This is an interview with itv taken from the press pack. You can download the press pack by clicking on the link (it is a pdf file) at the bottom of the website below. Also according to the press pack this is going to be on the 10th ,11th and 12th of November.
http://www.itv.com/PressCentre/Presspacks/...er/default.html JENNIFER ELLISION plays Shena Davis What's your character Shena Davis like? She's feisty and tough and pretty outrageous. She's never had a proper family background. She's been dragged up by her mother. They've both been in and out of jail and she's basically a product of her mother's corrupt, criminal lifestyle. She doesn't really know right from wrong. I don't think she's deliberately malicious, she just doesn't know any better and I don't think she realises that, as a consequence of some of her actions, she's really hurting other people. You seem to have a real rapport with Crissy Rock who plays your mother I know; we're like a comedy duo! Shena and Adele are both so funny, so brash and they come out with the most disgraceful things. Crissy is great. I'd worked with her before on Brookside, but that was a while ago and it was great for us to be able to get together again, playing completely different characters. It was really good fun. But it was actually quite demanding too, because comedy acting is all about timing, it's not like just being a naturally funny person. Also, most of Shena's humour is not really intentional; it's just that the comments that roll off her tongue are so extreme and unexpected that they make you laugh out loud. So I tried to play her for real, rather than for laughs, and let the comedy come through in the dialogue as Lynda wrote it, which I hope makes it a more interesting performance. Did you enjoy your role in The Commander? It was a really lovely job. Shena was a fantastic character to play. The other members of the cast were so great, the crew were all excellent and Lynda is just incredible. And it was amazing to work alongside Amanda Burton. CREDITS Television: New Street Law, Hotel Babylon, The Brief, Brookside. Film: The Cottage, The Phantom of the Opera. |
