00:00How are you? You look so good. I love this dress.

00:02Thank you so much.

00:03Now this is your first award show tonight, right?

00:06This is my first award show tonight. I'm very excited.

00:09Who are you most excited to see?

00:11Oh my gosh. I honestly, I've thought about this question and I don't have an answer.

00:16I'm so unbelievably blessed and grateful to be a part of a community and a union of actors like the ones here tonight.

00:26And I'm just so unbelievably grateful to even be here. It's just so exciting.

00:31But I think, because I'm biased, I think Mr. Jonathan Bailey, of course.

00:36Coming up, you're in Jurassic World Rebirth with him.

00:39How would you say that movie compares to what we've seen of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchises before?

00:44I think it's something you've never seen before. Really, truly.

00:48It's an ode to the original, for sure.

00:51It's a lot of familiar things that you'll see from the original, I can say.

00:59It's a new world. It's a new world. It's a new cast.

01:04It's forget everything you've known, basically.

01:07Go into it with an open mind and fasten your seatbelt because it is terrifying.

01:13It is really scary and it's just filled with excitement and adventure.

01:18And it's written by David Kapp, who wrote the two original Jurassic Parks.

01:24And this is the one that he's coming back with.

01:26So it's really, really fun. I'm so excited.

01:29We can't wait to see it.

01:30And we're here at the SAG Awards tonight, but the Oscars are just a week away.

01:33Who are you rooting for for Best Picture?

01:35Wicked. Wicked. Wicked.

01:39I feel like you have to say Wicked.

01:41Wicked. Wicked. I mean, come on.

01:43I've seen it seven times. I have a problem.

01:46I told John when I saw him last, I was like,

01:50you have something so special on your hands.

01:54It is magical to be able to see just Cynthia and Ariana

01:59and Ethan and Jonathan just in that element.

02:03And our fabulous Michelle and Jeff Goldblum.

02:06It is really, really, it's one of one.

02:10It's so beautiful.

02:12And I think, again, just because my favorite dreamboat,

02:15Jonathan Bailey, is in it.

02:17Yeah.

02:17This past week, I want to ask you about this.

02:19Maya and Ethan Hawke made headlines for talking about

02:22actors getting cast in roles for their amount of Instagram followers.

02:25What's your take on that?

02:27And have you ever sort of seen that on projects you've worked on

02:29that people are kind of counting up the Instagram followers?

02:32I've seen it one too many times, truly.

02:34It's unfortunate because there's a lot of actors,

02:39including myself, that from day one have been in a casting room

02:44and have been maintaining these relationships

02:47and have been working to the bone to get any sort of job

02:52and have been putting their life on the line

02:54and have been blood, sweat, and tears, have been doing this forever.

02:59So it is a little challenging when, you know,

03:02this new world of social media and, you know,

03:06social followings in that way can take over.

03:09I think that, you know, it's very specific,

03:12the roles that are going to, you know, people like that.

03:16And then there's roles that are going to the other folks.

03:20And I think everyone's going to get what they're meant to get.

03:25But, you know, I get it, but it's also, it's hard.

03:30It's a little hard as an actor myself, you know.

03:33You
