The Hunting Party: Sara Garcia on Her Crash Course in Technology, Learning What a “VPN” Is, and Pitch for The Flash Star Grant Gustin
Bleeding Cool : What fascinate you about ' The Hunting Party ? '
That ’s a great doubt . I study the pilot , and immediately I was terrified . I think it was so cool , and it matt-up like this intense in high spirits - construct following . I am a spot of a scaredy cat when it come to revulsion and serial killers . I was mostly intrigued by doing something that pall me .
What was it like working with Jj as a originative and helping bring his vision to life ?
Jj is the salt of the earth . He ’s so kind , collaborative , and generous . He wanted to ensure we were taken care of , and that we were feel good . He was communicative and uncommitted to us . It was extra to work with him .
What does a character like Jennifer Morales allow you to do that you would n’t normally be able-bodied to ? What ’s it like share the cover with Melissa , Nick , Patrick , and Josh ?
Morales is good at everything . She ’s on the Q.T. gifted and skilful at everything . There is an episode where she schools Odell ( Wechsler ) in darts . I do n’t bring flit , so I had to learn how to fiddle dart for that specific moment . Working with Melissa and Nick and the residuum of the cast , Patrick and Josh , they are a ambition team . There were so many laughs on set , surprisingly even with all the dismal content . Everyone ’s curious and unconstipated joker , and they ’re and we all clicked well , which is nice when you ’re forge as a squad .
Were there things that you were able to do on the show that you would n’t be able to do otherwise ?
Be good at technical school . She ’s sort of a technical school maven , and I am not . I learned some tech jargon , like learning what the acronym for a VPN was . I did n’t know that until I did the show .
As someone who ’s been in both live - activity and the voiceover worlds , what do you like ? Does one have an advantage over the other?One , I can wear down my pajamas to work and the other one , I can peradventure still tire out my pajamas to puzzle out . It depends on the character . Voiceover is so interesting . I do a lot of my voiceover recording from my home studio . It can be a little isolating , but depends on the project . Some undertaking are more collaborative than others as well , and we do things over Zoom . It feels like we ’re all there together , and for on - camera work , it ’s like we ’re all in the trenches together . We ’re all there , and there ’s a family look to it with long hours , and we ’re do work together as one in real time to reach a goal . They ’re both great . I love them both , and I ca n’t choose between the two [ gag ] .
Speaking of trench , looking back , what is your fondest memory as Alexa in The Flash ?
play with that cast and crew was incredible , and shady enough , a mess of the crew for ' The Flash ' are the same for ' The Hunting Party . ' When I got to be on dress and I found this out , it felt like a return . It feel like I was back in the warm bosom of all these wonderful , gifted people , which is really … the hoi polloi were the good part .
You got to getGrant [ Gustin]involved .
I know ! We got to get him to play a serial killer !
