What's happening, guys? I'm Molly Argu on the Young Hollywood couch with Kyle Harris. What's happening? You know a thing or two about diving into memories.
Just a little bit.
You're kind of an expert.
Oh. A little bit. I double. A little bit.
So for those that might not know what stitching is.
Yes, stitching is uh going into the minds of the recently deceased to uncover their final moments before they were killed. And uh then we take those clues to the streets and we catch the bad guys.
Luckily you are here in the flesh and we're going to do a a sort of stitching game. Okay. We're calling this stitching into the mind of Kyle Harris.
Ooh.
So I have a few prompts. And if you could just briefly tell us your first memory or whatever comes back to your mind. Okay. Uh when I mention these prompts, are you ready?
Yeah, ready.
Okay. What is your first memory of embarrassing yourself in an audition?
Easy. I was auditioning for the Broadway revival of Hair. And at the time my hair was
And you have great hair.
Thank you. It was even bigger then. And I was at the audition and the casting director was like, Kyle, you you have a tail. And I was like, I don't have a rat tail. What are you talking about? This is an afro. And I looked down and he's talking about the massive strip of toilet paper. No. Hanging off the side of my pants to which I just crumple up into a ball. Try to throw into the trash can, completely miss and I'm like, well, that's why I do theater. I didn't get that job. But that was a scarring scarring audition, yeah.
That's amazing. Okay, so what is your first memory of your impression of co-star Emma Ishida?
I was like, yeah, this this will be cool. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she's like, she's stunning. Like how do you like I literally we I roll up into the van and she's sitting then then she stood up and I said And she stands up and she's so tall. She's so tall. And then I'm like, she's got to be a model. And she's definitely a model. And then I was like, oh but can she act? And then she can act. So I was like, this is great. It's been great. Not to say that models can't, but yeah, you asked me.
Right. She's the full package.
She's the full package, yeah.
Your first memory of the first big rule that you broke.
Big rule. I I was in the back of a cop car once in high school for water ballooning cuz that was what we did in the suburbs. It was like water balloon cars as they drove by and I was like
And they let him touch you?
Well, so I was in the median and I had a water balloon and not just a water balloon but like a launcher and like balloon like we were like the nerdiest bad kids of like the Irvine suburbs and like we're in the median and we're like going to like throw at this car and then he goes like whoo. And he like shines the lights on us and we're like, drop the balloons. It's the cops and like then we get in the back of the cop car and I'm like, this is terrible. And then as we're driving, he stops these kids that are teepeing a house. And he's like, I'm going to pull these kids over. You guys can walk the rest of the way home from here. And so like that was like the you know, the tough streets I grew up on in Irvine. So that was
That was a close call. But did you ever do it again?
No. I served my time in the back of that car.
Learned your lesson. All right. And what about your first memory of your first kiss?
Oh my gosh. I remember. I was in sixth grade and I was on a boat. It was like to Catalina. And I remember like we're on the back of the boat. Sixth grade. I kissed her and she was like, oh yeah. And I immediately threw up over the railing from being seasick and so nervous. And then she was just like patting my back and I'm just like, this is never going to work.
Was this like all in a row or was there like some space in between?
like this is basically me in a nutshell. This is like the romantic moment then then and then yeah, that was me.
That actually is the craziest first kiss story that I've ever heard. Yeah. We'll leave everybody feeling smitten and um humorous with with that one. Yeah.
