Transcript

00:00What is it like stepping onto, really, like, one of the biggest shows on television?

00:04I feel welcomed right now because this is like, look at this, I feel welcomed.

00:08I feel welcomed by everybody on the cast and crew as well, like, we bonded so fast and

00:16we've become great friends and I couldn't ask for a better experience, honestly, yeah.

00:22What was that favourite set memory, that bonding moment that made you be like, these are my

00:26people for life?

00:27It wasn't a set memory, but we all went for dinner, like, Craig had a few of us for dinner,

00:32we met each other and, you know, we ended up going out all night and just, like, having

00:38a great time and, like, we were up until three just, like, having fun, playing games and

00:43getting to know each other.

00:44It was really lovely, yeah.

00:45Who's the party instator, who is the one that is, just can't stop?

00:50Isabella.

00:51Of course.

00:52Isabella, of course.

00:53She's always in that group chat, she's always like, who wants to go play pool, who wants

00:56to do this, like, and, yeah, if it weren't for her, like, we wouldn't have done half

01:00the things that we did and it was just like, yeah, she's the best, yeah.

01:04And that's one of those things where it's kind of like the personality almost matches

01:08the character because Dina also brings that kind of lightness to a very heavy season.

01:13Yeah, I mean, she, her charisma really shines through and I can't say much more than that.

01:22I mean, what has that been like getting used to, that idea of, like, you really can't say

01:27much of anything about what's to come?

01:29It's hard for me because I like to talk a lot and I like to, I'm verbose, if there's

01:33one word to describe me in a situation like this, it's verbose, so, difficult, but I'm

01:40getting there, I'm working on it.

01:43What has it been like when you, like I said, you step onto the biggest show on TV, were

01:48you a huge Last of Us fan before this opportunity came your way?

01:51Yes, yeah, episode three of season one was, it's one of my favorite episodes of television

01:57ever, and you know, we would, it was one of the first times in a long time where I'd gather

02:03with my friends and we'd watch it every week, you know, we'd get together and have snacks

02:08and watch it together, so, it means a great deal to me to be a part of this, yeah.

02:13What are you going to do for the premiere episode then?

02:16Is it going to be a big watch party, like how are you going to celebrate?

02:20I don't love watching myself act, so I may have to fast forward through a little bit

02:24of it, but yeah, I think it'll be low-key, I'm just going to keep it low-key, me and

02:29my partner, we're going to just sit down and watch it, hang out on the couch, it'll be

02:33simple.

02:34When you think about this show and the representation that it has had, kind of all throughout the

02:39characters, all throughout the storylines, even just the idea of like a pseudo father-daughter

02:45story, what do you feel like this show really means to people and means to the audience?

02:51To me, like, I think I can relate to that a lot, and like, you know, relationships with

02:58parents can be difficult sometimes, and obviously I can, and I think that like watching this

03:10come through, it can show us that people are flawed, that mistakes are made, and that

03:18amends can be made in even the worst circumstances.
