way you wanted it to. I think it's it's so nice to be able to go spend time uh with those fans that have just enjoyed it and they get to share with you what they related to and all that. And it it's just the absolute best. I hope I can continue to do it. Like people ask me a lot like, "Aren't you do you ever get tired of being called Marne or like you know being asked about Halloween Town?"

[00:17:24]And no, I I it's such an honor and I am it brings people joy and it's it's like a I'm blessed to be in a position to provide some sort of happiness or joy or something in in these kind people that wait in lines to to meet me and stuff like that and to hear their stories.

[00:17:43]It's it's quite uh quite the honor and it gives it gives me as much as I hope they're getting from it. you know, I'm I I feel like I get as much if if not more u from these amazing people.

[00:17:54]>> And also like to be able to have a career outside of uh what we're, you know, whether we're on film or television or on stage to be able to have these moments with these fans that, like you said, waiting outside and really are just gracious enough to bring their their photo of you or or something that a memorabilia >> to share that nostalgia with you on how you've affected them in a positive way.

[00:18:17]>> Yes. And I feel like um learning more and more about these uh these gifts and these blessings because it's like uh Halloween Town is from what like two 2000 the second and third.

[00:18:30]>> Yeah. The second one was in I think 2001 and then yeah 2003 or five something like that after that. It was every few years or so.

[00:18:37]>> A gift that keeps on giving in 2026.

[00:18:41]>> Absolutely.

[00:18:41]>> Or the last time that you did a con, you know. And I think for me that's the >> that's the beauty of like what we do is being able to bring that nostalgia whether people are like yo I love what you did and bringing down a house or Halloween Town or all the other things that you've done. Um I think it's important for people to know that that we do this for the fans, right? We do this we we we put our our expression and our talent and all the things that we do to bring the good vibes and the good energy. Um, >> absolutely. And I Debbie Reynolds really um indirectly modeled that for me. She played uh Grandma Aggie in all the Halloween Town movies and she loved her fans so much. Um, people would gather outside uh on the outskirts of set trying to catch a glimpse of her and she would always take the time to go over and say hello. her favorite way to um I've said this before, but her favorite way to introduce herself to the fans would be she'd walk up and say, "Hello, I'm Princess Leia's mom." And the whole crowd would just, you know, just get so giddy. Um >> that's a mic dropper.

[00:19:45]>> Yes. I mean, hello. If I were Princess Leia's mom, I would I would drop that all the time as well. Hello. Yeah.

[00:19:50]>> Yeah. I mean, >> so she really like just really impressed upon me.

[00:19:56]>> For those who don't get the reference, give them the reference.

[00:19:59]>> Okay. Yes. Uh, so we get it in this room. Her daughter's daughter was Yeah.

[00:20:03]the late amazing uh Carrie Fischer who played Princess Leia Leia in all the Star Wars movies. Um, so she was always so proud of Carrie. But she really impressed upon me at a young age just how what a gifted it is to be able to uh bring people joy through what you do.

[00:20:20]and she just wanted I mean wanted to continue to do it all the time and just uh really it it gave her as much like energy as as she gave everybody else. I I went to a couple of of her variety shows over the years after we worked together and saw her in Vegas and North Hollywood and man she would come out dancing and singing and the audience would go nut. I mean, it just was so what a legend. What an incredible legend she was. And you would never know to >> meet her on the street or talk to her.

[00:20:51]She was the humblest, bodiest, funniest, you know, of ladies. And uh just Yeah, what a what an honor to have gotten to >> spend personal time and screen time with her. For sure.

[00:21:02]>> Speaking about Halloween Town, what has been your top three favorite uh go-to costumes throughout your your whole life?

[00:21:09]>> Oh, that's a good question. I mean, I I feel like I'd be remissed not to at least mention a witch cuz that's >> that's an easy go-to. And I still have Marne's purple cloak from uh the second Halloween Town.

[00:21:20]>> Oh, she should have brought that.

[00:21:23]>> It's I had I try to I' I've worn it a little bit over the years and uh >> Does it still fit?

[00:21:29]>> It does, actually.

