There happened to be a marathon going by our hotel.
So my husband and I are standing, watching the marathon.
And.
This very kind, grown man runs out of the marathon and approaches us and tells me how much he enjoys the show.
And.
He says, "I know, I'm not your demographic, but I love.
The show." -He, said, "I know, I'm, not your demographic"? -Yeah.

Here.
When.
I was a student at NYU.
I was a receptionist at a hair, salon, actually., And I'm sitting there at the front desk, and Hugh Jackman.
And his two young kids go by on Razor, scooters., And I --.
It, like, made my day.
But then, all of a sudden.
They circled back in the direction they were coming from.
And they come into the salon.
And.
He asked, "Can.
My daughter use the restroom?" And I think I just blacked out and said, "Yes, absolutely." So.
One of the women takes the daughter to the restroom, and he and I are, I think, making small talk.
I, tell him about NYU and what I'm studying.
And then, when his daughter came back out.
He said, "Thank Brianne and say, hi because she's gonna be a famous actress one day.", -Come, on., Hugh, Jackman., How great is that guy? [ Cheers and applause.
], -Class, act., -That's, a class act., -Yeah.

You audition for this? How.
Did you know about this? -I was in the middle of finals week at university.
I was trying to graduate.
-Wow.
-It was really difficult.
I barely did.
And I, get it in my in-box, the audition.
And I, almost didn't audition for it because I thought I was going to fail out of school.
But I read the script and I really connected to the character in a way that I hadn't before for other roles.
And I knew that if I didn't audition, I would regret it., So, I, did.
And.
Then like a couple weeks after graduating, I was flying back and forth six different times to L.A.
to do chemistry.
Reads.
-So, many times., This, poor, girl., -Too, many times., And, yeah, I.
Clearly do not regret.
It.
It was such a crazy.
Timeline.
I was extremely lucky.
-Life-Changing., -Yeah., -Life-changing.

Well, you're, "Ginny and Georgia".
Now.
So.
This is all that's happening.
Now., -Yeah., -"Ginny and Georgia.".
-That's, it., Congrats., I think that's --.
Now.
--.
Yeah.
But.
Why do you think the show's resonated with so many people and different demographics? -I think there's, really just something for everyone in the show.
-Mm-hmm., -You, know, it's, really, like, hurried and fun.
But it's also, very real.
We have such a diverse group of characters with different experiences.
-Story, lines., -Yeah., And, I think --.
-It touches.
So many subjects., -Yeah., -And, it's, incredibly authentic., -Right., -Yeah., -There's character for everyone to really latch on to, so..
-How.
Do we set it up for anyone who hasn't seen "Ginny and Georgia"? -Ooh! Season 2.
We pick up right where we left off.
Only.
Two weeks have passed.
Ginny, unfortunately, finds out that her stepfather did not die from natural causes.
And that her mother actually murdered him on her behalf, so..
There's, just that elephant in the room.
-Yeah, that's --.
Yeah.
-But Georgia is busy planning a wedding, so we're moving forward and everything's fine.
-Yeah.
There are more important things than to talk about murder.
-Much more important, things., -Than, you being a murderer.
-Yeah., -Yeah, of course., -Yeah, it's, minor., -But, you're, a young, single mom., I.
Guess we can say that, too, Georgia., So.
You guys, play, yeah, mother, daughter, just before the murdering.
