Q) What are the recent projects that you have been working on?

A) I’ve been working on “Roswell, New Mexico” on The CW.

 

Q) What made you want to be a part of the film Seduced By My Neighbor?

A) I loved the character. He’s kind of pathetic and sad. So, I could really relate to him! I knew I could find the humor in a character like that.

 

Q) How was your character originally described to you?

A) I don’t remember exactly. But I could tell from whatever description I got he was a disturbed individual. I instantly like him.

 

Q) Was there anything you added to the role that wasn’t in the initial breakdown?

A) Humor, I hope. I try to find humor in everything, every character, every scene. Ironically, it makes dramatic scenes even more effective but also makes the character more relatable.

 

Q) Were you familiar with any of your costars before working with them on the movie?

A) No. Never heard of any of them. I’m sure it was the same for them about me.

 

Q) What advice did the director, Sam Irvin, offer you during filming that you took to heart?

A) He was great. He offered no advice, which is exactly what I want. I want as little direction as possible, and that’s what the best directors I’ve worked with give.

 

Q) What were some of your favorite moments from filming or behind the scenes?

A) Cracking up during a scene and having to cut it always the most fun you can have. There was a scene we did in a car that we must have done ten takes of because we couldn’t keep it together from laughing.

 

Q) What do you hope viewers take away from watching the movie?

A) Just good fun. Maybe a laugh here and there.

 

Q) You are a part of social media. Are you excited to see the instant fan feedback you’ll receive to it?

A) I would be if I checked my social media! Thanks for reminding me. I’ll see if anybody gives me any feedback

 

Q) We’ll be seeing you in the upcoming series “Roswell, New Mexico.” What can you tease about the premise?

A) All I can tell you is I’m lucky enough to be playing a great character called Master Sgt. Manes. I’m the main antagonist in the show. It’s a great role and I’m having a ball playing it.

Here’s the longline: “After reluctantly returning to her tourist-trap hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, the daughter of undocumented immigrants discovers a shocking truth about her teenage crush who is now a police officer: he’s an alien who has kept his unearthly abilities hidden his entire life. She protects his secret as the two reconnect and begin to investigate his origins, but when a violent attack and long-standing government cover-up point to a greater alien presence on Earth, the politics of fear and hatred threaten to expose him and destroy their deepening romance. Based on the Roswell High book series by Melinda Metz.”

 

Q) You often take on dramatic roles. Is there something about this genre that draws you to it?

A) No. For some reason the genre is drawn to me. I’ve never said to myself, “I want to do dramas.” It’s just what I’ve been doing lately.

 

Q) What would you like to say to everyone who is a fan and supporter of you and the work that you do?

A) Very simply, thank you. I really appreciate you and I hope I’ve given you what you wanted.
