Season 5, Episode 11: Interview with Brande Roderick (Tanya) from Wes Craven’s “Dracula II: Ascension” (2003)

Brande - my 200th guest!It was wonderful to finally sit down with Brande and talk to her about her role in Wes Craven’s “Dracula II: Ascension” and getting a better understanding of what it was like to play her role as ‘Tanya’ and to gain insight what it was like to film the movie as well. We also dived in about her movie, “Wineville” which happens to be her directorial debut! I am certain that the movie is going to make an impact in the horror community. It’s most certainly a great achievement for any actress to direct her first film, especially when you are as talented as she is. We also kind of went off topic and spoke about her role in “Starsky and Hutch” acting alongside Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson! She gave a little tidbit about a scene that was 100% improvised and the director kept that scene in the movie.Brande provides some resounding advice for those aspiring actors and actresses at the end of the interview, advice you might want to take her up on.You can catch Brande in the horror convention circuit but mostly in her most recent movie, “Wineville” which can be watch anywhere where movies are streamed. You can also follow her on Facebook and Instagram and show her your support!
