Choppin’ It Up With Actress Lovie Simone
I had the opportunity to catch up with one if my good friends Lovie Simone, you might recognize her from Greenleaf on OWN. If you want to get to know her a little better, here are some questions from our short interview from last week:
Where are you from originally?
I’m originally from The Bronx, of course.
What made you want to start acting?
I always wanted to be an actress from watching Disney and Nickelodeon.
Can you remember your earliest role that you’ve ever booked?
Hmm...the first thing I’ve ever booked was a J.C. Penney commercial.
So, I’ve done my research and we’ve had a few chit-chats about some of your newest castings and such, I remember you starred in a movie named “Monster” tell us a little bit about that.
Monster is a movie based off the book by Walter Dean Meyers about a boy who is incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit, and in the film I play his love interest.
Do you have anyone you look up to or people in the industry right now that you aspire to work with one day?
I look up to Taraji P. Henson and Denzel because of their acting and humbleness.
What movie are you looking forward to seeing in theaters this year?
I'm looking forward to Black Panther! Mainly because of representation with black people portraying powerful leaders in film!
Big shout out to Lovie! Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions, and for the rest of you, be sure so catch Greenleaf on OWN!
