Season 6’s “Cutting the Cord” might include some iconic Karaoke scenes - but something still felt off for our hosts. They knew they wanted to learn more about that week of filming, so they sat down with actress Heather Marie Marsden, who played Kelly, Shawn’s rebound date in the episode, to find out what she remembers.
Heather reveals that she auditioned for BMW with a totally different song, and her music career didn’t end after being “rejected” at Pennbrook.
Plus, Heather opens up about her experience being “dumped” on other TV shows, like California Dreamin’ and The Office! But we’re far from breaking up with you, our loyal listeners, on an all-new Pod Meets World!

eight dollars and a half of back Eminem's go make
a movie.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, and the regular and the kids are so talented kids.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
And none of them were Disney Channel stars.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
That's the other thing that was so different about this

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah right, right, yeah, And.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Then they offered me one the next year and I
turned it down and I never got an offer again anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Do you remember the one they offered you? I'm so curious.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
No, I have no idea. I just know that I
it was. It was partly material because I remember I
had not had a good time on Summertime Switch. I
was just like, I don't want to do this. It
was also just not wanting I wanted to have the
summer like I remember correctly. It was like I just
wanted to have some free time because we were we
knew we were coming back from both.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
They never asked me I, which doesn't make any doesn't
make any sense to me, doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm amazed that you are now not the go to
dcom mom.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I mean, why am I not?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I see, I think I'm perfect dcom dad age, and
so you and I as decom parents.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Listen, we may not be able to get Hallmark to
give us a movie, but maybe we could get Disney
to give.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Us a movie.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I think as long as we don't have to sing
or dances, gonna sings.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Probably don't listen with technology these days. I'm willing to
sing because they'll make me sound good.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Technology isn't going to do for my dancing. I can
tell you that true world. I'm daniel Fishel, I'm right
or Strong, and I'm Wilfordelle.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
If our listeners have taken anything away from season six
so far, it might be that some of us were
already what we've called out of body. Some scenes, you're
seeing Sean and Tabanga on screen, they're saying the lines,
but Writer and Danielle they're somewhere else completely, most likely
reading a book or talking to their crush on the phone,
(04:11):
or maybe even reading a book while talking to their
crush on the phone. Who knows, well, I do know
one thing. Some episodes, some scenes of Boy Meets World
are completely new to us. We have never seen them.
We weren't in them. We have no idea they exist.
Some have live bears, some don't. And this week we
(04:32):
are bringing on a guest star, someone who was there
for our recent laps. We stumbled upon she was great
in the season six episode Cutting the Cord, playing Sean's
new possible girlfriend stuck on a double date, while unfortunately
Angela was just too fresh on his mind. And yes,
we are going to learn more about the karaoke scene.
(04:53):
She began her career as a child prodigy, dancing at three,
playing the cello at seven, and performing in local plays
at the thirteen. Lucky for us, she would come to
Hollywood for acting, appearing on California Dreams, Step by Step,
Pacific Blue, and Zoe Duncan, Jack and Jane. She'd also
continue showing off her dance skills and some pretty massive
movies that we will talk to her about. But you
(05:14):
might know her from the Office, where she appeared in
one of my favorite episodes, Andy's play in their local
production of Sweeney Todd as Missus Lovett. Just the best,
So welcome to Pod meets World. Not only the best
singing voice in that Boy Meets World episode, but also
the best singing voice on this Pod Meets World episode.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's Heather Marie Marsden.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh my gosh, I can hear you.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Well, you know you gotta make an entrance.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I love it. Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
We just recently watched Cutting the Cord, the season six
episode that you guest starred on, and you were great.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
We have some questions because.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It appears as though Rider and I especially have blocked
out some things from this episode, like the episode, like I.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Remember, you literally didn't remember anything, Danielle, Yeah, I remember,
I remember working with Heather. I remember singing being nervous
like I did. Remember.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, you remembered some feelings of pressure and stress, and
so we're hoping Heather can enlighten us maybe by telling
us a little bit more about your experiences that week.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Is this too much pressure for me?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (06:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Okay, great?
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Oh my gosh, Rider, I feel so bad that this
was such a stressful thing for you, And I wanted
to say that you guys were kind enough to send
a link. Yeah, but I didn't need that because.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I have as Yes, what did they charge you for?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
How much did they charge you exactly?
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Let's see, Well, it's a company that I'm sure probably
doesn't exist anymore in the valley, but they probably charged
what twenty five dollars? Do you think for taping the air?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Do you still have a VCR to be able to
watch that?
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Good.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Good for you.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I'm in the of transferring all my VHS tapes to
digital and it's mortifying.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah yeah, but this wasn't good. So you writer, when
was the last time you had seen the episode?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Yesterday?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Well before that, before we asked you to watch it,
when the last time you.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Had seen it? Watch it every day?
Speaker 6 (07:47):
I watch it every day. I can play all the roles.
I will say that episode I learned, you know, I'm
a mom now, and I learned more about giving birth
from Will's storyline, Oh you're welcome.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I was like, oh yeah, and I used to hearing that.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, hears that all the time. He's very, very skilled
with the child labor.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I am.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I'm a lamas DA coach, so very skilled.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
So funny. First of all, I don't know if you know,
and I don't know what order of scripts you guys got,
but when I auditioned for the role, the role is
actually very different. She was a very quiet, subdued girl
who's sag war the song that you say oh in
like crazy voices. Oh.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
So the joke was like Sean's dating a crazy yeah,
crazy girl. Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
I remember something about they said, you know, be like
you're you like to go to church, and you're very
demure and everything, and I just and then you know
what you know? And they did all these like they
wanted to have crazy voices for the song, which I
wonder why.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Changing Maybe though the note was, can we not have
it be that the girl he's on the date with
is crazy or seems weird, that she's actually lovely and
he just can't get over you know what I mean? Like,
I can see that being an important note that we
shouldn't put him on a date with someone who people
are like, well, why would he like this girl when
he's when he clearly could be with Angela?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So I can I can.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
See how they wanted to see your chops in the
room and to know whether or not you could play comedy,
but ultimately they wanted you to be a more believable,
truly datable partner for Sean right.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Well, you know, funny thing at that time, I was
brought in so many I played so many girls who
got dumped on TV. I thought if I sat and counted,
I just might be sad. But I was brought in
so many times to be the new girl, or the
new date, or the one to make the other one
jealous and et cetera, et cetera. And then I've been
(10:03):
dumped on TV a lot.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Who's the most famous, not person, but TV character that
you've ever been dumped by?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Well, I was just thinking about the fact that this
is so ridiculous. I do you guys remember suddenly Susan
of course Shields?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yes, so lovely.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
By the way, So, so she was dating, Uh the
actor was rob Estie's right, Their characters were dating. So
they broke up and then I was the new girlfriend.
That was like, wow, uh that's Brooke Shields. Yeah, uh okay,
but then he dumped me too.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Okay, So rob Esti's most famous character is the most
famous dumper, so dumper.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah, so so that one.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
For So you sang War for your audition?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Correct? And what is it good for getting a job
on Boy Meets World?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah? Absolutely everything? Say yeah, so you got the job
based on that performance.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
They didn't bring you back into singing something else?
Speaker 6 (11:05):
No, wow, I know, so that was so different but
so different.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
But did they know you were a singer? Did they
know you could really sing other than the War example?
Did they know you had an incredible voice?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Oh, you're so sweet? Danielle, Can I just put you
right here. That's a really sweet thing to say. It's around.
It's so true, Thank you. I don't know. I mean,
at that time, I was I was recording all the time,
and I was performing all the time as a singer.
So I'm sure on my resume and I'm saying on
TV and film a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Okay, so I'm.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
In the room it came up. But I just remember
that and then getting the script and going, oh my gosh,
I'm a totally different girl.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, geez, that's great.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
So you had already made a brief stop on TGIF
in Step by Step.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
But were you when you got the audition for Boy
Me World? Were you aware of what Boy Meets World was?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
I remember you guys were everywhere at the time.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Okay, okay, but.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
You weren't from You didn't watch the show yourself, but
you were aware of Like, okay, I know that show exists.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I've seen these faces. Yes, okay, oh for sure.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Who dumped you on Step by Step?
Speaker 6 (12:18):
You know now that you're bringing it up. I hope
I wasn't dumped on Step by Step. I don't I
don't think I was dumped.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Up Okay, okay, you got to do something totally awesome.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
I got to do I got to stretch.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh great, nice.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Well, as we mentioned, your history with music is pretty
mind blowing.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You grew up in Detroit, You.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Began dancing at three, playing the cello at seven, and
you played in the Detroit Civic Symphony Orchestra.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Were your parents musical? How did you How were you
just so musical at such a young age.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Well, first of all, the Civic is like a feeder orchestra, Okay,
like a training orchestra, so you know, you do. I
did have to do those blind auditions. I don't know
if you've ever seen them in a movie, but you
you play your instrument behind a wall and so they're
(13:14):
just listening, they can't see, are.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Trying to diminish the orchestra? You were part of no orchestra,
But I just I want to be clear.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
I was not part of the professional Detroit Symphony orchestra.
The Civic was like the Detroit Civic, So I just
I just want to I never got that good, but
I did have the blind audition experience, which is absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And so what happened with that? You get up there?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
I got into the civic. So I played in that
for a couple of years and and then you know, do.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
You remember the piece? Do you remember what piece you were?
