Many of you may know Scott Patterson from Gilmore Girls. It was one of my favorite shows growing up. I can still remember watching this show with my sisters and mother. It was an all time favorite of ours. His character on the show was Luke Danes, and personally he was one of my favorite characters on the show. He was the owner of “Luke’s Diner” in Stars Hollow. He was always well-known for his coffee on the show. The show did end up coming to and end, but Scott actually now owns his own coffee line! It’s called Scotty P’s Big Mug Coffee.
For those of you who enjoy having a cup of coffee, you must give Scotty P’s Big Mug Coffee a try if you haven’t yet. It’s amazing! Certainly a must try for all! He’s got a few different kinds of coffee to choose from too. I love that they even sell coffee mugs!
I was also lucky enough to do an interview to catch up with Scott.
Interview:
Having a regular job on a TV series is a double-edged sword; on the one hand you have steady work at a high rate of compensation and a chance to get global exposure. You also get to form relationships with the studio and network people and that, for me, was the best part. I took away a lot of great friendships that thrive to this day. On the other hand it gets to be a bit of a grind with the “rinse/repeat” nature of series television so the challenge is to keep it real and fresh in an acting sense as regards your approach to the work. That’s key. A lot of actors vanish from the scene after a long run on a tv series because they are suffering from burn out and need a break. I did two more series after GG that each lasted one year so I did nine consecutive years of series tv, about 200 episodes. That’s a lot, and in 2011 I was exhausted. Acting is hard and it requires a very high level of concentration, 14-18 hours a day. During filming you never feel like you can get enough rest or get ahead of the work in terms of preparation because the scripts come in last-minute. Very high stress situation so you had better have a work ethic or you will get buried.

It’s an amazing show! One of my favorites growing up.
This is so awesome! Luke now REALLY has his own coffee! That is super cool. I have to give this a try.
Right! I thought that was so awesome too.
I had no idea he had his own coffee! Sounds like it would be worth a try. I think my wife would really be interested in this too. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Yes, you’re welcome!
I definitely think I need to try this coffee. Are used to love that show and he was one of the reasons why. I love the idea of being able to get coffee at a decent price.
Right, I love it!
What an insightful interview! I never thought about all the work it takes to be on a series. I have a new respect those actors and actresses.
Right! It’s crazy to think of all the work put in to it.
That’s cool – actor makes coffee. I love coffee, but I haven’t heard of him.
Right! It’s awesome.
How cool! I loveeee that show! I actually binged it a year or so ago and fell in love.
Right! It is such a great show.
Wow, I love how candid he was about the truths of acting. Too many people try to sugar coat things. He was really honest–loved him in Gilmore Girls!
Exactly! I loved that as well.
I am a big fan of The Gilmour Girls! That’s great that Scott/Luke has his own coffee brand.
Me too!
I would love to try this line of coffee. I could drink coffee all day long.
Great to hear. I’m sure you’ll love it!

Omg I love him! I knew he had a coffee line but didn’t know a lot about it. Gonna have to go buy some for sure!
Right! It’s awesome that he came out with a line of his own.
I am always looking for a new coffee to try. I just love the new flavor of a different coffee. I will be giving this one a try for sure.
Awesome. I’m glad to hear it. I hope you enjoy it!
I have a friend who would go nuts over this! I had no idea he had his own line of coffee!
Right! It’s amazing.
Now this is a brilliant marketing move! I know a few hard-core girlmore girls fans that would go crazy over his coffee. I know what I am getting them for Christmas!
