Katherine Barrell Interview
Q: Hi Katherine, please tell us a little about yourself?
Katherine Barrell: I’m a Canadian actor and director best known for my role as Nicole Haught on Syfy’s Wynonna Earp
Q: Describe yourself in 3 words?
Katherine Barrell: Multidisciplinary, driven, over-scheduled
Q: Why and how did you get started in acting?
Katherine Barrell: When I was around age 5 I was watching the behind the scenes footage from the making of Disney’s animated movie Beauty and the Beast. I saw Angela Lansbury I the recording booth voicing Mrs. Potts and that’s when it clicked for me that real people were playing those characters.
Katherine Barrell: I told my mom I wanted to be the “voice of the Disney” characters. Later in my grade 8 year book I wrote that I wanted to be a film director. Professionally I did several plays and musicals with my school and community center growing up and went on to attend Classical theatre School at George Brown College.
Q: Any other family member is in the business?
Katherine Barrell: Nope! We have engineers, accountants, farmers, nurses, business-women. No one knows what happened to me!
Q: Do you have or had acting classes?
Katherine Barrell: Oh definitely I try to continuously be learning on the side – either taking a scene study class or a directing / producing workshop. I have a diploma in Business Management for Film that I got through attending weekend / night school after I graduated college.
Katherine Barrell: I wanted to continue to produce my films and knew I needed to understand the business side of my industry to do so. It wasn’t the most fun thing to trek out to first thing on a Sunday morning but the learning has been invaluable for me! Through my company, Kit Media, I have produced 7 short films, three of which I directed. I have started working on my first feature.
Q: What roles do you like to play? And why?
Katherine Barrell: I really like playing my character, Nicole Haught on Wynonna Earp. She is strong, confident and I love playing a cop! I tend to enjoy playing career women who are doing “non-traditional” female jobs. I learn so much about other industries and it’s rewarding to be part of hopefully breaking down barriers for women in these worlds.
Katherine Barrell: I would really love to work on a period piece in the near future. I love learning about history through these shows and the costumes are always incredible. I am also desperate to work on some Shakespeare sometime soon – I miss it so much from doing it in school.
Q: Tell us about “Wynonna Earp” your character Nicole Haught?
Katherine Barrell: Nicole is a Deputy Officer in the small town of Purgatory where the show takes place. She has recently started dating her crush Waverly Earp – after a season of very patient courting, which I salute her for! Is Season One Nicole learns about the supernatural happenings in purgatory but struggles to keep her hunches a secret.
Katherine Barrell: Nicole is strong, sensitive and confident – but she definitely has a few vulnerabilities which we will start to see come out in Season Two. I am loving the opportunity to explore this more vulnerable side of her that is a little rawer than the Nicole we saw in Season One.
Q: What other projects you have been part of?
Katherine Barrell: I have done several different TV shows and features but my latest project just premiered on the CBC. It is called Workin Moms and I play Alicia Rutherford who is an up-tight “perfect” mom who makes her own organic baby food, sews diapers etc.
She drives the other mothers in their weekly Mommy & Me group nuts! I had a blast working on this show full of fantastic, strong female comediennes. I feel confident that Workin Moms will show in the states in the near future!
Q: Who is your favorite actor/actress?
Katherine Barrell: Meryl Streep has always been an inspiration to me – as she is for many, many people. As an actor, I love admire the diversity of roles she takes on – from seriously drama to a light costume-comedy back to back. I find a lot of actors unfortunately get stuck doing the same genre over and over. Meryl is one of the best actors of our time without a doubt. I am also a big fan of Emily Blunt fan Jennifer Lawrence – both versatile and fearless
Q: What are the most useful tips you could give to someone who’s just starting in the acting world?
Katherine Barrell: I think today you really need to develop a multidisciplinary mindset. If you want to be an actor in film also seek out opportunities to work behind the camera. You will become a much better actor by observing from the other side and gain such an appreciation for all the other jobs on set – it really takes a village of people working in perfect harmony to make a movie.
Q: What’s one of the funniest or memorable thing that have happened to you on set?
Katherine Barrell: My first day ever working on set I was playing a guest-star part on an ABC pilot. Still the biggest most expensive set I’ve been on to this day! My first scene up I was partially nude, murdering a man in a bathtub. On set when the first assistant director calls out, “back to ones” it means all actors, camera, crew go back to your first mark to reset from the top.
Katherine Barrell: Of course never having stepped on a film set I didn’t know that. So we do the first take and “back to ones” is yelled out. Everyone is scurrying around me and I am standing there still in the middle of the room, soaking wet, almost naked like a deer in the headlights. Nothing since has ever been that mortifying – so it really was all downhill from there!
Q: What’s your favorite show on T.V. right now?
Katherine Barrell: I am obsessed with The Affair on Showtime. I love the storytelling style of playing the same scene multiple times from a different character’s point of view – I think its brilliant. I also love Amazon’s Transparent and Black Mirror on Netflix.
Q: Do you support any charity?
Katherine Barrell: I am a brand ambassador with @GirlTalkEmpowerment and their #PinkBox initiative which deliver positive message lifestyle products to women age 12 and up. I followed the awesome work of Girl Talk for a few years before I became an ambassador. This amazing organization runs courses throughout the year which provide leadership opportunities for girls, positive body image counselling, teamwork seminars and confidence building.
Q: What do you do when you have some time off?
Katherine Barrell: My partner and I just purchased our first home so in my spare time I am really enjoying seeking out new pieces of furniture and art for our space. I have been saving for my first home for ten years now and it’s finally a reality so I am incredibly happy about it!
I also have some fun DIY projects (such as leather drawer pulls and platform bed building) planned for when I am home from shooting on Wynonna Earp in the spring.
Q: Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
Katherine Barrell: I want to continue working on many different genres of television and begin directing on some larger projects. I’d also love to take some time away to do a directing intensive in the next few years.
Q: How important is Social Media for you?
Katherine Barrell: It is very important as it is the place I can connect with my fans. They are incredibly supportive and encouraging and whenever I am having a sad day or not feeling confident reading their beautiful messages lifts me up. I am so lucky to have them!
