Bonavista North

But honestly, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this, when I read the sides, excuse me, when I read the sides for this piece, my first thought was not thinking I would ever get the role, of course.

I thought, wow, whoever gets to play this role is so lucky because even in my audition, everything rolled off my tongue so naturally because Ruth is speaking the way my grandmother spoke, the way my mother speaks, the way my aunts in Bonavista North speak.

And it came so naturally to me.

And I think with any other role, I would have walked into that table read with all these Hollywood people terrified.

even my accent was like...

I remember like three days after I found out I got the role, I was on a Zoom with Josh.

And I felt really bad because he was like, so where's your accent from? I'm like, well, I grew up in Lab West, but my dad's from Bonavista North.

My mom's from St. George's.
