I was cast as Abigail Tunstall in Murdoch Mysteries directly through my agent. No auditions required simply because they people casting it new me from prior work that I’ve done with the Casting Directors and knowing the right people from working together time and again. They knew who I was, what my body type was, my hair, personality ect ect ect. They say it’s not what you know, it’s who you know and that was the case when they cast me In Murdoch Mysteries. I felt very blessed to get this work because it meant I had prop shots, and many days with Actor Rate pay. Believe me any actress feels blessed when she books a part where she gets actor pay. In this Television show I am dead the whole time in it! Playing dead is actually more difficult than playing alive. I have actually heard someone say that before and I will quote it again. This is Sima Fisher making a statement on playing dead “acting dead is more difficult that acting alive”! There that is my official statement on my official website! Take it or leave it!
Well It was great working on this film set because I’ll admit it the People were great to work with. You cannot say that about every film set believe me. They are high stress environments and sometimes you just get fucking shit on!! My friend was a little jealous because I got to work with Yannick Brisson and she is in Love with him! OH SNAP!! but I also thought it was a pleasure working with Helene Joy that beautiful Australian Princess..so cute and sweet and really very lovely! I run into allot of the same people on different sets in The Toronto Film industry and it gets to be quite a small world. The Toronto or Hollywood North film industry is quite a great industry to be a part of and I’m very thankful for every day that I get to be a part of it
Anyway a little about the actual story line of what happens to my charachter Abigail on Murdoch Mysteries. Well she was a little tramp and she would bribe politicians with compromising photos of themselves taken by her photographer. She was the “model” but the politicians obviously didn’t know the photos were being taken of them whilst they thought they were just getting “lucky”…well I won’t spoil the rest.You have to go watch Murdoch Mysteries to find out.Here’s the link people!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmGSrhfe7eU
The cotumes and music and just everything about this show is so well done!!
