Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hello, and welcome to the situal edition of Christmas movie Spotlight.
I'm your host, Dom Mac, and I'm here with my friend,
my colleague, my co host, my bestie, whatever you want
to call her. Hey, Pam, how are you.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I'm doing great, and you have to addswer that my friend,
I know I can call it midnight.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah, that is very true, and we won't tell the
listeners why.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But no, I'm having to help.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The crisis the other night. Just so you know, and
without going into detail, Pama is a night owl. Literally,
she's up through the night most of the time. And
I knew I could call on her. I knew I could,
which you know, she might eventually get me call me
because I'm usually leaping when she's awake. But yeah, so yeah,
(01:10):
she she had that brand you can count on no
matter what. So thank you, bestie.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh, you're very welcome, Okay, and that's all that's that matters.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yes, and I am too. I'm very happy. Have you
had a good week.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's been pretty good. How about yourself?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, I mean I crisis averted, emergency of arts whatever
you want to Yeah, I'm doing jogging aside. I'm doing
good and have had a good week, and I mean,
we're in the throes of the holiday season now and
everybody seems to be excited. The Christmas movies are in
full force, and I'm getting my fix on watching as
(01:53):
many of them as possible. I know you are too,
so I.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Got my TVR going for the one, and it's like,
how do you choose? You know?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Well, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
The great thing is that when we learned that there
were going to be less premieres of new movies across
all the networks this year, my first thought was, finally,
maybe Pam and I will get to watch all of them, right,
because back I'm running right And a few years back,
early on in the years of our show, when there
(02:26):
were over one hundred movies across all networks, it was like,
I don't know how we're going to do this, you know.
So now it's doable, and I'm excited, and so far
I haven't missed one, and so it's just been a
lot of fun so far, and a lot more relaxed.
But speaking of Christmas movies, our guest today is in
(02:47):
two holiday movies this season, and I'm talking about the
wonderfully talented and beautiful Rebecca Dalton and he is. She
was such a delight to speak with.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I loved her, She's so sweet, and I hope that
her lottery ticket is a big one this year.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I know, I know, and you'll find out more about
that later in the interview. But you know, one thing
that really stood out to me about Rebecca is when
you see her on screen, she has such a natural
persona of the way she acts with her characters and
stuff and the way it comes across. And she's very
(03:29):
much the same off screen, so you know, there's no
fake until you make it when she's on screen, which
you know, pretty much what you see on screen is
what she is off screen. She's equally as nice and
charming and lovely off screen as well. And she was
just delight to speak with.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, definitely. I really had a lot of fun with her,
and it almost didn't want to you know, isn't that
so true?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yep, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
So well.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
For our listeners, be sure to catch Rebecca in both
of our holiday movies. One is called Rodeo Christmas Romance
and the other one is Christmas in Big Sky Country
and they both sound fantastic.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Absolutely absolutely, Now we you know, in full transparency, we
know that Christmas and Big Sky Country is going to
premiere on up TV. We do not have the date yet,
but we do know that and Rodeo Christmas Romance will
either be Lifetime or up TV, but it will be
out the year And as soon as we get that information,
we will pass that along on our social media. And
(04:42):
we are so excited to bring you our interview with
Rebecca Dalton.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Enjoy the show.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
This is Rebecca Dalton and you're listening to Pam and Don.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Hello Rebecca, Thank you so much for joining us today.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Oh, you're very welcome. We're really excited to speak with
you and learn more about you.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Well, I'm happy to be here, guys.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Thanks. Wow, And here's where we're going to find out
a little bit more about you. What for who first
inspired you to pursue acting and what was your first
professional job.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh that's a great question.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Thank you for me.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I have always loved performing since I can remember. You know,
I was always in the school plays. I mean I'm
talking like junior kindergarten. I was in these little plays
and all throughout school, high school, and I my thing
was that I loved to make people laugh, So I
always did bits.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Steve Verkle was my go to.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
You know, it'd hike my pants up really really high,
and you know that, did I do that?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And it would make my family laugh.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
So I was always just trying to find new ways
to make people laugh. So that's kind of where it
stemmed from. And then it was just a passion for
performing at the end of the day. So I was
just in all the plays and then all the acting
classes I could get involved in.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
And when I was.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
About fourteen, I was in an acting class and they
brought in an agent from Toronto, Canada, where I'm from,
and they.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Wanted to sign me.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
So that was kind of my entrance into film and television.
