Sofia Wylie Stuns For LADYGUNN

Sofia Wylie sat down with LADYGUNN to promote her new film, The School Of Good And Evil. The young actress will play Agatha in the upcoming Netflix film. Highlights from her interview are below.

On what drew her to the role: “I found her complexity and her realism so interesting. In the past, we’ve seen princesses represented in a specific way. Whereas now, we’re able to see a princess who does not look or act like a princess we’ve seen in the past. I think that’s really cool because as human beings that’s how we are. We’re not one-dimensional. We’re all so different. To be able to see that in a fantasy setting, adds a lot of reality and groundedness. Agatha is the voice of the audience, as you watch the movie, wondering why a character is making a decision or why someone is acting this way. Agatha will literally point it out. It’s fun being a part of a movie and also being a part of the audience too and giving a voice to them.”

On her costars: “I was really able to learn from each of those amazing actors that you mentioned by watching them. The biggest lessons that I learned were through their actions and the way that they held themselves on set, especially Kerry Washington, a lot of my scenes were with her. I got to be on set with her a lot. The way she held herself with such respect for herself and her own work, but also such respect for everyone else. She’s also such a good actor so getting to see her mannerisms and the different choices that she would make was astonishing. It was the best masterclass that I’ve ever been a part of because she wasn’t trying to teach me anything, it’s just that what she was doing was teaching me so much about the kind of actor I want to be. Through observation, I was able to learn a lot.”
