Sam McCarthy – Goosebumps: The Vanishing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NsYcYtDBtc Were you a Goosebumps reader at all as a kid? My mother [Carol Schneider] narrates audio books. So my first time getting exposed to Goosebumps, she was narrating the audio book for Night of the Living Dummy; that was put into my psyche growing up. But I wasn’t a big, hardcore fan. Disney/Francisco…

Kayla Wallace – Landman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zxh49-bsIk&t=7s Taylor Sheridan is one of the most prolific and popular TV creators working today. What was it like learning you’d nabbed a role on one of his shows? It’s definitely a core memory. My husband [fellow actor Kevin McGarry] was filming me as I found out. I missed a call from Taylor Sheridan,…

Brian Scudamore – Dragon’s Den

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGA19xSfdBc Was it intimidating at all being the new Dragon in the Den? I was overwhelmed . . . It was really strange. They don’t give you training when you become a Dragon. You just show up and you’re like, “How do I do this?” So, in the breaks, sitting beside Manjit [Minhas] and…

Logan Ury – The Later Daters

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PutwAZwHIk8 What are the things that make dating harder as we get older, and what are the things that maybe make it easier? In terms of what makes dating easier, I think people know themselves better than they do in their 20s. They have an easier time identifying what they want, and asking for…

Accused – Vella Lovell & Cobie Smulders

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVKDuNjzf30 You’ve both been on long-running shows. Was it a fun change of pace creatively to do an anthology-style gig? COBIE: It was really interesting showing up to a set where the crew were the ones who knew everybody and we were the newbies. It’s like shooting a movie in a very short amount…

Star Trek: Lower Decks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jTyLSP-sTM Did you all know season five was the end before you started recording? JACK: It could go other places, so we’re trying not to think of this as “the end.” We’re trying to think of it as, hopefully, a pause. But we didn’t really know; it was a tough thing to hear, to…

Laysla De Oliveira – Special Ops: Lioness

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc1Basl-pMU Cruz ended season one on a very uncertain note. Was it always made clear to you that she’d be coming back? I’m going to be honest with you. We sign the contracts that we sign going into the show, so I had no idea that I wouldn’t be coming back for season two…

Jonny Harris – Still Standing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRkVURD9UXQ Now being 10 seasons in, do you feel like you’ve more or less “captured” Canada . . . or could you do another 10 and not even scratch the surface? The latter. Definitely “Answer B.” We could easily do another 10. People often say: “When are you going to run out of towns?” And…

Sacha Baron Cohen – Disclaimer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so6XoqZgbVM Beneath the pulpy mystery aspect of this series, what deeper themes are being explored in Disclaimer? I think there’s the question of truth, fact, lies . . . the ease that it is to believe something because of your own biases — and the danger of that. Also, it’s sort of exploring outrage;…

David Morrissey – Sherwood

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPxWT-jpM2Q When you first told people you were working on a show called Sherwood, would you inevitably have to explain that, no, it’s not a new Robin Hood? Yeah, exactly. The word “Sherwood” has massive connotations to it. But I think that’s deliberate on [creator James Graham’s] part. He’s playing on the idea of…
