Interview: Erin Karpluk of Being Erica on South African debut

erica1.jpgFrom Anisa Ussuph of East Coast Radio (South Africa):

  • What if you could go back in time?
    “I’m shocked and excited by how many countries will be watching the show. What is surprising to me is the demographic of people who watch. I have men in their 40’s & 50’s coming up to me to talk about how much they relate to the show. My guess is that the theme of the show, ‘regrets’ is universal, regardless of your age, gender, class, race…any human could relate to the mistakes that Erica has made. It is such a gift as an actor to be part of a story that people identify with. I hope it is received well in South Africa because I’d love to come and visit!” Read more.

Review: The Conventioneers on Bite TV

From Cameron Archer of URBMN:

  • TV Review: The Conventioneers 4.1 – “Job Fair”
