d3rang3d Interviews : Tiffany Shepis

d3rang3d managed to catch up with scream queen Tiffany Shepis, star of countless horror b-movies and cult classics.

Tiffany features in upcoming horror movie Live Evil, we wanted to know more about her part in the movie as well as some info about the lovely screen goddess herself.

So to hell with our yapping, we now proudly present an interview with Tiffany Shepis:

d3rang3d : What can you tell us about your character in Live Evil?

Tiffany Shepis : Live Evil?  I played a drug dealing crazy named "Spider"...hence the web tattoo on my face. I had a ball on that film, despite only shooting for one or two days. I have seen some of the footage and it looks pretty bad ass but how can it not be with Tim, Foree and mother fucking Tiffany Shepis ;)

d3rang3d : As an actress how do you prepare when taking on a role?

Tiffany Shepis : How do I prepare?  Damn I didn't know I was supposed to do that....that's what's been wrong all these years..haha.  I don't know, obviously you need to study cause the last thing you want to do is show up on a set where everybody else has done their homework and you're like ...uhhh I don't know my lines.  Fortunately my parts usually have me playing something similar to myself so it's not as difficult.

d3rang3d : Did you have any scenes with Tim Thomerson or Ken Foree? If so how cool was it working with them? And what attracted you most to working in Live Evil?

Tiffany Shepis : What attracted me to "Live Evil".  Well I've been friends with Jay Woelfel for a while now and we had always talked about working on something but schedules n stuff never seemed to pan out.  Even with Live Evil it took like 3 months in order to set up that one day of filming.  It's always nice to work with people you dig and even though Ken (Foree) and I had no scenes together that's my boy, so anything he's in, I'm down!  I didn't have any scenes with Thomerson which sucks cause I've always been a fan of his and even met him at cons a few times but NOPE. ( Maybe in "Live Evil..Returns"!! Ha)

d3rang3d : Any interesting stories to tell, serious or funny, from your time on set?

Tiffany Shepis : Stories?  Like I said I was only on for one night and when you are shooting stuff that fast it's hard to have down time to fuck around ...so it was really work work work, let's get this done.

d3rang3d : Which part have you enjoyed playing the most in your career?

Tiffany Shepis : What part have I enjoyed playing the most?  Hmmm it use to be Marsha from "The Hazing' cause of the whole Brad Dourif possession thing but now I'd have to say playing "Bonnie" in "Bonnie and Clyde Vs. Dracula".  It was totally different then a lot of my other stuff. I got to play a REAL character ...blond hair, accent, guns..it was RAD. I think it may be my fans favorite when it comes out next year.

d3rang3d : Which creative artists do you really admire and why?

Tiffany Shepis : What creative peeps do I admire?  I admire pretty much everybody I have worked with.  I mean good or bad it's fucking hard to make a movie.  I admire Rolfe Kanefsky for being so god damn driven..ME?  I prefer just to go get a cocktail then actually work.;)

d3rang3d : What's in store next for Tiffany Shepis?

Tiffany Shepis : What's in store for me next?  I'm working on a movie right now in Lake Charles LA called "Good Boy" kind of a weirdo Lynchy thriller. Then shooting another crazy one called "Promises"..waiting on BCVD to come out...Homesick...Nympha...Rule of 3...Resist Evil..Live Evil...Zombthology among others it should be a busy fucking year at blockbuster ;)  Besides all that I'm directing my first feature called "The Devils Pies".  Started casting already and have some super bad ass horror-porn-rap-cameos..should be bad ass...errrrr or not ;)
 

d3rang3d : Finally here is your spot to say anything to world you want, the mic is yours......

Tiffany Shepis : Mic is mine...uhhhh damn you put me on the spot I hate that...don't you know I'm shy!!!!?????!!!!  Uhh for more info check out www.tiffany-shepis.com or my myspace which I don't know the address for and I LOVE D3rang3d Magazine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
