![]() They’ve done this job many times – all of them have extensive resumes – and so they’re always great to give advice. With Michiel and Elizabeth and Olly, they are people who are just even keeled. He’s my go-to when we have downtime on set, to see what Henry is up to. So it’s just so much fun to spend time with him. He may be the funniest person I’ve ever met. So it was really easy to kind of slide her into that maternal place. She is one of the most talented and professional people I have ever met in my whole life. Carla Gugino is an angel walking on this Earth. Let’s start with the top and work our way down. I think it was important to all of us to create a real family.īT: What did you like best about working with each of them? KS: I hadn’t! I met my family members when we started shooting. If you just hold your body like that, it says a lot about a person.īT: I know you had acted with Carla Gugino, Elizabeth Reaser and Henry Thomas before, but had you ever worked with Victoria (Pedretti), Oliver Jackson-Cohen or Michiel Huisman before? Because the Crain group genuinely feels like a family. She’s so cold all the time and has been since she was a child, so that kind of tight feeling. KS: It was, yes! With Theo, it was also the body language. ![]() So I always start with the script and I assume that most of the answers are in the script.īT: A lot of actors say that they start to craft their characters with the shoes they wear as those characters, but I imagine that with Theo it was the gloves.

We were delighted to chat on the phone with Scream Queen Kate Siegel (seriously, check out her exceptional performance in Hush, which she also co-wrote with creative and life partner Mike Flanagan).

If you haven’t watched The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix yet, what are you waiting for?! Whether you like horror films, family dramas, or just well written, beautifully constructed character pieces, the show is definitely for you.