You were your audition piece was with the cello.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
I'm curious, No, fair enough, you know, actually had war
now it was, but then they changed it when I
got there.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Actually I still do play live. It's fun. I play
in a band and I pull it out every once
in a while, but I play with people. I sing
with people who are much better cellis than me. So
you know, you let people do what.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
They do, right, Yeah? Yeah, but how does a seven
year old pick up the cello? Like, both literally and figuratively,
it seems rather heavy. But also, how were your parents'
musical How did that come to you?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah? So both of my parents were public school teachers,
and they were art teachers. So my mom was yay
public art school teachers. Yeah, we need you, we love you.
So my mom was taught band and orchestra and choir,
and then my dad was a theater teacher, and they
had art and drafting, photography. That goes back, but so
(14:59):
I grew up in that environment. But it was definitely
my mom had me and my sister both pick an
instrument at that age. So I picked cello. I just
like the sound of it.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, and I still do.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, Yeah, me too.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Do you do you play?
Speaker 8 (15:16):
Will?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I have no musical talent whatsoever, but I'm I've always
been drawn to the cello. And I think the first
time I heard yo yo ma do box prelude, I would,
That's where I was like, just it sucked in.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
So yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
It is.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It's an absolutely gorgeous instrument. It speaks to me.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I don't know why it sounds so crazy, but it
always has. It absolutely speaks to me.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
The cello.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
It's beautiful. Well, it's it's very similar to the human voice,
so I think we kind of absorb interesting, yeah, or
we relate to it or something.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So how do you transition then from cello to TV?
What's the what's the transition? When do you become an actor?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
My gosh?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
So when well, really, in high school, you know, musicals
were my thing, and I was better at that than
my cello. There were many people much better than me
at that, so I started I started getting into acting
in high school. But my first professional job was a
(16:21):
was Sweet charity tour, which is a musical. Probably nobody
even now is anymore. It's an old Fosse show. But
that was my first, my first professional job, if you
don't count me thinking that I was a professional, like
in preschool standing in the aisle at kmart singing white people.
In my brain, I thought, I am supposed to be here.
(16:43):
I'm going to do a show for you know, you'll
get the blue Light special. I will sing a song
from Annie.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
So how old were you then when you did the musical?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Oh my gosh, okay, so times were different. I was seventeen.
I graduated a year early from school from from school,
so anyway, so I was seventeen. I was, and I
we didn't.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Have like.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Those permits and stuff that kid that child, you know
actors have now and stuff. So I auditioned. I got
the job. My mom said go ahead, and I kid
you not. I carried around a permission slip case I
got injured, because you can't treat a minor at the hospital,
you know, so I had. This was before cell phones,
(17:32):
So yeah, I had a permission slip and a fake ID.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Oh my gosh, so that you could get treated in case, just.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
In case, yeah, in case you needed a hospital once
to drink. It was in case you needed to like
set a forearm or something. You have a fake ID.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
God, that's so funny.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Isn't that funny? And I think about it now, I
think that is so ridiculous. That wouldn't even that. What
would that fly? I don't even know, but.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
It was back then it would have.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I mean, we talk about some stories here of things
we did or of getting injured on the set or
stuff like that, where it's kind of it's just a
whole different ballgame nowadays than when it was.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Back in the day.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
It was kind of being like will will You were
never carted for cigarettes at yet, which is twelve, Yeah,
and then a Boy Meets World said maybe you shouldn't
be smoking kid. Now, I guess they did say it sometimes, right,
some people said it, but.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Maybe in a judgmental way.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Not so.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
The only person, the only person who would do it
all the time was Bill. And it was always just
because I kept him in my breast pocket. He would always,
I've told the story, he would just tap them and go,
ah nice, keep them right near your heart. And he
would do that every single so whenever that's just tap
it right next to your heart, that's all he would do.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Uh so, yeah, but no one. I don't recall anybody ever.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Saying you should hey at sixteen, you shouldn't be smoking
the set of Boymen like that.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Never happened, Never happened. Yeah, different times, different times.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So at seventeen, when did the musical Sweet Charity?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, okay?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And then and you're living in Detroit, do you when
do you make the trek to Hollywood?
Speaker 6 (19:04):
So somewhere in there, somewhere in there. I moved to
New York first, and then and because I wanted to
be on Broadway, and then I ended up making my
way to Los Angeles. And you know, at that time,
(19:25):
you they didn't like it if you had theater, especially
musical theater on your resume.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
So I remember my first manager, she took them, She
took all that stuff off, and so that I could
start getting into film and TV, which I was totally
interested in. And that's and that's how it happened. But
the first job I did in LA was a chorus line, so,
you know, and I didn't have a car, and I
had a ten speed bike and I would ride my
(19:53):
bike to the theater and then stand on the line
in chorus line, they call it the line and you
and there's no intermission, so you're standing on the line
for two hours, and you know, my quads were like
huge from dancing and then riding my bike back to
the housing that they gave us for the theater.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Did you then, when you get the audition for Boy
Meets World and you book the job and you now
are working in Hollywood, did anyone ever mention to you
whether or not you were related to Jason Marsden.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Oh, my gosh, okay, so uh Jason and I. So
Jason was on Step by Step yes, and.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
On Boy Meets World.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Oh that's right, he did a bunch of episodes.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Okay, So he and I did have a conversation one time,
and we think that we are related a couple generations back. Okay,
So that's.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But you know, do we know?
Speaker 6 (20:53):
I mean, well twenty three he has not shown up
on my twenty three and me, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Hope you've deleted that by now.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I was gonna say, yeah, the government will I know?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Right? Oh, I just got all my data.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Okay, good, I just got all my data.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I haven't gone and deleted it. That's a lot of
data to be sent.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I know it was.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Okay, so you're in LA and one of your first
gigs was a three story arc on California Dreams. A
perfect mixture for your past and music and now your
journey in acting was jumping on a TV set?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Intimidating for you at all?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
No, I loved it so much. And you know I
love sitcoms. I love sitcoms, and the the pacing of
a sitcom is so similar to musical anyways, right.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
With Yeah, there's a rhythm.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Yeah, but California Dreams. Yeah, two lot of those three episodes,
I got dumped. I was a prom date.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Wait, how'd you get jumped?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Were you playing the same character that gets dumped twice?
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Moving me around?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I think they dumped by different people.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
You just keep getting dumped by that.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
I was, wow, that's impressive to be dumped on multiple
episodes of the episode.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
I think, when I haven't seen that thing in a
long time. But but I didn't play any instruments or anything.
I didn't sing on that.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Wait, you went on singing sitcom and you didn't sing
on the singing?
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Yeah, you know, it's a really weird experience. Here's a
weird experience. So through the years, I've written a lot
of music that and songs that have been licensed by
film and TV. And there was an episode of Lawn
and Order see I and I had written the song
and it was my vocal on it, and it was
a story line where the pop star was the murderer
(23:03):
and they used my song to be her hit song
and my voice was coming out of her body in
the episode, which is so and she looked like me.
So that was so weird.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Did they give you at least the opportunity to audition
for the role of the possible killer on CI?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
I mean is that?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
That was New York. I think they did that.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yeah, they do. They do the stuff there. Yeah, okay, yeah, wow.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
So life is funny, you know. I was thinking, this industry,
you start one way and you think you're going to
do something, and then these odd things come your way
and they're so cool, like some of the just some
of the I just feel like we're so lucky to
be able to be creative and meet all these different
(23:50):
people and have all these different experiences around the world. Arts.
It's just the best.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well, especially for people like you who are good at
all of it. You're a good actor, You're a good singer,
You're a good dancer.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I mean, at this point now you're still dancing.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
You got gigs in two classic movies, Austin Powers and
That Thing You Do?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Did you I watched that thing you do last night?
Did you really? I literally watched that thing you do
last night? That's so funny, you guys.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Okay, I have two stories for you if you want, yes, please,
So one, do you know that Tony Basil choreographed both
of those Well, she was the original choreographer for Austin Powers,
but she choreographed that Thing You Do. Do you know
who Tony is?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I know the name name?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yes, yes, hey Nicky? Right, hey Niki?
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Yes, yeah, So she choreographed both of those films, and
she was Bet Midler's choreographer for all those years.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Oh my gosh, where were you in that Thing You Do?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Were you one of the go Go dancers on the
stage when they were playing Now we were in.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
The b and us.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
In the there was a bunch of places.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
You were Captain Geech in the Shrimp Shack Shooters, gotcha,
my gosh.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yeah, that was Union where they made dancers.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Union.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
That was the first one. I remember on the beach.
It was winter and it was cold, bathing suits and
dancing in the sand. You know. Tom Hanks at the
end of the day applauded everybody because he directed yes,
and I was so blown away.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Wow that Wow.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
I worked with Colin to his son on a movie
in Iowa in the winter, So maybe I can only
work with the Hanks in the.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Winter under cold circumstances.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Everybody knows that, do you do you have one discipline
that you prefer? I mean, do you prefer dancing to singing?
You prefer acting to dancing and singing?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Is that if you had to focus on one, you're
only allowed to pick one? Which one would you do?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Well? I don't dance anymore and I have a very
long time, so that's easy that one out. So but
it's not like I'm out there, you know, hitting the boards.