[00:21:31]Um but now I'm like, "Oh, I'm precious about when I take it out cuz it's like I don't want it to like disintegrate or something." But um a witch and then I I went through a phase where I wanted to do just the gnarliest makeup I could. So it was always just taking like a farmer or something. It was like oh this year I'm going to be a dead farmer and it was just so I could like >> paint the you know the Yeah. Like I wanted to try my hand out at like the makeup part of it. Um, >> and gosh, well, my other favorite one when I was really young was a I think one of my first costumes was a princess and I made like the she had a big cone um hat and like I you know I made it and like with ribbon coming down. So I I liked you know I liked being crafty in those days too. Yeah.

[00:22:15]>> I'm going to give you my three. So um we interviewed Rob Ryder from this movie called the Warriors. I actually played a baseball fury one time on the road uh while we were touring with Black Eyed Peas. Second favorite was uh I did a theme with my family. We did a Hotel Transylvania and I was the werewolf.

[00:22:32]Yes.

[00:22:32]>> Which is cool.

[00:22:33]>> Yeah.

[00:22:33]>> Uh the third one was The Wizard of Oz.

[00:22:36]>> Oh, that's a great one.

[00:22:37]>> Cuz we used back when my kids were younger.

[00:22:40]>> Now they're teenagers, so they don't want to do it, but we used to do themes >> and so Wizard of Oz was one of the themes and um um Hotel Transylvania, Star Wars was another.

[00:22:49]>> Those are great themes. Yeah. I my husband and I and our dog, we try to Last year was Scooby-Doo was our theme.

[00:22:56]>> Scooby-Doo, too. Yeah.

[00:22:57]>> Yeah. That's a a good go-to. Um, so >> you guys all dress as a family.

[00:23:02]>> It's a family vibe. Like it's a theme.

[00:23:04]Okay.

[00:23:05]>> Yeah. The Yeah, we love a good like family theme vibe. I mean, that's just especially because our dog is is usually willing to wear a a costume for a few minutes.

[00:24:40]>> Man, I mean what a Yeah, there we go. I forgot that like >> that. I mean, talk about another just dream scenario. I remember cuz I mean, get shorty is just an incredible movie.

[00:24:53]>> Classic.

[00:24:53]>> I Yeah. So, I just I mean I remember the first day of being on that set and not only just meeting John Travolta, obviously, cuz Greece was one of my favorite movies growing up, one that I love.

[00:25:06]>> Exactly. Like, come on. Um, but I remember he walked onto set as Chile Palmer, you know, and and he met me in my Tiffany uh my whole garb like I was tatted and pierced and I had a black wig on and everything. So, um, but it just the moment of trying to like not be starruck looking at Chile Palmer. It was interesting cuz like I've been I've been in the business since I was a kid, but it was like a extra fan girl of not only John Travolta, but like holy crap, I'm talking to Chile Palmer. Like I'm in this like get shorty world.

[00:25:40]>> Um, but and they I mean him and Uma Thurman, everybody on that set could not have been nicer as well. Andre 3000 like that was right.

[00:25:49]>> The Rock.

[00:25:50]>> Yes. Yes, that was his first major like acting role >> and I think it was I want to say only a year or maybe a couple years after like Outcast like Hya and all that had come out. So it was just >> I mean my brain was just on fire as far as the the acting and the music just you know I they did such a good job of >> just that movie as a whole. F Gary Gray.

[00:26:13]I just love what he did with um just showing enough of like the real sides of that industry, but also including just a lot of stuff that of us in the biz, you know, understand. And >> shout out to um uh >> what's his name? Uh the tall dude, the comedian from uh Swingers.

[00:26:31]>> Oh, Vince. Vince.

[00:26:33]>> Shout out to Vince Bond. He was great in that movie. So freaking funny in that movie. He's hilarious. Yeah. I I don't know if anybody else could have pulled off that role quite like he did. Yeah.

[00:26:42]Made him so endearing and not just like annoying or weird, you know. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:26:46]>> What did you think of that movie, B?

[00:26:47]>> I I always think when I think of Vince Vaughn, I always think of people forget No, he was in Rudy.

[00:26:53]>> People forget he was in Rudy. He was one of like the the football players. And remember that scene where Rudy's walking by the car with his friend and he's talking to one of the players and Vince Vaughn's razing him like on the the car.

[00:27:07]Remember that scene? Oh, he's the bully on the bully. You >> remember that?

