Sindy:: Cool! Tell me about your new movie.
Chelsea:Dance Flick is a spoof-comedy making fun of teen dance movies and musicals. The main character is a rich, suburban white girl who moves to the rougher part of town. My character, Tracy, helps get her into some misadventures. (laughs)
Sindy:: What’s Tracy like?
Chelsea:She’s socially clueless, so it was really fun to play her. She thinks everyone enjoys having her around, but she’s a bit of an airhead.
Sindy:: What was it like working with the Wayan Brothers?
Chelsea:They’re incredible, and so much fun—I learned a lot. They were all very ive and obviously hilarious.—comedic geniuses, for sure.
Sindy:: And Amy Sedaris?
Chelsea:She’s the sweetest person ever. And so so funny.
Sindy:: What was the audition process like?
Chelsea:They made me say my lines so many different ways, like once they were like—“Now act like DMX gangsta rap! (laughs)
Sindy:: You got to meet Cameron Diaz!
Chelsea:I did! I met her on the set of a show called Teen Nick. She was so sweet, it was like hanging out with a girlfriend—she’d be amazing to work with.
Sindy:: Who else is on your dream co-star list?
Chelsea:The Wayans were on it, that’s the funny thing! I would love to work with so many people — Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Sandler — all the movers and shakers of Hollywood.
Sindy:: Would you like to keep doing comedy?
Chelsea:I’m open to more comedy for sure. I’d also like to do some dramatic features—I’d like to do both throughout my career, drama and comedy are both so wonderful.
Sindy:: Any advice for other young people trying to act?
Chelsea:Get your name out there. I’m a big believer in letting people know you’re here—promote yourself! I also have a great team and a wonderful publicist, so make sure you work with fantastic people.