No acting and singing. I can't ever pick. And that's
been that way for very, very very long time. I'm
I'm I'm fortunate enough that dance got me was a
(26:27):
point because you had access to that in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, okay, I want to get into Boy Meets World. Yes,
you're playing Kelly the somewhat hesitant love interest of Sean
just post his breakup. Do you remember the first time
you met Writer and what working with him was like
that week?
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Oh my god, I loved Writer. I still do. Hey, Writer,
I want your sour dough starter.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
You'll be my hook.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
I loved working with Writer. And can you say the
the Kelly my Date monologue? The Kelly my Date was brilliant.
Ye oh my god, I loved it.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
It was so good, so cute.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
You guys were also, you know, being when you come
on for one episode, you're a guest in somebody's house
and it is really nice and and you know the
series regular casts that have been you guys are a
machine and you've got it all down and you're a family.
And it was really nice coming onto this set. Everybody
(27:36):
was so warm and kind and it made it easy
because it's always like the first day of school. Yeah, yeah,
when you go onto a new.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Set, totally, there's so much to take in, all the
new people, the politics of it all, taking the relationships,
figuring out how to work with the director and the
producers and every out right.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
But you guys are amazing.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
I remember I remember the vocal coach on he goes uh,
he said something like sing average.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Oh, he didn't want you to be too good?
Speaker 6 (28:17):
What does sing average mean? How do I interpret that note?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Did you not sound so good?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Writer, you sounded great.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
You did sound I think it was digitally altered.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
But there is a great moment where writer slash Sean
grabs your chair and swings you around the table. Do
you remember rehearsing that, working on it, finding that in rehearsal?
Do you remember any of the non singing rehearsal moments.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
No, I'm glad.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
It's not just what I remember that moment either. It's
a big move, like it makes sense that you're a
dancer like that that could you helped make.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Out her balance exactly?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Yeah, It's pretty remarkable how quick like and easy it worked,
like I was.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Like this also, I mean it was also violent enough
to where you could have thrown somebody off that chair.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
No, and she was able to stay on it.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
And like writer said, I'm sure she was helping substantially
make that move happen.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
So anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Can't believe neither of you or none of us remember it,
because it's it's really well done.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Yeah, oh, well that's all righter.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Then no, no, okay, So you are a part of
a pretty infamous scene for Boy Meets World, and this
is where we realized we may have been forgetting a lot.
But the karaoke scene, we have Trina and her date
or Angela and her date, myself and Corey are performing War,
which we now know you auditioned with, and then you
(29:53):
and Sean singing I Got you, babe. What do you
remember about the song the rehearsing of it. We remember
it feeling pretty like there was like it was high stakes,
but that also may have just been because for for
those of us who are not singers, it is super
high up on our anxiety list to feel then uncomfortable
(30:16):
singing in front of people. So maybe it was just
us and maybe you don't remember it feeling high stress.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
What was it for you?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Wow? I love this conversation. It's so fascinating. Yeah, I know.
I just remember having a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Okay, good god, Yeah, fun is good.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Yeah, Writer was not was not having fun for writer.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
But I remember you were so helpful for me. I
don't know if you remember, but you changed the key
of our song, you like we did the table read
and then the first day of rehearsal, and you were
so confident and you obviously you just had the musical background,
and I remember you were like, we should, we should
have a meeting with the Ray Colecord, the music supervisor,
(31:03):
And so we got we had a phone call with him.
We went over to the where the phone, the stage
phone was. There was always a desk on the stage
phone and called him on speaker and he had like
his keyboard on the other and and you guys figured
out the key that was best for you and me,
and you're like, no, no, writer, you should sing higher,
(31:23):
and you like had him change the key right there,
and then he was like and you I was like, oh,
thank god, somebody knows what they're doing. And you like yeah.
And then the rest of the week was just me
trying to harmonize and I couldn't do it because I
would just always match your pitch. I was supposed to
be harmonizing with you, and I couldn't. I just couldn't.
And the and then that singing coach was there. He
wasn't there the first day, but then he came the
(31:45):
next week, and I remember him just being like he
was super supportive. But he was like, writer, you're a
e lead singer because lead singers can never harmonize. It's great,
sound great, I don't worry about it. That was his advice.
He's like, a real lead singer never can harmonize. Well,
so you're that just means you're elite singer.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
It's cool, dude, Okay, it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Another question for you that maybe you remember, because I
did not, the take of Ben and I singing war
that ends up being the tag of the episode where
we're laughing and we're breaking and we're clearly just having fun.
Was that one of the takes that we did in
the regular scene that just went off the rails and
(32:37):
they ended up using it as a tag.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Do you remember us? Do you remember watching.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Us do that and and and it being was it planned?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Was it off the cuff?
Speaker 6 (32:49):
I think I think it was from you guys performing
and they had it. You guys were hilarious, We were
having a Larry.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I said, it looks like we were having a lot
of fun.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
Oh my gosh, you were so funny in that thing.
That was brilliant. How many gold I remember thinking, don't
laugh because you know so that's why I think it
was part of the scene. Yeah, because if it wasn't
part of the scene, then I would have relaxed and.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Been like, exactly, I'm just gonna go are there they're laughing,
I'm just gonna laugh.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
But Kelly would not, you know. So, so that's why
I think it.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Was part of the It was it was planned that way.
We were supposed to do that. Okay, good, that's cute,
that's fun.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
It is, it's an awesome button.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Was that the first time you had ever performed in
front of a live studio audience on a sitcom? Or
was Step by Step also in front of a live
studio audience?
Speaker 6 (33:51):
Actually, all the sitcoms up until up till then, well
at that time, all of them were live, all of them. Okay,
I loved I think I only did one that was
not live.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Okay, Baby Box it was.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
There was no audience when I worked on that show,
but it was all live.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
But everything else and did you love it?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Do we talk about those live studio audience nights as
just being magical?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
It is magical, Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
That's what I miss more than anything else, I think,
other than working with the cast like just the kind
of company.
Speaker 8 (34:29):
Just show night.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
I mean, how do you It didn't even matter what
the episode was, just that night is so oh god,
it's absolutely it is.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
It's magical. It's the only word to use.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
And another thing I love. I know a lot of
actors hate this, but I love it is when during
show night when you'll get a new line, you know,
you'll rewrite something or try something out. I think that's
so fun and exciting. Well, because you.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Don't know what to expect from the audience as a
whole new energy, you get another jolt because it's like, ooh,
I gotta I hope I hit new line that I
just a new beat that I just have. Yeah, it really,
it's great.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
And now there were times on our show when it
would be a whole two pages that new scenes or
like yeah, I remember like sitting there and rewriting and
you say this and that, you know, and like literally Kathy,
our script supervisor, just writing out by hand on pencil
and then being like, oh so that would get a
little stressful, but I agree it was usually a positive thing.
It was usually like a high wire act that kind
(35:23):
of was exciting.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah, you get that adrenaline rush it's cool.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
You mentioned that you are a mom. You have a daughter?
Speaker 6 (35:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Has she ever seen your episode of Boy Meets World?
Speaker 6 (35:36):
No? I think she. She just asked me about it, okay,
and she's asked me about a couple of things that
you know, other kids have seen. But no, she hasn't
seen it yet.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Does it do whenever somebody finds out you were on
Boy Meets World? Does anyone ever care? Is it ever
something that comes up in your life?
Speaker 6 (35:57):
It makes me feel old.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I love that show, my mom, I love that show.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Kids love that show.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Now.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Yeah. Actually, my niece, Oh that's right. My niece just
sent me a text with a screenshot and went, Auntie,
is this you?
Speaker 8 (36:16):
It is?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
And it was from Boy Meets World.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Yeah, she's in her you know she's she's in the binge.
She's in the Boy Meets World binge.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Oh I love it. How old is she?

Speaker 9 (36:29):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (36:30):
See?
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:31):
And does your daughter show any musical inclination or acting
inclination or.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
You guys, she is so musical, she's got She did
a role with a very famous movie star and I'm
not sure if I can say quite yet, but in
a movie directed by Noah, bound Back that's coming out
this fall, amazing. I was on set watching her work
(36:57):
with this man and went, wow, wait till I tell
her who the person is.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
She has no clue now, so we didn't know. She
didn't know Hugh Jackman very close. Okay, just throw him out.
See what happened.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
And she also she's got a great voice. She's saying
on national commercials, and she's saying on Grammy Award winning
albums already, she's s session work.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Wow, old is she?
Speaker 6 (37:31):
She's eleven?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Man, that's so cool.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
I know it's nuts. And I just sit there. I'm
a studio mom, now you know. I I sit there
and have her do it again.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
No, yeah, giving notes.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
It's it's really it's it's really fun and exciting and
feels very full circle.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Together.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Well, I was gonna say, my goal is that we
do something together.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Ye right, of course, yeah, Oh that'd be so great.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
I mean, you make the joke about giving her notes,
but you did teach her how to play music at first,
right when she was younger.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Oh you do you remember? Yeah, she's she's excellent little pianist,
right right.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
And I remember because I remember asking you. I was
like how can I get my son to play? You're like,
you just got it. Is it the Suzuki method or whatever?
You like, you just got to do it. Yeah, you
just got to make them do it. At like three,
you were already like nope, you just got to sit
down and play. Yeah, you were like hardcore about it.
