SmutCutter:
So no word on Carnivale coming back I guess - do you see Dora Mae coming back in a spirit form if the show did return? AmandaAday:
Dan and I discussed it briefly but really it's up to him, I would love to more than anything though purplpepl_eater:
what is up with the peeling skin scene...I wonder every time I see it? AmandaAday:
Much like snakes and other reptiles Gecko sheds, so I help groom him when he does dlhalper:
Were you surprised by the loyal and passionate response you've gotten from Carnivale fans? AmandaAday:
I have been suprised by the response I've gotten from the show. But I knew going into it that the show would be something
amazing. dlhalper:
Amanda, do you and any of the other cast members keep in touch? AmandaAday:
I haven't kept in touch with anyone sadly, we've all been very busy I think KateBCG:
Amanda, was it hard for you going into a project with such an ensemble cast knowing you would only be around for five eps?
It was such a shock to us, the audience... AmandaAday:
Not at all. I definitely cried when it was time to leave, but I was so honored to be a part of the whole thing. purplpepl_eater:
I noticed that harlot was no longer on your forehead. AmandaAday:
No in death you revert to your normal self. blondeambition:
I am assuming that wasnt really YOU hanging from the tree when Jonesy found Dora Mae? AmandaAday:
Oh yes it was, I was in a harness on a crane AmandaAday:
it was soo much fun Diane:
Were you also lowered into the ground, Amanda? AmandaAday:
That was a dummy body in the grave. Bensgirl_Jenn<---:
Amanda, You looked absolutely beautiful in Babylon, Did you feel pressured to be as "thin" as say Carla Gallo? AmandaAday:
Never Carla is gorgeous and I have no desire to be thinner. I am trying to break down the walls for plus size actresses. zeeny:
Question, Michael J and/or Amanda. What explanation did you get from writers/screenplay directors on the window scene in the
Babylon episode?(I'm not asking what it means, but what did they AmandaAday:
Um about the window scene... that was showing that I had crossed over and been trapped in Bab as well. Aprilsong:
Ms. Aday-- Cynthia has told us she was nervous about doing the nudity--How did you feel about it? AmandaAday:
About the nudity... I was definetly nervous. But I understood it as a necessity for the context of the show. So I took a shot
of whiskey and tore the robe right off! AmandaAday:
That was one of my favorite scenes too. Not too hard to flirt with Nick and such a great piece of writing. blondeambition:
it was great Amanda! EVEn tho Nick didnt say a WORD! He didnt have to! lol AmandaAday:
A little secret about that scene... I was overheard saying that about my boob in costuming and Dawn asked if she could write
it the script somewhere and that scene was born. me:
Amanda who killed you? Was it Ben? AmandaAday:
Stangler killed me so that the miners would have someone to "Dance" with. Bensgirl_Jenn<---:
Amanda did you always know that your character was only going to be in a few episodes and if so did it make it any harder
for you knowing when your time was up? AmandaAday:
Yes I always knew. At first they wouldn't tell me why though. Bensgirl_Jenn<---:
Amanda , What was it like auditioning for Dora Mae? AmandaAday:
It was fun. John, who cast the show, is an acquaintance so we just chatted away. voodoochild:
Amanda, did you get a "bible" for Dora Mae like Michael got for Samson? AmandaAday:
nope I was left in the dark Michelle:
so, michael and amanda...any moments that strike you as your favourite? AmandaAday:
There was a scene that was cut between Gecko and I that predicted my demise, but I'd have to say the scene at the bar between
Strangler and I we had some very fun chemistry rosetintedworld:
were there alot of scenes cut out of the show? AmandaAday:
Not too many no Diane:
Amanda, saw the Dora Mae corpse photos. How long for that in make-up? AmandaAday:
the Harlot make-up was fast, but the corpse is a Dummy kya:
Amanda, was that you being carried out to the grave? AmandaAday:
no that's the dummy Nayzo:
wow, that was an extremely convincing dummy AmandaAday:
yes it is called a life cast. It is a mold that is made from my face, arms and hands. The rest is carved foam AmandaAday:
they poor liquid rubber on you with two staws stickin' out your nose to breathe AmandaAday:
yowwza! AmandaAday:
I enjoyed it but I'm kinda crazy rosetintedworld:
