2013 – Mackenzie Aladjem

Mackenzie Aladjem played the role of Miranda Montgomery on All My Children. This year she was seen as Charlotte on Parenthood, did an episode of Grey’s Anatomy and shot the pilot for the upcoming series About A Boy. To keep up to date make sure to follow her on Twitter, and like her page on Facebook!

 

1. How have you enjoyed filming About a Boy so far?

So far they have only shot the pilot. The pilot was a lot of fun. We shot a few days on location in San Francisco. We were able to see a little of the city one day before shooting-that was great! It was fun staying in a hotel and hanging with Makenzie, who plays my little sister. It was a nice change being the big sister!

 

2. What is it like working with Benjamin Stockham?

I only worked with Benjamin for a couple days, He is nice and really funny.

 

3. What was your favorite part of filming Grey’s Anatomy?

Grey’s was a fun set. Tanner and Herbie were both great to work with. Herbie is a little crazy, ha ha! I liked that one of the scenes was an emotional one.

 

4. What is it like playing a character like Fiona for three plus years now?

I love Fiona! She is so light-hearted and fairly innocent-especially next to her sister, Grace. Nurse Jackie only shoots 3 months out of the year, so it is exciting coming back every year. Since we are away from the show for so long, it is interesting to see the growth in the characters each season.

 

5. What has been your favorite scene to film for Nurse Jackie this upcoming season?

We had fun this year shooting a scene that involved shopping. I can’t give details, but Ruby and I certainly enjoyed ourselves.

 

6. What is the best part about working with Ruby Jerins?

It would be hard to pick what the best part is. The few months we are together, we really feel like sisters. She is a great big sister! I enjoy watching her work-she is really talented (as is everyone). Our favorite part is probably when we get to head to crafty or make videos!!

 

7. Is there anyone on the show that you have yet to work with but would like to?

I have never really spent too much time at the hospital. Last year there was an episode with Thor (Stephen Wallem) singing. I love to sing and dance (as does Ruby). I think it would be great to do an entire musical episode, with Fiona and Grace and the rest of the cast! Hope the writers are reading this!!!!

 

8. What has it been like working on Parenthood this season?

Parenthood is a fun, supportive set. The kids (Savannah, Tyree, Xolo and Niko) are easy to work. I think even if we hadn’t worked together, they would be people I would like to have as friends. We enjoy ourselves when the camera stop rolling (especially when the ice cream truck arrives!). Everyone I have worked with so far on the show have been very sweet. Many of the crew members also worked on About A Boy, so it was nice working with them again.

 

9. What do you miss most about playing the part of Miranda?

There is so much-I don’t know how to pick what I miss most. I guess it would be all the people. Everyone involved in AMC was special. It truly felt like a family-from crew, cast, producers, casting, etc. It reminded me of when I did the Annie tour. Theatre is such a bonding experience and working on AMC felt a lot like that. It’s nice running into people after not seeing them for awhile. When in NYC we like to see Alicia Minshew. We rented Natalie Hall’s apt this year while we were filming Nurse Jackie and while she was filming Starcrossed. For the SAG awards, Valerie (the best hairdresser ever) did my hair. I think I had the best hair of anyone there-If I must say so myself! She should have been nominated for something! LOL! Hopefully I will continue to cross paths with old friends. Facebook helps!

 

10. Do you have a favorite project you’ve worked on this year?

These questions are so hard, because every time I step on set I have such a great time! Each day is a new adventure! I loved them all!

 

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I just want to take a minute to thank my Mom and Dad for allowing me to follow my dream.

 

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