Actors With Issues with Juan Ayala

Rising star Dylan Ratzlaff joins us on the podcast this week to talk about her role in the upcoming Lifetime Original Movie “An Amish Sin”. As Dylan’s first leading role, she talks about her she learned to find the courage to ask lots of questions when she was on set without fear of coming off as unprepared, but rather wanting to delve deeper into her character who was in nearly every scene in the film.

Dylan also talks about her aspirations to combine acting with a physically challenging role as she is a trained dancer and acrobat, and the advice she leaves for her fellow young actors: don’t put weight on your auditions.

An Amish Sin premieres Saturday, October 29th at 8pm ET on Lifetime
