Coming from the go.

You agree?

Speaker 5

Where are you, Tyler name.

Speaker 3

I'm a little studio in Canada.

Speaker 1

Okay, fine today, speaking of Canada, I wasn't gonna say anything, but earlier today I had my Canadian citizenship ceremony, so I'm now officially.

Speaker 3

A dual citizen.

Speaker 1

So I had today, had it all set up and I'd like to sing the national them with all these other immigrants in French.

And it was like it was for like the first apt that I was like, okay, this is a little much, and then by the end I was like teary eyed and I was like, whoa, I'm really like really feeling this, you know.

Speaker 3

It was like real cute.

Speaker 5

Yeah, that's so beautiful.

It's like Meg Ryan and French kiss.

Speaker 6

You know, when she goes to the immigration office, She's like, I want to be just like you.

She starts singing the anthem please Meg Ryan and French kiss with that movie with Kevin Klein, and she desperately wants to be a Canadian citizen, but they won't let her because.

Speaker 5

She lied on location.

Oh it's a great movie anyway.

Speaker 4

Yeah, it would have been great if you had asked the other citizens to be to shush if you guys, I've dropped a lot of albums.

Maybe you let me take this one if I may.

Yeah, welcome to the pod Bud.

Speaker 1

Oh my god, it's the Tyler Hilton super Fan.

Oh my god, guys, go outside.

Speaker 4

The Tyler is referring to dear listeners.

Is that Joy and I changed our zoom names.

Joy changed hers to Chris Keller's side piece and I changed mine to Tyler Hilton super Fan.

Speaker 3

Oh my god.

Speaker 6

Oh listen for anybody out there who doesn't already know, I mean, obviously you've watched the show with us, you know who Tyler is.

You know Chris Keller.

But we also need to tell you this is great bio that our producers put together that I would be remiss not to read at least some of this.

Speaker 5

It's just so good.

Friends.

Speaker 6

Tyler Hilton is both an actor and accomplished singer songwriter, and began his professional music career in two thousand.

Then in two thousand and four released his first major label album, The Tracks of Tyler Hilton.

So then he first he goes off and plays Elvis Presley in the Golden Globe Award winning Best Motion Picture Walk the Line.

And then we got him on One Tree Hill as Chris Keller.

He went on, he did guest appearances on Castle, he was on CBS's Extant.

He's done a bunch of a string of amazing movie Christmas movies and Lifetime.

He was excuse me, one of People Magazine's fifty most Beautiful People.

And aside from that and then being in the MGM feature Charlie Bartlett opposite Robert Downey Junior, he also appeared in Taylor swifts hit video Tear Drops on My Guitar.

So we're really happy to have you and all of your wow amazing resume joining us once again.

Speaker 1

I didn't mention I can also do fifteen unbroken pushups and.

Speaker 6

The Canadian national anthem Ladies and Gentlemen Tyler Hilton in French.

Speaker 3

If I'm led.

Speaker 4

That's wow.

Speaker 3

You know.

Speaker 4

One of the things I like about doing the show is that I learned things new things about people I already know pretty well, like a lot with like soph and Joy and right now, I didn't know about a third of those things.

And I mean, I already knew how accomplished you were and how talented you are.

But dang, my friend.

Speaker 5

Dude, fifty most Beautiful People have.

Speaker 4

Can I tell you something?

If I was making the list, you would be in the top five.

I would have you'd have made top five people.

Speaker 5

That's right.

Speaker 4

I demand a recount.

What year was that?

Speaker 1

It was a long time ago, like probably like five or something.

Speaker 4

I bet if they did it now, you'd crack top ten.

You should resubmit yourself for that.

That's that's how that.

Speaker 1

Works, right.

Speaker 3

Category Maybe Yeah.

Speaker 5

They take submissions.

Can you imagine?

Speaker 4

Can you imagine how hilarious and equally sad and cringe it would be if if we actually launched our own press campaign to be featured in the next US weekly is Most Beautiful People Magazine?

