<v Speaker 1>there you go, there we go. It's better. Welcome Caitlin

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to the podcast. Thank you so much for being here today.

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for asking me. It's been a long time.

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe how many years it's been. We talked

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>about this quite a bit on the show. It's been

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>seven years since we did the first season of the show.

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, seven years. That's insane. Yeah, it's astounding

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>how much it just has done. Enough far we've come

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and everything, and yet you know, the Shadow film is

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>still going strong, so we wanted to. We couldn't obviously

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>complete a season one Rewatch Slash Deep Dive without the

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:25.839
<v Speaker 1>one and only Camille. Oh. So, first of all, how

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>are you. How's life? How's the family good? So I'm great.

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I now have two kids, which is crazy because when

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I first started Shadow Hunters, I didn't have any. Yeah,

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, they're good. They're like I guess it makes

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>sense because Avery is turning six this year and then

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>my little one is two a half. So yeah, I

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>brought Avery to set five weeks after I gave birth

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>to her to shoot Shadow Hunters season two. Yeah, that

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>little one was on set at like five weeks old,

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a little shadow Hunter baby. That's cute, That's really cool.

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>That's something that's amazing about the show is, you know,

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>looking back and seeing how how everyone's personalized have changed

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>to you know, the all the kids and marriages and

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>houses and everything that eat. Right after shadow Unters, people

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.959
<v Speaker 1>just started pumping out babies like left frind centers. Yeah,

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>how are you guys doing? What's you know, what's new?

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 1>We're good. No kids as far as I know, no

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>children as yet. Dogs and cats and that's what we're

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>good with. But we're good. Yeah, Caitlin, why don't we

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>start with sort of everyone? I've been sort of asking

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>everyone to start in the same way. But tell us

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and tell the fans listening your baby steps, tell us

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 1>how you how you got started with acting, how like

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 1>where this world drew you in, what you found cool

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>about it? You know, just give us a little a

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:03.119
<v Speaker 1>little Caitlin, what of this crazy industry? This crazy industry?

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.079
<v Speaker 1>So um, I originally wanted to be like a runway model,

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>and that was like my dream or like Beyond Billboards,

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and so I got an agent when I was young,

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and they were like, listen, you're never going to be

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a runaway model. You're way too short. And I was like, uh,

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>my dreams are crushed and try acting. I was like,

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't sure. I don't think you're too sure, are you. Yeah,

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm five four, I mean I feel now, Yeah, I

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>feel like Camille. I think was just like a bigger presence.

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>But I'm a little I'm five four, And so they're like,

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you're never gonna be run away. Yeah, I know. So

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>they kind of they put me in acting classes. And

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>then I got an agent and I started auditioning for shows,

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and I booked a couple of things here and there,

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>but um, you know, I went through university. I did

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of print or of high school, I did

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of print modeling, and then I stayed in

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Toronto to the university, and um, I really wanted to

0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>get my degree before I decided to do anything. So

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I got a degree in psychology and then I booked

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a movie like my first lead at the same time.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>So I filmed it, came back, graduated, and then I

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 1>decided it was just like the industry kind of was like, yeah, nope,

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you're going to do this, and then I kind of

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>put all my eggs in that basket and went went

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 1>with it. And um, I've been, you know, really lucky

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that I can still do what I love and I've

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 1>been in the industry for a long time. And it

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>is a crazy industry, that's for sure, but uh yeah,

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I wouldn't do anything else. Oh that's amazing.

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>So tell us a little bit why you chose psychology

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.799
<v Speaker 1>and what what was sort of behind that. I'm always

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>curious is to you know, why people study what they do.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 1>I originally wanted to be like a like an operational nurse,

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 1>and my mom was like, that's never gonna work for you,

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Like you're not going to be like that person, and

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not, and I'm she was so rum But I

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>think when nursing, like when I did my first year,

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 1>I had to do psychology, and I just fell in

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>love with it. I feel like most people that's how

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>they kind of get into They took a site course

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>and then they're like this is so interesting and then

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>there's so much more. So, um, yeah, I wanted to

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>go into like do therapy for people help. I just

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>want to help people, and I really found psychology super

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>interesting and relatable to everyone and everything. So I ran

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.559
<v Speaker 1>a pet therapy program at the Center for Addiction Mental

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Health here in Toronto for while I was finishing university. Yeah,

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted to work there. That's why. Like, I

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>ran this program with my family dog and she was

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>amazing and I learned so much more there than I

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>did in school, because you're like, just like acting. It's

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 1>like you can take a million classes, but until you

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>get on set, that's when you really learned, right, Um,

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>And so I wanted to work at cam ATE, which

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>is set of Tradition mental health, and then I booked

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>a movie and realized that this is what I want

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 1>to do. So yeah, that's really cool. Yeah. Pet therapy

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>is therapy with pets, right, yeah, therapy for pets. Like

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.599
<v Speaker 1>it's an addiculous thing. I lived in l a for

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>like six years, and we bumped into this person who

0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>was a pet not mystic, Like, um, what are they

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.599
<v Speaker 1>called the people you go to talk? Yeah, no, but

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of, but they like read who are the psychic? Psychic?

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm thinking, Thank you very much. It was

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a pet psychic, and they would like, you want to

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>talk to your dead dog because we can do it here.

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, wow, okay, I don't. I don't

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>think because I couldn't talk to him when he was alive.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know what you're gonna offer me, Like

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you also translator, this is the weird, weird things. You

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>say it like it's a crazy thing, like therapy for pets.

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I think you're right in l A. There's

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>a world for it. I think so too. You're absolutely

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 1>right crazy. I'm glad it wasn't that. I'm glad it

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>was therapy with pets. I think that might be more

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>beneficial around. Yes, I think so. So talk to us

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about your journey with shadow Hunters. So

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you've been the industry for a while, you're working in Toronto,

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you're working probably all over Canada. I can only sue,

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.279
<v Speaker 1>and this comes across your proverbial desk. What were your

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>first impressions of Camille? What was your sort of did

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you know of the book series? What was your journey

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>into into our world? So I was obsessed with vampires.

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it was. I was just like

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the most obsessed with vampires really, you know they were. Yeah,

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>it was so weird, like before Shadow Hunters. Um. I

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>just loved the vampires, like I want to be a

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>vampire like in real life. I was just like, I

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>thought they were so cool. I don't know, maybe like

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>which ones, you know, because because vampires went all the

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>way from like No s Ferrato in the in the

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>twenties through like Blade Buffy, Like which generation vampires? Yeah,

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel like so Buffy. I was always that that's

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>like definitely my generation growing up. And then of course,

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>like the Twilight thing blew up and everyone was a vampire, werewolf, vampire,

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>were world. I just like loved it. I thought it

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>would be really cool to play a vampire, I think

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 1>more so than anything. And so when I cut the

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 1>audition for Camille, I was like, oh my god, this

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>would be my dream come true. Um. I just thought

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 1>she was such a good character. I didn't know anything

0:07:55.880 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>about the books prior to going into even audition for it. Um,

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>but I booked it the next day, and honestly, it

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>was it was insane. I mean, I'm sure you guys

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 1>all liked it right away. Yeah. I had auditioned for

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>a couple of things before that, Um oh this happened.

