who came in made a dent and then disappeared and then came back and made another big splash the consistency the heartwarmingness of it if that's a word it's not but i'm going to pretend it is Heartwarmingness, yeah, that's a word, sure. Yeah, for sure. I'm going to make a word. We love that word. Kelsey, the, like, biggest thing that we have talked about over the years is this mystery of how old you were when you worked one tree. Because, baby, like, we were all old playing teenagers and you were a real teenager, but we didn't know if you were like a preteen?

Like, how old were you? I was 13. Oh, my God. Yeah, and y'all were like these beautiful, like, because you're 24, I think, when I started. Yeah, we're like 10 years older than you, I think. I looked up so, oh, my God. And, um, you were 13? I lost my bra for the audition.

You stuffed your bra? Oh, my God, I had to. And I thought, I remember, I thought I was auditioning for a cheerleader. So I borrowed my friend's cheerleading outfit. And they were like, no, no, no, this is the school nerd. And I was like, that's hysterical. Wait, you went into the audition with a cheerleading uniform? Oh, yeah.

Well, I, like, brought it on the, like, with me. Because I didn't know what I was doing. I had no idea. I mean, it was my first job. So I, like, stuttered my way through the audition. And obviously, like, the nerd, it was a better fit. You did not tell them you were 13, though. I think, I don't think I lied.

I mean, maybe I. I do. mission. It's a lie of omission. Maybe that just wasn't in there. Yeah, they didn't ask you those days. Kelsey, I have a child that's turning 14 and the idea of him carrying the weight, the responsibility of a role like what you were playing, like, is horrified to me. On a show with a bunch of adults, Maria just turned 13 last week. It's the same thing.

I'm like, 13, too. Yeah, I'll text you photos. It's insane. Oh, my God. You're right, Hillary. the weight of that. I didn't know at all what I was doing. And I was just so happy to be there. I couldn't believe my luck that I just, I do remember getting the note like to stop smiling. Oh, you know, I was just so happy to be there. And yeah, so it was such a learning lesson. And, and, you know, because I was so young, my mom and I, we drive up, because I'm from Columbia, South Carolina, which is like three. hours away. Yeah. And, uh, and so we drive up together and, you know, we get per diem and get to stay at the Hilton. Yeah. So we like would get room service. And I think, um, you know, those are some of my favorite memories is just getting to spend that time with her. Um, but yeah,

I, I think my first day, I like started the scene before action and poor Lee Norris, sweet, sweetly Norris was so... Angel. Yeah. Oh, you couldn't have had a better scene partner. Oh, yeah. No, I was in really good hands. Because he was also a child actor. And so understanding kind of like you're a part of the team, but you're also still a kid in a

grown-up world, he really understood how to navigate that. And I think he was really nervous, you know, for all the men, for you to get paired with on the show, Lee Norris was like the best and safest place to be. had you been doing theater? Like, what was your background that led up to this teen drama splash? My awkward years on TV. Yeah. Forever.

Forever. I, you know, I did school plays. And I remember I did my first community theater spot. And I remember that being such a pivotal moment. Because, you know, you have people who work nine to fives who are coming. in because they really love it. And that kind of passion, learning that kind of passion at such a young age was so special. And so I got local age in and this audition came my way. And I mean, never in a million years. You don't ever think it's possible. So yeah, it still kind of blows my

mind. Gosh. Wait, so had you ever kissed a boy in real life or was One Tree Hill? Like, oh, yeah. This is terrible. Okay. So we're diving right in. Go, go dark. Go dark. Yeah, exactly. So I, my first kiss was on One Tree Hill was, was with James in that the whole scene. Oh, God. Wait, what? Your first kiss is James Lafferty? Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. It was poor, like every other man you date from that point forward when your child had you ever. Oh, no, no. It was, I remember I was so incredibly nervous, like, kissing my hand, not eating the shrimp skewer of that day.

Yes. Cinnamon and gum. I remember talking to Sophia and being like, do you kiss during rehearsal? Like, I don't do you're supposed to do. And the worst part is, is that in that scene, I jump him. And I had braces. And so when I tell you that I jumped this poor man and punched his face with my face, you can hear the smack and just hitting his teeth.

Oh my God. It was the worst kiss of my life of his life. Yeah, I should issue an apology. So, so sorry. Wait, which scene was this? I'm so confused. Why do I not remember this? Was it on the basketball court or something?

No, it's when we're reenacting all of Naley's moments. Yes. Yes, at your engagement party. Yeah. It was season four. Oh, okay, on the stage. Yeah. Right.

