While covering this year’s Sundance Film Festival for Hollywood Life magazine, I caught up with two of the stars of the quirky new Southern-fried comedy Waitress, Kerri Russell and Jeremy Sisto. The film has just been released nationwide.
Kerri, you play the title character. Why doesn’t the film’s advertising say, “Kerri Russell is Waitress”?
KR: (Laughs) I don’t know. I’ll take that note to Fox Searchlight.

Have either of you ever waited tables?
KR: I haven’t. All of my younger years were spent studying dance. But I loved doing it for the movie. I loved my outfit. I loved everything.
JS: I worked at Subway. That was the closest I got. I was horrible. They had these white marble chopping boards and the only thing you couldn’t get on it was meatball sauce. If you got it on there they had to bleach it--it was a whole process--and I just kept staining that board. The last time I did it my boss didn’t even have to fire me. We just both knew. I just walked out.

After many years of gay news, blogs, photos, and more, OutZoneTV.com is closing...

This is one of my favorite movies. The humor in it was fantastic and the acting was perfect. I wasn't sure what this movie was about before seeing it, and I wasn't expecting too much out of it, but I was intrigued throughout the whole movie. Kerri Russell-- you are by far my favorite actress. You are believable and people can identify with you. Although my life is nothing like what is in the movie, I was moved. Congrats on a great movie and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
