Informative Essay On Becoming An Actress

Superior Essays
You know how I 'm always saying that I make it a point to feature the actors and actresses who are not as well-known? Well,this is one time, I do believe, that I struck gold. Some time ago, I noticed Jordana Largy in the film Anything For Love. I contacted her back then for an interview. Since that time, she has been working quite steadily. From supporting character to lead--pretty amazing! Thankfully, I caught up with Jordana during a somewhat recent downtime of hers to chat with her about her fast-blossoming career from its origins to her current works (which seem to be increasing by the day at a staggering pace).

jl2RH: What inspired you to become an actress?

JL: Well, I never did think about becoming an actress when I was growing up.

I really do like to figure out what make people tick. But I dropped out of college--the pull of acting was just too strong. Then I headed off to the Vancouver Lyric School of Acting, and I also studied at the Railtown Actor Studio. I was put on the six month fast-track program. I am happy to report that I absolutely love theater scripts.

Since you now have worked with Hallmark on several films, what do you like about working for them?

Hallmark has the nicest bunch of people working for them. They always hire such a fabulous cast and crew for every one of their productions. It 's like a family, and everyone always enjoys working together each and every day. But you can always count on some great play time as well. Even when you 're a minor cast member, you are guaranteed to have a great day. I 've worked on many other shows for a variety of networks, and unfortunately, sometimes you are not treated as well as you are at Hallmark, especially if you 're not one of the main

So funny. But seriously, I don 't think anything bad happened this time. There is a scene where everyone was on pins and needles when he is in a fire escape--when you see the film, you 'll know what I mean--and everyone was expecting something bad to happen. But I 'm happy to report that no, Dylan didn 't injure himself. I do remember that he had a bad cold, however. It lasted for a week, but he pushed though it.

Do you have any other works coming up that you can mention?

Jordana-Largy-620x337Oh, my goodness, yes, so many! Let me start with Stranger in The House, which already aired on Lifetime. I had no idea it was airing until the day it was on. You might be able to catch it on a rerun. It starred some amazing people that Hallmark people might know: Emmanuelle Vaugier, Matthew MacCaull, Karen Holness, Dan Payne. If you get a chance, be sure to check it out. In fact, it is reairing on Lifetime Movie Network on July 9.

I also have a movie with Shenae Grimes-Beech and Samantha Ferris called Newlywed and Dead. I just found out that it will be airing on Lifetime Movie Network on July 2, so be sure to look it

    Once in awhile, there is a name that just embeds itself in my brain and I cannot seem to obliterate it. Interestingly enough, it just so happens that Preston Vanderslice is one of those names. Thankfully, he is more than just a memorable name as he is a noteworthy actor as well. I first noticed him in Love By Chance, and it seems as though Hallmark, amongst other things, is slowly beginning to learn and take advantage of his potential as an artist. Recently, I had the opportunity to ask him a few questions (and completely misread one of his credits--keep reading, you 'll understand what I mean), and he was kind enough to respond with a little insight into his career and even expound a bit upon his outlook on this polymorphous industry.…