[00:27:10]>> I don't It's I don't I'm trying to think. I don't think I've actually seen >> pick it up to like 5 years ago and I'm like >> that's [ __ ] Vince. He looks young.

[00:27:20]>> Well, he's super young. This is like >> Yeah, John Fabro is in that movie.

[00:27:23]>> Oh, okay.

[00:27:24]>> So, that's how the swingers connection probably happened at some point. Yeah, >> right. That's cool.

[00:27:28]>> But yeah, Vince Vaughn is uh is a gen What was your question?

[00:27:32]>> No, I was just asking like do you remember that movie?

[00:27:35]>> Oh, yeah, of course.

[00:27:35]>> Be cool.

[00:27:36]>> Oh, yeah. Be cool. Yeah, of course.

[00:27:38]>> Um, I want to say that I think that was the first movie that Black IPs had done as a group.

[00:27:43]>> Oh, that's so cool.

[00:27:44]>> We had never done a movie, per se, like been part of a movie as Black IPs.

[00:27:49]>> Um, >> cuz you had done movies by yourself.

[00:27:51]>> I I did I did uh uh um Dirty with uh Cuban Jr. and Clipton Collins.

[00:27:59]>> Did the basketball movie too though?

[00:28:00]>> Uh Sunset Park, but some extra work.

[00:28:02]>> What's the matter? You were in it.

[00:28:03]>> I love that. He's your Brian's your hype guy. REMEMBER YOU DID THIS. WHAT ELSE?

[00:28:09]>> Text me. Text me what you want me to say.

[00:28:10]>> That's what I need. I need somebody to be like, "Remember you did this." Oh, yeah. Text me. I did do that.

[00:28:14]>> But you you know what's interesting? And I say this to everybody all the time.

[00:28:18]>> You should be a fan of your friends. You should hype your friends up cuz I'm not a hater. I don't half time I'd be scrolling on social media. I don't even know what's being posted, but if I see your name, I'm just like like naturally like it. I don't even I'm too busy to sit there and read everything, but if he posts something like I don't care what it is, that's my boy. I'm going to like his [ __ ] >> I love that. Thank you.

[00:28:36]>> You know what I mean?

[00:28:37]>> And and so I think we need to be more a you can you can be a fan of your you should be if they're doing good [ __ ] you should be a fan. Yeah.

[00:28:44]>> I love mind that there's enough for everybody. I can't stand >> the the comparison and competition within the industry. It's like whatever's out there for you is out there for you. and know, you know, like we all need to support each other in such a >> such a weird industry that like Yeah, I'm I am my friends biggest champions cuz it's it's I'm so proud of them, you know? It's >> it's hard to make it in a creative industry and to you know, you you work hard at like what you love and that's so important in life, you know. So, it's I I think yeah, I I hope that like people continue to um I don't know, lean into that that like encouragement and not so much like, oh, that you know, he has that. Oh, that means I'm not good. No, no, no, no. Like, that's his and you got yours.

[00:29:34]>> Speaking about industry, was there a role that you auditioned for that you didn't get that blew up?

[00:29:40]>> Oh, yeah. I sure >> said, which one?

[00:29:43]>> Yeah, exactly. Uh, that's probably that list of roles is probably longer than the ones that I actually booked. Um, which is just another thing in the business as far as like >> I know that's why I asked. It's very common.

[00:29:56]>> I'm trying to think of one. Um, well that show uh Joan of Arcadia back in the day on CBS >> um that was down between me and Amber Tamblin who was great in it. So like it and I watched some of it and it was interesting because we had completely different takes on the character. So like it's a lot of times that's what ends up happening. And that's also why I say don't compare or compete cuz like >> you could have five different actors in a room read a scene completely different you know vibes and intentions characters. So, um, so yeah, like it, you know, it all goes along that, but yeah, >> cuz we were talking to, um, to, uh, Claudia Wells from Back to the Future, >> and she said one of the roles that she um, she she auditioned for Goonies and Gremlins.

[00:30:47]>> Oh my gosh. But then she also passed on Back to the Future and they shot >> a lot of that >> Eric Stoultz and another actress and then they brought her back and then they they didn't they didn't like >> they didn't like Eric Stoultz so they brought in >> scratched it and started all over.

