Well, last year we were all stuck in the house, and as actors we are used to going in for auditions, scene casting, meeting people, and having a reader in the room with us. But last year, and even still to this day, we’re doing Zoom auditions, and self-tapes. So, I received a breakdown of Jordan Allen, and I read it and I was like, "Oh my gosh, I h...
I’m a plus-sized woman, and sometimes when I get these breakdowns the character is normally described as full-figured, a big girl or plus size, and she has insecurities, she hates her body, and she’s hiding. Jordan is full-figured, stylish, confident, she’s a devout Christian, an entrepreneur, she’s a hustler and she loves money. I was just like, "...
Deep down, I kind of knew that I would be coming back. So, when I knew for myself, I was very excited, I was very happy about what this could do for my career, what this could do for my life, and how my life was already changing just from Season 4. When an actor books his or her role as a first series regular your mind is like, "Oh, my gosh, it hap...
Freddie is so easy to work with, and he’s also like a walking Masterclass. He does amazing work. He is a joy to watch, study and work with all at the same time. There are times when we film scenes you do a fake exit. So, on the show, it’ll look like Jordan has exited the room, but I’m right there while the scene is still playing out. During a recen...
I think with Shaun’s character, I don’t think I ever questioned how Jordan would show up in his world. I just allowed myself to just be on set, and once I had the first scene with him it informed how Jordan sees Shaun. And how Jordan wants to deal with Shaun and how Jordan works around Shaun and orbits around him. It’s something that I’m still deve...
I just love how the writers and producers take care of Shaun Murphy as a character. They really dive into the nuance and the complexities of autism. I love that they do that. The recent episode, with the hand dryer and that moment that Dr. Shaun had? Yeah, I thought it was beautiful to show. It gives a voice to a lot of voiceless people and a lot o...
I love a lot of the Black women who tweet me or contact me on other social media to say how much it means to them to see someone that looks like them on the show now and how it warms their hearts. Or Black women that are in med school, they’re watching, they’re like, “You remind me of me.” And so, it’s exciting, and it’s always fun to talk about th...
One time I was heading to see a play when I was in high school with my best friendand her mother. And I remember it was a program for high school-aged students. It was an after-school theater program where you get bused to the school, you rehearse a play, and then you put on a three-day. And I asked my best friend’s mother to put in a word for me w...
Yes, she took me backstage before the show where I met the director, and she put in the word for me. And the director looked at me and said, ‘Well, would you like to go on tonight? Because one of my actors just called in sick and I just need someone to say the lines.’ And I said ‘Yes,’ and within 40 minutes before the show I learned the finale danc...
Yes, so I’m excited this year. Because this year we were all stuck in Vancouver, Canada for Thanksgiving, so it was me and the four newbies.

And we had Thanksgiving food there We brought desserts and wine, and then we just chilled and watched YouTube videos and just imag...
