SB-Fanpage: First of all, thanks for a second interview :)
How was filming „The Hangover Part II“ in Thailand for you?

 

Sasha: It felt like a paid vacation. Even better then the location is the cast and crew. It's such a great group of people. 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: How did you feel to play a pregnant Tracy‘? How was the costume to be pregnant?

 

Sasha:  It was great. It felt very sexy :-) it was hard not putting pregnant photos up on Facebook .... As far as comfort, Louise Mingenbach, our costume designer is a genius. Everything looked great, very real and comfortable. 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: What’s your favorite scene in Hangover Part II?

 

Sasha: When Zach and the monkey say goodby to each other on the hospital steps. It's made me cry from laughing at least 3 times. 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: Did you also have contact to the monkey‚ 'Crystal'?

 

Sasha: No, there was a time when I could have, in Los Angeles. I was at a fitting where they were shooting with the monkey. But I didn't want to disturbed Crystals concentration. We just missed each other at the premier.... But the photos of her smiling in her sparkly dress made me grin for weeks. She loves the camera and is such a people person..ummmm...monkey. 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: What was your most exciting moment in Thailand (during your stay in this country)?

 

Sasha: We had a peeping Tom looking threw our hotel windows one night. My fiancee, Dan, chased after him (naked) but the guy jumped a wall and got away.  

 

 

SB-Fanpage: Which country do you think would also be a good place to shoot a Hangover movie?

 

Sasha: Russia! 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: How is your fashion line doing? When will you finish it?

 

Oh god so slow! I made my Hangover 2 premiere dress. And I registered the name, 1017. I'm going to a fabric show in new York next week. I should be in a few stores by September. 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: Is your fashion line also including bags? Or only clothes at the moment?

 

Sasha: Only clothes. 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: Let us talk about your past-shootings. A lot of people saw you the first time - long before there was Hangover - at Supernatural. You played the demon Casey . How was it for you to play a sympathetic demon?

 

Sasha: Easy. I believe a lot of things make sense when looked at from another persons point of view. I'm similar to that character, Casey, in respect to that.  I can intellectualize something someone else does until it seems fair to my own moral compass. I am however much harder on myself and my own actions. I'm always questioning my own intentions when I shouldn't be. It's a mind fuck. Lol. 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: There were a lot of dialogues between „Dean“ and „Casey“. A lot of fans are interested, how was the work with Jensen Ackles?  

 

Sasha: He's great. They work their asses off on that show. 17 hour days. He has the most incredible memory. He can scan over 5 pages of dialogue and know all his lines right away. The story and the character just make sense to him. The writers are pretty awesome too. 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: Casey died in Supernatural, but if there was a chance to play again a demon at Supernatural, would you like to shoot this?

 

Sasha: For sure. But I want to win next time. I like to win ;-)

 

  

SB-Fanpage: Trauma: I think, one of your best performances was the role ‚Christine‘ in Trauma. You had do play a bank robber, a woman who got overextended because the situation got out of control. How did you brace yourself for such an emotional role?

 

Sasha: The director was fantastic. She gave free reign to all of us.  

 

 

SB-Fanpage: Which one was your most emotional scene you ever played during your career as an actress?

 

Sasha: It was in class. A play called Danny and the deep blue sea. 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: How was it to play your character in „Leverage – The Gold Job“?

 

Sasha: Tons of fun. Todd, who plays my brother, is sooooooo funny. I like playing a bitch. It brings out my spoilt side :-)

 

 

SB-Fanpage: What are your plans for 2012? Do you focus on your fashion line only or do you also want to shoot a new movie or a guest appearance in a show?

 

Sasha:  I want to work on everything. And I want it all to be perfect. As soon as someone pulls me away from the poker table......hahaha. Sorry I'm vacationing in Paris right now and to me, vacation=poker. 

 

 

SB-Fanpage: When I‘m watching House M.D. I can imagine to see you as a very sick patient. What’s your mind about playing in a hospital show as a patient?

Sasha: Mentally or Physically? Jk. Anything that's new and real and has an arc to the character catches my interest. I'm so lucky to have a job where I can explore so many ways of being. House is a great show. The acting is phenomenal. My absolute favorite show is currently the walking dead.
