I was very happy to get the chance to participate in a conference call with two of the lead actors on the new NBC drama Mercy. Michelle Trachtenberg & Taylor Schilling sat down to answer some questions about the show and their careers. It was a fun interview and here’s what was discussed:
Q: I was wondering, Michelle, what you find challenging about your role?
Michelle Trachtenberg: I play Nurse Chloe Payne. She is basically a new nurse at Mercy. She’s fresh out of school. I think its probably more challenging to make sure that all of our medical situations are 100% accurate. We do have medical experts on set which is very helpful. Making sure that combining the medical challenges with the emotion is probably the biggest challenge and making sure it’s all on par and that we’re honoring real life nurses.
Q: Taylor, how has the chemistry grown between the characters since the show began and now?
Taylor Schilling: I think the more that we all get to know each other, the easier it is to work together and the more kind of fun it is. I think that that’s probably reflected in the characters’ relationships as well. You know, time is always a good thing; it’s always nice to have more time with the people you’re working with.
Q: Michelle, we remember you as an Buffy alumnus; how do you feel about the film being remade?
Michelle Trachtenberg: I haven’t heard too much about it but I think it’s great. I mean, there was a Buffy film already so I’m sure they’ll meet some challenges finding new things.
Q: Do you think they’ll do one for (Joss)’s version and would you want to be in it?
