1. What was your favorite part of working on Deadtime Stories?

Deadtime Stories was such a fun project to work on. I think that my favorite part would just have to be getting to know everyone else on set. I loved being able to interact with my fellow co-stars, and I feel like we all instantly became family. I also loved being able to chit-chat with the props manager, the hair stylists, and the crew. They had a laid back atmosphere on set, so I think we all immediately got comfortable being there.

 

2. What was it like working on A Matter of Choice?

The film A Matter of Choice is very serious, and it revolves around a rather touchy subject – sexual abuse. Overall, it was emotional. Every scene contained lots of crying, so in between takes we did whatever we could to get out of character. I know it seems strange to want to get out of character, but we weren’t going to let a bunch of tears ruin our day. We still laughed, smiled, and had tons of fun.

 

3. How did you enjoy filming your Nutrigrain commercial?

The Nutrigrain commercial was very interesting. It was to air around Halloween, and the theme was vampires. We were positioned at a bus stop. The vampire siblings were sitting on one end of the bench, and the normal kids (us) were standing by the other end. The Director wanted us to react to the vampires. We had to look totally freaked out, but in a calm, quiet way! It was actually super funny.

 

4. What was it like working on Comedy Bang! Bang?

Comedy Bang! Bang! was really cool. I played Little Reggie, who if you don’t know is Reggie Watts – a 6 foot tall MAN! The joke was that before he goes on camera, he’s a little girl. Once he’s done with all of his makeup, he’s transformed into a grown man. So – I go into the make-up chair – and he comes out!!! Scott Aukerman was super nice and he’s a hilarious person. Hopefully, I’ll be able to work with him again!

 

5. How cool was it getting to be on Hell’s Kitchen?

Hell’s Kitchen was SO much fun! I ran a 3k marathon along with a bunch of other runners and Chef Ramsey. Chef Ramsey is very athletic, and he’s very kind in person! He was great with the little kids. Then afterwards, we actually got to eat at Hell’s Kitchen! The food was delicious!

 

6. Do you have a favorite event you’ve attended?

I think the premiere for Deadtime Stories would have to be my favorite. We actually had the screening at their casting office, and everyone involved in The Witching Game episode showed up! We watched the whole episode for the first time, and it looked amazing! It was so awesome seeing my friends and myself on the screen.

 

7. What was your favorite part of filming your NBC pilot?

My favorite part would have to be being able to sing every day. I love to sing! We worked on the pilot for about 10 days. Each day, we rehearsed and recorded for our singing scenes. Then we filmed. I hadn’t really had any major singing roles, other than on The Young and the Restless – so it was really exciting singing on the pilot! It was also a lot of fun working with everyone! Craig Robinson, Steve Pink, Jean Smart, Amandla Stenberg – They were all wonderful!

 

8. What was the experience like narrating the film Finish Line?

I am the narrator and “host” of the film – and I actually haven’t narrated the film yet. Right now, they are filming with Liz Ferro and her Girls with Sole program – raising awareness of physical and emotional abuse of teen girls. I’m scheduled to start meeting the girls the beginning of next year. I’m thrilled to be a part of this project!

 

9. Who have been some of your favorite people to work with this year?

I really enjoyed working with Craig Robinson, (From The Office), and Amandla Stenberg (Rue From the Hunger Games), on the pilot. They’re both very kind and talented! Craig is hilarious, and Amandla is one of the sweetest people ever. I remember when we first started filming at the school; Amandla and I were sitting together in the classroom. In between takes, Amandla and I would burst out laughing because Craig was just so funny!

 

10. What has been your favorite project to work on this year?

It’s hard to choose a favorite, but working on 47 Ronin was definitely one of them! 47 Ronin is a feature film based upon the Japanese samurai. It’s going to come to theatres on Christmas Day! I did ADR work in the film. I’m Teenage Mika’s voice. I had to use a Japanese accent, which was super fun. I’ve done a Chinese accent in other projects, but not a Japanese one – so it was different for me! The movie looks incredible, and I can’t wait to watch it with my family on Christmas!

 

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I wish everyone Happy Holidays!

 

We’d like to thank Victoria for participating in this year’s Holiday Q&A Event!