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I think I helped you. Auditions. Yeah, I auditioned for

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Izzy first, and then they wanted me to audition for DOT,

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 1>but I was in Bali, so I couldn't. Then I

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>came back and Camille came and I was so happy

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>because I was like, this is the one I would

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>really want to do. And then I found out the

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>next day and then it was just crazy. It was

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 1>like it was just like really overwhelming and crazy, and

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>then fans and everything, so it was a whirlwind. But um,

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>then I got down to research because I soon found

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>out that I don't look anything like Camille does in

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.679
<v Speaker 1>the books, which was a problem for people at the beginning.

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>As it always is, you have to give act as

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to prove themselves. It's really important and it's

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>important that like we give people chances, like this is

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 1>our industry, this is what we do. There's this new

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>one going around that people have pissed that Amelia Clark

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>isn't blonde. The show is about dragons. I know, I

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>know she's Alia Clark. I guess it's like when people

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>are so invested in the book and like as you know,

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 1>when you read a book, you you're watching it in

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>your head, right, So they get it's so invested with

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>these characters. And then when I pop up as Camille,

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 1>who was like you know she was She's such a

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 1>badass character, They're like, that's not which I pictured her

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to look like. So, you know, I had some hate

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.319
<v Speaker 1>and then I had some luve, and I just felt like, Okay,

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I need to really figure out who Camille is. So

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I did a lot of research, read research everything because

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, I'm not I don't look like her,

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>but I need to beat her and just to like

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 1>give the fans with you wanted because I get that,

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I get their like disappointment. Although I was really hoping

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>to rock a blonde wig. I'm not going to lie.

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, do it? Did they ever try one on?

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.319
<v Speaker 1>Did was that ever a remote possibility? Or did they

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 1>just keep your I mean, your hair is gorgeous. No.

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I was so hoping to I mean, I just like

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought it would be really cool, of course, you know,

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to rock a blonde wig, and I still would look

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different, but at least give you know,

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>give them that, But they did, I mean I was

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>wearing a wig. I was wearing like a double wig.

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 1>It was extremely extremely heavy on my head. But it

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>was black. It was like dark hair. But no, that

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:21.480
<v Speaker 1>was never a thing, unfortunately. But that's okay. I think

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 1>I love Camille anyway. I love what they did with

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>her so and we love your Camille as well. He

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>did a great job, absolutely, and huge credit to for

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 1>all the research that you did, because you and David

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Castro really got to establish what vampires are on our show.

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>And this is you know, this is something Dom and

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I got to speak about when we were rewatching the episodes.

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>But there's so many different iterations of vampires over all,

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 1>across all media, and we got to as you know,

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>you got to invent Camille of your own accord. You

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and David sort of got to invent what vampires are

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>in our world and established and without the two of

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you who brought such you especially being the leader of

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the vampire clan, who brought so much gravitas and history

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and nuance to what that character was, it really set

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 1>us up for you know, success in the future. Oh well,

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>thank you. I mean, it was just so fun to

0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>like read about her backstory, you know, she's been around

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>for hundreds and hundreds of years, and you know she's

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>mean and evil, but she's sly and like, you know,

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>she she had like she had to have charm where

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>you would just hate her like that, you know that

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>all the villains are. But yeah, I loved her backstory.

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was amazing. I really loved doing the

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>research for her. There's an interesting sort of theological concept

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 1>that comes with immortality that eventually you will always end

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>up being somewhat the bad guy. Like if you look

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>over history, if you just human beings and obviously they're

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>four theoretically vampire history as well. Watching society make the

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:58.600
<v Speaker 1>same mistakes and repeat things like war and genocide and

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, all of these horrendous things that just sort

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 1>of keep cycling through history. I don't know how you

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>do anything but lose faith, you know what I mean.

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a very easy thing to happen for

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>vampires to end up like, yeah, we really don't care

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>about these people because they do consistently make the same mistakes,

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>despite guidance, despite learning from them, and having that mistake

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>written down and redivulged in schools again and again and again.

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>These mistakes still end up happening. So I there's a

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>world in which I understand these like jaded vampires who

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>are like, yeah, they're just food, Like I'm into that,

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>not that that's what I'm into in any way shape

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.239
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. No, I think that's so well sad Absolutely.

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, especially for what's going on right now in

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 1>our current state of the world, which is a dark

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel a dark time right now. You're right, it's

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.079
<v Speaker 1>like history repeats itself, and so when you go through

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 1>that over and over and over again, you you're desensitize.

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 1>You're like, I don't care, Like I'm not even going

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to get attached to you because you'll die or whatever.

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 1>We're great And that's kind of how she looked at life.

0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.439
<v Speaker 1>I feel, um, but you're that was so well sadsolutely,

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I hug It's not mine. So someone else's theory. I

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.080
<v Speaker 1>can't take any credit for it. I don't remember whose

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>it was. Person on Wine. Well, there was such an

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>intriguing quality that you you brought to Camille, and that

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:33.680
<v Speaker 1>she had this this sense of fashion and gravitas, and

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and her look was so much of who she was,

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 1>which played into part of our vampire world being that

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 1>they're the collectors of items, but Camille almost seemed like

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>a collector of people as well, be it Simon or

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Raphael or you know, all of these madness even in

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 1>a way, is that something that sort of played into

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the creation of that character or what what what did

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you kind of pull from when you were doing your

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>your research and everything. Yeah, I mean I love the

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>dynamic and the different relationships she had. Like with Simon,

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, it was like her she got pure satisfaction

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and joy out of tormenting him right until like as

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>he was especially turning into a vampire. Um. And the

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>same with with David as well, Like there their relationship

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 1>was so like good cop bad cop kind of thing. Um.

