On Tuesday, June 19, Latinos Laugh Out Loud was held in Los Angeles.
The evening featured the world premiere of the sitcom “Sweet Mary and
Jane,” starring Marisa Quinn (@Marisa_Quinn,)
who plays Huilen in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.” His
Golden Eyes’ staffer, Amy, got a chance to chat with Marisa about her
new sitcom and her Twilight experience so far.
HGE: Did you get a chance to see the Entertainment Weekly pictures and what did you think?
Marisa: Are you kidding? I saw that and you want to know how I saw that? Because of you – because I follow Amy (@OhMyCarlisle)
on twitter. She’s amazing. My most favorite picture was of my dear
friend Judi. Judi Shekoni (Zafrina) and Tracey Heggins (Senna) look
amazing in the Amazonian outfits; and just seeing them in person was
incredible. Everyone is beautiful in person.
HGE: Coming into the Twilight Saga, there are people that have been in
it since the beginning and people just coming into it. What was it like
coming into the series so close to the very end?
Marisa: First of all it was a complete and utter shock. Twilight had
become so huge that it was not even possible to get a role in that film
as an actor. Then it just came out of nowhere. It fell into my lap and
as a fan it was crazy. I could not believe I was going to be the face of
a character that I had imaged so often in my head.
HGE: You are playing Huilen. What was it like playing a character that has such a pivotal role?
Marisa: It was really important to speak to J.D. (Pardo who plays
Nahuel). He was the first person I met when I got to the set and we just
talked about the experience the must have had. Were they scared? Were
they proud and warriors? Were they ready to fight? What did it mean to
them to make this journey so far for people they had never even met
before? It was incredible.
HGE: In a couple weeks we have Comic Con. Are we going to see you there?
Marisa: Rumors are swirling that something big is going to go down. Who
knows that it will be, but I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll be lucky
enough to be a part of it. My bet is if you have a ticket your mind will
be blown. I mean it’s the final movie and they’d be crazy not to pull
out all the stops.
HGE: What has the Twilight fan experience been like so far?
Marisa: It’s been so exciting! From the very first announcement of my
casting, they just welcomed me with open arms. I met people like you who
are so willing to let me know what the fandom is like. I thought I was a
fan, but I didn’t realize quite what that meant. You guys are true,
true, insane, amazing, like, just makes my heart swell fans and your
love of the books and the movies just makes our job so special. Honestly
every day we were on set we were on set for the fans. Anytime we were
tired we were just like ‘we are so luck to be here, and we need to make
this the best movie ever for everyone who loves this book as much as we
do.’
HGE: Thanks, Marisa. Anything else you want to add before we sign off?
Marisa: Watch the “Sweet Mary and Jane” trailer on youtube