And through that agent, I got my first role, which
was a KFC.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Commercial and I remember my line was.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
You don't need a coupon, and I had to say
that about fifty different times, and then I had to
say it in French, which I don't see.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
So yeah, that was my first role and then it
kind of snowballed from there.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
It was just I loved every minute of it, the
auditioning process to the actual work, and it's just, yeah,
I've never lost.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Interest well, one things for sure, just seeing you on
screen and everything you've done, it is very definitive that
you were always destined to be an actress and pursue
this as career because you're so such a natural and
you've come across that way. So it's just it's great
to watch you and everything that you do.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So how do you balance the creative side of acting
with the business side of the industry.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Oh, that's a very good question. It's difficult, and it's
taken a very.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Long time to find that balance and I still think
that I'm still finding it along the way.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You know, with this industry, it's it's very on and off.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Some years you have big years with lots of work
and then others you don't. So keeping that creative element
alive is is difficult. And you know, you can do
all these acting classes and auditions definitely help. It's just
a way to you know, whether you get the role
or not, it's just a way to get the juices
flowing and look at different characters and bring different things,
(08:06):
and you're constantly learning through that process. So I think
that's incredibly helpful. And you know, having friends in the
industry is so important. I have two actress friends of mine.
We've always known each other all day every day. We're
constantly talking about new things, new ideas, and I think
that really keeps us going, especially in the slower times
(08:30):
and even now, you know, it's been a slow couple
of years for the industry. And I have a couple
of friends of mine in the business and we've decided
that we're going to make our own movie.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
So that's kept me going in the lower moments.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Yeah, and just learning the other side of the camera
and how these things get made, and and you know,
that's a whole other ballgame in itself. So it's just
always keeping things fresh and always keeping your toe in
something so that you just you never feel too distanced
from it, I guess, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And you know that kind of goes with my next question,
because we know as an actor's role to role unless
you get behind the camera and then it gives you
a little bit more you know that you can possibly
be doing. But I know of a singer who said
he has to make it because there's no plan B.
Did you ever have a plan B? When you first started.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
My parents wanted me to have a plan B.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
So I actually I moved to Toronto and went to
university there, and my parents said, you can pursue acting,
but you have to get a degree in something else,
so that you have something to fall back on, because
you know, I can't imagine for a parent how terrifying
it is when their child wants to be an actor,
because it's scary and it's very insecure.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
So I went to Ryerson.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
University, which I think is called something else now, but
I went into psychology. I didn't know what else to do,
but I taking acting classes outside and that was my passion.
I was doing commercials. I was still doing that, but
I was working on the side.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
But I found psychology very difficult and very.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Time consuming, and it took up too much time from acting.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
So I switched to sociology and that there was just
no passion there for me.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I probably should have spent more time figuring out what
else interests me. But you know, when you're seventeen years old,
you don't know what you're doing and you don't know
where you want to go, and I think that's a
big flaw in the system, which is an entire other conversation.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
But I tried and I.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Ended up booking a sitcom and my third year of university.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
And that took me out of school.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I couldn't do both, and the school actually made it
very difficult for me to do online courses and night
time classes, and I ended up just never finishing because
of that. So I didn't have the backup degree that
my parents wanted. But I did work quite consistently, which
was great, and it's been great. But you know, kind
(11:08):
of getting into producing is sort of I think, another
way to in a sense of backup plan, but just
something else to get myself into into the business, but
doing something different, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And you know, with passions, it's so easy to stay
driven and focused when you have a passion and you're
so determined to achieve it no matter what, and so
everything else almost still secondary if you're trying to pursue
something as a backup plan, per se. So you know,
it is it is one of those things that I
think is a great driver of success in a lot
(11:44):
of ways. But you know, sometimes failure does happen and
then you wonder what am I going to do now?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
You know, But I think, yeah, that is I think
actors go through that weekly right right to do and
then just like.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That, yeah and something comes that's right. So, you know,
another thing that we've spoken with actors, and we've heard
many actors admit that, you know, they either still have
stage fright or that they have a certain ritual that
they do before they go on camera. Do you have
either one of those? And how do you handle it?
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I definitely don't have a ritual, I mean other than
just the way that I prepare.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But there's no there's no ritual for me. And you know,
I haven't had stage fright in a long time. I
used to. I used to get it all. It's just
day one. I wouldn't sleep the night before. That was
just classic, and a lot of actors.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Will say that the night before day one, it's just
you just don't know what to expect. You have to
meet everybody, and you're you're on camera for the first
time sorting at your characters.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
So but but I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I've found this comfort, at least in the last five
or six years, and I just love it so much.
And I've had every experience that I have had on
camera has been a good one. I'm very lucky that way.
But it seems like each job, the experience gets better
and better. So I only have excitement and I only
come to set very excited. I have a good sleep
(13:13):
because I know I'm about to do something I love,
and when the camera rolls, I'm I don't know, I
just fall into it, so I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I guess I'm lucky that way, you know. But it
goes back and forth.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I'm sure a role will present itself where it's you know,
where I get the jitters, depending depending who you're working with,
depending on a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Right well, that kind of goes with my next question.
Are there any dream rolls or genres you've loved to
explore that you haven't yet? So there you might be
working with somebody.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Definitely a dream role, you know.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
I do a lot of the Christmas movies, a lot
of Hallmark movies, and I love them. I have so
much fun with them. But I would love to do
something darker. That's kind of always been a thing that
I wanted to try, which I haven't really been able
to explore. And I really do again, as I said,
(14:12):
even since I was a child, I really really love comedy.
