I remember they did all the makeup tests on me for Darla... Sorry, for the vampire. I was the test monkey for the vampire look, so I went through numerous variations of the prosthetics and camera tests before I actually got the job.

More quotes by Julie Benz
I still have people coming up to me, and it was, what, six or seven years ago when that finale aired? And they tell me who they were watching with, what their emotional reaction was, and how they were devastated for weeks about [Rita's death in Dexter].

Working with Dario [Argento] was a lot of fun. He's a larger-than-life character, and with an Italian accent.

Oh, well, in Los Angeles everybody is an actor, or a producer, or a writer, or a director, or an agent, or... So everybody understands the hours.

It was a really wonderful experience [at Hi Honey, I'm Home show]. I loved Nick At Nite at the time, and I was obsessed with watching it, so just to meet some of the more experienced stars of the older shows was a real treat and a thrill for me.
Julie Benz
[Dario Argento] would yell at you in Italian, and I'd have no idea what he was saying. I'd just go, Okay!. But it was a really great experience [filming Two Evil Eyes ].
Julie Benz
I loved everything about that movie [Jawbreaker]. The fashion, the friendship amongst all of us girls... it was great. We had a blast filming it, and it was really wonderful. It was a very special time.
Julie Benz
[John Larroquette] is very generous as the star of a show. He always made sure that if we had a joke that didn't work or something, he'd fight for the other actors.
Julie Benz
If you're offered something, you're not really sure exactly what is that they saw in you that they think is the character so it's a little scary, I feel.
Julie Benz
During the rehearsal process I got thrown off the horse.
Julie Benz
I actually started, this year, doing some voiceovers. I did some radio spots, and some games.

Darla [from Buffy The Vampire Slayer] was where I grew up. For me, Darla was like going to graduate school for acting. I learned so much with Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt. They encouraged us to make creative choices with our characters.
Julie Benz
I originally read for the roles of Debra and Rita [in Dexter], because they didn't know what direction they were going in, and I worked so hard on Deb, because I just wanted to swear. I wanted to say all those nasty words. That was it: I want to swear on television!.
Julie Benz
I love doing action films that do challenge me physically. I feel it's my job to keep my stamina up and be as physically fit as possible, so that I can just jump in and do it. It takes its toll sometimes and it's hard work, but I love that.
Julie Benz
I was sent the script [of Havenhurst ], and I was out of town at the time, so I did a site meeting with Andrew [Erin]. It was so bizarre. I was staying in a hotel at the time, and the night before the meeting with Andrew, I learned there was a ghost in the hotel.
Julie Benz
I've been an actor for 30 years, so I pretty much know how to do the basics of a fight without hurting anybody.
Julie Benz
That's a hard question, because I started skating when I was three, so I don't really remember life before it, and I don't know what it is like not to work hard at something.
Julie Benz
But I never worked with a northern horse before. They are very different from western horses.