Speaker 1

Is it?

Speaker 4

People People Magazine magazine?

Yeah, we each go like one hundred and fifty grand in the hole just putting up ads of ourselves being like for your consideration, And it's just like us eating a popsicle on a hot day shirt lists.

Speaker 6

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to see that.

I want to see that calendar, the two of you just trading off month to month.

Just yeah, that's what I want to see.

Speaker 1

Me the first duo that would submit together for about to fifty vote.

Speaker 3

Maybe not individually, but together combined.

Speaker 4

Do we this?

Speaker 3

Yes?

Speaker 5

For sure?

The most beautiful person combined.

Speaker 4

Yes, with our combined hotness, we could definitely crack the top twenty.

Speaker 3

Yeah, our combined qualities, taking the best of both.

Yeah, do we now?

Are we now competitive?

Speaker 5

I like, you've got my vote.

Speaker 3

Thank you for pumping me up.

Speaker 6

Right now, We're going to do a Q and A.

So I think we should just launch into some of these questions.

Yeah, okay, So our first one is from Sydney.

She's asking you who your dream person is to write, perform and produce with living or dead?

Speaker 3

Oh my god, great, we should say Elvis.

Speaker 1

To be honest, I was actually sometimes I go through these like little phases where I just get really into Elvis again, and like recently I've been getting into it again, and I like, every time I circle back, I'm like, why do.

Speaker 3

I like Elvis so much?

I don't know.

Speaker 1

I don't know, but there's something about him and his vibe and his music that like speaks to me, and if I could, I would love to be in the studio with him.

Also on that note, I realized I'm living what would have been his last year of his life.

So as like a young Elvis fan, this is a crazy year for me because I've always thought about that as I was growing up.

What's it going to be like one day to God, willing be older than Elvis one day, you know, because he's always been much older and this year is, like, you know, would be the last year of his life.

So funny you asked that, But I'm going through like an Elvis resurgence personally where I'm like, WHOA feeling some like weird jusu and like just connected again or something.

Speaker 3

I don't know, it's weird.

It's weird.

Speaker 4

Did you feel that way about him before you landed the role of playing el.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, Like I was sitting for Halloween like almost every year as a kid, Like I was obsest with him, and I went into for walk the Line.

I don't know if you I told you, but like to be an extra to literally be like in Johnny Cash's background, bad and they were like, hey, do you know any Elvis songs?

And I was like, yeah, I know all of them, Like that's my vibe is Elvia.

So I played him a bunch of Elva songs and they're like, oh, well, you come back and read some lines and I was like.

Speaker 3

As what and they're like, like at Elvis and I was like, in this movie, like I heard the story.

It was so weird.

Speaker 1

And I was like, and then they get they I got the part.

And when I told you this, I got the part.

Speaker 3

And I said no because I was like, oh, I'm not playing Elvis.

No, no, no.

Speaker 1

I came in to be an extra like a musician.

I can't play my favorite person in the whole world.

Speaker 3

There's no way.

Speaker 1

And I've never acted before professionally.

I'm not playing Elvis.

And they were like are you sure, and I was like one dred percent without a doubt, there's no way I'm doing this, Like, no way, And then I ran.

Speaker 3

Into walking Phoenix in a bar.

Speaker 4

I can't still tell.

Speaker 5

You to stop it right now?

Speaker 3

No, no, this is I can't.

I thought I was.

Speaker 1

I thought you're gonna sa guys.

Time I've heard the story of Millia done.

Speaker 5

I've never heard this before.

Speaker 3

So I ran him in.

Speaker 1

A bar and I was I was underage, and so I was buzzed.

I probably had like a beer or something, and I told my friend.

Speaker 3

I was like, Oh, that's Joaquin Phoenix.

I just tried out for this movie he's doing.

Speaker 1

I was like, I'm gonna go say hi, and and so I went up to him and I was like, hey, man, I read your script.

