Which role/project has been your favorite? Why?
|
It's kind of difficult to specify which role has been my favorite. With
each character that I have played so far, I have brought a bit of myself
into it, and so it seems hard to choose only one of them. One of the more
challenging roles I have played was that of an immigrant Irish worker, Mary
Driscoll, from the 1860's. I had to speak in a rough Irish accent, and for
me, thinking about the accent and not the intent of the scene was a great
challenge. Aside from that, no favorite character.
Note: the Mary Driscoll role was in "Dear America: So Far from Home"

What sort of hobbies do you have these days? I heard in one of your interviews that they don't let you snowboard or anything of the sort, so what do you do for fun?
|
It is true that, while I am under contract, I am unable to snowboard or do
other activities which can put my physical well-being in jeopardy, so between
April and December, my snowboarding is off-limits. But I do snowboard while
I am not working. I am still finishing my course work for my degree, so that
seems to be my only other hobby as of late.

What are your favourite books? movies? TV shows? music/bands? food? On the subject of food, Amanda Zimm eventually became a vegetarian. Are you a vegetarian?
|
Favourite books - hard to pin it down to a few, but my favorite series has
to be by author Sandra Gulland - she wrote the memoirs of Josephine
Bonaparte. Another great book to check out is Life After God by Douglas
Coupland, and my all-time favorite author is Michel de Montaigne, an
essayist from 16th-century France.
Favourite movies include 'Tous les Matins du Monde', 'Sense and Sensibility',
'The Color of Paradise', 'Monty Python: The Search for the Holy Grail', and
the recently-released 'Amelie'. FYI - 'Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship
of the Ring' is awesome too!
Favourite TV Show - I don't have a TV so I'm not too sure about regular
programming, but I do like 'Jackass' on MTV, and I love "Fawlty Towers". And
"ED".
Favourite Music - I listen to everything but country. Faves are Radiohead,
The Tragically Hip, Ben Harper, Loreena McKennitt, and French renaissance
composers Marin Marais and Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe.
Fave Food - sushi.
So, no, I am not vegetarian... tried once, but it was too hard to
supplement.
