Amy plays feisty Tinkerballa, a character full of attitude with a healthy competetive streak.. luckily for us, she turned out to be lovely in reality.
Born in Torrance, California. Amy began dancing when she was 13 and shortly got an agent, which eventually led to appearances in television commercials, music video as a dancer, and print as a model. She has booked an array of print jobs around the globe, such as ads for Apple laptop computers, Verizon, and for Jamie Kenedy’s “Kicking it Old School.” Also in her resume are commercials such as Shoe Carnival, Japanese soft-drink company Suntory,and voice-over for AT&T. More recently she has also landed a role in the TV show “Californication” with David Duchovy. “The Guild” is her first recurring role. Amy hopes to continue her wide sphere of activity, especially in her pursuits of acting.
We fired over a short e-mail and so heres the interview.. proving conclusively that you don't ask.. you don't get. enjoy.
Hardcore effect: First and foremost, huge congrats on winning our "Best Thing On the Internet Award", we hope you are as stoked about getting it as we are about giving it to you. With all that porn out there, who'd have thought it? Anyway, how does it feel to be crowned top dogs? How will you celebrate? Because you so should celebrate.
Amy - YAY!! Me and Robin will be partying...the rest of the cast may be playing WOW.. hAHAHHAA. Jk
Throughout this interview, we'll be firing some pretty odd questions your way, we figured you'd be tired of the same old questions and so we'll do our best to keep it fresh.. like this; Its a fight to the death, we've all been there. Which cast member would win?
-me, DUH. LOL
We're sure you must get a lot of positive feedback, but as we know all too well, the net is also full of morons. How do you deal with negative comments? Do you find heavy criticism a problem?
- I actually dont read much stuff about us, because I dont think ill take the negative comments too well. haha. when we were on YouTube I made sure not to read ANY comments below the video, cause unlike my character Tink, I'm too sensitive!!!
Last Summer, we wrote a guide to being metrosexual. Clearly,we understand the importance of looking "freaky, sexy good" at all times. Who spends the longest sorting their appearance before getting down to work?
-Definitely the three boys. They are always hogging that make-up chair!! HAHA TOTALLY KIDDING
We have discovered that no story involving 14 beers and take-out food has a happy ending. Do you guys ever partake in wild parties and nights around town after shooting?
-umm, not too often but me, Robin, Sandeep, Jeff, and couple of our friends had fun one night after Blizzcon drinking and playing the game "Never Have I Ever" at the hotel. Had some good laughs there.
We once received a bit of coverage during the BBC's coverage of cricket, sparking a huge debate about baked goods, what is the weirdest thing any of you have had to do in promoting the Guild?
-Luckily, nothing that wierd. Just telling our friends and family to watch the show, you know, the boring stuff :)
Picture the scene: You book a short break to Europe, just to take sometime for yourselves, but there's a mistake and you end up in the small industrial town of Delmenhorst, famous for linoleum production. What would you do to amuse yourselves?
-Drinking age in Europe is 18 right? :)
Speaking of Europe, we'd love to hear your opinions if you've ever been our way? The Welsh once saved Ravi's life
-Aww my dream is to go to Europe!! I definitely want to visit Italy (so romantic :)), and France of course (Fashion Capital of the world!!)
You may not be aware, but you are our first guests to escape the dreaded Dangerwank question. Its on google, but we'd hate to be the source of any accidents, no-one needs another Micheal Hutchence, but less about us, who do you all take most inspiration from?
-My Dog Lola. She dominates the world. lol
Ravi, Adam and I recently started a short lived Austro-German Lounge-jazz-funk-fusion ensemble, replete with spangly jackets, keytars, handlebar moustaches and mullets. How much would you each charge, were we to approach you about appearing in a music video? We could offer all the currywurst you can eat.
-I'd love to be in a music video! im a dancer, so im all about that!!
Let's get straight to the point, you're a grade 1 hottie. Has being in the show increased the number of drooling men you've had to avoid in the street?
-OMG, I definitely don't consider myself a "grade 1 hottie" AT ALL. I think i still look like a 12 year old boy!!! But to be honest, I had the most boys chasing me around in elementary school when I thought boys were disgusting. Now that I'm actually interested in boys, not so much...lol
Your character has a rather feisty attitude. Does this kind of role come naturally to you?
-It does in a way. Dont get me wrong, I am not like Tink at all in real life (Im nice, i swear!). But Tink definitely reminds me of how I was when I was younger. I was really into sports and was really competitive, mean, and did not take crap from anyone. Luckily, I grew out of that, which is good, since i probably wouldnt have any friends if i stayed that way!
We saw you in Californication, another great show. We hear David Duchovny is taller in real-life. Is that true? How was your experience on the show?
-Oh, I didnt know people thought he was short? LOL . It was really fun, I mean I only had one line, but they gave me like my own little trailor which was exciting. Watching David Duchovny rehearse and actually work was really cool too. All we get to see on TV is the finished product, and the actors' best take, but being able to see the process the actors go through to get to that best take is really interesting.
Which member of the cast of The Guild has impressed you most?
-Well I absolutely LOVE what Sandeep does with his character, Zaboo. And the fact that acting isnt his "thing" is mind blowing (he mainly a writer, director, producer?) But I think every single cast member is great :)
Away from filming, whats your favourite thing to do to relax?
-SHOPPING. Its really bad, but i just cant help it. I need The Guild to make me more money to support this horrible and dangerous addiction. haha
What are your plans for the future? Where can we catch you on the net or TV aside from in The Guild? or is some "Amy time" in order?
-For now, some "Amy Time" is definitely in order. Im going to school at the University of Southern California full time, which takes up a lot of my time. I'm just living and loving my college years and when I graduate, then maybe I can start really concentrating on acting. I'm a film major, so I know I want to stay in the industry, whether I'm acting, or doing something behind the camera.