It's so good, and like good luck with it.

And he goes, you're Tyler Hilton.

I've never done anything.

I've never even released.

Speaker 3

An album this and I was like yeah.

And he's like, I saw your auditions take you have to do the movie.

And I was like.

Speaker 1

Wait.

Speaker 3

I was like no, no.

I was like, oh, here's the mistake.

Speaker 1

I came in to be in Johnny Cash's background band and they asked me to read lines and then I'm not even I'm not an actor.

And he was like, he was like, I don't even care.

He's like, they're trying to cast musicians for these other roles.

Speaker 3

Now, looking back, I think what.

Speaker 1

They were doing is asking musicians to come in and then polling guys that they thought like the other characters and they wanted real musicians to play the other guys, so it ended up being played by all these signed artists and stuff like Jerry Lee and all this.

And he was like, dude, I'll stand on an apple box because that was the first time I remember hearing the word apple box.

Speaker 3

They never heard that before.

He's like, I'll do whatever.

Speaker 1

You gotta do this he's and he told me he's like Resent, I had been taking guitar lessons vocal.

Speaker 3

Lessons for like two years.

Speaker 1

We are so out of our element, I promise, no matter how nervous you are, we are like more nervous.

Speaker 3

And that was the last time he was ever that normal and nice again.

Speaker 1

After that he went into method act and I never met that guy.

Maybe no, I don't think I ever met that guy again, because even when we were doing promo, he was onto some weird other thing and he was just always in some weird character.

Speaker 3

He was so clear and so nice and charming.

Speaker 1

And so I called my agent from that bar and I was like, you won't believe this, Like is that role still available?

Speaker 3

And she's like I don't know, Like we turned it down so hard.

Speaker 1

So she calling back and she's like, yeah, they say you could do it, isn't that crazy?

Speaker 5

I cannot get my jaw off the floor.

Speaker 3

I was like I was too into Elvis to do it.

I was like, no, I can't do it.

Speaker 6

Oh my god, that's unreal, unreal.

Speaker 1

Truly, and like, how I'm so And it's such a good like example of how stupid I am at making career decisions, Like I am horrible.

Speaker 3

I'm always been bad.

Speaker 1

Like I'll be like I don't know if I should do that, and then it would have been something should have done and be like you know what I want to do and it's like the worst idea ever, Like I should just go with the flow more.

You know, this is like my big lesson in life.

But yeah, I was so adamant, like no, I'm not doing it.

Speaker 4

This reminds me of the time you turned down the lead of Guardians of the Galaxy because you thought it might turn out corny.

Speaker 5

And doing all right, that's the best Hollywood story.

Speaker 6

That's like Marilyn Monroe getting discovered at the Soda Fountain, which who knows if that actually happened.

Speaker 3

Right, that's unreal, Hold you guys, that that's crazy.

Speaker 4

Wow.

Speaker 5

Wow.

Speaker 1

And it was great because the whole vibe of the movie was everyone was so out of their element, like everyone was just nervous and it was beautiful, you know, Like so it didn't feel like oh Reese Witherspoon.

Speaker 3

It felt like they were nervous to be around us.

Speaker 1

We were all nervous to be around them, and it was like it was a vibe crazy awesome anyway, So yeah, I love Elvis and good question, thank you.

Speaker 4

Samantha asks storylines aside, which main character would you want Chris to be endgame with?

Speaker 1

Oh man, I mean, I don't want to get my ass kicked, but I think like Hayley would be a nice little ending there.

Speaker 6

You'd have some serious redeeming to do.

I mean, Chris Kelly would have to work hard to redeem.

Speaker 1

I was watching that episode and I was like, it's like relentless Chris Keller all the time.

Speaker 3

He never stops is one mode.

But he never stopped being into Haley, which is so funny.

Speaker 1

Like even if yeah, he's just like he never I mean, he had the girlfriends, he had whatever, but like, I think that's one of the charming things.

