Gilmore Girls’ Lauren Graham reunites with Scott Patterson on the red carpet for the first time in 9 years
Scott Patterson’s next assignment, should he choose to accept it? Keep a straight face.
The Gilmore Girls star has nothing but admiration for the show’s “iconoclastic irreverence,” but the actor who brought Luke Danes to life had one joke he struggled to get across.
“I’m a Tom Cruise fan, so why aren’t you?” Scott prefaced in an exclusive interview with E Magazine. news. “But Luke had a line. Kirk came in and I said to him, ‘There’s no place to sit. Everything’s been taken away.'” He says, “If I were Tom Cruise, where would you go, where would you sit?” And my answer was, ‘Acting class.’ ”
Scott emphasized that he doesn’t believe in feelings on a personal level, saying it was “hard to say,” but admitted he “thought it was very strange.”
“That’s one of the things that makes you fall in love with the show,” the 67-year-old continued. “I think we’re all tired of everyone pandering to everyone. Here’s a show that’s smart and really funny and irreverent and heartfelt and set in a small town. And it’s really great. It’s a lot of fun to watch.”
