Is it another diner?
Or perhaps its an employee at the restaurant.
Prior to kicking off a steady stream of screen credits, Fahy was actually a stage actor.
At first, I was the understudy, and then I took over later on.
After that, I just started auditioning.
It happens all the time.
A widowed mother’s first date in years takes a terrifying turn when she’s bombarded with anonymous threatening messages on her phone during their upscale dinner, leaving her questioning if her charming date is behind the harassment.
You’re on set, and it’s long days and it’s a number of months.
One particular bang out of growth Fahy experienced withThe White Lotus?
Finding out what its like to make aheavilycovered hit TV show.
I will say,the press cycle for that show was so unbelievable.
And then I was like, Oh, wait, every time I do a project … Now onto the next thing.
I wasnt really expecting that for some reason, which is so silly.
Its, like, duh!
[Laughs]
The surprises didnt stop there in terms of what comes after making a TV show.
Fahy experienced a one-two punch withThe White Lotuspress cycle.
That whole thing is nuts.And that’s another thing where I’m like, Everyyear?
Some people do that every year!
Its like, Here we go!
And it’s this brunch, and it’s this lunch, and its this thing.
I think it’s funny that we have numbers.
I prefer to be a little lower down because I feel like it’s not as much pressure.
Brandon [Sklenar] was there with me every day across the table.
He was such an incredible support system and such an amazing actor, and Chris.
It really just felt like we were all a team together making this, shooting this play, basically.
‘Happy Death Day’ filmmaker Christopher Landon directs this Hitchcock-inspired thriller.
Violet isnt just a solid vehicle to take the audience through the thrills.
Shes a character with layers, a palpable drive, and a compelling evolution as she finds her strength.
Not only didDropmark Fahys first time starring in a feature film, but its also her very first thriller.
Hopes are high this will be the first of many.
Dropis now playing in theaters nationwide.