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I just like, I don't know, I just wanted to

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 1>make sure that each relationship was played differently, Like she

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>treated Simon differently. Then of course Raphael and then Magnus

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>was always the one constant that I feel like, I

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of just felt like Camille, if she were to

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>even have a heart, it would be like the smallest

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 1>amount would be for Magnets. Like there was just that history,

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's because of the history and the

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 1>going three things over and over again and always you know,

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>coming back that I wanted to establish that relationship to

0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>be completely different than with everyone else. Not to say

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>that she had a soft spot, but sort of do

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think like a soft spot in like

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 1>a Camille way, Yeah, a soft of a spot as

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Camille can have. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, And maybe she does

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 1>have a softspot, but she would always like hide that,

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, and keep it, you know. I think, yeah,

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that's you know, adding onto that theory we're

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about earlier, Like I don't think necessarily your sense

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 1>of morality or empathy or compassion disappears. I think it's

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 1>just it's jaded, its shadows, like it's something you're like, well,

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't need this this thing anymore because it's been

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>proven to not be effective to me. Um. So I

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 1>think Camille absolutely has it. I think it's there, and

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I think we just didn't see it very often. She's

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>hiding that stuff. I mean, she's been around for hundreds

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>of years, so she you know, she has that. She

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>just has that like knowledge you know when you yeah, so, well,

0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 1>she's a survivor. Speaking of the hundred of years, what

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 1>was it like to do because you guys did didn't

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you do? Like a whole photo shoot sort of through

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the years. Yeah, like costumes from likes than now You

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>and Harry right and did um Yes, Adam, that was

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>honestly one of my favorite moments. The costume, hair and

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 1>makeup was amazing. I wanted so badly. I think originally

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>it was like we were supposed to have a scene

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 1>where we're at the party in those costumes. Something happened

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>we ended up having to, like, you know, just do

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the photos and whatever and take the pictures. I just

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 1>thought that that was honestly so amazing. And Camille style

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 1>was always great, but dressing up like in that era

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 1>was phenomenal. I love. I really wish I could see

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 1>that picture. I can't even like picture right now, I mean,

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 1>like what it really looks like, but I'm sure we

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 1>could track it down. But how much how much input

0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>did you get to have as far as can you

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 1>look and the hair and the makeup and the wardrobe.

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Did you get to be a part of that process

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>or did they have it all planned and it just

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 1>somehow worked perfectly on you? Because you're well, the dress,

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 1>like that gorgeous dress you wore for the first episode

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.439
<v Speaker 1>was like made for me, so they like literally like

0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have any input on it, but I thought

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.399
<v Speaker 1>it was just the most stunning dress ever. It was

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 1>so gorgeous, like nude under with the black lace over. Um.

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I we definitely were. We were great with like what

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.199
<v Speaker 1>jewelry do you want to weigh? Like, you know, especially

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 1>with hair and makeup. Hair was a little less um

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.959
<v Speaker 1>of a thing because I had to like these wigs

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.600
<v Speaker 1>were like so together. It was like two big wigs um,

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.360
<v Speaker 1>which was really happy. So I mean like the hair

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.959
<v Speaker 1>was just there. It was just a state before her,

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>which I loved. I mean, I thought it was great.

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.560
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, in terms of like nails and makeup and

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, I uh, we definitely worked all together

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 1>to do that stuff. Wardrobe I think was just done.

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 1>They were like this is this dress was made for

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Camille and um at old photo that we were just

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 1>talking about. I don't even remember if I had an option.

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 1>It was just like this huge, gorgeous green gown and

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.479
<v Speaker 1>I was just more excited to be putting it with

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>my hair up in that awesome Yeah, and Adam was

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 1>so great, like he was hilarious. I just I really

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:21.919
<v Speaker 1>loved him and Harry's relationship as well, so it was fun,

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.879
<v Speaker 1>good stuff. Were there characters that you've seen, because you

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.720
<v Speaker 1>said obviously that you were a huge fan of vampires

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 1>previously vampires or not vampires. Were there characters or people

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.360
<v Speaker 1>or anyone you've met people in your life who did

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.439
<v Speaker 1>you draw on to sort of develop who Camill was

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.680
<v Speaker 1>or was there any some some people some actors don't

0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.320
<v Speaker 1>do that. Um, I don't think I draw on anyone

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 1>like personally that I knew, because she was just such

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 1>like a I mean, I've definitely done that with other characters,

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think. I don't think I know anyone

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:57.120
<v Speaker 1>who's as badass as Camille. I wish I did. Yeah,

0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I would be best friends with her, but no, she

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I just kind of like it up on the box.

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I knew that these these fans were dedicated to these characters,

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:07.359
<v Speaker 1>and the fans were, as I'm sure you guys can agree,

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.960
<v Speaker 1>are one of the, if not the best, part of

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Shadow Hunters. They were just so incredible. So I just

0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted to give her justice and to do her justice.

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 1>So I just really read up and researched what she

0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>was like and kind of drew from what I would

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 1>imagine she was like, I kind of just meet. I

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.399
<v Speaker 1>don't think I based her on anyone in particular, although

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 1>this is seven years ago. I don't know. Maybe I did.

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.879
<v Speaker 1>I can't really know. It's so funny. That's what we

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.680
<v Speaker 1>keep finding, is like we'll rewatch things and I'll say

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.080
<v Speaker 1>something in one of the episodes. Then I'll get to

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.040
<v Speaker 1>another episode and I'm like, that's not what I did,

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 1>And now I remember what I did. This is a

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 1>complete lie. What I said in the previous episode. Now,

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 1>this is what I'm talking about, because it was just

0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:49.159
<v Speaker 1>like we started filming, So your episodes, your episodes, you're

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 1>early episodes, would have been seven years ago, which is

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 1>crazy that seven years, seven years and two kids later

0:19:55.960 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 1>for you. That's wild. Yeah. Actually, I can't even remember

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>what I did on Friday, so I mean, it's remember.

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:06.840
<v Speaker 1>But this is something that I just have to say

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>because it's so true for you and for for so

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:12.200
<v Speaker 1>many of the folks on Shadow Hunters. Is the casting

0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.119
<v Speaker 1>was so brilliant on this show. As someone who you know,

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I read all the books and getting to see all

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of these characters being brought in and meeting all of

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you often in hair, makeup, boardrobe, costume for the first

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.400
<v Speaker 1>time and seeing you dive in and bring so much

0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:29.199
<v Speaker 1>to it. Everyone cared so much about the characters and

0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:31.920
<v Speaker 1>did all the research. But there's also an inherent quality

0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.480
<v Speaker 1>in each person you know, your yourself included. I think

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:36.919
<v Speaker 1>I think you're a lot more of about us than

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you give yourself credit for, um and and there's so

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 1>much of of who you are inherently that gave Camille

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 1>that extra little edge, and that extra is something special

0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.879
<v Speaker 1>that I think really brought the magic for lack of

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a better word, to her on screen. So just thank

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.880
<v Speaker 1>you for for being the team player. Sweet Oh my god,

0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.680
<v Speaker 1>it was I missed Shadow Hunters so much. I missed

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 1>all characters. I really was bummed when we had to stop.

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for saying that. Well, and you were such

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.199
<v Speaker 1>a trooper going through so many different things from you know,

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.679
<v Speaker 1>being in eight inch heels in a graveyard or you know,

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 1>getting locked in a coffin and having to st head off. Yeah,

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I bet right. Yeah, that was actually like one of

0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the hardest things I've ever had to do in my career.