[00:31:04]>> That's right. I remember that part of the story. My husband is his favorite movie. So that Yeah. Yeah.

[00:31:10]>> All right. Since we're at favorite movies, top three favorite movies for you.

[00:31:13]>> Oh gosh. Uh probably Nodding Hill. Um, >> oh, that was that's Julia Roberts, right?

[00:31:18]>> Yeah. Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant.

[00:31:20]Yeah.

[00:31:21]>> Um, Best in Show is probably my favorite. Like Christopher Guest. Yeah.

[00:31:26]With uh Eugene Levy and Katherine O'Hara and just Jane Lynch.

[00:31:29]>> Rest in peace to Catherine O'Hara.

[00:31:31]>> Yeah.

[00:31:32]>> Home Alone.

[00:31:34]>> Oh yeah. See, that's the thing about her career is like people all have she has so many like just legendary roles. Um gosh, I also love I I probably say Big with Tom Hanks. That's just >> I just watched that so much as a kid.

[00:31:51]And I mean Goonies was a classic, too.

[00:31:54]But like Yeah, that like Big was one of my >> go over the weekend.

[00:31:57]>> Daryl Hannah Splash was dope.

[00:32:00]>> Mhm.

[00:32:00]>> And then um what's the boss man's name?

[00:32:03]>> Uh the owner of the toy company. I'm blanking on his name. Older guy. He was in >> I know. I forgot his name.

[00:32:08]>> Oh um >> forgot his name. He's a great actor.

[00:32:12]>> Toy Company, which mean >> uh Big the movie Big from >> Oh, >> Toy Company.

[00:32:19]>> Yeah.

[00:32:19]>> I can't think. Yeah. The other person in that pops into my head was um Elizabeth Perkins who was she was in My Sister's Keeper and I we didn't have any scenes together, but that was like another moment of me, you know, trying to nonchalantly walk by. Love was in that movie.

[00:32:33]>> Taking a picture with you. Oh my god, you're big.

[00:32:35]>> But I'm this guy John Love was in that.

[00:32:38]>> Yeah. Remember he was sitting next to the desk. Remember when Tom Hanks gets the job, the first job, he's doing like data entry and he's sitting right next to him, but he's super young. John Love it. But uh Robert, I don't know how to say his last name. Loia Logoia. L O G G I A.

[00:32:51]>> Oh, I know that name. Yes.

[00:32:53]>> Um cuz he was in um Scarface and Over the Top and >> Oh, that's right. He was the the mob boss, right? The head.

[00:32:59]>> Right. Right. Right. Yeah.

[00:33:01]>> Yeah.

[00:33:01]>> Let's see what else is there's another movie I'm thinking of that he was in and I'm I'm blanking on it. Oh, not that. I won't do that. [ __ ] Fat fingers. Hang on. Um, keep talking. I'm gonna find this.

[00:33:12]>> Okay. So, when did you book Halloween Town? And when you went into uh uh being part of it, did you think it was going to be a hit or did you even know it was going to be a hit?

[00:33:20]>> I I didn't really know like because Disney Channel was newer and like it it Yeah, we weren't sure, but I certainly hearing that Debbie Reynolds was going to play my grandma, I was like, "Oh my gosh, wow." like and so it that obviously took it to just a different level I think but um it I don't think it was until years later I just um that it didn't really I don't know it didn't really click with me I think until it had been out for a few years and um and certainly when we got to do a sequel when we got to do Halloween Town 2 that was >> that was kind of the first indicator I guess that it was yeah it was a little bit like bigger than I knew do because they were wanting to like make a sequel and they hadn't quite done that, right?

[00:34:07]>> So, it was and certainly over the years I think it's just >> it's it's been amazing to watch it grow, but it um >> Yeah, I think it was kind of a slow it was a slow roll out I feel like for the first few years.

[00:34:21]>> That's awesome.

[00:34:21]>> Yeah, >> I was going to say I need to give her her flowers because she's the first uh matriarch, the first woman to be on this set with us. Um, usually we were shooting in in in another um uh spot, but this specific set, this is our second uh time that we're doing um the shooting here. So, I want to give you your flowers for being the first woman on this set.

[00:34:43]>> Well, thank you. I appreciate that. It's an awesome set, too. So, I'm honored.

[00:34:47]>> Well, it's all for you.