So I did do a sitcom in Toronto for two
seasons and it was a comedy and it was really, really,
really fun. But I do love exercising that side of me,
which is hard. Comedy is really hard to break into,
it's hard to stay in. But I would love to
keep exploring that genre for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Well, I'm sure whatever you do, Rebecca is going to
be great, you know, if you get the opportunity to
do other things, because you're awesome in what you do
that we've seen from you. And so when you're not acting,
which is seldom, but when you're not acting and you
have some downtime, what do you do to recharge and
just kind of keep your creative Jesus following without constantly
(14:58):
be thinking about what you're doing as a That's a
great question.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
And again, it's taken me.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Twenty years to get to the place that I'm at,
and as I said, I'm still learning as I go.
But a really important thing is when I was younger,
the next job was always the focus, and it was
how do I get there?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
What do I do?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
And I was kind of losing sight of the present moment.
And I think for me, what's really helped me.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Is to have acting as the passion and work at it.
But also know that it's not the be all and
end all and there.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
You know, I want to be a good daughter and
a good sister, and a good wife and a good
dog mom.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So in the.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Downtimes I really like to prioritize those things while I
have the time. It's really important to me to find
purpose and meaning in those things as well. So I
think that's been an ever changing balance, but I think
that I've got to a really good place with it.
And again with you know, auditioning and reading new scripts
(16:06):
and trying to start new things. That's just a way
to keep the creative juices flowing in those down times.
And you know, my husband has a crazy job. He's
always traveling around following race tracks and whatnot, So in
the downtimes it gives me time to spend with him
and perhaps meet him wherever he is. And you know,
between the two of us, we're always balancing crazy careers
(16:28):
in lives.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
So right, yeah, Well, I mean you can get a
lot of experience too out of just living life. Yes,
that you can put behind a role too.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Absolutely, that is a very very good point if you
really are in the moment and you really take in
the experiences that you're having, you're so surprised at what
can come out in your characters exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So what's been your most challenging role so far and
how did you prepare for That's a.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Really great question.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Would I would say I would say my most challenging
role was when I was on that sitcom. I think
that it's over potentially overlooked. That comedy is actually very
very difficult, and it requires timing which is really hard,
and it's very subjective and it's really hard to hit
(17:23):
those notes. And when I first got that job, that
job the first day, I had crazy nerves. You know,
I was working with Dave Foley, who is a comedy legend,
and I you know, I'd gone through a very lengthy
audition process. I think I did like nine full auditions
for that and Ken Reid's with different actors, and I
(17:45):
had to know, like, Okay, they chose me for a reason.
I obviously can do something, and I just had to
stay really true to myself and where I saw the comedy.
But that every day, every scene, finding the comedy and
hitting it and really getting it was extremely challenging.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
And also when you get.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
That laugh just so incredibly rewarding because we did it
in front of a live studio audience, so you get
the real time laughs, right, it's not they put the
laugh track on kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
So that was the most rewarding, but also.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
The most terrifying because when you didn't get the laugh
you're like, oh gosh, what do I need to rework here?
But you got to work with the writers and it
was a very collaborative experience.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
And yeah, I would have to say that would be
the big challenge for me.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well, we are excited. We learned that you've got two
Christmas movies that are going to be on TV this year.
I tell Pamas that I can't wait because you're one
of my favorite actresses. I'll just say that, And so
anything you do I'm always going to watch because, like
I said earlier, you have such a natural ability about
you that comes through on screen. So I think it
(18:58):
does resonate with a lot of viewers when I see
your work. But we understand you've you've wrapped Radio Christmas Romance,
and then you've got a movie coming out on up
TV Christmas in Big Sky Country. What can you share
with us about those movies? I've given too much away.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Oh, rodeo Christmas Romance. I loved that. I was drawn
to that role because.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
There were horses, and I used to ride, and I
love horses. So when I found out about this, I
got really really excited because I haven't worked with a
horse before, so I'd never played a cowboy or cowgirl,
so it was just it's something different. And I've worked
with Corey many times and I adore that man.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I adore his wife. Her and I are very close
as well, so whenever I hear that I'm going to
work with him, it just it.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Just flows with him. The chemistry is there, and he's
just such a great scene partner. So that movie is
uh is.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
About to roade stars who had to.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
My character has a best friend who has a farm
and we're about to go on a Christmas rodeo tour
when my horse gets injured and I can't join my
best friend immediately, so he has to leave me to
go on tour and I have to stay back at
his farm and get my horse better.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
But his estranged brother.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Ends up returning back from the military to the farm
and he and I have to figure out a way
to coexist while I get my horse better and he
ends up, you know, helping me do that, and you know,
the drama ensues.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
But it's a really good one.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
And this one too, you know, just on the conversation
of comedy. There was a lot of funny beats, a
lot of very serious beats as well.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
But we had a really good time with this one
and I'm really excited for it.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's great. And you mentioned that Corey's character is going
to be coming back from the military, and I love
the fact anytime I'm a military element is incorporated into
a movie, just as that little something extra special.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Yes, absolutely, and he you know, he plays a different
role than I'm used to him playing, which is very.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Troubled really, and there's a.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Couple of scenes where you know, he really has to
