A: Well, I shot 6 episodes for different television shows: “Femme Fatales” and “1000 Ways To Die.” I did a promo for Conan O’Brien which was a lot of fun. A few small things as well, but I’ve mostly been hoping for another Paranormal Entity to come along!

          A: I auditioned. Haha. That was about it.

          A: I want people to know that despite the fact that Femme Fatales in on Cinemax, it is not porn. There are sex scenes, but I wouldn’t classify them as scenes that would be in a “porno.” They are scenes that could be in a rated R movie. So I encourage- people who are not children- to watch it.

          A: It was difficult feeling like I was the frumpy girl! I play a film major, so my character was dressed more relaxed, not as revealing and girlie as the others. It was more “not me” than usual! I felt awkward.

          A: I think when someone on the level I’m at gets a role like this, we just shoot it and hope for the best. I just tried to come in really prepared. My character has the least lines of the lead characters, so I put a lot of preparation into trying to make her a character to remember. I wanted her to be interesting enough that people watching would say “I hope we get to see more of her.” The casting was so dead on, it was fantastic. The characters looked their parts to a tee. I wanted to make sure my performance matched what they already had going for them.

          A: Paranormal Entity.... it was a good learning experience for me. I know more about the money side of the industry now than I did then. Regardless though, if I hadn’t done Paranormal Entity, it’s likely I wouldn’t have gotten a good agent. It’s also likely I wouldn’t get called in for a lot of the roles I’m auditioning for now. It’s pushed me up out of one league and into another because it was so successful.

          A: The Confined was just accepted into the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase and will be showing at the Tivoli in St. Louis, MO. At our last festival we did really well. We won Best Short Film, Nick Acosta won Best Director, and I won Best Actress. Rhett Swanson one of my co-stars was nominated for Best Actor. We’re hoping for a repeat of course, but you never want to hype yourself up for such a thing! Zombies and Assholes premiered a while back, and will make it’s festival circuit premier at the Los Angeles International Shorts Festival. We’ll see what happens!

          A: I’ve worked on more shorts than I can count. Relinquish was my last short film. The actress cast as my sister was fantastic, she was so perfect for the role. It’s so rewarding when you work with other good actors and you don’t have to manufacture emotions that the director wants. When you’re with another good actor, you can feel the emotions between each other. However that person is acting, really makes you feel the way your character actually would feel. During one scene my character wasn’t supposed to cry. I thought it was appropriate but the director said no, so when Jamie started crying in the scene she was so good, I started balling my eyes out! I felt so horrible for her! My character I suppose ended up fighting back tears haha! But it’s a great feeling when someone is so good, you really have a strong reaction to their action.

          A: Nothing. No I’m kidding, I don’t know yet. We’re coming out of pilot season and more and more pilots cast name actors this year. It was nearly impossible to even get seen because they knew who they wanted and went right to the source. Things pick up again around now, and I’m talking with several people about features, but nothing is set in stone.

          A: Oh man, I feel like everyone is going to un-”like” my fan page if I answer this! My hobby is pole dancing. I know, I know, now hold on let me explain! I started pole dancing as training for a role in which I played a stripper. I got free lessons. I got hooked. In the time I was training I lost an inch around my waist. I was thrilled, and now I can’t stop! I’m not into crawling on the floor and dancing sexily, I like to do really hard aeriel moves. It’s makes me feel strong, and powerful.

          My guilty pleasure show right now is probably Dr. G Medical Examiner. I don’t know why, but I’ve become really really interested in how people are dying these days. Yes, I’m actually that strange. She explains everything though: what this injury did to the internal organs to cause the person to die. They go through the whole thing trying to solve the mystery, and find what caused the death. It’s never a clean cut case. I guess I belong in horror movies.

          A: Audition. I’m not scared of much, but all things considered, the title’s been keeping me away. Maybe I’ll take the leap this weekend.

          A: Thanks for asking me for another interview! I look forward to keeping you updated!
