Hello, and welcome to the Scene 2 Seen Podcast!
I’m Valerie Complex, affiliate editor and movie author at Deadline. Today, I’m chatting with actress Mackenzie Lansing, who stars as Coral, the District Four tribute in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
The movie takes place years earlier than Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) would turn into the tyrannical President of Panem, when the 18-year-old is the final hope for his fading lineage, a once-proud household that has fallen from grace in a postwar Capitol. With the tenth annual Hunger Games quick approaching, the young Snow is alarmed when he’s assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), the woman tribute from impoverished District 12.
Lansing is a French-American actress and author primarily based in New York and LA. She grew up in France and the Democratic Republic of Congo earlier than shifting to the U.S. to pursue appearing. She began her profession on tv exhibits together with Red Oaks, Tell Me a narrative and extra. Lansing began working with large names within the business with roles like Jamie on HBO’s The Deuce. She gained notoriety for her position as Brianna on award-winning Mare of Easttown. As for movies, Lansing appeared in Gareth Edwards’ sci-fi pic The Creator earlier than touchdown her greatest position to this point in Songbirds & Snakes. Next up is Allswell in New York, alongside Elizabeth Rodriguez and Bobby Cannavale.
On in the present day’s episode, Lansing and I focus on easy methods to build a robust appearing profession, how she coped in the course of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes and what it was prefer to audition at home for Hunger Games and such a bodily position.
