Aubrey Plaza is having a moment. The 38-year-old actress is earning rave reviews for her roles in Emily the Criminal and Season 2 of the Emmy award-winning series, The White Lotus. Here, she chats to WHO about her own 'criminal' activity and her life-changing moment with a late actor.
Tell us about your character, Emily.
Yes! Emily is from New Jersey and finds herself in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, she has a criminal record and a past she can't shake while trying to get a job. She's having a hard time. So, she decides to do the small crime of credit card fraud. She finds out she's good at it and she gets in way over her head.
Do you share any similarities with Emily?
I had a tough period of time after school, before I got my big break. I grinded it out in New York with different jobs in hospitality and at a temp agency. I did odd jobs and I used that time as an inspiration. I'm lucky I got to start acting pretty soon after that, but I remember that feeling.
Watching the film, I questioned whether I would engage in illegal activity if I was really down on my luck like Emily, and I'd have to say I would!
