1. The first thing that pops into my mind is actually Louie’s introduction scene on the pilot, because I was so scared. I mean, it was my first day as a series regular on a show and I had to beat up a person really bad. I was like, “How am I gonna do this?” I don’t know, but I was really scared at the time, because I didn’t want to let Louie down, I didn’t want to let John [Singleton] down, as well as my cast mates and directors. I was very timid at first and it wasn’t selling, so I had to tell myself, “Louie wouldn’t care. You’re caring too much. The love is there when there’s no love going on right here.” Once I was able to kind of let that go, then it was fine.
I had to channel like, all my like badass cousins and, by that, I mean badass bitches. I got some badass bitches in my family. So I was just like, “Alright, let’s go! Let’s do it. Let’s make some people proud here.”
To catch more of Angela as Louie, tune into Snowfall every Wednesday at 10 p.m. on FX or stream it on Hulu the following day!
