 Brittany Snow
Interview By: Rocco Passafuime The greatest thing about being a young actor is the greater level of joy that comes from the lack of adult experience that hardens most actors as they get older. Brittany Snow is perhaps the greatest example of a young actor enjoying every bit of what they do. She cut her teeth on television with early roles on shows like Guiding Light, American Dreams, and Nip/Tuck. It wasn’t long before film beckoned Snow with roles in hit movies like John Tucker Must Die, Hairspray, and Prom Night. Now, the 22 year-old actress prepares to take her next potential step with a role in the independent comedy Finding Amanda. It is as much a break from Brittany’s relatively teen-based norm as she can get, as she plays the film’s title character, a prostitute of all things.

She shares with us what it was like working with him on this film. “Peter, I’ve been a fan of. Just when I met him, I fell in love with wanting to work with him and him as a person, I just thought he’s so, so brilliant and talented,” she says, “Also, the way that he uses humor and also with serious subject matter like this script is kind of genius like how he can do both and make it really relevant and heartfelt and really cool.” “He told me a story that a headshot came across his desk and he said to somebody like, ‘I hope she can act because this should be Amanda,’ or something,” Brittany adds, “I guess it had to do with I look 12 sometimes when I don’t wear makeup. I look really young and look like I should be holding ... |
