It's Seth Green, everybody, by the way. So you've been acting to you for like a tiny baby, a little kid. Did you force the parents to let you do it? Or did they encourage you? Or you were like, I want to do this. I was like, I need to do it. You're in New York, you're here. I was in Philadelphia and was able to get an audition with a manager. I've been able my way into a on-campa training school in Philadelphia when I was six years old. My mom, this is the thing I really credit my parents with, is they let me run away and join the circus. Like, my mom went with me on all these auditions, took me on all of these jobs. Like, what an insane nine years we spent together doing this thing. And it's crazy for me, because you think about a kid, your kid, coming to you with that level of certainty. Like, can you even believe them? Okay, if you had a kid hypothetically, would you let them be a child actor? Well, that kind of depends on how seriously they are about it. It's a weird thing to say. How do you gauge that? I'd be optimistic that I'd raise a kid that would be comfortable telling me how they actually feel. I'd be optimistic that I would be able to encourage a kid to tell me the truth, in at least with respect to what they want or how they feel. And I know the moments, like the catalytic moments in my life that made me certain that what I did is perform in whatever shape that takes. What I do is perform. If a kid, if my kid came to me with that level of certainty and willingness to actually do the work to be disciplined, it's not an easy fucking task. But I don't you worry about just the inherent danger of it. Meaning it seems like you've escaped mental illness, but many child actors don't. Absolutely, but I'm also intentionally set to study myself, my feelings, and my access to them in tandem with becoming a better person. Were you always? Yeah, I'm saying when you're 10, I just think like there's something about, not only like mullestation, I'm just talking about. Yeah, yeah, no, being having a perform. I don't need different bullets. Like I think about how many times it was demanded of me to engage in an adult way before I was emotionally prepared to, but I don't blame anybody for that. And I also look at, you know, some of it's luck, some of it's prep, some of it's just like who you are. I've reflected not with a survivor's guilt, but like an unflinching assessment of just how close I came to dying or being poisoned or being raped. Any of these kinds of things like you specific incidences? Yes, generally, or even, or even how many, like anytime someone's come forward and they're like, this person raped me, this person molested me, or when I was young, I wound up in this kind of situation. I'll be like, oh my god, I hung out with that person. I was in a car with that person. I went to an audition and spent an afternoon with this person. I think, and like in those moments, I could reflect sort of and assume like, oh, what was that? And but the things that I remember were not incidents of somebody praying upon. Right. But you were adjacent. You were in the same venue or the same. We just kind of crazy. Yeah, but I would do everything I could to prepare that kid for those levels of awareness. Like as fucked up as that sounds, I got exposed to tons of adult concepts, cultural things like a million different schools of thought. And all it did was make me a little more aware that those kinds of things coexisted with all of these opportunities to do good. So and probably a lot of positive adult concepts. So like not just like, no, I learned with the native one. I had an accelerated rate. I learned about things at an earlier time. So I didn't formulate a world view that was inhibited by an ignorance of the existence of these things. So your mom was taking to these things. Did she also take you to, did you also play soccer and all that shit? No, because I'm wondering what the dip, because when you say you and your mom go in auditions for nine years, do you think it ends up being around the same amount of soccer practices, games, basketball? Interesting. I don't know. We had probably more away games than the average team. Like, it's like, yeah, you're like, you're like, like Montreal, like, club league, yeah, just not cities and states and countries. All right. Do you have to go shoot for a month or what was the one? We were in all the way. Was that was, yeah, it was all Montreal. I hope that my parents got away. Did they, my parents went away. I was already living alone in LA. I had an apartment in my own and was responsible. How old? Ooh, 17. I moved out. What do you make of that looking back? Well, it gives me a different impression of 17 year olds. When I meet them, as far as like, I had a level of certainty and capability, discipline, responsibility to not just succeed, but thrive at an age where no one, no adult, would have ordinarily given me that level of respect. But I had proven it over and over again that not only was I good at the thing, but I was going to work hard enough to be awesome at the thing. And if you hired me, not only am I going to come to fucking tear this thing apart, but I'm going to do something memorable that nobody's ever seen. You used to book a lot of shit. Like, you weren't a lot. I was like, oh, fuck that guy. Found my niche. Affable stoner. The like kind of weird best friend. Who's always telling you, you should try this carbonated soda. I always, when I do commercial, sometimes I, on pitches, I say like, I'm not going to have people do what I call sunny D acting. And you're exactly the right age. Do you probably audition for it? Like, sunny D. We got soda, OJ, purple stuff, and two guys of sunny D. You get the same age as I did. I did a whole crush campaign. Like they, so you couldn't do sunny day. Yeah, but they teed me up. I did their cream soda, their orange soda. Darring crush. It's got huge taste. It's like massive. And it was a, it was a director. I did their great soda at one point. And they had different flavors for different regions. So we would do the Canadian stuff, the Australian stuff. It was crazy. But I got in with this director and this company. And whenever they needed, you know, the kind of accessible slacker, they called me, you can get a rhythm doing commercials. Or anything. Like when the casting people know you and can count on you for something, and then they call you in and you give them what they're expecting. Everybody makes everybody look good. It's very exciting. Yeah. That's how this business runs. Hey, did you like that? Did you like that? Yeah, did you like it though? You want more? Don't want to work. Would rather watch videos of me, grab assing with people. First, I'll go up here to subscribe. And then go up here to watch more clips. This is like when the weather man says there's a high pressure system coming in. I'm not really used to the green screen. you
