And I suspected maybe 56 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: maybe we'd get you as a killer, but I know 57 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: I'd to say the movie to throw me a little 58 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: bit at certain parts, which we'll talk about, but I 59 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: guess right from the beginning, like you signed on to 60 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: do it, right? 61 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: Did you know that you were a killer?

I think it's known 68 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: that I like when it was announced, Like the very 69 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: first date that I went to a movie theater with 70 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: a boy was the first scream. So I have been 71 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: just like a huge fan. So I get my Zoom meeting, 72 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 3: they don't send me a script, and Kevin is there 73 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 3: and it's on Halloween actually, which I found pretty cool 74 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: and ironic and iconic that it was with Kevin on Halloween. 75 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: And so we can talk about spoilers now, which just 76 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 3: so crazy because I've just been so like uptight not 77 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: saying anything. But yeah. So he's talking to me about 78 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 3: the script and he said, what have your agents told you? 79 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 3: And I was like, nothing, they don't know anything. And 80 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: he gets, Okay, well let me tell you. And he 81 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: starts telling me about this woman in the neighborhood who 82 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: has a son who's kind of weird and a little 83 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 3: freaky and odd and has a crush on basically the 84 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: Sydney Prescott's family and all of it. And he's like 85 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: a big crime junkie, and everyboy thinks that he's like 86 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 3: this weird killer and then he goes, budd he's not. 87 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: It's the mom, and I went, oh, wait what oh? 88 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: And he goes and I want you to play the mom. 89 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 3: And I almost fell out of my chair. Oh my god, 90 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 3: literally fell out of my chair, because I mean, I 91 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 3: would have done anything in the movie, right, Like I 92 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 3: would have been any part of the film. To get 93 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 3: to work with this amazing cast and also Kevin, But 94 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: then to be told that I would be playing Ghostface 95 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 3: was absolutely mind blowing for me as an actor for sure. 96 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: So there was no audition. You were just offer the role. 97 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 3: No audition. That is wild, I know still to this day. 98 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 3: I mean I usually have to fight for things, especially 99 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 3: in the TV space, but knowing that like one of 100 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 3: the craziest roles and on the biggest platform I've ever had, 101 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: I didn't even have to audition. Like, I feel so 102 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 3: grateful that he sees my saw my talent and thought 103 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: that I could kill it. 104 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: Literally, and especially as a fan of the franchise. What 105 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: was it like putting on that ghost Face costume for 106 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: the very first time? 107 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: Oh my god? Really wild. So I remember them telling 108 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 3: me that I had to come in for a fitting 109 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 3: for the robe and the mask and everything, and I'm 110 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 3: just like we shot in Atlanta, you know, and I'm 111 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: like rolling in my sweats and going into this fitting 112 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: and I'm standing there in front of the mirror and 113 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 3: just just sitting there with everything on, looking out of 114 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: the little eyes right, like you're looking out of the 115 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: little eyes and you're seeing yourself in the mirror, but 116 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: you're seeing ghost Face and you're it doesn't quite make sense. 117 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 3: It doesn't feel real in a way. It's a very 118 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 3: just an odd feeling that whole costume on for sure. 119 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: Did you pull any inspiration from previous ghost faces? Did 120 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: you talk to any previous ghost faces get any advice, 121 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: like how. 122 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: Do I play a killer? 123 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: There should be a ghost face support group at this point, 124 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 3: because it is a lot of pressure to play that 125 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: particular character and know that the entire movie is basically 126 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: hinging on that reveal scene. So I didn't get to 127 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 3: talk to anyone, but I did meet Matthew Lillard the 128 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: other day at the premiere, and he was my favorite 129 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: ghost face. I mean, everybody has been so good, but 130 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: he was my ultimately my favorite, and I just remember thinking, 131 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 3: like I really I told him when I met him, 132 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 3: I said, I wanted to do you proud, man, Like 133 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 3: I really wanted to do you proud, And he was 134 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 3: like it was so complimentary, and he was like, you 135 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: blew it away. I called Kevin after I saw a screening. 136 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 3: I told him that you freaking nailed it, and I 137 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: was like, just so thankful to have his support. So yeah, 138 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: I do think there should be a ghost Base support group. 