![]() ![]() I feel like Euphoria was one of those that I had to be a part of.ĮLORDI: For me, I just wanna work on something that makes me wanna get out of bed in the morning. There are things that I think I wanted and I really liked, but I didn’t get. Everything I know that I’ve wanted, I’ve gotten. When you read something, you get a feeling or you don’t. I have a certain taste level, and I’ve been really true to that, and will continue to be true to that. I just know what I like when read something. I’m grateful to have worked with some incredible filmmakers. When you are considering projects, what is it that you look for?ĭEMIE: I’ve always been like extremely specific and picky. I think that was just established from the moment we were in that room together, during the audition. I have a hard time being vulnerable, especially with men, so any other person, I maybe would have had a guard up, but it felt very comfortable and easy to let that down, working with him.ĮLORDI: Some mornings, I would get to work, and she would just walk in my trailer and we’d sit for two hours, talking and shooting the breeze. He’s such a great actor, and also just really a sweet person, in real life. It was the first time that I was ever truly lost in the character and what was going on.ĭEMIE: I could have, because I’m a professional, but acting alongside, and doing such crazy traumatic, physical and emotional work, I’m so grateful. At the end of the shoot, good luck finding Alexa and Jacob because it was Maddy and Nate. By Episode 5, I took a step back and realized that these kids are madly in love with each other. ![]() In the first episodes, it’s established that it’s tortured and it’s not good. For me, by Episode 5, the biggest thing was falling into the love aspect of it. What was it like for you guys to be a part of such a collaborative environment, and to really get a voice in your characters and work? Did you have to find your voice and get used to being encouraged to speak up?ĭEMIE: Yeah, I think we grew with the characters.ĮLORDI: We grew with them, 100%. Even though these directors came in, it was still very much that they were walking into Sam’s world, and then doing such a beautiful job with us, in getting the performances needed to complete it. Even when Augustine was directing, he was there, every minute of the day and night. The tone changes a little bit, depending on which characters are being spotlighted in each episode, so it seems like those different perspectives could really help and make an impact on a show like this.ĮLORDI: These were very much our characters, and Sam helped us build them, but then, when someone new came in, they would ask us, what does it feel like for you? How have you been doing this? It was this collaborative thing that everyone carried, as a unit.ĭEMIE: Sam was so involved. It was like this instant like family bond. And then, when we met, it was like we knew each other, forever. Even with being Rue, she was in my dream before I met her. That’s gonna be Nate.” And then, I went to a sandwich shop and there was a cheese called Euphoria. When I saw at the very first audition, he was walking down the street and I instantly went, “That’s Nate. Weirdly, everything came into place, spiritually.ĭEMIE: Yeah, it was a spiritual experience. When it comes to something with this quality and substance, I was at the end of my tether. We were all in these places that were just this very classic Hollywood existence, so maybe it read on our faces that we were dying for it. I was essentially homeless when I auditioned for it. I knew that I wanted it, and I just kept my eye on that, the entire time.ĮLORDI: From then to now, it’s just been incredibly strange. So, the auditioning process is really hard, but I stayed really focused. ![]() He actually went through looks with me and told me what to wear. From day one, Sam was very collaborative, even in the audition room. When met me for our chemistry read, he remembers me having a giant bag of different costumes because I just wanted to be that character. DEMIE: Yeah, a lot of actors don’t like auditions. ![]()
