BEHIND THESE HAZEL EYES: REBECCA MARSHALL ACCORDING TO REBECCA MARSHALL’S TWITTER PAGE, THE TORONTO BORN BEAUTY IS “AN ARTIST, ANIMAL LOVER, A LOYAL CAPRICORN, AND PRETTY FUNNY” BUT WE KNOW SHE’S MORE THAN JUST 140 CHARACTERS OR LESS. SURE, SHE WAS IN THE FINAL ‘SAW’ MOVIE AND HAS BRUSHED SHOULDERS WITH ASHTON KUTCHER ON ‘TWO AND A HALF MEN,’ BUT WHAT WE’RE MESMERIZED BY IS THE GORGEOUS MIND BEHIND THOSE EQUALLY GORGEOUS EYES. THIS UP AND COMING INDIE PRINCESS HAS BEEN MAKING THE ROUNDS IN THE FESTIVAL CIRCUIT (YOU MAY HAVE CAUGHT HER AT TRIBECA EARLIER THIS YEAR AT THE WORLD PREMIERE OF ‘RAZE’), AND SHE’S ALSO GEARING UP FOR A BUSY FALL. LUCKY FOR US, SHE HAD SOME TIME TO ANSWER A FEW OF OUR BURNING QUESTIONS...
You’ve also taken on the role of pro ducer...what are the perks? And not somuch perks? I love being hands on with a project that I am acting in. It’s such a different process when you are producing and acting in a film. I do have to remind myself that when we start shooting my main focus is acting. I am still producing but my main focus is my performance and my character. I have learned so much about the industry as a whole after producing my first movie. My good friend is a producing and I am always calling him asking how I should handle situations and if this is the right direction. It’s a very tough and there are moments when I don’t think I am cut out for it but there are great moments when your film gets bought or distributed or fans love it that makes it so much more worth it.
Your new movie, ‘Life Tracker,’ has a scary but intriguing concept. Have you ever thought about your own mortal ity? How would you want to go out? I actually use to have a big fear of dying. As I get older I have come to terms with it more now knowing that when it’s our time. It is our time. I always said that I wanted to go in my sleep. A peaceful way. But really as long as I am happy and fulfilled with my life that’s all that really matters to me. Life is so short and it’s so important to fill it with as many amazing moments as we can before we go.
How often do you get to visit your na tive Toronto? Not as much as I would like. I get there about once a year but my family comes to visit me in L.A. I have been shooting in Vancouver for the last few months and it’s so nice just to be back in Canada.
What’s your next step in conquering Hollywood? I feel like I am always taking steps to conquer Hollywood. Once I am done shooting the show, I am heading back to L.A for the “Raze” premiere. I Also I
have two movies in production for next year that I am super excited about. One of them I am producing as well. M&Ms: plain or peanut? Neither! I love the ones with almonds and the ones with peanut butter. Got a killer Halloween costume planned? Got a favorite you’ve worn in the past? Nothing yet. My agent just informed me that he is having a Halloween party so I better get on it. I always love dressing up as super heros or Strong female characters. My favorite costume I ever did was Poison Ivy. I went all out on that one. It took days for me to get the costume off. Everything was sewn on me and glued on. lol We tend to obsess over our favorite things (songs, books, food, gadgets, viral videos) here at Bello. Got any current obsessions you wish to share? I am obsessed with Spotify. I love it. I am always on it finding new artist and sharing playlist with friends. I also love TED. Whenever I can’t sleep I put them on or any type of documentary. HBO has great ones. Any other projects we should know about? Nothing that I am allowed to discuss yet but soon.
