Megan Park: Bovine Co-Star

nlaracy — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:00:37 +0000

this is me when I was 16 on the set of my first feature film "some things that stay"

One time I worked with a movie cow, an actor movie cow. Well, that was really weird because it was supposedly like a trained cow for this movie, but it clearly wasn’t. I don’t think you can train a cow. Cows are not smart.

We were doing this scene and it was really emotional where this character finds out their mom is really sick. We’re all standing there, and for some reason we’re in a barn with this cow. It was a period piece. And the cow was just sticking its tongue out and licking out the inside of its nose the whole time during the scene and I was dying laughing. All the actors were hysterical because it’s this emotional scene and this cow was standing there like licking its nose the entire time.

I had to move this cow and he wouldn’t move. He was covered with greasy fly spray, I got it all over me. It was a pretty traumatizing experience.

Megan Park: Home Invasion

nlaracy — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:01:18 +0000

This is the scariest thing that ever happened to me. It happened like two months ago. Me and my roommate were in the apartment. She fell asleep with her window open and her screen fell out of her window. And the cops drove by and thought somebody had broken into our apartment because the window was open and the screen was off. And like seven cops came through with their guns drawn. We were like in bed, “We’re just here sleeping. What’s going on?” They were like, “Oh, we thought someone broke in. We knocked on your door and no one heard us.” We’re like, “It’s two in the morning. We were sleeping.” That was pretty traumatizing to wake up to seven cops in your apartment with their guns out. Really traumatizing.

Neither one of us slept alone in our beds for two weeks after. It was like a slumber party every night because we were so scared. We just heard a noise outside and then all of a sudden the cops are through our windows with their guns drawn and are like, “Put your hands up!” That was pretty scary.

Megan Park: Hardcore Rap Phase

nlaracy — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:01:22 +0000

I’m going through a hardcore rap phase right now. I don’t know where it came from, but I’m always on Itunes, and a friend of mine, Aubrey Graham, is the rapper Drake, he’s really big right now. I’ve known him forever from Toronto, and so I downloaded his record and got really into it. I’ve decided I want to learn all the words to like every Drake song just so I can whip it out at parties, “Did you guys know I can rap an entire Drake song?”

I’ve always kind of had a thing for Jay Z, like a secret Jay Z fetish, but I also really liked the really hardcore rap. I’ve made crazy CDs. That’s all I listen to in my car and I don’t know why, but it’s like I can relate to it even though I’m not a gangster and I have no friends that are gangstas but I just really love it. It moves me and I don’t know why, but I love it.

I’m fascinated by gangs. I know that’s bad. When I moved here I didn’t know the Crips and the Bloods were real things and somebody was like, “It’s a real thing.” I’m fascinated by it. Whenever there’s something on the History channel about the history of gangs I always tape it.

Megan Park: Among The Animals

nlaracy — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:00:12 +0000

This is my sister and I with her horse "Pride". I ride a little for fun but my sister rides everyday and we are usually both at the barn everyday that I'm home, playing with him or mucking stalls.

I had a cold, snowy upbringing in Canada. We lived on a farm and had lots of animals. We have a horse. My sister is like a crazy amazing rider. I rode for a long time too but I was always too nervous to do it professionally. And we had dogs, cats, and rescue animals. My mom and my sister run a rehabilitation center for injured wild animals in the spring time. We keep them if the mother gets injured, like hit by a car, and then we get all the squirrels and we have to bottle feed them every hour and then set them free when they are ready. So in the spring time my house is literally a zoo. I would go to the bathroom and they’d be like, “You can’t use the shower, there are baby ducks in there.” There would be ducks and we’d have a ground hog running around the living room. We hand-raised raccoons and then set them free. I’m used to having bunnies hopping around my bedroom floor that are wild.

We live on a river so every morning there were like hundreds of ducks and geese in our front yard. We’d go out and feed them corn. There are deer and my mom would go out and give them apples out of her hand. It was like total Snow White, animals everywhere.

Megan Park: A Real ABC Family

nlaracy — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:40:53 +0000

"Daren, Francia and I goofing around behind the scenes. This was back during season one!"

