Interviewing actress Contessa Grant



1-. How was your childhood?
My childhood was great! I had both of my parents, and they provided everything for my sister and me. I wish I didn’t take it for granted at the time.
2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV?
When I was 7 years old, I knew it would be a dream career. It wasn’t until I was 18 years old that I started pursuing it. I know now that I have the skills, thanks to years of classes. When I first started acting it was trash city, I wanted to throw tomatoes at myself I was that bad.
3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress?
Yes, they did. My mother was my prime supporter. My father has finally come around to being supportive as well.
4. - What was your first appearance on the screens?
It was a YouTube/Instagram series that is now on Tubi called “Dilemma Daze”
5. - What was the role you liked the most?
My favorite role as of now was Tanya in “Heir Mail”. I had an amazing Co Star Courtney- Giselle. We had so much fun on set! Shay Thurmon the director and the whole crew, were an absolute delight to work with.
6.- What do you think led you to fame?
I’m not famous yet, but if it does happen, it’s in Gods Plan. I just want to be a working, consistent, successful, well-paid actress who excels at her craft.
7-. What types of characters you would like to interpret?
Comedic characters are my go-to. I would like to play a character that has supernatural abilities, like a superhero. I am open to any characters that I can connect with.
8-. What actresses and actors do you feel comfortable working with?
I love working with other actresses and actors, that know how to be in the moment. It’s so fulfilling collaborating and making beautiful stories together.

I would like to do some theater to get the experience. I absolutely love music, unfortunately I can’t sing even a little bit. I love dancing too, and I’m decent at that. I would also like to participate in painting, because it’s very therapeutic.
10.- Do you have any anecdotes that have marked you in your life and as a person?
Yes, to always find joy and laughter because it’s one of the best medicines.

I feel my greatest achievement so far has been joining improv classes. They have opened my brain up to unlimited possibilities. I’m excited to keep exploring.
12.- What projects will you make next and which ones do you have in mind?
More comedies and I would love to be apart of stories I truly connect with, and they resonate with me. Dream bookings are to be on set with Angela Bassett, Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, Idris Alba, Issa Rae, Donald Glover, Emily Blunt, Jennifer Lawerence, Amy Schumer, there’s way too many people I would love to work with.

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
