Q & A: Linnea Sage

If there’s one thing – and there is more than one thing, by the way – that’s refreshing about the new web series Wildcats it’s that it’s got something to say. Sure, it’s funny, and the cast – led by New York actor Linnea Sage – are particularly funny, but it encompasses an important and empowering message that most television series, let alone web series would be bothered or brave enough to include.

Actress. Model. Voice-Over Artist. Is there anything we’re missing? You’re definitely mutli-talented, Linnea!

Ha! I don’t think you’re missing anything.

Were you surprised by the success of Wildcats?

Nothing is a guaranteed success. We were just passionate about the project and were going to make it and love it and work hard on it no matter what. It is extremely amazing and fortunate that it got such a great response. 

When did you know it was a hit?

When I attended the premiere for it. I got to watch a bunch of people react to it and go totally crazy for it so I had a feeling that the internet might like it, too. 

Do you believe it’s the show’s combination of laughs and life lessons that can be attributed to its popularity? 

Is there a formula? I’m not sure. I think everyone who worked on the production was extremely talented and very dedicated. The writing is wonderful, and I think the fact that it is based on a very true story and circumstances makes it even more appealing. 

Are you confident there’ll be more episodes?

Absolutely!

Now that you’re chasing film and television roles,  can you genuinely say that one type of work – either the voice-over work or acting roles – is easier to get than the other?

It’s different for everyone, of course. I believe that luck is when preparation meets opportunity. There’s a lot of luck involved, and all you can do is to be prepared.

Do you feel your voice-over work has helped you get in a room though? Has it opened doors for acting?

My reputation in the voice over world certainly shows people that I am reliable and good at my job. 

You do a lot of voice overs for commercials. Would you like to do one in a big, animated movie some day?

Disney princess, fluffy pegasus/unicorn baby, evil Lego-stegosaurus ... Just spitballing here! I’m game for anything!

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

  Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends.  With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher.  When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up.  Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila!  Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink.  The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink.  The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices.   In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors.  The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort.  It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