I loved it. It was awesome.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
But it worked.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
I mean yeah, no, totally. That was the thing. Your
whole point was like, they have to just always have
the instruments around, and you just do it, like every day,
like just get down or you know, at least once
a week or whatever, do it. And you were like yeah,
and it worked obviously.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Yeah, she's doing really well. We we do have a
lot of instruments around the house and I just lay
them out. I mean she's older now, but as a kid,
you know, you just lay them out and they just
twot on something or play on something.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah, and you.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Know, Ada has really we have two friends that have
drum kits at their house, and Adler has really gravitated
to the drums. He wants to sit there and and
figure it out. And I'm like, I don't like noise.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
He was drummer of the first band I was ever in. Yeah,
he played when we were all together.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Making our band.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
So yeah, he's the first drummer. Definitely.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
I forgot Uncle Will came over and Keating and Adler
and Will had a little band.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
It was so cute.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Absolutely, yeah, that's my first drummer and I think my
first guitarist.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
So we haven't we split up. I mean there's some
internal stuff, but mostly.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
The fact that they were four time.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
There might be it was mostly about nap time. And
honestly it was my nap time that was in the
way of.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Everything, exactly, kept getting in the way crazy. So I
cannot let you go before I talked to you about
the office where you got to be very meta and
you played an actress playing Miss love It in Sweeney
Todd in the episode Andy's play. This must have been
so much fun.
Speaker 6 (40:07):
Oh my gosh, you guys, it was a great So
there's an another added thing.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Okay, so okay, so yes, so.
Speaker 6 (40:14):
Uh we did we were we were a local theater company,
community theater. Yes, swing Sweeney Todd and Ed Helms's character
Andy was in the in the play. So we did
that play and originally they do you remember do you
know the character Kevin. Yeah, of course, okay, yeah, So
(40:37):
originally my character was Kevin's new girlfriend. Oh yeah, so
who was playing missus Lovett in the community theater production.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Okay, so we.
Speaker 6 (40:51):
Started that and we shot that, and then the next
day I went and got new script saying you are
no longer his girlfriend, you're his sister her, and so
then we filmed some scenes of us doing sibling things
on top of filming.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
I hate to point this out, but it's almost as
if you were dumped in that episode off camera against
I don't want to mention it, but it's kind of like, yike,
the actor. The writers were like, not the girlfriend someone,
you're now the sister.
Speaker 6 (41:37):
That's hilarious. Oh my gosh, it's true.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Took They took you full and of cleaves.
Speaker 5 (41:43):
Very interesting how they decided to do that from wife
to sister.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Now.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
Is this one of the things where, because I know
I'm a big Office fan and Daniel's a big Office
fan too, when you get the DVDs a lot of
times there's all the bonus footage that they have.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Is this something where we can actually see the stuff
that they shot.
Speaker 6 (42:00):
Yeah, one of the scenes, uh, one of our sibling
scenes is on the bonus cool but I I you know,
I got to wear these crazy wigs as missus love
it fun and oh my gosh, that were so cool.
And of course I got to sing in a local
community the my my version of a community theater Cockney accent.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
You know, I got to see this. I've never seen
this episode.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Oh it's a great episode.
Speaker 5 (42:29):
It is so funny how badly the play starts to
go in the middle, like it's doing really well, that
it starts to go really terribly.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
And then Andy just starts ad libbing on stage. It
is really funny.
Speaker 6 (42:40):
Yeah, I was gonna say, you know what, I've got
a prop over. I have a prop knife around here somewhere.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Yes, please, I'll get them knife.
Speaker 6 (42:48):
I have all sorts of goodies around here. But that
was a blast, so cool, a blast.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
So since season one of us doing this podcast, we
have been talking about wanting to build a time machine,
and we there are many things we want to build
a time machine for. We want to go back, we
want to appreciate the show more. We want to appreciate
lots of things more. If you could go back in
time to see young Heather, Marie Marston on the set
(43:16):
of Boy Meets World and you could talk to yourself,
what would you say.
Speaker 6 (43:22):
Wow, that's intense, Danielle.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Sorry, sorry, that's what we do here. We'd like to Wow.
Speaker 6 (43:29):
What would I say? Oh, my gosh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (43:35):
This is gonna sound so but I one thing I
did learn young was to definitely appreciate things as I went,
and so I I do. I just remember having maybe
I would have maybe I would have not been I
wouldn't say that I was shy, but maybe I would
(43:57):
have talk to you guys more in a you know, yeah,
maybe like that. That just sounded like we didn't talk that,
which is not accurate.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
No, but you were probably, like you said, when you
come on, when you're a guest star and you come
on to a show, your natural tendency is to just
sit back and watch.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
And yeah, try to blend in. And I like that.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
I like the idea of saying, you're there, you got
here here for a reason, join in, talk more, participate more,
act like you belong because you do.
Speaker 6 (44:35):
Yeah. Yeah, but I just remember that was one of
the sets that was so fun and so nice. So
there's not a lot.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I'm glad to hear that. That's good.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah, makes us.
Speaker 6 (44:49):
Happy, you know, because you know it's not always like that.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Yeah, exactly, it's not.
Speaker 6 (44:57):
Right, So there's not so it's it's all good.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
You mentioned that you are now a stage mom for
your daughter, who's working and successful in her own right.
What else are you working on now? Where can people
find you? Where can people see you? What are you doing?
What do you want people to know?
Speaker 6 (45:16):
Well, I'm still out there because I'm a Chiteau for life. Yeah,
a lifer. You're born that way, right. Sometimes you wish
you could just take it off. And the only time
that I ever wished there was one one moment that
I the only time in my life I ever thought
I don't have to be an actor anymore. And it
(45:37):
was a fleeting thought, was after I had my daughter,
and I thought, looking at this baby, I was just like, Wow,
I don't have to be anybody else. I don't have
to step into any other world. I can just be here.
But anyway I'm around. And also I fell into a
(45:57):
band with some amazing musicians. Do you guys you know
Game of Thrones? Right, of course we've heard of it. Okay,
So the cell is for that is my bandmate. We
play yeah, it's he plays electric cello, he plugs it
in so cello and guitar and drums and myself and
we play a lot of music festivals and wineries. We
(46:20):
played wineries. Now that's so cool, Jones House and we
release singles on you know the streamers.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
And do you have a website or in instagram?
Speaker 6 (46:31):
Jones House band, Jones House, Instagram dot com. Love that
perfect and then look out for Sadie in.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
What's her last?
Speaker 6 (46:45):
Nadi Stall Cup.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
Safdie Stall Cup. Okay, great, well, Heather, Thank you so
much for joining us today. It was a pleasure to
reconnect with you and to hear your experience. Thank you
for shining a light on some stuff we had otherwise forgotten.
And I still think it's so interesting now to know
that your audition sheet was war. I feel like now
we need to get to the bottom of that situation.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
So cool. Thank you for being here with us. It
was a pleasure to talk to you.
Speaker 6 (47:11):
Thank you guys so much. It's so good to see
all of you. You just everything, Thank.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
You, Thank you, hugs to everybody.
Speaker 3 (47:21):
Bye bye. So funny.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
I wonder, I mean, I really do think.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
My my thought that they originally maybe had her written
as a crazy woman.
Speaker 4 (47:32):
That's what I think that was the joke. And then right,
it just doesn't. It makes sean storyline kind of lame
if he's just like on a date with a lame
like a crazy girl him. You know, it has to
be that Sean isn't ready to move on with somebod
who is actually good for him.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Exactly, she wasn't.
Speaker 5 (47:51):
Does anybody remember she wasn't the quote unquote crazy girl
by table Read like they'd already switched it.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
You think I remember this table Read.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
Always singing I've got you babes.
Speaker 3 (48:02):
Yeah, and they've got so what you it's a week prep.
Speaker 5 (48:06):
Really, they're gonna they're gonna audition on a Tuesday Wednesday
for the following week's episode.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Yes, Usually usually they've cast by the day before at
the very least, So they're probably auditioning, Like while we're
rehearsing for our Thursday night tape night, they're rehearsing that Monday.
I mean, they're auditioning that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday for the
next one. Yeah, for the show that starts on Friday.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Makes sense, Yeah, I remember that I remember. It's funny.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
I don't even think about it anymore because I don't
not ISSI for anything, but the idea of like booking
a job and then you start tomorrow, yeah okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
I used to remember. I remember auditioning it and being like, oh, okay,
they need you on stage now. Yeah, there's that too,
for you're gonna go right over to your especially during
stay calm, because if you're a guest star, they just
be like, oh great, well yeah, since you just got
like come back at three o'clock and go to the
stage and start rehearsing, like oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
Okay, I guess I guess I'm starting now.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
I kind of always loved that though, because you have
to think about it and let you just do it,
you know.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
I just think about now how much my life needs
to be, like my calendar and my organization, like it's
all on such a regiment.
Speaker 3 (49:10):
The idea that.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
It would just be like oh, for now for the next.
Speaker 4 (49:13):
Of an actor is kind of crazy. Like you have
to be flexible because that it is, you know, you
have to just jump into something.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
And why the joke always exists that if you need
to book a job, just plan a vacation.
Speaker 6 (49:25):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
Because buy non refundable plane ticket somewhere you will.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
Get that job your book for sure, way it works.