139 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like. 140 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: To talk to all of them and see how they 141 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: felt as well. 142 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's such an iconic moment in all 143 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: of the movies, right, and it's a powerful moment and 144 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: we're all waiting for that moment and. 145 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: It's so cool. 146 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you that they're all great, 147 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: But I think his performance too was great in the original, 148 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: so I'm not surprised that's the one you kind of 149 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: were looking at. 150 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Also, 177 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 3: just like getting interviewed so much beforehand, people knowing that 178 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 3: I was going to be in the movie, like that 179 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: was the question of like are you ghost face or are 180 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: you ghost face? And like, I hate lying to people, 181 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 3: Like I don't like keeping things from people. So it 182 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 3: was actually really, really really hard for me to do that. 183 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: And I'm really glad that it's fine out and we 184 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 3: can talk about it. 185 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 186 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's there's so many great scenes. I mean, 187 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: you go toe to toe with Nev Campbell in the end, 188 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: you two beat the crap. 189 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: Out of each other stab the crap out of Yeah. 190 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: I mean literally you do. And it's it's so good. 191 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: How was working with her and having that moment with 192 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: like the queen of the franchise. 193 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. I can't say enough good things about Nev. 194 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 3: I met her on a day like where I wasn't. 195 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 3: I just came into set and they were shooting I 196 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: think at like the psychiatric hospital, and I was just 197 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: like I had never met her in person. When I 198 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: saw her, I just was like, oh my god, like 199 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 3: icon like, oh, I go on, Nev Campbell. She's so kind, 200 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 3: she's so sweet. We became really good friends. She became 201 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: my rock, you know, while we were shooting, and we 202 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 3: would check in on each other. We'd go get our 203 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: nails done together, you know, we'd go get petticures together. 204 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 3: It was really, really, really fun. And that final scene 205 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: was really towards the end of the shoot. So I 206 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 3: was there for a while shooting those tiny little scenes 207 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 3: at the beginning and just like mentally preparing to get 208 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 3: on set for this like giant scene at the end. 209 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: And so we got to be really close and go 210 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 3: to dinner and just be each other's support system, which 211 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: was really awesome. So I would say she's going to 212 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 3: be a friend for life. 213 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: Did she give you her seal of approval with your 214 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: final performance? 215 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 3: She did? She did? 216 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 2: She? 217 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 3: I mean in between takes, you know, she would come 218 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 3: up to me and just be like, oh my god, 219 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 3: like you're flawless, You're killing it. And obviously the just 220 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 3: the amount of pressure you know that you that scene 221 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 3: just kind of is like building up and building up 222 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 3: in your head. And especially because I, like I had 223 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: to wait around for a long time in Atlanta waiting 224 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: for that scene to finally be on the schedule. I 225 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 3: mean it's like, yeah, she was. She was thrilled. And 226 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: we saw each other the other the premiere and also 227 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: like hugged and it was great. 228 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: And I loved your scene with the other og Courtney Cox. 229 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: It was a little heated, a little spicy, right, a 230 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: little moment with you too. 231 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: That must have been fun. 232 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: It was super fun. I was really happy like that 233 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: I got to have any scenes with her, obviously because 234 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 3: I mean it's Courtney Cox. Gale weathers Ye. So yeah, 235 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 3: I think that was the first scene that I shot 236 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 3: actually was that night. Yeah, and you never met her, 237 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: never met her? Oh my god, No, but it was great. 238 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 3: I loved I loved it. It was so fun. 239 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 2: That's that was another good one. 240 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 3: And she's so good in the movie. One liners and 241 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: everything that she gets to say is incredible. And her 242 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 3: entrance too, Her entrance got cheers, right, yeah, standing. 243 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: Ovation in my Oh it did. 244 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's so cool. 245 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: I love that, so good, it was so good. I 246 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: let's talk about your motive for a moment. Sure, okay, 247 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: there's a lot. I need to see it again. I 248 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: feel like because there's a lot there, like, there's a 249 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: lot there that you can really dissect. Would you say, 250 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: if I were to like dumb it all down, would 251 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: you agree with the statement that your character represented in 252 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: some way fans that were angry Nev Campbell Sydney didn't 253 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: it come back for the last movie because they formed 254 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: this deep attachment to her and felt like they were 255 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: owed that, and when she didn't, your character kind of snapped. 