We used to party a lot more together our first and second seasons. Now we’ve kind of settled into this routine. It’s like family. The interesting thing is I feel like we’re all going to have a bond forever because I mean I met Darren in the audition room. He gave me a ride home because I didn’t have a car yet. We’ve gone through it all together and only the six of us know what’s it’s like to have gone from nothing to this show, to how it’s affected all of our lives. We all have a very deep bond because of that, and a very deep support system.

I feel like I could call any one of them any time of day and they would be there, which is really cool. And there really isn’t any drama. Everyone keeps it professional. We all really enjoy each other genuinely. We love when we get to travel together and get to New York. We always have so much fun and have ridiculously good memories and funny videos afterwards. But we’re all really, really different too, and we don’t spend all of our time together off set, which I think is good and healthy. But when we’re at work we really thoroughly enjoy each other.

This is Shai and I in NYC when we were there doing Tyra. We were only there for a day but we managed to explore so much of the city together. We both enjoy doing the same things so we are good travel buddies.

It’s really bizarre because on set we’re in a bubble. It’s the same people we’ve known since the beginning and they don’t treat us any differently. Your work life doesn’t change, but as soon as you leave set now there’s like people everywhere who know who you are, who are like following you and stuff like that. I can’t go one day probably if I went to the mall or people would see me without – it’s kind of bizarre.

There’s a lot of like staring and pointing and people are will yell out, “Grace” to see if I’ll turn around. But now people are starting to know my name and coming up to me and just asking for photos and telling me that they like the show. It’s nothing crazy.

Here’s a look at the happy cast:

Megan Park: On Downey Jr. and Ringwald

nlaracy — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:00:11 +0000

ON ROBERT DOWNEY JR: He’s hilarious. Every take he would do something completely different. You never knew what he was going to say. He’s a genius. He was telling me all these script ideas that he had. And he’s also an incredible musician. He can play the piano and sing. We heard him play all the time, really nice, totally down to earth, genius, genius guy. He’s very quirky, really cool.

ON MOLLY RINGWALD: What should I say? She is awesome. I don’t really get to work with her that often because I don’t really have scenes with her, but she’s really cool. She has such interesting stories because she obviously has been like this international huge celebrity for so long, and she was a teen super-star, so it’s interesting to hear her stories and advice about what we should do. Also she lived in France for 10 years and traveled all over Europe, she’s extremely smart, has been to school and studied a million things, and she just really knows what she wants and she puts her family first. She’s not like an attention seeking person whatsoever. She’s very low key, down to earth and she’s all about her craft and doing the best job she can do.

Megan Park: The Secret Life Of The American Teenager

nlaracy — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:04:04 +0000

It starts out season one following this character Amy who is 15 and gets pregnant. It also follows this group of six kids at her school going through different problems, but mainly focusing on this teenage pregnancy and how it affects everybody. It’s pretty risqué, but in an educational and cool way.

I play Grace Bowman,the total opposite of Amy, like a total good girl, saving herself for marriage, dating this guy who is a football player. She’s the head cheerleader, her parents are really religious. Then she goes through a whole bunch of changes through the seasons. Her father passes away, she starts questioning her religion, the boyfriend. It basically follows real teenagers going through real issues. I think that’s why kids respond to it.

I’m probably the most like Grace out of any of the characters. I have a theory that usually people get cast in a character because on some level they can relate to it. Everybody on our show who plays their character has a lot of similarities. But I’m definitely not as straight-edged as her, and I’m not as goody two shoes. But yeah, I’m a lot like her. She is very positive and outgoing. I think people see that in me too for the most part.

This next season we have an episode coming up called, “Just Say Me”. It’s when I start a club about not having sex with other people, about having sex with yourself and it’s called, “Just Say Me” and when I read the episode title I was like, “You are kidding me.” I’m so embarrassed to say these things and do this episode.” There’s a scene where I’m in the cafeteria and I stand up and I tell everybody about this club and start chanting about it and I was pretty embarrassed to do that with everybody starting at me. I’m really embarrassed for my parents to see that episode.
