Skye P. Marshall on Her Breakout Role — Interview

Sky B. Marshall It is not religious, but it believes in magic. You must have some faith with a higher force after the few years you have gone through. For “”MateThe actress, 2020 and beyond was a phrase Classic Hollywood fictional stories. A few television Actors test like this good luck, especially these days – but Marshall’s role in this CBS bustling legal drama It did not happen overnight.

“I didn’t have the courage to ask what I wanted to do with the rest of my adult life until I was 27 years old,” I told Marshall Indiewire, and she looked back since I moved from New York to California. “Everyone thought I was crazy. They were like,” Do you have an agent? “No. ‘ “An official training?” “You have friends in Los Angeles, right?”

The charismatic and elegant “Marlock” character, which can be intimidated, is a friendly worm, Olympia Lawrence is the latest in a long series of TV lawyers that hold the scene played by talented black women. Participate in a championship Cathy Bates Matlock and Jason Righter also allows a colleague/former Olympia colleague Julian, Julian, Viola Davis in “How to stay away from killing” Moses for her main. It is a comparison between the characters taking into account only eight episodes in the series, Olympia is investigated for the death of a little girl and Struggle with adultery – both fictional plots of Davis knows everything well.

This drama and more waiting when “Matlock” returns from the mid -season break tonight, Thursday, January 30. There will be three other episodes in the first season (broadcasting per week until February 13). After that, it is run to the second season, which was already confirmed and the next step on the happy Marshall creative trip.

“The most exciting thing in Episode 9 is that Olympia will finally discover those who have created Julian,” Marshall has been exposed to Indiewire. “This episode was also the most enjoyable in the group because we allowed us to provide a lot of physical comedy and very fun improvisation, Cathy and I, you cannot see it much. This is for us to do together, just because it was like this, it was very special. Do not make me start with it with Adam Sandler in “The Waterboy”.

It was developed by Jenny Snyder Orman, the new “Matock” It is something of a wrong name. Classic TV is similar to mysteriously imagined it only the reactionary restartment you have expected in the flow era. However, the exhibition built a weekly audience of 13.2 million viewers in the past fall – and continues to attract cash estimate. Unlike the transverse procedural of the nineties, the modern “Matlock” follows many puzzles that last for the first season. Through the Matty Matlock name (a clear signal to the original TV program), Bates Stars as the archaeological lawyer MADELINE KINGSTON. Kingston is a fierce dark horse, in fact a lawyer, but she was driven by great sadness after she lost her daughter at the Opionean material. In the pilot, Matti sneaks to Jacobson Moore – the law firm in Olympia – to find someone there is responsible for him.

“The irony has not been lost that” Matlock “is focused on Big Pharma,” said Marshall, whose last job in New York in pharmaceutical marketing said. “Seeing this in the text program has just sent me to Earth laughing, but again, everything talks about surrender and follow these signs.”

Marshall is born in Chicago, and remembers that he “pushed Toto at the age of five” to continue dancing and community shows. The arts were always appreciated in her home, but the acting was a “hobby” that was never presented as a real profession. Instead, she recruited the army and worked as an active member of the Air Force to provide tuition fees. She joined the University of Northeast Illinois (“With Uncle Sam Kabbi Sugar”, jokingly) and graduated with honors.

She said: “I have always enjoyed challenging this challenge, but I did these things because people told me where all the challenges were – whether it was the army, college or companies.” “But now, with” Matlock “, all I was talking to is to speak again.”

Two years later they live in New York, the future TV star felt commented in her career. Then the housing market was shattered. While others cling to the stability of their compartments, Marshall felt more inspiration to abandon them. She was already behaving (in places in the city such as the Broadway Dance Center and Stella Adler Studio Acting) as a kind of “treatment” – but she started experimenting with “live dreams about Los Angeles”.

She said, “I kept waking up in the middle of the night and something that I did not feel fine.” Then I started crossing into reality, where I see tourist advertisements for California on posters or photos from Los Angeles when I reached the subway. The people I know will suddenly tell me, “Oh my God, have you thought of being an actor? I think you will be good at it. It was everywhere. “

Marshall jumped to the jump and finally came to Los Angeles in 2009. The conflict she endured is very romantic, and it should be noted that he did not work with all people. But at least for the real-heart actress, Old Hollywood has transformed Marshall’s dream into a reality-slowly but steadily.

