Holly Danelle plays Corey's younger sister, Cherry, in Adventures in #Adulting.

​FUN FACT: While these two actors play siblings in the web series, they play lovers in another film coming your way later this year!

Now, it's time to get to know the sensational Holly...who you WILL get to see more of in Season 2!

1. In what ways are you and the character Cherry Caruso similar?
It's crazy, but we wear the same size shoe and can rock a nose ring like nobody's business. Honestly, Cherry is way cooler than I am. 

2. Which episode of Adventures in #Adulting do you feel will appeal the most to audiences?
The one I'm in (Episode 2: "Corey's Bogus Journey"). And, because it's the only one I've read. But I have no doubt they're all awesome!

3. What is your favorite 90's movie?
Romeo & Juliet. Also, The Fifth Element. Oh, and 10 Things I Hate About You. 

4. Which full album from the 90's would be the first you'd add to a playlist?
I would get really bored listening to one artist, so I listened to a lot of soundtracks in the 90's. With that being said, I can't decide between the soundtrack for Cruel Intentions or Romeo & Juliet. I love the variety and songs of both.

5. Will we see more of Cherry in Season Two?
I hope so. I think she has a lot more to offer and maybe a few surprises in store.

6. What brought you to Portland, Oregon?
My parents. We moved from the Bay Area when I was a wee lass. We may have started the California Transplant Movement. Sorry about that!

7. In Portland, name your favorite place to grab some grub?
I LOVE Marrakesh in NW. Who doesn't love finger food and belly dancers?

8. Who is the one actor/actress you'd love to work with?
Sandra Bullock. She's so talented and a real class act.

9. Which of the 7 deadly sins are you most guilty of?
If I'm being honest, probably Envy. I have a horrible habit of comparing myself to others. But put a bag of Lindt truffles in front of me and I'm all Gluttony.

10. Why should people watch Adventures in #Adulting?
Because it's damn funny! Plus, you don't want to be the only one not discussing yesterday's episode at the water cooler. That would be sad and lonely. I wouldn't envy you. ;-)

Laura Welsh is a name to remember. She is a talented, versatile actress living in Portland, OR. Recently, she was nominated for BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS at the Portland Indie Film Awards for her role in Sex Tape To Save The World.

In Adventures in #Adulting, Laura plays the role of Kate, Claire's high-power entertainment attorney. Kate also is acquainted to Paul from a previous penthouse purchase in the Pearl District. While you do not meet Kate until Episode 8 (the season finale), don't worry, you will get to see a lot more of her in Season Two!

1. In what ways are you and the character Kate similar?

I'd say that we both go for what we want!

2. Which episode of Adventures in #Adulting do you feel will appeal the most to audiences?

I think several of them have appeal but I'll go with the Halloween episode! So many great 90s characters make an appearance, and it's really funny.

3. What is your favorite 90's movie?

So hard to choose! I'll have to go with a tie between Clueless and Romy and Michele's High School Reunion 

4. Which full album from the 90's would be the first you'd add to a playlist?

Again, lots of choices! Probably go for something like the Spice Girls "Spice" (Wannabe, anyone?)

5. Will we see more of Kate in Season Two?

Oh yes, she'll be around to mix some things up!

6. What brought you to Portland, Oregon?

It's my home town! I'm one of those rare native Portlanders you hear about.

7. In Portland, name your favorite place to grab some grub?

I don't think I can name a favorite, totally depends on my mood! I do love Baby doll pizza though. :)

8. Who is the one actor/actress you'd love to work with?

So many questions that need more than one answer! I'd love to work with Kristen Wiig because I find her hilarious and it'd be fun to joke around with her.

9. Which of the 7 deadly sins are you most guilty of?

Maybe envy? Only because I'm guilty of comparing myself to others and wanting what they have. But I've gotten better at making sure I don't do it as much.

10. Why should people watch Adventures in #Adulting?

Because they will laugh! And if you want to laugh and have the bonus of 90's references, then this is the show for you!

Craig Fitzpatrick has been described as the bastard love child between Henry Rollins and Robin Williams. Craig considers this the kindest compliment of his entire life (the second best compliment was when a gang of Drag Queens whistled and cat called him “Leg Boy.”)

Craig has been doing some fun shows here in Portland, including the role of Ming The Merciless in FLASH AH-AHHH! with Stageworks Inc. Other shows have included Looking for Olivia with Twilight Theater Company and several musical cabarets with Torchsong Entertainment. He also enjoys getting super nervous before doing a MOTH Story SLAM.