Was it season three or season? God, that's so hilarious. Listen, I had such a bad kissing scene with James in season one that they made us shoot it twice because they were like they're like you guys just look like you're hurting each so Kelsey frankly I'm happy that you really gave him the what for because um payback's a bitch that's hilarious that much better I don't know I they're always still awkward you know they're so awkward especially having your first real kiss on camera that is that's tough I had to do that in a pilot that I did when I was 14 it was the same thing

and I just didn't, I didn't know what to do. It was fine. Like I had, I think I had probably kissed a boy at summer camp, you know, like, m-a-kind of a kiss, but not a real. I mean, I was supposed to be making out on a couch with a boy. What? And my dad walks in, Paul Servino was my dad. He walks in, he's like, well, he gets mad at us.

Gina Phillips was playing my older sister, and I remember corraling her in my dressing room and being like, you have to tell me what to do. I do not know what to do. Do I stick my tongue down his throat? Do I just like keep my lips together? Do I open my mouth? I don't know what to do. You were leaps and bounds ahead of me.

I wasn't even wondering the open mouth. I shouldn't have talked to you beforehand. No, but apparently I did it badly because whatever I did, when they said cut, the guy was like, are you okay? That was kind of weird. Oh, no. I was like, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm so sorry. I love it.

These are my favorite kinds of stories about work because people forget that like you personally, aren't always caught up to what your character does. I had to play so many drug addicts when I left One Tree Hill and y'all know I've never done drugs. Like, I'm not a drug girl. And just trying to fake it like, yeah, I guess. Yeah, I know what I'm doing.

Oh, yeah. Well, listen. Yeah, I'm so bad. They maybe had you start off as like the square chick. You were still always way too pretty. But then they turned you into like, va, vo, vo, vo. Yeah, what a progression.

Did they? I think they tried. they did they did it succeeded but it was strange i mean i was curious about your take on it which i don't know if you want to talk more about that in the episode or now but yeah what we were watching was just like well but yeah because the the five-year jump it i feel like it it caught up to y'all closer closer to y'all's real age yeah yeah it was uh further away yeah so wait how old were you when we were playing the jump i think i was 16 Holy Christ! Kelsey! Oh, God. They made you say that stuff and you were 16 years old.

Yes, and I am so, I'm 32 and I still don't know how to flirt. Oh, my God. Watching the episode just now being like, is that how you talk to men? We had that discussion two podcasts ago. We're like, with Austin, we're like, do women actually, like, is this ever happened to you? Apparently sometimes it does, but it's rare. Yeah, yeah. I wish I had the balls, but... Oh, I know. So, yeah, I was faking it until I was making.

It may look different, but native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture. It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly, like very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for hundreds of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Taylor Ornellis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner in television history. On the podcast, Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story, along with other native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic-Con or the importance of reservation

basketball. Every day, native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream. Listen to Burn Sageburn Bridges on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. acting and storytelling from a point where you're comfortable with that at that age. Yeah, you know, my parents throughout, my parents were so wonderful. My dad was really Chinese about it, where he was like, look, if you make good grades, you can do whatever. Great.

It's an experience. She's on honor roll. Who cares if she's on the news desk? Yeah. Yeah, but he wasn't so happy about the time jump, but being a nerd. heard at the gym was totally fine. And my dad, my mom was so, I mean, I got to thank my mom because she really was so, she's always giving me the gift of possibility.

It was like, why not? Why not take a leap and why couldn't this happen? Why couldn't you be on TV or, you know, whatever I wanted to do? And so I think, and she was always with me on set, but I think, you know, navigating the time jump too was was difficult because, you know, I don't know. I mean, she was she's a liberal woman. She was in California. She went to school in California in the 70s. So she's, she's, I remember her like, she was watching the sopranos when I was growing up and I'd always sneak in to watch it with her. And so she kind of like was always okay with all of that stuff as long

was we could talk about it and she was such a protective force you know like did you run lines with your mom but i did i run lines like who did you run these lines oh yeah these lines dad uh can you come run these lines and yeah exactly can you be male um oh god you know i don't remember i don't remember i remember like i also remember y'all being so wonderful and protective as well especially when, yeah, we were shifting gears in the, she was getting more sexy. You know, like having to take my shirt off. And I remember being really nervous about all of that and not knowing what I was supposed to do. And I remember Sophia specifically being like really protective of like, all right, so we're wearing a tube top above the shoulder, you know, which I really appreciate.

