Q) What was it like getting to work with director Zoe Robyn and what kind of guidance did she provide?

 

A) Zoe was an absolute dream to work with. Not only is she a tall, hot ass woman, but she is such a talented director. As an actor, it is so freeing to work with someone that allows you to play and gives direction when you feel lost. She is an actor’s director and I feel so privileged I get to work with her.

 

Q) David has been an interesting distraction for V. For those who are just getting into the series, will David drive a bigger wedge between Shane and V?

 

A) Well, once V walks in on David and Jenna (Jenny Raven) getting it on, shit gets real! [laughs] Kidding! (Or am I?) Let’s just say David turns out to be very interesting for V and you will want to keep watching!

 

Q) What was it like filming in such a small space and what were some of the challenges?

 

A) As you can probably tell, I am tall and with my long limbs it can make small spaces harder to navigate, (bull in a china shop, anyone?) especially in the office scenes I had to do with Andy McQueen who plays Andrew. There are some funny outtakes of me trying to get out of the chairs and hop over everything/everyone. To say the least, our cast got quite close.

 

Q) It seems like everything is unraveling after V’s disclosure to Shane, what or who is going to be her anchor?

 

A) The best thing about playing V was her evolution in finding herself. She becomes her own anchor as she gains momentum and gets the hang of Fixing. But Andrew is always there for V and is probably her biggest support.

 

Q) Have you been enjoying the instant fan feedback social media provides?

 

A) Totally! It’s so great to hear that people love the show and love the direction the show is going. Seeing the comments, including fan art and feedback, has been so rewarding and I am really appreciative of the support.

 

Q) We found out V’s father was once a Fixer, is this more motivation to complete her missions and get 100, or is it the straw to turn to Will’s outlaw lifestyle?

 

A) I loved when I read that in the script. It was such a great twist! I think her finding out that her father was a Fixer makes it much more personal to her and she realizes that the stakes are high! I don’t want to give anything away, but you will be seeing Will…why? For those who haven’t yet gotten to this part of the series, you’d better stay tuned!

 

Q) For those who haven’t seen the finale, will The Sixth Floor dynamics be shifting or changing between V/Andy/Jenna?

 

A) I hear that everyone has been wanting a little more V/Jenna and I will tell you that you will for sure get some of that! In what capacity? I won’t say. But things are always moving and shifting on The Sixth Floor. That’s the beauty of it! Who knows what’s going to happen!

 

Q) What have you learned and taken away from your experiences working on the show and the themes it centers around?

 

A) First and foremost, the amazing friendships I have taken away from working with the cast and crew have been so incredible. They are such funny, sweet, talented people and they made every day on set fly by. Working in this type of medium has been interesting, too. Since we work with a locked camera, we get to play with the scene and whatever happens, happens! This is incredibly daunting at first but once you get your groove going, it’s a blast! Andy is constantly cracking me up, which helps.

 

Q) Is there anything you can tease or share about the season finale, for those who haven’t yet watched it?

 

A) First off, check out my outfit in the final episode! It is by far my favorite of the season. Our costume designer Judith Ann Clancy is amazing and she killed it on that show, making me look badass (It takes a village from when I walk in at 7 AM). Secondly, I will say that the ending may surprise you and it’s going to make you want more V Morgan Is Dead! Mostly because I really want to find out what happens, too.

 

Q) What do you hope that fans take away from watching V Morgan Is Dead?

 

A) The central theme in V Morgan is the idea of choice. You see that you choose your own path; how you want to shape your life. I love the idea of taking control of your life regardless of what people think you should or should not do. Follow your dreams, people! Find the path that works for you. And if you want a tattoo (or ten), get them!
