Felicia Day

Awesome (and long) interview on Kevin Pollak’s Chat show.

Also, based on my wielding a light saber in the interview, two mashups by@doomdragon &@stanandollie of me beheading him.

Pardon for the press links pile-up, I’ve been neglectful with updating the website and, having a day free, and trying to rectify.

Interview with the hip “Paste” Magazine. They didn’t edit it a lot, so there are a lot of “you knows” in it from the phone call transcription. Oh well. My favorite quote is re: the perception that any of my web video work has rubbed off on traditional Hollywood offers.

The funny thing is, I don’t see it rubbing off in Hollywood. You know, Web video is still the bastard step-child, so I don’t think that my work is making people aware of me in the mainstream, so even through I have my own show, there’s a huge disconnect. But I think in the next year, there’s going to be a huge amount of people getting used to watching video on the web, with Hulu, and Xbox Live, so hopefully the people like me who are pioneering will start rubbing off.

I used to live by Backstage casting listings when I first moved to town. This was a real pleasure, to be in this week’s Backstage, a publication that is so useful to actors. I hope I inspire other actors who are looking for work to forge ahead and make their own things. Never wait for permission!

My favorite quote from this article:

“Take a risk and do something that you haven’t seen before and tell a story that other people aren’t telling,” she advises. “We’ve seen six friends who live in New York. Tell something that’s really unique about you. It might not appeal to everyone, it might not get a TV deal tomorrow, but at least you’re going to find a voice.”

Very fun Podcast interview with the famous Major Nelson of Xbox Fame. My interview is around 23:37–41:30.