because it's scary navigating all of this. And you don't know, you don't know that you can say no. No, you don't. Until you see someone else do it. Yeah. Until you see another chick do it and her world doesn't fall apart. You're like, oh, no, I guess I'll just make myself fit into this position. And I think I thought you were 15 and that was shocking.

and you telling me that you were 13 and then like 16 doing this is just blowing my mind. Yeah, I'm having a hard time. Your level of professionalism, you know, you were tricking the girls who were already like in the fight. We were already the ones who were like, this is bullshit. You can't do this. And you came in and you were like, I am totally composed and I am going to make the best of this situation. Yeah, it's a level of professionalism. you wouldn't expect from like a kid you were a kid but listen i had so much support through y'all

and through the crew because i grew up also with the crew like from i think 13 to 17 was when i was on the show so i did feel i always felt really protected in that way yeah you brought so much good energy in like it makes sense that everyone was like protect her at all yeah it was like little sister energy we did want to protect you especially because you were so beautiful we saw the content that was coming your way. We knew the person who was writing it and the person who was like putting you in those positions. And yeah, I think we all were feeling protective and wanting to just make sure that you were okay. Like just hanging around on set a little longer when you had your scenes and just making sure that you were comfortable. I remember having one

conversation with you. I can't, I don't know when it was, but, and it wasn't a long conversation, but it was just like a check-in. Like, are you comfortable with all this? Is all this okay? And I'm sure you had those conversations with probably Hillary and Sophia. too. But yeah, we were talking about it behind the scenes and making sure you were good because that's just such an uncomfortable position for 13, 16. And Barbara, too. I remember Barbara also being like, is she okay? Is everything right? Yeah. Oh, God. Yeah. We were like orcas. We would all just kind of like circle around you. So whether or not you could see us, the orcas are there. Yeah. Ready to flip boats. I also needed help with just like the girl, like, you know, of like, I remember I had

to dance in one scene, which is also terrifying. Yeah, that's uncomfortable. Know how to do this. Or like, you know, yeah, it was a lot of growing up and navigating, you know, like. But we also had this cool pack of younger girls on the show at this point. Like you, I think, were the youngest of them. But we had Kate Vogel who was there. We also had Ashley Rickards who was there.

And all of a sudden. So happy. Because I think, I think, because I don't know if Kate and I ever cross. but Ashton I did, and I was like, thank God. Yeah, there's another one. You were 50, too? Yeah. Yeah, but it was kind of like Peyton and Brooke all over again.

Because if you're the Brooke and you're the slutty one taking her shirt off, and she's the angry Peyton one who's climbing out of windows of being grumpy, you know, like that's fun to watch. Yeah, she's incredible in this episode, too. I'm curious, just from an acting standpoint, because you weren't given too much meat on the show. You know, you, you, it was pretty fluffy material and you always were just so sincere and you made the most out of, I think just because you were kind of so in your body and you, maybe because you were so young, you weren't really, quote unquote, acting. You were just being there and present. But it is, the, the material was just sort of a certain surface level. And to see the progression of your career and the kind of performances that you have given now, you know, what I have seen you do on Yellowstone, which has on my mind so many times. My husband doesn't believe that I know you.

Jeffrey's always like, you don't know her, Hillary. No, she's like important. You don't know her. Hell him. I can't believe I know he was. It's so funny. You don't know her. But no, you're a beautiful, dramatic actress. Y'all got to come

to Montana because we got one more season left. Oh, I'm glad to hear that. Joy has been talking about being on Yellowstone for years. If you don't put her on a horse. Oh my God. It would Amazing. Be in the background. We're not going to put up in the background, Julie.

You're going right front and center. Please. I'll just ride a horse through the background. But anyway, I'm just curious about your progress as an actor, how you went from this sort of surface and then you were on a Disney show. And it's really unusual, I think, for actors who start out in that tier to move into something that's so well-respected and really the quality of your work is so, so, so excellent and nuanced, and it can be hard to, I think, to drop into that place when you're used to sort

of doing the jazz hands show stuff. How did you make that transition? I'm sorry if that made no sense. Did it make sense? No, it's like when Michelle Pfeiffer did grease too and then she did you know, Scarface right after that, you know, like, it's, it's making the jump from the giggly shit to super serious work. Oh, that, it means so much, first of all. I mean, really, I think me at 13, I think couldn't believe that I'm sitting here talking to y'all, like she'd be over the moon right now. Um, so it's so special. I, I, yeah, I think when I was on one trail, I couldn't believe I was there. I was just lucky to be, to be there. And so you kind of, and you're taking in as much information as you can

because you're learning how sets work. And I think that is, first off, such a valuable lesson. It really is you learn so much by doing. So I think watching you guys and watching y'all navigate a set was so incredibly helpful and such a great foundation. And the Disney show as well was I love doing that show because I think the American sitcom is such a beautiful medium. Because it combines TV with film, and so we had all these kids.

