Interviewing actress Valery Ortega



1-. How was your childhood?
My childhood honestly wasn't that great nothing to do with my parents or environment but more individually at school. I was bullied alot and i felt like i needed to hide who i was for the longest time. Im a very sensitive and emotional person and back then it wasn't well view.

2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV?

I decided and realized i wanted to be an actress since i was 12 years old but before that i have been around theater and acting since 6 years old. And i dont really knew or believe i had the skills but instead i knew how much i wanted to tell stories and inspired people with my acting and the moment i was put on stage for the first time i realized how much i felt confident in what i do and realized this is what i was meant to do and how much i wanted to continue to work hard for it.
3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress?

Yes, im so grateful i have parents who supported me since day one my mom always tell me we can do anything we want as long as we want it. But growing and still living in a country who acting career and cinema is not big at all they and i knew an still know is and will not be a “pice of cake” and i have to work a bit harder than anybody else for it.
4. - What was your first appearance on the screens?

Actually a few weeks ago was my official entry in this industry. I was able to be part of a international movie that was filming in my country i was a small extra but i got the opportunity to film with the main cast and that for me even if i was just an extra is the best thing and im so incredibly grateful for it.
5. - What was the role you liked the most?

So far the Red queen. I did Alice in wonderland play some years ago and i landed the red queen role and it was the most fun and incredible experience. Not just because she is unbelievably funny but because she has such a complex personality and story i was so grateful to experience with her.
6.- What do you think led you to fame?

Im not famous at all yet hahaha but that word Fame is a bit subjective for me, Of course i want to reach “Fame” and be “Famous” but i just want my work and my voice and my talent to be recognize and seen i want to have a voice and for my words to matter not just to me.
7-. What types of characters you would like to interpret?

i LOVE villains, i would love to play more complex villains and not just them. I want to be able to interpret characters that are too complex to either love or hate. I want to challenge myself and be able to nail those types of psyche in a character. And also love interests
8-. What actresses and actors do you feel comfortable working with?

I think it would be actors who share personalities with me and or are not afraid of being themself whatever meaning of the word that would be for them.
9-. In what other genres of art would you like to participate? (Works of theater, music,
among others)

I would love to direct and write in the future. I love writing and creating worlds.

10.- Do you have any anecdotes that have marked you in your life and as a person?

I don't think I have any anecdotes that have been strong enough to mark me yet. But i'm looking forward to them
11.- What has been your greatest achievement?

I think every step i do in this industry as big or small will be my greatest achievement. I kinda live my life as a video game in the sense of every little achievement i make give me the ability to unlock more. But who knows ask me that question again when i get to work with Anya taylor joy or winning an Oscar hahahha
12.- What projects will you make next and which ones do you have in mind?

1-How was your childhood? I can’t think of my childhood as being anything other than perfect, if I’m being completely honest. I’m not sure if it’s just the power of nostalgia or if the good things really outshine the bad, but I have a very happy, wholesome memory of it all. I was always very extroverted and kind of a social butterfly, so it was pretty easy to make friends, and in a way I’m glad that this was before the internet and social media took over, which I feel made things more precious and lighthearted. Also, I could’t have asked for a better, more involved and caring family and I was very lucky they brought me the opportunity to experience living abroad from a such an early age – my parents moved to Portugal when I was about to turn eight, and despite us being immigrants with humble lives, it was like an adventure to me. It really opened up my mind to a whole new world, I got to experience a different culture, meet incredible people who I’d remain very good friends

1-. How was your childhood? I grew up in a small town in Michigan. I was instilled with a lot of great midwestern values early on that I carry with me today! I have a big family, so I had the privilege of playing with many cousins and we had fun family get togethers that included playing baseball games in our big backyard! As a kid I loved going to the movies and loved putting on skits for family (writing them and acting in them). I loved the “Carol Burnett Show” which inspired me greatly as a performer back then and it still does now. 2- From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? I was fairly young when I felt the passion for acting! I don’t remember the exact age, but I believe I was around 12yrs. old. I was playing with some of my cousins (at one of our family parties) and we were having a ‘séance’ and I pretended to be possessed by an evil spirit. I pretended to pass out and when one of my cousins turned on the li

1-. How was your childhood? I grew up in a big city in Brazil, São Paulo, I was always surrounded by friends, family and many cousins. Sundays we’d go to my grandparents house and have delicious homemade food.   2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV? I was 5 year old only when I’d dress up bed sheets and act in the backyard of my house. It’s funny because I always would speak a different language, almost as if I knew that one day I’d be an actor in Los Angeles. Acting has been always my passion. I graduated in acting school with 22 years old.   3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress? No!!! They’d say acting was a hobby, it’s so sad that so many parents had that mentality in the old days… so I graduated also in Marketing and worked in Ad Agencies to make a living.    4. - What was your first appearance on the screens? I acted mostly in plays (theater) at first and after movin
