I saw Emily Dole who plays Mt.
Fiji and thought: You know what?
There might be a role for me on this show.
How did yourCrazy Ex-Girlfriendbosses take the news?Aline cried and Rachel screamed.
I said c’mon dont tell anyone till I actually sign my contract.
But every meeting we went to they toldeveryone.
[Laughs]
One of my favorite things aboutGLOWis how sisterly a show it isapparently on-screen and off.Its insane.
I think weve all said it.
The way society is built theres no way the 15 of us should be as close as we are.
Theres none of that.
Its refreshing and amazing.
There is so much support and love but alsosomuch talking.
When we have issues we talk to each other.
And if we have an issue?
People joke, are youreallythat close?
Ive been texting everyone all morning.
Bless our crew, they put up with so much laughing and screaming and crying.
And Im a sweat-er.
I just sweat a lot.
Someone else could have really been grossed out.
But yes, we have had to do it all and gotten used to sweat, spit and blood.
!We got nails and sometimes you accidentally scratch people.
Thats what is so great about the show: we really put the pretty aside.
We want to show our strength in its most natural state.
Ive always been athleticI was a cheerleader and I work out.
But I was nervous thinking I was going tocrushsome of these smaller women.
But I learned you are in a partnership together and thats what makes wrestling great.
Going into season two we wanted to go bigger and we wanted to go strongerwe definitely have done that.
To play such a truly sweet and kind character has been eye opening.
GLOWseason 2 premieres June 29 on Netflix.