dig deep and it's very emotional, and you know, it
just brought something different and I'm really excited for everyone
to see that because he really he did an amazing job.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And your other maybe Christmas of Big scott Country. What
can you share about that one?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
That one we shot back in twenty twenty three with
Olivier Brineaut, who's a great friend of mine as well.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That one is about Sorry, I'm getting all mixed up
with my Christmas movies in my head. My character is
close with her sister and her sister's husband ends.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Up getting stuck in in Oh gosh, what's it called.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Oh no, I'm going to forget what it's called. It's
not a mine, but it's kind of like that. I'm sorry,
I should know what that's called. Oh it's a word,
you know. They get stuck in the what's that? Okay
sort of a key but he works with oil.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
It's like a oh, oh, I think I know, yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
What's that word? Oh gosh, it's gonna hit me right
when we hang up. But a rig, an oil rig,
that's what.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
There you go, There we go.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I knew I was going to get there.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
But he gets trapped in an oil rig and the
the CEO of the company ends up having to come
out and see us and promise us that everything's going
to be okay.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
And we do not like this guy because you know, it's.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
All corporate and he's you know, he's just reading us
the lines and he ends up, you know, and his
job is pr so he's just trying to make sure
that nothing gets out in the media, and he keeps
us happy and we kind of see through it, and
he ends up getting close to us and realizing, you know,
that he actually cares and he wants to help. And yeah,
(23:10):
it's a really beautiful story. I do really love it.
I don't want to give too much.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Away, but yeah, yeah, well, we all know how these
movies are going to end, exactly to watch the build
up to the end exactly, that's the true Well, movie
fans are incredibly loyal Yao.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Has that community impacted you as an actress?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I love the Christmas movie community.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
I mean, you know, it's like what you said, you know,
we kind of all know how these movies end, but
no one tires of them, and they're they really bring
a lot of joy to people. And that's one of
the main reasons I absolutely love doing these movies is
is there's a big community and and it's a kind community.
Whenever the movies come out, I received the kindest messages
(24:03):
from people, and I feel like it's a different bubble,
you know. I think in the world today, it's not
always kind. It's not always a kind place. And when
you when you're in show business, you kind of open
yourself up to a lot, whether that's positive or negative criticism.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
But with this community.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I just find it's such a as you said, loyal
place and just so positive and and I'm so grateful
to be surrounded by these people all the time.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, it's it's really hard to overcome the joy, you know,
that you feel during this time of year, and the nostalgia.
It kind of transports you back through when you were
small and you remember all the traditions that you did,
and it's it's a it's a beautiful thing, even if
it only lasts for a season, but it's something you
try to hold onto throughout the rest of the year exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
And it makes it special to the it's only one season,
it's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
That's true. So we have one more fun little question
we always like to wrap up our interviews with, and
this is the lightning round with all Christmas theme questions.
You're no wrong answers. It's like a yay or an
a kind of thing. But the first one is do
you prefer a fake tree or a real tree?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Real tree? I like the smell.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I don't like the mess it makes. It it's a
mess either, but I love I love the smell because
I say, oh, it's Christmas, you know. Okay, On the tree.
Do you have to have matching ornaments or do you
mix and match.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Them matching like I like to do. It doesn't have
to be all matching, but I like to do. I
like to have a theme.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
I like it to be, yeah, like Redding gold or
something like that. I try to switch it up, but
I do like a theme, if you will.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
So do you prefer snow for Christmas? Or do you
like beach weather?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Snow? Big, big time snow on Christmas? Ever done beach
on Christmas? And I don't?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Me neither, But it's some people, do you know? People
knowing that the beach at that time of year either exactly?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I would be if I could just and I have
snow too much winter, so I would definitely take the.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, it wouldn't be the same, but I get it.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I know there's something about it, you know. So do
you prefer Christmas in July through December or only in December?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Only in December. I'll do November as well, November December,
but yeah, I I November first, right after Halloween. I'm
ready to go.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
M And last, but not least, one thing you have
to find in your stocking.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
A lottery ticket.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I don't know why, but that is something my parents
have put in my stocking since as long as I
can remember, So it is just not Christmas without a
little lottery ticket in my stocking. I think I've only
ever won about twelve dollars. But but it's it's it's
it's a tradition.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I don't know if that's kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Or not, but no, it's We had another guest that
said exactly that.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
So yeah, okay, good, okay, it's a thing.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I think it is a thing. I think it is
a thing.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Indeed, I think it's more common than we know of.
You know, we're finding that now.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, okay you can.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yeah, let me know if you hear more about it,
because yeah, that's what That's the one thing I think
of when I think of stocking.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
There's always so much in there, but right without fail, and.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
The fact you want money at one point that was
great too, you know, said yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, and you're not actually losing anything because somebody else
bought that ticket, like Santa Claus, right about it.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah, there you go.