0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm like I realized that I'm like I

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 1>think I'm a little claustrophobic, and I also think it's

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 1>being locked in a coffin with chains was also like

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a dark you know. I was breaking out inside my

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 1>heart was like pounding. It's not wild. Yeah, it's not

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 1>something I would have wanted to do at all. It's

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 1>a really it's a I think Alberta had a similar

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.159
<v Speaker 1>experience when he did his emergency was talking about it

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:47.200
<v Speaker 1>like it's it's not a fun thing to like, it's

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 1>not something that you're supposed to go through as a

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>human being. Yeah, it was weird. It was just like

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Steve that was our our stunt guy for season right,

0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 1>he was like that he had his hand in like

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>a hole, like holding my leg or my arm or something,

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 1>just to be like it's okay, Like there isn't out

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:09.400
<v Speaker 1>because I was freaking out. I was so scared, and yeah, claustrophobic,

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:11.679
<v Speaker 1>I definitely don't want to get put back into a box.

0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I completely understand. Okay, I have a question for you,

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:18.800
<v Speaker 1>because me and my girlfriend were discussing this recently. If

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 1>your kids this is not even vaguely Shadow Hunters related,

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.480
<v Speaker 1>It's just occurred to me. I'm not really good host

0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:26.359
<v Speaker 1>of this show. That's what we're learning because I just

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I go off through. Um, if if your kids, either

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:32.919
<v Speaker 1>of them or both of them, wanted to pursue a

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:39.120
<v Speaker 1>career in acting, what would you say to them. I mean,

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I would never want to take that. If they really

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do that, I don't think I would be

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:48.879
<v Speaker 1>able to say no. Um, it's hard. I would just

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 1>have to steer them in the right direction because, as

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, it can go off and to so many

0:22:56.119 --> 0:23:00.360
<v Speaker 1>other horrible directions. Um, it would be hard, I think

0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:03.439
<v Speaker 1>because as we all know, like you know, people glamorize

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:07.879
<v Speaker 1>the industry. I really do, especially when you're young. Yeah,

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:11.160
<v Speaker 1>really rough. So I had a I had a theory.

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a parent yet, so I don't know. I

0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know if this is necessarily going to be the

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:18.679
<v Speaker 1>right thing. My first kid is going to be very experimental, basically,

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 1>is what we're figuring out. I'm going to take a

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of like, let's see if this works with you.

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think what I've sort of vaguely decided is

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:30.600
<v Speaker 1>sixteen years old, I need you to go through a

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>certain level of school. I need you to develop who

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 1>you were going to be as a human being before

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the industry tries to develop you because it will, it

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 1>will try and raise you a certain way. And that's

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:43.640
<v Speaker 1>sort of what I've landed on, is like you need

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>to have and sixteens, Like I didn't really know who

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:48.159
<v Speaker 1>I was at sixteen. I was still learning, I was

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:50.400
<v Speaker 1>still growing, but I had I had sort of my basis.

0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:52.679
<v Speaker 1>I had my morality that was in place, Like I

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 1>had my semblance of right and wrong. I understood whatever

0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 1>it was. And I think that's where my headspace is

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>at now with kids. I think you need to know

0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:05.640
<v Speaker 1>who you are before you start pretending to be somebody else. Yeah,

0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:07.560
<v Speaker 1>that's not just to be able to do a good job,

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.880
<v Speaker 1>but also because there's as you say, like we've all

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:14.399
<v Speaker 1>worked with people who were like that person kind of sucks.

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:16.639
<v Speaker 1>And it's not necessarily because they got into it early.

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:20.880
<v Speaker 1>It's not for any reason necessarily other than the industry

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:22.239
<v Speaker 1>has kind of told them that there is a way

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to behave that is not the correct way to behave.

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I think my kids need to know how to behave first,

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and then if you still want to do it, also

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:31.800
<v Speaker 1>gives you enough time to be like, maybe I don't

0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:35.119
<v Speaker 1>want to do this, Like I'm not sure. That's one

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:36.360
<v Speaker 1>of the things as well. So if you got any

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:38.399
<v Speaker 1>other towns, that's sort of where my headspace is a

0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:41.359
<v Speaker 1>kind of right now. Yeah, that's a good But like,

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 1>what if they're you know, nine, and they're like, please,

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>please please see the sky, isn't it? Yeah? What if

0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 1>they're nine and a role comes up in something that

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:52.399
<v Speaker 1>either I'm doing or a friends doing that they'd be

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 1>perfect for, like them, what do you do, you know,

0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:56.920
<v Speaker 1>like a star making role. What do you do at

0:24:56.920 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that point? It's such a tricky thing. I know. I think.

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I think because we are actors and we've been in

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the industry for so long, we've seen the good, the bad,

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the ugly, glamorous, right, I think maybe we would have

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.639
<v Speaker 1>a better upper hand in kind of steering them in

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:15.120
<v Speaker 1>the right way, do you know what I mean? Because like, yeah,

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 1>you're on set and you're you know, you're treated like royalty,

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:21.400
<v Speaker 1>and then but that's that's ending, Like it's over now

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:24.640
<v Speaker 1>when you come back to reality and um hang out

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>with children instead of adults, and you know what I mean,

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.160
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like kids can grow up so much

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 1>faster on set. But yeah, that's the thing you've got

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:34.880
<v Speaker 1>to be if they're begging you at nine ten years old,

0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, what do you do? I mean, Avery

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 1>has been in two movies already. Were they things you

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 1>were working on or something else? Yeah? Yeah, of Persist

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>movie I ever did with with Vivica a Fox, and

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:55.240
<v Speaker 1>they needed a child to play her granddaughter who was

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:59.000
<v Speaker 1>like a mixed, like an ethnically ambiguous child, and Avery

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>does look ethnically and to us, so it was like

0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 1>can she do it? She was a baby, she was like, um,

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a year and a half. Maybe I don't even think

0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>she was a year and a half. She was young,

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:09.760
<v Speaker 1>she's a baby, and she she was in a movie

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:13.400
<v Speaker 1>with me, playing the vicar's granddaughter. And then a few

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:15.720
<v Speaker 1>years later I was a producer on Christmas with the

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Prince and they, I think, like a little actor didn't

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 1>show up and so I got to put her in

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 1>like a little scene and that's yeah. It was really

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 1>it was more for me because she was so young

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:31.919
<v Speaker 1>and little. She didn't really remember it, but it was

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:33.760
<v Speaker 1>just something for me that I could be like, I

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:38.439
<v Speaker 1>have this like forever on, like the two of us

0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:43.160
<v Speaker 1>in the scene, you know together. That's that's pretty cool.

0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:47.159
<v Speaker 1>I like that and I think you're right about like

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:49.720
<v Speaker 1>being a parent in the industry, you have a responsibility

0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 1>because you have this understanding of how the industry works, right,

0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:56.360
<v Speaker 1>you have this responsibility. So my mom, I remember this vividly.

