Acting

Kirby Bliss Blanton

Please introduce yourself
Hey everyone! I’m Kirby Bliss Blanton!

What got you into acting?
When I was younger and I was in Texas, which is where I’m from, I did a lot of modeling and my agent had studied an acting division so they were recruiting a lot of people and we took lessons and did a lot of commercials. It was a lot more commercial oriented but we started doing a bit of acting so I got into it from there and then I found my agent and came out here.

What are the best and worst parts about acting?
Let’s start with the worst. You can’t really know what your day to day life is going to be, you can never know what you’re doing! I don’t like that because you can’t plan ahead. Also the rejection gets hard. People always say don’t go to acting because you get a lot of rejection but you get used to it, it’s just that if you really want something, that’s when it really hurts. After audition after audition after audition, it doesn’t matter but if you’re concentrated on one project, that’s when it hurts. You wonder why you didn’t get it and if you’re good enough and all that stuff. The best parts are just that I love doing it and auditioning and being able to play different roles and everything. I just love the industry, I love watching TV and acting and everything to do with it. I just hate parts of it…not everything is perfect.

Who’s the coolest person you’ve met through acting?
That’s tough. Hopefully I’ll meet a lot more but the guy that played my dad on Scar. He’s a comedian and he taught me so much about the industry and gave me great advice. He doesn’t do just one part of the industry and he taught me to be well rounded in the industry and everything. I took a lot from that and I’m starting a lot. He’s a really cool guy.

Who do you really want to work with in the future?
I think I would love to work with Sienna Miller, I love her, Rachel McAdams and Scarlett Johansson! I’d love to work with them and learn what it’s been like for them etc!

What future projects are coming out soon?
Right now my first feature, called Scar. It’s the first horror film in HD 3D! It’s premiering at the French film festival so that’s going to be cool! That’s what I’ve been working on currently and auditioning for pilot season etc. I also just did a music video for this upcoming band called Billy Boy on Poison.

Films

Most embarrassing moment on set
I haven’t had that many embarrassing moments but I guess the very first day shooting the movie, I had to kiss the guy that plays my boyfriend and it was so uncomfortable! And we just had to keep going over and over! You hear stories about how long you have to do a scene but you really do have to do it a million times! It was so uncomfortable because we were in a hot room, it was our first day so we were just getting to know each other and we basically ended around 1 o clock in the morning! It was crazy! And it wasn’t a peck either! It was a full on thing!

Have you ever had a crush on set?
Not really! I wish I could say that I’ve worked with one of my big crushes! I’m fond of a lot of the people that I worked with but no-one that I was interested in.

Who’s your celebrity crush?
I think James Franco is really hot!

Who’s been your favourite co-actor?
It depends. All of my Disney and nickelodeon stuff was really fun because I’m friends with all of those people but I think either Mitchel Musso, who’s a really good friend of mine and we had so much fun on the set of Hannah Montana, and also Angela Bettis from Scar! She’s been in so many horror films! She’s such an amazing dramatic actress! I learnt so much from her! She was really cool! They’re both on two completely different levels!
