As part of our efforts to give you a glimpse into our story and characters before they finally make it into the final film, we’re conducting interviews with our cast and crew to get their insight into roles in this film and their careers in general.  This week, meet the crown jewel of the club Cherry works at… Sapphire.  And she is played by the tremendously talented Denise Williamson.  Here’s what we asked and what she had to say:

10 Questions:
1. How would you describe your character Sapphire?

Sapphire is to Cherry like Goose is to Maverick. Sapphire is Cherry’s wing man. She has Cherry’s back and would do anything for her. She taught Cherry all her moves and wants her red lipstick back.

2. Are there any famous movie or TV characters you are drawing on for inspiration?

Lol, didn’t I just answer this? I draw from my own experiences. Julin (Cherry) happens to be one of my best friends, so I drew my inspiration from that real life friendship. Instead of two crazy actresses, you have two crazy strippers

3. You have one scene where a character gets pretty rough with your character. Do you approach physical scenes like that differently than you approach the non-physical scenes?

I don’t approach them differently per se, there is just a litte more prep work for the physical scenes.

4. What’s your dream acting role?

I want to star in a movie musical

5. What the most annoying thing a director can do when directing an actor?

Haha, is this a trap? I plead the 5th.

6. How did you get into acting?

I couldn’t really tell you. I’ve always been a performer. I started off as a dancer, then I got into musical theatre, and now I’m doing film and I love it.

7. What are some of your favorite movies?

Chicago, The Lost Boys, Marie Antoinette, Waiting for Guffman,Drop Dead Gorgeous,Goonies, Fried Green Tomatoes, Dangerous Liaisons, The Man in the Moon… this list can go on forever.

8. What’s been the most rewarding thing you’ve done or that’s happened to you as a result of being an actress?

With filming, auditioning, and my music I never know who I’m going to meet where I’m going to be or what’s next. It keeps life exciting. I’ve had the opportunity to meet some amazingly talented people and met some of my closest friends. I get to do what I love, that’s pretty rewarding.

9. You’ve recently worked with Ron Jeremy and Nick Manning. How do they compare to each other?

Although Ron Jeremy and I were in a film, I never met him. All his scenes were shot separately so I can’t compare the two. I also didn’t get to spend too much time with Nick, but he did keep us entertained with his porn stories.

10. What are some of your favorite projects you’ve done in the past or some upcoming projects you are excited about? (Provide links so we can help pimp out your previous work )

Killer School Girls was a lot fun.  It was my third film, and my first time as a lead.  I learned a lot and had so much fun with the cast.  Mardi Gras was a blast.  I mean they set Julin and I loose in the city of New Orleans for a week….you totally wish you were there.  My next project will be a film called Hyphen. I’m also working on my music and trying to get a show together.