0:26:56.800 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 1>My mom came to to my first episode Big Formier,

0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 1>ironically for a vampire movie. I did call Vampire Academy,

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:05.159
<v Speaker 1>so they flew her out. She arrives like three and

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:06.920
<v Speaker 1>a half hours late. I don't know what's happened. Turns

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 1>out she had a fight with Border Control, which is

0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:12.159
<v Speaker 1>very my mom. She's had this argument with Border Control,

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:14.439
<v Speaker 1>she said. So it's something along the lines of like

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 1>he was like, what are you what are you doing here?

0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:21.240
<v Speaker 1>And she went on, that's your business it is, But

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 1>there you go. Anyway, she arrives and we're in the

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:26.200
<v Speaker 1>middle of like round table press, me and Lucy Frying,

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:30.160
<v Speaker 1>my costar, and somewhat an assistant or someone came over

0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 1>at some point and said, hey, can can we get

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 1>you anything? Do you need anything? And I said, actually yes,

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I would love just a bottle of water, a glass

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of water, thank you very much. And my mom, unbeknown

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to me, it's just walked in at the back of

0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the room and she goes. First thing she says to me,

0:27:41.640 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 1>she went, no, get your own fucking water. I was like,

0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:48.399
<v Speaker 1>that's how I know I'm always going to be a

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:55.680
<v Speaker 1>normal kid in this industry because my mom. Yeah, that's amazing.

0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I love your mom. Yeah, your mom is wonderful. Yeah,

0:27:59.880 --> 0:28:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess you missed. Yeah, we were in she came

0:28:02.760 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 1>season one with my little brother and my stepdad, but

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 1>we were doing stuff with Jade in the woods, so

0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 1>we didn't interact that much after after just be the graveyard.

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:15.000
<v Speaker 1>It was the graveyard was I think the last time

0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:16.720
<v Speaker 1>we really might have been the last time you and

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I interacted in the show. No, weren't you there when

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 1>we were looking for the Oh you weren't. They were

0:28:21.760 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to save you. Wasn't it right when we were

0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to find the book? Yeah, okay, so it was

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:29.000
<v Speaker 1>just a graveyard. The gray night was fun. That was long.

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:32.040
<v Speaker 1>It was fun. It was a night. Yeah, it was

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a long night. It did look amazing. Vampire Speed is

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>also something we should talk about. Oh my god, yeah,

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>tell us about Vampire Speed in Stilettos. Vampire Speed was

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 1>a little scary in Stilettos at the Graveyard because you

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:51.840
<v Speaker 1>know you could sink, but I just did it. I

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, okay, yeah, I feel like I was in

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 1>those heels so much that I got used to them.

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I could do it now, though I'd

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:01.000
<v Speaker 1>be really scared. I'd probably fall and break my Yeah,

0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 1>they sort of fused your feet after a while, don't Yeah,

0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>totally they were, and they were like, yeah, they were, okay,

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I just I did it. I crossed my fingers and said,

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 1>please don't fall, please, it would be awful. But I didn't, right,

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you fell once. You didn't even stumble. No, No,

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think. God, but that would have been awful.

0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Into a grave, that'd be great. I fell in my

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:25.959
<v Speaker 1>combat boots that the two or three when we come

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:29.120
<v Speaker 1>and save Simon and I broke my ankle. It was

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 1>just it was, yeah, probably four or five episodes. I

0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:36.160
<v Speaker 1>couldn't walk. I was on crutches. It was horrendous. And

0:29:36.200 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 1>that's sort of even in stilettos. That was I don't

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 1>even think I was running. I think I just went

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 1>over on it. It was and I was in like

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:45.320
<v Speaker 1>active footwear and I just went down. So credit to

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you ladies. Fod just being so much more athletic than

0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I could ever be. I don't know about that. You

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 1>had to do like fights and stuff and like healed

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 1>boots and so did so did um oh my god,

0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:00.440
<v Speaker 1>her out? Yeah remember her, Like I'm I got her.

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Her heels probably made mine look, you know, lame. I

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 1>think they were pretty similar. I think that's why I

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 1>got confused with your height, because you it was a

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:11.520
<v Speaker 1>solid like I was like in my head, I was like,

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 1>she's at least five nine, Like that's crazy, that's been

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:16.240
<v Speaker 1>crazy thing to say. So your heels most at least

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 1>five inches. That's assuming that I know how to just

0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 1>eyeball height down to the inch's exactly five nins, exactly

0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:28.520
<v Speaker 1>five nights. Well, to be fair, dumb, you you gentlemen

0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:31.080
<v Speaker 1>are all quite tall, and a lot of us ladies

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:34.120
<v Speaker 1>on the show were very short, so you know, getting

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to have us in the same frame. Um, I'm only

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>five five five six maybe on a good day in

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the morning, and uh, you know it's it's I never

0:30:43.600 --> 0:30:46.160
<v Speaker 1>know tall I am anymore I don't know in the

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:48.280
<v Speaker 1>morning than you are later in the day. Though, There's

0:30:48.280 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 1>no way it's true, like hunch, because gravity just like

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 1>infantessm gravity. Yeah, so in theory, I'm thinner in the

0:30:57.680 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 1>morning also when I wake up because I've been horizontal

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 1>be affected by gravity for eight hours. I don't know

0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:05.240
<v Speaker 1>about that. That's the exact same thing that you're saying.

0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 1>That's the exact same I feel like if you weigh

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:11.960
<v Speaker 1>yourself in the morning, I feel like you'd be be like, Okay,

0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I think I'd probably be lighter because I've been doing

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 1>something without putting anything into my body for I don't

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 1>know if i'd actually be physically because gravity has had

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:25.120
<v Speaker 1>an effect on my body. That's true. Where do I

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:27.640
<v Speaker 1>compress cat? Where is gravity having this effect on me?

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Isn't my spine? Is my spine compressing by an inch?

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I think so. I don't know if it's a full inch,

0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 1>but it's you know, I don't like it. Now. I'm

0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna measure myself tonight. And then again it's always get

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:42.680
<v Speaker 1>into weird yeah, bars on this podcast, it's very funny.

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:45.280
<v Speaker 1>It's we have many science lessons in the midst of

0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 1>return the shadows, whether or not they're accurate as another story. Yeah,

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 1>we don't know yet. Don't take that to the bank.

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Not I don't know if that's cocktail talk at your

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 1>next party or event or when you're with friends. Because

0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's true yet, let me do

0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:00.440
<v Speaker 1>some research back to you. We'll do some research cheap.

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Since shadow Hunters, you've you know, you've done so much

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and and you've been a producer around things and you've

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:29.360
<v Speaker 1>done This is what I love about shadow Hunters is

0:32:29.400 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 1>now it's been seven years, we get to look and

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:34.640
<v Speaker 1>we get to see where people have gone since then.

