Interview Of A Client Interview

As reported in the client Interview, Helen Stonewall is a married, 32-year-old African American female and mother to her 5 year old daughter, Sonya. Helen night started at a bar where she progressed from a feel drinks with a couple of gentlemen that appeared to be friends where she then continued to become louder and more rowdy until she had to be forced out of the bar. Later, Helen was found dancing half naked in the middle of a busy intersection at 2 A.M by the police. Police stated that she appeared to be on drugs and was half naked when she was found and had to be placed in handcuffs when she refused to get out of the road. Helen explained to the police that she was not on drugs but was, “Just high on life”. Lab test later reported no evidence of excessive alcohol or other drug use. Helen reported to have been “racing” before she went to the bar. Helen describes herself to be up and down, going from periods of high energy and little sleep to then crash and feel periods of sadness with lack of energy or enthusiasm.

If you are a fan of Hallmark’s “When Calls the Heart,” or if you have seen a couple recent Hallmark films in which a “snobby, rich guy” never seems to win the heart of his presumed intended, you may be quite familiar with the masterful, young actor, Marcus Rosner. Though he seems to be typecast as the “bad guy,” or the “guy who never gets the girl,” there is no denying that this dashing and delightfully gifted actor is rising quickly in the hearts and minds of loyal Hallmark aficionados. Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Marcus about “most things Hallmark” as well as his upcoming film, “Appetite For Love.”

I think this was your first time to work with Andie MacDowell. What was it like working with her? Any behind-the-scenes stories?

She then goes on to describe another kind of female movie character, known as the Ethereal Weirdo. This is who Kaling describes as the “Manic Pixie Dream Girl.” She uses description techniques to create the ideal version of a character that puts an image in the mind of the reader. “She wears gauzy blouses and braids. She likes to dance in the rain and she weeps uncontrollably if she sees a sign for a missing dog or cat. She might spin a globe, place her finger on a random spot, and decide to move there.”

I would be the only fourth grader to attain a lead role featuring my own solo. It was an incredible feat because I never thought I could achieve the role against such tremendous competition. I was dedicated to performing perfectly spending hours rehearsing both in and out of school. From then on, I knew I could achieve anything as long as I had dedication and perseverance by my side. The following year, I went on to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast and when that spotlight was gleaming, I was at home. My directors, Ms. Qualshie and Mrs. Badillo, had been remarkable examples guiding me to be a cooperative team player. Every role had a purpose allowing us to work as a well-oiled

I did a little audition, but I also got on the show 'cause I worked with an AD on the show when I was on Defiance. And they recommended me to the 12 Monkeys people. So I did an audition, and they liked me. They let me in, and it was really fun.

When I read the audition scene, I was immediately drawn to how amazing the script was! Also, in my audition scene, I had to play piano, which I have been doing since I was four, so I believe that was an advantage for me.

One of the biggest lessons I learned throughout the shoot was the value of maintaining a positive attitude, even when in stressful situations. While I myself tried my best not to ever come across as negative, there were a few instances where other members of the production team came across as tense or even slightly antagonistic toward me. When these events happened, it caused me to feel insecure about the work I was doing. Instead of motivating me to work harder, it only made me feel unhelpful. In my opinion, treating people respectfully and maintaining a positive attitude is a better form of motivation than antagonism, especially when you are in a position such as 1st AD. I’ve found people are more willing to cooperate when you lead with kindness rather than in a dictatorial manner. Furthermore, another thing I plan on continuing to do is ensuring that there is good communication between the Assistant Directors. One of the aspects that I thought worked very well on this shoot was that Savannah (the other AD) and I tried to work as a team as much as possible. As a result, we made sure to communicate as much as possible so we each knew when we were needed, how we were needed, and when the crew was filming among other things. This helped me feel like I was part of team and, in my opinion, helped make the shoot run more

Now, I am not a great actor and I can’t sing beautifully to save my life, but I did anyway. I love it so much it doesn’t matter whether I can do it or not. I met many people during that production and we all shared the same passion of theatre and music.

I opted to interview Ms. Brede, who was a paralegal at my internship site. In terms of her typical day, she described it as “constant change.” This was due to the fact that on a daily basis, she worked with a variety of indigent clients and attorneys. They basically dictated her typical day, given the different personalities and attitudes. Amongst the clients, there were many individuals that were hard to work with. That was basically the con of being a paralegal in Ms. Brede’s opinion. On one hand, she loved being able to help out homeless people (a pro of the career). On the other hand, some clients were uncooperative and did not seem to want to help themselves (i.e. completing drug treatments or securing employment). Even the simple task of showing up for a court date was apparently too inconvenient for some individuals. Nevertheless, Ms. Brede found her occupation to be highly rewarding.

Filming with Tricia Helfer and Marc Blucas was so easy. I was a fan of them both for quite some time, so it was just icing on the cake that that they were both so funny!

The questionnaires reported the communication and interaction between the two. If there is no interaction, then questions come to mind “Does this affect an individual to remain stable? Do Vocational Rehab Counselor impact clients ability to remain stable?” There was a client satisfaction questionnaire administered to each client during week one that consisted of 11 questions focusing on the client’s thoughts about the agency. Some questions asked included but not limited to: Did you choose your Vocational Counselor? Does the staff listen to you and treat you with respect? Are you satisfied with the service that you have received? Also, during week one counselors were administered a 10-question questionnaire about the current job as a counselor. Week three clients received an 11-question job evaluation survey asking questions related to their current job such as: Which of the following best describes the department you work in?

Yes, I had a recurring role on Edgemont. I played the brother of one of the main characters. That was a Canadian show, and that went on for years. I have some good friends I hang out with to this day from that show. Kristin Kreuk and Dominic Zamprogna are two I'm still close with. I just had lunch with Dom in LA not too long ago. The show was kind of like a soap opera, but with a younger, high school cast. That was a lot of fun because there were a lot of local Vancouver actors. It was a huge cast. A lot of actors have gone from that show to go on and do other stuff. Another friend I met there--one of my best friends--John Reardon. He lives close to me in LA now. Grace Park was on that show; you might know her from Hawaii Five-O now. It was a great place to meet young actors in the business, and it was kind of a training ground for them.

The on-set atmosphere was relaxed, with the exception of a couple very sad yet significant scenes ... these scenes had Lini, Andrea Bowen and I crying for a long time. The character I play, Chloe, experiences dire health issues. She has a life-threatening asthma condition which can lead to respiratory failure. This role required some research for me to gain a better understanding of asthma attacks and how dangerous they can

Conducting interviews is fundamental as a case manager. In order to understand more about good interviewing, I decided to watch an interview about an addict mother conducted by Dr. Phil. While watching this interview, I made some notes on attitudes and characteristics that I considered important for good interviewing. The characteristics will be presented in the following paragraphs.
