Both Justified and Short Term 12 were two things that I really felt like, oh, I'm finally getting to get down to the stuff I really like to do, which is like play a person that feels really, really different for me. And I think that that's what I always want to do and I want to continue to do that.
And seek those kinds of things out because I think it's such a honestly like really therapeutic for me as a person. But justified really felt like. um, a show that I like really enjoyed. And like, I also was so like aware of just how I, I was like 14 when I 13, 14 when I did the show or when I started it. And I was really aware of the fact that like, Oh, this is, these are some cool people.
And like, these are, I'm around all these really cool adults and I'm going to, I'm learning a lot. And I was sort of like a sponge on that set, just really taking everything in and,
and getting to like do a scene with margo martindale was sort of like just just so crazy and i think i was like not old enough to have seen any of the like any of the actors work necessarily so i was just meeting them as people and i was just like in awe of all of them um And I was, yeah, I was, like, doing accent work for the first time.
And, like, I remember the snacks were really good on the show. And, like, catering was really good. And my dad would come to set with me, and he really liked the catering. It was just like a... It was really like also just a really wonderful experience.
And I felt like, oh, wow, I'm I still to this day think it was like Justified and Booksmart and maybe Dopesick were like my favorite sets that I've ever been on.
I think at certain moments they definitely, like, you can feel the energy shift. And that is another, like, powerful thing about, you know, making movies and TV is that shift. When you're actually, like, making it, like, in real time, people are, like, kind of, still and respectful and like actually watching the scene play out real time in real time. I think that that's a really cool experience.
I don't know. I don't think it really changed the, the energy on, on set as a whole necessarily. But on something like, like that in particular, that, that job in particular, it was kind of, wild to be doing those kinds of scenes, and they are, it is a very, like, Betsy's storyline is very dark and so heartbreaking and sad. I had a lot of people coming up
to me sharing their own stories with addiction and just telling me how grateful they are that this show is being put on a platform like Hulu and the world is really going to see the injustice of this and I think that that was the coolest thing for me as an actor to sort of have those real in-person experiences with people I was actually making the show with it was like whoa this is a big deal
Oh, wow.
Yes, I am.
I really... It was such a cool experience. It really was. It was such a privilege to get to kind of step into this new world that is so loved, so deeply loved by so many people who are fans of the game. And then there is a whole group of people that are also just fans of the show who haven't played the game.
so it really is so it feels so massive and that's the first time i've really ever done something like that and to get to be a part of that is really cool um and my dad is a really big fan of the video game oh really yeah he loves the video game so much so getting to like take on the role of abby he was like so stoked that i got this part um
And yeah, I think I, I, it was a crazy, honestly, to be quite honest on this podcast here, I, it was, it came into my life at a really crazy, really just insane time. I had, I had lost my mom back in February of last year and I was, I like had already started prep on this show and before my mom had passed and then she passed away and then I had to literally like go and shoot right after.
And I was like, it was such a, it was such a, like truly such a whirlwind. And, but I remember talking to my dad about like having to go to work after something so catastrophic and, And my dad was like, I don't think there's a group of people that could have been better for, to like carry you through that time.
It truly was like, it really felt like I was being carried through in such a gentle and beautiful way. And I don't, Yeah, I don't know what that would have been like had it been another job, truly. I loved the group of people that I got to work with. Craig Mazin is amazing. Neil Druckmann is incredible. Bella is so sweet. And Pedro, I just, yeah.
Pedro, I really, really connected with him in a really big way. He seems awesome, yeah. He's everything you want him to be and more. I mean, truly, what a special human being.
I had already played the game. I think what was cool about kind of the Craig Mazin's and Neil Druckmann's approach was that they really want to capture the essence of the video game. But also, I think that they weren't really concerned or worried about... I mean, their main concern was just capturing the essence and capturing the emotion of of the characters.
And, um, I thought that that was like a really cool way to do it because there, there is one version where you're just like doing a carbon copy of, of the video game. But then like, why would you make the TV show then?
Yeah.
