Jon,
why not start us out with a visual and describe
the room where you are answering these questions?
I'm in a white
large room with lots of recording gear...aka: my
studio
Okay, first
off I want to hear about your role as Jane in 'Saw
VI'. How did the role come about?
I
auditioned for three roles and that was the one
that suited me best.
Any creepy
tales form the set you would care to share?
I sat
next to the Jigsaw puppet in the make up chair
but that wasn't as creepy as it was amusing. That
doll definitely has some funky Juju attached to
it!
Were you a fan
of the series?
Yes.
I also want to
hear about your role as Steffi opposite Sean
Patrick Flannery in 'Mongolian
Death Worms' which is due on the
SYFY Channel in March 2010.
I play
Steffi, a doctor in Mongolia trying to help sick
villagers and, at the same time, trying to
determine the origin of a mysterious virus in the
water supply that is "making the people
sick."
What exactly
is a Mongolian death worm?
It
actually exists! I think it burrows under the
skin and causes havoc...only the real ones aren't
as large in scale as the SYFY version.
And you're
also filming another movie 'Unearthed',
with 'Saw VI' star
Betsy Russell. Tell me a little bit about that
project.
We
wrapped in October. I'm excited about this film.
It takes place in the Amazon jungle and follows a
team of explorers as we seek out ancient relics,
unbeknownst to "us, also unleashing the
curse of the jungle."
So you were
also Ava Gardner in 'Introducing
Dorothy Dandridge'? That's cool,
had people mentioned that you looked like her
before you were cast?
I have
heard that before and it's a supreme compliment.
She was a stunning, strong, and determined woman
who didn't take abuse from any man. She was ahead
of her time.
Tell me about
your CD 'Whitelite Britelite' that came out in
March of 2009.
It's my
project and I wrote, produced, sang and played on
it...I collaborate with others but this project
is basically my baby. I feel it was a great
accomplishment to do this with no real money or
label backing to it...Never an easy feat for any
artist!
What act or
musician do you think you resemble the most
musically?
NIN,
Blondie, Garbage, Imogen Heap....I've heard those
all before
Do you have
any other upcoming projects you would like to let
the www.racksandrazors.com readers know about?
Working
on the second Auradrone album right now and
waiting to hear about a couple of possible film
projects for the New Year, but I won't say much
until things "are more concrete of
course."
What was the
first movie you saw that made you go to sleep
with the lights on?
I saw a
movie when I was a little girl that was called
'Xtro'. It was a UK sci fi horror film and I was
very young so it kind of freaked me out. Some
crazy scenes in that film!
Vampires,
werewolves, psychos, witches, zombies, Mongolian
death worms, creatures, aliens, or something else
- what does it for you horror-wise and why?
First of
all, I LOVE zombie films and would love to do
one! It even borders on a fetish with me. Huge
fan of 28 Days Later and really dug 'Shawn of The
Dead'. I also adore vampires and would like to
give a shot to playing one as well...Aliens you
can never go wrong with! Sci Fi has always
fascinated me. I guess you can say that I am
really into ALL things otherworldly.
Okay, we're
pulling into the Jon Mack Drive In. What three
horror flicks are on the triple bill for tonight
and what goodies are they going to be serving up
at the concession stand?
I think
it would have to be a zombie double feature to
start out with...I'm voting for 28 Days Later and
28 Weeks Later and a classic and beautifully shot
- vampire film called 'The Hunger' to top things
off. As far as concession stands go, I would have
to serve peanut butter M & M's, popcorn and,
of course, brains!
What is the
best Halloween costume you ever had?
It's a
toss up between when I was Pris from 'Blade
Runner' and Alex from 'Clockwork Orange'. It was
a fun experience wearing the jockstrap and bowler
hat together. I like gender bending roles at
times.
What scares
you in real life?
Stagnation! |