Speaker 3

He genuinely was into this check, do you.

Speaker 1

Know what I mean, which is so funny for like more than nine years, because you guys jumped ahead for like what fifteen years.

Speaker 3

He's been into the same check.

It's crazy.

Speaker 4

It's a testament to you, though, that Chris Keller is even well, the fact that he's adored, let alone even liked on the show, because if you just look at the lines on the page, dude, it is a one note Lethario dialed up to a twelve.

Yeah, the fact that you thread the needle so well between being charming with glimpses of vulnerability on top of that boy, just in the hands of a lesser actor, that role would have been a disaster.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 6

We talk about that all the time on this podcast.

Whenever you're in scenes, we're just like, I don't know how he does it.

It's kind of a magical thing.

Speaker 3

I don't know what happened.

Speaker 1

But I can't believe either I or the character have not got canceled yet.

Speaker 3

But like they Yeah, it's like a weird thing.

Speaker 1

I don't There must be something in it that, like something about me as a person or an actor is like, no way, this guy is good for it.

He's writing checks that he can't cash, so we can throw whatever wines that we want at him and there's no way he's gonna.

Speaker 3

I don't know something about it, but.

Speaker 4

Yeah, yeah, there is something to be said for there is an implicit likability to you, Like if you just watched the show on mute, you'd be like, oh, this is one of the good guys, and so.

Speaker 5

I think, great, Yeah, I think.

Speaker 4

It buys you a lot of leeway, Whereas I think if we just had some smoldering sex pylon playing the role.

Not to say that you can't do that, but you know what I'm saying, Like if it was Joe Mangonello doing it, I don't know if it have worked.

Speaker 5

Yeah, no, I don't think it would have.

Speaker 1

There is something like I think generally like harmless about about Chris Keller, something about it that allows you to get away with it or something I don't know or me, I don't know.

Speaker 6

Well, there's certainly an internal joy in you.

I mean that I've known since I've known you.

There's this this bassline of joy in your in your person, within you that no matter like, no matter what, and again not to I mean to Rob's point, like not that you couldn't as an actor play something that's heavier and darker because you have those depths within you.

That's one of the things that makes you such a good songwriter.

But there's still this like baseline of joy.

I think that really comes out, especially in Chris that if you watch it on mute, you're just like, that's a happy, goofy guy.

Speaker 5

Like, yeah, whatever he's saying.

Speaker 3

That is funny.

It is funny too.

Speaker 1

Like the longer that we're actors, I'm sure you like are getting a sense of this.

There's like in essence we have that we constantly get cast for or whatever that is, you know, And with all the competition out there and all the people from around the world zooming in or doing whatever for a role, the thing that you can't that makes.

Speaker 3

You competitive is that essence, whatever that is.

Speaker 1

It's so weird and I and anyway, that's interesting.

Yeah, like that, they're yeah, but I don't know what that is.

That's really interesting though.

It's funny.

Speaker 6

Okay, Well, Skyler's asking how of the friendships that you've made from Montree Hill impacted your life?

Speaker 1

Oh my god, I was thinking about that actually the episode and we'll, I know, we'll talk more about it later.

Speaker 3

But I remember when we were doing this.

Speaker 1

Actually, the misrip ties to the question the police scene.

For whatever reason, I remember that day because it was one of the first times you and I had got a chance to really hang out in years, because when I came back to the show there, we weren't doing conventions or anything then, and so it had been four or five years since i'd done the show, and I remember I saw you at the table with your new baby, and you know, like it had been that long.

And then we didn't really hang even in the first few episodes too, it was quick scenes.

It was this and that, we're filming you or a new mom.

Speaker 3

But that day we happened to.

Speaker 1

Be at that police station for an extended period of time and there were no other cast numbers, and I remember, I don't know what we but I remember thinking, oh, it's so cool to see Joy again and actually like catch up.

Speaker 3

And I forgot about that till I watched the episode.

