I remember when I was younger, one of my favorite comic books to read was the Archie Comic Books and it happened to be my mom's favorite as a child as well. From generation to generation, everyone always loved the Archie series. When I found out that Netflix was going to release a new TV show based on the books - I knew it was going to be a hit. Released in 2017 on CW, the show Riverdale just boomed right from the beginning and has grown to a huge following all over the world. I thought it would be so great to hear from one of the actresses of the show.
At only 25 years old, Tiera Skovbye already has over ten years of acting experience under her belt. Spotted by an agent while at a Vancouver children’s festival when she was 7, Tiera seemingly kind of stumbled into the field. But once opportunity knocked there was no looking back. She is most known for her role in the hit teen drama series Riverdale as Polly Copper. She has also appeared in the show Dirty John as Young Betty, Global TV's Nurses, the fantastic movie Summer of 84’ and will be appearing in the upcoming movie '2 Hearts' alongside Jacob Elordi. That’s just to name a few of her successes. I thought it would be great to hear the perspective of being a young female actress and her experience with Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole.
In this episode, Tiera talks about how she landed her role in Riverdale, what she finds most challenging as a female actress in Hollywood, the realities of having a large social media following, how she prepares for her roles, and advice she has for young actors trying to get their foot in the door.
