Calico cooper series#

Don’t get me wrong, TV series are great, but with web series (especially this one) I’m working with talented actors that I know and love, with messages I support, and I’m allowed to take risks and try things out as an actor because I’m in a nurturing environment. Web series are where it’s at because people all over the world can access it whenever they want it, when they wanna see it. How important a platform do you think they are for actors and writers? Web series are looking likely to be the future of television. So sometimes I have a hard time between takes talking to someone like Kristin Barker about her engagement and squealing like little girls, then on action I have to throw a box in her face and call her an idiot. I’m super tight with most of the cast as we were friends previously. We basically do a running comedy musical stage show until we are told to put a cork in it. Off screen Nathan (Ross) and I get along like gangbusters. What’s the atmosphere like on set when you’re shooting? When you want a deranged bitch from hell with a heart of gold, look no further than me. So auditions for some of the characters was not necessary. And in Ivana’s class you also learn their deepest darkest secrets. You see them knock scenes out of the park and you see them crash and burn. And you see their strengths and weaknesses. Because you see people put up scenes every week. You know, it’s funny… that’s the perfect place to cast from, is a class you’re in together for a long time. I got involved with Bloomers through being in scene study class with Fernanda and Matt. How did you originally get involved with Bloomers? They should definitely go on a bender in Tijuana together. I hope they discover those common bonds more in season 3. But Karen and Lila have similar character traits… they both get overlooked and go to extremes to fit in. Karen is sort of Lila without the self control and power elements. If you weren’t playing the role of Lila, which other character would you like to play in the show and why? She tries every now and then to fit in, but her abrasive personality makes her a bit of a turd in the punchbowl. But being surrounded by such a tight knit group of people that never include her, ya she feels the pinch. I’m sure Lila would like to believe she’s above needing anyone. Do you think there’s a part of her that wishes she was part of the group? It seems that Lila is on the outside of the central group of friends on Bloomers. And I think you see a lot more of her foibles this time around. In reality Lila isn’t all bad, you have to think that people that are that nasty, usually are masking lots of hurt and abandonment issues. A ball-busting, short-tempered, defensive, self righteous human.

But I think season 2 shows Lila as a little more of a human being. I am back for season 2 simply to make Ross’ life a living hell.

Lila has been making life hard for Ross so far hasn’t she? What else is in store for her this season? You’re back on Bloomers for the second season. But I feel that one pair a day is completely appropriate. I’m in New York working on a project AND going to a friends wedding AND going to another friends 30th birthday AND doing a one night appearance in my dad’s show while I’m here.
