How's your recently announced "Pan Am" role different from what you've done before?

What's Michael Mosley [who plays co-pilot Ted Vanderway] like to work with?


"Pan Am" is my first experience shooting an arc on a television series. TV is very different from film, so I'm enjoying that new experience. And I've never played a character from the 60s before.

It's a fascinating role to step into, experiencing everything from the wardrobe to the political and social issues of that era. So far, I've only shot a couple scenes with Michael, but he's fantastic to play opposite of, and was very welcoming to the new girl!







What was the main difference between shooting TV over films?


The biggest difference is probably the time. With TV, you shoot through the episodes at a pretty rapid pace, so there isn't as much time to talk through your character and the scenes with the director as there is in film.

On a movie, you might spend months prepping a character and breaking down each scene. It's not that one forum is better or worse, it's just a different experience.

It's taught me the value of exploring both film and TV as I grow professionally.







Would you consider becoming a regular on a TV series?


For me, it's always about my connection with the character and the story. If the right role comes along, be it film or TV, I'd go after it wholeheartedly.