Writer.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I did Magical rewind for Zombies too. Oh yes, it
was so much fun.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
That's great, It really was. It was great. Yeah, that's
it's such a good franchise. Is you do another one
right there?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Coming out July tenth?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yep? Is that what it is? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
June soth, No, July tenth, And I had said May
twenty third, and then I was like, well I wouldn't
get to it until July tenth.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Anyway. Also, did you guys see Wicked? No, the movie? Okay,
well it was so funny because indeed loved it and
he wanted me to watch it with him, and I
actually ended up only watching the first like half, but
I was like, wow, this it's it's good.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
But I was like, it's also the Descendants, like remember
It's like yes, like those Disney movies have actually become
like what Wicked is. Yeah, it was like the same thing.
I was like, it looks like a Disney movie or
like an old Disney TV. Wow, what's the word I'm
looking for? Disney Channel moviecom? Yeah? Yeah, I was like, wow,
the dcoms of like because when I don't know, I
(01:19):
feel like when we were.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And they were not also telling Danielle.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Zombies four had a budget of forty million dollars for
d com. I mean, it's crazy for a d coom
where that we were doing somewhere the budget was like
eight dollars and a half of back Eminem's go make
a movie.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, and the regular and the kids are so talented kids.
They're all like in their twenties now. But like that
first Zombies, I was blown away by their time.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
And none of them were Disney Channel stars.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
That's the other thing that was so different about this
franchise is none of them were like they're throwing in
all their stars.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
It was just yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I love it so much and I can't wait for
the fourth. I've got a my friend, Malika, who is
one of the kids I directed from Villains of Valley View.
He is in Zombies four, And when they made that
announcement that he was going to I.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Was like, Malachi, you're gonna be insolved.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Did Sabrina ever do one?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
She did?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, she did some Adventures in Babysitting.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Which was their hundredth dcome ever they did. She did
Adventures and babysits.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, Yeah, she did adventures and babysitting.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And you never want Danielle never did one.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
No, I mean I did the ABC. You know, I
did Summertime Switch, which was an ABC.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah right, right, yeah, And.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Then they offered me one the next year and I
turned it down and I never got an offer again anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Do you remember the one they offered you? I'm so curious.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
No, I have no idea. I just know that I
it was. It was partly material because I remember I
had not had a good time on Summertime Switch. I
was just like, I don't want to do this. It
was also just not wanting I wanted to have the
summer like I remember correctly. It was like I just
wanted to have some free time because we were we
knew we were coming back from both.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
They never asked me I, which doesn't make any doesn't
make any sense to me, doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm amazed that you are now not the go to
dcom mom.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I mean, why am I not?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I see, I think I'm perfect dcom dad age, and
so you and I as decom parents.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Listen, we may not be able to get Hallmark to
give us a movie, but maybe we could get Disney
to give.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Us a movie.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I think as long as we don't have to sing
or dances, gonna sings.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Probably don't listen with technology these days. I'm willing to
sing because they'll make me sound good.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Technology isn't going to do for my dancing. I can
tell you that true world. I'm daniel Fishel, I'm right
or Strong, and I'm Wilfordelle.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
If our listeners have taken anything away from season six
so far, it might be that some of us were
already what we've called out of body. Some scenes, you're
seeing Sean and Tabanga on screen, they're saying the lines,
but Writer and Danielle they're somewhere else completely, most likely
reading a book or talking to their crush on the phone,
(04:11):
or maybe even reading a book while talking to their
crush on the phone. Who knows, well, I do know
one thing. Some episodes, some scenes of Boy Meets World
are completely new to us. We have never seen them.
We weren't in them. We have no idea they exist.
Some have live bears, some don't. And this week we
(04:32):
are bringing on a guest star, someone who was there
for our recent laps. We stumbled upon she was great
in the season six episode Cutting the Cord, playing Sean's
new possible girlfriend stuck on a double date, while unfortunately
Angela was just too fresh on his mind. And yes,
we are going to learn more about the karaoke scene.
(04:53):
She began her career as a child prodigy, dancing at three,
playing the cello at seven, and performing in local plays
at the thirteen. Lucky for us, she would come to
Hollywood for acting, appearing on California Dreams, Step by Step,
Pacific Blue, and Zoe Duncan, Jack and Jane. She'd also
continue showing off her dance skills and some pretty massive
movies that we will talk to her about. But you
(05:14):
might know her from the Office, where she appeared in
one of my favorite episodes, Andy's play in their local
production of Sweeney Todd as Missus Lovett. Just the best,
So welcome to Pod meets World. Not only the best
singing voice in that Boy Meets World episode, but also
the best singing voice on this Pod Meets World episode.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's Heather Marie Marsden.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh my gosh, I can hear you.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Well, you know you gotta make an entrance.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I love it. Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
We just recently watched Cutting the Cord, the season six
episode that you guest starred on, and you were great.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
We have some questions because.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It appears as though Rider and I especially have blocked
out some things from this episode, like the episode, like I.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Remember, you literally didn't remember anything, Danielle, Yeah, I remember,
I remember working with Heather. I remember singing being nervous
like I did. Remember.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, you remembered some feelings of pressure and stress, and
so we're hoping Heather can enlighten us maybe by telling
us a little bit more about your experiences that week.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Is this too much pressure for me?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (06:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Okay, great?
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Oh my gosh, Rider, I feel so bad that this
was such a stressful thing for you, And I wanted
to say that you guys were kind enough to send
a link. Yeah, but I didn't need that because.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I have as Yes, what did they charge you for?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
How much did they charge you exactly?
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Let's see, Well, it's a company that I'm sure probably
doesn't exist anymore in the valley, but they probably charged
what twenty five dollars? Do you think for taping the air?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Do you still have a VCR to be able to
watch that?
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Good.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Good for you.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I'm in the of transferring all my VHS tapes to
digital and it's mortifying.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah yeah, but this wasn't good. So you writer, when
was the last time you had seen the episode?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Yesterday?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Well before that, before we asked you to watch it,
when the last time you.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Had seen it? Watch it every day?
Speaker 6 (07:47):
I watch it every day. I can play all the roles.
I will say that episode I learned, you know, I'm
a mom now, and I learned more about giving birth
from Will's storyline, Oh you're welcome.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I was like, oh yeah, and I used to hearing that.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, hears that all the time. He's very, very skilled
with the child labor.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I am.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I'm a lamas DA coach, so very skilled.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
So funny. First of all, I don't know if you know,
and I don't know what order of scripts you guys got,
but when I auditioned for the role, the role is
actually very different. She was a very quiet, subdued girl
who's sag war the song that you say oh in
like crazy voices. Oh.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
So the joke was like Sean's dating a crazy yeah,
crazy girl. Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
I remember something about they said, you know, be like
you're you like to go to church, and you're very
demure and everything, and I just and then you know
what you know? And they did all these like they
wanted to have crazy voices for the song, which I
wonder why.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Changing Maybe though the note was, can we not have
it be that the girl he's on the date with
is crazy or seems weird, that she's actually lovely and
he just can't get over you know what I mean? Like,
I can see that being an important note that we
shouldn't put him on a date with someone who people
are like, well, why would he like this girl when
he's when he clearly could be with Angela?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So I can I can.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
See how they wanted to see your chops in the
room and to know whether or not you could play comedy,
but ultimately they wanted you to be a more believable,
truly datable partner for Sean right.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Well, you know, funny thing at that time, I was
brought in so many I played so many girls who
got dumped on TV. I thought if I sat and counted,
I just might be sad. But I was brought in
so many times to be the new girl, or the
new date, or the one to make the other one
jealous and et cetera, et cetera. And then I've been
(10:03):
dumped on TV a lot.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Who's the most famous, not person, but TV character that
you've ever been dumped by?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Well, I was just thinking about the fact that this
is so ridiculous. I do you guys remember suddenly Susan
of course Shields?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yes, so lovely.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
By the way, So, so she was dating, Uh the
actor was rob Estie's right, Their characters were dating. So
they broke up and then I was the new girlfriend.
That was like, wow, uh that's Brooke Shields. Yeah, uh okay,
but then he dumped me too.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Okay, So rob Esti's most famous character is the most
famous dumper, so dumper.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah, so so that one.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
For So you sang War for your audition?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Correct? And what is it good for getting a job
on Boy Meets World?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah? Absolutely everything? Say yeah, so you got the job
based on that performance.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
They didn't bring you back into singing something else?
Speaker 6 (11:05):
No, wow, I know, so that was so different but
so different.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
But did they know you were a singer? Did they
know you could really sing other than the War example?
Did they know you had an incredible voice?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Oh, you're so sweet? Danielle, Can I just put you
right here. That's a really sweet thing to say. It's around.
It's so true, Thank you. I don't know. I mean,
at that time, I was I was recording all the time,
and I was performing all the time as a singer.
So I'm sure on my resume and I'm saying on
TV and film a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Okay, so I'm.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
In the room it came up. But I just remember
that and then getting the script and going, oh my gosh,
I'm a totally different girl.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, geez, that's great.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
So you had already made a brief stop on TGIF
in Step by Step.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
But were you when you got the audition for Boy
Me World? Were you aware of what Boy Meets World was?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
I remember you guys were everywhere at the time.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Okay, okay, but.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
You weren't from You didn't watch the show yourself, but
you were aware of Like, okay, I know that show exists.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I've seen these faces. Yes, okay, oh for sure.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Who dumped you on Step by Step?
