Our connection to the stars Janel Spiegel has another exclusive interview for us. This time it is with Actor Jesse Woodrow (“Charmed,” “Best Laid Plans,” “Beyond the Lights”) stars in “Tabloid Vivant,” directed by Kyle Broom.
How did you become involved with the film “Tabloid Vivant?”
Jesse: I had read the script and found out that Kyle was doing it and when I had read the script as you know now from “Charmed” I had spent a good ten years of my career beginning out doing “Charmed” and things like that where I played the good looking boyfriend, the “I love you babies,” and I had been okay. I had done well. I knew there was a time when I would have to prove to everybody that I can actually act. I am not just a pretty face, I can actually act. I knew that was coming but I didn’t really know how to pursue that and when I read Kyle’s script I thought what the hell is this and then I thought, I got to do this. I pestered him and who knows if I was the one he wanted to play the role. I know that there were three to four thousand people that he looked at because he told me. I guess I blew him away. I was prepared and I wanted the role. I am really lucky to have been able to play the role. I loved the script.
What was it like working with the director Kyle Broom?
Jesse: He was wonderful. He was insistent which was good. This was an independent low budget movie and one of the things that Kyle thought and I agreed with him was so valuable and so important was to have rehearsal time. This is not a movie where an actor can walk on set and just say the lines and walk off set. You have to create the character. One of the things that I applaud him on is that he gave us rehearsal time.
The cast of “Tabloid Vivant,” including yourself is brilliant. What was it like working with the cast?
Jesse: The predominate amount of time I spent with Tamzin Brown. I believe in the same way as I do about my own role. I believe it was written for her. You watch her do it and you can’t imagine another actress doing the role. She is really a brilliant actress. Not only is she gorgeous, she is wonderful. What it does for me, it is makes it easier for me. “Charmed” was much like this movie if you will, I was acting opposite Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs, Brian Krause, and Rose McGowan. They have been in show business for a long time, they know how to act. These guys know how to act. I am a better actor when I act with people who know what they are doing.
What other projects are you working on next?
Jesse: I just finished “The Miller Prediction” and I am winning Best Actor Awards for “The Miller Prediction” left and right and I am also winning Best Actor Awards for “Tabloid Vivant” left and right. It is a really great role. I’ve got a couple really great roles under my belt.
What would you like to say to the “Charmed” fans?
Jesse: I love them and thank you for the great years. I’ve had some really great years with the “Charmed” fans. I love them to death. Holly tweeted something about CBS doing a reboot. “Charmed” would be a really successful reboot. “Charmed” fans I love you and you’ve been so good to me. Glen loves you. I love you guys. I love “Charmed.” I watched it prior to me being on the show. It was the coolest show on the planet.