And if a joke doesn't land, we go in and we try again. So fun. And you're playing dress up. It was so wonderful. And I don't know. I mean, to this day, I feel like I'm pulling the wool over for one size. So you didn't do any dramatic training or anything? No, I think I need to.

I really should. I need some. No, no, don't. You could change. No, you're great. You know, we all do. We just wear sponges. We just try and pick up as much as we can from our fellow actors and trying new things.

And what's really fun, too, is, I mean, your relationship with the work changes constantly. And I even found, you know, I found auditions just horrible and, oh, they're the worst. I couldn't stand it. And then with the self-tapes and stuff, I finally just thought, you know what, this is part of the job, too. and like, how can I make this moment just really fun and bring in the parts that I love about the job into it? So I don't know. I'm learning.

And hopefully I'm a better actor, you know, now than I was then. And I'll keep evolving. But, well, you can see the level of seriousness that you brought to Gigi because she could have just been a punchline. And when she's hurt by mouth, when she's younger, and when there's like this. validation she's seeking from him, there is a level of sincerity there

that's not on the page. That's something that you infused into the character and made her very human and very girlish and likable. Even as she's trying to seduce poor Millie's boyfriend, she's so fucking likable, man. Yeah.

Like you can't be mad at her. You did that. Oh, well, bless you. I had tried. I think it was being in high school, you just, you know, I was saying earlier, you just feel everything exponentially. So it was so easy to kind of put all those raging feelings into this.

But I think that's why people connect with this show. So my sister was so young when she, I said she never, she's eight years younger. So she didn't watch it when it came out. Oh, wow. Watched it from start to finish. It's so funny like seeing these new generations watching the show. Yeah. Oh, it really resonates with them.

I mean, my sister was like, the next convention. Oh, my God, yes. No way. I'm inviting myself. Yes, bring her. Bring her. Do you still get recognized from as Gigi? The fans to this day are the best fans of any project I've ever been on.

The fact that you, the fact that the fans remember my lines when I'm just a blip on the show is unbelievable. Yeah, I mean, I think that was why I was in a bar and someone came up to me and said one of my lines. And I couldn't believe it. But they are, and going to those basketball games and seeing for the charity basketball games and the fans come from all over the world. I mean, it must have been so crazy for y'all, like such a wild experience. Well, the fans have questions for you.

We just put out a query last night on social media and there was a flood because they, Everybody is attached to your character. If Peyton Sawyer had thrown herself at someone's boyfriend, she would have been vilified and was. But when Gigi does it, she's a doll baby. Everybody loves Gigi. I love it. I love it.

Yeah, somehow you manage that. You managed to like wedge yourself into one of the favorite fan relationships, Mouth and Millie. And still, people just love Gigi. Mm-hmm. How did you do it? Well, I was watching last night being like, this is not okay.

Oh, my God. And, yeah, I really felt for Millie. I'm so sorry that she was, yeah, it was really against me, Kelsey's will. So we'll tell her, we'll tell her that you said that. Yeah. It may look different, but native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture. It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly, like, very traditional.

It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for a hundred of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Taylor Ornellis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner in television history. On the podcast, Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story, along with other native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic-Con, or the importance of reservation basketball. Every day, native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream.

Listen to Burn Sageburn Bridges on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, so Carly wants to know, did you relate to Jesus? Gigi's character at all, or is she just like the complete opposite of yourself? I think I am, I may be more comfortable being the school nerd versus being the second Gigi 2.0. The Fembot. I don't know if I was quite so, you know, horny as Gigi.

No. Yeah, what was her deal? Good. Yeah, yeah. Okay, let's see. Carolyn wants to know if you could have created your own storyline for Gigi. What would that have been? I think I would just want to be in more scenes with y'all, to be honest. Oh, girl time. Yeah, why didn't we ever get like a Gigi Sam, Mia, Peyton, Brooke, and Haley weekend? Because they knew that we would tell the younger girls. Run. That's right. I guess that's true.

Block that number on your phone. Run. No, we did have a good time, though, at the 100th episode party. You were there, were you? It was that? That was the party where everyone was all dressed up. I was at some party. Yeah. We had a big party that you were at, because I remember you showed up with a couple of the other girls.

