Q & A: Linnea Sage

If there’s one thing – and there is more than one thing, by the way – that’s refreshing about the new web series Wildcats it’s that it’s got something to say. Sure, it’s funny, and the cast – led by New York actor Linnea Sage – are particularly funny, but it encompasses an important and empowering message that most television series, let alone web series would be bothered or brave enough to include.

Actress. Model. Voice-Over Artist. Is there anything we’re missing? You’re definitely mutli-talented, Linnea!

Ha! I don’t think you’re missing anything.

Were you surprised by the success of Wildcats?

Nothing is a guaranteed success. We were just passionate about the project and were going to make it and love it and work hard on it no matter what. It is extremely amazing and fortunate that it got such a great response. 

When did you know it was a hit?

When I attended the premiere for it. I got to watch a bunch of people react to it and go totally crazy for it so I had a feeling that the internet might like it, too. 

Do you believe it’s the show’s combination of laughs and life lessons that can be attributed to its popularity? 

Is there a formula? I’m not sure. I think everyone who worked on the production was extremely talented and very dedicated. The writing is wonderful, and I think the fact that it is based on a very true story and circumstances makes it even more appealing. 

Are you confident there’ll be more episodes?

Absolutely!

Now that you’re chasing film and television roles,  can you genuinely say that one type of work – either the voice-over work or acting roles – is easier to get than the other?

It’s different for everyone, of course. I believe that luck is when preparation meets opportunity. There’s a lot of luck involved, and all you can do is to be prepared.

Do you feel your voice-over work has helped you get in a room though? Has it opened doors for acting?

My reputation in the voice over world certainly shows people that I am reliable and good at my job. 

You do a lot of voice overs for commercials. Would you like to do one in a big, animated movie some day?

Disney princess, fluffy pegasus/unicorn baby, evil Lego-stegosaurus ... Just spitballing here! I’m game for anything!

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
