\"Cherish<\/a><\/p>\n

Was there a film that inspired you to get into the movie business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gone With the Wind.\u00a0 I always loved movies growing up.\u00a0 I dreamed of being Scarlett O\u2019Hara, which is so dysfunctional when I think about it now.\u00a0 I loved that she was very strong and had a journey and she didn\u2019t know who she was and she had to discover who she was during the film.\u00a0 I loved the epic scope of it, too, the whole thing.<\/p>\n

Can you tell us a little about the character of Alexandra?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, like Scarlett, she is someone who is a little lost, but unlike Scarlett she found a more self-destructive path. Alexandra has a hard time in LA and lets LA take her down.\u00a0 In her own way she wants to help others succeed but doesn\u2019t realize she\u2019s hurting them.\u00a0 She means well and thinks her advice will help them succeed but doesn\u2019t realize ultimately it will make her fail too.<\/p>\n

How does Alexandra compare to Cherish?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to help people, and I always have good intentions.\u00a0 Alexandra is a bit more broken.\u00a0 It was fun to play her.\u00a0 Alexandra is smart, successful, and goes after what she wants.\u00a0 Plus, she uses all her assets to her advantage.\u00a0 She\u2019s very capable person.<\/p>\n

You have a great monolog in the film \u2013 how did you prepare for it?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

(laughs) That was a long time ago.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 As an actor, you make sure you memorize the material, know what it means, and know how it relates to the other characters.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Did you have a favorite scene to play?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I loved driving the fancy car (the Lotus Elise) \u2013 that was really fun.<\/p>\n

Any fun stories from on the set?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was a scene in the morgue, where I had to lay down on the table, and the headrest that I laid my head on was very uncomfortable.\u00a0 It kept digging into my neck.\u00a0\u00a0 I enjoyed getting that scene over with.<\/p>\n

How do you think Natalie relates to Alexandra?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

I think Alexandra loves Natalie, and they\u2019re kind of the same, at a certain point, but then Natalie chooses another path.\u00a0 They have the same journey I would say.\u00a0 Natalie is just 10 steps behind Alexandra.<\/p>\n

\u00a0What was the scariest moment from the set?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The scariest moment was having to perform the crying scene with everyone around.\u00a0 It\u2019s scary because you have to get into this emotional state, make sure to get the lines right, make sure you don\u2019t mumble, and the clock is ticking.\u00a0 The pressure is on.<\/p>\n

\u00a0What are your favorite horror movies?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

I loved \u201cCabin in the Woods\u201d because of its send-up of reality TV. And the \u201cScream\u201d franchise is really enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Anything else to add?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think the film turned out great, I think we did a great job with it.\u00a0 Everyone involved was nice.\u00a0 It was a very nice set to work on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