Speaker 1

But that's just to say that these conventions have given us such an opportunity to continue to hang multiple times a year, and so I go through these phases where I get close with different cast numbers at different times, and recently Rob and I connected at the drama Queen's Boston thing that you guys had us at, and we literally made a conscious effort.

Speaker 3

We're like, why aren't we best friends?

I don't know, I can't figure it out, and we're like, let's do it.

Speaker 1

You just have stayed in touch, like on almost a daily basis.

Speaker 6

I was gonna say, how often do you guys talk just about every day?

Speaker 3

No jokes?

Speaker 1

Yeah, like at least the check in, But like, it's just we're he I've always thought he's, you know, so cool, so smart, you know, I look up to him in so many ways, and we're going through so many similar things being dads, small towns that we are new to us.

Speaker 3

And it was just like, why why don't we do this?

Like, let's just do.

Speaker 4

This, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1

Yeah, So we just like we just became friends, you know, And it's so funny and like and I go through different phases like that.

Lee and I were so close in the first few seasons.

Chad and I were really close in we were roommates.

Speaker 3

But it's great.

Speaker 1

There's so many cast members and so many years that it really gives you time to like get to know everybody over time.

You know, you and I were so close and we were touring and on the road together, you know, so it's just cool, really cool.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 4

All right, well Alicia wants to know what was your favorite storyline for Chris Keller.

Speaker 1

I mean, all the season nine stuff was like great, Like, I mean you're not watching the podcast, I'm sure, well, I don't want to give way anything just in case, but like asked me to come back and do the last seas in and I was like, uh, oh, you know, I'll see.

Speaker 3

If I can or something.

Speaker 1

He's like, read the first page of the first episode and then decide, and I was like why.

And the first page of the first episode is Chris Keller and Dan Scott in a car Chris Cox's shotgun and says Chris Keller doesn't like this, and they exit.

Speaker 3

The car and I was like, what, you're giving christ a gun?

You know in this season and.

Speaker 5

He's hanging out with Dan?

Speaker 4

What was it?

A loaded gun?

Super funny?

Speaker 3

Yeah, I'm so in.

Speaker 1

He's like, I just ended up feeling if you read the first page that you would be in and I was just like so yeah.

I mean it's I'm tempted to say, like the riverboat stuff where you know, I get a bunch of bunch of crazy people and jump off was fun, but nothing like saving the day with a gun, and you know, going up against the Russian mob that was fun.

Speaker 5

That's so good.

Speaker 6

Hey, how about the well well, well, Katie wants to know with Chris Keller's well, well, well scripted or something that you just added in totally scripted.

Speaker 1

It's funny you say that, because like the first few episodes, I was like, who says this?

How?

There were so many things like that that I was just like at first, and then even like talking about myself in the third person, I was just like, it took me a couple episodes to be like who is this?

Speaker 6

Yeah?

Speaker 1

And then it was so fun and then all of a sudden you switched over and was like, oh my god, this is so fun.

Speaker 5

What's so funny about that?

Speaker 1

Is that?

Speaker 5

To me?

Speaker 6

Anyways, that our creator used to say that in real life all the time, well, well, well, and the fact that he wrote that in for Chris Keller as like, I don't know if what it was supposed to be, but I don't think it was supposed to come across as like slimy as it does.

But that's all it can come across as because that's what it is.

Speaker 1

I started realizing that it was a lot of like cyr no diversion acting or whatever, Like, there was a lot of like kill writing.

Speaker 3

Stuff that I think, oh, yeah, you know, it's very like there's.

Speaker 1

A lot of in there, you know, like and a lot of his humor, I think, and that, well, well.

Speaker 3

It's definitely I was like that.

Speaker 6

I don't know if I'd elevate that to Sirra now, but I can certainly see that.

Speaker 4

I definitely think Chris Keller was a proxy for him.

Yeah, yeah, And so it makes sense that he was writing in some of his own stuff.

