INT: Denice Duff

2- You’re known to horror fans as Michelle the female vampire in the Subspecies series. Any funny, memorable set stories you can share with us?

I actually ate a spider just before a take because I wasn’t feeling “dangerous” enough, I had gotten too giddy with the crew, so I saw a spider
on the set, crushed it with my fingers and ate it, just then the Director
said “Action”.

3- What kind of preparation,
research did you do when you first got the part of Michelle the vampire?

Rented Vampire flicks, read Anne Rice, then thought of Michelle as a Hollywood Blvd junkie or Hooker lost on the streets trying
to make her way back.

4- You did lots of TV and film…what was the most challenging part for you as an actress and why?

The best scene was with Marlee Matlin on the TV show “Reasonable Doubts” where I killed my dad for sexual
harassment and wanted to let the world know about it! The writing was great, I cried every take on
film.

5- You’re also a talented photographer…any other
art forms you’re interested in?

I love playing the bongos and any percussion instrument.

6- Was it hard to keep a straight face while filming Frogtown 2?

YES!!!

7- When you’re not acting, what does Denice Duff like to do?

Photography, kiss my daughter, eat, kiss my daughter, take photos, talk on the phone with my girl friends and cheer them up!

8- In this world, what’s the one thing that touches you the most, moves you the most? (deep)

When somebody helps another without any benefit to themselves. Mark Harmon saw a woman with a flat tire on the freeway and
pulled over to help her and was late to the set on a show I was working on
with him. I loved that.

9- Can we expect to see you in another Subspecies? What are
your future projects?

Part 5 is a prequel and tells you how Radu became a Vampire and I play
Michelle’s reincarnated version. It’s 9th century .We start it this summer in Romania.

10- What’s the worst horror flick you’ve ever seen?
