00:00What is it like now being out at this red carpet after the show's already out,
00:03and it's been receiving so much acclaim?
00:05Oh, well, I mean, I'm just so thrilled to be here.
00:07I can't really believe it.
00:08It's just actors celebrating actors.
00:10I've got a friend Chase Sweet Wonders here tonight.
00:12Studio is nominated.
00:15That's very surreal.
00:16I'm so proud of her, and to be here together is so wild.
00:22And I'm so glad that the show is out and that people are excited by it
00:25and excited for the next episodes to drop.
00:28And, yeah, I'm very thrilled and very grateful.
00:32What has the fan response been like for you,
00:34the way that people are sort of now rediscovering Carolyn?
00:37Well, I think that's the most exciting part.
00:38You know, obviously people, a huge amount of people hold her in such high regard
00:44and are familiar with her.
00:45But I think there's also a large amount of our viewers who aren't as familiar
00:50with Carolyn's backstory, in particular her life before John.
00:54And that was such an incredible chapter to embody a young woman in New York
01:00and trying to climb the ladder and was successful at it.
01:04She was very inspiring.
01:05I loved sort of being able to embody that moment.
01:10So I'm really just happy.
01:13And since we're here celebrating actors tonight, I'm asking everyone,
01:16what's the job that you landed where you were first like,
01:19okay, I think acting might work out?
01:21I don't know if you ever feel like acting's...
01:24Has someone said that yet?
01:25No.
01:25Oh, well, you know, you're just like waiting for...
01:30Every single job you get, you think it's going to be the last one, you know?
01:34I don't feel like it is for you right now.
01:36I think, I'm sure more are coming.
01:37Well, I'm...
01:38I really...
01:40I guess maybe my first...
01:41My first job, the Wilds, was really, really important to me.
01:44I got out of school and I booked a pilot and that felt...
01:47Jesse!
01:48We shot it in New Zealand and it was just...
01:50I can't believe I'm here with all these amazing young women
01:54who were also in a similar, you know, chapter of our careers,
01:59shooting in the most beautiful place in the world.
02:01And that was really special.
02:03And that, I think, is when I got my SAG card.
02:07There you go.
02:07That's amazing.
02:08SAG-AFTRA card.