Hello, and welcome to the situal edition of Christmas movie Spotlight.
I'm your host, Dom Mac, and I'm here with my friend,
my colleague, my co host, my bestie, whatever you want
to call her. Hey, Pam, how are you.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I'm doing great, and you have to addswer that my friend,
I know I can call it midnight.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah, that is very true, and we won't tell the
listeners why.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But no, I'm having to help.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The crisis the other night. Just so you know, and
without going into detail, Pama is a night owl. Literally,
she's up through the night most of the time. And
I knew I could call on her. I knew I could,
which you know, she might eventually get me call me
because I'm usually leaping when she's awake. But yeah, so yeah,
(01:10):
she she had that brand you can count on no
matter what. So thank you, bestie.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh, you're very welcome, Okay, and that's all that's that matters.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yes, and I am too. I'm very happy. Have you
had a good week.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's been pretty good. How about yourself?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, I mean I crisis averted, emergency of arts whatever
you want to Yeah, I'm doing jogging aside. I'm doing
good and have had a good week, and I mean,
we're in the throes of the holiday season now and
everybody seems to be excited. The Christmas movies are in
full force, and I'm getting my fix on watching as
(01:53):
many of them as possible. I know you are too,
so I.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Got my TVR going for the one, and it's like,
how do you choose? You know?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Well, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
The great thing is that when we learned that there
were going to be less premieres of new movies across
all the networks this year, my first thought was, finally,
maybe Pam and I will get to watch all of them, right,
because back I'm running right And a few years back,
early on in the years of our show, when there
(02:26):
were over one hundred movies across all networks, it was like,
I don't know how we're going to do this, you know.
So now it's doable, and I'm excited, and so far
I haven't missed one, and so it's just been a
lot of fun so far, and a lot more relaxed.
But speaking of Christmas movies, our guest today is in
(02:47):
two holiday movies this season, and I'm talking about the
wonderfully talented and beautiful Rebecca Dalton and he is. She
was such a delight to speak with.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I loved her, She's so sweet, and I hope that
her lottery ticket is a big one this year.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I know, I know, and you'll find out more about
that later in the interview. But you know, one thing
that really stood out to me about Rebecca is when
you see her on screen, she has such a natural
persona of the way she acts with her characters and
stuff and the way it comes across. And she's very
(03:29):
much the same off screen, so you know, there's no
fake until you make it when she's on screen, which
you know, pretty much what you see on screen is
what she is off screen. She's equally as nice and
charming and lovely off screen as well. And she was
just delight to speak with.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, definitely. I really had a lot of fun with her,
and it almost didn't want to you know, isn't that
so true?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yep, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
So well.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
For our listeners, be sure to catch Rebecca in both
of our holiday movies. One is called Rodeo Christmas Romance
and the other one is Christmas in Big Sky Country
and they both sound fantastic.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Absolutely absolutely, Now we you know, in full transparency, we
know that Christmas and Big Sky Country is going to
premiere on up TV. We do not have the date yet,
but we do know that and Rodeo Christmas Romance will
either be Lifetime or up TV, but it will be
out the year And as soon as we get that information,
we will pass that along on our social media. And
(04:42):
we are so excited to bring you our interview with
Rebecca Dalton.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Enjoy the show.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
This is Rebecca Dalton and you're listening to Pam and Don.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Hello Rebecca, Thank you so much for joining us today.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Oh, you're very welcome. We're really excited to speak with
you and learn more about you.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Well, I'm happy to be here, guys.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Thanks. Wow, And here's where we're going to find out
a little bit more about you. What for who first
inspired you to pursue acting and what was your first
professional job.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh that's a great question.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Thank you for me.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I have always loved performing since I can remember. You know,
I was always in the school plays. I mean I'm
talking like junior kindergarten. I was in these little plays
and all throughout school, high school, and I my thing
was that I loved to make people laugh, So I
always did bits.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Steve Verkle was my go to.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
You know, it'd hike my pants up really really high,
and you know that, did I do that?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And it would make my family laugh.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
So I was always just trying to find new ways
to make people laugh. So that's kind of where it
stemmed from. And then it was just a passion for
performing at the end of the day. So I was
just in all the plays and then all the acting
classes I could get involved in.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
And when I was.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
About fourteen, I was in an acting class and they
brought in an agent from Toronto, Canada, where I'm from,
and they.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Wanted to sign me.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
So that was kind of my entrance into film and television.
