Who is olivia thirlby

Red Knot is a film that I shot in Antarctica almost three years ago on a boat. It was a film that was improvised and it had very interesting circumstances while making the film, obviously.

We were on a small boat bobbing around in Antarctica. It was a really remarkable experience. I didn't have an incredibly active social life as a teenager. I always wished it was a little bit more exciting than it was. I am always plagued with 'I'm not skinny enough, I'm not in shape. I'm okay with that in my personal life. But it is kind of hard at times. I feel inadequate, I suppose? I'm such a homebody. I don't party. I don't drink. That may be because I got it out all out of my system before I was I trained in Shakespeare, and that's all comedy, even when it's tragedy.

I'd always wanted to be an action heroine. That's a chick dream, getting to wear a leather bodysuit and be blonde and kick ass. But, what really attracted me to Dredd was the script. It was fantastic! It was about people and characters, and not just about explosions and fighting.

The older I get and the longer I live in New York City, the more I have the desire to go elsewhere and be surrounded by nature. I did Nobody Walks right after Dredd Well, actually, I got off the plane from Capetown, where we shot "Dredd", and tested for Being Flynn that same day. Then I came out to L. I had this totally impossible dream of being an actress. Trust me, just because I'm lucky enough to be doing this doesn't make any of this less of a pipe dream.

And nothing gets my juices flowing like a really great performance. To see someone on stage, I get really excited. I can say I love working with women. Film is a man's world, and I really appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with women, especially young women. I think sci-fi has an important place in the cinema world. Fantasy is a big part of why films actually exist.

I go where the material is, and I feel like I'm looking for really strong directors. That's the key ingredient. There are some directors I would move the sun and earth for, or stop the rotation of the planets, just to work with them.

I love to cook. My dad's a really excellent cook and his style is: Look in the fridge and make whatever there is with whatever ingredients you have and I like cooking like that, too. I still audition a lot and work really hard to get work. However, she debuted in film with United 93 and in television with Kidnapped. Then, in came the breakthrough role of Leah in the film Juno. Likewise, between she starred in numerous films.

The following year sci-fi Dredd released and her role as Judge Anderson was distinguishable. She has even given her voice to an animated Good Vibes Jeena. She also acted in the theatre. The talented actress has earned a good sum of fortune. Thirlby has been married to Jacques Pienaar since December 28, I want to be doing this, but faster she remembers thinking to herself while walking up the mountain one day.

Plus, she wanted to stay fit. For months, she taught herself to run in the Santa Monica mountains, a Chaparral environment with loping hills. To keep herself occupied and motivated, she ran. While she ran, she worked through the kinks in her mind. The actress brought running with her. And then, one day in August , Thirlby received a call for auditions in her inbox for what would become her next project: the part of Hero in the new FX on Hulu series, Y: The Last Man, which was released on September 13, and tells the story of a post-apocalyptic world where every being with a Y chromosome has died.
