Breaking

“People just see the ups, but they don’t see all the rejection and the struggling to get the next job,” says Hanratty.

I don’t know if it was them being able to tell that I could have a split personality or something, but that was the one that sealed the deal for Misty.

Basically, Misty had gotten in trouble with a teacher for cheating, and to get out of it, Misty breaks down in front of the teacher sobbing and says, “You have no idea how hard it’s been at home because my dad’s been drinking a lot…” and the teacher goes, “I had no idea.

It’s fine.” Then I’m like, “Thank you so much.

I’ve talked to them about what it actually might have been like and I don’t think Misty has any siblings.

It’s one of many reasons I’m so grateful to be playing the character with Christina, because I think we both have that empathy and compassion for her.

I just don’t think you can play a character that you hate.

I don’t in any world hate Misty.

I think she’s fascinating.

But one of the reasons I think people do care about her is that Christina and I are able to find those parts of her that are endearing and loving, and it may be a façade or a manipulation, but I do think there are parts of her that really are broken, and it’s hard not to feel for her.

It’s really weird to watch it on the show, because I’m like, “Oh my gosh.

We didn’t even talk about that, and she’s doing the same thing that I’m doing.” Even the little giggles that she does, I’m like, “Oh my gosh.

So, it’s really special to now not only work with her but be the same character as her.

I didn’t really know what was wrong with me for most of my life.

It was almost like my body wouldn’t let me be sick when I had work, and the second a weekend came, I would have a fever and we didn’t really know what was going on!

I feel like just being on set was a survival course, honestly.

We really just jumped straight into it, and I don’t know if it was the first day or during filming, but Courtney [Eaton] bruised her leg and a lot of people had cuts and bruises.

I think it’s some cartoon song, but we just did it because we were in the wilderness.

As long as it’s Beyond Human, I’m good.

I’m curious what you think drives Misty.

I think that she wants so badly to be loved and cared about, and she just really wants to matter?

Who can I talk to?” I think if it wasn’t for her trying so hard, nobody would know she was there.

In her mind, I think it really is that simple: this is in my way, now it’s not.

I don’t think she thought, “I’m going to strand them all here forever!” I think it was purely just, “I want to keep feeling this,” and she didn’t have an end plan of when it was going to stop.

I think that Misty will find any opportunity to try to have any bit of power, and I think that even when we don’t realize it, she’s trying to use people and get in there!

I think I was around eight years old, so I don’t know who was on.

But fun fact: me and Dylan Minnette were on there together when we were kids, so it’s been really cool to see him grow up and really flourish!

There are all kinds of different personalities in this industry, but it’s so nice when you see the people who were always kind and always had a good head on their shoulders succeed, so I’m really happy for him.

I feel like I have been very lucky and blessed in my career, but I’ve also had so many downs.

I’ve never been a series regular on a show, and I gotta tell you, I feel like the luckiest person in the world.

And I also feel like an example of the fact that every time you’re told no, you just have to get yourself back up.

I… just feel like the luckiest person ever
