STAR-KIDZ EXCLUSIVES

1. How fun was it to film the play scenes on Parenthood with so many kids?

It was awesome; I made lots of new friends! Dancing with so many kids, learning the steps and then doing the show was a blast. It was kind of like really being in a school play.

2. What was your first day on set of Parenthood like?

Being on Parenthood the first day was LOTS of school…then we began rehearsing the play for the filming later that week. It was also the first time I got to work for a whole week on one show. That was really special.

3. Did you get a chance to spend time with the other kids behind the scenes?

Yes, I did. We got to do school together and play at break time. We played chase and I had just gotten a new ipad…Tyree, Jasmine and a bunch of us played Plants vs Zombies and other cool games…it’s really fun working with lots of other kids like that.

4. What was your favorite part of shooting Conan?

Conan was my first job with a studio audience.. I rehearsed in the afternoon and stayed to tape the live show later. They let me keep the birthday hat too!.

5. What was the best part of filming How I Met Your Mother?

How I Met Your Mother was my first job on a Lot, which was a GREAT experience, all of my other jobs had been on location. I even got my own dressing room for the very first time…very, very fancy. Getting to work on Stage 22 with Alyson Hannigan, Jason Segel and the whole crew, was really thrilling. Doing my off camera line was a lot of fun, everyone applauded when I was finished and Jason Segel said “That was awesome, I’m a big fan, can I take a picture with you!” I was so surprised… how nice is THAT? I got to stay and have lunch and they gave me some of the Halloween candy from the scene too!

6. What was filming United States of Tara like?

HOT! Very, very hot indeed…around 100…but it was worth and I got to work with the whole cast. It was an honor to meet them all.

7. Do you ever get nervous singing the National Anthem in front of big crowds?

NO WAY! Definitely not! I have no stage fright… I love it!!

8. Who have been some of your favorite people to work with?

The Middle was an epic week! I had the most amazing trailer (another dream come true) and I loved being a part of that cast…Playing the great part of Lucy and getting to be a bit of a brat was FUN! Working with the fantastic cast and crew, especially my new friend and TV cousin Atticus Shaffer, he is so talented. Working with my new TV mom Molly Shannon, (my sister and I love her as Mary Catherine Gallagher), not to mention Patricia Heaton as my Aunt Frankie, Marsha Mason and Jerry Van Dyke as my Grandparents, Neil Flynn as my Uncle Mike, and Charlie McDermott and Eden Sher as my cousins…WOW..right? Playing the part of Lucy was a week I’ll never forget.

9. Do you have a favorite memory from filming The Lost Medallion?

I got to play a foster kid named Lisa, which was kinda special to me. We are best friends with a family that fosters children, and usually then adopts them. Those kids are my best friends! I love them, so it was nice to play a good foster kid, because the friends I have are the best people ever. I also got to meet Sammi Hanratty who stars in the film; she came by the set and hung out while we filmed the wrap-around.

10. What has been your favorite project to shoot?

How To Get To Candybar was my favorite job. It was VERY hard work LATE at night till 12am.. and HOT, I had to wear full snow clothes in 100 degree weather. LOL…but it was the most fun I’ve EVER had, fake snow, beach scenes, airports. It was worth being tired and being baked like a potato, because I loved my part and my costars, Raymond Ochoa, Brooke Boyd, Lance Nichols, and Mr. August the director. They were all so good! … I love them all and I will never forget making that movie. You know you don’t really care if it was hard work or not because its so much FUN! Being a lead in a movie was my dream. I cried when we wrapped the movie at El Matador Beach.

What is coming up for you?

I am heading to NYC for four days. I am so honored to have a callback for the role of Annie in the Broadway production of Annie. I have dreamed of going to New York and dreamed of playing Annie since I was 2…I’m just so excited to be considered and can’t wait to go on the trip next week…we are going to stay an extra day, have lunch at The Plaza and visit The Natural History Museum!

We’d like to thank Marlowe and her family for participating in this year’s Holiday Q&A event!