[00:34:50]>> It's now yours.

[00:34:51]>> It's now yours.

[00:34:52]>> Fantastic.

[00:34:53]>> From Halloween talent to Taboo Comics.

[00:34:55]>> Yeah. There you go.

[00:34:56]is they're ever talking about like a reprise of the doing another one.

[00:35:01]>> That would be dope.

[00:35:01]>> Doing like a fourth and you now you're the mom or >> we would all love to do another one.

[00:35:07]They've they've asked over the years, but um and and certainly fans ask me literally every day. Um and and I just tell them, "Hey, Disney knows that I'm down to do another one, but the the ball's in their court." So, >> literally.

[00:35:21]>> Yeah. Literally in their court. Um but yeah, my gosh, we would love that.

[00:35:25]Especially because uh Daniel, who played the bad guy in Halloween Town 2, is now my husband in real life. So, >> wow.

[00:35:32]>> There's that took on a whole little >> a different life of itself.

[00:35:36]>> Did that spark happen on set or it happened later in life or like >> It happened later in life. Yeah, we we worked together and had a good time and uh hung out a little bit afterwards, I guess, but didn't see each other for probably a good 12 years at least and then >> Oh, wow.

[00:35:53]>> came back full circle. Yeah, we were social media friends and stuff, but I reached out to him because I was filming some uh comedy stuff for my socials and I was like, "Hey, like the fans will think that this is cool." And um yeah, and it just kind of one thing led to another and suddenly it was like, "Oh."

[00:36:08]And that, you know, that was about nine or 10 years ago now. We got married almost two years ago. And the fans have just, you know, they have loved the uh we we've just really loved seeing their >> their reaction over the years because he was >> he was the bad guy that tried to also flirt with Marne and Marne kind of fell for it for the first few minutes >> until she realized who he was.

[00:36:30]>> And so I have I have had a lot of fans in the years since go, "Oh, I I shipped them," which is I think what the kids call it, shipping. Um, and and I just always laugh cuz I was like, Marne would have never gone for the bad guy. Like, so it's, you know, makes it even more ironic in real life. But >> did you ever have an attraction to him on set?

[00:36:50]>> No, I didn't never really >> Hey, what is this? What is this?

[00:36:54]Heraldo.

[00:36:56]>> Heraldo.

[00:36:56]>> No, not to say like, you know, >> I'm curious how that if it came full circle and you were like, you know, like I always thought you were handsome when we filmed it. I'm glad we met again. I definitely thought he was like sweet and charming and attractive. Yeah. But I just never thought >> friendly.

[00:37:09]>> It was not Yeah.

[00:37:11]>> That's not to say get away from me.

[00:37:13]>> No, it's just one of those things that I just didn't, you know, never entertained at the time and tried to keep, you know, the work stuff professional and um and he was in a relationship at the time and all that, but yeah. So, it didn't didn't happen till way later, but it's it's uh which has made it even more, you know, really feel special and like, you know, it was meant to be. Was it natural to gravitate to comedy? Were you inspired by Lucille Ball and and Carol Bernett and those type of actresses?

[00:37:40]>> I think I was. Gosh, yes. Carol Bernett for sure. My goodness. Annie was another movie that I watched just endlessly as a kid. Yes.

[00:37:49]>> And the fact that Carol Bernett was I mean I don't I mean Go ahead. Go ahead.

[00:37:53]>> Oh, no. I I She was one that Yeah. I I think I got to meet her I think at the the Tony's one year and that was at like 9 or 10 years old and that was like another just moment where you know you your childhood meets your you know like your childhood dreams meet your current life. Um and that was pretty cool but and I grew up on like the Disney the puffy Disney VHS tapes too you know like Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.

[00:38:19]Like >> those were my jam. I watched them over and over again. and I would act them out, you know, like. So that was kind of Yeah, those were those were some of my favorites, I think.

[00:38:29]>> But comedy because you >> Oh, I was going to say thank you. Um I think that Yeah, definitely Carol Bernett and I think just some of that early Disney stuff I think too. Um I really just gravitated towards. But it wasn't I Debbie Reynolds was always very sweet. I had done a lot of drama, I guess, up to that point. I was on a soap opera for like five years and I had done Broadway and soap opera.

