Acker: For all my life growing up, I thought I wanted to be a ballerina. And then I got knee surgery in high school so I couldn't dance, and I started taking acting in high school, I guess my sophomore year. Right after that, I knew that was what I wanted.
(edit)
(Amy on first landing the role of Fred on Angel)
Amy Acker: At first, I thought I was just doing three episodes. I had a normal audition and at the final call-back, I was the only person there, so I kind of thought I was the one who got it. They said that they were looking for another girl character for the show, but they didn't know who it was going to be. So we kind of convinced them to use me. Joss Whedon wrote a little screen test and I went in a filmed that with J. August Richards and Alexis Denisof, and found out about a day later. (edit) (Amy's thoughts on the ending of Angel)
Amy: I keep being the only one who cries, then I make everyone else cry and, I feel bad. (edit) (Amy on her character Fred on Angel)
Amy: Fred loves junk food, so yesterday I got to eat ice-cream. I’m always getting snacks on set. The first day, my room on the set had Taco Bell wrappers all over the floor, so you can see she has been excited to get back and have tacos. (edit) (On dancing when she was younger)
Amy Acker: While growing up, I was pretty shy, and dance was a great way to express things without having to talk in front of people. (edit)
