Model and Actress, Ava Allan reached a big high in her career this year when she got her own character on the last season (EVER) of Pretty Little Liars. The character was a sassy mean girl named Alison.
June 27th was the last PLL episode EVER! Crazy right? What was the last day of shooting like on set?
Being a part of the last episode ever for Pretty Little Liars was so surreal! The table read was very emotional for the cast and crew... lots of tissues were being passed around. It was a bittersweet moment. My last day on set was again, very bittersweet! I watched the show since I was 10, so even from a "fan" point of view I was sad to know it was ending. I was also really excited for everyone to see the finale though, because Marlene King did a kick ass job of directing and writing the finale episode!
Do you think you and your character have anything in common?
No! Haha. Addison is a mean girl and lies and creates drama. She's definitely someone I am not! But that's why she was incredibly fun to play.
What will you miss most about playing on PLL?
The funny lines I got from the writers...! Addison was such a feisty, sassy character and Oliver Goldstick did a great job at making her come to life in the first episode she appeared in.
What kind of character is your favorite to play?
All different characters! It's hard to
just choose one... I love anything with depth. I like a challenge. I would say drama is definitely my favorite.
How do you prepare before getting on camera?
I just get into my character. I let the makeup, hair and wardrobe departments take of the rest.
You and your sister recently posted a new video together on YouTube. Why is it important to have someone close like that in this business?
It's the best because we understand each other. The excitement, the busy schedules, the endless amount of hard work, the dedication, the rejection, the love and passion for our careers- we share and understand it all. I'm really thankful that I'm so close with my sister.
Summer is coming to an end and fall is slowly approaching. What is your favorite fall essentials?
Big baggy sweaters, ankle boots, dark nail polish and lipstick. Also lattes (coffee is my thing year round though) (;
