00:19I can't tell you where until I have your last name.
00:22No need to start around.
00:24Me name's where.
00:26Ian Ware.
00:27You're putting me on.
00:28It always sounds that way, but I'm not.
00:31Poor boy.
00:32I bet your life is that one trial after another.
00:36Not really.
00:37You get used to it after a while, don't you?
00:38What?
00:40No, no.
00:40Where?
00:43Right.
00:47That was such a fun show to be on because, you know,
00:52I joined it after it had been on the air for a few years.
00:56I was in, like, the fifth season, I think.
00:58Um, so it was the first time that I'd ever been out to California.
01:03I got the job in New York and then had to fly out to California.
01:07Um, and it was really funny because, as you remember, that character was supposed to be
01:12British.
01:12And so I remember going into the audition, doing a British accent the whole time and kind of pretending that I actually was British, you know, me, the actor, not just the character.
01:23Um, and I played a David Bowie song for my audition.
01:27And I played young Americans on guitar.
01:29And, um, and it was, it was so exciting and so thrilling to get to, you know, go out to California, move out to California.
01:39Um, um, I had an uncle who lived out there, so I knew one person, but that was about it.
01:44Um, and that show was so fun because every day was something different.
01:50You know, there were some episodes where your character was the focus of the episode and other episodes where you were just basically, uh, an extra with, you know, a couple of lines.
02:01Um, which was great because it really taught you the value of being part of an ensemble and part of a company and, you know, nobody was the star.
02:12Uh, everybody was kind of on equal footing and sometimes you were in the front and sometimes you were in the background and, uh, and that was a great lesson.
02:19It also was a great lesson in, um, in working on camera because I hadn't really done that much at that point.
02:26And, uh, they would let me go into the editing room and watch how the editors put stuff together and they would let me go in and watch dailies to sort of learn how what I thought I was doing actually looked like on camera.
02:40So it was kind of like a graduate school in film acting for me and I really took advantage of that.
02:47And, and then, you know, one, one day you would be doing dance rehearsals to learn a dance number in the, in the school cafeteria or one day you'd be in the recording studio in these big fancy recording studios, uh, doing the tracks that you would be singing to later and other days you'd be on set.
03:08So it was, it was, it was always different and it was always fun and it was, you know, a big group of people and who, all of whom got along great.
03:17And it was just a really terrific job and a great, a great thing early in your career to experience.
03:24And I got to have tons of hair.
03:38Go on, Mr. Ware, don't stop on my account.
03:50I hear you're leaving the school.
03:53The word gets around, doesn't it?
03:55Look at it this way.
03:56Your next music teacher will undoubtedly be a lot hipper than I am.
04:01It's probably true.
04:03You know, Mr. Ware, you obviously have a great deal of talent.
04:07It's a shame you're willing to waste it on something as frivolous as bluegrass and rock and roll.