And through that agent, I got my first role, which
was a KFC.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Commercial and I remember my line was.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
You don't need a coupon, and I had to say
that about fifty different times, and then I had to
say it in French, which I don't see.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
So yeah, that was my first role and then it
kind of snowballed from there.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
It was just I loved every minute of it, the
auditioning process to the actual work, and it's just, yeah,
I've never lost.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Interest well, one things for sure, just seeing you on
screen and everything you've done, it is very definitive that
you were always destined to be an actress and pursue
this as career because you're so such a natural and
you've come across that way. So it's just it's great
to watch you and everything that you do.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So how do you balance the creative side of acting
with the business side of the industry.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Oh, that's a very good question. It's difficult, and it's
taken a very.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Long time to find that balance and I still think
that I'm still finding it along the way.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You know, with this industry, it's it's very on and off.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Some years you have big years with lots of work
and then others you don't. So keeping that creative element
alive is is difficult. And you know, you can do
all these acting classes and auditions definitely help. It's just
a way to you know, whether you get the role
or not, it's just a way to get the juices
flowing and look at different characters and bring different things,
(08:06):
and you're constantly learning through that process. So I think
that's incredibly helpful. And you know, having friends in the
industry is so important. I have two actress friends of mine.
We've always known each other all day every day. We're
constantly talking about new things, new ideas, and I think
that really keeps us going, especially in the slower times
(08:30):
and even now, you know, it's been a slow couple
of years for the industry. And I have a couple
of friends of mine in the business and we've decided
that we're going to make our own movie.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
So that's kept me going in the lower moments.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Yeah, and just learning the other side of the camera
and how these things get made, and and you know,
that's a whole other ballgame in itself. So it's just
always keeping things fresh and always keeping your toe in
something so that you just you never feel too distanced
from it, I guess, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And you know that kind of goes with my next question,
because we know as an actor's role to role unless
you get behind the camera and then it gives you
a little bit more you know that you can possibly
be doing. But I know of a singer who said
he has to make it because there's no plan B.
Did you ever have a plan B? When you first started.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
My parents wanted me to have a plan B.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
So I actually I moved to Toronto and went to
university there, and my parents said, you can pursue acting,
but you have to get a degree in something else,
so that you have something to fall back on, because
you know, I can't imagine for a parent how terrifying
it is when their child wants to be an actor,
because it's scary and it's very insecure.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
So I went to Ryerson.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
University, which I think is called something else now, but
I went into psychology. I didn't know what else to do,
but I taking acting classes outside and that was my passion.
I was doing commercials. I was still doing that, but
I was working on the side.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
But I found psychology very difficult and very.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Time consuming, and it took up too much time from acting.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
So I switched to sociology and that there was just
no passion there for me.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I probably should have spent more time figuring out what
else interests me. But you know, when you're seventeen years old,
you don't know what you're doing and you don't know
where you want to go, and I think that's a
big flaw in the system, which is an entire other conversation.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
But I tried and I.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Ended up booking a sitcom and my third year of university.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
And that took me out of school.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I couldn't do both, and the school actually made it
very difficult for me to do online courses and night
time classes, and I ended up just never finishing because
of that. So I didn't have the backup degree that
my parents wanted. But I did work quite consistently, which
was great, and it's been great. But you know, kind
(11:08):
of getting into producing is sort of I think, another
way to in a sense of backup plan, but just
something else to get myself into into the business, but
doing something different, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And you know, with passions, it's so easy to stay
driven and focused when you have a passion and you're
so determined to achieve it no matter what, and so
everything else almost still secondary if you're trying to pursue
something as a backup plan, per se. So you know,
it is it is one of those things that I
think is a great driver of success in a lot
(11:44):
of ways. But you know, sometimes failure does happen and
then you wonder what am I going to do now?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
You know, But I think, yeah, that is I think
actors go through that weekly right right to do and
then just like.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That, yeah and something comes that's right. So, you know,
another thing that we've spoken with actors, and we've heard
many actors admit that, you know, they either still have
stage fright or that they have a certain ritual that
they do before they go on camera. Do you have
either one of those? And how do you handle it?
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I definitely don't have a ritual, I mean other than
just the way that I prepare.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But there's no there's no ritual for me. And you know,
I haven't had stage fright in a long time. I
used to. I used to get it all. It's just
day one. I wouldn't sleep the night before. That was
just classic, and a lot of actors.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Will say that the night before day one, it's just
you just don't know what to expect. You have to
meet everybody, and you're you're on camera for the first
time sorting at your characters.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
So but but I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I've found this comfort, at least in the last five
or six years, and I just love it so much.
And I've had every experience that I have had on
camera has been a good one. I'm very lucky that way.
But it seems like each job, the experience gets better
and better. So I only have excitement and I only
come to set very excited. I have a good sleep
(13:13):
because I know I'm about to do something I love,
and when the camera rolls, I'm I don't know, I
just fall into it, so I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I guess I'm lucky that way, you know. But it
goes back and forth.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I'm sure a role will present itself where it's you know,
where I get the jitters, depending depending who you're working with,
depending on a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Right well, that kind of goes with my next question.
Are there any dream rolls or genres you've loved to
explore that you haven't yet? So there you might be
working with somebody.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Definitely a dream role, you know.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
I do a lot of the Christmas movies, a lot
of Hallmark movies, and I love them. I have so
much fun with them. But I would love to do
something darker. That's kind of always been a thing that
I wanted to try, which I haven't really been able
to explore. And I really do again, as I said,
(14:12):
even since I was a child, I really really love comedy.
