Your upcoming movie A Grim Becoming
- in a few words, what is
it about, and what can you tell us about your character?
My character sets the tone for who Death is/has become. She helps the
audience to fully understand and embrace the Death character. She has been
friends with Death since the beginning of time, and as much as they
disagree with each other they need each other to survive. Playing
"Life" as such ... how do you even prepare for such a role, and
what did you draw upon to bring your character to life? I
really focused on the playful relationship that my character Life had with
the character Death (played wonderfully by Mike Sciabarrasi [Michael
Sciabarrasi interview - click here]). I
built the character from that point and really just had fun with it. Mike
played the character so brilliantly - it was a lot of fun working opposite
him! How
did you get involved with the project in the first place? I
had heard so many great things about the director Adam Steigert's first
film Ombis (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2224383/)
[Adam Steigert interview -

so I added him on Facebook and stalked his every move. True story. Luckily
for me he was familiar with my work so when he was casting next he reached
out to me and I quickly accepted the role! What
can you tell us about your director Adam R. Steigert, and what was your
collaboration like?

Besides that I stalked him to get
hired? Lets see, he's got these wonderful ideas and is such a hard worker.
Hes very passionate about his projects, and very connected to those that
he works with. He's definitely smarter than the average bear and really
understands all aspects of the film making process. Working with Adam was
great - he allows actors to really find there character and then adjusts
as necessary. What can you tell us about A Grim Becoming's brand of humour, how easy was it to adapt to it, and since
we're at it, what can you tell us about your own sense of humour?
I
actually love the humor in the film, its very dark which is similar to my
own. It's that humor that effects you on multiple levels, really
intelligent and witty. I know my horror fans are really going to
appreciate it! Do
talk about the actual shoot and the on-set atmosphere for a bit! Working
on this set was like joining a HUGE, close knit family for their Christmas
feast. They have a large, wonderfully talented cast and crew and
everyone was so thrilled to be working, and for most of them it was their
weekend! They were some of the kindest and most genuine people that I have
met in a long time. Not only did I have a blast "working" but I
made some lifelong friends, and people that I can not wait to work with
again :)
Any
future projects beyond A Grim Becoming
you'd like to talk about? Yes
please! My directorial debut Truth or Dare
has started its festival run
and is getting a great reaction from audiences. It's a graphic, violent
torture film :) I act in it too! I am so honored to have won BEST FEATURE
FILM at the Arizona Underground Film Festival. I am looking forward to
more screenings!
