What was it that made you get into acting?

Well, truthfully I never anticipated on becoming an actor. I just happen to be walking around the Chiller convention and got discovered. Ever since then I’ve acted and also starting writing and shooting my own movies etc. Now I act, write, direct and create set designs etc.

In the movie The Recovered you play a heavily medicated Beverly Sloan who is forced to come back to her hometown for her estranged mom’s funeral arrangements. While staying in your childhood home you are haunted by oppressed memories. Who was that man who lived in the woods?

ahhh the multi-million dollar question. The little girl in the flick is me as a child and the man in the woods is a very bad (stalker type) man- you always hear don’t talk to strangers, well he’s the stranger. He comes back for revenge.

We know from watching The Quest For Egg Salad that you have a sense of humor, did you ever hang out with Teen Ape

No I never did. I really don’t know much about him.

I didn’t know this but I was just sent The Drunken Dead Guy to review last week and you are in it. How did you become a player in this project?

John contacted me a while back to play a short cameo scene. At the time I lived in Jersey so it was easy for me to just meet up and do a quick cameo for his movie. It’s cool, the flick is funny

If you could switch places with any scream queen out there who would it be and why?

None of them to be honest – I kind of moved into a slightly different scene. I still do underground horror movies but I’ve been doing a lot more comedy and drama- oh yeah and action and that has been my goals. Plus I really am now into directing on a larger scale, I think I’m gonna stay me and not switch out- haha Can I switch with a director?

Do you have a favorite horror movie? I am learning that not all actresses in the horror business like scary movies for their own entertainment.

This is true but I do have some fav’s. The Shinning and Jacob’s Ladder (in horror) and Muholand Drive… but I really like other movies like True Romance or who knew, Blade Runner ;)

There is a poll going on asking whether Jason, Freddy, or Michael Myers is your favorite, which box would you check?

I’d leave it blank… oh boy did I just do that?

If you could star in a remake of your all time favorite film or play, which would it be and why?

I really liked True Romance. Alabama Whirly… I liked her role in the film and there is a wide range of acting in it which I really like a lot. The role has some parts that I can relate to. I just happen to really like that movie ;)

As a teen, did you have any out of control crushes on any actors?

No. Musicians yes, but I can’t remember who…. Hmmm?

If you were broken down on an old abandoned dirt road, who would your companion be and why?

A machete… I need to eat and do much better alone in this situation. I cut things down and build shelter kill some things then I can use it to pick my teeth afterwards(get all that meat out). It come in handy for negotiating, it’s my peacemaker. My machete’s name is George and he doesn’t talk back and guns run out of bullets
