I thank Marie taking time out of her incredibly busy schedule.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since you\u2019re last film \u2018Titanic II\u2019 you started up a production company. How\u2019s that going and what are you currently working on?<\/p>\n<p><strong>MARIE:<\/strong> I started a small production company called &#8216;The Speculative&#8217; with my longtime friend Marty Martin. We worked together on a few projects earlier in our careers and have a great dynamic, so decided to collaborate our abilities to bring our own concepts to the world. I&#8217;ve loved being on the other side of the camera, it combines my creative side with my down to business side. We recently finished a commercial for a video game and now are working on a very exciting project that is top secret until we are ready to release it. It\u2019s a big undertaking but will definitely have an impact, we&#8217;re very excited about it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was your family who persuaded you to pursue modeling. Have they been supportive in all that you\u2019ve accomplished and how?<\/p>\n<p><strong>MARIE:<script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/strong> A family friend actually first brought that idea to me just after I graduated high school. I didn&#8217;t even really consider it at first, as that was never something I thought was a possibility being from a small town in Idaho. My family ended up giving me the final push and support to go for it. They are my biggest fans and I don&#8217;t know how long I would have lasted without their support. As you can see, I&#8217;ve dabbled in many different things and they&#8217;ve always rooted me along whatever path I&#8217;m on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I read that you enjoy writing and wrote some treatments. Is there any chance your production company will make any screenplays of yours?<\/p>\n<p><strong>MARIE:<\/strong> I&#8217;m currently working on something with a writing partner. We have a few ideas of where we want to take it but its definitely a possibility that my company will work on something I&#8217;ve created in the future, if not this project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed all the videos on your website especially your voice for the character \u2018Sergeant Jaxo\u2019. How did you get into voiceovers and will there be more in the near future?<\/p>\n<p><strong>MARIE: <\/strong>When I lived in Seattle, my theatrical agent had me audition for a vo job for Nintendo. I really didn&#8217;t know what I was doing but ended up booking it, which was a huge surprise! The role of Sergeant Jaxo in &#8216;Star Wars: The Old Republic&#8217; was my third vo audition ever, not too long after I moved to Los Angeles. I was elated that I booked it! It ended up being three years of work before the game was released, and I enjoyed every minute of it! The voice director, Will Beckman, is very accomplished and made the experience even more amazing. I absolutely love being the voice of Seargent Jaxo and doing voice work in general. I&#8217;ve worked on quite a few vo projects since then and certainly hope there will be a lot more to come!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Shane Van Dyke appears like a fun talented person to work with. How was the experience working with him on \u2018Titanic II\u2019?<\/p>\n<p><strong>MARIE: <\/strong>Shane is so talented, first of all. He has a lot more to show than what we&#8217;ve seen of him so far. I loved working with him! He has such a unique sense of humor and had me laughing between pretty much every take! It was difficult to compose myself sometimes before it was time to be back on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Marie!
