WE LOVE SOAPS TV recently spoke with Samuels about her career, her new show and her guilty pleasures.
WE LOVE SOAPS TV: We actually have two cats here at our midtown Manhattan offices, so this first one comes from them. Your character is described as having cat-like superpowers, and they would like to know if you, in real life, had those powers, which ones would you choose?
Skyler Samuels: You can tell the cats at the office I’m jealous of the claws. I wish I had claws, just because how cool would that be? But among my cat-like powers, I also would probably like to have super speed, just so I can get more done in a day. It seems like a much more practical superpower to me.
WE LOVE SOAPS TV: Would you share with us your guilty pleasure TV show?
Skyler Samuels: Oh, my goodness. My guilty pleasure TV show would have to be GLEE. I’m weirdly addicted to the show, and I couldn’t explain it to you if I tried. I’ve never been a big musical buff, or anything, but I find myself week after week, no matter what, tuning into Glee. So that’s definitely my TV go-see pleasure.
Can you tell us what we can expect this season?
Skyler Samuels: Well, this first season of THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING is filled with adventures, thrills, romance, comedy and drama, and a lot of heartfelt relationships. There is nothing predictable about this first season. It’s filled with a lot of unexpected twists and turns, and it will leave you on the edge of your seat.
How did you become involved in the project?
Skyler Samuels: I had an audition for this show back in the fall of 2010, and I went in and I just fell in love. I loved the pilot before, and I was just, I was just in love with the script. Chloe and I have so much in common. I could hear my own voice in the things she said and did.
And a super-embarrassing story—when I walked in on the audition, I introduced myself as Chloe. I was totally embarrassed because I accidentally said Chloe instead of my own name, but sure enough, they agreed, because here I am playing Chloe King, and I’m having the time of my life.
