Favorite Moment On Set:

The moment that comes to mind is: I'm lying on a blanket in the basement of the old armory building freezing my arse off in what can't be more than 20 degree cold. It's the last day of shooting and we have to pick up one last heartfelt closeup. There's no time to rehearse - we need it in one take, and for some reason it all just becomes uncontrollably funny to me. I hold it in and Jeff calls "action!" I deliver the line and promptly lose it at the sound of my character's gruff voice. Jeff calls "cut," the crew sighs with disappointment, and I can't stop giggling like a schoolgirl. "I don't know how to do this," I say. That's when David leans down to me and says,"Act!" The next take was a keeper.

Anything Else:

I am currently remodeling my first home that I share with my four-year old boxer named Pumpkin who's the love of my life. I love old country music and old pickups.  The dream is a big ranch with a family on it someday and too many dogs. THANKS JEFF AND CULLY IT WAS COLD BUT FUN
