Speaker 2: then a text is also, and then a voice note.
Speaker 1: Is okay, thank you, I feel seen and too. We're
Speaker 1: just going to leave that right there. We're gonna do
Speaker 1: that one right there. What was your first reaction when
Speaker 1: you got the role of Delilah.
Speaker 2: I was shocked because I did my audition out of
Speaker 2: my parents RV, so I was in Florida and they
Speaker 2: they're like big RV people. I was talking about this
Speaker 2: last night when my showruner. I was like, why did
Speaker 2: you Like? I thought I bombed it because the A
Speaker 2: C was blaring, the Wi Fi was bad, and I
Speaker 2: was like, I have no because in my house in Florida, well,
Speaker 2: my parents' house, the Wi Fi was down. So that's
Speaker 2: why I had to go out to the RV. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I had to warn them ahead of time, like with
Speaker 2: all these execs and everyone on the zoom. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm in an RV. It's not really the AC keeps
Speaker 2: shutting off and then turning back on, and it was
Speaker 2: like it was a disaster. So I was shocked. I
Speaker 2: was shocked that it worked out.
Speaker 1: Wow. And it was a live audition on zoomah Wow,
Speaker 1: not even like a tape.
Speaker 2: The first was a tape and then yeah, it was live.
Speaker 1: You did something right, Clearly it worked. We'll see it worked. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: what else do we have? Which moment from the story
Speaker 1: felt the most emotional to film?
Speaker 2: Most emotional? I mean there's a few. I would say
Speaker 2: when teen Delilah it finds out that she's pregnant, that
Speaker 2: was my heart like broke for her and what she
Speaker 2: was going through, like the loneliness around it. And then
Speaker 2: I would say probably when she broke down about her
Speaker 2: like actual the truth of her life and saying that
Speaker 2: she forgot her stepmom's name and she deserved better and
Speaker 2: all that, Like I think that was like a big
Speaker 2: She's like cracking open in that moment.
Speaker 1: H you have some powerful moments thanks very layered character,
Speaker 1: which I think a lot of people are responding well to,
Speaker 1: which is awesome, Which why a show or film over
Speaker 1: the last few years, did you really gravitate towards You're like, Ooh,
Speaker 1: I'm into this.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be I couldn't get myself to stop
Speaker 2: watching Life with the Walter Boys. Honestly, not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: I kind of stay away from watching a lot of
Speaker 2: YA because I'm I've been in it, m you know interesting,
Speaker 2: I don't yeah, like it's almost like too close to home,
Speaker 2: like where I then start to overthink and I don't
Speaker 2: want to bring that in too work, which is also
Speaker 2: why I kind of watch reality TV because I'm like,
Speaker 2: it takes me out of the work. You do the
Speaker 2: work I do. Yeah, but I still get to like
Speaker 2: learn about people and some stories, right, I just get
Speaker 2: to see people be crazy.
Speaker 1: I think that's actually really interesting and I like that,
Speaker 1: and I think it's I like that, I'm here for it.
Speaker 1: We're keeping in it. That's okay, It's just the truth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, been a part of it.
Speaker 1: You don't think about it from a work perspective, but
Speaker 1: if you're in that world and doing it, you will.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be informed on how to do
Speaker 1: your job when you're in it.
Speaker 2: Now, you just don't think it and you get in
Speaker 2: your head and it's like I mean, but that's what
Speaker 2: also I've realized too, is like I'm the worst actor
Speaker 2: to interview ever because I don't I grew up watching
Speaker 2: movies and TV obviously, like that's it was a big
Speaker 2: inspiration for me. But my love for acting came from
Speaker 2: playing outside and having to like create scenarios and because
Speaker 2: I grew up on a farm in like yeah, the
Speaker 2: middle of nowhere, and that's like what I don't know
Speaker 2: sparked my love for acting. And then when I got
Speaker 2: into it, I for some reason, like I just I
Speaker 2: kind of stopped, which is really bad, but like I
Speaker 2: can do maybe a few movies a year, like like
Speaker 2: really sit down and like get through them. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: also because I end up feeling that like emotion that
Speaker 2: it gives me for like weeks on end, Like I
Speaker 2: still can't stop talking about Hamnet, Like I watched Hamnet
Speaker 2: and I I've watched it at least five times now,
Speaker 2: Like I am obsessed the same with scenes from a
Speaker 2: marriage like these I but I couldn't get out of
Speaker 2: bed for like two weeks after. I was literally like
Speaker 2: I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Speaker 1: But that's an aggressive movie to watch five times, but
Speaker 1: those I am drawn towards.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know why I want to break
Speaker 2: my own heart like tonight, like on a Thursday night,
Speaker 2: like what are you doing? But I do? And then yeah,
Speaker 2: and then I'm just like focused on that. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I also don't really want to. Yeah, like I'll I'll
Speaker 2: watch a few why are here and there? But yeah,
Speaker 2: I kind of want to stay away from It's the
Speaker 2: same way I feel with TV.
Speaker 1: And yeah, no, that makes total sense to.
Speaker 2: Get like fired from every job.
Speaker 1: No you are not. I think that's actually really interesting.
Speaker 1: And to wrap up rapid fire, let's bring it home
Speaker 1: with the reality TV question right now, maybe two. Are
Speaker 1: you a Housewives fan?
Speaker 2: Yes, but I haven't watched a lot of it.
Speaker 1: Your go to reality show is.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's hard. It used to be Bachelor Bachelorette. Have
Speaker 2: you seen fuck Boy Island?
Speaker 1: I have not that I've heard about it. Is it good?
Speaker 2: It is hilarious? Okay, Nikki uh Glazerah yeah she so
Speaker 2: she hosts it, so she's hilarious to begin with. But
Speaker 2: it's basically like there's I don't even like five five
Speaker 2: f boys and then like five nice guys. But they're
Speaker 2: all incognito and they're trying to like woo these three girls.
Speaker 2: And at the end they all stand there like it
Speaker 2: is I was dying laughing. They stand there and the
Speaker 2: girls like choose their guy and the guy reveals like,
Speaker 2: am I a nice guy or an F boy? And
Speaker 2: if they're an F boy and the girl gets it wrong,
Speaker 2: they send them to F boy prison and like like
Speaker 2: like to like to like heal them, and it's so funny.
Speaker 2: She goes nik, he goes F BOYF gone. And then
Speaker 2: they like have to go into like someone like they
Speaker 2: like put them into this like prison. And yeah, that
Speaker 2: was my that stuck out to me. Okay, I think
Speaker 2: they only did one season, oh maybe two, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know why based off that description. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it sounds fun. I will go watch. I really hope
Speaker 1: that you can bring an adaptation to the screen of that.
Speaker 1: And if you haven't written the script, write it and
Speaker 1: star in it, because you should be in that and
Speaker 1: play the nickyer. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: I want to play.
Speaker 1: Okay, you give me an boy, great, you give me
Speaker 1: an F boy. There we go. That's there we go.
