society, and to people’s use of social media.
I hope after people watch, they are a little
more careful in what they are choosing to
put out on the internet. Always remember
that once it’s out, it’s there forever and can
end up in the wrong persons’ hands.
What inspired you to become an actress?
How did you first get involved with acting?
I always loved theater growing up. Acting,
dancing and gymnastics was my life for so
many years. Dance was just the first avenue
of my career that seemed to excel
the quickest.
What have been some of your favorite
experiences in your career?
My favorite moment of my career was when
we were filming High School Musical 2,
and Kenny Ortega came up to me and said,
“Mollee, do you have an agent?” Of course I
responded that I didn’t, so without hesitation
he got on his phone, called his agency, and
told them I was a level 10 dancer and a star.
Then, he mentioned to them that I needed
to be signed with them right away. I was
in shock! I couldn’t believe it, but that day
was the day that my entire career started.
Even though I had done previous work as
a dancer, that was the moment that I knew
I was good enough to do this for the rest of
my life.
Is dance still a big part of your life?
I will always have a huge love for dance. I
don’t do many commercial jobs anymore as
I am primarily focused on my acting career,
but I still travel around the world and teach
whenever I can.
When you are not busy acting, what do
you enjoy doing?
I love to take my dog, Stewie, to the dog
park. I absolutely love to go to the ocean and
I am a sucker for a day full of binge-watching
television shows on my couch. :)
Are you currently working on any future
projects you can tell us about?
I have two more movies coming out this
year. They are The Reliant and The Favorite,
so stay tuned!