[00:38:57]>> Guiding light. It's no longer on the air, but it was like the longest running soap at the time.

[00:39:01]>> Yeah.

[00:39:01]>> Yeah. So, that was >> I got to like, you know, really from like nine on just really play some fun >> story lines. Like my mom was presumed dead, but come to find out years later she was found in Amish country cuz she had lost her memory and like you know just story line for >> Yeah. just typical you know everyday after school special. Um so that was that was funny. But like Debbie Reynolds was was sweet and kind of uh calling out to me a little bit like oh you like do you like comedy? Like you're you're good at it. like and so I think it just kind of naturally um yeah more of those types of projects came along but it would kind of I also did like I I bounced into horror for a minute too. I did a Stephen King miniseries called Rose Red. Um I think it was in between the first and second Halloween Town. So I was very grateful to be able to to play in all different kinds of >> you know genres. Yeah, >> dude. She said horror film. I like that.

[00:40:02]What what's a what's a line that you mostly get from Halloween Town? Like when the fans approach you, what's like their fa their fan what's the fan favorite?

[00:40:09]>> Uh probably Halloween is cool. That's the one that like people have literally come up to me and been like say it. And I didn't know that was the line cuz uh being normal is vastly overrated is another >> quote that Debbie says that it's just so great. Um, and I would have thought that one, but it and that one is popular, but certainly just in autographs, everything people love really grabbed onto that line.

[00:40:32]>> Just Halloween is cool.

[00:40:34]>> Yeah. Like, well, she's I'm saying it to my brother at the time. So, I say like, um, Halloween is cool, nature boy. And so, I think that's why that kind of like attitude with it. But people, you know, they love the Halloween is cool. They just it cracks me up. Have you thought about um you know working more with Disney u like maybe creating something specifically that you um maybe u showrun or or or write?

[00:41:01]>> I mean that would be that would be amazing. Yeah. Um I I haven't as much but they I've done some producing here and there and it's mainly been with like some indie films. Um, but I yeah, they they do so much great content now and I I've been doing some stuff with uh Disney Plus over the years with like uh we did a they did a trick-or- treat like Halloween event last year that they asked me to host and stuff. So that's like it's been fun to bring in like some of the the newer generation of fans that you know have watched it and stuff. So that's that's it comes full circle in that way too.

[00:41:37]>> D23.

[00:41:38]>> I haven't been there yet. No, but I've I did an event with them at Disney Studios, but I haven't been to that actual Yeah. event. It looks like a blast. Like I I think they would just lose me in the crowd of like going around and having fun, you know? They'd be like, "No, no, no. You actually need to come >> work." Yeah.

[00:41:55]>> Over here.

[00:41:56]>> Yeah.

[00:41:57]Um, I like the the fact that you were able to live out childhood dreams as like you said you wanted to do you were always inspired by um plays or musicals, right?

[00:42:10]>> Yes. Yeah. I started on Broadway when I was young. Like my first one of my first major jobs at at 7 years old was a a play called uh Four Baboons Adoring the Sun at Lincoln Center. So that was that was huge to me and that I I can vividly remember at like 7 years old being standing on stage and looking out and being like this I never want to stop doing this like whatever >> whatever the connection was that I made at that time like um I think it was that feeling like performing and getting to >> I hadn't quite you know like you get older and you start thinking about nerves and all that kind of stuff but there's something so special about like that aspect of childhood where you don't have as much of that awareness. And so I've always tried to just make sure I still have that that love and that feeling like connect back to that initial like oh gosh I want to do this forever you know and yeah that's how I knew >> I feel like that with um you know just the idea of continuing storytelling.

[00:43:09]>> Yes.

[00:43:10]>> Um I always say this that in my backyard I would create these little episodes or or you know stories with my G.I. shows or whatever action figures, >> which in turn led me to to be able to be a storyteller with Marvel Comics.

[00:43:23]>> Yeah.

[00:43:24]>> Um and now being able to have this platform to to give people their flowers and give a voice to the fans to let them know like, you know, we know what you've worked on uh in the past. Is there anything new that we can look out for?

[00:43:37]>> Yeah, there's um last fall I did uh a movie called uh Haul out the Halloween for Hallmark Channel. Um, and my husband and I got to Daniel and I got to play a couple moving into the neighborhood. And um, so that is like a a newer fun Halloween project that will come out again, you know, this fall.