Speaker 6 (12:18):
You know now that you're bringing it up. I hope
I wasn't dumped on Step by Step. I don't I
don't think I was dumped.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Up Okay, okay, you got to do something totally awesome.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
I got to do I got to stretch.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh great, nice.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Well, as we mentioned, your history with music is pretty
mind blowing.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You grew up in Detroit, You.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Began dancing at three, playing the cello at seven, and
you played in the Detroit Civic Symphony Orchestra.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Were your parents musical? How did you How were you
just so musical at such a young age.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Well, first of all, the Civic is like a feeder orchestra, Okay,
like a training orchestra, so you know, you do. I
did have to do those blind auditions. I don't know
if you've ever seen them in a movie, but you
you play your instrument behind a wall and so they're
(13:14):
just listening, they can't see, are.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Trying to diminish the orchestra? You were part of no orchestra,
But I just I want to be clear.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
I was not part of the professional Detroit Symphony orchestra.
The Civic was like the Detroit Civic, So I just
I just want to I never got that good, but
I did have the blind audition experience, which is absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And so what happened with that? You get up there?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
I got into the civic. So I played in that
for a couple of years and and then you know, do.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
You remember the piece? Do you remember what piece you were?
You were your audition piece was with the cello.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
I'm curious, No, fair enough, you know, actually had war
now it was, but then they changed it when I
got there.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Actually I still do play live. It's fun. I play
in a band and I pull it out every once
in a while, but I play with people. I sing
with people who are much better cellis than me. So
you know, you let people do what.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
They do, right, Yeah? Yeah, but how does a seven
year old pick up the cello? Like, both literally and figuratively,
it seems rather heavy. But also, how were your parents'
musical How did that come to you?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah? So both of my parents were public school teachers,
and they were art teachers. So my mom was yay
public art school teachers. Yeah, we need you, we love you.
So my mom was taught band and orchestra and choir,
and then my dad was a theater teacher, and they
had art and drafting, photography. That goes back, but so
(14:59):
I grew up in that environment. But it was definitely
my mom had me and my sister both pick an
instrument at that age. So I picked cello. I just
like the sound of it.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, and I still do.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, Yeah, me too.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Do you do you play?
Speaker 8 (15:16):
Will?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I have no musical talent whatsoever, but I'm I've always
been drawn to the cello. And I think the first
time I heard yo yo ma do box prelude, I would,
That's where I was like, just it sucked in.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
So yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
It is.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It's an absolutely gorgeous instrument. It speaks to me.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I don't know why it sounds so crazy, but it
always has. It absolutely speaks to me.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
The cello.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
It's beautiful. Well, it's it's very similar to the human voice,
so I think we kind of absorb interesting, yeah, or
we relate to it or something.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So how do you transition then from cello to TV?
What's the what's the transition? When do you become an actor?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
My gosh?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
So when well, really, in high school, you know, musicals
were my thing, and I was better at that than
my cello. There were many people much better than me
at that, so I started I started getting into acting
in high school. But my first professional job was a
(16:21):
was Sweet charity tour, which is a musical. Probably nobody
even now is anymore. It's an old Fosse show. But
that was my first, my first professional job, if you
don't count me thinking that I was a professional, like
in preschool standing in the aisle at kmart singing white people.
In my brain, I thought, I am supposed to be here.
(16:43):
I'm going to do a show for you know, you'll
get the blue Light special. I will sing a song
from Annie.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
So how old were you then when you did the musical?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Oh my gosh, okay, so times were different. I was seventeen.
I graduated a year early from school from from school,
so anyway, so I was seventeen. I was, and I
we didn't.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Have like.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Those permits and stuff that kid that child, you know
actors have now and stuff. So I auditioned. I got
the job. My mom said go ahead, and I kid
you not. I carried around a permission slip case I
got injured, because you can't treat a minor at the hospital,
you know, so I had. This was before cell phones,
(17:32):
So yeah, I had a permission slip and a fake ID.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Oh my gosh, so that you could get treated in case, just.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
In case, yeah, in case you needed a hospital once
to drink. It was in case you needed to like
set a forearm or something. You have a fake ID.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
God, that's so funny.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Isn't that funny? And I think about it now, I
think that is so ridiculous. That wouldn't even that. What
would that fly? I don't even know, but.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
It was back then it would have.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I mean, we talk about some stories here of things
we did or of getting injured on the set or
stuff like that, where it's kind of it's just a
whole different ballgame nowadays than when it was.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Back in the day.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
It was kind of being like will will You were
never carted for cigarettes at yet, which is twelve, Yeah,
and then a Boy Meets World said maybe you shouldn't
be smoking kid. Now, I guess they did say it sometimes, right,
some people said it, but.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Maybe in a judgmental way.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Not so.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
The only person, the only person who would do it
all the time was Bill. And it was always just
because I kept him in my breast pocket. He would always,
I've told the story, he would just tap them and go,
ah nice, keep them right near your heart. And he
would do that every single so whenever that's just tap
it right next to your heart, that's all he would do.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Uh so, yeah, but no one. I don't recall anybody ever.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Saying you should hey at sixteen, you shouldn't be smoking
the set of Boymen like that.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Never happened, Never happened. Yeah, different times, different times.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So at seventeen, when did the musical Sweet Charity?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, okay?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And then and you're living in Detroit, do you when
do you make the trek to Hollywood?
Speaker 6 (19:04):
So somewhere in there, somewhere in there. I moved to
New York first, and then and because I wanted to
be on Broadway, and then I ended up making my
way to Los Angeles. And you know, at that time,
(19:25):
you they didn't like it if you had theater, especially
musical theater on your resume.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
So I remember my first manager, she took them, She
took all that stuff off, and so that I could
start getting into film and TV, which I was totally
interested in. And that's and that's how it happened. But
the first job I did in LA was a chorus line, so,
you know, and I didn't have a car, and I
had a ten speed bike and I would ride my
(19:53):
bike to the theater and then stand on the line
in chorus line, they call it the line and you
and there's no intermission, so you're standing on the line
for two hours, and you know, my quads were like
huge from dancing and then riding my bike back to
the housing that they gave us for the theater.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Did you then, when you get the audition for Boy
Meets World and you book the job and you now
are working in Hollywood, did anyone ever mention to you
whether or not you were related to Jason Marsden.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Oh, my gosh, okay, so uh Jason and I. So
Jason was on Step by Step yes, and.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
On Boy Meets World.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Oh that's right, he did a bunch of episodes.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Okay, So he and I did have a conversation one time,
and we think that we are related a couple generations back. Okay,
So that's.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But you know, do we know?
Speaker 6 (20:53):
I mean, well twenty three he has not shown up
on my twenty three and me, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Hope you've deleted that by now.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I was gonna say, yeah, the government will I know?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Right? Oh, I just got all my data.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Okay, good, I just got all my data.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I haven't gone and deleted it. That's a lot of
data to be sent.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I know it was.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Okay, so you're in LA and one of your first
gigs was a three story arc on California Dreams. A
perfect mixture for your past and music and now your
journey in acting was jumping on a TV set?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Intimidating for you at all?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
No, I loved it so much. And you know I
love sitcoms. I love sitcoms, and the the pacing of
a sitcom is so similar to musical anyways, right.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
With Yeah, there's a rhythm.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Yeah, but California Dreams. Yeah, two lot of those three episodes,
I got dumped. I was a prom date.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Wait, how'd you get jumped?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Were you playing the same character that gets dumped twice?
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Moving me around?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I think they dumped by different people.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
You just keep getting dumped by that.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
I was, wow, that's impressive to be dumped on multiple
episodes of the episode.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
I think, when I haven't seen that thing in a
long time. But but I didn't play any instruments or anything.
I didn't sing on that.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Wait, you went on singing sitcom and you didn't sing
on the singing?
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Yeah, you know, it's a really weird experience. Here's a
weird experience. So through the years, I've written a lot
of music that and songs that have been licensed by
film and TV. And there was an episode of Lawn
and Order see I and I had written the song
and it was my vocal on it, and it was
a story line where the pop star was the murderer
(23:03):
and they used my song to be her hit song
and my voice was coming out of her body in
the episode, which is so and she looked like me.
So that was so weird.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Did they give you at least the opportunity to audition
for the role of the possible killer on CI?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
I mean is that?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
That was New York. I think they did that.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yeah, they do. They do the stuff there. Yeah, okay, yeah, wow.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
So life is funny, you know. I was thinking, this industry,
you start one way and you think you're going to
do something, and then these odd things come your way
and they're so cool, like some of the just some
of the I just feel like we're so lucky to
be able to be creative and meet all these different
(23:50):
people and have all these different experiences around the world. Arts.
It's just the best.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well, especially for people like you who are good at
all of it. You're a good actor, You're a good singer,
You're a good dancer.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I mean, at this point now you're still dancing.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
You got gigs in two classic movies, Austin Powers and
That Thing You Do?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Did you I watched that thing you do last night?
Did you really? I literally watched that thing you do
last night? That's so funny, you guys.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Okay, I have two stories for you if you want, yes, please,
So one, do you know that Tony Basil choreographed both
of those Well, she was the original choreographer for Austin Powers,
but she choreographed that Thing You Do. Do you know
who Tony is?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I know the name name?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yes, yes, hey Nicky? Right, hey Niki?
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Yes, yeah, So she choreographed both of those films, and
she was Bet Midler's choreographer for all those years.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Oh my gosh, where were you in that Thing You Do?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Were you one of the go Go dancers on the
stage when they were playing Now we were in.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
The b and us.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
In the there was a bunch of places.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
You were Captain Geech in the Shrimp Shack Shooters, gotcha,
my gosh.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yeah, that was Union where they made dancers.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Union.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
That was the first one. I remember on the beach.
