Bleeding Cool : What is your partial memory work on ' Mayor of Kingstown ? '
Oh , ' Mayor of Kingstown . ' That was my first offer , which was really coolheaded . I had originally auditioned for the purpose of Cherry ( Natasha Marc ) in season one , and then I was so sad when I did n’t get that . When season two came around , they had bid me the role of Coco , and I loved working with Hugh Dillon and just on that set , Michael Friedman , those producers are so mired creatively in everything that they do . you’re able to tell that everything is their babe .
I felt so lucky I got to be a part of that man , despite it being so seedy and morose . I ’m literally playing a prostitute . They made me finger so comfortable . They just went above and beyond to verify that all our needs were met . There was nothing too difficult for us . Some scenes we were dealing with had difficult topics and were hard to fool , so they would come , check in , and ensure we were okay . That predisposition and approach they use for their show is so tactful , and I think why they do well , and the actors who mould with them love continue to work with them .
