Candice Patton Chats with Haute Living

Candice Patton sat down and chatted with Haute Living about her hit CW show, The Flash. The star has been playing the role of Iris West on the superhero show for the past 6 seasons.

In the interview, Patton talks growing close with her cast, getting to play Iris, moving into film roles, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

On growing close to her cast: “Jesse L Martin and Keiynan Lonsdale who play my father and brother are my closest “family” members. We naturally formed a bond that I think will last outside of the show. In general over six years casts become like a family in many ways. Over time we create lives outside of the show and that becomes our focus. So we all spend considerably less time together as we are all jetting off to be with our friends or families, but we have a rhythm at this point so being on set and working together is seamless”.

On moving into film: “I think film is the right next step for me. I’ve learned that I think I benefit from change and new challenges when it comes to my work. I think working on a character for a few months, pouring my heart and soul into and then moving on is great for my creative stimulation and energy. I’m hoping to work on some films in the future. I love smaller independent films, but would love to do comedy as well. I’d also definitely do more television in my future but in a more limited format”.
