It's a moment that I will be asked about for the rest of my life as an actor, and I carry that moment with pride, that Rita [in Dexter] had such an impact and that it was such a gut-wrenching moment for audience members.

I'm fortunate that I've been an athlete, my whole life, and I work out like a crazy person.

[Two Evil Eyes] was shot in Pittsburgh, and that's where I was born and raised, so it was really nice to be a part of Pittsburgh film culture.

I've had a career where I've bounced around a lot between different genres, and I feel very lucky and very blessed that that's happened to me.
Julie Benz
Image
I love the fans of genre. Genre fans are the best fans. They're loyal, they're dedicated, and they're passionate about the projects. They get it on a cerebral level. Being a part of that culture and that world... It's very gratifying and very fulfilling.

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.

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.

Having just read the script [Havenhurst] and then add having seen a ghost, I went to Andrew [Erin], and I was, like, Okay, I have to do this movie. I just have to! I don't know why, but I just have to do it. And I ended up getting the role.

I remember Gale Gordon was in the pilot [of Hi Honey, I'm Home], and it was one of my very first professional gigs without having an adult take me to the job.

I just don't think [Payne] was the right time to do it, maybe. It was timing, not so much that it was executed wrong.

But I never worked with a northern horse before. They are very different from western horses.

You don't realize how much a part of your character is part of yourself until you are no longer playing that character.
Julie Benz

We shot [Hi Honey, I'm Home] on location in Orlando, Florida, so I was there by myself. And I remember I was late one day, and Gale Gordon pulled me aside, and he said, Honey, when it says you have to be here at 10 a.m., you need to be here at 9:30. And ever since, I've always been a half-hour early to my call time!

[Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt] pushed me out of my comfort zone [in Buffy The Vampire Slayer ].

I love doing sitcoms and I love performing in front of a live audience, so [Payne] was a really fun experience.
Julie Benz

I have so many people come up to me, 20-some years later, and saying, I loved you in Jawbreaker!.

[Filming Payne] that was also the first time I worked with JoBeth Williams, which was also a case of not being the last time!

[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 ].

I would love to re-visit Darla. I miss her. I really do.

Cause at the end of the day, honestly, at the end of the day when you're in your death bed and that's it, I think it's the relationships you've had and the people that you've touched and the people that have touched you that matter.

The fans are just as passionate about the projects as we are about making them.