So I did do a sitcom in Toronto for two
seasons and it was a comedy and it was really, really,
really fun. But I do love exercising that side of me,
which is hard. Comedy is really hard to break into,
it's hard to stay in. But I would love to
keep exploring that genre for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Well, I'm sure whatever you do, Rebecca is going to
be great, you know, if you get the opportunity to
do other things, because you're awesome in what you do
that we've seen from you. And so when you're not acting,
which is seldom, but when you're not acting and you
have some downtime, what do you do to recharge and
just kind of keep your creative Jesus following without constantly
(14:58):
be thinking about what you're doing as a That's a
great question.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
And again, it's taken me.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Twenty years to get to the place that I'm at,
and as I said, I'm still learning as I go.
But a really important thing is when I was younger,
the next job was always the focus, and it was
how do I get there?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
What do I do?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
And I was kind of losing sight of the present moment.
And I think for me, what's really helped me.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Is to have acting as the passion and work at it.
But also know that it's not the be all and
end all and there.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
You know, I want to be a good daughter and
a good sister, and a good wife and a good
dog mom.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So in the.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Downtimes I really like to prioritize those things while I
have the time. It's really important to me to find
purpose and meaning in those things as well. So I
think that's been an ever changing balance, but I think
that I've got to a really good place with it.
And again with you know, auditioning and reading new scripts
(16:06):
and trying to start new things. That's just a way
to keep the creative juices flowing in those down times.
And you know, my husband has a crazy job. He's
always traveling around following race tracks and whatnot, So in
the downtimes it gives me time to spend with him
and perhaps meet him wherever he is. And you know,
between the two of us, we're always balancing crazy careers
(16:28):
in lives.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
So right, yeah, Well, I mean you can get a
lot of experience too out of just living life. Yes,
that you can put behind a role too.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Absolutely, that is a very very good point if you
really are in the moment and you really take in
the experiences that you're having, you're so surprised at what
can come out in your characters exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So what's been your most challenging role so far and
how did you prepare for That's a.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Really great question.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Would I would say I would say my most challenging
role was when I was on that sitcom. I think
that it's over potentially overlooked. That comedy is actually very
very difficult, and it requires timing which is really hard,
and it's very subjective and it's really hard to hit
(17:23):
those notes. And when I first got that job, that
job the first day, I had crazy nerves. You know,
I was working with Dave Foley, who is a comedy legend,
and I you know, I'd gone through a very lengthy
audition process. I think I did like nine full auditions
for that and Ken Reid's with different actors, and I
(17:45):
had to know, like, Okay, they chose me for a reason.
I obviously can do something, and I just had to
stay really true to myself and where I saw the comedy.
But that every day, every scene, finding the comedy and
hitting it and really getting it was extremely challenging.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
And also when you get.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
That laugh just so incredibly rewarding because we did it
in front of a live studio audience, so you get
the real time laughs, right, it's not they put the
laugh track on kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
So that was the most rewarding, but also.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
The most terrifying because when you didn't get the laugh
you're like, oh gosh, what do I need to rework here?
But you got to work with the writers and it
was a very collaborative experience.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
And yeah, I would have to say that would be
the big challenge for me.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Well, we are excited. We learned that you've got two
Christmas movies that are going to be on TV this year.
I tell Pamas that I can't wait because you're one
of my favorite actresses. I'll just say that, And so
anything you do I'm always going to watch because, like
I said earlier, you have such a natural ability about
you that comes through on screen. So I think it
(18:58):
does resonate with a lot of viewers when I see
your work. But we understand you've you've wrapped Radio Christmas Romance,
and then you've got a movie coming out on up
TV Christmas in Big Sky Country. What can you share
with us about those movies? I've given too much away.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Oh, rodeo Christmas Romance. I loved that. I was drawn
to that role because.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
There were horses, and I used to ride, and I
love horses. So when I found out about this, I
got really really excited because I haven't worked with a
horse before, so I'd never played a cowboy or cowgirl,
so it was just it's something different. And I've worked
with Corey many times and I adore that man.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I adore his wife. Her and I are very close
as well, so whenever I hear that I'm going to
work with him, it just it.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Just flows with him. The chemistry is there, and he's
just such a great scene partner. So that movie is
uh is.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
About to roade stars who had to.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
My character has a best friend who has a farm
and we're about to go on a Christmas rodeo tour
when my horse gets injured and I can't join my
best friend immediately, so he has to leave me to
go on tour and I have to stay back at
his farm and get my horse better.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
But his estranged brother.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Ends up returning back from the military to the farm
and he and I have to figure out a way
to coexist while I get my horse better and he
ends up, you know, helping me do that, and you know,
the drama ensues.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
But it's a really good one.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
And this one too, you know, just on the conversation
of comedy. There was a lot of funny beats, a
lot of very serious beats as well.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
But we had a really good time with this one
and I'm really excited for it.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's great. And you mentioned that Corey's character is going
to be coming back from the military, and I love
the fact anytime I'm a military element is incorporated into
a movie, just as that little something extra special.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Yes, absolutely, and he you know, he plays a different
role than I'm used to him playing, which is very.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Troubled really, and there's a.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Couple of scenes where you know, he really has to