Before he came to Portland in 2015, he was doing plays, stand up, and story telling in New York City.

Favorite roles have included Richard the Lion Hearted in Lion in Winter, Ali, PJ, and King Carlisle in Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, and Matthew in Private Eyes. He can been seen throughout the city riding on his adult kick scooter, looking like a nine-year-old boy with a serious thyroid problem. He is also a personal trainer and a Chiropractic Assistant, but don’t
judge him too harshly for that.

Now it's time to meet the guy behind the VIDEO MAN and the STRIPPER - both, you will never, ever forget:

1. Which of your two characters did you enjoy most?

Well, who the hell are you to ask me such a question? Lawrence Fishburne from THE MATRIX?  Why ya gotta make me pick one?  Alright, alright, I'll tell ya. Probably the Stripper, only because it would make my Grandma Fitzpatrick proud. 

2. Which episode of Adventures in #Adulting do you feel will appeal the most to audiences?

What is this? TRAINSPOTTING with Ewen McGregor? Why ya gotta make me choose? I would say Episode 8. Out of all the shoots I've ever been on, that was the most fun.  If we captured even a 1/4 of the fun we had at that shoot, it's gonna be the bee's knees. It's got everything from big laughs to some nice, delicate moments.  It's cool to see where the characters have ended up, and I like the hints of where this roller coaster is about to go.

3. What is your favorite 90's movie?

Who are you? Robert Redford from INDECENT PROPOSAL?! Why ya gotta make me-ok, never mind. If we're talking about movies filmed in the 90's, I would say SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.  If we are talking about movies both filmed and set in the 90's...PULP FICTION. 

4. Which full album from the 90's would be the first you'd add to a playlist?

GAH!  You're killin' me, Smalls. JUST ONE ALBUM?! I would say THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL by Nine Inch Nails. 

5. What was it like being painted gold?

What ever do you mean? That's...that's my natural skin color. I mean, OK, the glitter was added...but the gold...that's (ahem) all me...

It was actually pretty awesome!  The amazing Heidi Davis and I were cracking up during the application.  It was all sparkles and giggles...until I tried to eat.  Holy crap on a crap cracker.  I love me some Cheetos, but Not GOLD DUST SPARKLEY FLAVORED CHEETOS. 

And yet it didn't want to come off anywhere else...It was fun trying to explain to my boss on Monday the sparkles I could still not loofah off.  "Oh, see, I'm playing a stripper who was covered in gold and glitter last night..."

6. What brought you to Portland, Oregon?

 LOBSTER!   I LOVE to eat -wait, what?  Oregon- oh god.  I thought this was Maine...

7. In Portland, name your favorite place to grab some grub?

CULTURED CAVEMAN!  In Downtown Kenton!

8. Who is the one actor/actress you'd love to work with?

Mark Rylance.  Anytime you get to see this man act, I think you become a better actor.  I can only imagine what working with him would be like.

9. Which of the 7 deadly sins are you most guilty of?

Murder. Definitely murder. If the cops ever come to my crawl space, let's just say you won't be seeing me for a few lifetimes - Wait - What's that? Murder is not one of the 7 Deadly sins?! VINDICATION! Thank you, God! 

I guess then I would say it's a tie between lust and sloth.  My wife says I've managed to combine the 2...

10. Why should people watch Adventures in #Adulting?

Did you not read the above part about me being painted in gold?! Wake up people! Seriously though, the characters in ADVENTURES IN #ADULTING will make you laugh out loud one moment, cringe at the next. However, the coolest thing is that no mater how crazy the situation is, you can relate to them. That is rare. And wonderful.

​Aimée Binford is the perfect actress to play the role of Jess in Adventures in #Adulting. Jess is the favorite cocktail server at the main bar in the series - Feral Public House in Vancouver, WA.

Aimée is not new to the industry, by any means, and her love interest in #Adulting (Josh Bennett played by Matt Lowe) interestingly plays her son in the upcoming flick Slapped! The Movie. What a twist!

Now it's time for you to meet one of the nicest people on our set:

1. In what ways are you and the character Jess similar?

Jess and I both really enjoy making sure everyone is having a good time and not feeling left out. She doesn't really get into other people's drama much because she knows things change day-to-day and moment-to-moment so why not be cheery and help someone have a great day?

2. Which episode of Adventures in #Adulting do you feel will appeal the most to audiences?

I'm not entirely sure, but I am sure they will laugh at each episode. Tristan David Luciotti, the writer of the series, put together some hilarious people! The improv on set had me cracking up most of the time.

