Being the massive Jesse Hutch fan that I am, I first noticed Lilah Fitzgerald on the Hallmark film Harvest Moon. This past summer, Lilah happened to join twitter, and that gave me the opportunity to contact her for an interview. Upon researching her career, I realized that I had seen her during the first season of When Calls the Heart as well, but I hadn't made the connection at that time. This past summer, Lilah and her mom were gracious enough to sit and discuss Lilah's career so far in the acting business, and I am so excited to finally share it with my readers!
RH: Why did you decide to become an actress?
LF: When I was four, I told my mom I wanted to become an actress. My mom said I had to wait and do a year of musical theater before …show more content…
She said I needed an agent. I asked if she could help get me an agent, and so we did. I think that if my mom and I knew what we were really getting into, we may not have decided to pursue it. There was a lot more work involved in becoming an actor than we realized. I remember that we had to drive over the mountains in the winter, and sometimes it took six hours. We finally moved to Vancouver. I think we were ready for the big city. My sister was older and ready for a change too. Now we have moved to LA, and I absolutely love it. We've lived here a little over a year. I love summer, and it's always summer here!
I actually remember you from Harvest Moon.
That was such an awesome experience. Did you know that during the filming of Harvest Moon, there was an actual harvest moon? Pretty cool, huh? I also got to work with director Peter DeLuise. He’s a big director, but not a scary one. He would work with me on my lines. In fact, he would read the other lines while we were practicing, and it helped me so much. And Jesse Hutch and I used to be neighbors. We lived in the same complex, so when we got to set, it was like, "Hey, I know you." It's always nice to already have a connection when you arrive on a set rather than having to create one.
Hearties will remember you from When Calls the Heart. How did you get to be on that