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 1>So tell us a little bit you've done. You've been

0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a producer on seven on a few things now right

0:32:39.040 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and kind of moving forward, and a few things with Hallmark.

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.120
<v Speaker 1>And I just worked with Hallmark for the first time

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 1>as well. And it's there's such a wonderful preview. Yeah,

0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I just I saw it. You look amazing. Yeah, those movies.

0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I have to shoot another wrong com next week. Actually, yeah,

0:32:57.920 --> 0:33:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I've done. I've done quite a few of those. They're great,

0:33:00.720 --> 0:33:04.160
<v Speaker 1>They're awesome and and people are always so lovely on them.

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 1>And yes, those companies are so free to work for

0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:08.400
<v Speaker 1>um And yeah, I was given the opportunity to be

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:10.960
<v Speaker 1>a producer on one of my Christmas movies, like the

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:13.760
<v Speaker 1>sequel of It and I had the opportunity to learn,

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Like I had never been a producer before. I don't

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:18.200
<v Speaker 1>even know what a producer does. I kind of still don't.

0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like they just put out fires like all day.

0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 1>So I just took that as like a really great

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:30.240
<v Speaker 1>learning experience. And then I shadowed directors. I shadowed many

0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 1>directors now over the years, and I learned a lot.

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Like seeing the other side of it puts so much

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:42.360
<v Speaker 1>into perspective. It's like the actors haven't even gone on

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:45.160
<v Speaker 1>the set yet and there's already been like five emergencies

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that they're trying to figure out and like reconfigure, and

0:33:48.720 --> 0:33:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and then the actor comes on and they're like, hey,

0:33:50.360 --> 0:33:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm here, and they don't even know that. People, I'm

0:33:52.760 --> 0:33:57.640
<v Speaker 1>like putting up claims for them. I'm so tired, Like

0:33:57.800 --> 0:34:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you're what you know, idea, like what exact actually? Um.

0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:04.040
<v Speaker 1>So I've really enjoyed doing stuff like that and just

0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 1>learning about, you know, the behind the scenes and the

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:09.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff. Ye would you direct if that opportunity

0:34:09.520 --> 0:34:11.319
<v Speaker 1>came you would love to direct? Yeah, I would love

0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:13.360
<v Speaker 1>to know. I was like in talks with the production

0:34:13.360 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 1>company that I work for to hopefully direct soon but yeah,

0:34:18.680 --> 0:34:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Like she was like, you know, you can act and direct,

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, no, way, I am not. I'm not.

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I've had that opportunity place not placed

0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I've had it. I've had the question positive to me

0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times, and I'm like, I don't. I

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:33.479
<v Speaker 1>don't think I could because I don't think I could,

0:34:33.560 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 1>even just from the completely selfish, I don't think I

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 1>could be critical about myself in in a neutral way.

0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I could see I could just see

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:46.160
<v Speaker 1>what I'm doing wrong and then you know what I mean,

0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and like not see the sort of the entire picture.

0:34:48.320 --> 0:34:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I could do that. Like I'm fairly

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:53.239
<v Speaker 1>critical as an actor anyway, and I don't think I

0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:55.800
<v Speaker 1>could do it as a whole thing. I think it

0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:59.719
<v Speaker 1>would be easier to do it, and just like everyone else,

0:34:59.800 --> 0:35:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you well, especially while you're doing something else that's relatively new.

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you're experiment you're you're directing for one

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:09.120
<v Speaker 1>of the first times, and it's a new new set

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:11.160
<v Speaker 1>of tools that you're trying to figure out. Because every

0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:14.400
<v Speaker 1>job on set is its own and its entirely on

0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 1>its own. The whole set of skills and responsibilities and

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 1>challenges and then to have to double task. Would I

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:25.800
<v Speaker 1>think would be um a lot but interesting. Yeah, it

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:28.400
<v Speaker 1>would definitely be interesting. It would be I just I

0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:31.799
<v Speaker 1>would too petrified to try it. I'd be like, I, yeah,

0:35:32.000 --> 0:35:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I like way, I'd be like, no, I'm already I

0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:36.400
<v Speaker 1>would already be so scared to direct because you're like,

0:35:36.440 --> 0:35:38.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a whole new thing, I've never done this before,

0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you're also act in no way, So I

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 1>was like no, no, no, Like I like, I would

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:45.440
<v Speaker 1>love to maybe do a little wrong comm or Christmas

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:49.000
<v Speaker 1>movie because I've done my fair share of those, so um,

0:35:49.040 --> 0:35:50.759
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I definitely would. I think there needs to

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:56.680
<v Speaker 1>be more female voices in the in the industry. Agree. Um,

0:35:56.760 --> 0:36:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you did Spinning Out with Yeah and Kaya? Yes? Oh

0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:09.600
<v Speaker 1>my god, you guys did maze rounds. We did. Yes,

0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:13.560
<v Speaker 1>we talked about you. She loves you. Um yeah, Spinning

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Out was it was amazing. I'm so sad that that

0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't take off. Do you have a background in ice skating? Yeah?

0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I used to figure skate competitively when I was younger,

0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, and I quit and I never put skates

0:36:29.120 --> 0:36:31.839
<v Speaker 1>on again and had no desire to at all. And

0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:35.759
<v Speaker 1>so I auditioned for the show and I got this

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:40.919
<v Speaker 1>really great character, Leah, who was so mean, like so mean,

0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, excellent, I love this. But I

0:36:46.640 --> 0:36:48.520
<v Speaker 1>had to get the skates back one and we were

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:51.440
<v Speaker 1>training for like months before we even went to camera,

0:36:51.600 --> 0:36:54.600
<v Speaker 1>like every single day. It was a lot in freezing

0:36:54.640 --> 0:36:57.120
<v Speaker 1>cold ranks. And I mean I had had a kid

0:36:57.160 --> 0:36:59.720
<v Speaker 1>at that point. In fact, actually when we filmed the finale,

0:36:59.840 --> 0:37:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I just found out I was pregnant with my second

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 1>and Johnny Weir, who is yeah, amazing, and he was

0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:09.040
<v Speaker 1>like one of the first people I told because we

0:37:09.040 --> 0:37:10.560
<v Speaker 1>were I had to tell him, Like I was a

0:37:10.600 --> 0:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>little nervous. I mean, I feel comfortable on the ice,

0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 1>but you know, anything could happen. But um, yeah, it

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>was a lot. I've never had to train so hard

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:22.480
<v Speaker 1>for something other than a dance movie, but this was

0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:25.760
<v Speaker 1>this was even more. It was a lot. So but yeah, Kaya,

0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, she was so great. She's really wonderful. Yeah,

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:32.400
<v Speaker 1>she had never been on ice before and they had

0:37:32.440 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to like teach her how to skate. That's incredible. I

0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 1>mean I have little to no experience on ice. And

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:42.759
<v Speaker 1>we had one scene that you know, was a really

0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 1>big deal on the ice. But but I couldn't even

0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:50.080
<v Speaker 1>imagine doing a whole show. That's that's fascinating. Yeah, it

0:37:50.160 --> 0:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>was fun. It was. That was another bummer that didn't,

0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:54.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, work out because it was a great show.