256 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: Would you Is that one analysis? 257 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: I think that's I think that could be. Yeah, definitely, 258 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 3: I did not think of it that way at all, 259 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: but I think now that you're saying it out loud, 260 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 3: it could be. I played it just as who Jessica was, 261 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 3: as a person and kind of like as an actor, 262 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: I have to fill like what it means for the 263 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 3: person to be, you know, obsessed with Sidney Prescott. But 264 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 3: I think if like narratively, if you're looking at it 265 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 3: that way, you could definitely say that about the character. 266 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: But I played it as just a person who was 267 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: like like absolutely obsessed, and I even played it as 268 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 3: if I was in love with her, and it didn't 269 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 3: quite like the diet, like maybe the lines weren't there. 270 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 3: But I had to come into that scene with it 271 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 3: so emotionally filled with things that I had to create 272 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: on my own because there was really nothing there in 273 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 3: the script for me to draw, right, So it's like 274 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 3: that scene had to be so I had to come 275 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: up with backstory. I had to come up with why 276 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 3: I loved her, why I was obsessed with her. And 277 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: this is all on my own in my hotel room, 278 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 3: because the scenes beforehand didn't do anything, didn't inform the 279 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 3: character at all, really, And I even remember reading the script. 280 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 3: They made me go into an office building and Beverly 281 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 3: Hills to read it in a closed room like by myself, 282 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 3: and I remember one of the producers came out and 283 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: he just said you know, I kind of want to 284 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 3: know what you think. And there were less scenes that 285 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 3: you saw in the movie in the in the script draft, 286 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: and I remember saying, so, I'm going to put my 287 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 3: producer hat on here. I'm not an actor who wants 288 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 3: more to do as a producer. You need to add 289 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: something because right now this character is just coming in 290 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 3: and being a mom. And then I didn't show up 291 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 3: until the very last scene, and so I said, I 292 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 3: think she needs one more scene. And the scene that 293 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: they ended up adding was just the scene with Courtney 294 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: in front of the house. 295 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: Wow. 296 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: And it wasn't necessarily what I had pictured, right, Like, 297 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: I was hoping for some sort of scene that gave 298 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 3: a little more backstory for my character, a little more depth, 299 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 3: a little more coloring as to like how she felt 300 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 3: about her son, how she felt about anything, you know, 301 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 3: truly really. But you know, at the end of the day, 302 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 3: like I couldn't keep pressing them to change the script 303 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 3: because I wasn't a producer on the film. I was 304 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 3: an actor that they hired, and so at that point 305 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 3: I just had to start justifying things and filling things 306 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: in on my own in order to make that scene resonate. 307 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: And feel like the scene needed to feel wow. 308 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: So so that's pretty cool though that you did have 309 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: the input of, Hey, I think we need at least 310 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: one more scene, and even though it's not the scene 311 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: you imagined, they listened. 312 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 3: They did listen, which was really nice. And I also 313 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: added the line in the end about me not liking 314 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 3: my son, so that wasn't in the script when I 315 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 3: say he was too much like his father. He had 316 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 3: to go, he had to die. I didn't mention my 317 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 3: son at all in the draft that I read in 318 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 3: that scene, and I was like, we have to address 319 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 3: the fact that my son Lucas is now dead, like 320 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 3: I have to have a line about it. So they 321 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 3: listen to me there too, which is great. But I did. 322 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: I think I learned an even more valuable lesson is 323 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 3: to like, I have to keep fighting, you know, for 324 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 3: for these scenes that are ultimately going to make the 325 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 3: movie better as a whole in the end. But I 326 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 3: tried my. 327 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: Best good on them and the creative team for listening, right, Yeah, 328 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: not everyone would a lot of people think they always 329 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: know best, and the best thing you can create the 330 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: best art, in my opinion, is collaborative. Absolutely it is, 331 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: and like I wrote a rom com that I'm trying 332 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: to get made right now.

