the fans.
Please enjoy these
questions and answers, and visit her website at http://steffanibrass.com.
Q. How long
have you been acting professionally?
A.
I got my first commercial when I was 6 months old. It was
for Pampers.
Q. Is there any one role that you have enjoyed more than
the others?
A. I loved working on "That 70's Show". The
cast was so fun. They're really young so they made it fun
for me too. When I was younger, I loved working on "The
Amanda Show" which is on Nickelodeon. I got to bring
all my friends to be in the audience. It was great!
Q. How were you chosen to be in "Battle at Shadow
Ridge"?
A. When I was at the callback with the producers &
Director, I did the part with a southern accent. As I was
leaving I said "bye, thank you" without the accent.
The director stopped me and said "Steff - aren't you
from the south?" and I said "no, I'm from California".
I think they were surprised. It might be part of the reason
I got the part.
Q. How old were you when you filmed this episode?
A. I was 10.
Q. What was it like working with the actors and crew of
'Miracles'?
A. This episode was fun because of the soldiers. It felt
like we were in the past. Skeet Ulrich is really nice (and
cute). The crew was awesome. They let me bring my best friend
to the set one day to watch me film.
Q. What was a normal day for you while on the set of "Battle
at Shadow Ridge"?
A. Well, if it's a school day, then I have to do 3 hours
of school. sometimes they split it up. So I could get to work
and go right to hair and makeup and then they send me to school.
I have a tutor there. I have to do at least 20 minutes before
they can call me to the set. So then I'll go rehearse a scene
and then I'll go back to school and then I'll go film a scene
and then go back to school. Lunch is the best part because
the food is really good. And there are lots and lots of snacks.
Q. What, if anything, sticks out in your mind the most
about the filming of this episode? Were there any pranks,
funny, or scary moments you would like to share with us?
A. Well, there weren't any pranks with me and Paul (he
played my brother), but we sure got scared the first time
we saw the "ghost" Henry Tucker. I didn't expect
him to look like that at all. He was all bloody and cut up.
He looked gross.
Q. In "Battle at Shadow Ridge" you spoke with
a very convincing Southern accent. Is this normal for you,
and if not, how hard was it for you to learn?
A. The accent isn't real but it's real easy to do. I can
also do British, Irish and now Russian. Oh and I can do New
York too because that's where my mom is from.
Q. What new projects of yours can we all look forward to
enjoying in the future?
A. I have a recurring role on the HBO series "Six
Feet Under". My character is Michaela and my episodes
don't start till season 4 which is in June.
Q. As you get older, there are many directions you could
go. Are you looking to remain an actor, or do you have other
aspirations; is there something else you would like to do
in the future?
A. I really love acting and I love being on sets. I think
I want to keep acting for now, but who knows - I might change
my mind when I'm 20. I think I want to be a director someday
too.
Q. Additional bonus question for fans in the US and viewers
who have not seen this episode.
You have finally had the opportunity to watch this rare, unshown
episode. What did you think of it?
A. I thought this episode was so cool. At the end when
we're in the car watching the lights go up to the sky, my
mom told me they were the spirits of the soldiers. When we
were filming that part, I wasn't looking at anything. It was
neet to see what I was supposed to be looking at.
Also (just want to add) my friend Ashley Edner is in the "Friendly
Skies" episode and I think she did a great job.
Thanks for interviewing me! It was fun. I hope Miracles can
comes back here too so all my family and friends all over
the U.S. can see it!
