the set of another Lifetime film I shot (in Oklahoma!).

I felt so lucky to have the opportunity, and was so thrilled to get to play such a larger-thanlife character.

V: I love your joyful spirit and the way you switch on screen when you play your characters, you are able to really step away from the real you to become another person. What do you remember about your introduction to the cinematic world and what made you say that acting was the dream you wanted to pursue?

V: Did you come across any challenging scene?

If so, how did you overcome it?

REVELL: Thank you so much! I’d say the films that first got my attention were action & spy films! I love the depictions of secret agents as international super heroes, and it absolutely made me want to become an actress. I’ve always had a love for different languages and cultures because of that, and a love for being physically active!

REVELL: I actually had really hurt my knee on a long run prior to filming. So all the scenes where I was walking around in heels were a challenge! Ha! Other than that, it was just such a blast to be Mia - and I had such a fun time bringing her personality to life.

V: Coming up, you’ll be seen as Sadie in A Job to Die For. What was that transition like from one character to the next?

V: I was wondering if you have any mentors or if you follow any advice that helps you on your journey as an actress.

REVELL: This was such a great project! Sadie was a challenging character for me to dive into and create, but I think I learned a lot doing it. Mia (Debutante) is so confident, whereas although passionate and talented, is not really sure of herself. It was a really interesting creative journey for me, I loved being Sadie at her lowest point and growing with her throughout the film :)

REVELL: I think my favorite piece of acting advice was actually from a Vogue 73 questions interview with Zac Efron years ago. He said “practice patience.” There are a lot of peaks and valleys in this industry, and it isn’t always a meritocracy.

It’s important to just keep your head down, work hard, and the rest will come!

V: I imagine you must be having an exciting time right now as Deadly Debutante has recently come out. What was your reaction to the script of this psycho-thriller and what made you want to get involved?

V: How did you find your way into the role?

V: This is a very busy year for you as you’re also starring in Follower and Tapawingo coming soon. But besides your successful career on the rise, you devote your free time toward working with the New York Public Library, serving on the junior board, improving literacy throughout NYC and you are also one of the founding members of the Hagley Youth Foundation serving intracity Wilmington, DE. How do these acts impact your life?

REVELL: I actually auditioned for Deadly Debutante while on

REVELL: I definitely learn a lot staying in-

REVELL: Oh that was so much fun! Who doesn’t love to dress up in a ball gown and fight off bad guys :) Reminds me of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider!

My dream role would be the female Lex Luthor!

V: What types of roles are you looking to play in the future?

volved in community organizations. The entertainment industry is so transient - short term projects in different cities across the country. I love coming back to these groups in my hometown (NYC), and Delaware (where my mother's family lives), with such meaningful pursuits.

REVELL: I love action films! And I think it's such a fun and challenging acting experience to play the villain. My dream role would be the female Lex Luthor!

V: Last question, I know you are fluent in Mandarin, Russian, and Spanish and as my nationality is actually Argentinian, I’m curious to ask you if you have ever seen or experienced any type of art/culture from Argentina?

V: As you also write, produce and direct your own material. Which stories do you feel are unexplored and need to be told?

REVELL: Oh that's awesome! I actually spent a summer while I was in high school studying Spanish and working at an orphanage in Uruguay! And my Spanish teacher in high school actually was Argentinian. I love that the Spanish is slightly different in Argentina / Uruguay. Made me feel like I knew a secret version of the language :) Also dulce is the BEST!

REVELL: Stories about girls being able to do anything they set their mind too! These aren't necessarily unexplored, but I think there can't be enough of them! I just watched King Richard about the Williams sisters, and just loved it. Molly's Game is another one. I would love to make a movie like that one day.

Deadly Debutante is available on Amazon Prime Video and Hulu
