I was in an anatomy class, and I just told the teacher that I had to leave. She’s great to be on set with, because we’re able to really kick butt and work hard, but also have fun.Įntry into acting: In my junior year of college at the University of Connecticut, I was studying to be a physical therapist. As soon as that scene was done, we went right back to goofing around. When we were doing the party scene where Dina and Syd first kiss, it was so professional. She does need to realize her worth, though.įavorite thing about working with Sophia Lillis: She’s so funny and kind, and I think she’s über-talented. She’s very honest and such a warmhearted girl. What I love about her is her willingness to always help people. That was my moment where I was like, Oh, I can do this.įavorite thing about Dina: As I read the script, I fell in love with Dina because she is completely like one of my best friends. I started doing theater, and from there I was like, Hey, let’s try TV and film.įirst screen role: The Good Wife. It definitely brought me out of my shell, and, of course, introduced me to acting. I was expecting it to be a visual arts camp, but on the first day, I came to find it was a musical theater camp. You get a lot of “no’s.” It should be a job that feels like a hobby.Įntry into acting: When I was moving back to New York from Finland, I didn’t really know anyone, so my mom signed me up for an arts camp. I think I communicated that well in Stanley.Īdvice for aspiring actors: Well, going back to rejection, I would say to get prepared for rejection, because it’s not an easy industry. So in that last episode where Sydney finally says, “Hey, I like you, just not in that way,” that was a very familiar place for me to get into. I definitely have a lot of experience with rejection. I feel like everyone has at one point or another, and I’m no different. Stanley doesn’t abide by any of that, and he’s able to be free and kind of an old soul. He isn’t weighed down by normal things a high schooler would be weighed down by, like popularity and clout and where you stand on the social ladder. And his sense of freedom and self-love is really strong. I mean, obviously one of my favorite things about him is his fashion. Wait, no, I can make good Rice Krispie treats as well.įavorite thing about Stanley: I relate to him on a lot of levels. Any kind of creative expression, I enjoy.Ĭooking skills: I mean, I can make a mean quesadilla, but I can’t do much more than that unless I’m following pretty strict instructions. I play a lot of games with my friends online, and I have a YouTube channel where I post dumb videos. I still can’t draw faces correctly, but we’re getting there. I’m not that good, but I think it’s good for expression. The way she tries to keep everything together, I love it. But through it all, she keeps a positive attitude and tries her best to fix everything. She also has these superpowers that are very dangerous, that she doesn’t know how to control. She seems kind of negative at first - like this regular, angry teenager - but you get to know her, and you get to see that she’s going through a lot. I’m that kind of person.įavorite thing about Sydney Novak: I like how she tries really hard and she doesn’t seem to ever really give up. I don’t really have a good memory, though, so I’ll probably forget the secret once you tell me. On keeping secrets: I think I can keep a secret. Before I knew it, it turned into something I could actually live off of, which I never knew I could do.įirst screen role: It was in an N.Y.U. It slowly turned into more of a job later on because I started doing N.Y.U. I wasn’t really the most outgoing and extroverted type of person. That’s definitely the smarter way to go.Įntry into acting: When I first started acting, it was something I did as a pastime. But if I’m stuck on a desert island, maybe a survivalist’s diary. Desert island reading: I really love The Neverending Story. That was one of my favorite books as a kid, and I still like it now.