Oh good, this feels 358 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: a little bit more than just a fixation or obsession. 359 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 3: It was, it was like that. And then it's like 360 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: if if she couldn't have her, Like if I could 361 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: have had another little tiny chunk in that scene, it 362 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: would it would have been about me being like so 363 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 3: obsessed that I was in love with her.

And that's yeah, 396 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: that's the testament to the work you did. It's like 397 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: we want more, we want more questions answered, like. 398 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 3: Well, that's good. I always want you to.

There was a tiny 405 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 3: in the theater if you remember the theater scene where 406 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: we're all getting like questioned by the police and we're 407 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 3: sitting there with the parents. There were little tiny things 408 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 3: that were cut from I think almost everybody's dialogue there. 409 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 3: But that's it, Okay, nothing else was cut. 410 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 2: Wow, No, like you said, you added, I had. 411 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 3: To add and I wish there was just a little 412 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 3: tiny bit more backstory for my character. 413 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, do you figure out in your own mind or 414 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: are you told what kills are your characters? 415 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, I've I'm not told that. I I 416 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 3: definitely think that I did the kill for McKenna Grace's character. 417 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 3: I think one of the easier, one of the easier 418 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 3: ones for my character too, because you know, she's obviously 419 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 3: like on the thing in the theater and she's like 420 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 3: basically strung up, and you know, ghost Face is just 421 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 3: kind of slicing her. So and I thought that that 422 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 3: kill was so creatively done too, and shot so beautifully, 423 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 3: and McKenna was so fantastic and so talented, and what 424 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 3: a horrible thing, right if you put yourself in her shoes, 425 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 3: just like, what a terrible way to go. But I 426 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 3: think that that was probably one of the kills that 427 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 3: I did. And then I'm not sure about in the 428 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 3: in the final sort of act where Lucas my son 429 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 3: gets killed, and then the other ghost face is chasing Tatum, 430 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 3: and then the two ghost faces come together. I mean, 431 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 3: my god, liked did I kill my own son? 432 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. 433 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. I guess maybe. 434 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 2: I can't imagine you put. 435 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 3: Him on the on the beer. I couldn't lift him, right, Yeah, 436 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: I know. But then in the final reveal, I think 437 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 3: something that Ethan Embrey's character says is like that he 438 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: got shot with the bulletproof vest. So I'm hoping I 439 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 3: don't I don't know. I'm going to leave that up 440 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 3: to the audience to decide which one is which fair enough? 441 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: Fair enough? 442 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean, even sitting here talking about you as ghost Face, 443 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: it's such a moment in pop culture history that, oh 444 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: my god, ever like cemented in like you're in that 445 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: franchise now as this, and you alluded earlier to the 446 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: pressures of it, right, Like did you feel that filming it? 447 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: Do you push that aside? Do you feel that after? 448 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: Like? How do you manage that? 449 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 3: It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions for sure. When I'm 450 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: on set, I mean just going back to like when 451 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 3: I put on the mask and the fitting, like it's 452 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 3: a different thing when I'm behind this like fake fence 453 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 3: on a sound stage and they're pumping fog in and 454 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 3: I can see Nev Campbell, you know, in her backyard, 455 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 3: and like I'm coming through and I have the hood 456 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 3: on and I'm waiting to walk through this fence and 457 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 3: there's cameras everywhere and lights everywhere.

