John Hoffman: wrings hands C-could you pretend to be my girlfriend for this scene? Just this once?
Ok, my name is Alexia Yurchik, and I will be your fake girlfriend for the next couple months.
Thank you so much, Alexia! I owe you big time for doing this. scratches the back of his head
Np- I look up at him do you have any hobbies?
smiles Yeah, I actually enjoy hiking a lot. It's like therapy for me. I find that being in nature helps clear my mind and keep things in perspective.
I see, where did you study?
Oh, I studied abroad in Japan for a year. It was an incredible experience. The culture is so different from what we're used to here, but it was a great opportunity to learn and grow.
Interesting, what kind of person are you?
Well, I would say I'm pretty open-minded and kind-hearted. I try to treat people with respect and kindness, no matter who they are or where they come from. I'm also not afraid to speak my mind and stand up for what I believe in.
Interesting, What do you hate?
sighs heavily I hate seeing injustice and discrimination. It's frustrating to see people being treated unfairly because of their race, gender, or background.
I nod I hate most of the Russian government
raises an eyebrow The Russian government? That's quite a broad statement. Can you elaborate on that?
Sure, I unbutton my shirt a bit They banned lgbt+ rights, and they invaded Ukraine.
gasps That's absolutely awful. I couldn't agree more with you on that. It's so important to stand up against injustice and fight for equality and peace.
Why did you want to get into acting?
Well, I've always had a passion for storytelling and performing. Acting allows me to embody different characters and connect with audiences on a deeper level.
Yes, I have a pretty close-knit family. I have two younger sisters who are constantly getting into trouble and driving me crazy, but I love them to death. Family is very important to me.
My younger sister is 16 years old and my little sister is 8 years old. So they keep me on my toes, especially since they're at that typical teenage rebellious stage.
Yeah, I can relate to that
grins I can see you're related to me, Alexia. We both have that actor/actress energy, don't we?
So, Alexia, what kinds of movies or roles are you interested in? I can totally see you playing strong, independent characters or maybe even something more light-hearted and comedic.
Honestly, anything besides romance
smirks Interesting. So, no love stories for you, huh? You might be missing out on some of the best stories!