dig deep and it's very emotional, and you know, it
just brought something different and I'm really excited for everyone
to see that because he really he did an amazing job.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And your other maybe Christmas of Big scott Country. What
can you share about that one?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
That one we shot back in twenty twenty three with
Olivier Brineaut, who's a great friend of mine as well.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That one is about Sorry, I'm getting all mixed up
with my Christmas movies in my head. My character is
close with her sister and her sister's husband ends.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Up getting stuck in in Oh gosh, what's it called.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Oh no, I'm going to forget what it's called. It's
not a mine, but it's kind of like that. I'm sorry,
I should know what that's called. Oh it's a word,
you know. They get stuck in the what's that? Okay
sort of a key but he works with oil.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
It's like a oh, oh, I think I know, yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
What's that word? Oh gosh, it's gonna hit me right
when we hang up. But a rig, an oil rig,
that's what.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
There you go, There we go.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I knew I was going to get there.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
But he gets trapped in an oil rig and the
the CEO of the company ends up having to come
out and see us and promise us that everything's going
to be okay.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
And we do not like this guy because you know, it's.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
All corporate and he's you know, he's just reading us
the lines and he ends up, you know, and his
job is pr so he's just trying to make sure
that nothing gets out in the media, and he keeps
us happy and we kind of see through it, and
he ends up getting close to us and realizing, you know,
that he actually cares and he wants to help. And yeah,
(23:10):
it's a really beautiful story. I do really love it.
I don't want to give too much.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Away, but yeah, yeah, well, we all know how these
movies are going to end, exactly to watch the build
up to the end exactly, that's the true Well, movie
fans are incredibly loyal Yao.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Has that community impacted you as an actress?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I love the Christmas movie community.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
I mean, you know, it's like what you said, you know,
we kind of all know how these movies end, but
no one tires of them, and they're they really bring
a lot of joy to people. And that's one of
the main reasons I absolutely love doing these movies is
is there's a big community and and it's a kind community.
Whenever the movies come out, I received the kindest messages
(24:03):
from people, and I feel like it's a different bubble,
you know. I think in the world today, it's not
always kind. It's not always a kind place. And when
you when you're in show business, you kind of open
yourself up to a lot, whether that's positive or negative criticism.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
But with this community.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I just find it's such a as you said, loyal
place and just so positive and and I'm so grateful
to be surrounded by these people all the time.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, it's it's really hard to overcome the joy, you know,
that you feel during this time of year, and the nostalgia.
It kind of transports you back through when you were
small and you remember all the traditions that you did,
and it's it's a it's a beautiful thing, even if
it only lasts for a season, but it's something you
try to hold onto throughout the rest of the year exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
And it makes it special to the it's only one season,
it's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
That's true. So we have one more fun little question
we always like to wrap up our interviews with, and
this is the lightning round with all Christmas theme questions.
You're no wrong answers. It's like a yay or an
a kind of thing. But the first one is do
you prefer a fake tree or a real tree?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Real tree? I like the smell.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I don't like the mess it makes. It it's a
mess either, but I love I love the smell because
I say, oh, it's Christmas, you know. Okay, On the tree.
Do you have to have matching ornaments or do you
mix and match.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Them matching like I like to do. It doesn't have
to be all matching, but I like to do. I
like to have a theme.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
I like it to be, yeah, like Redding gold or
something like that. I try to switch it up, but
I do like a theme, if you will.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
So do you prefer snow for Christmas? Or do you
like beach weather?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Snow? Big, big time snow on Christmas? Ever done beach
on Christmas? And I don't?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Me neither, But it's some people, do you know? People
knowing that the beach at that time of year either exactly?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I would be if I could just and I have
snow too much winter, so I would definitely take the.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, it wouldn't be the same, but I get it.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I know there's something about it, you know. So do
you prefer Christmas in July through December or only in December?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Only in December. I'll do November as well, November December,
but yeah, I I November first, right after Halloween. I'm
ready to go.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
M And last, but not least, one thing you have
to find in your stocking.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
A lottery ticket.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I don't know why, but that is something my parents
have put in my stocking since as long as I
can remember, So it is just not Christmas without a
little lottery ticket in my stocking. I think I've only
ever won about twelve dollars. But but it's it's it's
it's a tradition.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I don't know if that's kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Or not, but no, it's We had another guest that
said exactly that.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
So yeah, okay, good, okay, it's a thing.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I think it is a thing. I think it is
a thing.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Indeed, I think it's more common than we know of.
You know, we're finding that now.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, okay you can.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yeah, let me know if you hear more about it,
because yeah, that's what That's the one thing I think
of when I think of stocking.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
There's always so much in there, but right without fail, and.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
The fact you want money at one point that was
great too, you know, said yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, and you're not actually losing anything because somebody else
bought that ticket, like Santa Claus, right about it.
