I am (use a max. of 3 words to describe yourself)… Eclectic, Honest and Learning.
Acting is… truth and freedom.
My last acting gig taught me… how to really deal with what's right in front of us.
Proudest performance moment… Anytime I have that moment in the work when all the prep just falls away and I truly exist in the character.
Most embarrassing audition… A couple years ago when I first started auditioning, I walked into a room *thinking* I was off book- they asked me if I wanted to hold the sides, which I proudly declined, only to go completely up on my lines and ask for the sides after two takes...Big yikes.
Most challenging part… Queen Margaret in Henry VI...I still don't understand that woman.
The moment I knew I wanted to be an actor… Cliche as it is, I truly think I just arrived into this world wanting to be an actor! I can never really remember an Aha! moment- it just always felt like a part of me.
Dying to work with… Christopher Nolan.
Was born to play… a crazy ass witch, aka myself.
Learn lines by… repetition, repetition, repetition.
Get into character by… creating character playlists and daydreaming.
Special skill I wouldn't put on my resume… My ability to find out anything about anyone on the internet. Big yikes, part two.
Movie I can’t stop talking about… The Conjuring
Top three shows in my queue… Julie and the Phantoms (so cute!), The Vampire Diaries (for the 10th time) and HBO's Succession
Currently reading… The Education of Little Tree
Car karaoke tune… We Are Never Getting Back Together by my girl, TSwift
If I weren't an actor, I'd be… a florist.
Stranger Things character that best represents me… Steve, definitely Steve.
If they made a movie about my life, I’d be played by… Zach Galifianakis.
Actor crush… Brad Freakin' Pitt
Sign… Aquarius and proud!
If I were a color, I'd be… Lilac.
Hotel alias… Gracie Lou Freebush
LA spot that inspires or relaxes me… Beachwood Cafe. The perfect spot that is both here and there- entirely transient yet stable. It still has that Hollywood magic about it.
The best advice I ever got… Your art should tell on you.