Yeah, I think it was that boathouse restaurant, like 100th episode party. Right on the, at the beach? I don't know. I mean, I remember going to the season three rap party and, you know, of like wearing the ugliest dress that I thought was going to be so cute. We all regret our fashion back then. Don't feel that. A lot of those empire waist like bubble dresses. Yeah, the bubble dress.

Half of what we talk about on this show. Why did we wear that? No. Yeah, that would have been fun to have an all-girls thing. I know. Payton needed an intern. Payton didn't have an intern. Frankly, I'm really jealous that, like,

Lee had not only an intern, but she was so popular, she had a going away party. Like, yes. Well, actually, speaking of that, Kev wants to know what your favorite memory is from working with Lee. Oh, gosh. My favorite memory. Well, okay, this one is so, this one's so funny because it's like, I'm so lame in this story.

But I remember it was, it really has to do, I think, with, kind of what we were talking about before of like how kind and generously was, like knowing that I was so young. And then also and just being like so welcoming and protective and patient. And so for his birthday, I remember I got him. I mean, this really dates me. But I bought him iPod socks. Oh, honey.

iPod socks? What is that? Apple had just released iPod socks in like, multiple colors are these socks that have iPods on them or are they socks that you put your iPods in? They were like socks

your iPod and I thought it was going to be really cool and I like it's the lamest gift ever and I remember making me feel like I had gifted him a Rolex it was just so he was like this is so cool

thank you so much like he was such a sweetie about it Like I think back on him, my God, he was, yeah, that was so, way too generous of a response for that, yeah. iPod socks are like a thing. That should be, like, we should have like iPhone socks. I don't have an iPhone sock. If someone brought that to me on set. I would use an iPhone sock.

Yeah, keep your screen all fresh and clean. Girl, yes. Sounds great. My other favorite memory of him is probably seeing him at the convention. now because this was when I was probably like 25 or so and I brought my mom and my sister and you know just being like old enough to like grab a drink and just hang out

had you watched him on like Boy Meets World or you were you even alive when that show was on oh my gosh yeah yeah of course he was like yeah big Minkus fan so it was like really bonkers to be working with him hold on I need to go off on a tangent question here, because it's dawning on me that, like, you were our target demographic when the show was on the air. And so before you joined the cast, were you like a Lucas girl?

Were you a Nathan girl? Like, who did you as like a girl have a crush on? It was very easy for me. I was completely a Nathan girl. And you got to kiss James, your first on screen kiss. Oh my God, it's such a crush on James, too. so then like it was he's so nice yeah oh my gosh so nice and so yeah oh god it yeah it was cruel like the whole kiss thing and you guys were closer in age too you don't want to get what you for you know well that's it the horror of having like a childhood crush and then actually kissing that person on camera oh no horrifying i could never that's an actual nightmare you'd wake up from and go. I hope that never had it. They did it like six different ankles. With one

being back on it now. Why did you? Did we need that? Oh, God. It's too many times that he probably had to ice his mouth. No, honey. Those are just love bites. It's fine. Yeah, love brace lesions. Oh, it's so good. Fine. He's healed. He's healed. He's fine. I don't worry about him. Okay. Do you typically watch the work that you do like are you have you watched yellowstone are you a fan of obviously you're a fan of the show you're on it but like do you watch it all or are you like i can't watch my work um i i think i'm i love watching like even rewatching this episode today i love seeing i love seeing all of you i loved watching the show again it felt so good i could skip over my thoughts stop that was a little

too much. I was like, I texted my sister and was like, oh my God, hey, my soul, this is so beautiful. It doesn't get better. We're six seasons in and I'm still like, oh, God, I'm on screen. I have to watch this and take notes. It's brave for what for, yeah. It's painful sometimes. You're also much better actors. No, babe, you honestly, somebody else could have come in and really made all of that stuff just loathsome, you know? And you, Gigi always has a twinkle in her eye, even when she's saying heinous and there's this element of mischief and like, I'm just going to see if I can push this boundary and what I can get away with. And yeah, it's not great for poor Millie, but I don't know another actress who could have made it

likable. You know, you handled that. I totally agree. Yes, somehow it was still wholesome while you were like, let's have sex and your girlfriend doesn't need to know. She's so likable. Because she's a child. Oh, God. Oh, God. It's so, yeah. Did boys at school think that you were fast because you were playing a fast character on TV? Fast.

Fast. That's my old-timey word. That's such a good question. I mean, I do remember one of my best friends' moms being like, why? Like to my mom, like, what are you letting her do this? Say these things on television. And what control would your mom have? Like, who was she going to say note, you know?