[00:43:58]>> She's the Mariah Carey of Halloween.

[00:43:59]>> Yeah. Right. Is it like a hor cuz Hallmark can go either way. It can be like a love thing or it can be like >> he murders you at the same >> It's an important question to ask.

[00:44:10]>> I like that. Okay.

[00:44:12]>> Mark is happy.

[00:44:14]>> They are. Yeah. They tend to stay a little bit more on the staying alive side of things.

[00:44:18]>> He he knows more of the network. Okay.

[00:44:20]So So clearly you're alive in this film.

[00:44:22]>> Yes. Yeah. We all stay alive which is which is great. Um, it's a it's a third movie actually in the Hall Out the Holly series for them which was based around Christmas and my best friend Lacy Shabar stars in it with Wes Brown. So this third movie uh they decided to like have it center around Halloween. So it's it's more the familyfriendly neighborhood culde-sac party kind of thing, but there is a wedding at the beginning of it. So you do get some some love and some spookiness for those uh who don't like to be scared like me. Um, I enjoy acting in the genre, but I I'm too much of a scaredy-cat to watch them.

[00:44:58]>> Not the like gory jump scare stuff. I just Yeah. I And I've seen obviously the classics like Halloween and all that like and >> they're great, but I I maybe it's just as I've gotten older, my nervous system is like >> My nervous system is >> Let's just watch a little lighter.

[00:45:15]So Halloween and Freddy Krueger and Jason you'll watch, but is it more like demonic [ __ ] you won't watch or or is it like to be fair? I don't watch the Conjuring.

[00:45:25]>> No, I've never seen the Conjuring movies all those types of movies.

[00:45:28]>> I did watch some of the Saw movies. I only saw The Ring because I auditioned for the sequel. There's one. Um so that one it was like, "Okay, this is work.

[00:45:36]Like I'll just watch it, you know, and I'm like white knuckling it the whole time. It scares the crap out of me." Um >> so no, I don't. Yeah, I had seen Halloween. I think is like you have to watch this. It's a classic. Like come on. But um yeah, I like I like a little bit more of the adventure and the suspense without like just jumping out and like systematically killing everybody. I'm just like I don't like everybody knows where it's heading. Like can we you know >> just get there already. Yeah.

[00:46:02]>> Can we can we give Jam Lee Curtis her flowers?

[00:46:08]>> I mean that franchise has stood the test of time.

[00:46:10]>> Yes. What? 35, 40 years, whatever it's been, >> bro. It's since the 70s, >> right?

[00:46:15]>> It was the first one in the 70s. Okay. I thought it was like early 80s 40 something years. Yeah.

[00:46:20]>> And she just stepped right back into it recently. Like, no time had passed. I was like, you go, girl. Like, yeah, it was awesome.

[00:46:26]>> I just love seeing that. I love seeing um heroes like that that continue to just push the envelope and continue giving back. Um, those are the the figures and the icons that I always like to um show my appreciation for. I want to show my appreciation for you coming out, spending time with us. I know that we're running out of time. Is there anything you wanted to say?

[00:46:47]>> I got one more question. Um, what would have been a dream role for you that that like something that already happened in the past, but a role that you thought you would have done good?

[00:46:57]>> Um, could it be any role? You mean like not necessarily one I was up for?

[00:47:01]>> Um, yeah. The Good Wife is like one of my all-time favorite shows. Juliana Margarles and um just a an amazing cast.

[00:47:10]Um Christine Bransky, that's what I was trying to think of.

[00:47:13]>> But that that role, she was a attorney and you know, wife of a politician who had just um he had gotten, you know, he was in a scandal that was making headlines. So it she she's got to do so much with that that role. And like one of my it's I feel silly saying it, but one of my dreams along the way is to play a lawyer. I've gotten very close to it. There's another, you know, >> that actually, >> but it would like her.

[00:47:38]>> It's It's one of those jobs I think that I would would love to do in real life. I think I would be terrible at it cuz, you know, >> I think I'll be terrible >> because, you know, confrontation to me is hit or miss sometimes, but like I I'm just fascinated by it. So, there's been some roles like that. I think that uh yeah, I'd be just The good wife and um that would have been like one of my favorites.
