Cr: Honey, how do you become Shauna?
Ml: There was a point at the beginning of the season where I am always like, “Oh my God, did we forget?” And I remember being at a time where I am like: “How is Misty?” When we were about to do the scene, I liked, “How will this be?” And then I liked, “Oh, no.”

Ml: One thing we share is that we both started acting as a young man. Made More Give some advice on the whole of sirens when you were only 9 years old?
Cr: I was given so many tips. She was literally the person in the set who would be like: “What’s wrong now?” And it would be like: “We will pass there because this is happening.” She literally told me about everything.
Cr: I remember there was a scene where everyone had to cry and I was like, “How will I do this crying?” And it was literally like, “So, how are you crying, Cher?” She was like, “Well, I’m listening to this music and then I do this.” It has a touch that does.

This is how I realized I knew nothing. He had no idea.
Cr: Did you go to an open casting?
Ml: They came to my high school.
Cr: And before that, did you have any aspiration to be an actress?
Ml: I loved acting. I wanted to be an actor. Everyone said, “It’s not a real job. You have to choose something else.”
Cr: This told me even when I was in the four films. They are like: “Well, you have to decide what you will be as an adult.”
Ml: You were like: “I am so fun and successful. I think I’m fine. “
Cr: But that’s so fun. Was it like an open casting call that came to your high school?
Ml: They came to my high school and I did not make an audition. Was only improvised. They didn’t want anyone to know what the project was. But I have been doing a dramatic improvisation every night, every Friday night, since I was 7 years old.
Cr: This is amazing.
Ml: It was what we all did. My group of friends, we went to this class and we did it. So it was easy and it was fun. Then I had an appropriate real audition that was very intimidating,
Ml: But (Kate) was of great help. He understood the things that I had no idea, and then they gave me a day off about learning to hit a brand and not looking at the camera, feeling its light and only getting used to it. It was amazing. So I didn’t show myself trying to get the scene.
Cr: But there was also to find out all these logistical things you have to do.
Ml: But it was incredible. We talk about how I am so often the older sister, and this was a dynamic where the older sister was very much. I think it was also very nice for me. I have never had an older brother and, therefore, it was also a very positive experience.
Cr: It’s good to hear -!
Ml: In season 3, we see that Shauna and Misty spend a lot of time together. Why would you say that now is the right time for Shauna and Misty to approach?
Cr: We love to work together. We have always had a good time and a shorthand. And you and I have so much experience in sets that it is so easy and natural.
Cr: I would say that from the point of view of Misty, the impulse to her is that she has lost her best friend and who seeks new friendships and people to be closer. And Taissa and Van are in their own worlds and are not accessible. Shauna is accessible. This is where Misty looks for the new friendship.
