- First, it is an pleasure for myself to make this interview with you Karen. Thank you for your time for the Fans on The-Entertainment-junkie.de

​

​

You started your career with little roles in "Drop Dead Diva" , "Whole World Comedy" and some other projects. When did you first discover your passion for the world of Entertainment?
I’ve been acting since I was a child. The acting bug hit me early and I was doing plays/musical theater by the age of ten. I studied TV/commercials in high school and graduated from Spelman College with a degree in theater.

 

 

How did you get cast for the show as Bertie?
Same as any other project - I auditioned via self-tape

 

When you look back at this time and your work in TWD. What do you remember most?
How wild it is to be a teeny-tiny part of something so huge. Huge in every way. SO many people working, so many people watching, so much everything. I’ve met a lot of really great people, several of whom I’m still in regular contact with.
Also, how weird it is to have dismembered bloody body parts scattered all over your workplace?

​

- Thank you being my guest Karen and best wishes for the future. I hope to see you one day in Germany.
