Carolyn Lawrence
NB: Has anyone, including a child, ever recognized you or your voice work?
Carolyn Lawrence: Yes. There are times when people recognize me from my on-camera work, or from the behind the scenes segments on the video releases.

NB: What actor has been your favorite to work with so far?
Carolyn Lawrence: Tim Conway. He's funny, bright, kind and very professional. I also enjoyed working with Michael Madsen. Michael and I worked together on Vampires Anonymous, and because he is so intense, most people were either a little bit afraid of him, or intimidated by him. While working on Vampires, I decided my goal would be to make Michael laugh. It took all day, but I did it.

NB: Who would you love to work with?
Carolyn Lawrence: There are so many talented directors, actors, writers and producers that I would love to have the opportunity to work with. Honestly, the most rewarding thing for me is working along side people who I can learn from. When you look at it that way, working with most people is an exciting and rewarding adventure, but off the top of my head, I'd love to be Adam Sandler's love interest, and I would love to act in a Tim Burton film.

NB: What would your dream role be?
Carolyn Lawrence: I don't really have a "dream role." I've always wanted to play someone in an action film like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. Truthfully, I just want to keep creating and growing in every single aspect of my life.

NB: What other careers would you like to try?
Carolyn Lawrence: The funny thing is, when I want to try something, I do! I'm actively involved in pursuing my other interests. I recently started a clothing line with a business partner and, I'm in the process of setting up a seminar/lecture event with one of America's leading experts in sustainable living. I have a passion for real estate and architecture and I am in the middle of planning an addition to my house. When the time is right, I would also like to invest in a property with my sister and brother-in-law.

NB: Do you have any projects in the works you'd like to tell us about?
Carolyn Lawrence: I'm currently producing an independent film titled, the Dog and Pony Show. I have two upcoming animated series, but I can't share them just yet. I'll get back to you when they are further along. (One of them was Moral Orel, which is now on Adult Swim.)