Throughout her thirties, Marshall prevailed in an arduous double life. It was an undiscovered talent at Central Casting Ly Day, NIGHTER waiters and contacts, she dealt with every disturbed as an opportunity to learn. Marshall appeared in SCADS with small roles and non-speaking parts, from “Gray’s Anatomy” and “Dexter” to “SABRINA Adventures” and “9-1-1”. After “CSI: New York”, to make her a permanent actress in the background, she resided there as a forensic laboratory for more than a year. Another actress found another opportunity to grow with the first repeated modern role of “Dameles”.

Marshall said: “I have long learned that it is not related to what you are doing, it is about those who are going on while doing this,” Marshall said. “I used this opportunity as a background actor not only additional, but to be a paid trainee. TV production was a completely new dialogue that I had to learn and a completely new way to exist.”

However, Marshall was appointed to make it to the TV network – and she had a CBS passion.

She said: “The first vision painting was when I arrived in Los Angeles a procedural drama for CBS, and it was my first apartment that I moved directly to a lot on Rafford.” “I can see on the wall. I was sitting on my balcony with my coffee, and I would like to imagine me to be regular at the CBS show. I am sure of that, but as a background actor Firstly. This is how I learned privacy in your prayers is the key. ”

Before “Matlock”, Marshall has become a regular chain on the medical drama “Good Sam”. She got herself part of Dr. Lakes Troiti by the creator at DM-AINC KATIE Welch on Instagram, and spread at work when she asked her to come to come to take a incentive test.

“If I don’t send it to that day on that day to answer this invitation to be in CBS, all within three hours, I would have missed this opportunity,” Marshall recalls in awe. “And when I got to the network test, I guess what? This is the place where I met Edwin Hodge. It is now husband”

Marshall remembers facing two other people who will change her life on that day. According to the actress – who swings with joy at each turn that tells her story – in the adjacent room, producers Jenny Sneider Orman, the final bidder of “Matlock”, and Joanna Klein, the executive producer of “Matlock”. When Marshall finally put her hands on the experimental scenario, she knew that she had found a “new withdrawal role” and booked the opportunity to read to Olympia.

Urman nor Klein Bates told them that they worked with Marshall before the test. She mentioned in the room, seeing the main names of the role in the call paper and a ticket for “the governor of the designer on the sofa”. Without fear, the emerging actress confirmed her chemistry with the Oscar winner anyway – and asked for a hug when entering.

Marshall said: “It is a basic rule that does not touch celebrities unless it is at the scene, but it came to me directly.” “I only knew whether you could feel my heart came out of my chest, I knew that Mrs. Cathy Bings – the person who was unknown” misery “when everyone was putting all the big names – I knew she would hide me.” She did. After the test that turned Pits to the room and said, “Well, is it, right?”

Speaking to Chicago Indiewire, the actress divides her between the coast and cares about her elderly mother in Illinois. Olympia’s landing on “Matlock” Marshall allowed her mother to buy a home, forging a family bond between her and Pets and more “MATLOCK” team.

Those who were real tears said that I could not believe that I was in the Times Square with Cathy Pits after completing this achievement from the TV season. 76 – By itself. The last time I saw her on her own on an advertising board. Thanks to her wide autobiography and being a new discovery, we met each moment at that moment exactly with the same feelings and the danger of what we created together. ”

The “twisted” conclusion may collapse for the first season, Olympia and Mati advanced confidence at any moment. But for the pioneering ladies “Matlock”, their connection on the screen and its true friendship appears to be almost fateful. They are only binding on mutual admiration, but also the greatest secret of their offer.

“My husband has no idea what will happen,” Marshall said. “It is really good. He has no idea. No one in my life, no one of my dearest friends, only people who have the scenario on this schedule, know who is responsible for [Matty’s daughter]. I can’t wait even this rotation and get this answer – because when you think you discovered it, you did not. I do all of that with Cathy. “

“Matlock” returns with the rest of the first season on Thursday, January 30 at 9 pm East time.
