[TRANSCRIPT]

JK: Well, it’s time for tonight’s guest and he was thrown off of a movie by Sally Kirkland, and edited out of the movie LEGALLY BLONDE. Put your finger on the applause button for Scott. How you doin’ Scott?

SR: Pretty Good, how you doin’ man?

JK: Is that from the French Stewart Collection?

SR: Yes it is actually,… he designed it.

JK: So where are you from?

SR: I’m from Kansas City.

JK: Now you, I understand, you first came to Los Angeles after being discovered, basically from a picture.

SR: Well, kind of.

JK: Where was the picture?

SR: The picture was in an actor’s networking book that is distributed out to producers. and actually this particular director didn’t want the book, but they sent it to him anyway, so he obviously looked through, he called me, and that’s how I got the gig.

JK: Well that’s great, you’re a good looking guy, so-

Jason: Grrrrrr

JK: Jason, you ever been cast from a picture? What’s that face for?

Jason: I’ve had my picture cast out. I don’t know, just like the devil, picture be gone!

JK: So after you had this break, you had kind of like a bad experience, what was that?

SR: Well basically, I was attached to the project . I went out and interviewed with him. I was attached to the project for a year. I basically got kicked off, I went through this big you know-

JK: Why do you think you got kicked off?

SR: Well there was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes.

JK: Did you not get along with Sally Kirkland

SR: No

Jason: Do you suck?

SR: It could be that. It could be that!

Jason: Or maybe you didn’t suck enough

JK: Jason you’re going nuts. What the?

Jason: I’m out of my mind.

JK: Afterward then, then came Legally Blonde - you were cut out of Legally Blonde, was that because of your acting or just because of a political thing or what?

SR: I was in all the trailers, all the theatrical trailers. I was there, but I got cut out of the end product.

JK: What’s your general feeling about Hollywood now? Considering your experiences.

SR: I don’t have any bad feelings about Hollywood. Actually the guy, Firecracker, that production we were talking about before, he’s from Kansas, he makes all his movies in Kansas. So I’ve never been treated like that in Hollywood, like I was on that project with Sally Kirkland. So - but yeah, I still feel great about it.

JK: Good, good. You gotta stick it out, keep doing your thing.

SR: I’m a persistent guy

JK: You seem very laid back

SR: I am.

JK: It’s interesting how actors have this kind of way about them. Where it’s basically, I want things to come to me or what ever, and I know that you had mentioned to me that the idea that you are always on and you just feel like in the audition situation that you have to act a certain way.

SR: You do.

JK: And what is that?

SR: Well, I mean, it’s very complicated because some casting directors know what they want, but very few actually do, so you feel like you have to be on when you go in the room and present yourself either as the character or-

JK: Isn’t that necessary, why would that be a problem for you, just to be on and to be excited about the acting. What is it that bothers you? And can you please be on now, by the way

SR: Well I’m trying, I’m tryin’!

Jason: Where’s the switch.

SR: I don’t know, I’m still working on that.

JK: So what is the problem with that, as an actor, wouldn’t you want to just go into and audition and just kick ass-

SR: Definitely

JK: So how do you distinguish that from being on. On, in some way do you see that as being fake?

SR: No, but there’s inspiration involved, and if you don’t have the inspiration, or even if you do have the inspiration and you realize that there’s an expectation, there’s just a big variable of realism that goes on in a certain part of Hollywood, and there’ a big, lot of fakeness of well, and you kind of have to figure out which part of that works for you. For me I’m a very real person, I like to be real, I don’t like to like present myself in a way that’s not me, but I realize they have a lot of expectations.

Jason: About what they want to see.

JK: Speaking about realness and fakeness, is that a real gold chain around your neck?

SR: No it’s actually-

JK: I’m just kidding

SR: It used to be, it used to be! No it’s silver.

JK: I’m going to be completely real, this Hollywood stuff is so fake, take a look at this fake Cartier.

Jason: No that’s a real Cartier, don’t let him fool you.

JK: So what to you want to do - what’s next for you now that you’ve had all these bad experiences? Are you ready to go in there and take something new.

SR: Oh yeah

JK: What would you like to do ideally

SR: Ideally, well I’ve actually got a script that I wrote that I’m planning on attaching myself to.

JK: I’m a big fan of that, creating your own projects.

SR: That ‘s great

JK: Oh yeah It really

Scott: You are?

JK: That’s why I’m here, are you kidding?

SR: I would have never guessed that. I’ve got a supporting role in a film called Twist of Fate starring James Cromwell.

JK: Now that was a movie with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John back in the mid eighties did you know that?

SR: Oh yeah, well it’s a working title.

JK: I was going to say, I know you’re not going - I know that’s not being remade…

Jason: That’s a classic

JK: Let’s do Perfect Two right afterwards…So Twist of Fate is next, and that’s basically it. Do you go to clubs?

SR: Oh a little bit

JK: That’s a great shirt.

SR: It’s a great party shirt people love to come up an feel it you know and touch it-

JK: Well there’s Jason right there-

SR: We’ll start the party right here-

JK: Your like the fifth monkey in a way, you have a kind of a look like that.

SR: We’ll I’ll take that as a complement.

Jason: There’s a party in your shirt and everyone’s invited.

JK: That’s right

JK: Thanks for coming on the show. Any other comments, it seems like it went really quickly but your’e terrific, you’re a fun guy, and I wish you the best of luck. I’m sorry about all the bad things that have happened to you in Hollywood. If you bumped into Sall0y Kirkland what would basically be your response?

Jason: Uh oh

SR: I don’t really have any bad feelings about it because, we only talked on the phone for like two minutes one time so I’ve never even met her.

JK: Really, did you make her cum?

SR: She doesn’t know-

Jason: What

JK: I’m sorry, I was going back with Jason-

Jason: 976-SUCK

JK: Sally, right…

SR: She was talking the whole time, so I don’t think so. She really likes to talk.

JK: Okay, alright I wonder what it was, I can’t imagine, why you’d be thrown off.

SR: Someone gets an idea in their head, and it flies around Hollywood. These people have never net me, they couldn’t find him another actor who could fill the role. No one could come up with a name. That’s life man. I’m on to bigger and better stuff-

JK: Well I was under the impression that you were depressed about Hollywood but it sound like your resilient-

SR: Well I was I mean dennis hopper is in the movie now he’s starring in it

JK: It’s been a year

SR: I love Dennis Hopper

Jason: Don’t we all

JK: He was good in Deuce Bigalow oh, that was from the Ben Affleck bit over there.

Jason: No

JK: Well thanks for coming on, it was a pleasure having you.

SR: Thanks for having me, good luck with the show.

JK: Thank you very much. We’ll be right back, folks, stick around.
