with a cool group of young actors all in this location and I thought it was a blast !
How did you get involved in acting ? My mom gave me my first acting role as “ orange tree # 2 ” in her first grade production . Word on the street … I was a very believable tree . A star was born !
How do you feeling acting has changed your life and what does acting mean to you ? I think acting has shown me so many other creative outlets that I needed to explore . When I was young , it was acting or nothing . I just had my eye on that prize and that prize only . But over time , being on sets , being out of work , it all has moved me into other directions . When I was pregnant with my son , I couldn ’ t audition much . But I couldn ’ t just sit around eating my weight in Hershey ’ s Kisses ( although that was very appealing ) so I began writing again . All of a sudden I found myself pitching a series to NBC . I found the creative process of writing a show so much more fulfilling than the grind of auditioning . I love to act , don ’ t get me wrong , but with writing I have the creative freedom to make my own universe . A world where I can express whatever I find amusing or ridiculous or terrible . I love that freedom . And if you ’ re an actor , it can start to feel like you ’ re a hired gun . You ’ re hired as a guest-star for a week , and you ’ re expected to do what is written and fit into the show seamlessly . You ’ re beyond excited to work . You feel blessed to be on a set with bright , creative minds , but you don ’ t necessarily feel like you ’ re stretching your muscles and reaching your potential . So I guess acting has changed my life by showing me that it ’ s the creativity I crave . It doesn ’ t necessarily have to come this singular dream .
What ’ s your advice to your fans who wish to follow the same path in becoming an actor / actress like you ? I always think getting into a good class with actors who are way better than you is top of the list . If you ’ re the best one in the class , find a new class . There ’ s never a diploma for acting . You ’ re always learning , always growing and getting better . You need a space where you can do that , and if you ’ re at the top you might be inspiring others but who ’ s inspiring and challenging you ? Also , if you ’ re in LA pursuing acting , get a car that you love . I don ’ t care what kind of car . But you will be spending what feels like your entire life in that car . Make it a good one .
Do you have any other big projects coming up next ? Season 2 of Cobra Kai !