But again, it's a testament to you though that that line actually became so endearing and sort of a trademark likable thing, you know, because like the reality of how that line and who was saying that line was was absolutely not charming.

But the fact that like I like it now when I hear the well, well, well it's sort of like the Pavlovs bell, I'm like, oh, here comes some good stuff.

Absolutely, I imagine.

Also because we have Jessa had asked, did you like that Chris Keller spoken the third person?

There's a lot of questions about that.

But I'm wondering because on the page especially, he was such just like a womanizing jerk.

Right, did it help you that you got to speak in the third person, because in a way, it's sort of like you are getting to distance yourself, like it's an extra layer of distance between you and that character.

Did that help at all?

Speaker 3

You know what?

I hate to say it, but it was.

Speaker 1

It became so easy for me to be to be that guy, that cocky.

Speaker 3

I like it.

I don't even think I wanted to be distanced from it.

Speaker 1

Like I there is a part of me that is that is that, or at least thinks that's funny, that doesn't get to do that, And I think there's something about that.

Speaker 3

That is like I feel I have so much fun doing that, I don't even want to be distance from it.

Speaker 1

There was a few times I would be in scenes with Sofia where after we would cut, she'd be like, I hate you so much right now.

Speaker 3

And I got such pleasure.

Speaker 4

Out of that.

Speaker 1

I couldn't was not something I would be like in real life, you know, And I just it was just so fun to get to be that annoying with no repercussions.

Speaker 3

I don't know what.

Speaker 1

I'll figure that out on therapy later, but it was like that was just it's just delicious, you know, And just being the third person was just another example of that where it's like.

Speaker 3

It's so fun.

Speaker 4

Isn't that just sort of a thing I feel like with all actors where we enjoy playing opposites.

So if you are someone who's like you're a very kind you know, maybe a people please or whatever it is, if you're a nice person, to get to really sort of exercise that mean muscle that you have let atrophy for so long feels really good.

It's very fun.

Speaker 3

I love it.

I loved it.

Speaker 1

And I've done more like bad guys assholes than I've done like good guys.

Speaker 3

And I have.

Speaker 1

Way more fun doing that than like being like, wow, you're like a really good guy in that movie.

Speaker 3

Like it's like fun, you know, it's like fun.

Speaker 1

But I also tend to find too that a lot of times, except I mean not always, but a lot of the.

Speaker 3

Guys who are really.

Speaker 1

Big actors for being really charming good guys aren't always you know what I mean.

And I see that get worked out that way too.

You know that it helps to have for them to have a script and a character.

Speaker 4

Yeah, name names Tyler.

Let's jump to Chelsea's obviously we all want to know what it was like working with t Swift.

That's Taylor Swift for those of you who didn't know that.

In my guitar.

Yeah, she's she does the pop music.

Yeah, quite popular to.

Speaker 3

Be a country singer.

Now she's doing some pop music.

Speaker 4

And yeah, used to be a kid.

Now she's a lady.

Speaker 3

M Yeah, she was just she's like a huge one Tree Hill fan.

So that's how it happened.

Speaker 1

She I like I mentioned to her, like I mentioned in some magazine that I liked this new.

Speaker 3

Song she had, uh called Tim McGraw.

Speaker 1

It was her first song, and she happened to see it and was like a big fan of mine, like had watched all these dumb tour videos I'd ever done, Like was a huge like fan, like knew all these deep inside Tyler fans.

Speaker 5

Like a girl with a crush.

That is what that sounds like.

Speaker 3

No, she was full on.

Speaker 1

And she was fifteen and I was like twenty one, so I was so much older, and you know, she was just like and she hit up the magazine her management.

Speaker 3

DA was like, oh my god, she's such a big fan.

Speaker 1

She's playing at this biker bar in sam Bernardino in southern California.

Speaker 3

She loved to invite him to come if he wants to come.

Speaker 1

And I was like, oh okay, like yeah, that's funny, like you know, like.
