Episode 272: Marci T. House Returns

It’s been three years since we last had the phenomenally talented Marci T. House in the YVR Screen Scene Podcast hot seat. Back then, we spoke about her then-upcoming role in Julie and The Phantoms, #covidlife, stage acting vs. screen acting vs. architecture, the many ways CBC’s Strange Empire was ahead of its time, and why she stays in Vancouver. Since then, Marci has been busy in an array of projects. She lit up the stage in Harlem Duet, a performance that critics called “stellar” and “superb.” And in the critically acclaimed and absolutely thrilling eight-part series The Devil in Ohio, she played Adele Thornton, Suzanne's coworker who'd heard a few things about the darkness hiding in Amon County. She had a fantastic role in Tribal as Victoria Mann, a task force leader who spars with Brian Markinson’s Buke, and another as Charlotte, Bean’s mama, in Ivy and Bean. More recently, she’s been helming Monster High as Headmistress Bloodgood, and she had a powerful role in Rukiya Bernard’s poignant short film, Meditation 4 Black Women, which was created as part of the internationally renowned Crazy8s filmmaking competition. Marci also got a puppy named BiBi, a smol French bulldog with his own Instagram account, @bibilefrenchbouledogue. In this riveting and fun interview – which includes plenty of input from BiBi – Marci talks Monster High, Meditation 4 Black Women, her newfound passion for onesies, what actors lose when they can’t audition in a room, how far the industry has really come since the summer of “hashtag activism,” and the BiBi of it all.