3. What is your favorite 90's movie?

Magnolia...I think that was in the 90s?

4. Which full album from the 90's would be the first you'd add to a playlist?

TLC...Ooooh on the TLC tip

5. Are Jess and Josh committed? What kind of relationship do they have?

It's a fun and flirty work in progress. They are both a little unsure, but are really enjoying things as they go without any pressure.

6. What brought you to Portland, Oregon?

I was 19 and had just moved back from a brief time in NYC, from Corvallis, Oregon. What a trip. So many stories, but the day that I flew back I was in love and knew I could not go back to Corvallis. Old Portland was so very interesting and a bit seedy at times. I was ready to be on my own here and plant my roots.

7. In Portland, name your favorite place to grab some grub?

Oh man, way too many places. I love food. We'd have to ask me about each and every area of Portland. Fooooood, mmmm.......

8. Who is the one actor/actress you'd love to work with?

If you now me at all, you already know the answer without any thought....BILL. Bill f***ing Murray. <3

9. Which of the 7 deadly sins are you most guilty of?

Hmmm, after reading the true definition of each, none of them fit me at all. I was thinking maybe sloth, but I am a REALLY hard worker. To the point of exhaustion most times, so when I finally relax, I REALLY relax.

10. Why should people watch Adventures in #Adulting?

​Because you'll be highly entertained and you don't even need to be "high" to be entertained. It's good stuff. The writing, the talent, the crew that helps make it happen. It will be like that show you've been watching on Netflix and when you've watched the last episode, you just don't know what to do anymore. You're missing your show!

Heidi Davis is a self proclaimed "ham" with a love of comedy and all things wacky! 

When she was a child Heidi recalls memorizing all of Jim Carey's lines from "The Mask" and "Ace Venture" and Robin Williams' bits from "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Aladdin" and annoying her friends and family with them constantly.

That was the start of her passion for creating crazy characters, doing celebrity impersonations, and making people laugh.

She has performed in over 40 plays, musicals, and operas, and she continues to work professionally as a singer and actress.

In Portland she gets to scratch her character "itch" with Red Shoe Productions where she performs as her comedy idol, Lucille Ball, as well as Elsa from "Frozen," and all her favorite Disney Villains.

Heidi also produces and performs in musical cabarets and original jukebox musicals as the artistic director of Torchsong Entertainment LLC. For videos and recordings of Heidi visit: www.HeidiDavisSoprano.com.

In Adventures in #Adulting, Heidi tackles not one, not two, but THREE small (but memorable) characters!

1. Out of the 3 characters you play, which one are you most similar to and which one was the most fun to play?

I am most similar to the Singing Telegram because I'm a showboating singing ham, but it was the most fun to play Michele/Jay who I am the LEAST like. Portraying such an iconic character was challenging, but so rewarding. It really stretched me as an actor. Snootchie Bootchies! 

2. Which episode of Adventures in #Adulting do you feel will appeal the most to audiences?

The Halloween episode for sure. Halloween party episodes are always MY favorite when I watch a TV series.

3. What is your favorite 90's movie?

HOCUS POCUS. Duh. I'm pretty sure it's my favorite movie, PERIOD. And I know ALL the dialogue by heart.

4. Which full album from the 90's would be the first you'd add to a playlist?

Weird Al Yankovic - Bad Hair Day. He is one of my idols!

5. Who has been your favorite cast member to work with on Adventures and #Adulting?
​
Randy Kovach of course!!! I know everyone will say Craig (because who does't love a glittery gold stripper) but I stand by my awesome Silent Bob!

6. What brought you to Portland, Oregon?

It seemed like the cool thing to do.

7. In Portland, name your favorite place to grab some grub?

Nicolas's ...or Sizzle Pie... or City State for BRUNCH. I LOVE BRUNCH.

8. Who is the one actor/actress you'd love to work with?

Like a famous one? Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. We would make some amazing comedy together. And Johnny Depp. I'd love to create some wild characters with him.

9. Which of the 7 deadly sins are you most guilty of?

Gluttony. Which is why I hire tiny gnomes to stand outside my fridge and prod me with spears every time I reach for a cookie. That's the only way I stay in shape.

10. Why should people watch Adventures in #Adulting?

Because it's packed full of amazing 90's nostalgia! Also I feel that the main characters are really well developed, charming, and likable. I think viewers will really connect with them. There's also a lot of fun absurdity and silliness in the comedy that hearkens to Parks and Rec or 30 Rock that people will really love. Some of the side characters (wink wink) are also extremely colorful and hilarious!
