“What struck me, and I’m quoting from the character description, is that ‘she is wickedly smart, confident and not afraid to speak up,’ ” begins Grace. “That really stuck with me. So I sent in a tape [in February], and I didn’t hear anything until a month later. Then the offer came. I was completely surprised because I didn’t meet up with anybody. I didn’t talk to anybody.”
After landing the role in the spin-off, Grace then discovered she would be on the “mothership”, too. “It was definitely exciting,” admits Grace. “Marnie [Saitta, DAYS’s casting director] called and said they were thrilled with my tape and super excited about my character. She gave me the rundown of how things would work so I wouldn’t be too spooked because the process is very different [from other projects].”
Starting out on BEYOND SALEM helped ease Grace into the medium. “I found out from my cast members afterward that some of them were a little jealous of me,” confides Grace. “Because with the Peacock special, we go slightly slower. It’s not a definite one-take-perscene type of thing. Everyone was like, ‘It’s so cool that you got to break into it via Peacock and really get your feet wet before jumping into the main show.’ ”