It was winter and it was cold, bathing suits and
dancing in the sand. You know. Tom Hanks at the
end of the day applauded everybody because he directed yes,
and I was so blown away.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Wow that Wow.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
I worked with Colin to his son on a movie
in Iowa in the winter, So maybe I can only
work with the Hanks in the.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Winter under cold circumstances.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Everybody knows that, do you do you have one discipline
that you prefer? I mean, do you prefer dancing to singing?
You prefer acting to dancing and singing?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Is that if you had to focus on one, you're
only allowed to pick one? Which one would you do?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Well? I don't dance anymore and I have a very
long time, so that's easy that one out. So but
it's not like I'm out there, you know, hitting the boards.
No acting and singing. I can't ever pick. And that's
been that way for very, very very long time. I'm
I'm I'm fortunate enough that dance got me was a
(26:27):
point because you had access to that in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, okay, I want to get into Boy Meets World. Yes,
you're playing Kelly the somewhat hesitant love interest of Sean
just post his breakup. Do you remember the first time
you met Writer and what working with him was like
that week?
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Oh my god, I loved Writer. I still do. Hey, Writer,
I want your sour dough starter.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
You'll be my hook.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
I loved working with Writer. And can you say the
the Kelly my Date monologue? The Kelly my Date was brilliant.
Ye oh my god, I loved it.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
It was so good, so cute.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
You guys were also, you know, being when you come
on for one episode, you're a guest in somebody's house
and it is really nice and and you know the
series regular casts that have been you guys are a
machine and you've got it all down and you're a family.
And it was really nice coming onto this set. Everybody
(27:36):
was so warm and kind and it made it easy
because it's always like the first day of school. Yeah, yeah,
when you go onto a new.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Set, totally, there's so much to take in, all the
new people, the politics of it all, taking the relationships,
figuring out how to work with the director and the
producers and every out right.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
But you guys are amazing.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
I remember I remember the vocal coach on he goes uh,
he said something like sing average.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Oh, he didn't want you to be too good?
Speaker 6 (28:17):
What does sing average mean? How do I interpret that note?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Did you not sound so good?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Writer, you sounded great.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
You did sound I think it was digitally altered.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
But there is a great moment where writer slash Sean
grabs your chair and swings you around the table. Do
you remember rehearsing that, working on it, finding that in rehearsal?
Do you remember any of the non singing rehearsal moments.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
No, I'm glad.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
It's not just what I remember that moment either. It's
a big move, like it makes sense that you're a
dancer like that that could you helped make.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Out her balance exactly?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Yeah, It's pretty remarkable how quick like and easy it worked,
like I was.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Like this also, I mean it was also violent enough
to where you could have thrown somebody off that chair.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
No, and she was able to stay on it.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
And like writer said, I'm sure she was helping substantially
make that move happen.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
So anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Can't believe neither of you or none of us remember it,
because it's it's really well done.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Yeah, oh, well that's all righter.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Then no, no, okay, So you are a part of
a pretty infamous scene for Boy Meets World, and this
is where we realized we may have been forgetting a lot.
But the karaoke scene, we have Trina and her date
or Angela and her date, myself and Corey are performing War,
which we now know you auditioned with, and then you
(29:53):
and Sean singing I Got you, babe. What do you
remember about the song the rehearsing of it. We remember
it feeling pretty like there was like it was high stakes,
but that also may have just been because for for
those of us who are not singers, it is super
high up on our anxiety list to feel then uncomfortable
(30:16):
singing in front of people. So maybe it was just
us and maybe you don't remember it feeling high stress.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
What was it for you?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Wow? I love this conversation. It's so fascinating. Yeah, I know.
I just remember having a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Okay, good god, Yeah, fun is good.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Yeah, Writer was not was not having fun for writer.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
But I remember you were so helpful for me. I
don't know if you remember, but you changed the key
of our song, you like we did the table read
and then the first day of rehearsal, and you were
so confident and you obviously you just had the musical background,
and I remember you were like, we should, we should
have a meeting with the Ray Colecord, the music supervisor,
(31:03):
And so we got we had a phone call with him.
We went over to the where the phone, the stage
phone was. There was always a desk on the stage
phone and called him on speaker and he had like
his keyboard on the other and and you guys figured
out the key that was best for you and me,
and you're like, no, no, writer, you should sing higher,
(31:23):
and you like had him change the key right there,
and then he was like and you I was like, oh,
thank god, somebody knows what they're doing. And you like yeah.
And then the rest of the week was just me
trying to harmonize and I couldn't do it because I
would just always match your pitch. I was supposed to
be harmonizing with you, and I couldn't. I just couldn't.
And the and then that singing coach was there. He
wasn't there the first day, but then he came the
(31:45):
next week, and I remember him just being like he
was super supportive. But he was like, writer, you're a
e lead singer because lead singers can never harmonize. It's great,
sound great, I don't worry about it. That was his advice.
He's like, a real lead singer never can harmonize. Well,
so you're that just means you're elite singer.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
It's cool, dude, Okay, it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Another question for you that maybe you remember, because I
did not, the take of Ben and I singing war
that ends up being the tag of the episode where
we're laughing and we're breaking and we're clearly just having fun.
Was that one of the takes that we did in
the regular scene that just went off the rails and
(32:37):
they ended up using it as a tag.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Do you remember us? Do you remember watching.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Us do that and and and it being was it planned?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Was it off the cuff?
Speaker 6 (32:49):
I think I think it was from you guys performing
and they had it. You guys were hilarious, We were
having a Larry.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I said, it looks like we were having a lot
of fun.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
Oh my gosh, you were so funny in that thing.
That was brilliant. How many gold I remember thinking, don't
laugh because you know so that's why I think it
was part of the scene. Yeah, because if it wasn't
part of the scene, then I would have relaxed and.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Been like, exactly, I'm just gonna go are there they're laughing,
I'm just gonna laugh.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
But Kelly would not, you know. So, so that's why
I think it.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Was part of the It was it was planned that way.
We were supposed to do that. Okay, good, that's cute,
that's fun.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
It is, it's an awesome button.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Was that the first time you had ever performed in
front of a live studio audience on a sitcom? Or
was Step by Step also in front of a live
studio audience?
Speaker 6 (33:51):
Actually, all the sitcoms up until up till then, well
at that time, all of them were live, all of them. Okay,
I loved I think I only did one that was
not live.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Okay, Baby Box it was.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
There was no audience when I worked on that show,
but it was all live.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
But everything else and did you love it?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Do we talk about those live studio audience nights as
just being magical?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
It is magical, Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
That's what I miss more than anything else, I think,
other than working with the cast like just the kind
of company.
Speaker 8 (34:29):
Just show night.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
I mean, how do you It didn't even matter what
the episode was, just that night is so oh god,
it's absolutely it is.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
It's magical. It's the only word to use.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
And another thing I love. I know a lot of
actors hate this, but I love it is when during
show night when you'll get a new line, you know,
you'll rewrite something or try something out. I think that's
so fun and exciting. Well, because you.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Don't know what to expect from the audience as a
whole new energy, you get another jolt because it's like, ooh,
I gotta I hope I hit new line that I
just a new beat that I just have. Yeah, it really,
it's great.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
And now there were times on our show when it
would be a whole two pages that new scenes or
like yeah, I remember like sitting there and rewriting and
you say this and that, you know, and like literally Kathy,
our script supervisor, just writing out by hand on pencil
and then being like, oh so that would get a
little stressful, but I agree it was usually a positive thing.
It was usually like a high wire act that kind
(35:23):
of was exciting.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah, you get that adrenaline rush it's cool.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
You mentioned that you are a mom. You have a daughter?
Speaker 6 (35:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Has she ever seen your episode of Boy Meets World?
Speaker 6 (35:36):
No? I think she. She just asked me about it, okay,
and she's asked me about a couple of things that
you know, other kids have seen. But no, she hasn't
seen it yet.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Does it do whenever somebody finds out you were on
Boy Meets World? Does anyone ever care? Is it ever
something that comes up in your life?
Speaker 6 (35:57):
It makes me feel old.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I love that show, my mom, I love that show.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Kids love that show.

sent me a text with a screenshot and went, Auntie,

And does your daughter show any musical inclination or acting
inclination or.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
You guys, she is so musical, she's got She did
a role with a very famous movie star and I'm
not sure if I can say quite yet, but in
a movie directed by Noah, bound Back that's coming out
this fall, amazing. I was on set watching her work
(36:57):
with this man and went, wow, wait till I tell
her who the person is.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
She has no clue now, so we didn't know. She
didn't know Hugh Jackman very close. Okay, just throw him out.
See what happened.

a studio mom, now you know. I I sit there
and have her do it again.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
No, yeah, giving notes.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
It's it's really it's it's really fun and exciting and
feels very full circle.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Together.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Well, I was gonna say, my goal is that we
do something together.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Ye right, of course, yeah, Oh that'd be so great.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
I mean, you make the joke about giving her notes,
but you did teach her how to play music at first,
right when she was younger.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Oh you do you remember? Yeah, she's she's excellent little pianist,
right right.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
And I remember because I remember asking you. I was
like how can I get my son to play? You're like,
you just got it. Is it the Suzuki method or whatever?
