Melissa Roxburgh Reveals What 'Manifest' Costar Josh Dallas Taught Her About Leading a Show

Transcript

00:00Also, you're number one on, you know, the call sheet, and this is not your first leading role,

00:05but I'm very curious, kind of, how do you approach it? How do you, like, is there a

00:08responsibility that you feel, kind of, leading the show? Did you learn anything from your time

00:12on Manifest, kind of, being the lead that you took here? Yeah, Josh taught me a lot, actually,

00:18because I went into Manifest still pretty green as far as leading goes, and so I watched a lot

00:23of how he handled things, and conflict, and all that stuff, and he just has such a grace about him

00:28and this pleasant energy that he doesn't have conflict, and so I was like, okay, even on, like,

00:33a really long day where nothing's going right, he still handles it like that. Okay, good,

00:38and so then going into this show, I mean, it didn't really feel like I had to do anything,

00:43because everyone was just great, but I think, I think the only thing that, like, I really

00:50care about is making sure that everyone on set feels good, because I've had sets where I don't

00:55feel good, or I don't feel like people want to connect with me, and stuff like that, and I just

01:00don't want anyone coming on to the hunting party to feel that way, and so I guess just that. Yeah,

01:06and also Manifest, obviously, was such a big show, and I feel like there's still all these fans,

01:10kind of, supporting you from project to project, so what's that been like, kind of, getting to have

01:14this fan base that goes with you, and have you, like, what has been their reception to this show,

01:18because it's a little different from Manifest, but it's still really good. The fan base is so

01:23loyal, and they're so, there's, they feel like family in their own way to us now, but it's,

01:28it's, I feel just, like, warm and fuzzy, the fact that they love Manifest, and then they're cheering

01:34for this show to do well, too, it just makes me feel like, I don't know, I don't know who some

01:39of you guys are, I don't know where in the world you are, but, like, the fact that you spend this

01:42much time supporting and pumping it up, it's, like, it's so meaningful and lovely.
