Interview: Lindsey Frazier - 'Nicole Edmunds' in Mystery at Mansfield Manor - Page 2

Andy: She certainly does interact with the other characters in several different ways – cold and calculating to some like Rachel, then warm and kind to others like Debra, then become sexy, sultry and seductive around Greg! How do you prepare for a role that varies in moods and emotions so much?

Lindsey: Well, in everyday life you interact differently with each person you know. You have people you like, dislike, love, trust, or distrust etc. Nicole is a slightly heightened character who simply does not hold back on any of these emotions. In preparing for each scene, I made sure I knew exactly how I felt about each character I was involved with, what our history has been, and what I wanted from them. 

Andy: And on top of having to deal with such a varied character, you also had to act with an interactive audience in mind. What differences are there between interactive movies and standard movies from an actor’s point of view?

Lindsey: To be honest, not a whole lot from the actors stand point. We were given a movie script, shot it, and left the rest up to directing and editing.

Andy: And one of the bonuses I would guess would be that you had a nice location to film in. It certainly is a nice house. Where was it shot?

Lindsey: Yes, it was a beautiful house on the outskirts of Toronto. It was always exciting to see which room we would shoot in next.

Andy: And in that house, Nicole seemed to be a generally disliked character in MaMM on the screen, but how well did you get on with your peers while off the screen?

Lindsey: The entire cast was fantastic. Although we only knew each other for a week, we certainly did gel as a cast.

Andy: Judging from the “Behind the Scenes” Material it looks like you had a blast making this game. My girlfriend doesn’t like many videogames, but she’s a big fan of CSI and Criminal Minds on TV. Do you think that Mystery at Mansfield Manor will interest her? Will it convert her into a videogame aficionado and force me to buy a second PC so that I don’t have to drag her away from the keyboard kicking and screaming when I want to get some work done?
