![]() It’s hard to talk about even with my friends. There is still this stigma in society that because it is in your head or that you can’t see it, it’s not there or that you’re weak. Mental health is definitely an issue that I feel very strongly about. More importantly, this past summer we lost a family member to suicide. I have family members that have things like OCD and family members that have suffered from depression and even substance abuse. Once Upon A Time In Deadwood arrives on DVD November 19th, 2019.I was diagnosed formally about four years ago with a General Anxiety Disorder (GAD). I’m shifting my focus and I’m looking for more comedic type of roles. I really want to stay focused on comedic things. If someone comes to me, asking if I want to be a part of this, I’ll say yes. I have enjoyed every single project that I have ever done with him! He constantly creates projects that have depth and are fun. That’s the reason why I like working with Jeff Miller. As I become busier in my daily life, I have less room for projects that go nowhere. I personally want to be part of projects that move my career forward. If you’re starting out, and if you don’t know it’s something you want to do, do everything! Try it all! ![]() There was a point in my life where I just wanted to build my resume. At this point in my career, I’m more interested in quality projects. I don’t know if I’m going to take it or not. With this particular film, I really enjoyed the cast and the production. That’s one of my favorite things about it. Working on any of these projects for me is about meeting people on set. I always love to talk to people, like Michael about his past and what he wants for the future and what he’s been through. LC: I think if you do any kind of project, you grow as an artist. VM: How did Once Upon A Time In Deadwood change you as an artist? It was making it easier to play a character. LC: I think any time you put a costume on, and you have a role to play, it adds to the role. Tell me about how the outfit added to the performance. VM: Not only is this a western, it’s also a costume drama. I think acting afraid is just encountering a truth that I lived and making it come to life, in a different scenario. I’ve had those feelings, even though I’m making it up in my head. Even being lost in a foreign country, or walking in a dark alley, you can imagine in your head how scary that can be. Whenever I’m afraid, I go to a part of my life where I have been afraid. You have to find something you can relate to. Any time you indulge in acting in one of those ways, you have to pull from truth. Acting in love, acting in tears, acting happy, acting sad - all of that is really basic training. I think acting afraid involves all the basic emotions. If I can’t act afraid, I shouldn’t be an actress. VM: Was it a challenge being scared, or pretending to be, by Michael Paré? Abigale is incredibly frightened by the menace of Swearengen. The experience of working with him was really cool. LC: Michael’s really cool! And he’s an amazing actor because as a person, he’s not frightening at all. VM: Tell me about working with Michael Paré, who plays Swearengen, She wants to make sure that they’re safe. And that was very interesting! While she’s going through the stress of being being held captive, she’s also super concerned about somebody else. I thought it was cool that she gets kidnapped, she’s also trying to protect the little girl. LC: I guess I liked the adventure aspect. VM: What I loved about Abigale is that even though she is a prisoner, she still acts motherly and caring towards Daisy. ![]() He called me up for this one and asked if I would be in it.
