Interview with Actress Allison McCurdy

American Chronicle, August 9, 2005

I recently interviewed actress Allison McCurdy.

Bell: You were in the movie "Bruce Almighty," and you were in the well-known television series "Beverly Hills 90210," "Profiler," and "Pacific Blue." Any comments?

McCurdy: "Bruce Almighty" was a very fun gig for me. Myself and three other girls were picked for this party scene, and, although we only worked for two days, we all had a great time. We were all under contract, although we were never given any lines. The director Tom Shadyac was great to work with; he was very nice to all of us. Jennifer Aniston was very sweet and polite.

The day that I shot for "Beverly Hills 90210" was the first day for Tori Spelling to work as a director. It was Tori that made the final decision in picking me out of all the other girls.

I had met the writer for "Pacific Blue," Paul Brown, in Hawaii right before I moved here to LA, and I had also met the Executive Producer, Bill Nuss. They had both given me their business cards and told me that if I was ever in LA to call them and they would put me on their show. So a week later I was in LA, called them up, they put me on their show, I met other people on the set; made more connections which lead to more work, and that's how I ended up living here. I am actually currently working with Paul Brown on a script that I've been writing. He has been kind enough to help me "clean it up." My script is actually my focus for right now. I have taken about two years off from acting and modeling so that I can concentrate on writing this script. Hopefully I will be done before the end of the year so I can either begin pitching it or just start shooting it myself.

Bell: Any behind the scenes or memorable moments, and did you become acquainted with any of the actors?   (read more,,,,)
