In Rapid Fire, we ask each Girl to finish the beginning of a sentence we provide. They will have only mere milliseconds to provide a response, so these answers will come straight from their unconscious, unencumbered by oppressive societal conventions and the insidious forces of excessive politeness. Enjoy Erica Cerra. My motto is… To look to the brighter side and think “what can I... [Read more]

It’s by Biggie Smalls. When I lived in L.A. I hadthe CD in my car and I used to play it on the way to my auditions. It’s essentially about growing up in a rough neighborhood with no money and dreaming big, and of fulfilling that success. It inspired me on my drives, on my very long drives, across Los Angeles from audition to audition. Need a little inspiration? Hold on to that dream, baby. Listen... [Read more]

I think it’s genetics. Both of my grandparents, who I call my Nonas, were fabulous Italian cooks. They weren’t employed chefs, but my mom, who also loves to cook, has a pasta manufacturing company on Vancouver Island and she makes fresh pasta. She also teaches people how to cook. She does cooking lessons and that sort of thing. So it’s just something that I always enjoyed, and of course,... [Read more]

I used to work at a tanning salon when I was younger, and one day, one of our clients came in. Tha was a period of my life when I was a lot more introverted. It was sort of like the attention you get from men. I was very outgoing to people that I knew, but when it came to people that I didn’t know, I didn’t really know how to be welcoming to people. I didn’t really know what to talk about... [Read more]

Growing up I can’t say that I had the best luck, and I pouted about it a lot. I whined a lot. I was really down on myself just for certain things. One day, when I was 17, a girlfriend of mine was getting a tattoo and I was sitting beside her. I guess I was bitching, squawking about whatever was going on in my life. The tattoo guy looks at me, and he didn’t know me from a hole in the wall,... [Read more]

There was this misconception of Canada for a very long time. When I was growing up and first started acting, I did a TV show with some young girls and they came to Canada. One of them was from New York. And she said to me, “God, it’s so bizarre. It’s like a small New York.” And I said, “Well, what did you think it was?”  Mind you, she was 13. And she’s said, “I don’t know. I... [Read more]

I’ve always described the show as sort of a Desperate Housewives/X Files/Northern Exposure. It’s a small town full of the best of the best in all aspects. We’ve got a spaceship engineer, we’ve got my character who is special forces, the best of the best. We’ve got scientists who range from a geologist to a physicist to people who study different animals. It’s a town full of these really,... [Read more]