0:37:54.320 --> 0:37:56.319
<v Speaker 1>I touched on so many things and mental health and

0:37:56.400 --> 0:38:00.640
<v Speaker 1>sport and you know, the competitiveness. But it happened. But yeah,

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:02.839
<v Speaker 1>it was. It was so weird. You just never know.

0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:05.480
<v Speaker 1>You just never know, no matter how confident you are

0:38:05.600 --> 0:38:08.759
<v Speaker 1>or how right something is, you just never know what

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 1>people are going to respond to. It's such it's such

0:38:11.080 --> 0:38:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a weird animal. And then I guess as well because

0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:19.000
<v Speaker 1>there's always sort of that disparity of time between like

0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:21.799
<v Speaker 1>this show is going to land, like everything that's going

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:23.719
<v Speaker 1>on right in this moment, this show is going to land,

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and then it can take like a year for it

0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:27.799
<v Speaker 1>to come out and the world changes and you're like

0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone's going to hate it. Now this is the right time,

0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I know. Yeah, for sure, that would be that would

0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:36.759
<v Speaker 1>be a rough situation, a rough girl. But I mean

0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I was confident when I got the call from producers.

0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:41.959
<v Speaker 1>I was like, we're getting We're gonna get, We're getting

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:44.680
<v Speaker 1>renewed and they were like Hi. I was like, wait,

0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that's a bad high. Oh my god. Yeah, I'm like,

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:49.799
<v Speaker 1>what's going on? I thought they were joking. I was like,

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:53.720
<v Speaker 1>this is not no way like, but yeah, it happened.

0:38:53.800 --> 0:38:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know we've all been on that receiving

0:38:56.120 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 1>end of calls and yeah, we certainly have. When I

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:03.360
<v Speaker 1>got the call for this, I was with I was

0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I was doing like a European drinking tour with Matt Dadario.

0:39:06.920 --> 0:39:09.760
<v Speaker 1>So I we were in we were in like a nightclub,

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and I get this call and I'm like, oh, I

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:13.120
<v Speaker 1>should answer. This is my boss. So I go out,

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 1>take the call, come back in and he's like, is

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 1>everything okay? And I'm like, get your phone out, and

0:39:18.239 --> 0:39:19.719
<v Speaker 1>he gets his phone out and as soon as it

0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:22.280
<v Speaker 1>comes out, it starts ringing, and I'm like, you should

0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:29.680
<v Speaker 1>go take that vacation. No, not at all, like I think. Actually,

0:39:30.280 --> 0:39:32.239
<v Speaker 1>what was quite nice about it is that we had

0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:34.680
<v Speaker 1>each other and we we had the ability to sort

0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:37.840
<v Speaker 1>of start almost reflecting before it was even over. It

0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:40.840
<v Speaker 1>was actually quite a nice like it was. It was

0:39:40.840 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the best people to be with because I

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:44.760
<v Speaker 1>was with someone who knew exactly what I was going through.

0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:49.440
<v Speaker 1>And I could like decompress with him over this whilst

0:39:49.480 --> 0:39:51.719
<v Speaker 1>we were there, you know, that's with him and you

0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 1>can do the same. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so it was

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 1>actually it actually ended up being quite nice in a

0:39:57.080 --> 0:40:03.080
<v Speaker 1>weird way. Yeah. Yeah, it's wonderful. It's better than being alone. Yeah.

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I was the same way. And it's sort of you

0:40:04.640 --> 0:40:07.640
<v Speaker 1>get the call and it's almost it's almost akin to

0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:09.799
<v Speaker 1>getting the call that you're cast in something like that,

0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:12.000
<v Speaker 1>because it's you know your life's going to change and

0:40:12.000 --> 0:40:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you're I'm exactly sure how, and it's it's difficult to fathom.

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:18.440
<v Speaker 1>That's sort of unknown. That's a fun one that I've

0:40:18.520 --> 0:40:20.879
<v Speaker 1>learned to predict as well. So I don't know if

0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:22.960
<v Speaker 1>this happens with you guys, but it happens with me.

0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:26.120
<v Speaker 1>So I know, like you know, when you're sort of

0:40:26.200 --> 0:40:28.760
<v Speaker 1>actually in contention for a role, you've done a few auditions,

0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:30.759
<v Speaker 1>you've tested, you know, there's only a couple of guys

0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:32.960
<v Speaker 1>or girls left in your sort of round. You're like,

0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:34.640
<v Speaker 1>one of us is going to get this role. I

0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:36.799
<v Speaker 1>don't know who it is, but one of us. And

0:40:36.800 --> 0:40:39.680
<v Speaker 1>what I figured out is that if my manager calls

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:43.480
<v Speaker 1>me and just to my manager. I didn't get the role.

0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't even need to answer the phone. I know

0:40:45.280 --> 0:40:47.319
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get the role. If I get a call

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and they go, hey, we've got your team everyone on

0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:52.920
<v Speaker 1>the call, I'm like, oh baby, I got this one.

0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I know I got this one. This is great. I

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:56.520
<v Speaker 1>got this one. But if it cools and it just

0:40:56.520 --> 0:41:01.160
<v Speaker 1>says his name, I'm like, ship, go on my way.

0:41:01.560 --> 0:41:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Those are the hard ones. Yeah, it's become such a

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:06.399
<v Speaker 1>strange world too, with all these. I had a weird

0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:09.640
<v Speaker 1>one recently when um Walker Independence got picked up. I

0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:12.160
<v Speaker 1>was on an international flight when the news broke, the

0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:14.880
<v Speaker 1>one international flight I've had in the last five years

0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:17.840
<v Speaker 1>where there was just no WiFi, and so I land.

0:41:17.880 --> 0:41:21.000
<v Speaker 1>You didn't know, I had no idea for hours, and

0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I land, and nobody knew why I wasn't responding, and

0:41:24.440 --> 0:41:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the phone just went. All of these texts and emails

0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:29.719
<v Speaker 1>and calls came in of like the first things I

0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 1>saw were where are you? And what's wrong? And I'm going, what,

0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know? I was on a flight, what's going on?

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:38.160
<v Speaker 1>And then suddenly everything poured in and I kind of

0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:41.399
<v Speaker 1>put the pieces together. So no one I didn't even

0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:43.480
<v Speaker 1>get to hear the news. I had to put the

0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:48.880
<v Speaker 1>pieces together from from So they released it into the

0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:52.200
<v Speaker 1>press before you even found out that it was happening. Yeah,

0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:54.399
<v Speaker 1>because I had been I had been called, but I

0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:56.479
<v Speaker 1>was on a flight and I completely missed the call

0:41:56.560 --> 0:41:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and missed all the calls, all the emails, the group

0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:03.759
<v Speaker 1>texts everything. Okay, deadline article, it's it's it's wild, how

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you know. But that's the one thing in this industry.

