ARROW IN THE HEAD
INTERVIEWS
BRANDE RODERICK

 

The
lovely Brande Roderick has had a multi faceted career thus far. From acting on
TV shows (Baywatch, Beverly Hills 90210), to posing for PlayBoy pictorials,
to appearing in mainstream films (Starchy and Hutch) and finally to kicking
it within the horror genre (Dracula 2: Ascension and the more recent Hood of
Horror). I had the opportunity to mud wrestle with the smart and gorgeous
gal, and here’s who came up on top.

 


Would you say that you enjoy horror films? If so what are some of your
favorites?

Absolutely, my very first one was Exorcist at 6 years old I watched it with
my mom.  But the scariest one for me would have to be Nightmare On Elm St.
 At the time I was 14 years old and my girlfriend and I watched and got so
scared we slept on my parent’s bedroom floor.

You play trashy Tiffany in the upcoming “Hood of Horror”; what was it
about the role that appealed to you?

The comedy aspect, she was so outrageously over the top, and any time I can
do a southern accent is great!

The part required you to be involved with ample fake blood and guts; how
did you find the prosthetics experience?

A little invasive.  I had to lay on my back with my legs spread apart while
men rubbed my body with the goo.  Meanwhile, my boyfriend is sitting there
watching them do it. Not the most comfortable situation for anyone. Those
poor guys were probably petrified that they were either going to get beat
up.

There was a lot of humor within the role (and the film), is comedy
something that comes easy for you or do you have to work at it?

Comedy is very easy for me; it’s my favorite thing to do. And I’m very
blessed that it is easy for me, because for most it’s not.

If it would be up to you, what kind of role in what type of film would
you love to tackle?

I’d like to do a nerd to beauty romantic type comedy.  Where I get to be
underdone then go through a transformation into a butterfly. Because I feel
I could relate to that.  And I love romantic comedy’s

 



You were Ranked #96 in FHM’s 2005 "100 Sexiest Women in the World” list.
How much of a shot to the ego was that?

That was very exciting for me; however it was quite disappointing this year
because I wasn’t picked at all.  Hint hint, in case anyone wants to vote for
me this year.

 


That’s why she was
voted one of the


"100 Sexiest Women in the World”!



What does Brande Roderick do to relax when she’s not working?

I watch "Oprah" and "Rockstar Supernova."  I also like to read and go
hiking. And lastly I like to do Jell-O wrestling with my friends, J/K.

You’ve appeared in Playboy twice thus far, would you say it helped your
career, was detrimental or it didn’t make a difference?

I feel it definitely helped my career, I feel every job is a platform for
the next. It gave me the confidence and opportunity for many things.

Any desire to do Playboy again or are you done with it?

I never say never, I’m not ruling it out.

What’s next for you as an actress? In what will we see you next?

Nanny Diaries opposite Scarlet Johansson. The film is being produced by the
Weinstein Company and will be out in 2007.  Love, Fear and Rabbits opposite
Joey Lauren Adams. Toxic opposite Tom Seizmore.  "Celebrity Fear Factor"
that airs August 29, 2006 and my recurring role on "The Game," a new series
for The CW where I play a football players wife. The show is a spin-off form
the very successful Girlfriend series, which is produced by Kelsey Grammer,
who also produces this show, which is a ½ comedy about NFL football players
and the women in their lives. The show will air Sunday nights at 8:30 to
premiere October 1st.

What was the first drink that you consumed at the Hood of Horror wrap
party?

I didn’t get to go because I was out of town working on nanny diaries. But
we are going to have a huge party after our screening at the Chinese theatre
on Friday the 13th of October at Hollywood and highlands nightclub. Maybe
I’ll have a Bloody Mary!

I’d like to thank Brande for
dropping by and embellishing the site and wish her the best in all of her aspirations.
