(Wayne on Gilmore Girls) Marty: (to Rory) And you're still as beautiful as ever...
(long pause)
Rory: I think you should be over there with Lucy...
(Marty walks up to Lucy and kisses her) (edit) Wayne (About a movie coming out next year): Oh, Interivew, yeah. Steve Buscemi directed that, it was nice, I felt lucky to meet him. Steve plays a journalist for a newspaper and they send him on what he considers to be a bogus interview. Sienna Miller plays the soap-opera star that he gets sent to interview — he sees it as a little bit beneath him — so he goes and, to coin a phrase from The Real World, "It's what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real." (Laughs) (edit) Wayne (His scoop to Marty's feelings towards Rory on Gilmore Girls): Well, I can't say for sure and just so you know, they run a tight ship over there, they're pretty secretive about their episodes, even with us. I can honestly say that I don't know, but what I've done so far… that awkwardness between them? It continues, it gets a little heated, which hopefully makes for good drama. (edit) Wayne (When asked if he prefers the stage over TV, or the combination of both): I love the combination of both. Besides making me feel like a rock star, it makes me feel like a good actor. They're completely different mediums, they call for different skills. (edit) Wayne (Tells us how he got the part of Marty on Gilmore Girls): It's interesting how I actually got the part. I read some scenes that were Dean and Rory scenes. I was waiting tables at the Mercer Kitchen in Soho and then Gilmore Girls producers/writers Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino were staying at the Mercer Hotel. I served them breakfast, and they asked me if I was an actor. I gave them my agent's information and they ended up calling and put me on tape just to see what I could do, and they said, "We're writing this part for you, Marty." And I was like, "Wow, that's weird and great and fast and something completely unexpected." But the scenes that I read were Dean scenes, so they were thinking along that vein as well.
(That's such a great story!)
Wayne: I know, right? I'm so lucky! (edit)