0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:09.919
<v Speaker 1>We you know, our lives change left right and centered exactly. Yeah,

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:13.799
<v Speaker 1>they can to ride that rough. Yeah for sure. Was

0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:16.640
<v Speaker 1>that shot in Canada? No, we shot that in New

0:42:16.680 --> 0:42:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Mexico actually, because I think the other Walker one was Calgary, Alberta.

0:42:21.120 --> 0:42:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I believe right it might have been. I don't actually

0:42:23.880 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 1>know where they shot the pilot. I know they shot Vancouver. Yeah,

0:42:26.800 --> 0:42:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I know they shoot that one in Austin now. But okay,

0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:32.359
<v Speaker 1>it's all over. I mean they shoot. There's there's a

0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:34.960
<v Speaker 1>ton of stuff that shoots, like in Calgary and all

0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the all the Westerns that shoot up. It's such a

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:41.799
<v Speaker 1>beautiful world country it is. It's gorgeous. Yeah, Toronto is fun.

0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I we I just kind of another buddy book a

0:42:44.120 --> 0:42:47.200
<v Speaker 1>show in Toronto, and he's like, do you have any recommendations,

0:42:47.239 --> 0:42:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, all, baby, get ready, because I'm just

0:42:50.160 --> 0:42:53.040
<v Speaker 1>going to offload like everything, like all of my favorites.

0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:54.399
<v Speaker 1>And then I'm like, you can go to this bob,

0:42:54.400 --> 0:42:56.040
<v Speaker 1>but don't mention my name because I'm not allowed in

0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:59.400
<v Speaker 1>this one anymore, and like different things. Tom. It's so

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:01.279
<v Speaker 1>good to hear the you do that too, because every

0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:03.880
<v Speaker 1>time someone mentions Toronto, I'm was like, oh, I have

0:43:03.960 --> 0:43:06.160
<v Speaker 1>stuff for you, and then I just have a thirty

0:43:06.200 --> 0:43:09.839
<v Speaker 1>minute diet tribe and they're kind of going, Okay, I don't.

0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm introduced him to like my buddies, like my Canadian friends.

0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, if you want to have this sort of

0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:16.840
<v Speaker 1>nights out, go see this person. If you want to

0:43:16.840 --> 0:43:19.680
<v Speaker 1>go on hikes to this person. And now I have

0:43:19.719 --> 0:43:21.719
<v Speaker 1>to go back through and remember all of the people

0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:23.719
<v Speaker 1>that I've recommended him to and then text them and

0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:24.960
<v Speaker 1>be like, hey, just so you know, I gave your

0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:27.799
<v Speaker 1>numbers for a stranger and they might reach out, right

0:43:28.640 --> 0:43:31.440
<v Speaker 1>because you guys were here for so long, right, Yeah,

0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:34.960
<v Speaker 1>it was almost four years, which is wild. I realized

0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 1>when we were shooting the series finale that that I

0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:41.000
<v Speaker 1>had spent more time in Clary's clothes on our sound

0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:44.600
<v Speaker 1>stages than I had in my own apartments or my

0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:48.319
<v Speaker 1>own personal life with my friends and family. And it's

0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:50.920
<v Speaker 1>wild when you're doing that many episodes of a series

0:43:51.040 --> 0:43:53.839
<v Speaker 1>or any kind of a show, how much of your

0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:57.759
<v Speaker 1>life is spent in that world? Mm hmm. Yeah, it

0:43:57.800 --> 0:44:02.920
<v Speaker 1>becomes home and Cass becomes family because you know it

0:44:03.080 --> 0:44:06.839
<v Speaker 1>just it just works out that way. Um, Caitlin, before

0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:08.560
<v Speaker 1>we let you go, I have one more question, if

0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:12.000
<v Speaker 1>that's okay, Yeah, tell me what your future is. What

0:44:12.040 --> 0:44:14.239
<v Speaker 1>do you want to do next? What is there is

0:44:14.239 --> 0:44:15.920
<v Speaker 1>there anything coming up that we should look out for?

0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Would you play a vampire again? Would you never play

0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:20.880
<v Speaker 1>a vampire again? What's going on? What's in your head? Um?

0:44:20.880 --> 0:44:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I would definitely play a vampire again. I don't think

0:44:23.040 --> 0:44:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I would wear the double wig. That was like, honestly

0:44:24.800 --> 0:44:26.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the worst parts of it. Like I had

0:44:26.640 --> 0:44:32.360
<v Speaker 1>headaches within ten minutes of this like huge ass wig

0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:36.120
<v Speaker 1>on my head. Um. What do I want to do next?

0:44:36.160 --> 0:44:38.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean I definitely want to play. Um. I like

0:44:38.880 --> 0:44:43.160
<v Speaker 1>playing like those darker characters. Um, And I think I

0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:48.560
<v Speaker 1>wanna direct. I'm definitely very much interested in that um

0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:50.680
<v Speaker 1>again not acting and directing in the same thing, but

0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I would like to try directing. I'm scared too, but

0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:55.759
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's a good thing. I think, you know,

0:44:55.920 --> 0:44:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you can get comfortable doing romcoms and Christmas movies. So

0:44:59.440 --> 0:45:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, you know, if I'm going to live in

0:45:00.840 --> 0:45:02.439
<v Speaker 1>this world, I want to I want to do something

0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:05.880
<v Speaker 1>that's going to challenge me. Um make me scared of

0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:08.759
<v Speaker 1>the first day and you know for sure, I mean

0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I think back to my like first day on literally

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:13.960
<v Speaker 1>any set still now to this day, and it scares

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the ship out of me. Like it's still a really

0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:21.560
<v Speaker 1>nerve it is. Yeah, it's exactly where it's like, yes,

0:45:21.680 --> 0:45:24.440
<v Speaker 1>but also it's it's a fun challenge and it's an

0:45:24.520 --> 0:45:27.359
<v Speaker 1>exciting every time you have a new opportunity. Every time

0:45:27.360 --> 0:45:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you have a new chapter, it's it's a new horizon,

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's an opportunity to grow and learn. And I

0:45:32.560 --> 0:45:35.840
<v Speaker 1>think that's something that everyone who jumped into Shadow Hunters,

0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:40.719
<v Speaker 1>yourself included, was so it was so astronomical to see

0:45:40.760 --> 0:45:43.959
<v Speaker 1>everyone dive in and grow and change and learn and

0:45:43.960 --> 0:45:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and enhance our world because everyone was so willing to play. Yeah,

0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:52.600
<v Speaker 1>it was fun. Man, good memories. It really was a

0:45:52.600 --> 0:45:55.840
