New Lindsey interview!

My favourite bit:

Quote:

Your character had a leg brace. How difficult was that to act in, or did it help lift the character?

It’s so confining. And I’m a very active person and so having the leg brace use to drive me absolutely insane on set. Just because I’d want to get it off, because it was annoying or it was heavy. This was the earlier models. We’ve made it more and more flexible as the seasons have gone on. And because I’m wearing it and I was walking with a limp, I created an imbalance in my body. My left side is weaker than my right side, because I put all my weight on my right as I was using it. I didn’t even plan on it, but it’s given me insight of what people with disabilities must go through, feeling confined and feeling frustrated and imprisoned and crazy and then weak. You feel a little helpless and mad that your body can’t do what it used to do. I try to bring that to my performance and I think it brought it to another level. And now, as much as I have a very love hate relationship with the brace because it’s annoying, I don’t think Raven would be Raven without it. It’s such a part of her and her person.

I really love that I got to portray that. I don’t think a lot of young actors get to dive into a character that becomes paralyzed, lives on after and works with it for the rest of their life. Usually a character gets hurt and they’re in a hospital bed or in a wheelchair for two or three episodes and then they’re better. Raven’s never gotten better. I think that’s pretty cool.

Posting this AMAZING art for now

Love the art!

Thanks for sharing that interview, Sarah. I love her thoughts on wearing the brace and how that influences her acting.

Good interview. The part in bold could make a good thread title.

Thanks Sarah! And love that art.

loppabelle · 03-30-2018, 03:19 PM

Pretty art. She really looks like a superhero there imo.

You're welcome, girls.

And she really does look superhero-ish there.

Another favourite bit from the interview:

Quote:

What’s your favorite scene involving yourself in the series?

My favorite scene involving myself. That’s so hard, you know what I really love—you’ll have no idea what I’m talking about—but I really love the alley exorcist scene. Just because you got to see Raven play three different people in one go, which is amazing. And then I really liked the water tank scene in Season 4—the real fans know what I’m talking about, Darran. I love that because I scuba dive and I love water. I love being able to use a skill that I’d never think I’d use on camera. I got to do all of that, except they wouldn’t let me throw myself over the tank. They had a stunt girl do that. But everything else was me. So that was really exciting and a really challenging scene that I loved.

Glad that they found a way to incorporate Lindsey's love for scuba diving in a scene and such an important one too.

Did the writer of this article write Alie as Alley or am I interpreting wrong.

But anyhoo, RavALIE will probably be my favorite scene to date. Lindsey got to play multi layered and so unlike herself. I always think those are the most fun challenges for any actor.

Raven on the bridge in 1x10 is still my favorite, but Lindsey slayed the RavALIE stuff.

Alley? Alley?

destroyer of worlds · 03-31-2018, 07:12 AM

Alley?

I didn't notice that. The interviewer said that he/she is only on season 2 so I'm guessing it's lack of familiarity? But the person should still Google the name at least.

Damocles · 03-31-2018, 07:41 AM

lol omg...the first thing I noticed was "alley". I was like what? Raven didn't have an exorcism scene in an alley

**BlueDog9** · 03-31-2018, 07:42 AM

Thanks for the interview Sarah. Always good to get more insight into actors and scenes.

The ravALIE scenes where all so good, especially the exorcism one. And Lindsey slayed those performances. She is so seriously talented she deserves to star in all the movies always

Damocles · 03-31-2018, 07:59 AM

I hope she get some sweet roles when The 100 is finished

I agree, Marie. She was AMAZING as RavALIE ... Bob/Eliza referenced her in Nevermore and Bob said that they felt so bad for her in that episode in particular. But it was worth it because she slayed that performance and was electric to watch.

She was amazing in the finale.
