(Eat a Dick Joel is proud to present an exclusive interview with actress Jessie Ward, who plays Emma Crawford on the MyNetworkTV series "Wicked Wicked Games.")
EADJ: So, Jessie, this is your second soap opera...
Jessie: Daytime drama. We prefer to call them daytime dramas.
EADJ: Okay, this is your second daytime drama. How is this one different?
Jessie: Well, it's more about character in this series. We all play over-the-top roles here, since it's a supernatural-based storyline, but there is more emphasis on building a part. I think it's fun to be big and have permission to take your acting ability and be as big as possible with it. So this is great.
EADJ: I see.
Jessie: And since this isn't based on any written work, it's up to the actors to establish and create their character from the ground up.
EADJ: Wow.
Waiter: Uh, excuse me...
Jessie: Yes?
Waiter: Hi, do you mind if we move you guys over to the next table?
Jessie: What? Why?
Waiter: Well, you are both sitting at a four-seater, and a party of four has just come in.
Jessie: (flustered) Then why did you seat us here?
EADJ: Uh, we're trying to conduct an interview here...
Waiter: We really need the space...
Jessie: You can't just seat us here and then move us over right after we got our entrees! This is ridiculous!
EADJ: So what's it like working with Tatum O'Neal?
Jessie: Why don't you just move those two little tables over to seat the four?
Waiter: But those are in two different zones, and I can't...
Jessie: I want to speak to your manager.
EADJ: (stares at notepad)
Jessie: Let me speak to your manager.
Waiter: Shit. I gotta go. (runs with other waiters onto the bar)
Group of 12 waiters on top of the bar: (singing) We go to-gether, like rama lama lama, ke ding a de dinga a dong...
Jessie: Christ. Why did you choose Ed Debevic's, anyway?
