“Meghan was suggested to the producers by ourcasting director,” Boris told us. “She was an up-and-comer at the time and noone had any idea who she was. When I first saw her reel, she was a lot morebeautiful than what I felt was right for the character, but it was clear thatshe had a good sense of comedic timing and a great energy on-screen, which iswhat ultimately won me over.”

Boris, who also helped revise the film’sscript, noticed that Meghan truly had a grasp on her craft. “Aside from all the guys on crew fawning overher, Meghan impressed everyone by being very skilled when it came to the moretechnical aspects of acting - things like quickly picking up scene blocking,hitting her marks and finding her light with great ease.”

Overall, it seems that Meghan brought a lot tothe table. “One of my favorite aspects of working with her was that Meghan was avery skilled ad-libber and had a great sense of humor. A lot of herimprovisations ended up in the film," he said. "Ultimately, she was an actor who wasn'tafraid to take risks and look silly, which is in my opinion one of the mostimportant skills for a performer to have.”