They can be mad, they can be joyful, 667 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 3: whatever it may be, but I want them to feel something. 668 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 3: So that's ultimately why I still want to continue to 669 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 3: be an actor. 670 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,439 Speaker 2: We are very lucky to have your art in this world. 671 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: You deliver such great performances time and time again, and 672 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: it's cool to feel like from an outside perspective, you're 673 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: in a really good place professionally. You seem very happy. Personally. 674 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: We see glimpses of your love life on social media 675 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: with Jade, and you seem so fulfilled and happy in 676 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: that department. How has love for you evolved in this 677 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: chapter of your life? 678 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 2: Like, what's what's been the most exciting thing about it? 679 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, just the word evolved, right, Like just 680 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 3: you using that word. It's like you think you think 681 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 3: you've got it made one way, or you think you 682 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 3: know yourself and you think you've got this idea of 683 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 3: who you are and that's how your life is going 684 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 3: to go. And that's happened to me several times in 685 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 3: my life where I thought that I knew what was happening, 686 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 3: and it could have stopped in that way, I could 687 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 3: have settled. I could have said, no, I'm done evolving. 688 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 3: This is what I've been taught in my life. This 689 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 3: is the way that I've been kind of domesticated in 690 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 3: a way and taught to believe certain things about what 691 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 3: it means to be a woman and what it means 692 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,240 Speaker 3: to be from the South and stay in your lane 693 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 3: and all of that kind of thing. To continue to 694 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 3: evolve as a person means that your partners can either 695 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 3: evolve with you or not. And I find myself really 696 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 3: having a major evolution in my forties and not being 697 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 3: afraid of it. I mean, sure, there are times that 698 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 3: I feel like, oh God, like I'm taking a risk. 699 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 3: I'm this is scary, I'm doing it in a public forum. 700 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 3: But to say no, I only get one life, and 701 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 3: I want to be happy and I want to learn 702 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 3: the most about myself that I can. That's what life 703 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 3: is all about, right, is to continue to evolve and 704 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 3: to learn. 705 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: So the way you light up talking about this chapter 706 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 1: of your life is really cool to see you genuinely 707 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: seem happy. 708 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 3: Thank you. I feel like I'm figuring out who I 709 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,359 Speaker 3: am for the first time instead of who was acceptable 710 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 3: for other people in my life. Like I was put 711 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 3: into a box early on, and I was told to 712 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 3: stay in that lane because that was acceptable and I 713 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 3: would be rewarded for that, and then all the while knowing, 714 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 3: this isn't me, this isn't me. I'm much more than 715 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 3: this label or this specific type of person. Like I 716 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 3: got to like break out of that, and it just 717 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 3: happened for me that I'm breaking out of that, and 718 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 3: I just feel like I'm finding my footing and my 719 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 3: wings as a person. You know, is it scary? It is? 720 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 3: It is. It's definitely scary, especially you know for me 721 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 3: growing up in the South. I'm from South Carolina. There's 722 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 3: certain things that in standards, you know that you're taught 723 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 3: growing up, you know, like I went to Katillian. I 724 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 3: taught Katillian for a while all about good manners, and 725 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 3: we were learning like what forks to use and like 726 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 3: how a boy was supposed to ask you out and 727 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 3: do all these things. And yeah, it's been scary. But 728 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 3: my family has been very supportive of me. My friends 729 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 3: have been very supportive. But there was a time where 730 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 3: I was like when I had to like come out 731 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 3: to my parents that I was like, I just don't 732 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 3: want them to think I'm weird. I just don't want 733 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 3: anyone to think that I'm weird or something because I 734 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 3: don't feel weird. This doesn't feel weird, feels true, right 735 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 3: and right and should be normalized. But yeah, I've never 736 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 3: I was so terrified to come out to my family. 737 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 2: Wow.
