I feel like I'm all over the place sometimes. I always like to figure out how I can incorporate a wide range of emotions into every scene because I feel like that's natural for humans, especially me. That's what I try to do with all of my characters, even if it's a character where the writer hasn't necessarily thought of a backstory. How do you approach a character like that and layer all that nuance into your performance? RELATED: Underwater’s True Cosmic Horror Lies in Its ClimaxĪlice is a character who has a lot going on under the surface and plenty of secrets in her back pocket. I was like, "Of course! I'm so glad you said that!" I think that helped our dynamic flow and kept the mood a little bit lighter, which I think the audience needs at that point. I remember we were outside of the bar running the scene for the first time with the director and he gave me one note. I thought that was a great idea because it gave it more of a lively feel, especially since the stuff that Alice was talking about was pretty dark, and also mindset, I think he needed a break from the rabbit hole that he was going down into. Harry was actually the one who suggested tossing the shots back and forth - that wasn't originally written. How was it working on that scene and having Harry Shum, Jr. One of my favorite scenes in the film is between Alice and James in a dive bar trading shots. I think that's how I really got into it, just being like, "Just be a dude, be a bro!" I've always struggled with coming into my own confidence as a woman. I was actually also quite intimidated by it because she's described as such a street-smart, competent woman.
I was intrigued by the character and excited to dive into it. Jacob said he spent a lot of time developing Alice and usually you get a one-sentence character description, like a femme fatale who kicks ass, but he was super detailed. Was there any specific line in the character breakdown or script that helped inform your performance? And he said, "Just so you know, we already made an android that looks like you so you're kind of our choice." So I figured if this doesn't happen, I don't know what's going on! About a month later, which is longer than normal, they said that the director wanted to talk with me over Zoom, so we chatted for over an hour. Kelley Mack: It came to me like any other role: my agents at DDO Chicago sent me the breakdown and I did the self-tape for it. How did the role of Alice and this project first come to you?
