How did Julie not make it into our #WomanCrush Wednesday gallery on skatronixxx.com? We need to fix this!!
As you know I have agreed to help out Joey Adams promote his idea for a new show called ‘Internity’, why did I agree to this? Well to be honest he was nice and asked! Plus after doing a little bit of research, it seems awesome. It was pitched to me as ‘If Scrubs met E.R and went to Comic Con’, let’s be honest I was sold on Comic Con, throwing in Scrubs and E.R. just sweetend the deal!
Over the next couple of weeks you’ll be seeing be seeing interviews with the cast of ‘Internity’, as they try to drum up enough support to get the funding they need to produce the pilot show. Let’s give you a little spoiler into the mind of Internity creator Joey.
OMG it’s Deanna Troi and Worf from Star Trek: TNG
It’s time to meet the next cast member, it’s a lady who’s been in shows such as Supernatural and Mad Men. It’s Julie McNiven!

1) How did you get into acting?
I started doing community theatre in my hometown. Very quickly, all of my sports activities were replaced with voice lessons, dance classes and theatre rehearsal. I knew from a very young age that this is what I wanted to do and my parents have been extremely supportive.
2) You’re currently working on ‘Internity’, how would you describe your character and the show?
I play the role of Sara Cohen who is a first year intern. She is smart, empathetic and eager to help…..which sometimes just makes the situation worse. She is young in many ways, and still trying to figure out how she fits in at Portland Memorial and in the real world. INTERNITY is a dramedy that centers around Camilla, a 50 year old divorcee making a new start, and Dr. Nate, a young chief intern who daydreams in the worlds of all his favorite tv shows. I was really impressed with script. The laughs of Scrubs, the drama of ER with the cleverness of all our favorite sci-fi shows. If you’re a fan of sci-fi, you will most definitely see lots of mini-reunions in these dream sequences.
3) You appeared in Supernatural as Anna Milton and in Mad Men as Hildy, do you have any interesting stories from your time on the shows?
My biggest memories working on Supernatural are how much laughing I did. Every day, in between very serious takes, was a lot of laughter. The boys (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) have done an extraordinary job of setting the tone on that set. They get their work done and have a great time doing it. Mad Men was the show that brought me out to Los Angeles. It holds a special place in my heart and I feel so lucky to have had 3 years on a show that wowed me week after week.
Julie has been involved in two great shows, if you haven’t seen either SHAME ON YOU!!
4) If you could be in one existing film, what film and character would you choose and why?
Well, I had a baby 9 months ago so I don’t see a lot of movies. But there lots of Tv shows I’d love to be on! My husband and I just binge-watched season 5 of The Walking Dead and I’ve wanted to be on that show for years. We had very serious discussions about the state of mind each character must be in after killing so many…zombies.
5) What the story behind you dressing up as Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, and Crocodile Cal….don’t ask. ?
Haha! Summer job. In the summer I worked at Six flags New England theme park doing their stage shows. Then, off-season I would sometimes play Bugs Bunny or Sylvester at Red Sox and Bruins games. It was glamorous. 🙂 Ha ha.
This looks like a fun place to work!
6) What can we expect to see from you in the remaining months of 2015 and into 2016?
I’m working on a few projects that are in the early stages. A short film, Injection with my old SGU buddy David Blue, and a feature film called Mayfly starring the talented Lyndon Smith. I wrapped Babymoon in July and hopefully that will start the festival circuit in ’16. That was such a fun film for me because my husband and my son are also in it! It’s an adventure comedy we shot down in Puerto Rico for a few weeks. Fun days in the jungle, zip lining with a go pro, motorcycle stunts, pumping breastmilk in the van and wearing a big baby bump only months after I had a real baby bump. I can assure you, it will be a fun-filled movie.
7) Tell our readers one fun fact about yourself that they may not already know?
Hmmmm…I day dream of moving to New Zealand. I don’t know what we’d do, but I love it there!
8) Finally what advice would you have any advice for an upcoming actress or actor?
The training never ends because there is always more to learn. Do something every day for your craft, and just as importantly have a full life outside of your craft. Also, you have to LOVE acting to pursue it. If you don’t, the endless rejection you’ll receive day after day just won’t be worth it. Most importantly, just like any career you choose, you have to believe in yourself.