You like, you just got to do it. Yeah, you
just got to make them do it. At like three,
you were already like nope, you just got to sit
down and play. Yeah, you were like hardcore about it.
I loved it. It was awesome.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
But it worked.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
I mean yeah, no, totally. That was the thing. Your
whole point was like, they have to just always have
the instruments around, and you just do it, like every day,
like just get down or you know, at least once
a week or whatever, do it. And you were like yeah,
and it worked obviously.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Yeah, she's doing really well. We we do have a
lot of instruments around the house and I just lay
them out. I mean she's older now, but as a kid,
you know, you just lay them out and they just
twot on something or play on something.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah, and you.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Know, Ada has really we have two friends that have
drum kits at their house, and Adler has really gravitated
to the drums. He wants to sit there and and
figure it out. And I'm like, I don't like noise.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
He was drummer of the first band I was ever in. Yeah,
he played when we were all together.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Making our band.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
So yeah, he's the first drummer. Definitely.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
I forgot Uncle Will came over and Keating and Adler
and Will had a little band.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
It was so cute.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Absolutely, yeah, that's my first drummer and I think my
first guitarist.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
So we haven't we split up. I mean there's some
internal stuff, but mostly.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
The fact that they were four time.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
There might be it was mostly about nap time. And
honestly it was my nap time that was in the
way of.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Everything, exactly, kept getting in the way crazy. So I
cannot let you go before I talked to you about
the office where you got to be very meta and
you played an actress playing Miss love It in Sweeney
Todd in the episode Andy's play. This must have been
so much fun.
Speaker 6 (40:07):
Oh my gosh, you guys, it was a great So
there's an another added thing.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Okay, so okay, so yes, so.
Speaker 6 (40:14):
Uh we did we were we were a local theater company,
community theater. Yes, swing Sweeney Todd and Ed Helms's character
Andy was in the in the play. So we did
that play and originally they do you remember do you
know the character Kevin. Yeah, of course, okay, yeah, So
(40:37):
originally my character was Kevin's new girlfriend. Oh yeah, so
who was playing missus Lovett in the community theater production.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Okay, so we.
Speaker 6 (40:51):
Started that and we shot that, and then the next
day I went and got new script saying you are
no longer his girlfriend, you're his sister her, and so
then we filmed some scenes of us doing sibling things
on top of filming.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
I hate to point this out, but it's almost as
if you were dumped in that episode off camera against
I don't want to mention it, but it's kind of like, yike,
the actor. The writers were like, not the girlfriend someone,
you're now the sister.
Speaker 6 (41:37):
That's hilarious. Oh my gosh, it's true.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Took They took you full and of cleaves.
Speaker 5 (41:43):
Very interesting how they decided to do that from wife
to sister.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Now.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
Is this one of the things where, because I know
I'm a big Office fan and Daniel's a big Office
fan too, when you get the DVDs a lot of
times there's all the bonus footage that they have.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Is this something where we can actually see the stuff
that they shot.
Speaker 6 (42:00):
Yeah, one of the scenes, uh, one of our sibling
scenes is on the bonus cool but I I you know,
I got to wear these crazy wigs as missus love
it fun and oh my gosh, that were so cool.
And of course I got to sing in a local
community the my my version of a community theater Cockney accent.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
You know, I got to see this. I've never seen
this episode.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Oh it's a great episode.
Speaker 5 (42:29):
It is so funny how badly the play starts to
go in the middle, like it's doing really well, that
it starts to go really terribly.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
And then Andy just starts ad libbing on stage. It
is really funny.
Speaker 6 (42:40):
Yeah, I was gonna say, you know what, I've got
a prop over. I have a prop knife around here somewhere.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Yes, please, I'll get them knife.
Speaker 6 (42:48):
I have all sorts of goodies around here. But that
was a blast, so cool, a blast.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
So since season one of us doing this podcast, we
have been talking about wanting to build a time machine,
and we there are many things we want to build
a time machine for. We want to go back, we
want to appreciate the show more. We want to appreciate
lots of things more. If you could go back in
time to see young Heather, Marie Marston on the set
(43:16):
of Boy Meets World and you could talk to yourself,
what would you say.
Speaker 6 (43:22):
Wow, that's intense, Danielle.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Sorry, sorry, that's what we do here. We'd like to Wow.
Speaker 6 (43:29):
What would I say? Oh, my gosh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (43:35):
This is gonna sound so but I one thing I
did learn young was to definitely appreciate things as I went,
and so I I do. I just remember having maybe
I would have maybe I would have not been I
wouldn't say that I was shy, but maybe I would
(43:57):
have talk to you guys more in a you know, yeah,
maybe like that. That just sounded like we didn't talk that,
which is not accurate.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
No, but you were probably, like you said, when you
come on, when you're a guest star and you come
on to a show, your natural tendency is to just
sit back and watch.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
And yeah, try to blend in. And I like that.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
I like the idea of saying, you're there, you got
here here for a reason, join in, talk more, participate more,
act like you belong because you do.
Speaker 6 (44:35):
Yeah. Yeah, but I just remember that was one of
the sets that was so fun and so nice. So
there's not a lot.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I'm glad to hear that. That's good.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah, makes us.
Speaker 6 (44:49):
Happy, you know, because you know it's not always like that.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Yeah, exactly, it's not.
Speaker 6 (44:57):
Right, So there's not so it's it's all good.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
You mentioned that you are now a stage mom for
your daughter, who's working and successful in her own right.
What else are you working on now? Where can people
find you? Where can people see you? What are you doing?
What do you want people to know?
Speaker 6 (45:16):
Well, I'm still out there because I'm a Chiteau for life. Yeah,
a lifer. You're born that way, right. Sometimes you wish
you could just take it off. And the only time
that I ever wished there was one one moment that
I the only time in my life I ever thought
I don't have to be an actor anymore. And it
(45:37):
was a fleeting thought, was after I had my daughter,
and I thought, looking at this baby, I was just like, Wow,
I don't have to be anybody else. I don't have
to step into any other world. I can just be here.
But anyway I'm around. And also I fell into a
(45:57):
band with some amazing musicians. Do you guys you know
Game of Thrones? Right, of course we've heard of it. Okay,
So the cell is for that is my bandmate. We
play yeah, it's he plays electric cello, he plugs it
in so cello and guitar and drums and myself and
we play a lot of music festivals and wineries. We
(46:20):
played wineries. Now that's so cool, Jones House and we
release singles on you know the streamers.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
And do you have a website or in instagram?
Speaker 6 (46:31):
Jones House band, Jones House, Instagram dot com. Love that
perfect and then look out for Sadie in.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
What's her last?
Speaker 6 (46:45):
Nadi Stall Cup.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
Safdie Stall Cup. Okay, great, well, Heather, Thank you so
much for joining us today. It was a pleasure to
reconnect with you and to hear your experience. Thank you
for shining a light on some stuff we had otherwise forgotten.
And I still think it's so interesting now to know
that your audition sheet was war. I feel like now
we need to get to the bottom of that situation.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
So cool. Thank you for being here with us. It
was a pleasure to talk to you.
Speaker 6 (47:11):
Thank you guys so much. It's so good to see
all of you. You just everything, Thank.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
You, Thank you, hugs to everybody.
Speaker 3 (47:21):
Bye bye. So funny.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
I wonder, I mean, I really do think.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
My my thought that they originally maybe had her written
as a crazy woman.
Speaker 4 (47:32):
That's what I think that was the joke. And then right,
it just doesn't. It makes sean storyline kind of lame
if he's just like on a date with a lame
like a crazy girl him. You know, it has to
be that Sean isn't ready to move on with somebod
who is actually good for him.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Exactly, she wasn't.
Speaker 5 (47:51):
Does anybody remember she wasn't the quote unquote crazy girl
by table Read like they'd already switched it.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
You think I remember this table Read.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
Always singing I've got you babes.
Speaker 3 (48:02):
Yeah, and they've got so what you it's a week prep.
Speaker 5 (48:06):
Really, they're gonna they're gonna audition on a Tuesday Wednesday
for the following week's episode.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Yes, Usually usually they've cast by the day before at
the very least, So they're probably auditioning, Like while we're
rehearsing for our Thursday night tape night, they're rehearsing that Monday.
I mean, they're auditioning that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday for the
next one. Yeah, for the show that starts on Friday.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Makes sense, Yeah, I remember that I remember. It's funny.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
I don't even think about it anymore because I don't
not ISSI for anything, but the idea of like booking
a job and then you start tomorrow, yeah okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
I used to remember. I remember auditioning it and being like, oh, okay,
they need you on stage now. Yeah, there's that too,
for you're gonna go right over to your especially during
stay calm, because if you're a guest star, they just
be like, oh great, well yeah, since you just got
like come back at three o'clock and go to the
stage and start rehearsing, like oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
Okay, I guess I guess I'm starting now.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
I kind of always loved that though, because you have
to think about it and let you just do it,
you know.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
I just think about now how much my life needs
to be, like my calendar and my organization, like it's
all on such a regiment.
Speaker 3 (49:10):
The idea that.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
It would just be like oh, for now for the next.
Speaker 4 (49:13):
Of an actor is kind of crazy. Like you have
to be flexible because that it is, you know, you
have to just jump into something.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
And why the joke always exists that if you need
to book a job, just plan a vacation.
Speaker 6 (49:25):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
Because buy non refundable plane ticket somewhere you will.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
Get that job your book for sure, way it works.
