INTERVIEW WITH CANADIAN ACTRESS & ONE OF<br />
MAXIM’S TOP 100 MODELS, LAURA VANDERVOORT (CONT’D)<br />
FF: You were recently in two major<br />
motion pictures “This Means War”<br />
and “Ted” what was your favorite<br />
part when working on these films?<br />
LV: I was working on the ABC series<br />
“V”, in Vancouver at the time we<br />
filmed “This Means War.” I was lucky<br />
enough to be asked to work on the film<br />
for two days in between filming “V.”<br />
Working with the well-known young actors<br />
on “This Means War”, (especially Tom<br />
Hardy who I had just seen in ‘Bronson’)<br />
was thrilling. “Ted” was a wonderful<br />
experience. I hadn’t truly done comedy yet.<br />
FF: You were featured in two of my favorite<br />
Disney movies growing up, what made you<br />
not want to go that route and be a Disney star?<br />
LV: Hahaha! It wasn’t a decision I had to<br />
make. I did a few Disney movies as a child,<br />
but soon after started working on a Canadian<br />
series for four years. After that, “Smallville”<br />
and “V” came about and some other films!<br />
By then, I was older and moving into more<br />
adult roles and wanted a true challenge.<br />
FF: What do you think is most important<br />
thing to do, to make sure that you’re carrying<br />
yourself the way you want to be perceived<br />
in the media?<br />
...I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE PERCEIVED<br />
AS ANYTHING BUT MYSELF AND WHO I AM.<br />
Working with Patrick Warburton and<br />
Mark Wahlberg was insane. They were<br />
so kind. We would improvise under the<br />
direction of director Seth Macfarlane.<br />
It was all I could do to not laugh when<br />
Patrick came up with the most hilarious<br />
one-liners take after take. I just felt lucky<br />
to be working alongside them.<br />
LV: I wouldn’t want to be perceived<br />
as anything but myself and who I am.<br />
So, I just make sure I take the risks I’m<br />
comfortable with taking, and comfortable<br />
with the consequences of those decisions.<br />
Not allowing anyone to talk you into anything,<br />
being kind and real, and being appreciative<br />
and humble, but also knowing when to step<br />
up and make your voice heard…if necessary.<br />
That was the toughest lesson for me.<br />
People will respect you if you have a voice<br />
and opinion. You can’t be afraid of that.<br />
